The third princess's fame spread all over the capital, and her reputation in the hearts of the people was very high. She was a female Bodhisattva and a little fairy in the people's mouth. She was dedicated to saving poor people like them.

Under the patient care of the people in the village, the double-cropping rice seedlings are growing day by day. In mid-July, the early rice harvest season is here.

The emperor took the queen and the prince to the third princess's farm in person to watch the rice harvest.

When the emperor came out of the palace and went to the farm, he was so excited that he could not express it in words.

Standing at a high place, he could have a panoramic view of the vast golden rice fields. Watching the rolling rice waves was just like his burning heart at the moment.

"The early rice planted by the emperor's younger brother and the third princess has been successful. I look forward to a bumper harvest. I am so happy." The emperor held Chu Huaijin's hand excitedly. The most noble man in the Chu Kingdom was a little incoherent.

"Mian Mian has made a great contribution. By next year, double-cropping rice cultivation will be extended to farmers in all counties and counties. Then the problem of food shortage in the Chu country will be solved. This is a good thing that benefits the people." The Queen said.

People on the sidelines were also very excited.

She gave birth to the little prince last month, and he was born safely. She still has a few days left to finish her confinement, so she can't wait to come with the emperor to see the early rice harvest and witness this historic moment.

Fortunately, mid-July is midsummer, and the weather is hot, so you won’t catch a cold even if you come out before the end of confinement.

The prince has grown a lot taller in the past six months. At the age of seven, he is already very calm and shows the air of a king for the first time.

Naturally, he understood the significance of the success of double-cropping rice cultivation to the great Chu country.

The two people he admired most in his heart were his uncle and his aunt.

The next day, the emperor announced in the morning that the early rice was ripe for harvest, and everyone in the court was very happy.

This is a grand event for the great Chu State, and their ministers naturally hope that the country will become more and more prosperous.

Now I am completely convinced by the third princess, who really planted early rice.

"The emperor's ministers have been busy helping people in the farm to harvest early rice these past two days. I can personally experience the joy of harvesting early rice. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people.

I have a suggestion. I suggest that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty participate in the early rice harvest and contribute their own strength. They can better understand the difficulty of farmers planting crops, and they can cherish food more in the future." The voice of Mr. Lin, the Minister of Household Affairs

resounded above the hall.

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were hammered. Didn't this mean they were asked to work in the fields?

A small number of these ministers came from poor families and had never done farm work before. They did not reject it, but supported Master Lin's proposal.

Most officials have been pampered since childhood and have never been to the fields for most of their lives. It is difficult to accept the news that they have to go to the fields to harvest rice.

"Your Majesty, think twice. All the ministers are the pillars of the court and serve the court. How can you go to the fields to harvest rice? Isn't this a waste of talent? I don't agree with Master Lin's proposal." One of the old ministers was the first to object.

"I agree with Master Lin's proposal. I think it is very meaningful to experience harvesting rice in the fields. Such an opportunity is rare. All ministers should participate more.

This can not only experience the suffering of the people, but also contribute to the future prosperity of the Chu Kingdom. It cannot be said to be overkill.

As a minister, you should be prepared to be a brick. Move it wherever you need it." Mu Li took a step forward and started talking.

"Mu Aiqing said it well. If everyone in this court was as transparent and willing to contribute as Mu Aiqing, then why would the great Chu country not be strong?

I decided to follow Mr. Lin's suggestion and prepare all my beloved ministers to cancel the morning court tomorrow when they return home. They will all go to the third princess's farm to harvest rice.

Old ministers can ask their children to go to the fields to harvest rice on their behalf." The emperor's majestic voice sounded.

The unwilling ministers below did not dare to refute. The emperor had already said this, and raising objections would make the emperor unhappy. It was possible to ask them, veteran ministers, to go home and retire.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have another suggestion. The family members and servants of the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government can also follow you to the fields to harvest. This can also reduce the labor force for the ministers and speed up the completion of the rice harvest." Mr. Lin continued to put forward his opinions.

Come.

As soon as this proposal came out, the ministers looked better. Being able to take people to work on the farm, they could relax and be lazy.

"Precisely." The emperor readily agreed to Master Lin's proposal.

Mr. Lin was so happy and felt so beautiful.

Now is the busy farming season in the village, which requires a large number of manpower. It can be said that as many people as possible can be used.

The third princess came up with this idea and asked him to propose it to the court in the morning.

It was expected that the emperor's memorial was accurate, and soon there was a lot of labor force. Every family of the civil and military officials in the court had children, and in addition they had to bring many servants to work.

In just one day, there are thousands of laborers, and they don't have to spend any money. They work for nothing. At most, they can provide lunch.

It has to be said that the third princess has eight hundred tricks, and he is completely convinced.

From looking down on the third princess at the beginning, to now I truly understand that the third princess is an unusual and strange woman. She has means, wisdom, and great love.

The third princess and the third prince are two equally matched people. They are a perfect match. There is no question of who is worthy or unworthy.

"When it comes to the list of civil and military officials going to the fields to harvest rice, I will give it to Mu Taifu to record. The performance of all the beloved ministers will also be recorded on it. When the time comes, I will reward the officials with the best performance." The emperor sat on the dragon throne.

Open your mouth.

"I will live up to the emperor's trust." Mu Li replied respectfully.

After leaving the court, Mu Li called the Minister of Household Affairs for help. When he returned to the county palace, he listed all the civil and military officials of the court. There were three farms in total, and these officials who went to work in the fields were also in the three farms.

There was one of the largest farms, and Mu Li assigned officials from poor backgrounds there. These officials also supported Mr. Lin's proposal, and they would definitely work hard in the fields and not be lazy.

As expected, the emperor will also come in person. When the emperor sees these officials working hard, he will also have a good impression.

He was indirectly helping these officials from a poor background. After all, he was also born into a poor family. If the younger sister hadn't saved the prince and became the third princess, even if he was admitted to the top of the imperial examination, he would only be holding a seventh-grade official position and would not even be qualified to go to the palace.

His rapid rise to prominence is all due to his younger sister, the support of the third prince, and the trust of the prince.

Mu Li was born into a poor family, so he can sympathize with how difficult it is to gain a foothold in the court without family support. Now that he has the ability, he is willing to support officials who come from poor families.
