The cute little milk bag, the group's pet, actually farms in the palace

Chapter 128 If you don’t want to come, then leave. This princess won’t stop you.

With the support of the Ministry of Revenue, no one objected anymore, and it was obvious that the emperor was also protecting them, so it was useless even if they disagreed.

Xia Qingqing was completely unaware of the verbal dispute in the court. After receiving the imperial edict, she rushed to the suburbs.

The ministers who had reported the situation to Xia Xuan in the hall before were also waiting there, and they needed to be called over to find out the situation.

"You said before that the people had no money to buy seeds?"

"Yes Princess."

Xia Qingqing found out that about a hundred people had run out of money while fleeing the famine and had no more silver.

The other refugees at least had some savings, so they could buy some food to grow. They did not think of troubling the court, thinking that the court had already given them so much food and they did not need to trouble them anymore.

Some people are a bit greedy and think that the court will definitely distribute these seeds. Otherwise, they will have no seeds, so what will they eat next year?

At this time, Xia Qingqing didn't know how greedy they were. After listening to the ministers' words, she began to think of countermeasures.

Finally, I thought of letting them work and earn money, and then they could use the money they earned to buy seeds.

It just so happened that Xia Qingqing felt that there was a large piece of uncultivated land in the suburbs, so she asked them to come and reclaim it. This would not only open up new land for the farm, but also allow them to make money.

This decision was unanimously approved by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The farm was located at the foot of the mountain, and the entire mountain belonged to them. They could develop the land in any way they wanted.

They had wanted to reclaim the land before, but they alone could not do it. Even if they included the surrounding villagers, there were not enough people.

Moreover, the place was overgrown with weeds and they didn't know if there were any ferocious beasts, so they didn't dare to go in without permission.

If there were so many people working together, we should be able to reclaim a lot of wasteland.

I used to think that this amount of land was enough, but since I started growing greenhouse vegetables, I feel that it is a bit too little.

Xia Qingqing spread the news, earning twenty cents a day, which means six hundred cents a month.

The cheapest seeds cost eight cents for half a pound, which is enough to plant half an acre of land.

Even after buying the seeds, there is still a lot left. If you use the remaining money sparingly, it will be enough to last until the harvest.

Many people were excited after hearing the news and ran to the farm gate to sign up. Some refugees even had money on hand but still wanted to strive for any opportunity to earn money.

After asking, she found out that all of them can go in. Although she wanted to help the refugees, it would also be okay for the previous villagers to come. After all, it takes strength to open up new land, and the more people the better.

Of course, it’s not just about clearing the land, there’s also farming and sowing seeds.

She wanted to try the seeds in the space. The seeds in the space could be taken out and planted, but she didn't know what the effect would be, so she had to experiment.

We also need to plant some medicinal herbs here, which will be of great use in the future.

If you think about it this way, there is indeed a lot more wasteland that needs to be reclaimed.

"We have to work so hard to reclaim the wasteland, but you only give us 20 cents. Don't you have a lot of seeds? You need to plant seeds to reclaim the wasteland. You have so many seeds, why can't you give us some?"

Xia Qingqing could hear the shouting outside, but she was not in a hurry to go out. She wanted to see what was being said first.

"This was arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Do you want to disobey the Princess' orders?"

The people outside were all from the Ministry of Revenue. When they heard someone being so unreasonable, they all became a little angry.

After all, they have been officials for a long time and have some authority, so after a glare from them, they all shut up.

The originally crowded and noisy crowd suddenly became quiet. The people from the Ministry of Household Affairs stared down at the person who had just spoken.

"Do you have any objections?"

The man was just frightened just now, but after having been looked down upon by many officials along the way, he has become a lot braver.

“Isn’t what I just said the truth? You have such a big mountain, and you asked us to open up the wasteland. Why can’t you just give us seeds or silver?

You will give it to us sooner or later anyway, so you can just give it to us now."

Although what he said was a bit absurd, many people felt that he was right. Yes, it was supposed to be given to them anyway, so wouldn't it be better to just give it to them directly?

The people in the Ministry of Revenue were so angry to see that he was still talking so confidently. Did he really think that all this money was earned for free?

He pointed at the man's face, his chest heaving with anger.

“You, you, you!”

"You don't have to come." Xia Qingqing's voice came from behind. It sounded like a child's voice, but it actually carried a bit of majesty, which made them all look up curiously.

Then I saw a person wearing a goose yellow silk fabric with a pattern of green plums embroidered on it. It looked lifelike and very expensive.

There seemed to be a small green snake lying on the shoulder. The snake seemed to have sensed the anger of its owner. It was originally lying leisurely, but now it stood up and looked at them with its tongue sticking out.

Xia Qingqing glanced at them coldly, finally stopping at the man who was speaking.

The people who had just been swept by his eyes lowered their heads in panic. They felt a chill on their backs. There was a chill in those indifferent eyes, and they looked at them with a sense of oppression.

They couldn't even look at each other for even a second. They had never seen a member of the royal family and they never saw such important figures in their daily lives.

The man was sweating profusely. Even though Xia Qingqing was just a child, she grew up next to Xia Xuan. Her aura was at least 30% similar to Xia Xuan's.

Even if it is only this little, it is enough to make ordinary people feel stressed.

When the people from the Ministry of Revenue saw Xia Qingqing coming out, they hurried over and said, "Princess..."

Xia Qingqing looked up and interrupted what he was about to say, looking at the man in front of her and spoke softly.

"If you don't want to come, then go. This princess won't stop you."

Xia Qingqing spoke softly, but her voice was loud enough for them to hear. The man felt embarrassed when he saw that people around him began to point fingers at him.

"What are you looking at? Isn't that what you were thinking? They clearly have seeds, so what's wrong with giving us some? They want us to help with the work before they give us any. They just want to take advantage of us!"

Even the good-tempered Xia Qingqing couldn't accept such shameless words, "If anyone thinks the same as him, go with him!"

Xia Qingqing's tone was very angry, and the people below couldn't help but shrink their shoulders. No one spoke. Seeing this, Xia Qingqing continued.

"The Ministry of Revenue's things belong to the imperial court, why should they be given to you?"
