Chapter 160: Kangxi's Strategy

"Build a canal?"

Kangxi didn't understand what this was, the only thing he knew was what Concubine Yi said, it should have something to do with water.

"Hmm. Sang Zi nodded lightly and said: "The emperor should know that our people rely on rain all day long for water, but the fruit trees and vegetables planted by the concubine are the most water-consuming, so the concubine asked people to build a large pool, and then asked the people below to build a one-foot-high canal with stones. Usually need to water saplings and vegetables, the people below will naturally water with the water from the canal, if not, the concubines can also breed some aquatic species, to give Zhuangzi more input. ”

These are the facts, with her business in the past few years, the things cultivated in her Zhuangzi are very profitable, especially the restaurant she lets people run, it is simply a Zhuangzi restaurant, every time she looks at the bill on the Zhuangzi, she can clearly see how prosperous her restaurant is, so that her favorite thing now is to build Zhuangzi.

Don't say it, a perfect Zhuangzi needs about seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver to build, but according to the vegetables and those water species planted in Zhuangzi, within five years, all the silver she invested can be recovered.

Of course, the most gratifying thing is the restaurant built by Sangzi, originally she just wanted to find a sales channel for the things produced in her Zhuangzi, but she didn't expect to have the signboard of Guo Luoluo Mansion and her own Yi Fei's deposit, the restaurant she operated, as if it had become the largest restaurant, especially the aquatic species she cultivated, it was simply a major feature of the restaurant, although other restaurants also had it, but it could not catch up with the benefits of her restaurant.

"Aifei's method is very good, compared to the bamboo canal mentioned in the book, this method is most suitable for promotion. Kangxi couldn't help but admire, the 'bamboo canal' described in the book is to split the middle with thick bamboo and divide it into two halves. Then the fetters in the bamboo are also removed, and they are tied together for watering.

Compared with the two, Kangxi can naturally clearly judge which method is better. You know, the channels built by bamboo are not only easy to be damaged, but more importantly, this method cannot be promoted at all, otherwise, those thick bamboos will not be cut down by people?

"The emperor praised falsely, the concubine had just managed Zhuangzi at that time, and originally thought of watering it with bamboo canals, but looking at the bamboos that were tied together, the concubines felt troublesome, and simply let them use stones to build those channels, first: you don't need the concubines to spend so much silver. Second: the concubine felt that this channel was not easy to damage. Sang Zi smiled and held the teacup in his hand, reached Baocheng's mouth, looked at his white and tender little hands, and hugged the teacup in his hand and got up.

"Well, I will send someone to Guo Luoluo's mansion to find out, if this method is feasible, I will reward you with a lady with an order. In fact, Kangxi had already decided in his heart, and now he said this sentence in front of Sang Zi, just to balance her position in the palace.

"The concubine thanked the emperor for Eniang. With that, Sang Zi stood up and saluted Kangxi, with a bright smile on his face.

Kangxi nodded slightly, and he could see the method used by Concubine Yi from the operation mode in the Zhuangzi. Planting an orchard, at least three years without any harvest, but Yifei asked people to grow vegetables in the middle of the fruit trees. In addition, she has people build pools that usually store water sources to breed aquatic species, and when it is time to use them, she has people water those fruit trees and vegetables. This method of counting in one fell swoop is not bad.

Kangxi had to admit that his Zhuangzi made money relatively because of the construction of the bamboo canal, but in real terms, he didn't make as much money as Concubine Yi, but Kangxi also knew that the yield of grain crops was not high, and he didn't let people plant these vegetables, so it was normal to earn less silver than Concubine Yi.

At this time, he remembered the fruit trees planted and the pond built on Yifei's Zhuangzi, and had to admit that Yifei planted fruit trees and vegetables on the one hand, and let people breed aquatic species on the other, this method was simply a good strategy, and if he let people build it like this, his Zhuangzi would also have a good harvest.

It's just that he can let people plant fruit trees, and he can also let people build pools, but if he really grows vegetables in it, in addition to supplying some to the imperial dining room, it is useless for him to plant so much, thinking about it left and right, Kangxi still thinks that it is very good for him to let people plant other things.

For example, the corn and sweet potatoes he bought this year, these two crops are also very good, since Yifei grows vegetables in his orchard, he has people grow corn and sweet potatoes, and he believes that the Zhuangzi he built will not be bad.

I have to say that Kangxi's thinking ability is very good, just a few simple words, Kangxi already has a set of methods, if Sang Zi knows, he will definitely feel that this person is worthy of being the emperor in charge of the world.

Of course, the reason why Kangxi said in front of Sang Zi that he wanted to seal Mrs. Guo Luoluo as his edict was actually after strict thinking, you must know that Lord Guo Luoluo gave Kangxi two species of sweet potatoes and corn, and now it has been confirmed that there is a bumper harvest, if Kangxi does not reward it, it will be unreasonable.

However, the power of Guo Luoluo's family is not small, Kangxi did not dare to give him a promotion lightly, and now when he saw the orchard where Sang Zi was outside, Kangxi remembered that Lord Guo Luoluo did not mix with the things in the backyard, and the sweet potatoes and corn belonged to Mrs. Guo Luoluo and Concubine Yi, in this case, he mentioned the matter of Jin Feng her mother by Concubine Yi's side, which would definitely make her even happier.

Thinking about it this way, Kangxi felt that his plan was good, not only appeased Lord Guo Luoluo, but also made Concubine Yi more grateful to herself, such a thing of killing two birds with one stone is simply the best strategy.

So, in the early dynasty, Kangxi directly named Mrs. Guo Luoluo as the second lady of the order, which can be described as an extreme favor for Guo Luoluo to marry. You must know that Mrs. Guo Luoluo, as a family member of a foreign minister (not a member of the Aixin Jueluo family), the highest canonization is the second rank of the edict, and Kangxi did not hesitate to give her this title, which shows how high this status is.
