The yield is astonishing, with a yield of four to five thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes per mu; potatoes, which are worse than sweet potatoes, but can generally yield about two thousand kilograms per mu; drought-resistant and high-yielding corn, and so on.
It can be said that the Qilin Kingdom has seen an increase in food supply in recent years, and it is almost impossible to hear of anyone dying of starvation.
Moreover, due to the abundance of food, if a local disaster encounters something like that, if the court does not receive the news in time, there is no need to worry that the people will riot due to hunger.
Take last year as an example. Most of the northern state of Daozhou has not had rain for nearly half a year. The land has been so dry that the people can say that they have no harvest. If it were to change as usual, it would be a disaster if this situation happened. There are several people who have stored grain in their homes.
Can I eat it for more than half a year?
But last year, Daozhou didn't even ask the court for help, because every household had planted sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. the year before, and they all had a lot of grain in storage, and there was no one in the yamen warehouse who had to pay for it with silver because of the lack of grain.
Usually there is only half a warehouse or something, but the warehouse is almost full to the point of being overcrowded.
They had already saved themselves, and they didn't need the court to worry about it.
How could the surrounding countries not be jealous of Qilin Country like this?
Not to mention someone who doesn't have enough to eat.
This is also the reason why Jun Chenyuan and Qi Baoer decided not to let the 'god' created by the late emperor disappear after discussing it.
It’s not that one doesn’t feel bad, or that the other wants to be that ‘god’, it’s that he can’t.
Jun Chenyuan can indeed intimidate others by personally marching when the enemy invades, but the Qilin Kingdom is really too fat, and it is getting fatter and fatter, and it is located in the middle. What if there is more than one country that invades?
As an emperor, he can't just split his time between left and right, right? Then he won't be able to make it in time, right?
If we really want to have Qi Bao'er together then, why don't we still want her to be famous?
What’s the meaning?
On the contrary, they were so tired that the border soldiers lost their lives in vain.
Ancestor Xuanqing sighed and patted Qi Baoer's shoulder hard, almost sending Qi Baoer flying out unprepared. Fortunately, Ancestor Xuanqing reacted quickly and pulled him back.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became awkwardly quiet for a moment.
However, Patriarch Xuanqing was old and thick-skinned. Anyway, if he was not embarrassed, the only one who would be embarrassed would be others. He continued to say what he had just planned to say as if nothing had happened.
"It is indeed not easy for such a big country and so many people to support you."
Qi Baoer rolled her eyes without even bothering to roll her eyes. If the words "respect the elderly and love the young" hadn't suddenly appeared in her eyes, she would have fought back so early.
Ancestor Xuanqing sensed the dangerous aura, and his desire for survival came to the fore, so he quickly changed the subject, "Are you planning to go to Suzaku alone? How about I go with you? It won't be easy for me to come back up after I go down.
.”
He, the Ghost Emperor-level Ah Piao, has become a dangerous member of the Heavenly Dao in this world. Unlike the underworld public officials like Black and White, he is uncontrollable, so Heavenly Dao is very repulsive to him.
It's so big that it won't let him come at all.
This time he was able to sneak in a rare opportunity, and Tiandao didn't seem to have any intention of driving him away immediately. Why didn't he help the younger generation more?
Looking at the ancestor who spoke insincerely, Qi Baoer's eyes hurt and he suddenly felt a little confused.
In the past, she only thought about living a carefree life, and at most she wanted to keep her family safe. She even thought about taking her family to find a quiet place to live in seclusion.
When did she start to worry about the country and the people?
Will you care about the national conditions and situations of other countries? Will you worry about the future of Qilin Country? Will you think about and be prepared to nip the danger in the bud because of this worry?
The late emperor seems to have succeeded.
She still unknowingly slipped into the trap set by the late emperor and became the person he hoped to become.
Qi Baoer burst out laughing. After being called a god for so long, she actually regarded herself as the god of the Qilin Kingdom.
However, this feeling doesn't seem bad, at least the 'offerings' outside Prince Xian's palace that have never been cut off in a day prove that what she has done is not worth it.
Speaking of the ‘offerings’ outside Prince Xian’s Mansion, it can be said to be a special scene in the inner city of the capital.
It started when one day the guards found a food basket that was used by ordinary people to eat in their homes next to the stone lions outside the gate.
Many people living in the inner city want to visit Prince Xian, and there are even more people who want to give gifts to Prince Xian.
However, Prince Xian does not accept gifts at will, and even if he accepts a gift, the value of the gift in return will definitely be greater than the value of the gift. This has long been known to everyone.
The purpose of giving gifts was to get entangled, but in the end, they got something more expensive in exchange. This clearly means that Prince Xian’s Mansion does not want to owe any favors and does not want to have deep friendship with them.
Those who lived in the inner city were either officials or wealthy people, they were smart, and they also wanted to have a good face. After knowing what Prince Xian meant, they would naturally not continue on this path, so gradually no one gave gifts to Prince Xian's Mansion anymore.
Except for interpersonal relationships.
So the guards were very surprised when they saw the food basket. They were even more surprised when they opened it and saw a few ordinary steamed buns inside. They were even worried that someone was planning to poison Prince Xian's palace or something.
So the guards called the doctor to check again and opened the bun to see if there was anything stuffed inside. The final result was that it was just an ordinary bun.
Such a trivial matter was not worth alarming the prince. The guards did not even report it to Butler Qi. They just assumed that a servant from some family had accidentally left the food basket there.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, there were two food baskets in the same place again, this time there were two.
When I opened it, I saw that there were still six large buns arranged neatly in one basket, but in the other basket, I saw that there were more than a dozen colorful ropes made of colorful ribbons made by people with poor skills.
It turned out that it was not what they had guessed, but someone had deliberately placed it outside Prince Xian's palace.
The guards quickly informed Butler Qi. At the same time, everyone was curious as to who could send gifts to Prince Xian's Mansion in such a sneaky and careless way, and yet the gifts were so simple.
I hope the housekeeper has a clear mind. When he looked at the contents of the two food baskets, he guessed that they should be sent by the people from the outer city to thank their prince.
Of course, this is not difficult to guess, because people living in the inner city will never give these as gifts.
But no one goes to the outer city. Firstly, people from the outer city generally cannot enter the inner city. To enter the inner city, they need a pass from each government. Secondly, it is such a thing to be thanked by the people for giving gifts. It’s too long to see you all.
Not only have I seen it, but I have never heard of it.
At least I haven't heard of it in the capital.
I hope the housekeeper knows that Qi Baoer doesn't like trouble, and this problem can't last long.
Don't look at just a few buns and a dozen colorful ropes that can be said to be ugly, but what is covered in it is the word "people's hearts", which weighs as much as ten thousand catties.
Once or twice, they could just hide it from their own families. If it were spread everywhere, what would happen to those people who were already afraid of their master?
What worries Butler Qi the most is, will the emperor think that their prince's achievements are so great that he can overwhelm his master?
