Since he can remember, Zhao Gaowei has understood a truth: if he can't bear all kinds of grievances and pain, he can't protect himself.

This realization accompanied him from childhood to adulthood, from marriage to the loss of the princess and his only son.

The name of King Cheng'an may mean royal status and glory to others, but for Zhao Gaowei, it is a shackle that presses on him.

"Lord Wang, the times make heroes. Although I am a woman, I also know how important a wise man is to the people of the world. Nothing else, at least you have the common people in mind, which is much better than the Holy One today!"

When it came to this, how could Ye Hao watch Xie Yunshu exert his strength alone, and quickly stood up and cooperated with the other party to lobby.

However, even if the purpose of saying this is to persuade Zhao Gaowei, it is also the true thought in her heart.

Combined with Xie Yunshu's experience and the memory of the original owner, Ye Hao didn't have a good impression of the high-ranking emperor as soon as he crossed over.

Especially after hearing about the past of Lin Bin's family, he felt more and more that there was nothing wrong with Xie Yunshu's idea of wanting to pull the old emperor off the throne.

If there is no mercy to loyal ministers, let alone the people of this world?

On the other hand, Zhao Gaowei has done a better job in this regard than the current saint.

At the very least, in his fiefdom, the management regulations are impartial, and he does not completely obey the words of the female cadres like the old emperor.

Just by virtue of Zhao Gaowei's attitude towards those girls in distress, Ye Hao has a lot of positive feelings about him from the bottom of her heart.

What's more, he is still Zhao Yi's father!

Facing the persuasion of the couple, Zhao Gaowei's face changed a few times, and then turned into a sigh.

"You don't know how much strength this king has, and how can you have the ability to compete with others?"

The Lingnan region was the poorest and most remote place in the entire Domain, otherwise it would not have become a place of exile.

King Cheng'an's fief is such an area, and there is almost not much tax left every year, and all of them are spent by Zhao Gaowei.

The savings in the treasury of his palace were still saved by some of the things that the old emperor rewarded when he divided the royal brothers after the failure of several princes to seize the throne.

Zhao Gaowei is the most unsupported of several princes, if he wants a relative or a relative, he has no relationship, so he has been operating in Lingnan for many years and has gained a lot of subordinates.

But if you really want to compare it with King Ruixian, it's completely inadequate.

After all, if you really want to fight, the comparison is between grain and grass and soldiers and horses.

As far as the situation in Lingnan is concerned, Zhao Gaowei can afford the stability of northern Lingnan, not to mention that he can come up with enough grain and grass to raise soldiers and horses and fight.

Jiang Nan has this confidence, but how can he be sure that Xia Bohan will definitely help him wholeheartedly?

Originally, Zhao Gaoyu was suspicious of Xia Bohan's coming over to show goodwill, afraid that it would be a pit.

As a prince who is neither favored nor powerful, where is he worthy of the other party's attention?

Hearing that he actually had some thoughts in his heart, but was restrained by the reality, Ye Hao immediately patted his chest and promised:

"If the prince is worried about lack of money and food, then I will have the courage to say a word. Everyone thinks that the climate in Lingnan is too hot to support crops, but in fact, the conditions for growing each grain are different, and there are rice crops that are suitable for growing in water, and there are also other crops that are suitable for growing in dry land."

Ye Zhen is referring to corn.

It's just that at this time, she couldn't say it clearly, so she had to make up a lie to stabilize Zhao Gaowei's heart.

"My wife and I also lived in Lingnan for some time, and when we were still in the county town of Barbarian further south, we stumbled upon a plant that grew extremely luxuriantly in the wasteland. The fruit of this plant can be ground into flour, which has a different taste from wheat flour, but it is still very satisfying!"

To cover up the origin of the corn, what Ye Hao said was true and false, and only Xie Yunshu knew.

But the latter is equally aware of the unsolved mysteries of the former

Many. If she could say that, she would be able to make it happen.

Hearing Ye Hao say this, even if Zhao Gaowei was no longer willing to raise troops to fight, for the livelihood of many people in Lingnan, he was also interested.

"Are there really such plants?"

There are many wastelands in Lingnan, and there are many unknown wild grasses and wild flowers.

There are also people who have tried to distinguish edible species from these lush weeds and wildflowers, which can be compared to wheat, but there is really none.

The south of the Yangtze River is suitable for growing rice, while the areas around the capital, especially in the north, are suitable for growing wheat.

However, due to the fact that the north is in the center of power, wars and uprisings often occur, resulting in poor livelihood and not much food output.

On the contrary, it has always been extremely stable in Jiangnan, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and can farm with confidence, which has created the reputation of the first granary.

"How dare I deceive you? It's just that I haven't found the right opportunity to talk about it. By the way, I had planned to set aside half of the wasteland I bought from you to try to grow that kind of plant."

In fact, Ye Hao still has two high-yield crops in his hands that can be used as staple food, that is, sweet potatoes and potatoes that were sent back to Manyi County before.

These two starchy plants can be compared with wheat and rice in this era, after all, they are food that can fill their stomachs, and being able to eat enough is a luxury for the people at the bottom.

