Chapter 219 Shocked
Xiao Jing felt that what Yuan Chu said was reasonable, so he followed her advice.
"Then listen to Madam! Then, if possible, Shiliu and Shitou should go to the school opened by my mentor! But my mentor has very strict examinations for accepting disciples. I don't know if you two boys can pass by then!"
Sixteen scratched his head, "I will definitely work hard."
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked at Xiao Jing with curiosity, "Didn't you study in the Imperial College when you were a child?"
Xiao Jing smiled and shook his head, "When I was a child, I studied in Wenhua Hall with the princes." He paused, "But the mentor I am talking about is not the tutors of Wenhua Hall, he is my father He hired me as a personal trainer. I went to the battlefield when I was sixteen, and I was lucky enough to have him accompany me and be my military advisor. Only then can I be invincible and invincible!"
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he cast an admiring look at him, "The prince will be even more powerful with the help of military advisors!"
"That's right!" Xiao Jing was high-spirited and happy, but then the smile on his face disappeared and he sighed, "It wasn't until I was twenty years old that after two months of fierce battle with Beidi, Beidi was finally defeated. They sent a large number of assassins to assassinate them before withdrawing their troops. My mentor was seriously injured in the assassination. After moving the troops back to the court, I no longer allowed him to accompany me in the north and south, and allowed him to live a long life in the house. Unexpectedly, he did not Ken, moved out with his two senior brothers, and opened a private school to teach students who he thought had enlightenment and spiritual roots."
"The old gentleman can be described as a Confucian scholar with both literary and military skills and both political integrity and talent. I'm afraid there are not many students who can get his teachings!"
"So, if you want to be his disciple, you have to go through many tests and pass it before you can enter the disciple!" Xiao Jing said with a smile, "Let's take the stone to play around in the capital for the next two days. I will take my wife and children to visit my mentor in two days, and then mention this matter to him to see what he thinks. If possible, Mo Chen will also go and have a look!"
"Yes!" Yuan Mochen was surprised and happy, and responded hurriedly. If he could become a disciple of this great scholar, he would definitely benefit a lot.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Shiliu smiled happily.
"We are a family, no need to be polite!"
After arranging everything, Yuan Mochen was afraid of disturbing Yuan Chuyi's rest, so he quickly took Fifteen and Sixteen and the others back home. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I saw that it was getting late, so I quickly put away the things that the nobles in the palace had rewarded and put them into the warehouse. I also took off the hairpins I wore this morning and put them away, ready to put them back. Go in the box.
Two maids put on her makeup this morning. They were more familiar with the dressing table and jewelry box than she was. Now she wants to put these jewelry into the box, but she doesn't know which layer to put them on. She had no choice but to open the jewelry box layer by layer and look at it.
The jewelry box is made of the same rosewood as the other furniture in the house. It is square and large.
She opened the lid of the box and was immediately stunned by the jewelry on the top. There are fifty grids on the top floor, and each grid contains exquisite and unique hairpins, hairpins, earrings and other common accessories. She opened the second layer and found all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous necklaces, bracelets and other items. Looking at the lower layers, there were several complete sets of headdresses.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I sell all these exquisite and precious jewelry, I will definitely be a multi-millionaire!" Yuan Chuyi said with emotion.
"Sell it!" Xiao Jing happened to come in from outside. He heard all her words. He stepped forward and hugged her from behind. "Do you like these things, madam, or are you still short of money?"
Yuan Chuyi turned to look at him and smiled brightly, "There are so many jewelry, just a sigh of relief! Your Majesty, you have taken the trouble!"
Xiao Jing took out a bunch of keys and waved them in front of her, then put them in her hand, "All the keys to the warehouse in the house have been given to Madam. From now on, Madam Lao will take care of all the household affairs!"
Yuan Chuyi looked at the heavy bunch of keys and said, "So many!"
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, let Uncle Quan help you get familiar with it slowly!" He kissed his red lips, "Prince Yu is looking for me. I'll go out for a while and come back later to have dinner with you. You have a good rest first!" "
Yuanchu nodded, sent him away, put the jewelry away, climbed into bed, and fell asleep soon.
The next day.
After Xiao Jing finished the morning court, he took Yuan Chuyi to the hot spring farm in the suburbs. The farm is not very far from the capital. It takes nearly three-quarters of an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage after leaving Jingdong City Gate.
The fields in the farm are vast and flat. If you look around, there must be at least seventeen or eight hectares of land! The houses and farmhouses in the village are neatly arranged. Chickens and dogs on the village can hear each other, and the streets are connected with each other.
When Yuan Chu first looked at the farm, he quickly fell in love with it.
The leader of the village, who was in his forties, led a group of villagers out to greet the new master.
"No need to be polite!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile, and asked Zhuangtou to lead her and Xiao Jing for a walk around the village, but they couldn't finish the walk. They could only ask Zhuangtou to take out the topographic map of the village for her to look at. After looking at the topographic map, she had a general understanding of the entire farm, and she had an idea of where to plant what.
"Princess, may I ask what you want to plant in the field?" Zhuangtou asked tentatively. He wanted to see if the new master knew anything about farming.
"We will continue to grow rice in the paddy fields, but we have to use the new varieties I brought back. Now that the mulberry seedlings have been planted in this land, we can continue to plant mulberries and raise silkworms. In this dry land, we can grow corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes and other crops. . This piece of dry land has long sunshine hours and is suitable for growing cotton. This piece of land is soft and suitable for growing strawberries. This piece of land is suitable for planting various seasonal vegetables. This piece of pond is sorted out to raise fish, ducks and geese. A piece of sloping land is opened up and planted. On the fruit trees..."
Zhuangtou couldn't help being shocked by Yuan Chuyi's arrangements.
Those ponds and slopes were originally left uncultivated. The previous owners didn't say anything and no one was willing to take care of them. Unexpectedly, this new master, even though she was a queen, knew that she would ask them all to reclaim and use these wastelands.
He thought that the princess didn't understand these things in the fields, but he didn't expect that she was smarter than him.
However, even so, Zhuangtou was still hesitant about planting those new crops.
"Mother, can these crops you mentioned really survive in our kind?"
"Of course, as long as you plant them as told, you will definitely survive!" Yuan Chuyi gave him an affirmative answer.
After she made arrangements for everything to be planted in the eighteen hectares of land, she asked Zhuangtou to take her and Xiao Jing to visit some hot springs.
Five hot springs of different sizes have been developed. Not only have the paved sides of the hot spring pool been paved, but also several pavilions and wooden houses have been built, but the road has not yet been repaired. It seems that the original development was shelved halfway through.
"Pave these roads with cobblestones!" Yuan Chuyi pointed at the road and ordered to Zhuangtou.
"Yes." Zhuangtou recorded all these matters in his notebook to avoid missing them.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he saw a piece of idle land not far from the Tangquan Pond. He immediately pointed to it and ordered the head of Fenzhuang: "Dig those lowlands and make lotus ponds. I will bring the lotus seeds when the time comes!"
"Yes!" Zhuangtou responded. He was really glad that he didn't deliberately make things difficult for his new master.
