Geng Hanchu took Ying Qingci around the city.
Compared to Nanning Prefecture, Kyoto is much larger in area, and at first glance, most of the people here are wearing Chinese clothes. Even if there are one or two ordinary people, they are not dressed like other places. Coarse linen clothes.
And they are all relatively medium-quality commoners.
The types of shops inside are much more than those in Naning Mansion.
Including puppet and toy shops, clothing shops, jewelry shops, etc.
Ying Qingci was dazzled for a moment.
However, there is no snack shop here. Although there are some selling pastries, the types are relatively simple. If a snack shop is opened here, it will be very popular, right?
This was just a preliminary idea of hers, and she didn't think deeply about it.
She doesn't understand the tastes of people in the capital. If she is making food, she needs to consider many things.
Geng Hanchu glanced at her, "This is the busiest street in Kyoto. Almost all the shops in it are places where dignitaries from Kyoto go."
"In addition, there are some relatively affordable streets over there. Ordinary people in the capital go back there."
In just two sentences, Geng Hanchu clearly explained the rich and poor classes in Kyoto.
One street is full of dignitaries, and the other is people with a little wealth.
"Where is that place over there?"
They are now standing on a high building in the capital, and can clearly see the situation below and the distribution of the capital at a glance.
Ying Qingci turned his eyes and suddenly glanced at a corner.
Geng Hanchu followed her gaze and looked over.
"That's the suburbs of Beijing."
Ying Qingci nodded, suburbs of Beijing? Ordinary farmer's residence?
She frowned and remembered what Nan Xiangyun said accidentally before.
The people of Kyoto all live in the capital. Even if there are farmers in the areas under the jurisdiction of the capital, they are still some distance away from Kyoto.
This suburb of Beijing can be seen at a glance from here. It shouldn't be what she thought?
"Although it is where farmers live, the Secretary of Agriculture is indeed in charge of it now."
Daling attached great importance to the development of agriculture, so it established the Department of Agricultural Affairs, and the suburbs of Beijing were under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agricultural Affairs.
"Want to take a look?"
"Um?"
Ying Qingci was slightly startled, "Can I just go and see this?"
Geng Hanchu smiled.
"If you are an ordinary person, of course you can't."
During the words, he paused for a moment, and then spoke again.
"However, the emergence of plant illustrations has brought great benefits to the Department of Agriculture. If you want to go, they will be happy to ask for it."
Although he could definitely take her there, the meaning of this would be different.
No matter what the situation is, what you can achieve with your own abilities is the most anticipated and happy thing.
The suburbs of Beijing were actually just a wasteland a long time ago. Later, the ancestors of the emperors conquered Daling, so they divided it into the jurisdiction of the Department of Agricultural Affairs.
The previous emperors were arrogant and extravagant, and did not care about the people's livelihood. After the ancestors conquered the country, they knew that as an emperor, they must first pay attention to the people's livelihood.
Only when the people live well can the emperor gain support. In the same way, the foundation of the country can be deepened.
They are standing on a tall building, so when they look in all directions, they feel close at hand, but when they really want to go to a certain place, the actual distance will be somewhat different.
Jingjiao, as its name suggests, is on the outskirts of Beijing.
It was only designated by the imperial court as a place under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Affairs Department, so ordinary people could not approach it easily.
When Geng Hanchu and his people arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, Ying Qingci saw the busy people inside.
Sensing her gaze, Geng Hanchu continued, "Those are ordinary farmers. The Agricultural Affairs Department will look for people who are good at farming, give them monthly money, and hire them to work."
"Another area was specially designated by the Department of Agricultural Affairs. The land in it can be rented out to ordinary farmers. This can also solve some of the people's difficult problems."
The Agricultural Affairs Department covers a very large area. If we really count it, there are almost several thousand acres of land, close to tens of thousands of acres.
It's more than enough to hire a few people.
Ying Qingci nodded.
This is a good idea.
"Your Highness?"
As soon as Bai Wu walked out of it, he saw Geng Hanchu standing outside.
When his eyes fell on Ying Qingci beside him, he paused slightly.
A woman... appeared next to His Highness the Crown Prince?
No, it can still be said to be a girl.
His eyes were broken for a moment, but he quickly recovered and strode forward quickly.
When Ying Qingci heard his voice, she looked up.
I saw a middle-aged man walking hurriedly towards this side, and stopped when he came in front of Geng Hanchu.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ying Qingci was stunned, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
However, it was expected.
If he wasn't a prince, how could he have so much power?
After arriving in the capital, Geng Hanchu had no intention of concealing his identity. Now that Bai Wu had made it clear, he did not stop him.
"Um."
Hearing Geng Hanchu's voice, Bai Wu straightened up, but his eyes fell on Ying Qingci unconsciously.
"Your Highness, who is this?"
There was an unconcealable light of gossip in his eyes.
This is the first time that His Royal Highness has a girl by his side.
You know, except for the nuns who cook in the backyard kitchen, all the people around His Highness are men.
Oh, and the eunuchs.
"The Lord of Fuhui County."
"Oh...it turns out to be Fuhui..." When Bai Wu heard Geng Hanchu's introduction, the fire of gossip was ignited, and his eyes widened after he realized it.
"Fuhui... County Lord?"
"Is it really the County Lord? County Lord, to be honest, we are also studying some plants in the plant illustration and have achieved some small results. I wonder if the County Lord can give us some pointers?"
The plant illustration is not just a simple book about plants. When Ying Qingci drew it, he also wrote down the living environment and planting methods of some plants, including some expansions.
Therefore, a plant illustrated book is indeed very valuable here.
If it weren't for maintaining his image, Bai Wu would have lost his voice by now.
The flames of gossip in his eyes immediately dissipated, and his eyes fell blazingly on Ying Qingci.
This is the owner of Fuhui County who drew the botanical illustration. He is indeed a wonderful person!
Not only is he smart, but he is also really good-looking.
"Shiratouji."
Geng Hanchu's cold voice sounded, pulling him back from his excited thoughts.
Immediately, he turned to look at Ying Qingci and introduced her.
"Girl, this is Bai Wu, the household secretary of the Department of Agricultural Affairs."
"cough."
Bai Wu seemed to realize that he was being rude, and he coughed slightly and looked at Ying Qingci awkwardly.
Ying Qingci raised the corners of her mouth slightly and greeted him politely.
"Shiratouji."
"Having met County Master Fuhui, it would be rude to be a lower-ranking official."
