Wang Jibao originally wanted to find someone to ask about farming and taxation, but at present, the method she wanted to investigate was indeed a little inappropriate. In the end, Zhu Linxi sent the scroll to find some people to go out, and according to her request, made a questionnaire, and asked people to carefully inquire and fill in carefully according to the contents of the questionnaire.

Wang Xibao and Zhu Linxi then went to see several barren mountains and wastelands under her name on the way.

Although she didn't know anything about farming, she at least knew that the soil quality was different, and the crops suitable for planting were also different. Of course, it's not that land that can't grow food can't be used. If you find the right crops, you can not only make barren mountains and wastelands productive, but also fertilize the fields. Then there is the model of some ecological parks, etc., which can not only turn wasteland into fertile land, but also make more money.

The most important thing to grow crops is sunlight and water. After a short visit, they also learned the key to finding water. Some lands and mountains are barren because there is no water source. This part of the land can't be changed even if you want to renovate it.

After Zhu Linxi learned about this, he immediately sent a letter to Zhu Yonghong, asking his father to go down to the emperor list as soon as possible to gather some people who know how to explore water sources. This move helped Wang Jibao a lot, and she didn't let her find someone to open up the wasteland.

Others, on the contrary, are so close to water sources that they become waterlogged. This Wang Jibao knows something, he can dig mud ponds, raise fish, shrimp and other aquatic products, and if he does it well, the income is also not small. Of course, this also needs to be done by those who are really experienced.

Accompanied by Zhu Linxi, Wang Jibao walked around a rough circle, and had a preliminary idea of how to transform those barren mountains and wastelands in the future. She also sent someone to pick up a few more experienced stewards of the farm in Yongdu, planning to let them help her manage the farm in the future. In addition, I also hope that they can give Wang Xu some help and support.

Wang Xu, her apprentices, and the Lu family have all successfully passed Enke's exam, and have already chosen a position that suits them.

Zhu Yonghong even set up a separate position for Wang Xu as the farmer of Zhengwupin. At the same time, he also selected two other people who were originally from farming, and asked them to serve as the deputy Si Nong of Zhengliupin, and Wang Xu managed the agricultural affairs together.

From Wang Yuxun's letter, I learned that Wang Xu is more like a person who can do great things this time. Now he often changes into cloth clothes and goes to his fields with the two deputy farmers to work with the tenants. I also followed Wang Jibao's advice, collected seeds everywhere, and selected various fields for trial planting.

In Wang Xibao's reply to Wang Xu, he asked him to carefully make a record of every trial crop, which will be very useful first-hand information in the future.

Originally, I wanted to accompany Zhu Linxi to assess the situation of officials along the way, but because they got a bombshell news, they had to rush back to Shaojing as soon as possible.

If you want to talk about this, it really has something to do with Wang Jibao.

Zheng Xiangjun, who was released back to Kangguo by her, really lived up to Wang Jibao's expectations and did a big thing that caused a sensation in Kangguo. She not only killed the two newborn children of Kang Linglong and Xia Chenyu, the eldest princess of Kangguo, but also died together with Xia Chenyu.

This made Wang Jibao sigh, the destructive power of snake spirit disease is really huge!

Although Xia Chenyu did not die later, he was hated by Kang Linglong, and then he was placed under house arrest by Kang Linglong in the princess's mansion.

And Kang Linglong is obviously following in the footsteps of Zheng Xiangjun and taking a big step towards the road of snake essence disease. not only dared to poison his own father, but also became the empress and learned from men to open a harem.

In this way, Kang Yuanzhi, the prince of Kang Guo, became the first person Kang Linglong to destroy.

After getting the news, Kang Yuanzhi left the northeast of Kangguo under the escort of the guards. Not long ago, he was proclaimed emperor in Songlin City and fought against Kang Linglong.

In this way, Kangguo was divided into two countries, the north and the south. In order to distinguish, the former Kangguo court under Kang Linglong was called Nankang, and the newly established regime of Kang Yuanzhi was called Beikang.

But obviously, everyone underestimated Kang Linglong's combat effectiveness. After she became emperor, she was quite tough, not only killed the rest of her younger brothers and sisters who did not run away, but also many opponents were wiped out by her. For a while, everyone in the Nankang court was in danger, and even if there were still some people who were still dissatisfied, they didn't dare to show it. There are some people who are close to Beikang, and those who are dissatisfied with Kang Linglong take refuge in Beikang.

I have to say that there are some smart people who are secretly running to Shaoguo with their families. This move is precisely the good effect brought by Zhu Yonghong's high-profile welcome to Wang Ziyi and Wang Yuxun outside Shaojing City. Many of these people have become the pillars of the future Shao Kingdom.

Let's go back to Kang Linglong, this woman is definitely not an ordinary person. After she ascended the throne, the first thing she did was to set up Lu Beifeng, the generalissimo of Kang Guo's soldiers and horses, as the male queen. In order to secure his position as the male queen, Lu Beifeng was leading the army north at this time, preparing to destroy Kang Yuanzhi and his party in one fell swoop.

