spend time

Chen Jinyu came over with Song Yuan's letter with a smile on his face.

Commander Song left for more than two months without any news. Not to mention the princess, even Chen Jinyu was secretly worried.

It’s not easy to go out these days. Even if Commander Song and his group of guards were very skilled, they would inevitably encounter some accidents.

A letter finally came today. Chen Sheren's eyebrows were filled with joy, and even the princess, who had always been calm and self-possessed, laughed happily: "Bring it over quickly."

Jiang Shaohua quickly opened the letter and read it eagerly.

Be as trustworthy as the person you are. Song Yuan was silent and spoke little, and his letters were concise and to the point. It was a rare occasion when I came back from delivering a letter, but I only wrote half a page and read it all in one glance.

Chen Jinyu looked forward to it: "How is it? Did Commander Song and the others find new grain seeds?"

Jiang Shaohua's eyes were full of smiles and he nodded vigorously: "I found it. The group's journey was quite smooth. They arrived in Nanhai County in a month, and then waited at the Nanhai County pier for a month. Finally, they waited for corn on a sea ship. And sweet potato seeds. Commander Song bought all these grain seeds and loaded them into three carriages."

"Commander Song sent someone to send a letter back. Firstly, he told me the good news. Secondly, the carriage was moving slowly on the road, and he might not be able to come back in time before the end of the year. We just have to follow patiently."

Chen Jinyu was so happy that she clenched her fists and cheered.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and ordered: "Go and invite Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi to come. I want to tell them about this happy event."

Chen Jinyu responded and left the inner hall. Ma Yaozong quickly came over and said, "What orders does the princess have? I'm here to run errands."

Ma Yaozong was quick at running things and was smart and tactful. He always gave way to Chen Jinyu and rushed to get the work he needed to run errands.

After getting along for several months, Chen Jinyu became more and more familiar with him, and there was no way he could feel disgusted with him. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "The princess is meeting with Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi."

Ma Yaozong nodded and quickly went to deliver the message.

The end of the year is the busiest time. Chen Changshi had to write letters to deliver New Year's gifts to officials with contacts in the capital, and make assessments and filings for officials in the fourteen counties, and several officials around him were busy at the same time. Feng Changshi wants to count the accounts for the past year.

After hearing the princess' summons, the two of them put down their errands and came together.

Jiang Shaohua and Yan Yuese were in a great mood: "This is a letter from Commander Song. Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi will all read it."

When Chen Zhuo read the letter, Feng Wenming couldn't restrain his eagerness and leaned his head directly over.

Jiang Shaohua saw this and found it interesting. He looked at Chen Jinyu in amusement.

In this life, it is really a blessing to have a close friend whom you have known since childhood and have been with you for decades.

"Commander Song has made great achievements this time!" Chen Zhuo frowned and smiled heartily.

"The first credit goes to Mr. Cui." Feng Changshi was full of energy and answered with a smile: "When the new grain varieties are brought back, Mr. Cui will have to work hard to cultivate and promote the new grain varieties. If it is true as Mr. Cui said In that way, one acre of land can produce twenty dan of grain, even if it is cut in half, it can produce ten dan of new grain. The annual grain production of the fourteen counties in Nanyang County can be doubled."

"It's not difficult to save enough food for three years."

"When the time comes, the princess must reward Mr. Cui heavily."

Speaking of which, Cui Du has not returned to the palace for more than a month. The princess selected a hundred personal guards and family members to go to the farm. Cui Du not only had to take care of the greenhouse, but also was busy building a new greenhouse. He wished he could eat and live in the farm.

The princess, on the other hand, would visit and inspect the farm every half month.

Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "I know this matter well. Don't worry now, wait for the new grain seeds to be shipped back, and try planting them for a year to see how the harvest is."

Chen Zhuo immediately said: "For this good news, we must first send someone to send a good news to Mr. Cui."

Therefore, people who are capable and capable will always be looked down upon. When Cui Du first came to the palace, he was a little mute of unknown origin. After more than half a year, even Chen Changshi has to respectfully call him Mr. Cui.

Jiang Shaohua smiled: "The two Japanese princesses have nothing to do, so they happened to go to the farm in person."

Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi, who were so busy that they wanted to break themselves in half for use, twitched the corners of their mouths involuntarily after hearing these words.

……

The next day, Jiang Shaohua rode to the farm.

The cold wind in winter was biting, and the thick red cloak was blown up by the cold wind and fluttered in the wind. From a distance, it looks like flowers blooming in winter.

Chen She's people, horses and people all came, and dozens of soldiers accompanied them.

"Master Cui, the princess is here."

Cui Du, who was busy in the greenhouse, immediately stood up and jumped out of the greenhouse when he heard the word princess. As quick as a frightened rabbit.

Jiang Shaohua stood outside the greenhouse with a smile, looking at Cui Du who had beads of sweat on his forehead: "It's very cold outside, but you are warm in the greenhouse, you are sweating."

Cui Du grinned: "The princess ran all the way on horseback and went to the greenhouse to stay for a while. It was very warm."

Jiang Shaohua hummed and entered the greenhouse with Cui Du.

Chen Jinyu made a habit of following him.

Ma Yaozong coughed and suggested in a low voice: "Chen Sheren, a greenhouse is being built over there. How about we go take a look?"

Chen Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood and nodded.

As for the personal guards such as Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao, they naturally couldn't stay too far away and each retreated seven or eight meters. Guards surrounded the greenhouse.

Meng Sanbao winked at Qin Hu and nuzzled at the greenhouse.

Qin Hu rolled his eyes and made a gesture to shut up.

You can't blame them for overthinking.

The princess may seem easy-going, but in fact, there are only a few people who can catch the eye of the princess. On weekdays, the princess's closest companion is Chen Sheren. They are both girls' families, and they are childhood playmates. It is normal for them to be close to each other.

How long has this Cui Du been here? Counting it from beginning to end, it’s less than ten months! The princess was very fond of him, and every time they met, they would spend a long time alone...

In fact, the young man and woman in the greenhouse, six feet apart, were talking about business, and there was nothing inhumane about it.

"The vegetables in the greenhouse are more than enough to supply the palace on weekdays." Cui Du said with a smile: "The rest are sent to the guard camp."

Seventy percent of the vegetables in the greenhouse were sent to the Guards Camp.

There are 1,800 strong men in the guard camp... No, in the past few months, guards have been secretly recruited, and this number has increased by at least three to four hundred. The stomachs of so many people are like huge funnels, and the amount of food consumed every month is a very astonishing figure.

Raising an army is never easy. The Nanyang Palace can afford to maintain so many soldiers, thanks to the silver mines in Bowang County.

This is also a very confidential matter in the palace, and no more than five people know about it.

Jiang Shaohua didn't tell Cui Du, and Cui Du never thought about it. He only worked silently, hoping to relieve the princess from her worries.
