A horse-drawn carriage moves slowly through the wind and snow.

In the carriage, Fu Xiaoguan stretched his waist and looked at Bai Yulian, "I'm a third-rate master now, don't you follow the troops to the wasteland and follow me to run in the fields all day long, are you boring?" ”

Bai Yulian took a sip of the wine gourd and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan, "Boring!" ”

"What are you doing with me when you're bored? Aren't you worried that Chen Po will take the team to fight against the desolate? ”

"My sister-in-law entrusted your safety to me, what do you think I can do? The time you died, the three sisters-in-law died in despair, and you want to do it again...... How am I going to explain it to them? ”

Fu Xiaoguan took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the palace chief has just been captured, and there is not even a single bandit in Pingling Quyi now." ”

Bai Yulian didn't bother to pay attention to him, looking at the snow fluttering outside the window.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the distant mountains were white, and the near places were beginning to pile up.

"You say...... To give priority to the development of business in these two most difficult places, I have a question, for the people in these two places, is money or life important? ”

"Are you stupid, if you have money but no life, you have a fart, and if you have a life and no money, they are now bitter."

"So why not prioritize agriculture? Xishan's sweet potato, didn't you say that the yield per mu can be 5,000 catties? Let them plant first, if you hurry up and get those workshops first, won't they starve to death? ”

On this issue, in the court of the Yu Dynasty that day, Yan Beixi and Qin Huizhi had an hour-long debate, but in this carriage, Fu Xiaoguan only said two words to Bai Yulian:

"Money can buy food, and as soon as the construction site starts, they can see the money immediately. But farming is not good, sweet potatoes have to be planted in April, until October, almost now there is a harvest, you tell me about the nearly a year, how did they live? ”

This is the first thing, and the second is that the so-called parallel development of commerce and agriculture does not mean that agriculture has been abandoned. In my opinion, agriculture has to be put after business. In other words, for the farmers here, it is more important for them to earn money first than for them to farm. ”

"Silver is a good thing, and it's full of hope when it looks shiny. This person, as long as there is hope, he has expectations for the future, and he will feel that he has a head, and no matter how hard it is, he will have the courage to live. ”

"Xiaobai, only when these peasants' pockets are bulging, everything will be fine, which roughly needs to be ...... Three years. ”

Bai Yulian listened carefully, he was a soldier and didn't know much about these things.

In his cognition, the peasant is naturally waiting for the crops in the field, and he is completely puzzled as to what it has to do with commerce.

At this moment, listening to Fu Xiaoguan's words, I vaguely understood that it was probably after the farmers' wallets bulged that they were qualified to consume. And once they consume, they can promote the circulation of goods, which in turn promotes the prosperity of commerce.

"So, business and agriculture are one?"

This is not entirely true, but it should be said that they have become complementary to each other. Merchants need food, farmers need commodities for daily needs, and each takes what he needs, which is trading. ”

"People, as long as they are a normal person, they have several levels of needs."

"Today, the farmers in Yongning Prefecture are at the lowest level of demand, that is, they are well fed, clothed and warm, and have a cold house to shelter from the wind and rain, which is a physiological need."

"When they meet their physiological needs, you can understand that after solving the problem of food, clothing and accommodation, their needs will rise to a higher level, which is the need for safety. This can be understood as a need for a stable income, protection from fear and anxiety – that is, a stable and secure life. ”

"So we need to provide them with a stable job, so that they can get a stable income, and provide them with sweet potato seeds, so that their output in the field can be guaranteed to survive."

"This is what I need to do at the moment, in fact, not only these two places, the western wilderness of the Yu Dynasty, and even many barren places in the Yu Dynasty, this is a problem that needs to be solved urgently."

Bai Yulian's handsome face was full of admiration, he kept looking at Fu Xiaoguan, listening to Fu Xiaoguan tell him these things he had never heard or thought about - these things are the major things of the society and the people's livelihood in Bai Yulian's view.

Such a big thing was said through Fu Xiaoguan's easy-to-understand words, and he understood the truth, and only then did he know what this little landlord was running around in this bitter cold place these days.

He really wanted to save these people!

"Since you have such an idea, wouldn't it be better to realize your ambition when you become the emperor of the Wu Dynasty?"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "This is different, Xiaobai, look, in this Yu Dynasty, I relied on my own strength to save the people from fire and water, is this a great thing?" ”

This is indeed a great thing, Bai Yulian nodded.

"But in the Wu Dynasty, as the emperor, he only needs to issue a few orders, and there is a group of people below to carry them out, the emperor sits on the Jinluan Hall all day long, how can he be as dashing in the snow as you and I am? It's different, I tell you, that's what I'm pursuing at my current level. ”

"The pursuit of the highest state - the need for self-realization! I wanted to see how far I could go and if I could make a difference in the world...... Don't look at me like that, I'm a little proud, you just let me snort for a while? ”

You're so sassy, it's too thick-skinned!

Bai Yulian snatched the wine gourd and took a big sip, "No, I think you're running away-"

He stared at Fu Xiaoguan and said very seriously: "You were born in the Yu Dynasty and grew up in the Yu Dynasty, in your consciousness, you are a person from the Yu Dynasty and the eldest young master of the Fu Mansion." But this change of identity came too suddenly, and your consciousness was resistant, so you ran away and threw the burden to Wu Ling'er. ”

"We are brothers, I don't care what bullshit identity you are, I just want to say to you, men, not just live for yourself. Especially a man with great skills like you, you are now living for the people of these two places in Pingling and Quyi, why can't you live for the people of the Wu Dynasty? ”

"I'm not trying to persuade you to commit treason, but I'm trying to say ...... When you hold the important weapon of the country, you will definitely be able to write the most beautiful chapter in this world! ”

Fu Xiaoguan fell silent.

Bai Yulian's serious words were actually right, as an alien soul, he was already familiar with the Yu Dynasty, and chose a kind of self-protection, feeling that it would be safer in a place he was familiar with.

For the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, he once thought carefully about it in the Jinghu Courtyard, but when he had the opportunity to carry the burden, he still chose to carry the burden.

"Let's talk about it in a few years, let's solve the in front of us first."

"What's the?"

"Go and see Zhang Wenhan, the commander of Pingling County."
