Ji Pingan used glutinous rice to make new glutinous rice bricks through his own method.
At the same time, in order to make the glutinous rice bricks stronger, he also specially extracted some powder from the ore to strengthen them so that the glutinous rice bricks they made could be more durable.
With the cooperation of Zhang Manping and Ji Ping'an, they quickly repaired the road.
After the road is repaired, horse-drawn carriages can pass normally, and the drainage system is also very good. This will greatly increase the villager's rice transportation work.
This incident also shocked the Ninth Prince to a great extent.
The Ninth Prince never expected that Ji Ping'an would be here. How could he develop such a powerful situation at this time?
The Ninth Prince found Ji Ping'an immediately. He hoped to use Ji Ping'an to help him and win over more people.
In this way, he can consolidate his position, and bricks are a good direction.
After the Ninth Prince found Ji Pingan, he directly expressed his thoughts.
"I hope you can understand that next I want people across the country to have the convenience brought by the glutinous rice brick you made."
"If possible, I hope it can be promoted nationwide. Do you think such a plan is feasible?"
The Ninth Prince did this just to build momentum for himself.
The biggest advantage of glutinous rice bricks is that they can be laid quickly and mass-produced quickly.
Compared to stone bricks, although their hardness is a bit lower, they are very simple to make and mine.
The Ninth Prince wanted to help the people and was able to build roads to connect various city-states.
However, the current situation is not that simple. Ji Ping'an also knows what the Ninth Prince is thinking, and he said helplessly.
"Ninth Prince, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the current situation is indeed more complicated. You should also know that glutinous rice bricks are made of glutinous rice."
"There is no way to use a large amount of glutinous rice to make bricks now. After all, people in many places still have nothing to eat."
When the Ninth Prince heard Ji Ping'an say such words, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. This was a good plan.
If they can carry out large-scale promotion at this time, it will be great to do things well.
The Ninth Prince couldn't help but feel a little sad, consuming a lot of glutinous rice, which was impossible to achieve.
Ji Ping'an saw the serious look on Lord Ninth Prince's face at this moment and knew that the next situation would definitely be very complicated.
Shit slowly expressed his thoughts.
"The Ninth Prince built the road in time. There is no need to be too anxious about this matter. After all, there will definitely be better materials in the future. By then, there will be no need for glutinous rice. In comparison, if you can let the people all over the country eat it, Having enough food is a great achievement."
When Ji Ping'an spoke, there was a look of pride on his face, and then he continued to explain.
"Once you can ensure that all the people have enough food and clothing, then you will definitely gain the support of the people. By then, many things will become a matter of course."
After Ji Ping An explained the situation, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face. He knew that what Ji Ping An said was the undeniable truth.
At the same time, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then an incredible look appeared on his face.
"Are you planning to publish the rice seeds you developed? If so, it can be promoted nationwide."
The prince was also extremely excited, because this time he came to Yicheng and clearly understood the current situation here.
They also learned that the rice seeds developed by Ji Pingan had indeed brought them great benefits.
For the entire country, if it can be fully promoted, the effect will naturally be the best.
Ji Ping'an naturally had no intention of hiding anything, he directly expressed his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, you are right. I have to sell rice seeds, but the prerequisite is that these seeds can only be planted for one season."
"That is to say, after these seeds are planted, new seeds must be purchased from me the next year before they can be planted again. There is no way to leave new rice seeds."
After Ji Ping'an told him his plan, the prince couldn't help but show a look of uneasiness on his face, if that was really the case.
That will put great pressure on them, especially the current situation, which is definitely worse than expected.
"Don't be kidding. If you do this, those people will spend part of their money to buy rice seeds every year, which will not make their lives better at all."
The Ninth Prince expressed his current thoughts. After all, the situation was indeed like this.
Ji Ping'an said with a serious face at this time.
"I have to do it because if I don't, there's nothing I can do."
"I have to protect the rice cultivation I have developed, and at the same time, I cannot let other people wrap the rice seeds in it. If other countries get the rice seeds and cultivate them, we will not have any advantage at all."
After Ji Ping'an said such words, you could clearly see the serious look in everyone's eyes at this moment.
Especially the current situation is far worse than imagined.
The complexities created by the current situation are also extremely stressful.
When the Ninth Prince faced this situation, they all knew that Ji Ping'an was indeed forward-looking.
After the Ninth Prince thought carefully, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then expressed his thoughts.
"What you did is really impressive. I didn't expect you to be able to come up with such a plan."
Ji Pingan, who saw all this in his eyes, expressed his inner thoughts at the same time.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Although I don't want to harm anyone, if this thing is taken away, it may threaten our foundation. After all, we must be on guard against others."
Ji Ping'an expressed his thoughts, and then he told the Ninth Prince about the rice seed cultivation method, and at the same time gave him his own seeds.
After the Ninth Prince obtained the seeds, he immediately began to spread the seeds to the outside world.
In this way, many people got rice seeds. Although they thought it was a bit incredible, they got the seeds for free at the beginning.
After those people planted the seeds and saw the rice grow and have a bumper harvest, they realized how much kindness the Ninth Prince had to them.
The Ninth Prince also relied on this method to accumulate a lot of popular support among the people in a very short period of time.
As a result, the conflict between him and the new king naturally intensified.
