Chapter 240: Dong Muyun Arrives

Xiao Qianyin had a faint contempt in her eyes. She went to the man's room late at night, and her intention was self-evident.

"Your Highness, this is the ginseng soup made by the little girl. I heard from my father that the prince was worried about the flood. The little girl didn't understand these, but I hope she could share the worries of the prince."

After saying that, she looked at Xiao Qianyin and saw that she didn't react much, and did not let her go out. She was delighted at the moment. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had feelings for her?

So she bravely carried the ginseng soup to the desk, gently put the ginseng soup down, then reached out and pinched it up, and her arms touched Xiao Qianyin's body from time to time, and even rubbed her back with her soft breasts. Xiao Qianyin was speechless. Although it was a man's body outside, it was a girl's heart inside! She didn't care about lilies, so she wouldn't be interested in her at all. But this woman was still so vigorous. The name of the prince's concubine was so attractive, right?

"Okay, you go! The ginseng soup is my gourmet. It's too late, and the lady can leave."

Hey? Zheng Qingqing didn't expect that the Crown Prince, who had not spoken, would say such words. She was stunned immediately. She looked at Xiao Qianyin pitifully and said, "Is it because the little girl did something bad? Is it annoying to the Crown Prince?"

"Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking about the problem. Isn't you offending her without authorization?"

Qin Xiaoran leaned against the door at some point. He looked at the two of them with a smile. Xiao Qianyin raised her eyes and glared at him. It wasn't the trouble that his skin was causing!

"Who are you? You dare to trek into Your Highness's yard?"

Zheng Qingqing was stunned for a moment and Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, breaking her plan and shouting hatefully.

"Who am I? You can't control the relationship between me and Your Highness!" Qin Xiaoran's face showed a chill, and the cold light flashed in his sharp eyes made Zheng Qingqing gasp, subconsciously feeling a strong fear of him. She swallowed her saliva and ran out quickly, as if a monster was chasing her behind.

"I'm very happy to see?" Qin Xiaoran walked to the table, supported the table with both hands and asked with a smile.

"I should ask you this sentence, right? This woman has taken a fancy to your body. Do you think I, a woman, can bear the look of her admiration? Don't forget that the soul in this body is me, not you."

"This matter is indeed very troublesome. It seems that we have to find a way to change it back as soon as possible."

Qin Xiaoran used to think this was very good, but he had never had the idea of ​​changing it back. Now when encountering Zheng Qingqing's incident, he immediately had the urge to change his body back.

"Even if she finds the witch, she may not be willing. We broke her puppet technique and made her unable to use puppet technique for the rest of her life. She did not cut us down."

Xiao Qianyin said with some regret, then took out the drawings he had just put out and showed them to him: "This is my plan. You comment one or two. If it is done, let the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue deal with this matter together."

Hum? Qin Xiaoran raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and at the same time went up to observe the drawings. After a moment, he could not hide his amazement and surprise on his face: "This, this is... Ayin, your talent is no inferior to that of a man!"

This terraced field can be seen by a simple description. It is good. Some places in Qingzhou are backed by mountains and have a lot of rain and cannot grow crops. This is very disadvantageous for the villagers who make a living by it. It is particularly barren. The emergence of terraced fields will undoubtedly solve this problem. Not only Qingzhou, but other prefectures and counties with similar terrain can use terraced fields. At that time, there will be a bumper harvest. Food is the foundation of the country. Sufficient food can support a country. What do ordinary people want? It is just to be able to eat enough.

"The Yellow River will break the dam because there is too much mud and sand inside. When it rains, the surrounding soil is washed into the river. The soil erosion is severe. We can also plant some plants, plus this terrace to reduce soil erosion. If there is less mud and sand in the Yellow River, it will naturally not break through the dam."

Xiao Qianyin pointed to every part of the drawing and explained in detail. Qin Xiaoran listened to his thoughts from time to time. After the two discussed the results, it was already bright. When the two looked at each other, they all had smiles in their eyes. I believe this would bring great changes to Beiqin agriculture, and Beiqin's strength would be even stronger.

The next morning, Bai Yuchen was still in the future. After all, Qingzhou is still a bit far from the Medicine King Valley, but a person came that the two of them did not expect.

When they first met Dong Muyun, they thought something was wrong in Chang'an, but seeing Dong Muyun's calmness and leisurely appearance did not seem to be something.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Qianyin looked at him and asked.

"I heard you are short of food? Qingzhou does not have enough food for disaster relief?" Dong Muyun did not answer, but said that it was a question of the inconsistency between the enemy and the cow.

"I can hold on for a while. Yesterday, the grain merchants were allowed to divide half of the grain. As long as I can survive this difficult period, there will be nothing wrong."

"I'm here to tell you three news. I guess you two don't care about things outside in Qingzhou?"

"Oh? Is there any news you came in person? Didn't you let you handle some of the government affairs secretly in Chang'an?"

Before Qin Xiaoran left, he specially entrusted the government to Dong Muyun. No matter how they were all cousins, and he was the future head of the Confucian family, so he naturally would not take the throne seriously. It would be better to ask him to help.

