Chapter 270: Arriving at the South China Sea Country
Xiao Wenzhuo was taken aback when he heard this question, and looked at Lin Xiaozhu in surprise. Does Yuan Tianye know how big this question is? Even those capable officials can't say much. Changing the economic situation of the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty and improving the living conditions of the common people has always been what the emperors of all dynasties have been trying to do, but until now, the four countries are still in this situation, does Lin Xiaozhu still have any insight? Aren't women ignorant of politics and economy?
Along the way, Lin Xiaozhu and Yuan Tianye talked about this kind of topic the most. Yuan Tianye has the absolute right to speak in the governance of the country, and she hopes that she can use some modern economic theories to inspire Yuan Tianye, so as to indirectly benefit the people, so she will say what she thinks in her heart, and she does not hide it at all, which makes Yuan Tianye very surprised by her opinion. At this time, seeing Yuan Tianye raising such a question in front of Xiao Wenzhuo, she knew his intentions, smiled, and said: "In front of the three princes, I am a little woman, but I have only walked half of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and I don't have a wide range of knowledge, where do I dare to get an axe and talk about state affairs?" Young Master Yang, why do you ask me this? ”
In front of the Xiao family's brothers and sisters, she couldn't directly call Yuan Tianye's name, and calling him Prince Yi was too foreign, and it was not equal to Shen Ziyi's title. Because they were all one of the four sons of Xuanyuan, Lin Xiaozhu simply called him Yang Gongzi in front of people. This is also what people in the South China Sea call Yuan Tianye.
Although Shen Ziyi was not interested in national affairs, he had heard Lin Xiaozhu and Yuan Tianye's high-minded discussions all the way, and he knew that Lin Xiaozhu's views were extraordinary. At this time, seeing her say such things in front of Xiao Wenzhuo, she was immediately unhappy, and said, "Xiaozhu, don't hide it." You have always seen extraordinary, and Brother Wen Zhuo is not an outsider, so you can say whatever you have. ”
Lin Xiaozhu still shook his head: "I have shallow knowledge, and you and Yang Gongzi are very tolerant of me." Naturally, they won't laugh at me. Now in front of Brother Xiao, how dare I talk nonsense? Forget it. ”
If Yuan Tianye's question came out, Lin Xiaozhu would immediately say a bunch of big truths. Xiao Wenzhuo definitely thought that Yuan Tianye taught Lin Xiaozhu, the purpose was to make her say it, so that he could be impressed by her. But now Lin Xiaozhu keeps shirking. And Shen Ziyi admired Lin Xiaozhu very much in his words, and he began to have some thoughts in his heart that Lin Xiaozhu might have something unusual. The curiosity about Lin Xiaozhu in his heart was even stronger, and he looked at her and said, "Yi Gongzi said the same, Miss Lin has extraordinary opinions. If you can say it in front of them, what can't you say in front of me? Isn't it that Miss Lin still treats my brother and sister as outsiders? ”
Lin Xiaozhu heard what he said, so he said very reluctantly: "Brother Xiao has said this, if I don't offer a few more ugly words, won't I be blamed by Brother Xiao?" So. I'll just talk about it. ”
She raised her head, glanced at everyone, and said, "I feel that the current four countries all have a problem. It's sticking to the old ways and being lifeless. There are many hills in the Northern Yan Kingdom, many Gobi deserts and deserts in the Xiling Kingdom, and many seas in the South China Sea, and there is not much land, but everyone is willing to guard their own land and live a life of watching the sky and eating...... "She said what she said to Yuan Tianye on the road, and said it in detail, and proposed, "Adapt measures to local conditions." Xiao Wenzhuo was extremely shocked to hear such views as "taking the road of development of agriculture with special characteristics" and "vigorously developing commerce and strengthening trade between countries."
Shocked. It's contemplation. After thinking about what Lin Xiaozhu said, he slapped the table vigorously and shouted: "Okay! Looking at Lin Xiaozhu, his eyes lit up.
After thinking about it, he said: "According to what you just said, we are the most suitable place to grow melons and fruits, and after planting, we can sell melons and fruits by vigorously developing commerce, and we have also thought about this problem." But there is one most important problem, that is, melons and fruits are not easy to keep, the road is long, the road is not smooth, and before we can transport it to other countries, it will rot. How can this be solved? ”
"The first is to carry out deep processing and make melons and fruits into dried fruits, so that they are easy to transport."
Xiao Wenzhuo nodded and said, "Our country's businessmen have always done this. ”
Lin Xiaozhu asked rhetorically: "Then may I ask, are you doing a good job in this regard?" Has the state paid attention to it? Have you summoned smart people in the country to help find a way to solve the problem? ”
Xiao Wenzhuo was dumbfounded.
Lin Xiaozhu continued: "This is exactly a big question I want to talk about. Many major inventions have brought many conveniences to our lives. For example, this carriage, with a chariot, we can travel conveniently and quickly, and on the battlefield, we can also use chariots to combine cavalry and infantry, and we can arrange formations on the chariot, and the tactics are flexible and diverse......"
"Wait." As soon as he heard this, Yuan Tianye's eyes lit up, "What's going on with this chariot, you can talk about it." ”
"Yes, yes, how to be flexible and diverse?" Xiao Wenzhuo was also so excited that he changed his usual steady image and shouted like a child.
