Chapter 73: 好好规划一下

Let’s plan it properly for a while

　　　

He did remember that at that time, the Emperor had ordered that the food and clothing given to the Cold Palace must be according to the Empress’s requirements.

It could be said that this was a serious dereliction of duty on his part.

Fortunately, the Emperor was not yet aware of this and the Niang Niang of the Cold Palace did not have the intention to fuss over this matter with them.

As a result, these days, the Imperial Household Department always sends supplies to the Cold Palace with special diligence and thoughtfulness.

Fear that this Niang Niang in front of the Emperor, mentioned the previous things.

After the people from the Imperial Household Department, the people from the Internal Court Department also came.

Bringing forty palace maids and ten eunuchs over.

These palace maids and eunuchs were originally when they reached certain age, they should be out of the palace, but because of this year delayed a year, they previously work in washing clothes division has been replaced by the newcomers and arranged for other people, therefore the rest of these, they don’t know how to arrange,so they were just sent to the Cold Palace.

Yin Shuang checked the directory of these palace maids and eunuchs, and the people of the inner imperial residence department left.

Yin Shuang simply did a registration of their name, and after explaining some things, let them go back first, wait for tomorrow morning for them to come back.

These palace maids and eunuchs are all taking the palace’s regular silver, there is a unified accommodation, but they do not need to arrange the accommodation.

When they were about to leave, Lu Yunluo let Yin Shuang give each of them a steamed bun and two stuffed buns. The palace maids and eunuchs did not expect that only on the first day coming to the Cold Palace and work had not begun yet they already ate the legendary food that made out of the acres of ten dan of grain. 

Some of them saw the meat inside when they took the first bite, so they were even more touched.

Knowing that these eunuchs and palace maids who are not serving beside their master’s food were basically made at the same time, if they were late, they would be hungry. 

Normally, there is also very little meat, basically it also can not fill the stomach.

At once, they all made up their minds to do their work properly in the cold palace.

Lu Yunluo’s unintentional actions had won the good opinions of the vast majority of people.

The next morning, the eunuchs and palace maids who came over to work, came early and waited at the entrance of the Cold Palace.

Lu Yunluo first selected six palace maids who could cook. Later, they would be responsible for the food of these people over here.

The rest was divided into three groups and let them decide for three group leaders.

Sister Zhou arranged one of the groups and took them to the back of the side of the deserted sleeping quarters to tidy up and pack their things, then, add some beds, at noon time, they would be able to have lunch break over there.

The kitchen for them to cook as well as the canteen are all on here.

The other three groups were first transporting the harvested wheat yesterday to the large temporary drying yard. 

She looked at the weather forecast on the stone tablet. It was going to rain again in a few days, and it was still a continuous rainy day.

Only on these few days, the weather was good, the temperature was high. After harvesting, it could be dried at high temperature and put into storage to prevent mould and insects.

Because there is no oxcart, we can only carry the bundles one by one to the large temporary drying ground, where a thick layer of cloth has already been spread on the ground.

These clothes that the Imperial Household Department sent. The design and colors are very good, but unfortunately she did not have time to use it to make clothes and to cover the wheat.

This side of the cold palace, in addition to the bedchamber, is basically soil floor, not a single cover on top of it, so the wheat is not easy to dry in the sun. 

The next step is to thresh grain (on the field) and winnow it.

Lu Yunluo saw nothing wrong then returned to the bedroom.

　

This simple agricultural department of hers was considered to be established.

Next, she would have to plan it well for a while and use all of those three hundred acres of barren land.

According to the yield, those two acres of land would be about two thousand pounds, and one acre of land would require almost twenty pounds of seeds, which, when calculated, would only be used to plant a hundred acres.
