Gao Gan accompanied Yuan Xu for a tour of Jinyang City.

There are many shops in the city, street vendors are like clouds, and the people come and go with foreign merchants, which is much more lively than Yecheng.

accompanied Yuan Xu, in addition to Tian Feng and Deng Zhan.

By the time I finished visiting Jinyang City, it was already nightfall.

Back at the mansion, Yuan Xu did not immediately go back to the room to see Zhen Mi, but invited Tian Feng to the study.

"What do you think of Taiyuan?" He asked Tian Feng.

"Gao Gan has really done a lot of things in Bingzhou in the past few years." Tian Feng replied: "The city is well organized, but it saves the son a lot of trouble." ”

"I seem to owe him a lot of favors." Yuan Xu pouted and smiled: "Why do you think he did this?" ”

"When Gongzi came to Taiyuan, there were nothing more than two roads in front of him. First, he is the enemy of Gongzi to protect Taiyuan, and at the same time, he will also make enemies of the Yuan family. Second, let Taiyuan keep the state. Tian Feng replied: "If I were him, I would choose the latter." ”

"In this way, the favor is not heavy."

"Of course." Tian Feng replied: "Gao Gan is good at seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Otherwise, the lord has so many nephews and nephews, why did he do the history of the state assassination? ”

Yuan Xu nodded, and then asked, "When we came to Taiyuan, what do you think is the first thing to do?" ”

"Didn't Childe say that he would increase agricultural production and increase population." Tian Feng replied: "On the way here, I noticed that there is a lot of wasteland in Taiyuan, and we need to implement strategies to encourage people to farm. ”

"I'm going to change the crop cultivation in Taiyuan." Yuan Xu said: "The corn yield is too low, so I want to bring in rice and distribute the seeds to the people. ”

"Rice is grown in the south, and it doesn't seem to produce much more than corn." Tian Feng was at a loss: "Does the son want to plant grain in the south and grow in the north?" ”

"Isn't that possible?" Yuan Xu replied: "I think as long as the planting method is appropriate, there is nothing wrong with the grain in the south being cultivated in the north." ”

The reason why he is so confident is actually because he has the cognition of 2,000 years later.

In the era when I lived, the most famous was Tohoku rice.

In the northeast, in winter, the climate is cold, and rice can still be grown, why can't Taiyuan?

"If the crop doesn't grow well, it's a whole year of delay." Tian Feng shook his head: "Childe's plan is to take a dangerous ......"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" Yuan Xu replied: "If you don't take risks, how can you increase Taiyuan's grain production?" ”

Tian Feng disagrees with his view.

The grain from the south is cultivated in the north, and if the crops do not grow, the people will go hungry......

If there is no food in the land, famine will be everywhere.

Once a famine breaks out, it cannot be suppressed at will.

"I think Childe still has to think about it." Tian Feng said: "This move is indeed too risky. ”

"Actually, I not only want to introduce rice to Taiyuan, but also plan to introduce other crops." Yuan Xu said: "For example, wheat, cotton, and chickens, ducks and geese that grow very fast. ”

Tian Feng knew about wheat, but he had never heard of cotton.

He looked dazed: "The cotton that Childe said is ......"

Yuan Xu then remembered that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, silk or ramie was used to weave cloth.

The origin of cotton is in Southwest Asia, and it has not yet been introduced to the Central Plains.

"You'll know when I get something." He smiled indifferently: "It's not early, Yuan Hao should go back and rest." ”

Tian Feng was beating the drum in his heart.

After following Yuan Xu for some days, Tian Feng has developed an almost blind trust in him.

But this time, he was a little skeptical about whether Yuan Xu's choice was correct.

"Childe ......" He didn't leave, but made a suggestion: "I think we should still reclaim wasteland......"

"Of course the wasteland must be cultivated." Yuan Xu replied: "I got married to Zhen Ji, and officials from all over the country sent a lot of congratulatory gifts. All the congratulatory gifts were given to buy ploughing oxen, and all those who cultivated the land were given a ploughing ox to them. With ploughing cattle, reclamation will be faster. ”

"Childe really wants to use congratulatory gifts to buy ploughing cattle and distribute them to the people?" Tian Feng looked stunned.

The officials he has seen have always been scavenging for the people's fat and ointment, and occasionally he has met a man with clean sleeves, but only for the sake of being honest.

I have never seen someone like Yuan Xu who took office and paid for the cattle for the people.

"You'll have to do the whole thing." Yuan Xu confessed: "The world has been chaotic for many years, and the people have long been poor. While encouraging breeding, we must also encourage the breeding of cattle, donkeys, horses and other livestock. ”

"I'll do it when I get back." Tian Feng replied: "Early tomorrow morning, I will submit the proposed documents to Gongzi for inspection." ”

Yuan Xu nodded: "You go first." ”

Tian Feng retreated, and Yuan Xu took out the magic sound.

Fingers hooked the strings, first plucked slightly, and then played a tune.

His study was not far from Zhen Mi's bedroom.

Zhen Mi, who had already bathed and changed his clothes and was waiting for him in the room, heard the sound of the yaoqin outside, and asked the maid, "Is the husband playing the piano?" ”

The maid replied: "The sound of the piano came from the child's study, it should be him." ”

"It's so late, why are you still playing?" Zhen Mi beckoned to the maid: "Come with me and have a look." ”

The two of them went out and walked towards Yuan Xu's study.

In the study, Yuan Xu was full of black gas, and he was concentrating on stroking the piano.

In front of him, there were more than a dozen black shadows standing in a row.

The black shadow's face was hazy, and it was as black and misty as him, and the atmosphere in the study was eerie.

While he was playing the piano, he heard the door open.

Looking up, I saw Zhen Mi and the maid standing at the door with a frightened face looking at the more than a dozen black shadows in the house.

The more than ten black shadows in the room were all necromancers summoned by Yuan Xu.

The black mist shrouded them, and their bodies and facial features were very hazy, but they could faintly see the white bones looming in the black mist.

I had only heard that Yuan Xu could drive the dead, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, Zhen Mi and the maid were stupefied by the scene of eyeliner.

The two of them only felt that their legs were weak, they couldn't run at all if they wanted to run, and they wanted to shout, but they only opened their mouths slightly, and they couldn't even make a sound.

The necromancer was summoned, and Yuan Xu hadn't given the order yet.

They are all still in a semi-chaotic state.

Suddenly, two living people appeared, immediately disturbing them.

More than a dozen necromancers first turned their heads to face Zhen Mi and the handmaidens standing outside the door, and then let out a whistling like the sound of the wind and rushed towards them.

The distance between the necromancer and Zhen Mi is very close.

It was going to be in front of her in an instant.

The maid was frightened and her legs were weak, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks.

Although Zhen Mi did not fall, she was also discolored, and she was already trembling.

Let her be pounced on by the necromancer, even Yuan Xu didn't know what would happen.

Surprised, Yuan Xu plucked the strings, and the ghost qin emitted a dull trill.

At the same time as the piano sounded, he shouted, "Disperse!" ”
