    Douhuaer successfully settled in Zhongcui Palace and became a maid in Zhongcui Palace.  Of course, this little maid will not attract too much attention from Zhu Cixiang.

    "However, because she was the queen's empress, the palace attendants in Zhongcui Palace, such as Sanxi, became Douhua'er's licking dogs.

    "One mouthful is a Douhua'er girl, Douhua'er girl's."  The flattery is melodious, and it is the saddle for Douhuaer.

    Douhuaer is a person who has experienced life, death, and the harshness of the world. She is more than ten years old and has rich experiences that are different from her age.  As soon as Douhuaer arrived, she put Zhongcui Palace in order.

    In the past, Zhong Cuigong was laid-back and lazy, and Zhu Cixiang was a very nervous person. He turned a blind eye to the palace people around him.  For example, Sanxi's gang, whether it's tidying up the house or cleaning the yard, they can do whatever they can to fool them.

    The entire Forbidden City was kept spotless, except for the Zhongcui Palace, which had fallen leaves everywhere and the palace was a little messy.  Zhu Cixiang seemed to be accustomed to all this, so just be lazy. Anyway, Zhongcui Palace rarely had outsiders come to it on weekdays.

    After a busy day at Fusi in Beizhen, Zhu Cixiang was a little tired when he returned to Zhongcui Palace.  Suddenly, he had the illusion that he had entered the wrong door.  In fact, Zhu Cixiang had to take a few steps back and re-examine the appearance of Zhongcui Palace.

    Even Sun Wangcai, the eunuch next to Zhu Cihong, couldn't help scratching his head: "Your Highness, something seems to be wrong. Why is our palace so clean?"

    Zhu Cixiang also felt the same way. Zhongcui Palace was completely renewed inside and out.  The entire courtyard was swept clean, not a single fallen leaf was left.  The floor tiles were rinsed with clean water and then carefully swept.  The doors and windows in the palace were even wiped spotless.

    When Zhu Cixiang stepped on the ground, he felt as if he would make the floor tiles dirty.

    This kind of cleanliness, which is similar to mysophobia, makes Zhu Cixiang feel uncomfortable all over.  He is a carefree person who doesn't stick to trivial matters: "Sun Banban, who did this?"

    How did Wangcai know? He shook his head in confusion: "If I return to His Highness, my servants will not know."

    The back garden of Cining Palace no longer belongs to Zhu Cihong at this moment.  Emperor Chongzhen felt like he had found a treasure and protected all the crops in the back garden of Cining Palace.  These are the hopes for the future of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the imperial court will be in charge of the planting and maintenance of crops in the back garden of the Forbidden City.

    At the same time, the land in Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing has decided to plant all these crops next year.  If nothing else goes wrong, the high yields of Huangzhuang's land will make these crops popularized by the imperial court.

    "It won't take three to five years. Even if there is no need for the imperial court to conquer, I'm afraid those rogue bandits will collapse without a fight."  After all, when people have enough to eat, who would want to be a precarious refugee?

    Huangzhuang, a farmland directly managed by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.  One says it started in the Yongle period, and the other says it started in the eighth year of Tianshun.  It developed rapidly during the reign of Emperor Wuzong. Within one month after he ascended the throne, seven Huangzhuang locations were added, and later to more than 30 locations.

    In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the emperor Zhuang Tian, ??the imperial village also had the empress dowager and the crown prince Zhuang Tian.  The emperor's farmland was "self-managed" land managed by eunuchs appointed by the emperor.  The income of Huangzhuang Zili or Huangzhuang Zili silver is directly controlled by the eunuch of Guanzhuang and is at the discretion of the palace.  The empress dowager's farmland was also called Gongzhuang. In the historical records of the Ming Dynasty, it was mostly called the three palace farms of Renshou, Qingning and Weiyang.  The grains of silver collected every year are called the grains of silver from the three palaces.  The amount of land occupied is also quite large.

    The Crown Prince's Zhuangtian is the East Palace Zhuangtian.  In the third year of Tianshun's reign, Emperor Yingzong gave Tangshan Village in Changping County, Baita Village in Sanhe County, and No. 4 Changguan Village outside Chaoyangmen to the East Palace.  During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, the prince was also given the land of East Palace Village, which was planned to be Wuzhuang.

    In other words, Zhu Cixi actually had his own imperial estate, but he was not good at managing it and had never been there.  The income and expenditure of Huangzhuang belongs to Empress Zhou every year, and Zhu Cixiang has no right to interfere at his young age.

    In the second year of Hongzhi, there were five Huangzhuangs in Ji Nei, with a total area of ??more than 12,800 hectares.  The imperial village was established in the ninth year of Zhengde, covering an area of ??more than 37,500 hectares.  Most of the internal management personnel of Huangzhuang are directly appointed by the palace to manage the village eunuchs. There are also dozens of people from official schools, village heads, family members, etc.

    After Jiajing, Ming Dynasty sent Xia Yan to inspect Huangzhuang, and renamed part of Huangzhuang official land. At the same time, Huangzhuang management personnel who managed their own business were withdrawn, and were replaced by prefecture and county officials sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs, that is, "Yousi managed it."  But in fact, the method of collecting Huangzhuangzili or Huangzhuangzili silver by the eunuchs was maintained until the end of the Ming Dynasty without any change.

    Emperor Chongzhen decided to replace all the imperial villages in Gyeonggi with new crop seeds introduced by Zhu Cixi next year.  As for whether it can be popularized in the north, it depends on the harvest of Huangzhuang next year.

    After all, the few acres of land in Cining Palace are just experimental fields. What is the real purpose of these agricultural works?Whether crops can be grown and popularized in the north, only experiments can reveal the truth.

    Zhu Cihong and Sun Wangcai, who had just returned to Zhongcui Palace, took a closer look and it seemed that they were not going to their own home.

    At this moment, the palace door creaked open, and Sanxi and several palace attendants from Zhongcui Palace came out to salute Zhu Cixiang: "Your Highness, your servants, welcome you."

    Zhu Cixiang looked around, clasping his hands behind his back: "Okay, Sanxi, I'm so impressed by you. I just left this morning, and you cleaned this place so clean when you came back. That's good, keep up the good work."

    At this time, Sanxi is usually inflated, but he knows that the credit does not belong to him, and he does not dare to take the credit.  Because that little girl Douhuaer was the person appointed by the Queen.

    Douhuaer is just a little palace maid, nothing special.  But the backstage was powerful, and she was the Queen. Originally, the Queen had some complaints about the palace people in the East Palace, saying that these slaves did not serve the prince well.

    Now that Douhuaer is here, all the credit should go to her. This Sanxi is still a bit self-aware.

    So, Sanxi came forward like a dog and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. What kind of slave is this slave? How can he have such ability? It's Miss Douhuaer. Miss Douhuaer led the slaves to bring Zhongcui into the palace.  I¡¯ve been cleaning outside all day.¡±

    Zhu Cixiang frowned, and then he realized that there was a timid little palace maid in the crowd who was not from Zhongcui Palace: "You are from Qianqing Palace, right?"

    Zhu Cixiang¡¯s memory is surprisingly good. He remembered this little palace maid.  Although she kept her head down all the time, her frail figure and her unique and indescribable temperament made Zhu Cixiang remember her.

    "My slave, Douhua'er, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness, according to the Queen Mother's decree, this slave will exclusively serve His Highness's food and daily life. Please, Your Highness, don't dislike this slave's clumsiness."

    Zhu Cixiang laughed: "You are called clumsy. You are much stronger than these people in my hands. Okay, get up. You don't have to be nervous, I am very easy to take care of." (Note  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
