Feet as tender as water chestnuts stepped on the wooden bench, accompanied by the sound of water, the graceful figure was obscured by the steaming heat carrying petals into shadows.
Murong Xueyuan pursed her lips and looked at the candlelight not far away, lost in thought for a moment.
Hailanzhu's slender hands gently picked up the hot water, and the water droplets slid down, making a slight sound and causing ripples.
"Master, this servant feels that if greenhouses cannot be implemented in Yanyun land now, even the many kinds of sorghum are excellent. They are already abundant. It would be troublesome to build greenhouses and take care of them." Hai Lanzhu served Murong Xue Kite took a bath and said softly.
At this moment, the door was closed and there were no outsiders. The master and servant were chatting quietly, discussing the secret of how Murong Xueyuan came to power after returning to Yanyun.
When she saw Dapeng in Chang'an, the capital, she thought she had seen Yan Yun's future.
Who knew that when she returned to Yanyun and wanted to promote greenhouses, everyone was resistant.
Because greenhouses are troublesome to build and maintain, they are also laborious and laborious.
The key is that the people of Yanyun don't care much about the vegetables they produce. The fundamental reason is that they don't want the vegetables they grow to be sold directly to the Central Plains so that the people of Dagan people can eat them in winter. vegetables.
Murong Xueyuan did not expect that the first big thing she wanted to do after coming back would be so difficult.
During an autumn harvest sacrificial ceremony, she took action directly and used the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun to interrogate several original Eight Banners nobles.
Because she also understands that people's hearts are still in the hands of these people.
to be honest.
The Yan people did not trust the officials of the Dagan people very much.
I always feel that the officials in Daqian are all ferocious beasts, and they all want to treat them as slaves and oppress them.
If this concept cannot be changed, no matter how good the national policy is, it will be difficult to implement it in the Anton Protectorate.
Murong Xueyuan put her hands on the edge of the barrel and let Hai Lanzhu gently wash the lamb.
"The land of Yanyun is indeed suitable for growing millet and chestnuts, and you can get millet to eat. But if you can build greenhouses and grow vegetables in winter, the benefits will be much better than sorghum."
"In the final analysis, the Yan people are still not fully educated and are not as able to accept new things as the Central Plains people."
Hai Lanzhu said softly: "Master, we can't be too hasty. For example, first stabilize the people's hearts and train some of your own people to convince more people. When the time comes, the master gives an order to build a greenhouse, and everyone will naturally follow suit." I agreed.”
Murong Xueyuan sighed quietly and said: "I don't know how to win people's hearts. However, you have not seen that the Yan people's real right to speak is still with the nobles of the original Eight Banners."
"The Murong clan, the Dolguada clan, the Tong family, the Niu Hulu clan, etc., these people do not want to submit to me at all."
"In this case, I naturally cannot allow them to sit in the seats of the nobles of the Anton Protectorate."
"If you don't destroy it, you won't stand it. If you break it, you will stand it!"
Hai Lanzhu said "hmm". She actually didn't know much. After all, she was born as a slave, and her vision and thinking were several levels behind Murong Xueyuan's. However, after all, she was the person around Murong Xueyuan, but she also After reading and seeing, he knew something and said: "My master is devoted to the people of Yan. In order to make them live a good life, no matter what he does, it is right. They will definitely understand my good intentions in the future."
Murong Xueyuan pondered for a while and said: "I plan to promote Daqian's Di newspaper to local governments, and the newspaper readers will also include Yan people. In this way, ordinary people of Yan people can understand it."
Hai Lanzhu's eyes lit up and he said softly: "Master is wise. In this way, the people of Yan will also know the policies implemented by Da Qian. After reading and seeing, they will definitely change."
Murong Xueyuan said with emotion: "Well, I remember the prince said that the people can control it and let it go, but they cannot control it and know it."
"This is the case for the Yan people today. They were born in a bitter cold land, and even food and clothing are a problem. How can they know the truth?"
"Then I will find a way now to let them know the truth, know the etiquette and practice to cultivate their moral character, know how to keep fit and nourish their body and mind, know how to read, write and act to increase their wisdom, know how to take care of themselves and act autonomously, know how to think and act innovatively."
"The prince's words can enlighten the people's wisdom, and only then can they be enlightened."
"If Yan people are sensible and understand the national policy of Daqian, they will no longer be led by others."
Xiao Yi and Murong Xueyuan were together for more than just that.
Since you want Murong Xueyuan to become the queen, since you want her to go to Yanyun to govern the Yan people.
Naturally, it needs to be cultivated.
Just like Yue Hongling.
These two can be regarded as Daganqi women.
One is domineering, the other is king.
Good.
Hai Lanzhu nodded and said: "What His Highness the Crown Prince said is correct. Daqian is so strong now because of His Highness the Crown Prince's civil and martial arts."
She is now regarded as the loyal little fangirl of Prince Xiao Yi. From time to time, she speaks kind words about him in Murong Xueyuan's ears, and they are all words of praise.
