The last time Zhao Feng came back, although he didn't tell Chen Rou that there was a battle for land in the court, he did tell Chen Rou some things about the princes.
In fact, Chen Rou could tell from the feedback from some officials about the situation in the court that the second prince was currently the most powerful prince in the entire capital.
He had previously defeated the Huns and driven the Huns' cavalry back to the grasslands. Although he didn't understand why he didn't get the rewards he deserved, the reputation of the second prince had slowly become louder.
Among the many princes, only the second prince and the fourth prince received much attention in the capital. The second prince was because of his own martial arts, and the fourth prince was because of his talent.
The two of them were both civil and military, and they were the most talked-about existences among the officials in the capital. Many officials even came to the newspaper and posted articles constantly praising the achievements of the two princes, which made Chen Rou feel that there was a certain connection between the two princes. There is some kind of struggle that is not known to outsiders.
"It's strange. Could it be that he wants to seize the legitimate son? But I haven't heard that His Majesty has any health problems!"
Chen Rou frowned. Although some officials informed about the relevant submissions, the information obtained through these officials' submissions was still too little.
After all, unlike when Zhao Feng was in the capital before, Zhao Feng could learn about some situations in the capital and tell Chen Rou.
Now Chen Rou wants to get some information about the situation in the court. Apart from relying on the submissions of those officials, she can only rely on her own guesses.
But Chen Rou is not very sensitive, so she is still a little unclear about the situation in the court.
However, Chen Rou knew that if the second prince wanted to target them, it would be very difficult to solve it.
Although the second prince does not have any official position on the surface and is not a prince, his identity has aroused the fawning of many people. They believe that supporting the second prince in seizing the crown prince can bring them some benefits, so that they all Support the second prince, and want the second prince to shine in the capital, so as to pave the way for the future.
Under such circumstances, the second prince didn't even need to think of a way to deal with them on his own. He only needed to convey his intention to deal with them to the officials, and the officials would do it themselves.
Maybe the high-ranking officials above the court wouldn't do it so blatantly, but the low-ranking officials below would want to rely on this method to get closer to the second prince.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is better than the devil, and this is actually the truth.
Chen Rou thought this in her heart, turned to Shen Chuchu and said.
"Before, I wanted you to go home first, but now it seems that even if you go home, it will be of no use."
"The root cause of these matters still lies here in the capital, and we can only solve them through the capital."
Shen Chuchu nodded in agreement, then lowered her voice and said.
"Why does the second prince want to deal with us this time? Is it because my husband and the fourth prince are too close, so we are regarded as enemies by the second prince?"
Hearing this, Chen Rou shook her head in thought. Although Shen Chuchu's statement sounded reasonable, Chen Rou felt that it was not such a simple reason.
"It seems that I still need to write a letter to my husband. I originally thought that if it was just some officials doing these things, we could solve it by giving gifts or something like that, but I didn't expect that it was the second prince. It seems that I can only let my husband figure it out."
Shen Chuchu also nodded slightly. Although they knew that Zhao Feng must have a lot of things to do, they had no way to solve the situation themselves and could only find a way to write to Zhao Feng.
Chen Rou wrote a letter directly and sent someone to deliver it to Zhou Tong's fief.
When these things were happening in the capital, Zhao Feng didn't know anything about it in Zhou Tong's fiefdom. Instead, he let the workers build a brick-burning factory.
"You only need to put the mixed clay into the mold and flatten it, shape it into a square shape, and then you can demould."
As Zhao Feng said this, he pushed the bricks out of the mold, and finally dipped the mold in water. This would prevent the clay from sticking to the inner wall when it was put into the mold, causing difficulty in demoulding. occur.
Seeing Zhao Feng's actions, the workers around him nodded vigorously. Most of these workers were ordinary people with limited mobility or poor health.
Zhou Tong's fiefdom has been under intensive construction, but many jobs are not suitable for these people, and no one can guarantee that the people who move here will be strong.
Even for those who are able-bodied, there will definitely be some elderly people with limited mobility at home, so now this easy job is just right for them, and they can also earn some money to support their families.
After hearing what Zhao Feng said, the workers nodded vigorously. Although they worked here for a day, the money they earned was not as good as those who did labor, but the wages were already high compared to other places.
In addition to the work of making bricks, Zhao Feng also prepared some other easier tasks for them. It is precisely because Zhao Feng took care of all the people and did not treat them differently that they were allowed to come here. There are more and more people.
You must know that most of the people who moved here came here because they couldn't survive in their hometown and couldn't find a way to survive. If there was a chance of survival, who would be willing to leave their hometown?
Therefore, although these people cannot provide much labor force, their families can also generate income for the local area.
This is also part of Zhao Feng's humanistic care and construction of the fiefdom, and even provides subsidies to some older people, so as to attract more people to come here.
From the current point of view, the results of these people coming here are pretty good.
Because there are more and more people, the place has become more prosperous. Only with more people living can the local economy prosper.
Even the elderly people still have certain consumption needs, and Zhou Tong's fiefdom is currently under initial construction. Only the more people here can attract more businessmen here.
"Mr. Zhao, you are such a good person. If you came up with these simple jobs, we would be idle at home, and we wouldn't even be able to farm!"
"Yes, now we can live such a good life and become richer day by day, all thanks to Mr. Zhao!"
After hearing their words, Zhao Feng's lips showed a smile.
