Chapter 39: Farmer's Successor: Chen Nong



"Can."

Ying Zheng actually enjoyed his wife's intimacy very much.

But before the one-month deadline was up, he had to suppress his anger every day.

When taking his pulse a few days ago, Xia Wuqie also prescribed him a decoction to reduce internal heat, so he could only try his best to keep his mind clear and desires few.

The next day.

When Chen Nong took office, he first went to the public fields outside the city to observe the planting of sweet potatoes and cotton.

When we arrived at the fields, we saw farmers plowing with oxen pulling a strange little cart.

Because the plow carts and tipping carts had just been issued, Chen Nong had never seen this kind of agricultural tools on the road.

He curiously asked his colleagues for advice.

"Master He, what kind of farm tool is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

The newly appointed agricultural official was humble and polite, and Lord He was happy to answer his questions.

"This is a plow cart. The shovel underneath can be used to dig furrows, while the wooden box above can be used to sow seeds. It's very convenient."

"I see. It's really ingenious. What's that long shelf next to it?"

"That's a keel waterwheel. You can crank it by hand to irrigate the fields with water from the canal."

"Thank you, Lord He, for clearing up my confusion."

Looking at the convenient farm tools that saved time and effort, Chen Nong couldn't help but walk closer to observe, and his admiration for the queen was like a torrent of water.

Because this is a wheat and soybean growing area.

So, Nong Chen could only walk reluctantly towards the fields where sweet potatoes and cotton were planted.

He did not care about his official status, and chatted cordially with the old farmers, carefully recording various farming details with paper and pen.

At the border, Jiuyuan County, inside the General’s Mansion.

Meng Tian was sitting on a chair wearing iron armor and holding a golden sword.

"Brother, this year we will use all the land we have to grow cotton and sweet potatoes."

"Brother, we should be more cautious. We have never grown sweet potatoes and cotton before. Why don't we try planting a few acres this year?"

Although Meng Yi felt that His Majesty would not act without a purpose, it would still be better to make preparations for both situations and plant some soybeans, wheat, and corn.

After hearing his brother's advice, the determination on Meng Tian's face remained unchanged.

"Based on the previous fire bed and the magic weapon, I am willing to trust Your Majesty and the Queen."

This brat really doesn't know how expensive food and fuel are.

Is it so easy to maintain an army of 300,000?

Now we have products that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu and products that can keep us warm, so of course we have to seize the opportunity.

In addition to believing in Your Majesty's wisdom and bravery, Meng Tian also has the vision and courage of a great general.

"Okay, brother. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not advising you."

Meng Yi couldn't persuade his stubborn brother and had no choice but to give up.

Meng Tian looked at the hesitation on his brother's face and suddenly felt a sense of evil interest.

"Brother, how about we make a bet?"
