Even for him, his two meals were just a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables and a piece of red bean cake. He couldn't eat anything else.
When he was training in the military camp, when the war in the north was tense, he also ate coarse grains and drank turbid water with the soldiers, but snail meat, which looked like multi-bearded worms to him, was absolutely unacceptable. Touched.
As for the sweet lychee soup, he was not used to drinking it as a grown man.
I didn't expect that she would actually like it.
Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows.
The changes have been so great that it is difficult not to make people suspicious.
But...that's what's interesting, isn't it?
"It won't take so long to say thank you, right?"
Yan Qi hurriedly said: "The princess also gave a few bags of sweet potatoes to the host and asked them to plant them as seeds on the mountain. She said that there was no need to pick the land, and she also taught them several ways to eat sweet potatoes. There are also beans... "
To be honest, Yan Qi couldn't understand why the princess would see and remember the feed eaten by the livestock.
"Finally, I mentioned a crop called sugar cane. I have never seen it before, but the princess seems to know it. She drew a picture of sugar cane and asked the master to pay attention to it, and said..."
"say what?"
"Once they are planted, let them send them to Jinnan Palace. She will respond generously with grain and cloth."
"..."
Yan Kejin was silent for a moment and then ordered: "Send someone to look for this crop and see what it is used for."
"yes!"
"Go and urge me. It's time to set off. If you don't leave, do you want to sleep in the wild tonight?"
"……yes!"
…
The carriage rumbled forward, bumping from time to time.
Xu Yin held her tea cup steady and took a sip of tea, then lowered her head to write down her farming plan.
While the charcoal pen is wandering around, a dragon and a phoenix are dancing in cursive hand.
Aunt Feng hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
At this moment, she became more and more certain: the fourth girl may have been hiding her clumsiness in the past.
Do you want to report back to Madam?
But Nanman was too far from Beijing, and the one-way journey took two months.
Those who can send envoys, like her, have to follow the fourth girl to the palace. Once they enter the southern barbarian territory, they will not be able to get out.
Spend money to find unrelated people to deliver the letter, but you are afraid of being unsafe. If the prince discovers it, you will not be able to explain why...
Grandma Feng went through many twists and turns in her heart, and finally chose to pretend she didn't know anything.
Anyway, the madam sent her here to keep an eye on the fourth girl. She only asked the fourth girl not to run back to the capital. The other madams did not give orders.
So as long as the fourth girl doesn't run away, anything can be said.
Xu Yin didn't know what was going on in Nanny Feng's heart. She was busy.
After writing the preliminary plan, I started to search for tools available in the system store.
The beginning of spring has passed and spring plowing is busy.
As the carriage came all the way, she saw the people and oxen in the fields. The plows pulled by them were extremely laborious, which greatly reduced the efficiency of plowing. It was obvious that the curved shaft plow had not yet been invented.
Quyuli's blueprint system is available in the mall, but it's a bit expensive, costing 1,000 energy points.
However, with the reward of 10,000 energy points, Xu Yin did not hesitate to redeem a blueprint for an improved lightweight Quyuan plow.
"Mommy, can we buy land here?"
"Here? In Baiyue County? It's better to go to Baigui County and buy it." Nanny Feng thought for a while and then added, "Maybe the prince has already bought Zhuangzi."
Xu Yin does not have the idea that "men's things belong to men, and what belongs to hers is hers." If King Jinnan was willing to donate his village for her own use, she would be able to save money and buy land.
only--
"His farm must have been cultivated. I want to buy a few acres of wasteland. You know I have never farmed before. Although I have read a lot of books, they are all just words on paper. In order not to waste, let's start with wasteland."
Didn't she buy a lot of seeds along the way? As long as they were available in the system mall, she replaced them with superior seeds produced by the system to see if she could cultivate high-yield and high-quality crops that could be planted in batches in Nanman.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful to the peasant girl for her farming experience, which is now a valuable asset!
