Chapter 36: The Moment Before the Mission
(The countdown to the second volume is coming...... ļ¼
After a transitional period of heavy government affairs in the previous year or two, Dai Guo is also on the right track, and now, basically, both the officials of Dai Guo and the people who occasionally communicate with each other have become somewhat accustomed to the country.

When anything has been accepted and experienced, there will always be some different thoughts, and some of the things that make them happy will unconsciously and subconsciously, just like the first forgiveness issued by Sakura.
It's now the fourth year of Hongshi, and the first year of going out was close to the winter accident when the first amnesty was issued, and the remaining three years were basically carried out as usual in spring, summer and autumn.
And after several times, almost a year or two, things quietly changed to become apparent, and the first to realize the situation were the local officials, who, by some means, had inadvertently noticed that their performance seemed to have improved a little faster......
Immediately afterwards, many people found that the atmosphere in the entire Dai country was already a little different, and the kind of straightforward people who felt distressed and heavy in the past dissipated, and was replaced by a certain gentle vitality.
Although it was still very cold in the winter in the past two years, there were still many people who had to survive the cold in a very difficult manner, but there were very few people who died from frost.
The most surprising thing is that the military and civilians in most state capitals no longer want to be as rigid and ignore each other as in the past, and from time to time we will always see some soldiers taking advantage of the rare spare time to take the initiative to go to some people's homes and help do something.
Most places are no longer as blunt and unpopular as Dai Guo used to be, in the words of many farmers, that is, it feels like the whole country is full of friendly people, and now Dai Guo is completely different.
In the winter of Dai in the past, it was often seen that the soldiers were guarding the cities and important places against the cold wave, and countless civilians froze to death on the streets, and they were always just depressed clothes.
And now Dai Guo, after the winter, often see some civilians who know each other and free sergeants sitting together, sitting together on the bed with Hongci powder as heating material, drinking together, laughing and chatting.
Because the new king also promulgated a system of rotation for officials and soldiers, including soldiers, in the second year, the streets were not as deserted as in the past, and they spent a long day in the bustle.
Speaking of which, what will make the entire Dai country change dramatically is the magical crop of Hongci, even if it is properly governed, if you want to achieve the current situation, I am afraid it will take more than ten years, but with the plants that have spread throughout the country in the past two years, it has only been more than three years, and it has been done.
When Hongci is ripe, it will bloom pure white flowers, the petals are very small, and the roots of the petals form some red lines, and the soil under is the fruit, when a lot of Hongci is planted, after a week or two, you will see a large sea of white flowers, which is very pleasant and gratifying.
I don't know since when, like the fruit's Hongci, the petals of this plant have another name, Sakurazen Flower, a flower of goodwill that blooms because of the king with the name of Sakura, and this has soon become widespread.
ā¦ā¦
The capital of Dai, Hongji, and the top of the mountain are located Baekyu Palace, and now this time period is also the time when the king and the civil and military officials are discussing politics, as usual, Sakura sits quietly on the throne, listening to the reports of many officials, as well as various matters and proposals.
"What about the arrangements for the refugees from Qingyuehai?"
After listening to some of the situation, Sakura asked the first person under the head, and after hearing Sakura's words, as the Tsukasa who was in charge of the six officials, Hanakage bowed respectfully before raising his head and talking to Sakura about the current situation.
"Because there is a gap between the void of the sea, in fact, there are not many Qingmin who come to Dai, so it will not cause too much burden to our country, because of the large number of women among the refugees, plus the construction of 'greenhouses', there is still a little help for some production in our country."
After the flower shadow finished reporting, he lowered his head and sat back in his place, and Sakura also nodded, and he also expected that after Qingguo lost his way, the impact on Dai was not big, so he was more relieved after hearing the current situation.
That's right, as mentioned, a year ago, but the Qingguo that lasted for six years fell into a state of no king, and King Yu (nickname) was infatuated with Jingqi, and expelled the women of the whole country, resulting in loss of morality, but before Jingqi died of illness, he took the initiative to abdicate (commit suicide), and because of the relative distance, many refugees who could not stand natural disasters and man-made disasters escaped.
"In that case, how is the state progressing on the construction of 'greenhouses'?" Sakura's gaze fell on the prefect behind the flower shadow this time, and the prefect also raised his head respectfully.
The so-called greenhouse is actually the use of Hongci to maintain the ambient temperature in the semi-enclosed state to the point where it can be cultivated, so that crops with no low yield can be obtained in winter, and even the soil in some areas can be modified.