"I came over in a hurry after receiving the news. Don't worry, your father is already dealing with the government. He and your mother returned to the palace. This will not hide your mother in his own palace, and no one in the harem will take a step forward."

"What happened to my mother?" Qin Xiaoran frowned. Didn't he be fine in the Royal Villa and returned to the palace? His father was willing to give up the great world of the two?

"It's not that something happened, I want to congratulate you. You will have a younger brother or sister soon."

Xiao Qianyin and Qin Xiaoran looked at each other, obviously, like a small stone falling into the calm lake, and a wave of storms suddenly arose.

"You mean, is the mother pregnant?" The speed is so fast? It didn't take long for the mother to return to the uterus?

"Yes, from the imperial doctor's meaning, I guess the time should be the day the emperor went to the Buddhist temple to get pregnant. It seems that something unknown happened there?"

He looked at the two of them with a teasing joke. It was obvious that they would do this. Who else would there be besides them? His father? He never had such a thought.

"Where is the second news?" Qin Xiaoran skipped his questions and continued to ask.

Dong Muyun touched his nose. Every time he met Qin Xiaoran, he would always be disappointed. When he thought of the second news, his expression instantly became extremely solemn: "The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Legal family had a marriage relationship, and Bei Wuxuan married the legitimate wife of the Legal family, which is Ling Xiaoya, who we met in Xiliang Kingdom."

Southern Tang and the Legalists? The Legalists have always wanted to enter the court and establish a relationship with the royal family. In the era of Qin Shihuang, the Legalists and the Yin-Yang families were the most prosperous and were deeply trusted by the emperor. Fusu began to reconsider the Legalists' philosophy. In addition, the Legalists' philosophy was not consistent with the generous and famous Fusu, and they were gradually excluded from the court. The descendants of the Qin royal family did not use the Legalists or cooperated with the Legalists. This time they found a new springboard.

"Bei Wuxuan is going to marry Nangong Wei, why did he change his life halfway?" Xiao Qianyin remembered very clearly that the two of them had a deep love at Lushan Academy and were both together, so they were almost not awarded the Best Couple Award to them.

"There is no news about Nangong Wei. It seems that when the witch happened last time, she was also injured. Perhaps she left with the witch. This incident was suppressed by the head of the Bai family. Except for the few people who were there at that time, other medical disciples were sealed off their memories at that time. Ling Xiaoya and Bei Wuxuan were fashionable and unconscious, so they didn't know that Bei Wuxuan didn't even mention it afterwards. They were very attentive to Ling Xiaoya. Tsk, this man is really..."

Although the following words were not said, the meaning inside was self-evident. Dong Muyun was a little contemptuous and sarcastic. He relied on marriage to consolidate his position and his method level was too low.

"Don't forget that my father and mother have the same marriage." Qin Xiaoran added a sentence at the right time, which was a bit like watching the show.

"Uh? How can they compete with Emperor Qin?" Dong Muyun said with a haha, and then said: "The third news is that I have found a way to solve your food problem."

"you mean?"

"I have always been interested in agriculture, so I have studied many plants, and I have discovered a plant that is very easy to survive."

After saying that, the entourage beside him brought a basket of plants according to his instructions, with many ears growing on it, which looked quite plump, some of which were the same as rice.

"Why are you bringing this?" Qin Xiaoran picked up one of the plants inside, looked at them for a while and asked.

These ears are the plants that are often seen in the mountains. They can be seen almost throughout the Northern Qin Dynasty. In addition to Qingzhou, there are also other prefectures and counties. They look like grain, but they are actually not edible at all. Moreover, the seeds of the ear are too small and the shell is too hard, and it is difficult to peel them. Even if the seeds are made, they will be hard and hard to swallow whether they are cooked or fried.

"Don't underestimate this thing, don't think it's useless. Let me tell you that it will become a very useful thing when it comes to my hands."

"You mean, can it be eaten? Can it be replaced by food?"

According to Dong Muyun's words, if the ears that grow all over the mountains and fields are really edible, then Bei Qin will not have any food crisis. First, this thing can grow so extensive even if no one takes care of it. Second, this thing has no requirements for soil quality, and third, it requires very little water. These advantages are destined to grow during drought, and the land that was idle in Bei Qin that was not suitable for cultivation was used.

At that time, the Northern Qin Dynasty would not need to worry about food. With the terraced fields proposed by Xiao Qianyin, the national strength of the Northern Qin would surpass other three countries. His greatest wish since childhood was to one day unify the world like his ancestors, the First Emperor, so that the people would no longer be displaced and suffer from war. Although the four countries have signed an agreement now, it does not mean that they will be so peaceful, and there will still be frictions at the border.

"Hmph, look at me!" Dong Muyun looked proud and took the two of them to the kitchen of the provincial muslim mansion. There happened to be a stone mill, which was probably used to grind flour or soybeans on weekdays.

At his instructions, he held the bamboo basket and pinched the rhizomes from above, then put the rhizomes on the stone mill and slowly pushed them. The rhizomes gradually turned into powder under the push grinding of the stone mill.

Xiao Qianyin and Qin Xiaoran watched as their followers poured the powder into the water tank. In the bright sunshine, they saw the water turning gray.

