Xu Jiao was sitting leisurely in the carriage, surrounded by her guards.

This feeling, the robbers don't dare to come near them.

When they entered Yuehua Country, so many people also alarmed the patrol team on the border, but fortunately, they came back smoothly.

When the carriage approached Zhong Xiangcheng, the road suddenly became much easier.

Xu Jiao heard the exclamations of the guards outside, she lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the muddy road had disappeared and was replaced by a flat and spacious cement asphalt road.

The road was so well repaired that she could visually pass at least four wagons side by side, and the road was completely free of potholes.

It seems that Zhong Xiangcheng's people are quite fast, and the road has been repaired so quickly.

She still doesn't quite understand Zhong Xiang Taishou's mood, he is a good official who is dedicated to the people, but maybe because of ability or luck, things have never improved over the years.

Every time he is resigned, he is the bottom group of officials, but fortunately, although he is mediocre, he has never done the business of preying on the people, and he has been sitting in this position for so many years.

In the final analysis, it is because no one wants to grab his position.

This time the princess gave him so many things and a lot of money, if he still can't do a good job, then he really has a problem.

Xu Jiao's speed on this road was obviously much faster, because of the road problem, her speed was at least twice as fast as before.

This is probably also the principle that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, if the roads are not good, you can't even do basic commodity transportation, how can you get rich?

Xu Jiao didn't say hello in advance when she came back this time, but her group was very loud, and Zhong Xiang heard the news before they arrived.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are finally back, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it in a few days."

The most commendable point of Zhong Xiang Taishou is that he recognizes Xu Jiao or not, after all, Zhong Xiang is already the princess's fief, and he thinks that he is the princess's retainer, so he dares to hide such a big thing.

If he sues, then not only will the princess not tolerate him, but it is estimated that even His Majesty will not tolerate a courtier who will betray his daughter.

So I have to say that his choice is very right, but he is right, and he is afraid that His Majesty will find out every day.

"Alright, alright." Xu Jiao hurriedly stopped Zhong Xiang Taishou, who was about to cry bitterly, she couldn't stand such a picture the most, hypocritical, didn't she even cry when she was broken up.

No, no, no, I can't think about it, it's still a little uncomfortable to think about.

When Wu Hai was on the road, he learned about the marriage date set by Wu Zhan and Princess Wei, and he scolded again and again, scolding Wu Zhan for being a villain who forgets his righteousness, and in order to marry the princess, he easily said that he would disperse.

Wu Hai asked Xu Jiao, why didn't she tell Wu Zhan her true identity, if it was about her noble status, she was still the heir of Yuehua Kingdom, not a hundred times more noble than her unfavored princess of Wei Kingdom?

Xu Jiao didn't tell him the answer.

That day in the prison, she firmly believed that Wu Zhan had a hard time.

His face was very tired, and there were very complicated emotions in his eyes when he looked at her, both reluctant and firm.

A person like him would never give up on her because of utilitarianism and because of what the outside world said.

He had a hard time, she asked.

But since he chose to hide it, Xu Jiao would not continue to entangle, no matter what the hardship was, there was no need for it.

What she needs is love at first sight, uniqueness, something that the whole world can give up, the only thing that can't do without her preference, a blatant preference.

If you give up on her for the sake of hardship, you will give up on her a second time in the future because of the same hardship.

So it's not that he's bad, it's that he has no fate.

Xu Jiao retracted her chaotic thoughts and held back the emotions that couldn't help but come up.

"How did you complete the tasks I assigned you? Get in the carriage and report back to me. Xu Jiao pointed at Zhong Xiang Taishou and said, this is the gate of the city, and it is too eye-catching to park in this place, so she doesn't want so many people to notice her.

Zhong Xiang Taishou moved a small bench and climbed up by herself, Xu Jiao did not follow any servants by her side, she usually got on and off the carriage by herself, and those guards didn't know how to serve people.

"That's right, this year's Zhongxiangcheng has a bumper harvest, sweet potatoes and rice have been harvested a lot, and the specific yields have been recorded on this fold one by one." Zhong Xiang Taishou handed over the small fold he had brought with him before he came.

Xu Jiao opened it and saw that the yield of sweet potatoes and rice was so large that she couldn't believe it.

"Where's the chili?"

Xu Jiao read the excerpt, which only wrote the harvest of sweet potatoes and rice, and there were no chili peppers.

"Oh, the yield of chili peppers is relatively small, I have people make chili powder and chili oil according to the method you said before, but I don't know how to use it yet."

"How much is the production?" Xu Jiao asked, this is about her future life, the yield of chili peppers will not be so low that even she can't eat it alone.

Zhong Xiang Taishou thought for a while: "Two hundred catties of chili oil are made, one hundred catties of chili powder are made, and five hundred catties of dried chili peppers." In addition, there are now 10 acres of land dedicated to growing chili peppers. ”

That's fine, what she cares about most is whether she can eat chili peppers in the future, which is enough for her to eat for a while.

Xu Jiao spent ten task points and exchanged several recipes that needed chili peppers, and she planned to let the cooks in the house learn to cook them for her immediately when she went back.

"Oh yes." Zhong Xiang Taishou became excited, obviously there was more important and powerful news to say.

"The princess brought me the breeding manual last time, and the pigs raised are really more than twice as fat as before, and they taste better than before."

Of course, the manual produced by the system not only standardizes the breeding techniques, the timing and quantification of feeding, but also castration.

The pigs here are not castrated, so thinking about that little thing all day long, naturally they will not get fat, and the pigs after castration only know that they have eaten, slept and eaten all day long, and they can naturally gain weight easily.

She didn't know what the principle was, but the castrated pork was delicious and delicious.

"So now the price of meat in the city has dropped a lot, plus during this period of time, we have hired people to build roads, every family has to send people, and we pay wages, so basically families with labor can afford to buy meat."

No wonder the road was repaired so quickly, it turned out that so many people were mobilized to build the road together, but now the people are often forcibly conscripted for government projects, and they are not paid at all, which is called "forced labor".

"Well done, is there anything else?" Xu Jiao also asked casually, after all, she still knows Zhong Xiang's ability to defend Taishou, and it is already very good to be at this point.

"And." Taishou was a little embarrassed, because when he said this, the princess cast him an incredible look.
