In the past few days, Zi'er has also made people pay a little attention to Qin Guangguang, except for the palace banquet, Qin Guangguang has not been in contact with the envoys of any country in private, so there are still no useful clues about the token of the previous dynasty. \ After the envoys from various countries left Xirui, Zi'er also soon went to Yanzhou with Beichenluo, Yanzhou's territory is very large, but because the land is barren, and because there is a Dingjia army sitting in the battle, the people feel that there is a Dingjia army, even if there is a war, the Dingjia army will definitely be able to protect the people, so those people who have left their hometowns because of various natural disasters and man-made disasters If they can, they will try to go to Yanzhou to settle down, so the population of Yanzhou is also increasing, but because of the barren land, although Beichenluo has been very careful to govern, but the people's lives, I can only barely fill my stomach.
After learning about the situation in Yanzhou, Zi'er also understood why Beichenluo had so many industries, but she couldn't save much silver, she thought it was because of too much military salary, and now it seems that there are too many people in Yanzhou and the land is barren, which is also the reason why Beichenluo spends money like water.
Shangjing City is more than 1,000 miles away from Yanzhou, Yanzhou is adjacent to several countries, the east is the Ziyun Kingdom, the south is the Xia Ming Kingdom, the west is the Dawan Kingdom, the emperor of the Xirui Kingdom gave the fief of the king of Dingzhou here, and it is also hoped to use the Dingjia army to suppress and prevent those countries.
It is precisely because of the barren land and many mountains in Yanzhou that the fief of King Dingwang will be so large.
Zi'er and Beichenluo were not in a hurry along the way, it took half a month to get from Shangjing to Yanzhou.
Entering the realm of Yanzhou, Beichenluo talked a lot more, and from time to time introduced the scenery and customs along the way, the specialties and economic conditions of various places to Zi'er.
Beichenluo is very familiar with every place in Yanzhou, thinking that over the years, he has really worked hard to govern, but due to geographical reasons, even if he cares hard, he can't let the people of Yanzhou live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.
The original founding emperor of Xirui was selfish, and set the fief of King Ding here, so that they could guard against the enemy country, but gave King Ding the most barren land, what is the use of a large area, even if such land is mined, it will not be able to grow food.
If it weren't for the 300,000 Dingjia troops stationed here, how could Xirui have lived in peace for so many years, and the surrounding countries had long been eyeing Xirui country, but they were afraid that the war between countries would have broken out long ago.
Along the way, the business of the cities of Yanzhou is still relatively prosperous, although business can drive the development of the economy, but in this era, grain is the fundamental, if you want to transport grain from other places, the freight alone will be a lot more.
Moreover, the people of Yanzhou do not have anything to exchange for money, most of them can only rely on the harvest in the field, and in order to develop commerce, Yanzhou City has tried its best to give preferential treatment to the merchants who come, although the business is prosperous, but the tax can not support the weekday expenses, if it is not filled by industries from all over Beichenluo, it will definitely not be able to make ends meet.
"Lord Wang, I just found out that you are so poor now."
Zi'er lowered the curtain of the car, and in the villages she passed by just now, she saw mostly houses with mud walls and straw houses, and most of the houses where the people lived along the way were like this.
Compared to many places in Xirui Kingdom, Yanzhou is really relatively poor.
"Yes, this king is incompetent, watching the people suffer, but he is helpless."
Beichen Luo picked up the book on the side, although his face was still cold, but Zi'er knew that he must be uncomfortable in his heart.
"Actually, I think that although the land in Yanzhou is barren, if you want the people to be fed and clothed, there is no way."
It is not far from Yanzhou City, and along the way, Zi'er has a clear understanding of the situation in Yanzhou, and has also thought about what can be done to solve the problem of poor land and low grain production in Yanzhou.
In fact, Zi'er thinks that although the grain output in Yanzhou is not high, there are many other crops here, such as medicinal materials, tea, fungi, etc., but the people here do not know those medicinal materials, and they are not good at making tea.
As for all kinds of mushrooms, if the people learn how to grow them, and then dry those fungi and sell them to other places, it is also a good income.
As for the barrenness of the land, Zi'er didn't have much to do, after all, although she had learned a lot before, she really hadn't learned how to farm.
However, after reading various heroines in some travel novels, if you improve the soil, and then what crops are suitable for planting in what place, etc., I don't know if it will have any effect.
Because many of those traversal farming texts have descriptions of how the heroine changes the soil, Zi'er really doesn't know how many similar texts she has read, so she remembers some.
However, planting medicinal herbs, identifying medicinal herbs, planting tea leaves, making tea and roasting tea, these are not difficult for her.
