Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 136 Keeping Warm
"How about some more fish soup?" Emperor Qinglong coaxed carefully, fearing that the person in front of him would lose his temper again.

"I've been sitting for 30 days, I'm going to give birth." Ruyi is really about to collapse. Anyone who has been covering up for so long in the middle of summer will doubt his life.

"How about we do it for another 20 days, and I'll give you ten days off." Emperor Qinglong hugged her and prevented her from getting up.

"Is your nose broken? I stink. Even if you don't dislike me and still live, I almost stink to death." Ruyi's little fist was not polite at all, but Emperor Qinglong's chest was hard and strong. , and my hand hurt from the smash.

Xiaotian couldn't stand it anymore: "Look at the emperor's eyes. He has to deal with state affairs recently, and he also has to coax you in order to investigate the power behind that midwife. It's too miserable!"

Ruyi raised her eyes when she heard this, wow, what a handsome guy, his eyes are blue and black!

"What...what happened? Why have you become ugly?" Ruyi touched Emperor Qinglong's face with her hand, in disbelief.

Emperor Qinglong was quite happy to see Ruyi caring about him so much, but what he said later almost made him angry to death.

Emperor Qinglong didn't want to tell Ruyi those troublesome things. Ruyi had to listen. He had no choice but to tell them in detail, including his speculations with Master Yuanhai.

"So now we can only act with caution. If we make too big a move, we are afraid of triggering a war between the two countries. Although our Qing Kingdom will definitely win, there will be casualties among soldiers!"

"Furthermore, the temperature at the Qingguo border is very low, and many people on the border trade wool and other cold-resistant items with Huck."

Ruyi understood as soon as she heard it, and now the clue pointed to Huck.But firstly, because of trade, and secondly, because of fear of war, they did not dare to mobilize troops on a large scale.At the same time, we are also afraid of alerting the enemy, but now there are not enough manpower in the north to cope with sudden changes!

"It's very simple." Ruyi clapped her fingers.

"The first one is very easy to handle. It's not just wool that can keep out the cold. We can grow cotton, and we can also use goose and duck down to make coats, gradually reducing trade."

"Secondly, can we set up a militia reserve? All border people aged 15 to 35 will be trained on weekdays. The military camp will take care of the food. They can also be allowed to farm during busy farming periods."

What Ruyi said was not particularly organized, but Emperor Qinglong carefully considered it and found some truth. Although it was a bit rough, after improvement, it was still a good method.

"Tell me about the cotton again." Emperor Qinglong was really surprised.

Ruyi rolled her eyes and said, "Xiaotian, why don't you take out the cotton and show it to Emperor Qinglong? Anyway, he will think that you are the ginseng essence. He always thought that you hid the ginseng essence."

"No, the palace has planted a batch. You ask him to go back and take a look." Xiao Tian became arrogant.

"Oh, Xiaotian is the best. It will take eight hours to get back. You make me feel sorry for him." Ruyi has already touched Xiaotian thoroughly.

"Your Majesty, seeing is believing. Xiaotian has something real over there. Ask him to come out and show it to you." Ruyi said it directly, regardless of whether Xiaotian agreed or not.

Xiaotian was not angry and appeared holding a cotton ball in two tiger paws. "No, this is it."

Ruyi introduced it on the side: "Cotton has a shrub-like plant, usually one to two meters high. The flowers are milky white. After blooming, they wither and leave small green capsules, called cotton bolls. There are cotton seeds inside the cotton bolls, and the fluff on the cotton seeds comes from the cotton seeds. The outer skin grows and fills the inside of the boll, which then splits when mature, revealing the soft fibers. This is what you are holding in your hand now."

Emperor Qinglong couldn't believe that something so light and fluffy could be as warm as wool.

"Cotton is usually planted in mid-April and harvested around mid-October. Some are planted in Xianfu Palace. You can take a look at it when you go back. It can also be made into quilts and jackets."

Ruyi couldn't bear the old emperor to be troubled every day.Yi Gulong also explained in detail about goose down and duck down.

"Euck down is a reed-flower-shaped down that grows on the belly of a duck. The sheets are called feathers. Under the same conditions, goose down is slightly warmer than duck down."

"So you need to raise more ducks in areas suitable for raising ducks, and raise ducks scientifically."

"Ahem." Xiaotian saw that Ruyi was getting more and more excited as he spoke, and even the word "science" appeared.

"Well, I will write down the precautions for raising ducks later. According to my method, ducks will definitely be easy to raise."

Ruyi decided to record how to select and breed, hatch, nutrition and feed, duck farms, duck houses and duck raising equipment, and the feeding and management of egg ducks, etc.

"Ruyi, you are really my treasure." Emperor Qinglong put his arms around the person and started to kiss her.

"Go away." Ruyi pushed away vigorously, continued to do his own thing, defended his rights, and wanted to have a confinement!

The final bargaining was done for another ten days, and the royal doctor had to see it and confirm it.Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, that's okay.