At her age, and in addition, she has served Murong Xueyuan since she was a child, so she has some similarities with Murong Xueyuan, such as her vision and temperament.
In the past, the person she admired was Murong Yin.
When I arrived in the Central Plains, I met the Crown Prince of Daqianjian Kingdom, the real Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord in the world.
Learn more about the civil and martial arts of Prince Xiao Yi, especially the pacification of Xixia, Meng Yuan, and Beiyan, and the establishment of a powerful dynasty with a very large land area.
Naturally, he was very admired and almost fell to the ground.
The little girl Mu Qiangye.
Murong Xueyuan said "Hmm", her starry eyes were blank, and she sighed deeply in her heart.
Sometimes, she actually wishes she could be a woman like Yue Hongling, with that kind of life experience and that kind of martial arts.
Being able to follow Xiao Yi upright, being favored by Xiao Yi, and having his own achievements.
Unfortunately, she is the eldest princess of Beiyan. In terms of status, she has become the eldest princess of a subjugated country.
She is already inferior to others, not even comparable to Concubine Cai in the backyard of the East Palace.
When Murong Xueyuan finished bathing and changing clothes, she came to the bookshelf. Thinking of what Hai Lanzhu had just said, she took out a piece of letter paper and began to write attentively. But after a while, when she looked at the words on the letter paper, her cheeks turned as red as clouds. .
All this...what did she write?
Originally, I wanted to ask for political advice, but I had already finished writing a piece of paper. Instead, I wrote about how my current situation was, a little emotion, and how the baby in my belly was doing, etc.
This is not asking for advice.
This is clearly a pregnant wife's deep longing for her husband.
Murong Xueyuan was upset for a moment. She picked up the paper and tried to crumple it into a ball, but after a while, she felt reluctant to leave it for some reason.
It has been three months since I left the capital Chang'an.
I didn't realize that I missed him so much before, nor did I expect that he occupies such a high position in my heart.
All along, Murong Xueyuan felt that what she held in her heart was Yan people and meritorious deeds.
But today, maybe because I haven't seen him for three months, I still want to raise the butcher knife. After Hai Lanzhu said this in the evening, I had the idea to write a letter, but it turned out to be a love letter. .
Putting down the brush with her slender hand, she stared at the hazy moonlight outside the window in trance. Murong Xueyuan's starry eyes twinkled under her beautiful eyebrows. When her shyness gradually disappeared, an indescribable loneliness and desolation struck her heart.
In a daze, I thought of those days in Chang'an again.
But after a while.
Under Hai Lanzhu's reminder, he finally put the letter away and got up to rest.
Being pregnant makes me feel sleepy.
You cannot sit for long periods of time or stay up late, as this is not good for your baby or yourself.
…
Xiao Yi was in Luoyang, presiding over the major project of controlling floods in the two rivers in Daqian.
The first step is to change the previous sand dredging project to prevent floods, and instead adopt a plan of confining water to attack sand.
At the same time, I also met Chen Huang, a great talent in water control.
This person is really similar to that person, and his personality is also very similar. He is straightforward and says what he wants.
Then, Xiao Yi also knew how much money he might have to spend on the major project to control floods in the two rivers.
But.
He has plenty of ideas.
Didn't Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Southeast, fund the major project of opening a canal connecting the north and the south?
You can definitely put this aside.
In comparison, the project to control floods in the two rivers is more important.
Xiao Yi also plans to involve maritime merchants, because the two rivers are also the two largest water transportation lines in Daqian.
As long as these two transportation lines are utilized, it will be easier for large quantities of goods to go to sea.
Moreover, controlling floods in the two rivers is a big project and cannot be rushed.
Then take your time, complete one section this year and another next year, just like a mortgage. This is a strategy that can reduce financial pressure.
Xiao Yi directly established a separate official office called the Daqian Water Resources Department, which divided some of the powers and responsibilities that previously belonged to the Ministry of Works. This also reduced the bloated problem of the Ministry of Works and expanded the powers of water conservancy again.
In other words, the Ministry of Water Resources is not only responsible for water control, but also for the construction of reservoirs, canals, canals, and two rivers in various places in Daqian, and for the water transportation of the two rivers.
That is to say, the Caobang was directly integrated into the official offices of the imperial court to form official governance and official positions were established to formalize and officialize the Caobang.
The benefits of this are very large, and it can be regarded as touching the cake of many people.
But.
Xiao Yi is not afraid.
Who dares to resist.
He played the card Yue Hongling.
Rectifying the Caobang is a major event, a major event that can stabilize the prosperity of Daqian.
Because of the development and growth of maritime trade, the benefits will be greater in the future, and the demand for water transportation will also increase.
If Caogang is not rectified, all the profits brought by the maritime merchants will be eaten up by these people.
Ordinary people may not even be able to take a sip of soup.
The imperial court suffered heavy losses.
Only through formalization and officialization can the trackers on the docks in Caobang become workers, get money, and support their families.
