Subsequently, Dai Yan and Zhao Xue met his brother, now Song Hou Zixi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally, when the head of the family sees his daughter-in-law, he has to give a dismount so that the man can discipline his daughter-in-law well. But now Zixi has no such plans, in his opinion, this brother-in-law has a respected status, and she also has the "murderous reputation" of breaking the Qin army, and her own momentum is above him, so why should he take his own humiliation?

Therefore, how to discipline his daughter-in-law, such a burden, he will not share for his younger brother! I'll leave it to my brother to explore it slowly in the future!

Zixi said to Zhao Xue with a pleasant face: "My brother and sister are so talented, it is really an honor for my Song Kingdom to be able to marry my Song Kingdom!" My Song Kingdom is located in the south, which is different from the Zhao Land in the north, can my younger brother and sister still get used to it? ”

Seeing that Song Hou did not embarrass her, Zhao Xue was also relieved, and then replied politely: "Song Kingdom is an ancient country with a long history, and its prosperity is even higher than my Zhao Kingdom!" The little sister came to this Song Kingdom, and it was too late to be happy, how could she not get used to it? ”

Zixi was also very happy to hear her answer, and then talked to her casually, and finally rewarded her with a heavy gift, which was a real recognition of her becoming a member of the royal family.

Seeing that Dai Yan had no intention of refusing this, Zhao Xue also put away all the gifts. In this way, even if this meeting is completed, the two only need to return to the temple again three months later to pay homage to confirm that the relationship between husband and wife is finalized, and the wedding procedure is completed.

Of course, Dai Yan couldn't stay in Suiyang stupidly like this and wait for three months. He only stayed in Suiyang for three days, and after Zhao Xue and her entourage rested, Dai Yan began to carefully count his property.

Now the husband and wife have a total of four cities in their hands, Dai Yan has Fengyi and Taoqiu, and Zhao Xue has Lin Yi and Qiu You. Among Zhao Xue's fiefdoms, Lin Yi was the border town she had acquired because of her military exploits, while Qiu You was a city located in the north of Jinyang, which was originally an area of Di people's activities, and became the territory of Zhao after being conquered by Zhao for hundreds of years.

Although she also enjoys the ownership of these two cities, even the resources near these two cities, the surrounding pastures and other vast areas belong to her. Dai Yan only took a rough look at the location of the two cities on the map, and he could almost tell that there must be a large number of coal mines near these two cities!

Do you want to turn your wife into the world's No. 1 coal boss? Dai Yan thought like a prank in his heart.

Of course, in Zhao Xue's territory, the most important output is actually animal husbandry. Now that she has married into the Song Kingdom, she naturally loses the right to manage the two cities, and all she can have is the economic interests of the territory, which is actually equivalent to a big landlord. Even if the territory in Zhao Xue's hands is much larger than Dai Yan's, it really can't be compared with Dai Yan's real feudal monarch with governing power!

Whether it is Fengyi in Dai Yan's hands, or the Taoqiu that he will govern, this can be regarded as his real territory! These two places, according to the laws of this era, should first obey his will, and then the will of the Song Kingdom!

This can be regarded as the sequelae left by the Song State, as a large princely power, unable to completely centralize power.

Dai Yan took Zhao Xue together, and the two led a huge team to Fengyi for inspection. Unlike Dai Yan who traveled to Fengyi for the first time six years ago and was hostile to the common people of Fengyi, this time he returned to Fengyi, and the people here spontaneously stopped their work and began to welcome the return of the monarch!

All this is of course because of the great changes that have taken place in Fengyi in the past few years, which have brought about a change in the mentality of the common people.

Before the Battle of Xuzhou in Qichu that year, Dai Yan fabricated a well-established bureaucracy in Fengyi composed of peasants and Mohists. Throughout Fengyi, as small as any village, there are disciples of the peasant family and the Mo family who go there in person to give all the common people the most advanced agricultural tools and promote the most advanced agricultural technology.

This is equivalent to the future generations, the world's most advanced university of science and agricultural university experts and professors, down to a county poverty alleviation, each village with a science and engineering professor and an agricultural expert to guide the farmers! Under such strong measures, can this county not quickly get rid of poverty and become rich?

