"When I purchased the wasteland at Hanshan Temple, I heard that there were many low-cost wastelands in Aurous Hill. If the treasury cannot pay for it, and the court is taboo against privately raising soldiers, we might as well let the local government and the garrison work together to make the garrison idle. When they help to reclaim wasteland, the government treasury will exchange the money for purchasing the land into grain taxes, which will be apportioned in five or ten years."

"Alternatively, we can directly let the garrison take over the matter and station the soldiers to cultivate the fields. The soldiers will know that after being injured on the battlefield, they will have the fields distributed by the state to support themselves when they return home. They will definitely be happy to clear up wasteland for their ancestors."

I am for everyone and everyone is for me.

Ning Wuyan did not explain further.

Because he saw Jiang Yan's enlightened and awakened expression, he knew that Jiang Yan had a strong acumen for policy.

And the strategies he has in his belly are really not as clever as those of the contemporary generation who have been exposed to political struggles since childhood.

His greatest advantage over people like Jiang Yan is probably his foresight.

"Gathering troops to raise fields, using troops to support troops! This is a great way!"

After Jiang Yan heard these words, he directly outlined a set of complete policies in his mind.

However, this matter needs to be discussed with the garrison and then jointly presented to His Majesty.

There are so many wastelands in Daxing, and most of the garrisons are stationed in the barren mountains outside the city. With this, they can not only be self-sufficient, but also allow Daxing soldiers to have no worries and improve their combat effectiveness for the country, the people and themselves.

Kill multiple birds with one stone!

The most important thing is that it does not require much military expenditure. If the effect is good, the number of troops can be expanded.

Jiang Yan suddenly understood why Mr. Ning wanted to drive away Zhou An's guards.

If this is successful, it will be a great achievement!

"Mr. Ning's talent is truly rare in the world!"

"Mr. Jiang, please don't give me such a high hat. The placement of wounded soldiers has been handled by you, grandpa and the garrison general from beginning to end. What does it have to do with me?"

Ning Wuyang kept his words clean and clear.

Jiang Yan was even more impressed.

Able to take credit but not greedy for it, Mr. Ning is indeed no ordinary person!

"Mr. Ning, you go downstairs to play. I will make some drafts on this matter. I will ask Jiang Yang to deliver those account books to my house in person afterwards."

"good."

Ning Wuhan doesn't expect to be able to read the account book when there are too many people.

Today's personal matters are settled.

It is also expected to help grandpa get a big credit, this trip is well worth it.

Yes.

As early as when he proposed to use fields to house wounded soldiers, Ning Wuhuang had thought of hoarding land to support soldiers.

But if he raised this matter directly, there was no guarantee that an upright person like Jiang Yan would take all the credit on him.

Just because Su Rui always wants to find reasons for him to come to Beijing, he will not accept the merit at this time.

Zhou An must be eliminated, and only after Jinling has no more enemies who want to kill him or can kill him, and the rear area has been stabilized, will he go to Jing'an City to make some inroads.

After this wave of credit was given, he designed Jiang Yan to participate in the counter-killing of Zhou An, and he had a clear conscience.

When we walked to the second floor painting boat.

Ji Jin and Zhou Jingxian have already boarded the first floor hall of the painting boat.

At this time, they were being gathered together by a group of powerful children, inquiring about the Ping An Wine and Ice Drink Shop.

When Zhou Jingxian said that Ping'an Wine was sold out as soon as it was sold today, everyone couldn't help but complain that Yujiu Winery sold the wine without saying hello. They thought the first batch of wine was still being brewed.

"Don't worry, everyone. The person buying the wine is Boss Zhao from the flower shop. When he bought the wine, he also said that he would set aside a few jars of wine for everyone to drink for free."

Ning Wuyan heard that Zhou Jingxian specially promoted Boss Zhao.

Then they knew that the two had formed an alliance in private.

"Really? I have to find out where this person lives and when they will invite us to drink. I will definitely go there to drink."

"Brother Cheng, I came here today to enjoy the lotus pond on the small island in the middle of the lake. It's really boring for you to think about drinking that strong liquor like fire on a hot day. In this hot weather, you should drink ice."

Back to business.

The topic returned to the ice cube.

