Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress - Chapter 1887 New Palace Maid (2)

“Ahem, Yi, what do you think about what Ning Huaixiu said about the drought in two years?”

Caiwei changed the man’s topic and moved his attention to a more serious topic.

This topic was so good that it really made the man serious. He said: “I don’t have a good solution for this. What I can do now is to buy as much grain as possible, build water conservancy projects, and save it for waiting for drought.” When the outbreak occurred, we irrigated farmland, and then ordered people to plant drought-resistant foods, such as millet, millet, buckwheat, soybeans, and pumpkins. We also ordered people to improve crops and farming techniques. In short, we made every effort to fight the drought.”

Caiwei felt that Nangong Yi had thought very carefully, but after thinking about it, she said, “Corn is a drought-tolerant plant. You can let the people plant more of it. Even if there is a drought, the people will be able to harvest more. It is much better than countless particles.  ”

At this time, corn was already a crop in the Jin Kingdom, but most of it was grown by northerners and had not been popularized. Many people in the south had never heard of corn.

Caiwei’s space has been growing corn all year round. Because corn tastes sweet and is very nutritious, it has many effects such as calming the liver, promoting gallbladder, nourishing the lungs, calming the heart, and stimulating the appetite, so Caiwei likes it very much. Nangong Yi also often eats corn porridge and tortillas made by Caiwei in the space. He is very familiar with corn, but he doesn’t know much about its drought tolerance.

However, he believed in Caiwei and nodded: “From next year, I will order nationwide promotion, starting with the severely affected areas. When the disaster hits, I will also force the people to plant corn.”

“Well, I will try my best to grow more corn in the space and prepare as many seeds as possible for the people.”

Caiwei decided that starting from today, she would not plant flowers and grass in the space for the time being. Instead, she would plant drought-resistant crops and save them for the people to make seeds for next year. Although it would affect the business of Mi Fangzhai, for the sake of the people, she would make less money. The money is also worth it.

However, these alone are not enough.

She thought for a while and then said: “This time the earth dragon has turned over, the treasury is already empty, and I don’t have much money here. If I overhaul the water conservancy and collect grain, I’m afraid it won’t be enough. So, I think it’s better to put my previous plan aside.” Hurry up and put it on your agenda.”

The plan she mentioned is to send people to various countries to do business and sell the treasures in her space. Although the space is not large, there are really many treasures in it. If it is sold, plus the national tax income of the past two years , coping with the severe drought in two years’ time should not be a problem.

After hearing this, Nangong Yi held Cai Wei in his arms and sighed: “Weier, if I hadn’t met you, I really don’t know what my life would have been like. You have been helping me all these years.” , this time not only will I hug your thigh, but my people will also follow me and hug your thigh.”

Caiwei chuckled and said, “What else can I do? I just marry Li Ruizhu as my wife, and Ning Huaixiu, He Lanna, Luo Xue and others as my concubines. Maybe I even marry that Tuo Tuo. Oops… Hahahaha… “

Before she could finish speaking, the man’s hand hugging her suddenly put it under her armpit, and it squeaked in punishment. Caiwei regretted it to death. She blamed herself for being short-tempered, and now she had to laugh half to death again. She laughed loudly. Begging for mercy again and again.

“I won’t say it anymore…hahahaha…oh, I don’t dare anymore…hahahaha…”

…

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here. On New Year’s Day, several happy events happened in the palace: Xiaozhi, Huanqiu and Chunliu, the eldest maids in the palace, all got married, respectively to Mo Liancheng, the shopkeeper of Yishan Hall, and Nangong Yi. Zhui Feng, the bodyguard of Er, and Zhu Er from Bafu Restaurant.