In today's Fengyi, each family now has more than five metal farm tools, which was unimaginable before! The grain grown in Fengyi today has also been replaced by wheat from the earlier chestnuts.

Because even the most stubborn guys like the Lexin family know that it is far more cost-effective to grow wheat than millet!

When you grow wheat, the yield of one acre of land is more than twice that of millet! And unlike millet, which can only be planted once a year, wheat can be planted twice a year! This is equivalent to a fourfold increase in Fengyi's annual grain production compared to before!

And this increase in food production is sustainable, and such an increase in labor productivity is amazing! The most common feeling it brings to the low-level people of Fengyi is that it used to work hard every year for a year, and it was very good to be able to ensure that they would not starve to death. Now don't talk about starvation, every family has more food to exchange for more wealth!

The common people of this era have very low requirements, and it is very good to let yourself and your family eat a full meal and live. And unlike the unpalatable millet before, because of the Mo family's strong research and development capabilities, they quickly developed a tool with a simple principle of stone grinding. Wheat could be easily ground into flour, and what was made from flour taught them how to cook bread, steamed buns, and noodles in his correspondence with Tian Jiu.

The wisdom of the common people at the bottom is infinite! After having these three foods as a demonstration, they quickly spontaneously came up with the practice of buns and dumplings, and even some people had extremely unique ideas and made some unique foods, which they didn't even know Dai Yan, but they tasted a unique flavor!

When Dai Yan and Zhao Xue returned to Fengyi, they were confronted by these enthusiastic commoners, who were lining up to offer the most delicious food in their hands to their lords and mothers! Dai Yan is okay, most of the taste of these foods he has tasted in later generations, and he doesn't feel much about it; And Zhao Xue had never seen these unique foods before, and she was extremely satisfied after tasting them, and her combat effectiveness in this area also exploded greatly, and she was directly surrounded by ordinary people before she gave up!

In addition to the changes in the lives of the common people at the bottom brought about by agricultural productivity, the other more important changes in Fengyi are the changes brought to the city by the great development of handicrafts.

Before Dai Yan left the Song Kingdom, the Mo family had already broken through the large-scale production of paper. After more than two years, this large-scale production began to become more and more stable, and the quality of the paper produced by Fengyi has also been greatly improved.

As the most important source of wealth in Fengyi, the tea industry is also developing rapidly in Fengyi. Although tea is also a kind of agriculture, with the beginning of large-scale consumption of tea in Zhao State, this fashionable custom gradually spread throughout the northern countries, and Qi, Zhongshan, and Yan also began to drink tea, which made the scale of tea larger and larger, and the scale of the tea processing workshop in Fengyi also expanded!

The prosperity of tea has made some changes in the appearance of male farmers and female weavers in Fengyi. In the eyes of the people of Fengyi, how can the little money obtained from weaving cloth be as much as the income from picking tea for the lord? In this context, there are very few people who grow mulberry and silkworms in Fengyi today, and most women will go to the tea field to pick tea in their spare time.

In addition to the two major sources of wealth, paper and tea, the high-quality farm tools created by the Mojia have also become one of the best-selling products of Fengyi! Although they do not have technical experts and poverty alleviation experts like the Mo family and the farmer family to help them personally, they can still see the huge benefits brought by these farm tools!

Therefore, the nobles, landlords, and even some small chiefs in the East China Sea around Fengyi sent people to Fengyi from time to time to purchase the latest agricultural tools. And these farm tools were widely acclaimed, and later, even the surrounding Teng Kingdom, and even Dai Yan's enemy Xue Gong personally sent people to purchase them!

This has transformed Fengyi from a purely agricultural town into a commercial town, which is really amazing!

You must know that the Song Kingdom can't help but be commercial, and the three capitals of the Song Kingdom, Taoqiu, Suiyang, and Pengcheng are all big commercial cities! These three cities are generally located in geographical positions, and after years of development, their adsorption capacity for surrounding businesses is extremely strong! And although Pengcheng is the least famous of the three capitals of the Song Kingdom, it is also an absolute commercial center in the transactions with Zhuyi in the East China Sea, Wuyue in the south, and even Qilu in the north!

And Fengyi was able to snatch a part of its business with its strong handicraft capabilities! What is it? This Nima will be put in the future to Shenzhen to rob Hong Kong's business!
