The reason why there are frequent famines in the Zhou Dynasty now, and food is related to the lives of many people, is because not only are there no hybrid rice from later generations, but there are also no corn, potatoes, wheat and other food varieties.
Zhao Feng couldn't get corn and potatoes, but there were many wild wheat varieties in the Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Feng only needed to screen out the non-toxic ones, and then he could increase the wheat yield through hybridization.
This is something Zhao Feng started doing when he was in the capital. At that time, it was to promote the New Deal, and then let people all over the world have cheap food to buy.
But unexpectedly, although the wheat seeds were successfully cultivated, he would end up on Zhou Tong's fiefdom.
Although this made Zhao Feng dumbfounded, he also felt that this was a good development opportunity.
After all, Zhao Feng's land is actually not suitable for growing rice. Even if it is forced to grow, the yield will not be particularly high, so it is better to plant some wheat that is suitable for the soil conditions here.
In addition to these food crops, Zhao Feng also grows some cash crops, such as soybeans and cotton.
Soybeans can be used to extract oil. At the same time, beans are also a relatively cheap and easy-to-obtain food, but eating too much will not be good.
Cotton is specially prepared to promote cotton cloth.
Zhao Feng knew that the cotton grown on this piece of land could not be used by all the people, so he had to turn this cotton into high-end fabric. Only in this way could many people switch to growing cotton and make money by growing cotton. money to buy food.
All the people will plant cotton, and then the price of cotton will become cheaper, so that people all over the world can use cotton cloth, and can afford cotton-padded jackets and quilts in winter.
This is exactly what Zhou Tong told Zhao Feng before, to carry out reforms in aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After Zhao Feng dealt with these matters, he was still worried.
On the way back, he encountered those killers who came to assassinate him. They were obviously coming specifically for him, so Zhao Feng specially transferred all the militiamen from Zhao County.
But after the militiamen arrived here, after a strict investigation, they found no suspicious person at all. Even Zhao Feng deliberately exposed himself in front of those people, leaving some opportunities for those people, but no one took action.
This made Zhao Feng couldn't help but guess, are those people afraid to come to Zhou Tong's fiefdom?
If that's the case, what's the use of preparing yourself every day?
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh, saying that there is no reason for China and Japan to guard against thieves. Now he has to guard against them every day, so that he is not exhausted mentally and physically.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng waved his hand and told all the militiamen who had secretly followed him to go back.
"No matter, since you won't show up, then forget it."
"Anyway, even if you really come to kill me, it's not certain whether you can kill me. I'm not the kind of soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others!"
Zhao Feng thought this in his heart and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Since these people are not coming, Zhao Feng no longer needs to guard against them.
In fact, Zhao Feng's guess was good. Those people did not dare to come to Zhou Tong's fiefdom, otherwise they would not have chosen to attack Zhao Feng and the others on their way back.
It's not that they can't sneak in here, but it will be very difficult to kill Zhao Feng and escape after sneaking in. After all, Zhou Tong also has his own private soldiers here.
If they are really caught, by investigating their identities, they can find out who sent them here. Those people are simply not willing to take such a risk.
Compared with killing Zhao Feng, they were more worried about their identity being exposed, so even if they sent out killers, they did not dare to be too blatant and there was no chance of being exposed at all.
If they can't be found on their heads, even Zhou Zhen has nothing to say, but if Zhao Feng is really killed and they are implicated, it will definitely shock the court.
They came up with this idea after seeing Zhou Zhen's attitude towards Zhao Feng.
In the next month or two, Zhao Feng vigorously developed the businesses on Zhou Tong's land, including those of Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu, and they all moved here, including the cosmetics manufacturing workshops. All moved here.
The policies on Zhou Tong's fiefdom are completely in accordance with the policies formulated by Zhao Feng. This not only provides the best place for businessmen to do business, but also allows the tax revenue here not to be reduced at all, but is far behind other companies. The place.
Even the officials in the court now have to admit that doing business is indeed the most profitable industry. This does not mean making money for the businessmen, but making money for the country.
This year, the taxes paid by the businesses in Zhou Tong's fiefdom were even more than half of the taxes paid in other places, filling the national treasury.
This made many officials regret it. If they had been firmer, would they have been able to generate more tax revenue by supporting Zhao Feng's policies? This way you can get promoted!
But there is no use regretting it. Now Zhao Feng has been basically excluded from the court. Although he still retains his original official position, he is in a situation where he is outside the court.
The officials in the court were inevitably ridiculed by Zhou Zhen every day when they went to court. They listened to it so many times that their ears were almost calloused.
People from the four major families came to find Feng Shen. Although they now belong to different camps, the four major families are still essentially the same.
Therefore, even if some families will profit from supporting the right prince, they will not suppress other families too much. After all, only these four major families can control all aspects of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Prime Minister, Her Royal Highness's fiefdom is so friendly to merchants that many merchants from the Zhou Dynasty have passed there. Should we think of a way?"
"Even if we can't take away all of Zhao Feng's business, we still have to find a way to cause trouble for him, otherwise he will make more and more money, and his voice in the court will be even higher than before! "
After hearing what these people said, Feng Shen laughed and said indifferently.
"I asked you to kill him through that method before, but you failed. Now you know you are anxious, right?"
The members of the four major families could not help but sigh slightly. Who would have thought that their assassination failed?
"Don't worry, I have already prepared it. There is a businessman named Jin in the south of the Yangtze River. His name is Jin Daya. Have you heard of this person?"