Lin Xiaozhu looked at the two of them speechlessly. Is she talking about the economy now? Why is it involved in the military again? Isn't that just an example? It seems that this Xuanyuan country has been peaceful for a long time, and even the military level has degraded, and these two people, who are obviously extremely interested in military affairs, don't even know about chariots.
She had no choice but to tell the two in detail the little military knowledge she had learned from Qin Shi Huang's soldiers and horses. Then seeing that these two people were obviously addicted to military affairs, they had to remind: "Just now I gave an example to show that these major inventions are of great significance to mankind, and we should all vigorously advocate them, give more awards, and even promote and reuse them and award them to official positions." For example, how to make those melons and fruits last longer, taste better, and the wisdom of the people is endless, as long as you encourage it, there will be unexpected harvests. ”
Seeing that Xiao Wenzhuo and Yuan Tianye had withdrawn their thoughts, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "The second problem to transport those melons and fruits out is transportation." If you want to get rich, build roads first. And road construction is not just about the state taking money, it can be carried out in various forms. For example, if a wealthy merchant pays to build a road or a bridge, he will be rewarded; Or he paid for it, and he could throw a road card in that place for a fee within a few years. Just like the big river when we came, we could find a way to build a bridge, and with the encouragement of the invention I mentioned earlier, there will naturally be skilled craftsmen to solve technical problems, and then there will be businessmen who will invest money to repair the bridge so that he can charge the people who cross the bridge within ten years, and I don't think that the problem can be solved by spending a penny of the state. The circulation of products in the Northern Yan Kingdom and the South China Sea Kingdom is much more convenient. ”
"Okay, great idea." Xiao Wenzhuo was amazed, and his eyes looking at Lin Xiaozhu were full of appreciation. Then his eyes turned to Yuan Tianye, and he sighed in his heart: No wonder Yuan Tianye didn't marry Lin Xiaozhu. Such an insightful strange woman, even if he meets it first, he will not give up.
Hearing Xiao Wenzhuo's praise, Yuan Tianye was obviously very proud in his eyes, and secretly reached out under the table to hold Lin Xiaozhu's hand, and never let go.
After passing through the great mountain range, we reached the territory of the South China Sea. The further south you go, the warmer it gets. And from the horse-drawn carriage, the scenery is becoming more and more seaside-like. And because of the change in Xiao Wenzhuo's attitude, the relationship between Lin Xiaozhu and Xiao Xiao has also improved. Xiao Xiao is an innocent girl with no scheming, and getting along with her makes Lin Xiaozhu feel very relaxed.
After walking like this for seven days, the carriage finally stopped in front of the gate of the capital city of Nanhai Kingdom. Shen Ziyi has been away from home for half a year, and he is particularly excited when he looks at the familiar Haijing City.
"We won't go into the palace with you, find an inn to live in outside, and Ming'er will go to see a house again, so that it will be easier to enter and exit." Yuan Tianye said. Although the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Xiling Kingdom also had post houses in Haijing, neither he nor Xiao Wenzhuo were willing to live there.
"How's that going to work? It's not safe to stay in a mixed inn. I also have a mansion outside the palace, so just live there with me. Shen Ziyi naturally didn't have a reason to let his friend stay in the inn.
Before Yuan Tianye could speak, Xiao Wenzhuo said, "Okay, let's live in your house." ”
Lin Xiaozhu listened to Xiao Wenzhuo's words, pursed his lips and smiled secretly. That night, Xiao Wenzhuo persuaded Yuan Tianye to marry Xiao Xiao, and she happened to hear it, so she naturally knew that Xiao Wenzhuo was very worried about her sister. Now, Xiao Wenzhuo won't hit Shen Ziyi with his idea, right?
Now that Xiao Wenzhuo had spoken, Yuan Tianye naturally no longer objected, and several carriages drove towards Shen Ziyi's mansion in the city.
The princes of the South China Sea Kingdom must be married to be crowned kings and open another mansion to live, otherwise they still live in the palace. This mansion is just another house that Shen Ziyi bought, and he occasionally goes to live in it, but it is just a courtyard with two or thirty houses, and more than a dozen people.
When they arrived at Fudi, someone went in to report, and after a while, a woman led some people to greet him.
"This is my concubine Fuqin, and she is taking care of this house." Shen Ziyi turned his head to introduce to everyone.
Xiao Wenzhuo's face suddenly darkened.
Lin Xiaozhu was secretly glad that he did not lean his feelings towards Shen Ziyi at the beginning. A prince and grandson like this, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, someone enlightened him and taught him humanity, and Shen Ziyi was naturally no exception. A son like Yuan Tianye, who is living outside, wasn't he almost ruined by Yuan Chengjiao?
Shen Ziyi naturally didn't pay attention to Xiao Wenzhuo's face, and when Fuqin greeted everyone, he ordered: "Hurry up and clean the room and arrange for everyone to stay; Then go to the drunken fairy building to ask for a table of high-quality seafood seats. ”
"Yes." Fuqin raised her eyes and glanced at everyone, and said, "Miss Lin and Miss Xiao live in Yanju and Shenyuju; Yang Gongzi and Zhuo Gongzi lived in Linfeng Pavilion and Tingtao Xuan. Childe thinks this arrangement is appropriate? ”
Shen Ziyi nodded with satisfaction: "That's it." (To be continued)
