First, he officially crowned his queen as the queen, and had her enter the palace through the Noon Gate. He gave the queen all the respect, making her officially the mother of a country. Zhou Qingyun was not fond of matters between men and women, so he only had one wife and two concubines around him.
He did not give his concubine a high status, but directly gave her the title of imperial concubine, and asked the queen to arrange a palace for her to live in. Then he canonized his sister Jia Jia as Princess Huiyi and raised her under the queen's care. His backyard was taken care of. There were only two or three little cats, and his concubines were not worthy of his trouble, so he directly carried them into the palace in a sedan chair. After all, An Yuxiu was his wife, and Zhou Qingyun gave her all the dignity she deserved.
Just when Zhou Qingyun had almost finished arranging things on his side, after all, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the old ministers and those with ulterior motives were directly dealt with. He arranged his own people in important positions. Then he received news from the distant Jizhou City. At this moment, the City Lord Yu and his wife who came to the capital to pay their respects also returned early. After all, the emperor's mourning period is one day longer than the year. City Lord Yu didn't like the intrigues in Jinling City, so naturally he returned early.
Gu Wanyue, with her five-month-old belly, was standing by the field, watching the old farmers harvesting the crops. These were dry rice and wheat, and the harvest had already begun.
At this moment, the bundles of wheat were harvested from the ground, and the golden corn cobs were placed into baskets one by one and slowly carried out. Just by looking at the size of the corn cobs, it can be seen that the yield this time must be not low.
At this time, only about one acre of land had been harvested, but the grain produced made the old farmers who were harvesting the land tremble with fear. If they had not harvested it themselves, they would probably have thought that the boss was cheating them.
It would be good if this acre of land could produce two dan of grain, and one dan of grain is about 120 kilograms, so two dan is only about 240 kilograms.
After deducting the grain paid for taxes, the output of one acre of land is about one hundred kilograms of grain. However, they are now bending over to cut these crops, and they roughly estimate that one acre of land can produce at least five to eight dan of grain. This is at least three or four times more. This makes them dizzy and they almost dare not calculate.
Not to mention the golden corn. Although its yield used to be higher than that of fine grains such as wheat, it was not as high as this.
In the past, the largest corn cobs were only the size of their palms, and they were all bumpy, with not many corn kernels on a cob. But now the corn is actually bigger than their palms, and each kernel is plump. The plump corn kernels make them love it so much.
This surprised them beyond words. Even when they were harvesting, their hands began to tremble. In this situation, how could they not know the future situation? If all the crops were planted like this, they would not be hungry anymore.
If it can be promoted directly, it means that if they continue to engage in production in the future, there may be no more people starving to death, and they may even become rich. Their children will be able to go to school, and maybe they will be able to change their families in the future.
And there is also the thing buried underground, whose yield is even more amazing, up to two to three thousand kilograms per acre, which is enough to scare them to death. That's right, before they harvested the wheat and corn, they dug out all the sweet potatoes and potatoes first. At first they thought that the seedlings had no fruit and that the boss had been cheated. They were secretly anxious for a long time, worried that the boss would be angry, but the fruit was underground.
These things have high yields and are more filling. Because Wang Shiyu and the others were not too harsh on these tenants, they allowed them to take some home and eat them directly. After they boiled one and ate it, they could feel full. You know, in the past, even if they drank two bowls of porridge, they would not feel so full. Even drinking porridge could only make them feel full.
But now, just a palm-sized sweet potato is enough to fill them up. This feeling of fullness is something they haven't felt in a long time, not to mention their father-in-law, City Lord Yu, who has been refusing to leave the field and is now squatting in the field to study the food.
When the remaining crops were being harvested, everyone came to help with great energy. The harvested grain did not disappoint them. The high yield almost frightened them. The yield was reported back to Jinling, and Zhou Qingyun also knew about it. This thing could not be concealed, not to mention that Zhou Qingyun's people were around them. The father-in-law did not hide it at all, but instead sent a message to Zhou Qingyun.
Zhou Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the old emperor's funeral and dealing with his concubines. But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he was annoyed to death by the remaining people urging him to expand his harem and have children. As soon as the old emperor died, these people started to commit suicide.
So he had no choice but to discuss it with his queen and start the selection right away. After all, it was these old ministers who urged him to do so. If the old emperor was angry, he could just talk to these people in the evening.
Just when he was still thinking about how to deal with those rebellious princes from all over the country, the secret guards he arranged to monitor Wang Shiyu directly reported the extremely high yield of grain to him, as well as the news from Lord Yu. After seeing this secret letter, he fell into silence and reflection.
At this time, he finally remembered that before he left Jizhou City, Wang Shiyu once said that she had something very good for him. If he could remain true to his original intention, these things would be given to him directly so that he could use them to stabilize his country.
But since he came back to Jinling City, he had changed completely. This caused him and Wang Shiyu to drift further and further apart. Naturally, he had forgotten what Wang Shiyu had said. After all, Wang Shiyu was just a weak woman. How could she have any strategies to stabilize the country? As a result, now...
