"Don't worry." Hearing that Du Jinning was bent on agricultural development, Zhao Yu looked at her more and more kindly, "You mentioned it to me before, and said that this is of great benefit to the agriculture of the Great Song Dynasty, but I don't dare to forget that before Pan Hongsheng went to sea, I specially told him." Pan Hongsheng said in the recital that he found some seeds and brought them back. ”

Du Jinning was overjoyed: "That's good, that's good." Then he asked, "When will he arrive in Beijing?" ”

"Many people are sick and they have to rest for a few days in Guangzhou. These gifts have been on the road for half a month, and now they are estimated to have set off. At most, you can get to the capital in a month. ”

Du Jinning sighed at the current traffic situation.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion. If it can be done, the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to reach a new level. She arched her hand.

She was wearing women's clothes today, but her demeanor was free and confident, and there was no sense of disobedience in this kind of masculine etiquette.

As soon as he heard Du Jinning's suggestion, Zhao Yu was in good spirits.

Du Jinning's suggestion is like a guiding light, which can always dispel his confusion about the road ahead and point him out. Facts have proved one case after another that Du Jinning's suggestions are far-sighted and very correct.

Several old ministers are Zhao Yu's henchmen, and they have heard Zhao Yu praise Du Jinning more than once. They also know that whether it is to prosper business or sail to sea, it is Du Jinning's proposal. At this time, listening to her speak in such a solemn tone, everyone pretended to appreciate the glassware and stopped, walked over one by one, and listened carefully to Du Jinning's words.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first." Du Jinning said, "Now that the road is open and the economy is prosperous, the biggest shackle is transportation." The road is not easy to walk, and no matter how abundant the products are, they cannot be transported. For example, if there is an iron ore in a certain place, it cannot be mined if the transportation is inconvenient, and even if it is mined, it cannot be transported; The fruits that the farmers in the south have worked so hard to grow cannot be transported to the north due to inconvenient transportation, and they rot directly in the local area, but there is no fruit to eat in the north. And so on and so forth. ”

All the old ministers nodded.

They all have local political experience, and they are very touched by the situation that Du Jinning said.

Qi Bokun glanced at Zhao Yu and said the difficulties on his behalf: "Building a road is easy to say, but it requires manpower, material and financial resources, even if only one road is built from south to north, it will cost the people and money." ”

Du Jinning was not in a hurry: "That's why I'm just saying this now." Now the economy is prosperous, the trade of goods is frequent, the high-yield rice is promoted again, the yield per mu is up, the tax revenue is several times that of previous years, and a certain amount can be taken for road construction; In addition, now that there is a new route, a trip to the sea, a lot of income, this income, can also be used to repair roads. ”

"Third, you can use the form of fundraising to recruit wealthy local gentry and let them voluntarily contribute some money. When the road is repaired, a monument can be erected on the side and the name of the sponsor can be engraved on the monument. The rich squires are happy to pay this part of the money. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

If the local area wants to build bridges and roads, or in the event of a famine, rich people will be called on to raise donations. There are too many times to come and go, and the rich are not very reluctant. But if the donor's surname is engraved on the tablet and his name is passed down through the ages, everyone will be happy to pay for it.

"It's a good idea." Hong Huazhong said.

Everyone nodded.

"Fourth ......" Du Jinning hasn't finished yet.

And the fourth? What the hell is this kid's brain? Building roads is such a big thing, and others are worried. When it comes to Du Jinning, one, two, three, four, there seem to be too many methods to be exhausted.

Du Jin didn't know what these people thought, she continued: "If there is a famine in a certain place, the court can organize the disaster victims to go to build roads, so that they can have food, and then pay wages to support the elderly and children, and work for relief, which is much better than simply allocating food for disaster relief." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up again.

The territory of the Great Song Dynasty is very large, and every year there are always some places that are either flooded or drought, and the court's disaster relief grain and silver are allocated a lot, and this part of the grain and silver is consumed, except for the disaster relief people, there is no achievement.

But if work is used for relief, the grain and silver are consumed, but the roads are built; Not only roads can be built, but also farmland and water conservancy can be repaired. Not only saved the lives of the victims, but it was also equivalent to using the part of the grain and silver to hire people to build roads and water conservancy, killing two birds with one stone.

"Eldest princess, how the hell do you have such a brain. Oops, that's so smart. An old minister couldn't help but praise Du Jinning.

"yes, yes, it's great that the princess has come up with this." Others chimed in.

Rao is Du Jinning is thick-skinned, and he is also praised and blushed. These are the methods of later generations, and she is just copying them.

Zhao Yu waved his hand, signaling them to be calm, while he himself stared at Du Jinning and asked, "What else?" ”

"Ugh." Du Jinning was speechless, "That's probably all I thought." Jin Ning's little cleverness is completely not enough in front of the emperor and adults. The emperor and the adults must have more and better methods, and it is not difficult for everyone to brainstorm and build the road. In addition, road construction does not need to be rolled out at the same time in the country, and a part of it can be repaired every year, some first, some later, large or small, depending on the income. In this way, it will not cause trouble to Lord Chen. ”

Lord Chen stood beside Qi Bokun. He is the head of the household department, and he is in charge of the money bag. Therefore, Du Jinning has this statement.

Everyone laughed.

Lord Chen also arched his hand playfully: "Thank you for the sympathy, Chen is grateful." ”

Zhao Yu looked at Du Jinning's eyes full of appreciation, and once again thanked God for sending him a Du Jinning.

He asked, "How many days will the rice harvest be?" When will I know how much will be produced? ”

"Today, at the last point of harvesting, the yield of 500 mu will be known tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhao Yu made another mistake when he was excited, he walked back and forth twice, and stood in front of Du Jinning, "You have been busy harvesting rice since you took office, and you have not been to the court." Tonight, you should write down the fold, the yield of rice and the method of building roads and cashing in for work that you are talking about today, and start playing it tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the old minister.

Several old men suddenly understood what Zhao Yu meant.

Chen Dadao: "The princess sympathizes with Chen, and Chen will support the princess." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers know what to do." Hong Huazhong also said. He has long since abandoned the little prejudice against Du Jinning, and at this time he only has reverence for Du Jinning in his heart.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, thank you, all the adults." Du Jinning saluted everyone and was very grateful.

As the only woman to go to court, how she behaved when she first went to court and whether she had the manpower to stand up for her were crucial. Zhao Yu asked her to take the suggestion to the court tomorrow morning, and asked several ministers to support her, this strong support from the emperor, it is estimated that no one has enjoyed it. This shows that Zhao Yu attaches great importance to her.
