What surprised Fu Yuanling was that the smelting workshop also recorded a lot of silver, and it seemed that after the Creation Bureau stopped being embarrassed, everything in the smelting workshop was on the right track, and it really got better.

When Xiao Jiuqi came back to his senses, he saw his daughter-in-law's happy little appearance, and her eyes were bright as if they were full of stars.

"What's so fun?"

Fu Yuanling glanced up at Xiao Jiuqi when he heard the voice, and then said: "This year, the commercial banks around the country have made good income, so it is naturally a happy thing." ”

Oh, his daughter-in-law is making money again.

That's good news.

Fu Yuanling finished reading the last book, and then put away the account book, and saw that Xiao Jiuqi didn't know what he was thinking, and packed up everything, and Xiao Jiuqi also turned his head to look at her.

"The Bureau of Creation and the Western Suburbs have teamed up to come up with a specific charter, what do you think of it?" Xiao Jiuqi asked.

Fu Yuanling didn't expect Xiao Jiuqi to ask this, thought about it and said: "You know the situation of Yuzhiguan and Xilinguan, cultivate fertile land, increase grain planting, and work only when you have a full stomach." ”

"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. There is a lot of wind and sand over there, and it is not easy for crops to survive. ”

"I discussed with Mrs. Yan, you can try to see if you can grow some dry and drought-resistant medicinal herbs."

"You can also grow medicinal herbs, and if you can survive, everyone will have an income."

"It is dangerous to reclaim the land, and the land outside the border is often roamed by people from northern Xinjiang, and it is not safe to reclaim it for planting, so it must be guarded by guards from time to time."

"So it's a headache, and you have to take it one step at a time. If the medicinal herbs can be planted successfully, the things related to the acquisition and concoction of medicinal materials on the side of the Creation Bureau will have to keep up, and when the whole line is strung together, it can be regarded as the first step to success. ”

Xiao Jiuqi and Fu Yuanling slowly discussed things, this feeling was amazing, the two of them had never discussed such a thing before, it was quite fresh and unusual.

Speaking of which, Xiao Jiuqi also moved to the map, and the two of them compared the general direction on the map.

The pen in Xiao Jiuqi's hand kept recording, and when he was dry, he realized that a long time had passed.

"It's best to ask a few experienced agricultural officials to take a look, they are very good at farming, and they are much better than us." Of course, Fu Yuanling didn't have the ability to command the court officials, but Xiao Jiuqi could.

"I'll ask tomorrow who is in charge of farming, I really don't know." Xiao Jiuqi's eyes darkened, and he didn't pay attention to this part.

Fu Yuanling nodded, she didn't know much about this part, thought for a while and said: "He Ping of Luyang Mansion has a few farmers who are very good at growing crops, if necessary, you can let them go with them." ”

Xiao Jiuqi wrote it down, turned his head and talked about the matter on Li Lu's side.

After hearing this, Fu Yuanling somehow remembered the queen mother in the palace, and the queen mother's attitude towards Concubine Li De's side was also very subtle.

Now Li Lu has repeatedly delayed the weapons ordered by Xiao Jiuqi, she thought for a while and said: "At the beginning, we were looking for General Li just because General Li had a skilled craftsman under him, but now that the smelting workshop in the western suburbs has been built and many craftsmen have been recruited, there is no need to trouble General Li in the future." ”

Xiao Jiuqi was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at his daughter-in-law, "Are you serious?" ”

Fu Yuanling bowed his head, "Of course, the troublesome things are not good again and again, General Li is afraid that he is very busy, and he has to squeeze time to do our work, and he is annoyed that it is difficult to say for the sake of the fourth brother." ”

Xiao Jiuqi sneered, "He dares!" ”

"It's not a big deal, we didn't want to spoil the good ore before, this time we fought with the northern Xinjiang, I didn't see other benefits, but the southern Xinjiang is a little afraid of the big dry, and the matter of joining forces with us to open up the mountain is going well. In this way, this ore will be discovered soon, and there is no need to hide it at this point. ”

Fu Yuanling did not suffer a loss, as the first batch of big merchants who went deep into southern Xinjiang, no matter how southern Xinjiang talked with the big cadres, the credit of the Fu family was there, even Li Lu could not erase it, and no one could take away the interests of the Fu family.

It was precisely because Fu Yuanling thought of this possibility that when selecting craftsmen, he deliberately asked people to pay attention to blacksmiths, but there were a few people with great skills who stayed in the Fu family.

Everything depends on people and does not last long.

Xiao Jiuqi didn't realize the deep meaning of Fu Yuanling's words, and agreed after listening to his daughter-in-law, "That's okay, let's get anything ourselves in the future, and the weapons of those people who followed me to Yuzhiguan should also be changed." ”

Fu Yuanling wrote it down carefully, "Is there anything else?" How did you settle the people who followed you on the expedition and didn't come back? ”

Xiao Jiuqi was silent for a while, "The imperial court has pension money, and I am poor and have no money to give them, so I will send those who can study at home to study, and if I want to practice martial arts to learn kung fu, I will go to work in Zhuangzi to eat." ”

Fu Yuanling knew that Xiao Jiuqi's Zhuangzi were all imperial villages, and the salary he got when he went there was definitely not low, so he said with a smile: "Your arrangement is very reasonable, the small one can mix the future, the old one can take care of his life, and there is also a pension silver body." ”

"Well, just do your best." Xiao Jiuqi pursed his lips.

How can there be an immortal in a war, even if he also licks blood with a knife and survives.

Fu Yuanling looked at Xiao Jiuqi and was still a little unhappy, and after a change of heart, he said with a smile: "To protect the family and defend the country, how can there be no bloodless sacrifice." It is said that merchants seek profits, you know that the caravan of the Fu family will also lose manpower every year, our merchants travel all over the country, and the caravan will sometimes encounter bandits killing and robbing goods when walking outside, which is something that no one can control. ”

Now that you've done this, you have to be prepared.

It's like being a guard to protect a caravan, and you have to be ready to throw your life away at any time.

The only thing Fu Yuanling can do is to take care of his family for these people who work hard for the Fu family, just like Xiao Jiuqi did.

Xiao Jiuqi rubbed his face and got up suddenly, "I'll go to the fourth brother." ”

Fu Yuanling's heart was stunned, and he reached out and grabbed Xiao Jiuqi's sleeve, "Fourth brother is a busy man, don't bother him if you have nothing to do, but I think the agricultural affairs we talked about before are important, you go to visit a few agricultural officials first." At least let your father see your attitude, you are serious and not perfunctory. ”

Xiao Jiuqi didn't think much about it, scratched his head, "It's okay, I'll go for a walk first, you can wait for news at home." ”

Fu Yuanling sent Xiao Jiuqi out with a smile, watched him stride away, and slowly returned to the room by himself.

Even if King Chu is good, if Concubine Li De and Li Lu are very jealous of Xiao Jiuqi and constantly divide their brotherhood, this is obviously not a good thing.

Therefore, the queen's approach is right, let Xiao Jiuqi and the King of Chu not get so close, and let Concubine Li De's brothers and sisters also have to see the current situation clearly.

Xiao Jiuqi doesn't have to be the king of Chu.

After all, in addition to the King of Chu, there are other princes in this royal family.
