Chapter 354: Play
"He's a prince, a busy man, and this kind of leisure and elegance." Xi Muyun smiled and said, it seems that only by chattering like this can he feel less uncomfortable.
"In the past, he was exiled, depressed, and could only taste tea, a little leisurely and elegant." Qi Lichen said.
"Things in life are really changeable, I was originally a prince who had no ambition, but I never thought that he would return to the capital so soon, and it is very likely that the crown prince will fall into his hands." Xi Muyun said with a smile.
"What do you think?" Qi Lichen suddenly cared about her feelings.
Xi Muyun thought for a while, and said with a smile: "What can I think, to put it mildly, I am just a flat-headed commoner, I will never be involved in political turmoil, for me, whoever is the emperor can be, as long as he can make the people live a good life, I used to have faith, but in this era, there will be no such faith, so, it is all the same." ”
Qi Lichen nodded, perhaps what Xi Muyun represented was the voice of the majority of the people.
"War, what do you think about war?" Qi Lichen asked.
"What's wrong with you lately? How to ask these inexplicable questions? "Even if Xi Muyun is not smart, he has come back to his senses.
"I just want to hear your opinion, you are talented, you should not only use it in business, you should also have some views on current affairs." Qi Lichen said.
"War for me, of course, I hate it, war together, will cause economic depression in many places, for me, a businessman, naturally unwilling, and war, there are countless young people will be uprooted, be recruited into the army, how many parents lose the opportunity to reunite their children and families, not to mention, if the two are equal, it may be a scorching war for several years, for the people, but also to endure the invasion of war at all times." Xi Muyun said, shaking his head.
As he was talking, he heard Xu Zhi shouting outside the door: "It's landed, get off the boat." ”
Xi Muyun immediately got up, "I don't want to stay on this ship for another day, let's take a walk below, I may feel a lot better." ”
Qi Lichen didn't ask these questions again, but fell into deep thought.
He just thought about revenge, and he thought, isn't revenge the same as those people back then? The indiscriminate killing of innocents and the involvement of so many people in this war are no regime that can be seized without war and bloodshed.
He thoughtfully disembarked.
The scenery was so beautiful that he didn't have the heart to look at it.
Seeing this, Xi Muyun pulled his arm, "It seems that my business has really come here." ”
With that, she pointed to the water wheel pump in the river, the pipes were distributed throughout the town, especially on the high ground, and the iron machines reflected in the sunlight.
Qi Lichen smiled, "Then will I rely on you to raise me in the future?" ”
"That's no problem, although the money I make now is not enough for us to eat and drink for a lifetime, it may only be a meager profit, but there will definitely be higher profits in the future, but your Qingyu Pavilion's business should not be bad." Xi Muyun smiled, "If you want, I can raise you." ”
Qi Lichen laughed, "No woman said she wanted to support me, it's really a novelty." ”
Xi Muyun's face turned red, "Then I'm the only one and the last." ”
"Of course." Qi Lichen smiled.
Xu Buzhi got off the boat, "Don't flirt with each other, just do what you want to do, we don't have much time to delay here." ”
"Xu Qing, you really don't understand the amorous feelings, people are obviously here to flirt, of course this is the right thing." Gu Jianglin said with a smile.
"The fifth prince seems to be in a good mood lately." Xi Muyun shook his head with a smile, "But the fifth prince must not say such things in public, girls are thin-skinned, how can I be embarrassed by such words?" ”
In fact, he said that he didn't believe it, his face was thin, and he didn't seem to have a trace of shyness.
Gu Jianglin smiled, maybe the knot in his heart was untied, the knot that had been between him and his father was slowly untied, although his father was the current emperor, there was still a trace of suspicion and distrust, but this time, the good things he did were not ignored by him, but praised him.
He is a child who longs for his father's love, he has been exiled, and he has not even returned to Beijing for many years, and he has not seen the emperor for many years, he thought that he had been abandoned, but now he has not, and he has seen such a beautiful scenery, how can he not feel comfortable?
I hope that after returning to the capital, everything will go smoothly.
Qi Lichen understood what he meant.
Xi Muyun stopped saying these words and led them towards the valley.
There is also a lot of land suitable for cultivation in the mountains, the villagers have developed them, watered the land, although it is summer, if you look at it from a distance, a green ear, may be ripe in less than a month, the climate here is good, the crops are not unexpected, and in the autumn you can also grow some vegetables.
The villagers saw a few outsiders coming over and looked at them with some curiosity.
Xi Muyun asked the villagers with a smile: "May I ask if you rent or buy these machines?" ”
"Of course, it's rented, it's very expensive to sell machinery, more than a dozen taels of silver, if you rent a machine, you can give five percent of the grain per acre of land, and everyone in the village can use it." The villager said.
"Is this year's grain production significantly higher than last year's?" Xi Muyun asked with a smile.
"That's natural, I didn't expect that we could grow this kind of food in this place." The villagers smiled, "After the harvest this autumn, you can exchange these grains for money." ”
Xi Muyun took a deep breath, pointed to this large area of crops and said: "After these crops are mature, I will own five percent per mu of land, which is not a small number, not to mention that many areas are also renting in this way to rent our machines, and the grain will be more at that time, I have opened up some more land in Nancun, and the grain produced at that time will be about two or three thousand stones in my hands, I don't know if I can solve the urgent need?" ”
"If all the grain is sold to the state treasury, it will naturally feed the victims, and it can even be used as military rations. Gu Jianglin was quite shocked and said, "How can you have so many ideas as a girl? ”
Xi Muyun took a deep breath, smiled and said: "Last year, I felt that there was a shortage of grain, and grain may be this year's hard currency, so the manufacture of the water wheel pump is to facilitate the growth of the grain industry, and secondly, to let those villagers who have no money rent our machines, and then hand over the grain to me, I will take the lead in these grains, and when the time comes, the high-priced grain will not be sold, and the price will gradually become lower, and the treasury can also take this opportunity to collect a sum of grain. However, it is not easy for these farmers to grow food, and the price cannot be too low. ”
"It turns out that you have thought about it a long time ago, you are really far-sighted, you can think of dozens of steps when you take one step." Gu Jianglin said with emotion: "I originally thought that this was just a small town for planting rice, but when I remembered that in the past, they could not grow rice in the fields because of the problem that the water source could not be led from low to high. ”
Such a woman also has a great sensitivity to the government, and she also has a forward-looking mind, which is not comparable to ordinary men, and he looked at Xi Muyun twice.