Songlin City, Yongguo and Shaoguo are all adjacent to each other.

In order to survive and keep his regime, Kang Yuanzhi urgently sent a letter of alliance to Shaoguo and Yongguo, expressing his willingness to form an alliance.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, Yongguo, Shaoguo and Kangguo have all rebelled. Only the Dingguo family is slowly getting bigger. I'm afraid that God is helping to set the country.

Therefore, this time, Zhu Yonghong and Zhu Linxi had to deal with it carefully.

"Lin Xi, do you think the Yongguo Kingdom agrees to form an alliance with Beikang?"

After reading the latest secret letter handed to her by Zhu Linxi, Wang Jibao looked up and asked Zhu Linxi, who was also dealing with urgent matters in the carriage.

Zhu Linxi didn't raise his head, and replied without hesitation: "No." ”

Wang Jibao raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "So simply? ”

Zhu Linxi turned his head, looked at Wang Jibao and smiled: "As the saying goes, no profit is not early." Beikang has no big benefits for Yongguo, why would they form an alliance with Beikang? ”

"That's exactly what happened. However, this gives Yongguo a good opportunity to send troops to Kangguo? "In the past, when Yongguo was strong, there was no shortage of fights to destroy the idea of Kangguo.

"It's not that Emperor Yongsheng doesn't want to, but he can't." Zhu Linxi patiently told Wang Jibao his analysis, "There are only eight towns in Beikang, which is really a drop in the bucket compared with more than 20 towns in Nankang. Cooperating with Beikang is tantamount to relying on the forces of Yongguo to deal with Nankang. If the country suddenly sends troops to Yongguo, Yongguo will be a little stretched if he wants to mobilize enough troops and horses to resist Dingguo in a short period of time. And the most important point, it is obvious that Nankang was sent by Yongguo to deal with it, why do you still cooperate with Beikang and let Beikang take advantage of the ready-made? It would be better to take this opportunity to send troops directly, and it could be annexed along with Beikang. At that time, the entire Kang State will become the territory of the Shao State. Therefore, if I were Emperor Yongsheng, I would not cooperate with Beikang. ”

This is also a question that Zhu Yonghong and Zhu Linxi are considering now. It is impossible for them to cooperate with Beikang. If possible, what they have to do now is how to make that yellow bird when Beikang and Nankang are facing each other, and take this opportunity to get a piece of Kangguo's soup.

This time it is actually more powerful for Yongguo, they have many places bordering Kangguo, as long as they choose a good breakthrough, it is easy to expand their territory. It is not good for them Shaoguo, Shaoguo and Kangguo only border the part of Beikang, and it is impossible for them to get the soup on the side of Nankang.

However, it is estimated that Dingguo will definitely not let Yongguo turn over so easily and become the leading overlord of the Hongwu Continent again. They will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack Yongguo, so as to disrupt this opportunity for Yongguo to become bigger.

And Minguo, which borders Nankang, may also take advantage of the situation to get a piece of the pie, and even wants to become stronger. Otherwise, they will inevitably become the next target of the competition between Dingguo and Yongguo in the future.

In that case, the Shaoguo country in a corner of the country will be in crisis. Not to mention expanding their territory in the future, it is estimated that there will be no chance to become bigger and stronger.

If it was possible, they really didn't want the melee in the Hongwu Continent to start so soon.

Thinking of this, Zhu Linxi's brows furrowed deeply. I didn't think of a way to crack it for a while.

At this time, Kang Guo really had a problem for everyone.

Wang Jibao didn't need to ask, and knew that his father-in-law and his husband didn't want to cooperate with Beikang, and they might be thinking more about how to take this opportunity to expand their territory at this time. She vaguely felt that the melee in the Hongwu Continent was about to break out.

"If Kang Guo is facing each other in the south and north, will the entire country of the Hongwu Continent follow suit, and even Min Guo, who has not been favored before, will have to join this war in order to protect himself?" Wang Jibao asked what she was worried about.

"Yes." Zhu Linxi then said in a rather heavy tone: "If all countries join the war this time, our Shaoguo will be in danger." ”

Wang Jibao thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to find a way to prevent them from facing north and south, won't this situation be broken?" ”

Listening to Wang Jibao's words, Zhu Linxi's somewhat gloomy heart seemed to have been opened a crack, and a ray of sunshine shone in.

That's right! He and his father just thought about what they would do once Kangguo was in the north and south? But I never thought about whether I could let the north and south of Kangguo go wrong first, so as to solve this crisis.

In fact, this time the incident came too suddenly, not only did they not prepare for Shaoguo, but it is estimated that even those countries were not ready. No one wants to fight such an uncertain battle.

But as long as one country takes the lead, several other countries will not let go of this opportunity.

Then why not let Kang Guo not mess up by himself, and let Kang Guo retain a certain strength?

At least they won't be swallowed up by other countries so easily.
