Chapter 40 Auspicious Sign! This Is an Auspicious Sign!

As time passed, the belly of Mu Zixuan's three daughters became bigger and bigger, and soon the day of delivery came.

Ever since the news came out from Beijun that King Bei was assassinated by Xueyuelou and then rescued by the mysterious master, Beijun suddenly became much more stable.

This made some forces realize that the mysterious master beside King Bei might always follow and protect King Bei.

Although King Bei is a waste, the mysterious master beside King Bei is not a vegetarian.

Because of Emperor Xia's warning, the Eighth Prince did not continue to send people to assassinate Lu Chen. He just asked Wang Qingci to continue to monitor Lu Chen in Beijun and tell him immediately if he found out that the North King had contact with the Chu family.

In the past few months, Lu Chen has not been busy dealing with Beijun's affairs. Beijun is still under the supervision of the county guard Li Rui.

However, Lu Chen asked people to measure the land of the palace, and then asked the people to open up wasteland and plant all 10,000 kilograms of breeding potatoes.

There is a lot of wasteland in Beijun, and not many people pay attention to the Beiwang Mansion's land measurement and wasteland development.

These days, Lu Chen has been accompanying Mu Zixuan and the three of them at the palace. The three of them are about to give birth, so Lu Chen takes extra care of them, for fear that something will happen to them.

At this time, Lu Chen gently stroked Mu Zixuan's swollen belly, and then said with a smile: "My dear concubine, please leave the palace's property to Aunt Chu for the time being, and then you can wait for the birth with peace of mind. Now, don’t worry about those things for now.”

In the past few months, Mu Zixuan has expanded the soap industry and perfume industry hundreds of times. Now the entire Daxia Dynasty, whether high-ranking officials or ordinary people, are using the perfume and soap produced by their palace.

Although these two things are more profitable, because they are Beiwang's properties, and Mu Changtian is watching over Beiwang Mansion in the capital, no one dares to pursue these two industries yet.

What Lu Chen didn't expect the most was that Mu Zixuan seemed to be a very business-savvy person. She also combined perfume and soap to create a product like soap.

Of course, this is not a simple combination, the soap has been modified and can be used for bathing.

The palace has these industries and can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every month. Mu Zixuan is also actively exploring business routes. She plans to sell these things to other countries.

Unfortunately, as her belly grew bigger day by day, her energy became worse and worse, and she felt sleepy every day. Now she was completely unable to take care of the palace's property.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Mu Zixuan said, "Well, I have asked someone to transfer all the palace's accounts to Aunt Chu. Aunt Chu has been familiar with the palace's properties these days."

Although Chu Yuqin could not be considered a member of the North Palace now, everyone in the palace trusted her and knew that sooner or later she would be Lu Chen's woman.

Leaving the palace's property in her hands, people didn't worry at all about what would happen.

At this moment, the maid Xiaorou entered the room and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Li is looking for you, saying that he has something important to do."

Hearing this, Lu Chen stroked Mu Zixuan's cheek, and then said: "My beloved concubine, I have to go out beforehand, please lie down well."

Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "Well, Your Majesty, go and do your work."

Lu Chen immediately stood up and walked towards the martial arts training ground.

After seeing Li Feng, before Li Feng could salute, Lu Chen asked: "General Li, what do you want from me?"

Li Feng quickly replied: "Your Majesty, good news, the soil you asked us to plant...soil..."

Having said this, Li Feng thought for a moment, and then immediately said: "Oh, yes, potatoes."

"Those potatoes are ready for harvest."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

Potatoes are the most suitable crop to solve the food shortage in Bei County. This is also an agricultural product that Lu Chen values ​​​​very much.

Lu Chen immediately said: "Let's go take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen walked towards the gate of the palace.

Lu Chen now wants to know how much they can harvest from these potatoes grown in North County.

He was not an agricultural expert and could only plant according to the common people's planting methods in this world, so he felt very unsure.

Soon, Lu Chen came to a field where potatoes were grown in Beiwang Mansion.

At this time, there were already many soldiers and nearby people waiting here.

The people nearby are interested in the new crops grown by Beiwang. Although Beiwang Mansion has never told the people what they are growing, it can be seen from the fact that Beiwang Mansion sends soldiers to patrol every day. These crops grown by Beiwang Mansion It must be very important to Beiwangfu.

Seeing so many people nearby, Li Feng asked: "Your Majesty, do we want to drive all these people away?"

After all, potatoes are considered a secret of Beiwang Mansion. If too many people know about it, many people may covet the potatoes of Beiwang Mansion.

Lu Chen shook his head, and then said: "If we drive them away, how can we promote potato cultivation in North County in the future?"

He originally planned to let the people of Bei County plant potatoes. If he could not let the people see the yield of potatoes per acre, the people would definitely not plant potatoes.

If the Beiwang Mansion forces the people to plant crops they have never seen before, this may arouse public outrage.

At this time, the people around saw that King Bei had come in person, so they started talking one after another.

"Look! Is that the prince?"

"It's him, I saw him when he came to Yancheng!"

"What is planted in this field? Even the King of the North came here in person!"

"It is said that it is edible food."

"Is it true? This is the first time I have heard of food buried under the ground."

"Wait and see. They should be planning to dig. We will know when they dig later."

...

Lu Chen ignored the people's discussion. He glanced at the crowd and then said to the soldier holding a hoe: "Dig one acre of land first and see how much the yield is."

At Lu Chen's command, the soldiers began to dig the soil. Soon, some irregular oval potatoes appeared in front of people.

Seeing that there were so many potatoes under one plant, the people around were stunned.

"Are these really edible?"

"Oh my God, there are so many potatoes under one plant!"

"If they can all be eaten, then there will be no more famine in Beijun in the future?"

"But will the King of the North distribute the seeds of this plant to us ordinary people?"

...

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, one acre of potatoes was dug up.

Seeing the pile of potatoes, the soldiers of Beijun and the people around them were all stunned.

After weighing, the yield of one acre of potato was nearly 2,000 kilograms.

When Li Feng saw this number, he couldn't believe it. One acre of potato actually had 2,000 kilograms!

In this era, one acre of wheat didn't even have 200 kilograms...

Although he couldn't believe it, it happened right in front of him, and Li Feng couldn't help but believe it.

Li Feng then came to Lu Chen and was about to report the weighing situation. Lu Chen said to Li Feng directly: "General Li, tell the people loudly, what is the yield of one acre of potato?"

Li Feng instantly understood what Lu Chen meant, so he said loudly: "Report to the prince, after our weighing, the yield of one acre of potato is 2,000 kilograms!"

Hearing this, the people around him were instantly excited.

"Oh my God! Two thousand kilograms!"

"If there is so much food, we will never be afraid of starving in the future!"

"Auspicious, this is auspicious!"
