Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, Jian Qingqing got up early and asked Butler Zhang to take out all the accounts in the manor. She wanted to understand them and clean them up.

When she was conferred the title of Princess, the Emperor had bestowed many things. These things were now lying in the storehouse in the manor. There were also many shops in the prosperous areas. These shops had been profitable for the past few months, these things were all managed by Butler Zhang before.

Oh right, she still had half of the prefecture’s fiefdom. The fiefdom was in harmony city, which was not a prosperous but not barren place. This prefecture could be completely under her jurisdiction, and all the tax revenue would be sent to her.

Jian Qingqing did a rough calculation and was shocked. Good heavens, she could be considered a super-rich woman now. Just the profits from those shops in a month were more than what she had earned in the past two years, not to mention the farms and so on, this era was really drought-like.

After calculating her current assets, Jian Qingqing instructed Butler Zhang to help her with some things.

After coming to the capital, of course, her career had to start anew. Not only her hot pot shop, but also Mother Jian’s dessert shop had to be opened.

In addition, Xiao Hu and the others had to re-enroll in school or something.

She naturally did not have much time to look after the hot pot shop, so she planned to leave it to Butler Zhang. Now, she did not lack money and power, so it was just right to open the shop in a prosperous area, after all, she was going to sell it to rich people.

After arranging the matters of Mother Jian, she also had to arrange the matters of Jian Dalang and Old Man Jian. They were used to doing farm work at home, so after coming here, they could not get used to staying there. They did not know many people in this place for the time being, Jian Qingqing wanted to find something for them to do. She looked around and saw that she had a manor in the suburbs of the Capital, which was more than a thousand acres.

Therefore, that manor could be handed over to Old Man Jian and Father Jian to manage first. Her high-yield grain would also have to be planted here.

Moreover, she had a vague goal in mind. Corn and sweet potatoes were not staple foods after all. Staple foods still depended on rice and wheat, but in this era, rice and wheat grains were too low, she remembered that modern high-yield rice and wheat were obtained through continuous hybridization. Perhaps she could also try to do this.

It was good to increase the yield by one or two hundred catties, not to mention a thousand catties per acre.

Cross-breeding was to select different varieties of the same species for pollination. For example, the ones with big grains and drought resistance. In this way, the varieties with high yield and drought resistance could be obtained. They could continue to be selected, then, they could get excellent and stable varieties.

In this case, they still needed to divide the experimental fields. Fortunately, her farm was big enough, and there was more than one farm. There was enough space for her to play.

However, the difficult part was to find different varieties of wheat and rice. However, she was a Princess now, and she had many subordinates. She could send them to find different seeds in different places. In this way, this problem would not be a problem.historical

She did it right away. The next day, she found Wei Zheng and asked him to send people to different places to find different grains and wheat seeds. She would also bring home those that looked different from the others.

Although Wei Zheng was confused, he still followed Jian Qingqings request to do it.

Jian Qingqing then went to talk to Jian Dalang and old man Jian, asking them to bring the high-yielding grain from Shifeng County to the farm to grow.

There were servants and farmers in the farm, so these things did not need to be done by Old Man Jian and the others. They just needed to supervise.

However, Old Man Jian and Jian Dalang were still very happy because they were still very uncomfortable in this huge Princess Residence. Without their close relatives and friends, there was not even anyone to talk to..
