Chapter 8 Clearing the Wasteland!
"How?"
"Open up wasteland, grow food, fundamentally, solve this problem, less than half a year, can solve the food worries, within a year, Qiongzhou will be fertile land all over the land, food and clothing do not worry!"
"Of course, you may not believe it, since I said so, naturally I have my reason, you follow me, you will know how."
Zhu Zi's face was unprecedentedly serious, he knew that this was his duty, as the duty of King Qiong, he couldn't watch the people in dire straits.
There is a farming system, and it is easy to solve the food crisis, but of course, the premise is that it takes a lot of time to be able to do it.
In Qiongzhou, deviating from the imperial capital, the most important thing he lacks is time, and it won't be long before this problem can be completely solved.
"Growing food?"
"Good! Since His Royal Highness King Joan is sure, then we will listen to you. ”
Wang Zhileng for a moment, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say it, nodded and agreed.
Growing food, they have planted it before, but it is difficult to grow it, even if it can be grown, the yield is very low, it cannot meet the demand at all, there are still few seeds, and the seeds transported from other places are either moldy or rotten, and the few seeds that survive are difficult to stock, otherwise they will not fall into this miserable situation.
Now there is no other way, but to choose to believe in King Qiong, at least in this short contact, he can see that the King Qiong in front of him is sincere, thinking about them, and there is no such frame as the prince, giving people a very friendly feeling, he is trustworthy, and he is the only person they can trust.
If King Qiong can't help Qiongzhou, then who else can they count on.
Soon, the food came up, the heat wafted out, it didn't look too rich, a very casual table, there were no particularly good dishes, compared to what was eaten in the imperial capital, it could be said that it was a world of difference, but Zhu Zi knew that these might be the best meals in Qiongzhou, how many people wanted to eat, they couldn't eat it, but today they took it out to entertain him.
"His Royal Highness King Qiong, the preparations are a bit hasty, please forgive me."
Wang Zhi hurriedly said respectfully.
It's really a bit of a hurry to prepare, and it's too late to prepare, so you can only take out the existing inventory, and use it all, just this table, on weekdays, unless it's a special day, you can't eat such a good meal at all.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhu Zi waved his hand, he knew very well how difficult the meal in front of him was in Qiongzhou, it was good to be able to eat it, and he was picky.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"It's all moving."
After eating a few bites, Zhu Zi raised his head and found that no one was moving, only he was eating alone, which was a little unnatural.
Everyone watched him eat, and whoever he changed would be a little unnatural.
"No, Your Highness, you eat first, let's just watch."
"We are not worthy of a table with His Highness, His Highness can use it slowly."
Wang Zhi shook his head and took a step back respectfully.
They can still recognize their identities, and if they are self-aware, how can they dare to share a table with the prince, they don't have the courage.
The difference between the identity of the royal family and their officials is very large, under normal circumstances, officials are not qualified to go to the table with the prince, if they go without permission, it is a big crime.
Zhu Zi glanced at the people around him, nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to bury his head in cooking.
........
Following.
In the early morning, the white belly of the fish appears in the sky, the first day slowly rises, and the morning light shines on the ground.
Zhu Zi woke up from his sleep and walked out of the room.
"Wechen has seen His Highness."
"Did Your Highness sleep well last night?"
Wang Zhi saw Zhu Zi walk out and hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"No courtesy, I slept okay yesterday, but there were a lot of mosquitoes, it was too hot."
"Go and call someone, they all waited there yesterday, I'll go later."
Zhu Zi nodded slightly, and after giving a command, he walked outside.
There's still a lot to do today, without further ado.
After a brief wash, I came to the living room of yesterday.
When they came here, there were already many people waiting here, all very curious and nervous, what did King Qiong ask them to do so early.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Joan."
Wang Zhi and the others saw Zhu Zi coming, and hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Take it easy, I called you over today, there is only one thing, open up the wasteland!"
"I don't care what method you use, today in a day's time, at least dozens of acres of wasteland will be opened, as for how to do it, it depends on you."
"Don't worry, I'll go with you, it's enough for you to reclaim the wasteland, and I'll take care of the rest."
Zhu Zi looked at everyone and ordered directly.
If you want to farm, the primary purpose is still land, and how to plant without land needs to be done step by step.
"Yes!"
Wang Zhi and the other officials were stunned, but they quickly reacted.
Although they didn't know how Zhu Zi wanted to plant, they could only obey orders for the sake of today's plan.
A group of officials left the mansion in a hurry.
Not to mention anything else, do a good job, they are very motivated, they have not been defeated by the status quo for a long time, as long as they can change the status quo, eat their stomachs, let them do anything, they are willing, just shouting people to reclaim wasteland, it is easy.
If it were to be changed to other places, it would probably be all rotten, and it had nothing to do with them, but these officials in Qiongzhou gave Zhu Zi a different feeling, and it was this feeling that infected him.
At first, he came simply, just for his own interests, to help the people by the way, but when he came here, he realized that it was not as simple as he thought.
I knew that the conditions in Qiongzhou were poor, but I didn't expect it to be so bad, everything had to start from scratch, and there was not even a serious piece of fertile land, so it had to be cultivated from a young age.
"Forget it, take your time."
Zhu Zi sighed lightly and walked outside.
"Dad, where have you been?"
A coquettish voice came, and as the voice got closer and closer, a young woman appeared in front of Zhu Zi.
Young and beautiful, sixteen or seventeen years old, but his face has long been childish, with scattered hair and sleepy eyes.
"Who are you, why haven't I seen you before?"
The young woman walked up to Zhu Zi suspiciously.
She hadn't seen a new face for a long time, and the people who came this time were so young, and they were usually some older officials who would come to the mansion, and there would be no such young people coming here at all.
"Who are you? Dare to trespass on Qiongzhou Mansion? ”
Zhu Zi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes also fell on the young woman.
There is no rouge and vulgar powder to modify and dress, but there is a fresh and refined beauty, which is not lost to those beautiful women in the imperial capital.