Ji Jin and Zhou Jingxian looked at each other, and the former clapped his hands gently.

Immediately, the young men of the Shen family came forward with gentle steps, carrying ice basins.

Instantaneous.

The hall, which was unbearably hot due to overcrowding, was exceptionally cool.

"It's so cool. There are ice cubes to help with the heat. It's really comfortable."

"Didn't Zhang Mansion buy ice cubes to cool down? Now the price of ice cubes in Jinling City is several percent cheaper than before."

"Ms. Wang, you are confused. This ice cube was made in Zhangjiazhuang. If Zhang Mansion wants to use ice cubes, just tell Mrs. Ning Er directly. Isn't it Miss Zhang?"

Miss Zhang, who was named, saw the flattering smile on the face of the official lady who had ignored her before, and thought of the ice cubes specially sent to the house by Zhangjiazhuang, and nodded with a smile.

His eyes were wandering around, searching for that figure.

Finally saw her at the stairs on the second floor. Miss Zhang had not had time to be happy. When she saw Shen Youchu running towards Ning Wuhuang with a smile on her face, and saw Shen Youchu stumble under her feet, Ning Wuhuang's face changed slightly in fright, and he stretched out his arms to help her. He gave the other person a hand, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

She lowered her head and swallowed back her unwillingness and pain.

It seems that my cousin is right.

Cousin Ning already has another woman in his heart.

Many other girls also came because they wanted to see the rumored Jinling Poetry Fairy up close.

As soon as Ning Wuyan appeared, all the girls focused their attention on the stairs on the second floor.

Even Ji Jin and Zhou Jingxian are no exception.

Zhou An was listening to the guard talking about what he had overheard about herbs and wounded soldiers.

Seeing that it was a commonplace topic, he was not interested at all. He waved his hand to interrupt the guard's words, and looked at Ji Jin, who was staring at Ning Wuyi with a faint look.

Even though there were ice basins around him, there was still anger in his heart.

Thinking that the purpose of his visit was not only to inquire about Ning Wuyan's current situation, but also to ruin the gathering. He didn't need any grace and just made sarcastic remarks.

"Let me tell you, everyone, the ice cubes have been brought here. Do you still want to swim on the lake?"

A harsh sound broke the harmonious atmosphere in which everyone was welcoming Ning Wuhuang's arrival.

Everyone looked around and saw Zhou An sitting in front of the window, flapping the translucent bamboo curtain with a folding fan, and said sarcastically: "It's really fun to eat iced drinks and enjoy the lotus flowers for free, but there's no point in going to the lotus pond on a hot day." It’s fun to feed mosquitoes there.”

"Look at the lotus pond, which is full of dragonflies holding lotuses and touching the water. It's so beautiful. By the way, Ning Shixian, you have lived on the farm for so many days. You should know that these dragonflies eat insects, and this lotus eats insects." There must be a lot of mosquitoes in the pool, and I wonder if the swollen bumps from mosquito bites can subside after the ice drink is cooled down in the stomach?"

Everyone followed the folding fan in Zhou An's hand and looked at the lotus reflecting the sun.

Obviously, visiting the lake and admiring the lotuses is a pleasant and fun thing. But now when I think about the mosquitoes biting people more fiercely after the rain, and I wonder if there is too much ice in the ice basin, my hair stands on end, and I no longer feel any joy. .

Just disappointing.

"Anhou seems to be right."

"Miss Shen, why don't we go enjoy the lotuses? It would be nice to sit here with an ice drink."

It's pretty good.

But no matter how slowly you eat a bowl of ice drink, you will finish it all within half an hour. Without other activities, how can you add another bowl and experience the wonderful atmosphere of ice drink and summer scenery?

Their original vision of using this opportunity to promote the wonders of iced drinks was about to come to nothing!

Shen Youchu thought about the lotus viewing tour that he had finally decided upon after several discussions with Jin'er and Jingxian, but was shattered by Zhou An's few words. She was so angry that she really wanted Mei Xiang to throw Zhou An into the lake to feed the mosquitoes.

Zhou Jingxian knew that Zhou An was here for her, and she said with an apologetic smile to Ji Jin, who was clenching her handkerchief: "The lake tour that you have been preparing for so long may be forced to cancel."
