Chapter 81: Fiefdom
"Your Excellency, you... You mean... Leave it to me? Zhu Qunyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. Zhu Qunyi used to be a somewhat ambitious person, since he became the county magistrate of Luling County, he also wanted to make some remarkable achievements, but the gap between reality and ideals is huge, and the situation in Luling County completely broke his dream. After a period of hard thinking and struggle, Zhu Qunyi finally realized that he was powerless to change the status quo in Luling County, so in the end, Zhu Qunyi simply let go of political affairs, eating, drinking and having fun every day, and living one day at a time.
"Of course I'll leave it to you, the question is whether you can do it well?"
"Yes!" Zhu Qunyi's face turned red, his back was straight, and he replied in a voice several times larger than just now.
Qian Buli smiled and nodded, his biggest headache now is that there is no one available, although he only has a slight affection for Zhu Qunyi, but he can only let the other party continue to serve as the county lord. Governing one side's water and soil and marching and fighting are two completely different things, even if the money does not leave him, he would rather take 3,000 people to meet the opponent's 10,000 army than sit here to manage political affairs, no experience has no confidence.
"Lord Commander, you terrace... Did you come up with it yourself? Jia Tianxiang greeted him.
"Hmmm... Your Highness, Lord Count, you are here. Qian Buli found out that Ji Shengqing and the two of them nodded: "This is my idea, as for the effect, it depends on our luck." "It's hard to say whether others will show flaws when they lie, but Qian Buli has never changed his face and his heart has never beaten when he talks about panic, not to mention a small plagiarism!
Zhu Qunyi's waist was only straightened for a short moment, and when he heard the words 'Your Highness', his body began to sink, and he knelt on the ground with a slump and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness... Although he couldn't remember how he teased His Highness Ji Shengqing last night, this incident was undoubtedly a terrible nightmare for him.
"Get up." Ji Sheng said indifferently, she didn't have any good feelings for Zhu Qunyi, but she could see that Qian Buli wanted to use this person, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't continue to make things difficult, so she could only wait until there was no one to find Qian Buli and ask about it.
"Baron, don't be too polite, Your Highness will get up if you want to get up." Jia Tianxiang saw that Ji Shengqing seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, and he would not force himself to come out, Jia Tianxiang turned his gaze to Qian Buli: "Lord Commander, do you know what this terrace means?" ”
"My lordship, my experience in politics is far less than yours." Qian Buli scratched his head and said tentatively: "It means that Fuzhou is no longer a barren land?" ”
"It's not just that it's no longer barren, it's rich!" Jia Tianxiang's eyes were bright: "You must know that the people take food as the sky, if we implement terraces throughout Fuzhou, then... ”
"That's your business, it's none of my business." Qian Buli smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Jia Tianxiang's words: "What I need is that when I fight in the future, I will have no worries!" "There is a Zhu Qunyi here who can't be fully trusted, so Qian Buli said very vaguely.
Jia Tianxiang pondered for a while: "The spring plowing season is coming, and we will not see the results this year, so we will have to wait until next year." ”
Zhu Qunyi was a little confused, but he didn't have the courage to ask the three 'giants' in front of him where to fight, and after listening to Jia Tianxiang's words, he was a little timid and continued: "Actually... You can see the effect this year, too. ”
"Oh?" Qian Buli's eyes focused on Zhu Qunyi together.
Zhu Qunyi plucked up his courage: "Your Highness, the two adults may not know that if you grow rice in Fuzhou, you can cultivate it twice a year. As long as the terraces can be built within five months, they can be planted once this year. ”
Jia Tianxiang was stunned, and then laughed: "Okay, it looks like this, Fuzhou is really Fuzhou!" ”
Qian Buli glanced at Zhu Qunyi with some appreciation, this person is a little thoughtful, not a straw bag! Qian Buli's eyes turned to the map, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "It stands to reason that Luling County should not be so poor, isn't there still a Luling iron mine?" ”
Zhu Qunyi smiled bitterly: "My lord, you don't know, the ore dug up by the Luling Iron Mine will be forged into raw iron on the spot, and nine of the achievements will be handed over to the cabinet, leaving us only one percent, just this one... I still have to hand over half of the Fuzhou government, and after the remaining half is sold, I will also pay the miners and blacksmiths, and Luling County will also be responsible for the transportation of the original iron. ”
"How can this be true? Isn't Fuzhou the fief of His Royal Highness? Qian Buli shouted.
Zhu Qunyi looked at Qian Buli stupidly, silent.
Jia Tianxiang glanced at Qian Buli on the side: "Baron, you go out to do your business first, and then call you when we need it." ”
Zhu Qunyi saluted and retreated.
Seeing Zhu Qunyi leave, Jia Tianxiang smiled and said to Qian Buli: "Lord Commander, you don't know much about the national conditions of my Ji Zhou Kingdom, although the fief belongs to the individual, but the mineral deposits in the fief belong to the state. ”
"Even if it is state-owned, Luling County should not be so poor." Qian Buli still didn't understand: "Your snow gold mine... ”
Jia Tianxiang interrupted Qian Buli's words with a smile: "Didn't I tell you?" I have a secret agreement with Your Majesty, and you are wrong to judge others by my standards. ”
"That's right..." Qian Buli groaned for a while: "I still don't understand something, Fuzhou is the fief of His Royal Highness, but why are there so many other nobles' fiefs in Fuzhou?" "When Qian Buli was looking at the county records just now, he found that there were seventeen aristocratic families in Luling County, although their highest title was only a baron, but the total amount of land they owned had exceeded a quarter of the land in Luling County, which Qian Buli could not understand or accept! It's a headache to think about, when various political reforms are tried out in the future, it will cause all kinds of resistance, and the nobles and nobles are all mutually ventilated, and the whole body will be affected by one trigger.
