Chapter 093: Step by step

The construction of the wood art market is still in full swing, and Kui Da is already a little impatient.

"Guang'an Hou, can the renovation plan be more compact?" In the palace, Kui Da asked Xizhen while drinking black tea. His expression seemed to be amiable, but there was a bit of severity in his eyes.

"King, just as everything has to wait for its best time to reap the best results, the renovation plan must be carried out step by step, of course, the courtiers can reveal the next plan to you first, but the action must be completed in the wood art market to more than seventy percent, because only in this way can we transfer nearly half of the manpower from there."

"Is it another very big operation?" Kui Da asked.

"Yes." Xi Zhen replied.

"That means it will take at least another month and a half before you can act?"

Hee Zhen nodded.

"Oh, it's the height of summer." Kui Da deliberately made a very anxious expression.

"That's right, but we can start preparing now."

"I want to hear about it."

"Okay, first of all, what the courtiers want to state is that the original intention of helping your country to rejuvenate and prosper is to transform your country beyond recognition, but to develop it according to your country's advantages and make it competitive."

"Lone understands."

"Therefore, in this purpose, the courtiers want to make a major transformation of the mountains and forests of the entire globe country."

"Didn't you say that you should play to your country's strengths? The country's mountain and forest resources are the biggest advantage! ”

"That's right, but you're only half right. The courtiers just want to give full play to the advantages of the mountains and forests of the ball country. ”

"Oh, please." Kui Da said.

"The courtiers plan to use the entire west, north, and east of the globe to grow timber of economic value. Remove miscellaneous trees, grasses, barren forests, etc., and reclaim them into patches of mountainous land. Rosewood, fir, rubberwood, rosewood, sandalwood, walnut, elm, etc., are planted on them and planted according to the soil quality to which they are suitable, and the land users of the area are responsible for planting and protecting them, and the income from the sale of these timber shall belong to them, subject to a tax of 10 per cent of the total income of the State. ”

Kuida's eyes widened and he sat straighter.

Oh, my God. What a wonderful idea! In the past, he and his people knew that the country had to rely on the mountains to eat, but they never thought of this trick.

This trick. You can make full use of the mountain and forest resources of the globe country.

It's wonderful!

"In this way, the country has become the country with the world's largest wood market and the most complete timber forest. The two complement each other, and there is no need to worry about the economy not being able to get up. Xizhen said.

"Indeed, indeed. Guang'an Hou's strategy is really an eye-opener for Lonely! Kui Da nodded repeatedly.

"The king has won the prize! Other than that. Because there are many plains in the south, crops should still be cultivated. However, there are also high mountains in the south, and we can grow sorghum, cotton, peanuts, etc. in the high mountains in the south, so that not only can we ensure the maximum food supply, but we can also make clothes from cotton, and make peanuts into oil, and the problem of food and clothing can be basically solved. ”

"Uh-huh. Reasonable! ”

"Then, because the Ball Xi border is on the south side. We can further expand the southern border trade market, increase the circulation of commodities, and further solve the problem of grain purchases. ”

"Uh-huh."

"After the completion of the wood art market, the king can invite the kings or representatives of neighboring countries to visit, which is the most effective publicity, and may bring a lot of business opportunities to the world."

"Yes, it may attract a lot of people from other countries to do business and shop."

"Yes, even if the trade between the two countries does not take effect immediately, when they want to buy the best wood products, they will think of the country first." Xi Zhen said.

"Well, you're really good at it!" Kui Da gave her a thumbs up.

"I want to immediately tell the good news to the queen, the crown prince, and the civil and military officials, so that everyone can share this joyful moment, and at the same time let everyone see your extraordinary intelligence."

"Thank you, King!" Shen Xizhen replied calmly, as if those exciting things were not worth mentioning.

"Lone is very happy today, let's have a meal together tonight, right? I invite you to eat the most famous 'pheasant pot' in the country." Kui Da said happily.

"Okay, but I wonder if I can invite the other three envoys of the Xi Kingdom to join us?" Xi Zhen said busily.

Since he said 'let's have dinner together tonight', it means that the queen, the crown prince, the prime minister and others will not be present, and such a meal of a man and a woman will inevitably make her a little vigilant.

So she hurriedly said so.

"Of course, how can you miss them?" Kui Da said, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

This woman is clever!

…………

It is said that since he learned that the third prince had a marriage contract with the princess of the ball country, Jiang Weibai deliberately avoided Chu Ziyao.

