It is not an easy task to promote food cultivation.

Let’s put it this way, even if everyone thinks a new type of food is good and everyone has heard of it, it is not easy for them to grow it now.

What if food cannot grow? If the yield is not good, will everyone go hungry?

So now even if there are enough seeds, it is not that simple to plant them in a large area.

And not to mention, if someone wants to cause trouble, they will naturally find a way to stop it.

Su Ruchun knew it wouldn't be easy, but she didn't expect it to be so extraordinary.

The grain seeds had only been transported for three days when they encountered difficulties.

The people in the surrounding cities did not want to plant it, and some people had already taken the seeds away, but quickly returned them.

Su Ruchun knew that the reason why they were so successful in planting was because they had nothing at that time.

In the royal city, everything started from nothing at that time, so it was naturally easy.

No matter what you ask them to do, as long as you give them food, they will be able to accept it.

And she also gave her money, so who wouldn’t want to?

But this time it is obviously different, because this time the farmers are asked to plant a different kind of food on their mature land, which is obviously not that easy.

"At what point did the problem occur?"

Su Ruchun asked, the people standing below were all his confidants.

They were all transferred back from the Royal City and grew up with Su Ruchun, so they were naturally different when they got along.

Su Ruchun said that corn and sweet potatoes should be promoted, so their mission is to promote corn and sweet potatoes thoroughly, and no one can stop them.

Let alone ordinary ministers, even the emperor should not try to stop this matter.

“It was already agreed, and some people agreed, that they would plant sweet potatoes.

Why grow sweet potatoes?

That's because they've had roasted sweet potatoes for the past two years.

In their area, sweet potatoes are not eaten as food, but they are sold as snacks and the price is not low.

It is precisely because of this that many people were tempted, but after everyone had received the seeds, they all returned."

Su Ruchun nodded, obviously there was a problem here.

"Did you ask for the reason?"

"After asking, one person was given ten taels of silver. After asking people in ten villages, they all said that someone was looking for their village chief.

The man said that the sweet potato could not be harvested even if it was not grown. Sometimes it would grow over a hundred kilograms in one field, which was not even enough to fit between teeth.

Although everyone wants to make money, they are also afraid of not having enough to eat, so no one dares to try it, but they are all sent back."

Su Ruchun nodded, this was someone who did this deliberately.

"Where is the person, have you been caught?"

Su Ruchun asked, and his subordinates said a little ashamedly: "I haven't caught him yet, but I will catch him soon, very soon.

I have already arranged for people to be in several local villages, but I don’t believe that they can still come out.”

Su Ruchun nodded, yes, this is indeed the most direct way.

But there is a problem, that is, there is not enough time.

After this month, it will be too late to plant sweet potatoes.

So Su Ruchun said: "We need to find a way to develop sweet potatoes as quickly as possible. Of course, we don't have to plant them all, and the grain cannot be too single."

At this time, someone took the lead in thinking of a way, which was to provide compensation in advance.

Su Ruchun felt that this method was feasible. They would not give money, but they would give food.

The most indispensable thing in their royal city is food.

In other words, a village chooses three families to grow sweet potatoes, and of course the village chief is one of them.

Then two households are drawn by lot, and whoever wins the lottery will be responsible.

From now on, we will provide enough food. Regardless of whether we can grow sweet potatoes or not, there will still be a lot of food.

But they are responsible for planting sweet potatoes. If the sweet potato yield is poor due to laziness, they will be punished.

After all, there is an average value. Anyway, someone’s yield per mu is several thousand kilograms, but yours is several hundred kilograms per mu. That’s impossible.

Moreover, in the second year, these sweet potatoes will be kept by the village chief and distributed to other families in the village for free.

At that time, whether it is a mountainous area or a vegetable garden, it can be used for planting.

The price paid is minimal, that is to say, promotion can be achieved with only a small amount of grain.

It is precisely because of this that Su Ruchun feels that this method is the best.

They agreed on a plan, and Su Ruchun mobilized a small army.

That's right, other people's queens can only be queens, but Su Ruchun is different.

Not only is she a queen, she also controls part of the army.

My biological father has now been crowned king, and the 50,000 soldiers under his command are no joke.

Because of this, Su Ruchun can carry out the plan with confidence, and anyone who disobeys will be directly captured as a soldier.

Let's see who has the courage to give it a try.

Of course, there are some things where you can choose a gentle approach, but there are some things where you can only take a stronger approach.

"Master Liu, this matter will trouble you."

"Queen, don't worry, this is a major event in the world, and I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

He also did it under pressure. He knew that if he couldn't complete it, he would be a sinner.

Even if the queen doesn't say anything or punish her, can she feel at ease?

Therefore, Mr. Liu is all-or-nothing at this moment, and even bets his wealth and life on it.

This time he set off with hundreds of people, followed by grain trucks one after another. These grains were the stepping stone to appease the people.

When we arrived at the surrounding cities again, the people were still very hesitant, and no one knew whether they would succeed in the end.

However, at this time, after Mr. Liu appeased everyone, he told Su Ruchun's plan, and the people were stunned.

There is also such a good thing, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the food will be divided first.

In other words, there is no need to worry about poor production next year, as they have enough food to last.

No matter how much you harvest by then, it will all be earned.

With this thought in mind, everyone was very excited and took the food over again, and this time sweet potato seeds were also distributed.

Three people from one village needed to receive it, and there were no mistakes in every village.

And this time, the village chiefs were also told not to open the door again if someone came to their door in the middle of the night. That person might be a spy from the enemy country.

The village chiefs were immediately frightened, and this was indeed the case if they thought about it carefully.

If he wasn't a spy from the enemy country, why would he do such a thing?

What's the benefit to them from doing something like this?

Thinking of this, the village chiefs ambush several people in the yard in order to protect themselves, as did dozens of surrounding villages.

Sure enough, someone knocked on the door again in the middle of the night, and this time, the other party showed more sincerity.

As long as the village chief is willing to destroy and listen to their advice and not plant properly, then he will give twenty taels of silver.

This is not a small amount of money, it is really touching.

However, even if they gave so much money, they could not betray their court.

So with a roar, many people and soldiers rushed in from the courtyard and came to catch turtles in an urn.