"The construction of the 'greenhouse' was included in the itinerary last year, but the Lord should also know that it is still difficult to build with 'extra time and resources' without affecting the current steady progress of our country."
"Wenzhou has entered the end of the project because it was carried out by the Xia Guanchang after the lord ascended the throne, and last year's winter has been able to maintain a balanced pass, and there are also signs of recovery in the production of Yuquan."
"The progress of the rest of the states has only reached more than half of the level, and it can be maintained by grinding Hongci into powder and mixed fertilizer and applying soil, but the loss of soil and fertilizer caused by this still needs to be solved urgently, but because there are already eyebrows, it can be solved by transplanting Yuquan, so it is not urgent."
"The biggest problem lies in the coastal Qingzhou and Mazhou, where the environment is better than that of Wenzhou, but the soil erosion and sand are too large, and the population is too large, even if the greenhouse is built, I am afraid there is still a big shortcoming."
The magistrate told Sakura in detail about the current situation, and then raised the problems he faced to the king at the top, and seemed very serious and responsible, I have to say that this magistrate has been convinced of this king since Sakura began to pardon the first time, and now he is even more dedicated to worship Sakura to the extreme.
"Coastal words...... I remember that in the void sea near Qingzhou and Mazhou, fishing is the largest industry outside of agriculture, right? Sakura frowned slightly, and then just for a moment, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head to look at the prefect and asked calmly.
"Yes, but fishing is only the tip of the iceberg, and only a few fishermen have smaller boats to catch ...... It's really hard to solve the urgent need with a glass of water! The magistrate replied to Sakura with a frown, and it seemed that he had also been investigated.
"In that case...... Chief Qiu, how much room for improvement is there in the trade with the Yan Kingdom? Turning her gaze to Bamo, who had separated the two people from the prefect, Sakura asked in her characteristic cold voice.
"Regarding this, Tsukazai and the Great Priest have already asked their subordinates before, according to the current situation, although the trade quota can still be increased, it will take time, and now the degree of improvement is the same as the fishing industry, it is still limited!"
Ba Mo's voice is very steady, and in the past two years, as an autumn official, he has become more and more orderly in handling the affairs of his opponents, and at the same time, he has also made a lot of contributions to Dai in foreign trade, which can be regarded as Sakura's right-hand man, and his words reveal a situation that is not optimistic.
"Your Lord, Your Majesty has a suggestion, and please listen to it." At this time, Xiao Zong, as the head of Xia, spoke out, and last year, he was transferred back from Wenzhou, which is also due to the fact that the things that Sakura explained have been successfully completed, and Wenzhou has also been governed by him quite stable, so that the new governor can take over relatively smoothly.
"As far as His Majesty knows, since the implementation of the 'military service', the sergeants have not resisted acting for the people, but are quite willing, and Wenzhou, as well as several other states, have a very rich harvest this year, plus a part of the treasury, it is enough to support Qingzhou and Mazhou, if the sergeants are sent to relay the transport, there is no need to worry about some unexpected situations, and this problem will definitely be solved."
After hearing Xiaozong's words, several people around nodded after thinking about it, and after many officials whispered to each other, they thought that this was a desirable method, and then focused their eyes on Sakura, who had not yet spoken, and waited.
"This method is indeed feasible, so it will be left to Governor Xia and the prefectural officials and the personnel of various states to discuss the details, but this is not a long-term method after all......
Sakura nodded slightly in everyone's expectation, affirming Xiaozong's suggestion, then frowned slightly, said slowly, and after thinking for a moment, raised his head and looked at Ba Mo.
"Judge Qiu, please contact the government now, and the matter of the envoy to the Yan Kingdom next month will be left to you to prepare." Sakura said something that seemed completely out of place in the look of surprise on the faces of the hundred officials.
"The Lord wants to go to the Wild Goose Country in person?!"
Xiaozong, Hanaying and the others all looked at Sakura with wide eyes, and they were a little surprised by Sakura's decision.
"Yes, it's time for Dai to deepen his cooperation with Yan, who made Yan the best engineering country among all the countries, and as a big country with the closest diplomatic relations with my country, Yu Li, I should also visit."
Sakura's cold voice completely settled the matter, and then, today's court meeting ended here, and at the same time, Sakura also began to think about some of her further things, whether it was about Dai or about her own doubts......