"The water has turned gray, so you can put the bamboo basket down." Dong Muyun explained. Another follower picked up the lid, covered the bamboo basket containing the seeds, tied the rope tightly to prevent the lid from falling off, and then put the bamboo basket into the water tank and then used a wooden cover to hold the water tank.

"After the lid is on the water tank, don't lift it again, because the light cannot be seen. The cut ears should be treated like this on the same day. It will be discarded every other night. If you wait for three hours, this thing will be eaten."

"Are you really so sure?" Qin Xiaoran never knew that Dong Muyun had such a side.

"Of course, you'll know after you've seen it!" Dong Muyun said, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Bei Wuxuan wants to marry Ling Xiaoya, who do you want to send? You have to go and congratulate them on their marriage."

Originally, Qin Xiaoran was the crown prince and Bei Wuxuan was also the crown prince. It would be the most appropriate for him to go there, but the current situation is obviously inappropriate, not to mention that the flood disaster in Qingzhou has not been properly handled, so he would not go there.

According to his speculation, the princes of the other two countries will go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it seems a bit unreasonable if the prince does not go to the Northern Qin Dynasty.

"Is there anyone who chooses the father?"

"The Qin Emperor means that since the prince is providing disaster relief, he plans to send the fifth prince."

"Haha, this time the fifth prince's faction is going to be proud and proud. You should know that the other two countries are going to the crown prince. He is the fifth prince and may be sent there. Doesn't it mean that his identity is as noble as the crown prince? Maybe when he comes back, the position of the crown prince will be given to him."

Qin Xiaoran sneered. He didn't know what the fifth emperor brother thought about? He thought that he was the crown prince all day long, and he thought that his mother was the imperial concubine and the grandson of the prime minister, and his position as the crown prince was his!

"I think he is very pitiful. He wants to be the prince and is crazy." Dong Muyun shook his head with sympathy on his face, looking like he was helpless.

"It's okay, it's just a clown. I don't take him seriously yet!"

This statement is extremely arrogant, but it is so reasonable, noble and elegant, and elegant. This attitude is truly the demeanor of the king.

After three hours, the follower took out the bamboo basket soaked in the water and lifted it open, so the things covered by the bamboo cover were clearly exposed to the eyes of several people.

Qin Xiaoran has always been calm, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was as if it were chatting and laughing. His pupils were actually wide open: "Is this really put in half a basket?"

It’s not his fault that he expressed his doubts. The bamboo basket in front of him was full of baskets, and there was no way to look like half a basket.

"Of course, do you think I'll cut corners? What do you think I'm like? Why do I need to lie to you?"

After speaking, Dongmuyun picked up one of the seeds. The seed was more than the one that had shaken off. He pinched it with his hands and soaked it in water. The hard shell became very soft. Just rub it, and the shell was peeled off, revealing the white flesh inside.

"This is the fruit inside. After you make it in the kitchen, you can eat it. I promise that there is no difference between the food I usually eat."

Qin Xiaoran and Xiao Qianyin looked at each other, and finally Xiao Qianyin used the prince's identity to order the kitchen to cook the things.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the kitchen not to neglect it, so they quickly cooked the food and put it on. Although they were also curious about what it was, how could it be made similar to the rice they usually eat?

The steam in the wooden bowl was confused, and a stream of rice fragrance came to his nose. Crystal clear rice grains piled up, which looked no different from the rice I usually eat. Qin Xiaoran blinked. This thing was indeed extraordinary! He picked up three pairs of chopsticks and handed it to the other two. The three of them picked up the rice grains on it and tasted it. It really tasted good. This thing was indeed very good.

"How is it? I believe it this time, right? I will definitely not disappoint you."

"You are quite useful." Qin Xiaoran's chilly words instantly made Dong Muyun froze. Why did this person always sing the opposite tune with him?

"This is just right. Call the two from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to explain the matter together."

Well? Dong Muyun was puzzled. What else was there? He subconsciously looked at Qin Xiaoran, but saw that he had no intention of answering, and couldn't help but feel angry. What's going on! Is it necessary to be so mysterious?

When the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue heard that it was the prince's call, they immediately rushed back from the embankment. One of them was responsible for strengthening the embankment and the other was responsible for counting the population of the victims. In addition, they had to sigh that the six ministries proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince were indeed very conducive to handling political affairs. At least they could perform their duties efficiently, rather than quarrel over a matter of time like before.

"Two, I'm here today. There are two things to tell you. Of course, you can make suggestions or have questions, but the final result must be that you must show some strength, do you know?"

The powerful power was intimidating, and the two of them didn't care about wiping the sweat shed from running and said it was.

Dong Muyun was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Xiao Qianyin was quite like a crown prince. She seemed to have no flaws. She was like a genuine prince. No wonder Qin Xiaoran was so relieved. It seemed that there was no reason. After all, she was sitting there, the appearance of the prince and the pressure that the superiors should have, just like another Qin Xiaoran.

Xiao Qianyin took out the drawings, which were the terraced fields and vegetation planting that she and Qin Xiaoran discussed.