The main reason is that these two plants can be grown in Lingnan and will not affect their maturity due to the hot climate.

It's just that the planting of sweet potatoes is not yet eyebrow-raising at the moment, and Ye Hao doesn't want to be in a hurry, so it is better to take out the corn that was planned to be planted in Chengpingzhou County before.

Corn seeds are much cheaper than sweet potatoes, after all, the rhizome of the latter is the body, and it is more expensive.

With the 10,000 merit points exchanged for that song book, Ye Hao is now much richer in her wallet, and she can still afford to exchange a batch of corn seeds a little.

Anyway, when she lied just now, she said that she found it by accident, so it makes sense that there weren't many seeds left, right?

When Ye Hao was complacent, Xie Yunshu glanced at her and did not debunk her lame lie.

On the other side, Zhao Gaowei didn't guess that Ye Hao was lying, and thought that it was really pie in the sky that allowed her to discover such a vital plant.

After all, in front of him, the other party has always maintained a positive image, and has not exposed her unreliable nature at all.

"If what you say is true, then the king is willing to buy the seeds you have cultivated at a high price!"

said with some excitement that Zhao Gaowei was ready for heavy bleeding.

These words made Ye Hao stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly waved her hand.

"The prince is serious! If it can be successfully cultivated, I am willing to contribute the remaining seeds, and I only hope that the people of Lingnan will no longer suffer from hunger."

The seeds produced by the system, as long as they are not thrown in a pit, they should not be a problem, and they should not be a problem if they take care of it with a little care.

Besides, Ye Hao still has a book of agricultural planting in her hand!

If there is any problem in the planting process, she can always look through professional books to find a solution.

Such a thought crossed her heart, and before she could continue to speak, Xie Yunshu couldn't help but speak out and pulled the topic back.

"Even if there is no problem with this kind of grain from the insider, it can only save the people of Lingnan. The prince cares about the people, doesn't he want to save the other people, so that they don't have to live in misery all the time?"

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more talkative, even though he knew in his heart that Ye Hao would suddenly bring up corn in order to help him, he still hadn't forgotten the core content of today's conversation.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gaowei's smiling face stiffened for a moment, and he didn't make a sound.

It's not that he resisted what Xie Yunshu said, but he really didn't have the confidence to respond.

Ye Hao and Xie Yunshu glanced at each other, and the two had bad words

It's all said, Zhao Gaowei's attitude has been unclear, and they can't do anything.

Shaking his head secretly, Xie Yunshu knew that it would be fruitless to continue to ask, so he asked the first question he asked here.

"Regarding Wei Zhang's matter, what does the prince think? If you don't want to accept it, Uchiko will go and reject that Miss Wei."

Zhao Gaowei was unsure of his mind about whether to fight for the throne or not, but he was still able to make a quick decision on Wei Zhang's matter.

Originally, he didn't plan to agree, after all, Wei Zhang was a five-grade official no matter what he said, even if the position of Zhongshu Sheren was too much in the imperial court, it was an idle position.

If he really moved to Lingnan, it would be a bit eye-catching.

However, the person who brought up the matter was Ye Hao, and Ye Hao had just agreed that he was willing to give away a newly discovered food crop.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Gaowei still nodded.

"This matter is not difficult to do, but Wei Zhang's side has to explain a point, since he has come to Lingnan, he has full authority to listen to the arrangement of this king."

"It's natural."

Zhao Gaowei's promise was a surprise for Ye Hao, and she listened to the other party's tone in front of her, and almost didn't hold out any hope.

Suddenly, she received an affirmative reply, and she must have said yes to this request.

After getting the good news, Ye Hao hurried back to the hall non-stop and informed Wei Hange, who was still waiting.

Now that Zhao Gaowei has personally responded to this matter, I think his actions will not be slow, at least Wei Zhang's father and daughter don't have to rush back to the capital.

As for the families who are still in the capital, they can write a letter back for now, so that they can prepare to move their families.

The news brought by Ye Hao naturally made Wei Hange overjoyed, he didn't expect that he could get such a surprise after breaking the kettle.

It's just that before leaving, she hesitated for a moment, but still said the trace of thought hidden in her heart.

"Madam, the friend you mentioned earlier, I wonder if they can come to Lingnan with you."

Wei Hange's friend is in the middle of the road, so there is a little bit of family background and a useless petty official name, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not.

Such a little person naturally couldn't get into Zhao Gaoyu's eyes, and of course she didn't dare to trouble Ye Hao about this matter anymore.

In fact, there is no need to alarm Zhao Gaowei about this matter, if the family wants to enter Lingnan, as long as the people from Cheng'an Wangfu nod, it can be solved.

As for the official body, his life is almost gone, who is still rare about this?

"If they are willing to give up their existing official positions and enter Lingnan as civilians, the prince will not refuse."

Xie Yunshu, who didn't know when he came with Ye Hao, walked into the hall and heard Wei Hange talk about his friend, so he answered for Ye Hao.

Compared with Wei Zhang, who was a five-grade Beijing official, that family was indeed nothing.

When Wei Hange, who was looking for a sound, saw Xie Yunshu, the whole person was stunned.

"You ......"
