Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1436: Chapter 1135: Fix the Canal, Right?_1 Chapter 1436: Chapter 1135: Fix the Canal, Right?_1 Because of the reappearance of the Divine Liquid, Qiao Xiaomai’s long-gloomy mood finally improved somewhat, and she became even more proactive in thinking of solutions to the poverty problem of the Yuhu villagers.

One day, Yang Ye received news from the Capital City.

The spy found out where the Duan family had gone: Longshi Country.

“It’s that country whose Prince Fengbao wanted to snatch you back to be his princess but ended up being thrown out by you,” Yang Ye said.

Qiao Xiaomai immediately remembered, the image of Prince Fengbao’s ugly face and his blindingly flashy attire coming to mind, and she couldn’t help but curl her lips, “That’s perfect, it doesn’t matter if it’s Yuchi Country or Longshi Country, they both need to be dealt with.”

“Right, the spies are closely monitoring the Duan family’s movements, and they will inform us immediately of any unusual activity,” Yang Ye said as he put away the letter in his hand, expressing with a sigh, “In another ten days or half a month we can go back to the Capital.”

His tone was full of joy and emotion.

He had been jostled about outside for almost a year, and before he could even settle in the Capital, he had to rush out to find Qiao Xiaomai. He had spent most of this year on the road.

Thinking of the comfortable days in the Capital, he couldn’t resist extending his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, “The corn has been harvested, and Grandpa Emperor has built several large kang stoves at Field Manor, and the newly harvested corn has been planted again, waiting to be collected next spring.”

“With this year’s bumper crop of corn, he specifically reserved a hundred corn cobs for me.”

Thinking of the delicious taste of the corn, saliva started to secrete in his mouth.

And the chili peppers, they too were harvested and planted again, recalling the delicious taste of spicy crawfish, he couldn’t help but sit down at the desk, “I need to ask Ya Wuxia how his crawfish are doing.”

“There are so many delicious foods in the world to taste, a mere hundred years is far too short!”

These days Qiao Xiaomai had been cooking seafood in various ways, and he had gained weight from it!

He spread out the letter and spoke as he began to write, “I really want to go back to the Capital, but the seafood here is so tempting… Sigh, what a dilemma!”

Qiao Xiaomai was sitting next to him, holding a string of shell wind chimes and looking at them, hearing Yang Ye mutter and ramble on so much, her bright eyes spun around, and she spoke up, “Why don’t we build a canal?”

“A canal?” Yang Ye looked up at her, a bit surprised.

“I’ve looked at the map of Daqi, there are many rivers in it, and also many smaller rivers. If we could build a canal to connect these water systems, it would be much more convenient for people to travel and for merchants to transport goods.”

The canal Qiao Xiaomai was most familiar with was the Grand Canal from Beijing to Hangzhou in later times.

To say she was familiar was probably an overstatement, but she could clearly remember it mainly because of the catchy poem: Many say the fall of the Sui dynasty was because of this canal, yet its waves still flow a thousand miles to this day. Without the dragon boat affair at the water pavilion, one might compare its merits to those of Dayu.

The meaning of the poem was simple, it’s said that the Sui dynasty’s downfall was due to the construction of this canal, yet the canal is still flowing to this day. If the emperor who constructed the canal hadn’t used it for pleasure, his achievements might have matched those of Dayu.

The emperor who built the canal used it for his own enjoyment, but the Yang Family would definitely not do the same.

“Building a canal has many benefits: travel is more convenient than on land, a big ship carries more people and goods, it can improve the lives of the people living along the river, and there’re many other benefits.”

“If this big river could be extended to the Capital, then the fresh seafood could also be enjoyed there.”

“With my cooking skills, I can make money from these seafood, surely enough to recoup the silver spent on building the canal.”