Chu Ziyao came to the Xiyi Pavilion every day to look for her, and she thought of various ways to avoid it.

This made Chu Ziyao anxious.

In order not to annoy her, he also stopped going to the art hall with interest.

He didn't come, and she wasn't used to it, thinking that he had given up on her.

Thinking like this, she couldn't lift her spirits for days.

For the first time in her life, she experienced the taste of falling out of love.

Therefore, every day when I came home from class, I would hide in my room and cry.

Now that Xizhen is in the country again, she has no one to talk to, and she feels sad and sad about this lovelorn day.

One day, when she walked out of the palace gate with the qin in her arms, she saw Chu Ziyao standing at the palace gate waiting for her from a distance, and suddenly the corners of her eyes were hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head and continued to walk her carriage towards her as if she didn't see him.

Chu Ziyao ran to her again, stared at her with both eyes and asked, "Is it because of my engagement to the princess of the ball country?" ”

"It's not." Jiang Weibai didn't raise his eyes to look at him, and replied lightly.

"That's it, I see you're about to burst into tears."

"That's not about it." Jiang Weibai said stubbornly.

"If it has nothing to do with this, why did you see me hiding? I really...... Does that annoy you? He asked, looking at her slightly lowered face with broken eyes.

God knows how uncomfortable he felt every time he saw her avoiding him.

"You have a marriage contract, how dare I get too close to you?" Soon, she said softly.

A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Isn't it because of that incident, isn't it all exposed?" Let's go and sit in the park in front of us for a while, I have something to say to you. ”

After that, he didn't mind the strange eyes of the driver who was waiting for her to get into the car, and pulled her and ran to the park next to him.

He ran faster and faster, and she could only follow with the hem of her skirt in one hand.

She was very happy at such a moment.

It was her dream to be led forward by him.

After sitting down in the park, he said: "I have already told my father that I only have you in my heart, and my father has agreed that I will marry you as the second wife, but this is too wronged by you." ”

"I naturally don't dare to call the shots about these things, if you really have this intention, please ask the emperor for instructions."

"So—you don't mind being my second lady anymore?" Chu Ziyao was overjoyed.

"Even if I mind, so what? It's naturally not good for me to fight with the princess of a country and a people's daughter, right? ”

"It's rare that you know so much about righteousness, and I will not fail you. Tomorrow, I will play this matter with my father, hoping that it can be completed smoothly. “

"Okay."

Chu Ziyao gently held her slender jade hand and said, "Do you remember the first time we met on the Yanque Tower? At that glance, I recognized you in my heart and knew that you were the person I was looking for in this life. ”

Jiang Weibai's eyes suddenly became hot, and tears welled up.

Holding back tears, she gently shook his hand back.

"What's wrong? Don't you like me? Chu Ziyao deliberately teased her.

"No, I recognized you from the first time I saw you."

"So, we are destined to be married." He said, gently taking her into his arms.

……………………………

As night fell, Xi Zhen, who was sitting in her room, began to work slowly, and soon she came up with her latest calculations.

Sure enough, as she predicted, Kui Da's heart did not intend to assign ten cities to Xi Guo, nor did he intend to marry the princess far away to Xi Guo, he just threw a very tempting bait to Xi Guo.

"Huh." She smiled faintly, and already had a plan for the next step in her heart.

A month and a half later, the construction of the carpentry market was seventy percent complete. Kui Da immediately drew nearly half of his manpower from Xizhen's plan to reclaim the mountains and forests.

The country is densely forested and overgrown with wild trees, and it is not easy to open it up.

Therefore, Xizhen expects that this work will take two and a half months to complete, which will be the day when she has been in the country for seven months.

It's been nearly half a year in the blink of an eye! She sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but miss her family and King Qingping.

Don't worry, I'll be back soon. She said with a smile in her heart.

…………………

Xizhen personally went to the mountains and forests to cheer for everyone.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying much attention, she hid in the jungle like lightning, and with three strokes and two strokes, she turned into an ordinary mountain dweller and walked gently towards the three envoys.

At first, they didn't recognize her, but she immediately showed it with a look and a movement.

The three of them were immediately shocked by her superb disguise skills.

"I have calculated that the king does not want to give us those ten cities." Xi Zhen said softly to Li Changsheng.

"So what are we going to do?" Li Changsheng asked hurriedly.

"For the time being, the same should be the same." She said.

"Hey, that buddy, everyone is working, what are you going to the envoy to talk about? Why don't you hurry up and help chop wood? Someone called her. (To be continued......)
