Chapter 250 Capital City
Shen Chenli also knew how important it was for them to grow crops at the border, and he also looked at Yu Tingwan.
"Shall I go with you?"
"No need," Yu Tingwan shook his head and said, "There are a lot of things to do in the military camp, I can go by myself."
Seeing her insistence, Shen Chenli did not insist on following her, as he also had something to deal with.
Yu Tingwan followed General Sun to the newly reclaimed land. As soon as they arrived there, they saw neatly arranged rows of greenhouses from afar.
Unlike the common ones today, these sheds were covered with cowhide and various types of hay.
The two entered the greenhouse, and Yu Tingwan saw the problem at a glance.
He frowned and looked at General Sun beside him.
"General Sun, the land is too dry."
If we do this, I'm afraid only grass will grow.
Hearing this, General Sun also covered his head in worry.
"We watered it once before planting the seeds and again after planting. This land cannot be watered too much, or the seeds will get soaked."
This has led to the current situation.
Yu Tingwan looked at these seeds and thought that if they were just left alone, they would really be wasted.
"General Sun, I will go back and develop some potions. I will have someone bring them here later. When the time comes, have someone add water to them and water them in these greenhouses."
Afterwards, the two went to check out the conditions in other greenhouses, and found that they were basically the same.
In these greenhouses, Yu Tingwan planted corn, wheat, and dry rice, as well as foods that could fill the stomach such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and crops such as hemp and cotton that could keep warm. As for rice, she didn't want to think about it anymore and would plan it slowly later.
But this is not enough. Yu Tingwan walked out of the greenhouse and looked to the other side. How can we fight a war by only eating wheat and rice?
A balanced diet requires meat, eggs and milk!
It seems she needs to find help as soon as possible.
"Yes, princess."
Yu Tingwan turned to look at General Sun beside him, and saw him saying with great interest:
"Princess, we soldiers have been guarding the fields lately, and sometimes we feel uncomfortable. Recently, a few generals suggested to us that we could raise some chicks while watching over the seeds?"
"Of course!" Yu Tingwan pointed to the open space.
"To be honest, General Sun, I was just thinking, even though we have arranged the seeds, we can't just eat rice, we have to arrange the meat as well! How about on that piece of land?"
General Sun nodded repeatedly. Of course it was possible. If they could be self-sufficient, maybe they wouldn't have to be controlled by the imperial court.
Suddenly, General Sun looked at Yu Tingwan in stunned gaze.
Yes, if I can think of it, how could the prince and princess not think of it?
So what the princess is doing now...
General Sun's eyes suddenly lit up, full of excitement. He said, how could such a powerful person like the prince be trapped here and be manipulated by others!
Yu Tingwan's next words completely confirmed General Sun's guess.
"General Sun, you soldiers will have to go to the battlefield sooner or later. We can't let you be trapped here and keep farming."
Yu Tingwan looked at General Sun's bright eyes and smiled slightly.
"So, if we let the families of the soldiers come to the border to take care of the land and cattle and sheep, and the retired soldiers guard here, and find some sisters-in-law with good craftsmanship to make uniforms for our army, do you think this will work?"
"well!!"
General Sun roared, so excited that he could hardly speak.
This roar made the soldiers working inside lift up the curtains and stick their heads out. They all looked over here, wanting to see what had happened to their general.
General Sun noticed the gazes around him and suddenly turned to look at them.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you get back to work?"
Rows of heads shrank back at once, making Yu Tingwan want to laugh.
When Yu Tingwan returned to the military camp, she immediately told Shen Chenli about her previous plan.
"Then we and the soldiers won't have to worry about anything. After all, no one knows what the mad emperor will do."
Shen Chenli also nodded in agreement.
"I'll take care of all this, and bring my grandparents and mother over as well."
"I think the Jiang Mansion is now under the Emperor's surveillance."
Indeed, the emperor sent people to secretly monitor the Jiang Mansion after Shen Chenli and others left the capital.
But what they didn't expect was that while they were monitoring the Jiang Mansion, someone was also secretly watching them.
"Hey, why are these people so stunned? They said they were staring at the Jiang Mansion, so why are they staring at it like this?"
An San and An Er were squatting on a big tree outside the Jiang Mansion, looking at the emperor's men on the big tree who were staring at the Jiang Mansion intently.
An San glanced at him and said nothing.
He also didn't expect that the person guarding the Jiang Mansion was this guy. He had been on missions in other places before, but now he is back.
"Hey, talking to you?"
"Shut up!"
An Er curled his lips, what a fool!
An Er felt very sad when he thought that the person who went to the princess was not him. He heard that they did a lot of things for the princess, but it was a pity that he was out on a mission.
However, looking at the Jiang residence below, An Er thought that maybe after he sent the Jiang family to the border, he could ask the princess to let him stay?
At the Jiang Mansion, everyone in the Jiang family had not rested yet. They all came to the study in Grand Tutor Jiang's courtyard. Even Jiang Qingxun and Ji Yunhui were there.
Master Jiang held the envelope in his hand, his eyes filled with heaviness.
"Grandfather, the emperor is simply crazy!"
Thinking of the contents of the letter, they found it hard to believe. Was this still the emperor who was relatively humane as before?
Now he actually believed the words of that Taoist priest so easily, and now he even made up a lame excuse that Prince Chen was planning a rebellion? He also wanted to carry Concubine Duanjin out of the imperial mausoleum?
Is he crazy?
Such a thing is simply treason!
Master Jiang looked at the angry Jiang Qingxun, shook his head slightly and sighed.
Even the most foolish person in their family was so angry, which was enough to show how ridiculous the emperor's behavior was.
"The coffin of Concubine Duanjin has not been found yet?"
Jiang Hongyi shook his head, "No, the emperor is already panicking."
"Could it be that Concubine Duanjin really appeared in spirit? Is she dissatisfied with the emperor's actions?"
Hearing this, everyone looked over and felt helpless at the naive Jiang Qingxun.
How come their Jiang family produced such a fool?
"Mr. Jiang, you are joking. The dead cannot be resurrected. There must be other circumstances. But now we can use this to cause some trouble for the emperor, and he won't have to keep an eye on us."
After Ji Yunhui said this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing Jiang Wanyun's gaze, Ji Yunhui unconsciously sat up straighter and looked at everyone as they began to analyze the current situation.
"Now is a good opportunity for us. The emperor wants to frame Prince Chen, but he doesn't know that not all people in this world are fools. We can also use the matter of Concubine Duanjin to question the emperor whether he is targeting Prince Chen and even the deceased concubine!"
