This thought flashed through Shengze's mind, but he didn't think about it deeply. He could know what Shen Qingqian meant just by looking at the literal meaning.
"In addition to asking for food from the imperial court, increasing food taxes, and purchasing food from outside, we can also find ways to 'borrow' it from other places." Shengze said solemnly.
borrow? Shen Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant by "borrowing", and she was immediately speechless.
"Your Highness, you are so... so unreasonable. In the long run, of course, we must find a way to solve the problem from the source!"
Shen Qingqian knew that the tone and words she spoke now were different from usual, but she couldn't control that much, especially since she finally didn't need to cover up, so let her say enough with revenge at once!
Shengze asked: "How to solve it?"
Of course he also knows that the food problem must be solved fundamentally, but with the environment in northern Hubei, no matter how hard the people work, they can't double their food production, right?
"I have been thinking about this issue a few days ago, but it was useless to think about it any more at that time." Shen Qingqian raised her hand to tuck the fallen strands of hair behind her ears, looked at Shengze calmly and said, "I can tell you What you and I think, but let me make it clear first that this is not free.”
The look on her face that said "I will never do useless work" made Shengze want to laugh a little. He raised the corners of his lips and asked, "What do you want Qianqian?"
Shen Qingqian frowned when she heard his name, but soon felt relieved. It was just a title. He could call him whatever he wanted. Anyway, even if she corrected him, couldn't he still be called that way behind his back?
"In the process of executing these things, you can count the money how you want. In addition to this, the most important thing is that you must promise to ensure the safety of my family."
Shen Qingqian looked directly into Shengze's eyes, trying to see his subtle emotions from his eyes.
The smile on Shengze's lips faded slightly, and he looked at Shen Qingqian seriously and sincerely, "Whether you help the Northern Hubei Army tide over the difficulties or not, I will ensure their safety."
The reason why Shen Jun and Shen Shanneng were arranged to take care of the medicine field so smoothly was not because of Doctor Hu's reputation, but because he had revealed it to Liang Cheng before, asking him to take more care of the Shen family.
"Okay, let me tell you my overall idea first, and then you can tell the general when I get back. Some things require his intervention." Shen Qingqian nodded.
"In fact, to solve this problem, we must take a two-pronged approach. First, we must find ways to increase the yield of crops in northern Hubei. Second, we must work hard to generate income and consciously buy food outside. In addition, we must have other supporting measures..."
This was something Shen Qingqian had thought about before, and now it was clear and logical, not in a hurry.
After hearing her thoughts, Shengze felt enlightened.
He had never been exposed to farming, and his father's previous teachings to him were all about how to be a qualified king. His master taught him nothing but skills and character, and no specific information about people's livelihood.
When I heard Shen Qingqian say slogans such as "If you want to get rich, you must first build a road" and "Walking alone is fast, but traveling together is far", I was really shocked for a moment.
"...As the saying goes, if a group of people, with one dream and one mind, work together, it will definitely work! As long as the enthusiasm of the people in northern Hubei is mobilized, there will be no big problem in whatever you want to do."
Shen Qingqian's mouth went dry after talking, so she simply took a cup from the system warehouse, filled it with water in front of Shengze, and drank it in one gulp.
Shengze: "..." Is this trusting him or what?