Medicinal herbs and tea have been in contact with since she was sensible, and she knows them very well.
And even if she doesn't understand, she can ask someone to teach the people here.
When Beichen Luo heard Zi'er's words, he thought he had misheard, and raised his eyes to look at Zi'er, but saw that she was pondering.
Zi'er came back to her senses and saw Beichen Luo staring at herself, Zi'er blinked, "Did you ask me just now?"
"You just said that there is a way" Beichen Luo didn't know if he heard it wrong, but it was clear if he asked.
Zi'er smiled and nodded: "I think there are some things that can be done, if they are done well, they will definitely make the people live a good life." ” "Along the way, you also know about Yanzhou, how do you think you can get the people out of the hard life in front of you" Zi'er's smart Beichenluo has always believed in it, and she often brings surprises to herself, maybe she really has a way.
"Let's go all the way, passing by a lot of mountains and forests, there must be a lot of medicinal materials in the forest, as well as tea, the geographical environment of Yanzhou, I think it is very suitable for planting medicinal materials and tea, if we strengthen the degree of attention in these two aspects, and then plant some mountain goods produced in the mountains, the people will definitely be able to live a good life."
Even if we don't grow more food, if we have the silver, we can afford it, even if it's more expensive.
And if we produce a lot of medicinal materials and tea here, attract a lot of merchants to come, and when those merchants come to buy medicinal materials and tea, they will transport the grain to sell at the same time, so that even if the freight is added, the price of the grain will not be too expensive. ” The more Zi'er thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, medicinal herbs and tea are all precious things here, the price is not low, and the medicinal herbs and tea produced here are excellent, if the people all grow these, they will definitely be able to prosper the business here, attract more businessmen to come, and also increase the income of the people.
At that time, it will no longer be a luxury for the people to be fed and clothed.
And this is under the rule of King Ding, the law and order are strict, and there will be no all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, such a business environment is what businessmen like, and they don't have to worry about danger if they make money, so why worry about them not coming.
Beichen Luo thought about what Zi'er said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but if he wanted the people to plant medicinal herbs and tea instead of food, they would definitely feel that their lives were completely insecure, so there were not many people who were willing to plant.
"Food is the foundation of people's lives, so let them give up growing food and plant medicinal herbs and tea instead, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to implement."
Beichen Luo expressed his worries, in front of Zi'er, he has always said any difficulties.
Zi'er likes him very much, which makes her feel that in Beichen Luo's heart, they are equal, and he doesn't have the kind of discrimination in his heart because she is a woman.
"I didn't say that the people should not grow food, food must be planted, those fertile fields cannot be moved, and we have to find a way to change the soil situation, try to make the soil more fertile, and the grain produced will be higher.
As for medicinal herbs and tea, we can all encourage the people to open up the wasteland and use the wasteland that is not good for growing food to grow medicinal herbs and tea, after all, these things, some wasteland in the mountains is more suitable for planting. ” The cold color on Beichen Luo's face completely faded, and it was the first time Zi'er was so excited to see him, his eyes full of hope and expectation were so bright and bright, Zi'er looked at it in a daze, and for a while, she forgot to stagger her eyes.
"Zi'er, thank you, the method you said must be feasible, you are really the lucky star of this king, and the lucky star of the entire people of Yanzhou."
Beichen Luo grabbed Zi'er's hand tightly, Zi'er looked at him blankly, one of them was excited, the other was sluggish, so neither of them knew that they were so close at the moment, so close that they could feel each other's exhalation.
The mountain road is difficult, and it has just rained, and when passing by a small waterhole, the carriage jolted, which also made Zi'er and Beichenluo come back to their senses.
"Ahem, look at you excited, your hands have been scratched out of the mark."

Zi'er stretched out her hand, wanting to withdraw her hand from Beichen Luo's palm, this girl's palm is so big and warm.
A hint of shyness flashed in Zi'er's eyes, but when she reached out to come back, she had already lowered her eyes, otherwise she would have let Beichen Luo look at it.
Beichen Luo didn't let go of Zi'er's hand immediately, the weak and boneless little hand was tightly wrapped by his big palm, and Beichen Luo knew that her hand was so weak and petite.
"I said Lord, even if you are excited, you can't hold on to me, let's take it slowly, take a deep breath, calm your excitement, you are a dignified king, how can you be so out of shape."
Zi'er found that her heartbeat seemed to be much faster, and she suspected that if this girl was holding her hand like this, her heart was about to jump out, it was really useless, wasn't it just that she was grabbed by a man When she was in the army, she didn't touch a man's hand. oshow7:
