Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"My Lord, have you found any news?"

Liu Ruyan asked Prince Heng.

Liu Ruyan sent people to build a greenhouse behind the Hengwang Mansion to simulate the weather in April and May to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. She had already planted the 1,000 kilograms of grain before the Chinese New Year, and then planted them well, and they could be harvested after the Chinese New Year. By April, the 1,000 kilograms would become tens of thousands of kilograms, and if these tens of thousands of kilograms were planted, by the second half of next year, there would be hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

Whether giving some to those who are attached to the prince before April, or giving some to others in September, it can help the prince win over many people.

When Prince Heng returned to the palace, he heard the butler report that Concubine Liu was in the greenhouse in the backyard of Prince Heng's palace, so he went to check immediately.

In just ten days, more than half of the seeds have sprouted, and some are growing very well.

"Yan'er, can these really succeed?"

Prince Heng still didn't quite believe it. After all, it took a lot of effort to build this greenhouse. If it didn't work, the thousand kilograms of grain would be ruined. Although he could use the methods of the noble family to get some more grain.

But if they lacked a thousand kilograms of grain seeds, they would be one step behind their imperial brothers.

Hearing Prince Heng's words, Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. This matter will definitely succeed."

Liu Ruyan took Prince Heng to see the several greenhouses where she planned to grow vegetables.

"Look, these vegetables were planted by me a while ago. Although they don't grow very well, if they are planted in large quantities in the winter, we will definitely make a lot of money..."

Prince Heng looked at the vegetables and then looked at Concubine Liu with surprise.

"Yan'er, you are amazing. You can grow vegetables in winter..."

Prince Heng really felt that Liu Ruyan was like a treasure.

Liu Ruyan was indeed born in a Hanlin family, with great knowledge and talent, and now she managed the household affairs of the mansion very well. These methods that she had come up with now were of great help to him.

If these things are successful, even if the yield per mu is not 2,000 kilograms, but only more than 1,000 kilograms, we can still harvest several thousand kilograms or even more than 100,000 kilograms.

"Your Highness, we have to build more than 20 mu of greenhouses in the backyard so that we can grow all these things. I have already made arrangements in the farm. Although it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver this time, it will be of great help to Your Highness's cause..."

Yun Zhao had been ahead of her in all the previous things. But when it comes to greenhouse cultivation, she will never lose to Gu Zhao. Last year, she had already started the experiment, although the results were not very good. But her father helped her find some books on this subject in the Royal Library.

It is said that Emperor Taizu and Empress Taizu had planted greenhouses in the past, and now there are also greenhouses in the royal courtyards and imperial farms in the suburbs of Beijing, but the yield is also very low. The vegetables grown in these greenhouses are exclusively for the palace, and only the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress, and a few concubines can eat them.

"Your Majesty, these vegetables look good and are ready to eat. Would you like me to ask the kitchen to make a few dishes for you today?"

Hearing this, Prince Heng shook his head.

"Send someone to pick some good-looking ones now, pack them, and I will send them to the palace for my father and grandmother to eat."
