“At your command, Princess!”

“Alright, then I’ll find you a place to stay. I don’t need you now.”

Wei Zheng said hesitantly, “Princess, we’re here to protect you. We can’t be too far away from you.”

Jian Qingqing frowned. “You want to follow me wherever I go?”

“Yes.”

“But I don’t like people following me.”

Wei Zheng said, “Princess, don’t worry. We will be more discreet.”

That was fine, but her family did not have that many rooms for them to stay in. They only had two guest rooms and a room for storing sundries.

There were only three rooms, but there was not enough room for so many people. Unless she stuffed a few more beds in, she suddenly thought of the kind of bunk beds in modern student dormitories. Perhaps it would be enough to get someone to beat them up for two or three days.

“You guys go to the inn and stay there for a few days. I’ll get someone to make the beds for you.”

Wei Zheng still did not agree. “Princess, we don’t have to sleep on the bed.”

It implied that they were going to stay here.

Jian Qingqing was helpless. “Alright then. You guys stay here for a few days. I’ll get someone to make the beds for you right away.”

“Thank you, Princess!”

Carpentry was not hard to find. Jian Qingqing drew the blueprints for the upper and lower bunk beds and found all the Carpenters in the county. She asked them to speed up the work and basically finished it the next day.

Conferring the title of Princess with a foreign surname was a big matter. This matter had already been announced to the world when the Emperor announced it in the imperial court. At once, notices were posted at the county offices in various places, they described the identity of the Princess with a foreign surname and the contributions she had made.

What shocked the world was not this Princess with a foreign surname, but the high yield of grain mentioned in the notice.

A high-yield grain of more than 2000 catties per acre.

No one suspected that it was fake, because the Emperor had said it himself, and it was written on the imperial edict.

For a moment, it was earth-shattering. All the people of Great Wei were intensely discussing the Princess with a foreign surname and the high-yield grain. Memorials from all over the place piled up on the Emperor’s desk, all asking for high-yield grain.

The Emperor let out a bitter and sweet sigh. He did not have the high yield of grain either. It was all in Ming Zhiyan’s hands.

With this in mind, he wrote another letter urging Ming Zhiyan to quickly arrange these matters.

Not to mention the others, he was already filled with curiosity towards that Princess Jian. He did not know what kind of wonderful person she was, to actually do so many great things.

Because this time, they were going to plant crops all over Great Wei, and there were not that many high-yielding grains, so how to distribute them was also a problem.

“Divide them equally among each city?” Jian Qingqing asked.

Ming Zhiyan shook his head. “That’s not right. If we divide them like this, each city won’t get much. After they are divided among the cities, it’s not certain who will get them.”

Jian Qingqing thought for a while, she said, “Why don’t we divide it into regions? For example, sweet potatoes are suitable for sandy land. If the land in that city has more sandy land, then we’ll divide the sweet potatoes there. We’ll divide the cities with fertile land into other areas. We won’t plant those that are more barren for now. We’ll plant the areas that can be planted well first. We’ll leave more for those that grow well. When the time comes, we’ll distribute them to other areas.”

This was a good idea, but there might be some places that would cause a ruckus, and they still had to coordinate these relationships.

“Okay, I’ll think about it.” Ming Zhiyan said this, and he suddenly thought of something. “What are you going to do with those chilies?”

“Make them into chili sauce. The weather is cold now, so eating chilies is just right. The chili sauce can be fermented for a few days and eaten. If anyone wants to grow it, they can also use it to grow it.”

“Okay, let me know when you’re done. I’ll get someone to pull it to the border. It’s starting to snow in some places. I’m afraid the soldiers won’t be having a good time.”

“Okay, it’ll be done very soon. It should be done in the next few days.” historical

She had already gotten someone to pick the chili and was waiting to chop it into a sauce..
