The prince raised his hand slightly and signaled to Village Chief Jiang to lead everyone to check the condition of the fields in Taoyuan Township.
Although Village Chief Jiang was somewhat puzzled, he still led everyone respectfully and began to inspect every field in Taoyuan Township.
Along the way, they stopped and walked, carefully observing the crops in the fields and the conditions of the land.
It took nearly two hours to complete this process, and everyone felt exhausted.
Finally, they arrived at the foot of the manor and stopped.
Looking up, I was immediately attracted by the magnificent workshop in front of me.
The prince pointed to the workshop above, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Is the workshop completed?"
Village Chief Jiang nodded and replied: "Reporting to the prince, the workshop has been completed."
The prince turned his head and looked at the workshop again. He knew the function of this workshop - it was a small business jointly run by Sister Chunhua and the daughter of the Dong family.
However, at this moment, an idea flashed through the prince's mind: the workshop needs manpower to maintain its operation, so let the villagers of Taoyuan Village come here to work?
The prince began to imagine the villagers working hard in the workshops and earning income.
They can use their earnings to buy seeds and no longer have to worry about lack of funds;
There may even be some extra money left to engage in other livelihoods and improve the quality of life.
In this way, life will become easier and easier, no longer like it is now, when every household’s assets will be emptied once a natural disaster occurs.

However, these seemingly simple truths are what ordinary people need most urgently.
They are directly related to people's survival and development and are closer to practical life than those profound knowledge.
The prince realized that although the knowledge he had learned in the past was important, it would be meaningless if he could not apply it to practice and seek benefits for the people.
The Minister of Agriculture had a look of surprise on his face. It turned out that the land in Taoyuan Township not only had the highest planting rate among all the nearby areas, but it was also the most planted so far!
He excitedly grabbed Village Chief Jiang and eagerly asked him how he did it.
You know, according to the information he knew, the villagers in Taoyuan Township did not live a rich life. Where did they get the money to buy expensive grain seeds?
Village Chief Jiang smiled and explained to the Minister of Agriculture: "The money that the villagers used to buy grain seeds was actually lent to us free of charge by Ruiyun County. After the grain is harvested, we can return the money to her."
When the Grand Minister of Agriculture heard this, he could not help but glance at Minister Zhou, and then fell into silence.
This is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct solution, but the problem is that the Ministry of Revenue simply does not have enough money.
Do we really want all local officials to be as magnanimous and selfless as Ruiyun County?
This is obviously unrealistic.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture pondered secretly in his heart, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
The prince didn't say much. After visiting Taoyuan Township, he took everyone away.
