Chapter 126: You Can't Really Do Anything Without Money
"Are you really here to apologize?" Ding Honghua looked at the two of them who were gobbling up, and her calm mood was faintly a little unable to suppress the fire.
"Ah, Miss Ding, we are indeed here to apologize, and in this way, in view of my rude behavior this morning, I punish myself with three chicken legs." Li Feiqiu brought the plate of chicken legs to him.
"Well, I'll punish myself with two abalones." Yang Ziyu said.
"You're almost enough, just rub the rice, why make excuses." Ding Honghua slapped the table and stood up, although because the table was relatively high, she was not much taller than she was sitting.
"Thank you so much, not only forgave us, but also gave us so much food, I have made up your friend." At this time, Li Feiqiu was also full of food and drink, wiped his mouth, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and said with a full burp.
"I don't want to be friends with you!" Ding Honghua shouted.
"I know this, it seems to be tsundere, that is, on the surface, 'Bah, who wants to be friends with you, Miss Ben doesn't bother to talk to mortals like you', but in fact, I am very happy inside." Li Feiqiu said.
“……”
……
"Well, we're kicked out." Yang Ziyu stood on the side of the road and said dissatisfied.
“…… Uh, unexpected, unexpected, but at least we had a full meal. Li Feiqiu said, "I made a lot of money today." ”
"What then? Still continue to drink white porridge and eat pickles? Yang Ziyu rolled her eyes, "Oh, you're okay, that princess, all you drank this morning was multigrain porridge." ”
"Hmm...... Actually, it's not that you can't get food. Li Feiqiu's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a solution.
"I hope your plan is reliable, or I'll chop you up." Yang Ziyu brandished a long knife that he didn't know where to get it and threatened.
"It should be reliable...... Li Feiqiu said cautiously.
……
"Ziyu, you finally came to me, I brought you a lot of food, you just have to eat with confidence, I promise you won't eat it!" Yun Jiangyue showed off and commanded the shipwright to move boxes to the port.
"That's what you're talking about?" Yang Ziyu said angrily.
"Don't worry about it, we have something to eat, don't we?" Li Feiqiu happily asked the few subordinates of the princess's mansion to carry things to the carriage.
"Ziyu, although I am engaged, but what I like is you, you wait, I will find a way to withdraw the marriage when I go back, you have to wait for me!" Before leaving, Yun Jiangyue stood at the stern of the boat and burst into tears.
"I really don't want to see this guy again, really!" Yang Ziyu roared.
"Well, in fact, it's been a while, I'm thinking of a way, there are no water wheels in this place, there are no canals, and growing crops is indeed a little problem, so we first have to find a way to build some infrastructure." Li Feiqiu said, "In addition, I took a look, is there no one here who is engaged in breeding?" It feels like there's a bit less meat. ”
"Because there is no castration, the pigs here don't produce much meat, and they don't taste very good." Yang Ziyu said.
"Why not?" Li Feiqiu was puzzled.
"The common people themselves can't eat enough, where is the chaff to feed the pigs, and even if there is, basically no one buys it, so no one raises it." Yang Ziyu said.
"Forget it, let's talk about this later, let's build a canal first." Li Feiqiu said.
However, it is not the same as imagined, not only the pig industry has not been implemented, but even the canal cannot be built, when he returned to the princess's mansion, he told Princess Jiuping about this plan-
"There's no money, if you have money, these things can be solved." After listening to his plan, Princess Jiuping expressed her great appreciation, but still rejected the proposal.
"You're thinking too simply, do you think that by making a canal, farmers can grow more food?" Ding Honghua also said unceremoniously, "There are mountains everywhere here, and there are few flat lands, isn't it a bit worthless to dig a canal for such a little land?" ”
"Can't we terrace the hillside?" Li Feiqiu touched his nose, "Anyway, the grain output must go up, if this can't be guaranteed, it will be impossible to accumulate grain." ”
Terrace is to transform the terrain on the hilly and mountainous land, build stone stems in the adaptable position, reduce the slope in an area, and form a flat cultivated land.
"Terraces...... Elaborate? Princess Jiuping's eyes lit up.
The principle of the terraces is still relatively simple, Li Feiqiu just described it a little, and a few people understood it, and then the biggest problem is this-
"No money." Princess Jiuping spread her hands, "This thing is really good, but we really don't have money, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transform the terraces, although we can really get a lot of arable land in the end, but we can't afford the transformation process." ”
"Money is such a good thing." Li Feiqiu was completely deflated, this was completely different from what he thought, but he thought, "If we can lead the water to the top of the mountain and let the water flow wash away, we don't need to rely on manpower to excavate and transform the terraces." ”
"That's right, and no matter how much we try to get the water to the top of the mountain, as you say, how long will it take to get it done by the current?" Ding Honghua said.
Several people vetoed Li Feiqiu's suggestions one by one, and in the end, Li Feiqiu couldn't think of any better way at all.
"Or, issue treasury bonds?" Just after a few people were about to disperse, Li Feiqiu finally held back a new idea.
"National debt?" The first time Princess Jiuping had heard of such a thing.
"It is to issue bonds to the people in the name of Jiuping Mansion to borrow money, borrow money to get the terraces well, and after getting them out, you can slowly repay the debts." Li Feiqiu said.
"How can you guarantee that this bond can be sold, and the people are not stupid, can it be forcibly issued? There will be resentment among the people. Ding Honghua said.
"Take the tax guarantee, and take the renovated terraces as a settlement." Li Feiqiu said, "For the people, if they have land, they have everything, and they can get land by buying this bond, and they won't do it, plus the tax guarantee, and they don't have to worry about not being able to recover the capital, I really can't imagine what the people are unhappy about." ”
"Well, what if someone forges bonds?" Ding Honghua asked.
In this era when science and technology are not very developed, anti-counterfeiting marks are indeed a very important thing, if someone forges it, it is really difficult to do.
"She's joking, we have a way." Princess Jiuping comforted.
"What's the solution?" Li Feiqiu asked.
"There is a crystal soul under my command, and her crystal soul is to apply a special, non-imitation mark, which is usually used to transmit secret letters, and it can be borrowed for a while." Princess Jiuping said with a wink.
……
"Wake up, that princess has brought the sample, can you look at this way?" The next day, Li Feiqiu was woken up by Yang Ziyu.
"What?" Li Feiqiu had just woken up and was a little confused.
"Look, is this okay?" Yang Ziyu pointed to a red mark on a piece of white paper and said.
"It doesn't feel any different, huh?" Li Feiqiu picked up the piece of paper and shook it, and found that it was a peculiar pattern, just like an ordinary seal printed.
"Well, you see." Yang Ziyu picked up the white paper and shook it, the pattern actually began to burn, Li Feiqiu was startled, took two steps back, looked over again, and found that it was a blank paper, as if the flame just now was his hallucination.
"That's it, as long as this pattern moves, a flame will appear, and when it stops, the flame will disappear." Yang Ziyu was very satisfied with Li Feiqiu's performance, "But if it's just an imitation pattern, no matter how you shake it, there will be no flame effect." ”
“……”
"What's wrong with you? Silly? Yang Ziyu was puzzled.
"With this anti-counterfeiting mark, it is too condescending to make a national debt, if this is directly made into paper money, will it not make a lot of money?" Li Feiqiu was overjoyed.
"What do you say?" Yang Ziyu didn't understand.
"It's okay, I'll ask about the situation first, don't veto me again." Li Feiqiu got dressed and ran out, completely ignoring Yang Ziyu, who looked confused.
"I don't know what kind of nerves are being made?" Yang Ziyu pouted and continued to play with the paper.
