However, he was quite satisfied with the performance of his other sons.
...
The corn was ready to eat, so Mo Yan loaded a whole cartload back, cooked it, and distributed it to the emperor and the adults at the farm, inviting them to eat at the estate.
The adults at the agricultural college couldn't wait, and even the emperor came along.
The staple foods are boiled corn, cornbread, sweet potato noodles, and stir-fried potatoes.
Braised pork with potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes...
In short, this was a feast of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, please taste the produce, and then we can go together to see the harvest." [This is a fictional story; the climate was different back then, and to ensure the emperor could see the yield, they planted at the same time regardless of the season.]
"Okay, okay, let's go check out this production volume together,"
After they finished eating together, they went to the fields.
When the people saw that the emperor had come in person, they all knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
At the same time, everyone felt that he must be a good emperor, otherwise why would he come to the fields in person?
With such an emperor, they certainly wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
They quickly started digging up sweet potatoes and potatoes.
We'll have to wait a bit longer for corn.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the potatoes on one acre yielded 1,000 jin, and the sweet potatoes even more, 1,200 jin.
They were stunned when they calculated it.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Even the tenants were stunned.
This harvest is fantastic.
Mo Yan smiled when she saw it. Actually, it was nothing. She was just afraid that they wouldn't dare to accept it.
The emperor immediately ordered that all the harvested potatoes and sweet potatoes be transported to various parts of the country, and that the heads of the tenants be given guidance on how to cultivate them, and even given them minor official positions.
The emperor, mindful of Mo Yan's merits, bestowed upon her the title of Princess.
At this moment, Mo Yan told the emperor that she wanted to go to the border town.
I should have gone long ago, but I stayed because of the food problem.
Now she is going to the border town.
"Are you really sure? You don't plan to stay in the capital?"
The emperor was genuinely surprised; Mo Yan could have easily stayed here.
"I have made up my mind. I will go back and lead the military households to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land to defend the border city."
Seeing that he was certain, the emperor handed Little Fifteen over to Mo Yan, instructing Mo Yan to take the two children with her.
"Little Fifteen is all he does is cry. Take him away and train his courage. Come back in three to five years."
Mo Yan: "???"
Mo Yan was preparing to set off again with a large cartload of things, this time with two little ones. Her grandmother held her granddaughter's hand, reluctant to part with her.
"Momo, you've only been back for a short time! Don't leave, don't leave."
"Grandma, next year, next year your granddaughter will come back to spend the New Year with you, okay?"
You should eat well and take walks regularly.
You can't eat fatty meat, and you can't secretly grill and eat fish yourself.
Fatty meat is absolutely out of the question…
Grandmother quickly let go of Mo Yan's hand and calmly said goodbye, "You should go now."
Mo Yan: "..."
Grandma is just too cute.
When they first set off, the two little ones were very excited. They had never traveled far before and kept looking at the scenery outside the window, finding everything new and exciting.