…
The governors of the five Nanman counties have arrived at the capital of Bagui County one after another, waiting for King Jinnan to summon them.
Among these five people, the ones who least welcomed the arrival of King Jinnan were the governors of Baiyue and Minyue counties.
One of them is called Liu Cheng and the other is Wang Zhihai. They are cousins and relatives of a concubine in the emperor's harem.
At first, both families were poor common people. It is said that if one person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven. When the cousin was chosen by the emperor who was out of the palace to escape the summer, they were selected into the harem, and they subsequently found an official position.
The two of them wanted to come to Nanman, which others didn't want to come to.
Here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is not too convenient to make money.
People are poor, so they have to pay taxes, right?
Over the years, they have enriched their own pockets through arbitrary tax increases, and built their respective mansions more magnificently than the palace compound.
The emperor didn't know. He thought that the taxes from the Southern Barbarians were so pitiful that it didn't matter whether they had them or not, so he pretended to be rich and gave them to the deposed prince.
Once this is classified as a fief, only one-half of the taxes on the land need to be handed over to the treasury, and the remaining one-half must be left to the owner of the fief.
"Do you think King Jinnan will send someone to check our account?" Liu Cheng walked around with an impatient look on his face, "If we check it, wouldn't it be easy to find out what we did? There are still good results for you and me. eat?"
Wang Zhihai also had a headache. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a solution. He couldn't help but look fierce: "It's better to simply..."
He made a motion of raising and lowering the knife.
Liu Cheng shook his head: "No! The Yanzi team that follows them all have very strong martial arts skills. It is difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to defeat them. But for the top masters, you and I have no way out."
"What should cousin Yi do?"
After thinking about it, Liu Cheng said: "It's better to smooth over the obvious things first."
This means that the tax withheld this year will be refunded first. As long as it can be concealed from King Jinnan, it will be okay to have a temporary loss of income.
But when I think about the future, I may only have the low salary of a county guard, and there will no longer be the extra money that I used to earn. I can't help but be irritated, wishing that King Jinnan would die on his horse and never reach the fiefdom!
Suddenly, Liu Cheng came up with an idea: "Yes! Has he never accepted a concubine? The position of the principal concubine is advantageous to the prime minister's house. Aren't the two concubine positions still vacant? Find an opportunity for you and my wife to take him Let the girls in the house show their faces... As for men, there are very few people who don't feel itchy when they see a beautiful woman..."
The two looked at each other and smiled proudly, as if they had already secured victory.
In the next room, the governors of the other three counties were not as bold as these two.
They were vaguely looking forward to the arrival of King Jinnan.
"Our county is poor! Bandits often rob the country." The governor of Qianzhong County sighed, "The bandits run rampant and make life difficult for the people!"
The governor of Baipu County echoed: "Our county is not the same! I heard that King Jinnan has a clear distinction between love and hate. He loves the people and hates lawless elements. I hope he can deter those fierce bandits and the people can live a stable life."
In addition to the beautiful words, there is another unfinished meaning: if the public security within the jurisdiction is improved, it will be even more perfect if he follows Queen Jinnan to gain some political achievements, and after three years, he strives to change to a more prosperous county!
The governor of Baigui County stroked his beard, smiled helplessly and said nothing.
He had different ideas from these two colleagues.
He not only hoped that the arrival of King Jinnan would kill the greed of Liu Cheng and Wang Zhihai, but he was also worried that King Jinnan would be colluded with those two people.
So what if you loved and protected the people before? Now he is just a deposed prince who has lost the emperor's heart. He was demoted by the emperor to a barren land like Nanman. Is there any possibility of going further?
Who can bear such a gap?
He guessed that King Jinnan had no intention of revenge in his heart, but without the imperial edict, he could not leave the fiefdom. Who else could take revenge besides the southern barbarian people?
In short, the governors of the five counties each have their own thoughts.
