Li San hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the road to the frontier is difficult and dangerous. Fortunately, our team has marching experience, so we arrived at the frontier on time.
After arriving at the border, we mobilized the people to plant cotton. At first they were unwilling to plant it, saying what was the use of growing so much cotton?
And can't eat it.
Later, I used the princess' method. I sent people to buy cotton at a high price. As soon as the farmers heard that cotton was so valuable, they wanted to plant it one after another without me saying anything.
They have decided that once spring starts, they will plant a lot of cotton."
"real?
That’s great! As long as they are willing to plant it!”
Chu Xuanchen said happily.
Yun Ruoyue also said happily: "If they plant in spring, they can harvest cotton in October.
Then this winter we can make cotton-padded clothes and quilts, which can first solve the problem of keeping out the cold for some people.
When there is more cotton in the future, people across the country will no longer suffer from the cold!"
"Princess, not only that, I also bought some corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes when I traveled to a small border country.
I heard you said that these plants have a high yield, so I bought them all! But because they were so rare, I only bought a few bags in total!"
Li San said excitedly.
Yun Ruoyue was very excited when she heard this. She hurriedly said: "That's great! Li San, you are so awesome. It doesn't matter how young you are, what's important is that you have it!"
As she said that, she looked at Chu Xuanchen and said: "Your Majesty, send someone to call Tian Li, and I will teach him how to grow these plants.
Although there are few seeds now, as long as we plant slowly, the output will definitely increase in the future, and people will no longer be hungry!"
Chu Xuanchen chuckled and said, "Okay, let's start planting at Prince Li's farm first, and expand the area when there are more seeds next year."
"Well, these seeds are very precious. You must ask someone to guard them and make sure they are not destroyed by animals.
In case someone causes trouble, we have to keep it secret until we have results."
Yun Ruoyue Road.
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Okay, I will send someone to handle it immediately."
Then, Li San took Yun Ruoyue to see the things he bought. When Yun Ruoyue saw the familiar corn and potatoes, she was very happy.
These plants are common in modern times, but are rare here.
However, their yield is very high and they are easy to survive, so she believes that it will not be long before they grow all over the land of Chu and become a staple food for the people.

Ever since King Zhao was placed in the important position of Emperor Hongyuan, he has become more and more aggressive.
The emperor not only appreciated King Zhao, but also cared about Chu Zian. He often asked King Zhao about Chu Zian's situation. When King Zhao saw this, he knew that the emperor cared about the royal heir.
He never imagined that he would gain the emperor's favor with this annoying child, so he often sent things to Su Changxiao and Chu Zian, and began to care about them.
And he was able to get the support of these ministers thanks to Su Changxiao.
So whenever he had time, he would go to the Red Buddha Temple to see the mother and son in person.
King Zhao would not only visit Su Changxiao, but also eat with her and take care of the children with her.
Su Changxiao never dreamed that King Zhao would care about them so much.
With King Zhao around, she often held her child and giggled, like a gentle mother. Only then did she realize that she was so happy to be with her husband and children.
Only then did she feel the joy of being a mother, and she finally lived a good life through Zian!
