Chapter 266: Ambition
"Master? What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you so weird, what's wrong? Hongrui looked at Ji Yingxin and said worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm just, alas, you don't have to ask so much, just tell me, is there any?" Ji Yingxin said with an anxious face.
Seeing this, Hong Rui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You really have to ask the slave maid, the slave maid's biggest wish now is to be able to follow the master forever and serve the master well for a lifetime, but since this is not what the master you want to hear, then the slave and maid will change to a slave when she was a child." “
"When the slave was a child, the family was poor, although the masters were sympathetic to the slaves and maids, but many things, still can't be imagined, take sugar as an example, the master has not liked to eat sugar since he was a child, but the slave and the maid are different, not to mention the time of the New Year's holiday, to have a handful of candy to eat, the slave and the maid's heart is not to mention how happy."
"Later, the slave maid followed the master, this life is better than the average lady, sugar, this kind of thing, but no longer greedy, but when I was a child, the slave maid thought more than once, if one day, I can eat candy if I want."
Saying that, Hong Yuan's face was a little embarrassed, glanced at Ji Yingxin, and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, the slave still feels panicked?" ”
"Do you eat sugar?" Hearing this, Ji Yingxin was stunned, and did not laugh at her as Hong Yuan imagined, in fact, because of these words, Ji Yingxin really thought of something.
This era is not the era where Ji Yingxin is, although sugar, although in that era, it is just a material that can be seen everywhere, but in this era, it is not sugar that everyone can afford.
Ordinary people, only during the New Year's holidays, do they have a little chance to eat a little sugar, and in normal times, they are reluctant to buy a piece to eat.
This point also reminded Ji Yingxin of one thing, a big reason why this era is so unbearable is that this era is too poor, and the lack of materials makes many things that will only appear in the future impossible to achieve in this era.
Guan Ziyun, Cang Liao actually knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, material determines consciousness, only when the material is sufficient, people have the ability, only have the energy to pursue spiritual things, such as freedom, personality, etc., when you can't even eat, talking about other things is just delusion.
Thinking of this, Ji Ying's heart couldn't help but light up, knowing what he should do, he should find a way to make Daqing rich.
When it comes to wealth, most of the first things that come to mind for many people are gold, silver and jewelry, but only a few people know that the real wealth should be food.
In modern society, because of the cheapness of food and the continuous decline of Engel's coefficient, food is not a cherished thing in the eyes of many people.
However, it is this kind of ubiquitous and can be found anywhere in modern society that is the cornerstone of the entire society.
Only when there is enough food will other side jobs be developed and more wealth will be generated, which is why the lower the Engel coefficient, the more wealth a person has.
The Qing Dynasty is a traditional agrarian country, and the output of grain plays a vital role in this country, this dynasty, and only the increase in grain can promote the development of all things that Ji Ying's heart wants.
Promoting food production can be said to be an extremely difficult thing for people in this era, but it is not a difficult thing for Ji Yingxin, and there are many aspects to consider to increase grain production, among them, fertilizers and seeds can be said to be the top priority.
As a researcher of the Academy of Sciences who has research in chemistry and biology, making basic fertilizers and finding high-yield crop seeds is not a very difficult thing for Ji Yingxin, especially as the prince Fujin, the power she has is not comparable to ordinary people, as long as she is willing to invest, it is not very difficult to make these things.
However, there is also a concern that doing such a thing is not simply to do it, yes, increasing grain production, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but everything in the world is relative, in the era when the people take food as the sky, as long as it increases the output of food, it is enough to shake the whole country.
Once Ji Yingxin really finds a way to increase grain production, it will bring her huge benefits, but also great dangers.
Especially in this era, Ji Yingxin and Yinzhen are tied together, once she really makes achievements, Yinzhen will definitely become famous, and surpassing the prince is only an instant, in this way, Yinzhen and Ji Yingxin will definitely become a thorn in the prince's side, and even Kangxi will not sit idly by.
At that time, I am afraid that what I am waiting for is not social development, but the death of Ji Yingxin and Yinzhen.
Thinking of this, Ji Yingxin couldn't help but have a headache again, once again felt the oppression from the times, and wanted to change this era more and more.
"Master, Brother Honghui has come to greet you." Just when Ji Yingxin was thinking about what to do with a sad face, suddenly, the voice of Honghui woke Ji Yingxin up, and she saw Cui Xiao walking in from outside the door with the three-headed Honghui.
Looking at Honghui's small body, Ji Yingxin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, there are some things that he may not be able to do, but others are different.
Ji Yingxin is not stupid, although he is not too sensitive to politics, but he is the one who stands at the top of the whole country, so Ji Yingxin knows very well that the status of the prince is not unbreakable, otherwise, a group of princes and elder brothers will not jump up and down and keep making trouble.
Yinzhen said that it was a princeling, but Ji Yingxin knew very well that Yinzhen might not really be willing to submit to the prince, otherwise, if Yinzhen really fully supported the prince, the prince's current situation would definitely be much better, which shows that Yinzhen is either watching or has other ideas.
No matter which one it is, at least, Yinzhen has his own careful thoughts, if, if Yinzhen really succeeds, then, the biggest condition for limiting himself will disappear, or even further, if Yinzhen succeeds, as the eldest son of Honghui, there is also a great possibility, ascending to that position, as long as Honghui is imperceptibly educated, waiting for him to take the position, what do you want to do, isn't it easy?
