Chapter 128 Imperial Proclamation
These people were still living in fear, afraid of being retaliated against by Xia Ye.

As it turned out, Xia Ye couldn't remember any of these people at all.

After staying at home for a while, he received an imperial decree to serve as the river governor in another place.
-
Although a flood did not occur in Cheng'an Prefecture, it did rain for a full half month.

As a result, the rice seedlings planted by the people were all drowned.

Now that the rain has stopped, the timing isn't quite right to plant again.

But if we don't plant them, where will the food come from?

If we were to buy it, it would cost a lot of money.

Most families are already struggling financially and can't save much money over the course of a year.

Now we have to spend money to buy food, and we can't even make ends meet.

Xia Ye reported the same situation upon his return.

He arranged for people to distribute porridge there for disaster relief, but it didn't have much effect.

"Are there any grains that can be grown all year round? And how many are there in such a bright place?"

and also……

Emperor Xuanhe knew from a booklet given to him by his young aunt, which recorded the natural disasters that had occurred during the Great Celebrations of the past ten years, that a snow disaster would occur at the end of this year.

The damage caused by that snow disaster was no less than that caused by the floods in Cheng'an Prefecture.

"How should we deal with this snow disaster?"

The worst thing about snow disasters is that people freeze to death.

Even the most important thing is to keep people warm.

The only way Emperor Xuanhe could think of to keep warm was with charcoal.

However, there isn't much carbon, and even charcoal, which doesn't provide much insulation, is extremely rare.

"If only we could discover coal mines and come up with new ways to keep warm," Emperor Xuanhe murmured.

He really wanted to ask the little princess if there was any way to help.

However, the little princess has already helped him a lot, and she has held almost nothing back from him, giving him anything good she has.

Since it hasn't been given out, it probably isn't.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Xuanhe said, "Liu De, bring me the imperial edict."

Soon, Liu De brought over a blank imperial edict, and Emperor Xuanhe picked up a brush and began to write on it.

"Post this imperial edict throughout Daqing as soon as possible."

"Yes."

As Emperor Xuanhe watched Liu De's departing figure, he thought: If he himself can't figure it out, even if all the people of Daqing put their heads together, there should be one or two people who can.

Anyone who can contribute a new type of grain that can be grown year-round, or anyone who can come up with a new way to keep warm that is suitable for ordinary people, will be contributing to Daqing and will be richly rewarded.

Soon, the imperial edict was posted.

In fact, Emperor Xuanhe had previously ordered similar imperial edicts to be posted.

People like Ye Chen emerged back then, but the current imperial edict is even more targeted.

We need food, and we need something to keep us warm.

Although no one could think of anything for the time being, the reward was really tempting.

The reward of gold and silver is secondary; there's even a chance of becoming an official.

In Huangzhuang, Chen Hehua's life has improved since Sui Sui rescued her.

First of all, the wealthy man Zhang never came again.

Secondly, there is Chen Hehua, who is now in charge of the rice seedlings in Princess Fuqing's field, and she takes great care of them every day.

Because she also composted the fertilizer, the seedlings grew better than the other seedlings her father had grown.

It needs to be taller and denser.

Lotus always remembered Princess Fuqing's kindness, and she was determined to grow the best and most abundant grain for Princess Fuqing.

Today, Hehua is still busy in the fields. She had just finished and returned when she heard villagers discussing the imperial edict.

Chen Hehua wasn't particularly interested in these things before; after all, royal affairs didn't have much to do with ordinary people like them.

But ever since Princess Fuqing rescued him.

Chen Hehua paid more attention to matters concerning the royal family.

So today, when she heard the villagers discussing the imperial edict, she stopped and listened carefully.

Upon hearing this, she immediately understood what the imperial edict was about.

It turns out that His Majesty wants high-yield grain that can be grown all year round.

There are also new warm items.

Chen Hehua's eyes lit up after hearing this.

She didn't have any new warm clothes.

But she has this high-yield plant that can be grown all year round.

These are the sweet potatoes she found in the mountains!

Chen Hehua found the sweet potatoes by chance in the mountains two years ago. Later, she discovered that they were edible, but since she didn't have any land at home to grow them, she decided to plant them.

Chen Hehua planted it in the mountains.

She didn't know how to plant it, so she relied on her intuition and cut off a small piece to plant.

As a result, the sweet potatoes grew within a few months.

And after pulling them out, we found there were still a lot left.

Later, she also told her family about the sweet potatoes.

I also want to share it with other people in the village.

However, the family members ate it, but didn't share it.

Her father said this at the time: "Lotus, this sweet potato is something I've never had before. Even if you're sure it's safe to eat, others aren't. What if someone listens to you and eats it, and something happens to them?"

Because of her father's words, the sweet potato was not shared.

Only their family knows.

For the past two years, their family has eaten sweet potatoes almost every day. These sweet potatoes are sweet and filling, and they have a high yield. The only downside is that if you eat too many, you'll fart.

However, this drawback is almost negligible.

Therefore, Chen Hehua was certain that there was nothing wrong with the sweet potato.

Now, His Majesty needs it, and Chen Hehua thought she should offer this sweet potato to him.

She knew that it must be because people in some places needed food that His Majesty posted the imperial edict.

She thought that by helping the Emperor, she was also helping Princess Fuqing.

Therefore, Chen Hehua wanted to do this.

After listening to her, Chen Hehua went home and told her family about her decision when the whole family gathered that evening, wanting to hear their opinions.

“I also saw the imperial edict. The sweet potatoes that Lotus found do indeed meet the requirements.”

"We've been eating these sweet potatoes for two years now, so there shouldn't be any problems. Let's offer them up."

"Yes, yes, if we present it to the emperor and he is satisfied, we might even receive a reward."

Almost all the family members agreed.

Since her family agreed, Chen Hehua no longer hesitated.

So the next day, Chen Hehua went to the imperial estate and found the eunuch in charge of it. She said that she had a high yield of grain that could be grown all year round and wanted to offer it to Princess Fuqing. She also wanted to meet Princess Fuqing.

The eunuch who managed the imperial estate had an impression of Chen Hehua.

Moreover, before leaving, Princess Fuqing specifically instructed him to treat Chen Hehua well and to try his best to meet any needs she might have.
