After Lizheng left, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and nodded. Then, Xue Yan continued to practice martial arts.
Jiang Yue, on the other hand, took care of Xue Shi.
He was going to be one year old soon. It was said that children could walk at the age of one, but he learned to walk earlier than an average baby. However, he still had to hold onto something to walk. If he did not hold onto something, he would fall after a few steps and sit on the ground.
At this moment, he was practicing to walk again. His two small hands were holding onto a long bamboo pole fixed to the side of the courtyard wall as he waddled. He slowly walked back and forth along the length of the bamboo pole.
Perhaps it was because he thought it was fun walking around. He always turned his head to look at Xue Yan, showing off that he could do the same as him.
As for the matter of clearing the land, she and Xue Yan both knew that everyone’s enthusiasm would be even higher in the future once they sold enough of their crops to make a living.
It was not like before when everyone thought that they could sell one acre for two silver. With one more way to earn money, it felt like a one-time deal that they wouldn’t want to miss out on. Now, the barren land could produce a high yield and have a good harvest. The land could be planted year after year and could be pa.s.sed on to future generations. It was much better than selling one acre for two taels of silver. At the same time, it gave people more hope and made them want to work harder for their future. Everyone was happy and enthusiastic.
Now that Lizheng had shared the news, it was estimated that in the next few days, the Zhu Village where Laicai and Xiuhua lived would also come to talk about this matter.
Since this had already spread, it would spread even more in the future. More and more people would start doing the same.
As a result, more and more people would open up barren land and plant their seeds, and more and more people would go to the seed shop in town to buy seeds. This would be good economic growth for their village.
Originally, she had thought of exchanging seeds for other seed shops, but because it was far away, it wasn’t as convenient as doing it in town. Later on, she found out that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince, with his status, he could help her change seeds more conveniently. Emperor Hao wanted to abdicate in advance. That was even better. Therefore, she changed her mind and did not go through the trouble of changing the seeds for the other shops.
Her current plan was to wait for Xue Yan to succeed to the throne. She would tell Xue Yan to issue an edict directly to the national treasury to purchase all the seed shops in Da Ling at a high price, including the seed shop in Pingan Town. Then, the country would distribute the seeds to the seed shops in various places. That way, as long as the commoners from other areas bought the seeds and planted them at home, they would have high-yield seeds.
This way, not only would she not have to worry about any shop that sold seeds taking the opportunity to raise the price, but it would also be extremely convenient for her to exchange seeds. She could exchange a large number of seeds at once.
If she didn’t have to worry about taking too many seeds out of the s.p.a.ce, improper storage, and the possibility of it turning moldy, what was the harm in exchanging seeds that could last the entire Da Ling for 20, 30, or even 100 years?
However, once the seeds were out of s.p.a.ce, there would be no magical way to maintain them. At that time, it was better to exchange seeds annually to maintain their freshness.
It was not troublesome to change it once a year.
All she had to do was to wait for Xue Yan to ascend the throne.
For the time being, she would only exchange seeds for the seed shop in town.
Just as Jiang Yue thought of this, she heard the sound of a carriage accompanied by crying.
It seemed that Shen Yuxuan was the one crying.
She and Xue Yan met Shen Yuxuan yesterday. Logically speaking, Shen Yuxuan would not come today. Moreover, he came crying. There must be something big that happened…
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan immediately looked at each other.
Xue Yan had also heard it.
Then, the two of them hurried out of the courtyard to see what was going on.
Qi Yin naturally helped to look after Xue Shi.
