More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 40 Auspicious!This is auspicious!

As time passed day by day, the bellies of Mu Zixuan's three daughters became bigger and bigger, and soon it was time to give birth.

Ever since the news came out from Beijun that King Bei was assassinated by Xueyue Tower and then rescued by the mysterious master, Beijun suddenly became much more stable.

This made some forces realize that the mysterious master next to King Bei would probably follow him all the time to protect King Bei.

Although Bei Wang is trash, the mysterious master next to Bei Wang is not a vegetarian.

The Eighth Prince also did not continue to send people to assassinate Lu Chen because of Emperor Xia's warning, but asked Wang Qingci to continue to monitor Lu Chen in Beijun, and to tell him immediately if he found any contact between the Northern King and the Chu family.

In the past few months, Lu Chen has not been busy dealing with the affairs of Beijun, which is still managed by Li Rui, the sheriff.

However, Lu Chen had someone measure the land of the palace, and then asked the people to open up wasteland, and planted all [-] catties of breeding potatoes.

There is a lot of wasteland in Beijun, and not many people pay attention to the matter of measuring land and opening up wasteland in Beiwangfu.

These days, Lu Chen has been staying with Mu Zixuan and the three of them in the palace. The three of them are about to give birth, so Lu Chen takes extra care of them, for fear that something will happen to them.

At this time, Lu Chen gently stroked Mu Zixuan's swollen belly, and then said with a smile: "My concubine, you can leave the property of the palace to Aunt Chu for the time being, and then you can wait for the delivery with peace of mind." Now, don’t worry about those things for now.”

In the past few months, Mu Zixuan has expanded the soap industry and perfume industry hundreds of times. Now the entire Daxia Dynasty, whether it is high-ranking officials or nobles or ordinary people, are using the perfume and soap produced by their palace.

Although these two things are more profitable, but because they are the properties of the Northern King, and because Mu Changtian is watching over the Northern King's Mansion in the capital, no one dares to make any plans for these two industries for the time being.

What surprised Lu Chen the most was that Mu Zixuan seemed to be a very business-minded person. She also combined perfume and soap to make a product called soap.

Of course, this is not a simple combination, the soap is modified and can be used for bathing.

The palace has these industries, and they can reap several 10 taels of silver every month, and Mu Zixuan is still actively exploring business routes, and she plans to sell these things to other countries.

It's a pity that as her belly grew day by day, her energy became worse and worse, and she felt sleepy every day. Now she was completely unable to take care of the property of the palace.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan said: "Well, I have asked someone to transfer all the books of the Wangfu to Aunt Chu. Aunt Chu has been familiar with the properties of the Wangfu these days."

Although Chu Yuqin can't be regarded as a member of the Northern Palace now, everyone in the Palace trusts her and knows that she will be Lu Chen's woman sooner or later.

Let her take care of the property of the palace, and people are not worried about what will happen.

At this moment, the servant girl Xiao Rou entered the room and said in a low voice, "My lord, General Li is looking for you and says he has something important to do."

Hearing this, Lu Chen stroked Mu Zixuan's cheek, and then said: "My concubine, I have to go out beforehand, you lie down properly."

Mu Zixuan smiled and said: "Well, the prince can go to work."

Lu Chen immediately got up and walked towards the training ground.

After seeing Li Feng, before Li Feng saluted, Lu Chen asked, "General Li, what do you want from me?"

Li Feng quickly replied: "My lord, good news, the soil you asked us to plant... soil..."

Speaking of this, Li Feng thought for a while, and then immediately said: "Oh, yes, potatoes."

"Those potatoes are ready to be harvested."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

Potatoes are the most suitable crops to solve the food shortage in North County, and this is also an agricultural product that Lu Chen values ​​very much.

Lu Chen immediately said: "Go, let's take a look."

After the words fell, Lu Chen walked towards the gate of the palace.

Now Lu Chen really wants to know how many potatoes they planted in North County can harvest.

He is not an agricultural expert, and he can only plant according to the planting methods of ordinary people in this world, so he has no idea.

Soon, Lu Chen came to a field where the Northern Prince's Mansion planted potatoes.

At this time, there are already many soldiers and nearby people waiting here.

The people nearby are all interested in the new crops planted by Beiwang Mansion. Although Beiwang Mansion has never told the people what they are planting, it can be seen from the fact that Beiwang Mansion sends soldiers to patrol every day. These crops planted by Beiwang Mansion It must be very important to Beiwangfu.

Seeing so many common people nearby, Li Feng asked, "My lord, do we want to drive all these common people away?"

After all, potatoes are considered a secret of the Northern Palace. If too many people know about it, many people will covet the potatoes of the Northern Palace.

Lu Chen shook his head, and then said: "If we drive them away, how can we promote potato planting in Beijun in the future."

He originally planned to let the people in Beijun grow potatoes. If the people could not see the yield per mu of potatoes, the people would definitely not grow potatoes.

If the Northern Palace forces the common people to plant crops they have never seen before, it may arouse public outrage.

At this time, the common people around saw that the Northern King had actually come in person, so they began to discuss.

"Look! That's the prince, right?"

"It's him, I saw him when he came to Yancheng!"

"What kind of things are planted in this field? Even the King of the North has come in person!"

"It is said to be food that can be eaten."

"Really, this is the first time I've heard of grain buried under the ground."

"Wait and see, they should be planning to dig, and we will know when they dig later."

……

Lu Chen ignored the common people's comments. He glanced at the crowd, and then said to the soldier holding a hoe: "First dig an acre of land and see how much the yield is."

After Lu Chen gave an order, the soldiers began to dig up the soil, and soon, some irregular oval potatoes appeared in front of people's eyes.

Seeing that there are so many potatoes under one plant, the people around were shocked.

"Are these really edible?"

"Oh my god, there are so many seeds under one plant!"

"If they can all be eaten, then won't there be no famine in Beijun in the future?"

"But will the King of the North distribute the seeds of this plant to our common people?"

……

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it didn't take long for the potatoes on an acre of land to be dug.

Seeing the potatoes piled up like a hill, whether it was the soldiers of Beijun or the people around them, their eyes were straightened.

Finally, after weighing, the yield of one mu of potatoes is nearly [-] kilograms.

When Li Feng saw this number, he couldn't believe it. There are actually two thousand kilograms of potatoes in one mu of land!
In this era, there is not even two hundred kilograms of wheat in one mu of land...

Although he couldn't believe it, all this happened right in front of his eyes, so Li Feng couldn't help but believe it.

Li Feng then came to Lu Chen's side, and was about to report the weighing situation, Lu Chen said directly to Li Feng: "General Li, tell the common people aloud, what is the yield of one mu of potatoes?"

Li Feng instantly understood what Lu Chen meant, so he said loudly: "Report to the lord, after our weighing, the yield of one mu of potatoes is [-] kilograms!"

Hearing this, the surrounding common people boiled instantly.

"My God! Two thousand kilograms!"

"If there is so much food, we will never be afraid of going hungry again in the future!"

"Xiangrui, this is Xiangrui!"
