305 Changes in the Northland
"I can discuss this matter with my grandfather and them," Mu Jingyi said.
"Okay", Luo Xiaoqiao nodded, she said the hidden dangers, and the rest is up to them.
Let everyone play the best role, this kind of hard work, she still tends to hide as far as she wants, and let her man worry about it.
"Are you okay today?"
Luo Xiaoqiao saw that after Mu Jingyi sent Wang Jinqiao away as quickly as possible, he sat on a chair and read a book.
"Well, there is nothing important", Mu Jingyi replied calmly, but the book that had not turned a page for half a day revealed some thoughts.
"That's... Would you like to go for a walk in a while? Qingshan Inn has planted some new flowers and plants, my sister said it is very beautiful", Luo Xiaoqiao proposed.
"Okay", Mu Jingyi just replied with a word.
"Report!" The loud voice of the guard remembered outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Mu Jingyi was a little unhappy, these people simply didn't have the eyesight, so they picked his free time to come over.
The guard was a newcomer, and Mu Jingyi's condensed gaze made him a little apprehensive, as if he finally understood in hindsight, why didn't he appear when he didn't show up.
He stepped forward with a hard head: "Lord Wang, An Huailiang of Runan Dao asks to see you." ”
"An Huailiang?" Mu Jingyi snorted coldly, interesting, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore, so I came to him as a backer, right?
"You go quickly, I'll go for a walk by myself, just to see grandpa and them, and I won't be back for lunch"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Jingyi's face darkened, and the guard consciously shrank into the corner to minimize his sense of existence.
"The wild vegetables over there are good, I'll come back in the evening and make something to eat for you", Luo Xiaoqiao glanced at him with a smile.
The guard felt that the temperature in the room had finally warmed up a little at this time, and he looked at the legendary Princess Jing with admiration.
If the rumors are true, as long as the princess is here, the prince is still not so terrible.
However, looking at this trend, will the prince be sluggish in the future?
The guard flinched, not daring to think further.
…
"Shisu, let's go too."
Walking on the streets of Xingcheng again, listening to the sound of hawkers shouting and buying, and watching the crowds coming and going, it is indeed very different from the beginning.
"Princess, this is a big change", Shisu also sighed a little.
"It's quite big", Luo Xiaoqiao raised his eyes and looked around.
Wan Juheng is still the same Wan Juheng, but Dafengfang is no longer that Dafengfang! The face of the shopkeeper Hu looked particularly red in the sun.
I still remember that when she first set foot on this land, there was a serious polarization on the street, with Zhumen smelling of wine and meat, and frozen bones on the road.
At that time, the only people who set up stalls were those selling food and clothing, and all of them were in rags.
Now, although the clothes are still not so good, they can be regarded as colored, and they are no longer people wearing gray flutters and patches.
There are also a few civilians who have a little spare money to buy hairpins, and even some people have the confidence to go to the roadside shops to have a look.
Luo Xiaoqiao is still very satisfied with the current situation, but she feels that it is not enough.
After marrying into the Jingwang Mansion, she had seen the detailed maps of the Northland.
It is known that the area of this land is about 150,000 square meters in modern times, about the size of a province, there are about 59 large and small cities, plus the land and the original land, the cultivable area is about 50 million mu.
However, in ancient times, the living environment was harsh, so the population has always been small.
There are about 80 million people in the whole of Dachu, and they were in the north, and at the beginning, there were less than 2 million, and even if they attracted people from the interior after more than a year, the population only increased to 3 million.
Assuming that each person farms five acres, if before, each mu of wheat was harvested into two stones, a person would grow 1,000 catties of grain a year, more than half of which would have to be handed over to the landlord, and he would have less than 500 catties left.
As the saying goes, it's enough, six hundred and six. In other words, a person has to eat almost 660 catties of wheat in a year, so before they hybridize wheat, it is difficult for them to even feed themselves.
Now, according to the gross estimate of the yield of five stones of wheat in fertile land, each person can grow 2,500 catties of grain every year, which is already a surplus, so many people no longer have that bitter expression on their faces.
Even the Tartars began to honestly exchange cattle, mutton, wool and other things for food.
Affluence is far from reaching, but food and clothing have been barely solved.
"Girl, look, isn't that Aunt Orchid? She came out to sell hairpins. ”
"Xiao Qiao, it's you, come and see, let's do it ourselves", Aunt Orchid saw her from afar, and began to greet her, but she was not frightened by Luo Xiaoqiao's identity change at all.
In their hearts, this is their own family who takes them to live a good life, and they are the village head!
"Okay, pick a few and open a show for your aunt", Luo Xiaoqiao also said with a smile.
"Xiao Qiao, I can tell you, Cui Da of our village is back."
"Who is Cui Da?" Shiso asked for her.
"Cui Da, speaking of which, there is still a bit of kinship with your family", Aunt Orchid said while picking them up.
"He was born with a disability in his left leg, and he was still a stammer, but he was diligent, and in the early years, he didn't know where the big family was taking a fancy to, so he went out to learn the craft, and now he is back, and I heard that he is still alone," said Aunt Orchid.
"Your grandfather has all been to see them, go back and see."
"Okay, Aunt Orchid, that's all, how much do you calculate."
"Whatever money you want, you can bring it", Aunt Orchid hurriedly excused herself.
"That's not possible, my brother still settles the account, I see that you were two pennies a penny before, I'll put it here for you, I'll go first."
"Hey, you girl, you ...... Just go......"
Aunt Orchid looked at her back, shouted loudly, and only withdrew her gaze after half a sound, and smiled alone.
……
"You're new here, aren't you? Where's the man? Luo Xiaoqiao and Zi Su were on the corner of the street when they heard a rough male voice.
The old man with Nuo Nuo replied in a courteous voice: "Master Zhang, we just came from Cangxian and want to find a job." ”
"Do you know where we are?" The man asked.
"I know, I know, it's Princess Jing's family," the old man said with a shy face.
"Bring it......" the man held out his hand.
"Give...... Master Zhang, let's ...... We didn't have long to come, and that's all we have, and in the future, if we make money, I'll make it up to you. ”
"Phew! These copper plates! Send it to call Hanako", the man's big fan-like hand slapped the old man's face, and immediately knocked him down.
Luo Xiaoqiao frowned and glanced at Zisu.
"Who? How to hit someone?! Shisu walked straight over and helped the old man up.
"Phew! Where did the wild girl come from! Mind Lao Tzu's business! The man was a little flinching when he saw the good expectations of Shiso.
"Why are you beating people?!" Shiso asked reluctantly.
"Girl, go quickly, this is the princess's family, I rented this land to him, I have to pay the floor fee, don't worry about it!" The old man was afraid that Shisu would suffer a loss, so he said kindly.
"Huh...... This Xingcheng land boundary, the price is clearly marked, why have I never heard of it, and I have to pay extra for the ground shop? Shisu frowned and looked at the man.
"You said you belong to the princess's family, do you have a certificate?"
