Chapter 557: The Current Situation of the Xifeng Kingdom
After dinner, Murong Li came back tired after a long time, and his mind was still buzzing, which was made by the minister who asked for silver.
Su Yue helped him and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
"It's not because of the problem of silver, just solved one, and another one, hey, what a headache, I now understand why my father threw this mess at me so quickly."
Murong Li in turn helped Su Yue to sit down, he pinched his eyebrows tiredly, sat on the stool, poured a glass of water with a cup, and drank it with a grunt.
Xifeng Country is really full of holes, there is no place that does not need to be repaired, although the Jiangnan area is a little richer, but there are perennial floods there, even if the people can fill their stomachs, if you want to say how much silver you have in your hands, it is not.
His bank is open over there, and there is no large amount of deposits, if it weren't for the purpose of collecting news, he would want to close the four seas bank.
"It's a matter of money again, I have a good idea here, tell you about it, what do you think."
Murong Li raised his head, looked at Su Yue and nodded, "Then Yue'er said to listen to it." ”
Su Yue nodded and told Murong Li her method.
After Murong Li heard this, his eyes lit up, the fatigue suddenly disappeared, and he patted him on the thigh: "Yue'er, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it, now the people everywhere can't eat enough, and they use the grain to pay for their wages, which is more joyful than directly paying the people." ”
Murong Li was so happy that he hugged Su Yue is kiss.
"Stop!"
Su Yue was uncomfortable being kissed by him, she was still pregnant now, and it would be troublesome for Murong Li to go off the gun later.
When Murong Li heard her shout, he immediately stopped, suppressed the fire that had just been lit in his body, touched Su Yue's belly, and said in his heart that for the sake of these three little cubs, he deprived his father of his welfare, and when they came out, he had to slap their buttocks.
"Then let's go into the space and have a look, I have to plan it well."
After Su Yue hummed softly, he took Murong and left the space.
The next day, Murong Li told the minister who asked for money his idea, and the ministers were overjoyed when they heard it, they slapped their thighs like Murong Li, yes, this method is good, but they all looked at Murong Li, "Your Majesty, where does the grain come from?" ”
Murong Li waved his hand at them: "Don't worry, I won't use the money in the treasury, the queen has many Zhuangzi and a lot of grain, so use those grains." ”
As soon as Hubu Shangshu heard that he didn't need to use the treasury, he was upset, and when he heard that Murong Li was going to open a jerky workshop, he immediately took over the errand.
Opening a workshop outside is still the result of Murong Li's discussion with Su Yue, after all, making jerky in Su Yue's space is not a long-term solution, even if they are no longer in Xifeng Country at that time, the jerky workshop can still be opened.
Murong Li was of course willing to take over the errand of opening a workshop, and they quickly implemented the matter of opening a workshop.
As soon as the matter was implemented, Murong Li's whole person was refreshed.
So he went down early, he remembered that today seemed to be the day when Su Yan got married, and he wanted to see if Yue'er wanted to go back.
Su Yue wanted to go back and take a look, but she was really not suitable to go out and walk around now, and the last time Princess Zhaoyang assassinated her, it cast a shadow in her heart.
Today, the Guogong Mansion held a wedding banquet, there were many people and many events, and she was afraid that something would happen, so it was safer to stay in the palace.
However, Su Yue still sent Hongye to take a trip, Hongye and Hongyu are the aunts in charge beside her, and their identities are not ordinary, she goes to represent her, and she has the same face as the head of the Guogong Mansion.
That night, Su Yue moved all the food out of the space and handed it to Murong Li, and then handed it over to the household department and asked the household department to arrange it.
Seeing the mountains of grain, Tobe Shangshu cried with joy.
He divided the grain into ten parts, four parts were sent to the border pass, and one was given to the Wei army, and the soldiers had the strength to guard the frontier and guard the Xifeng Kingdom only when their stomachs were full.
Two copies were left in the treasury, and the three were immediately sent to various places to be distributed as wages.
The people who worked were holding the white grains, and they were all energetic in their work.
This kind of fine grain, they, the people who have grown grain all their lives, have never eaten it, but now the government is paying them wages, how can they not work hard.
When the dried meat was sent down, the people worked harder.
When the grain and dried meat were very popular with the people, the officials from all over the country fed back the information back to the imperial court, and there was an uproar in the court, and they all praised Murong Li, the emperor, as the smartest, wisest, and most courageous emperor they had ever seen, and almost praised Murong Li to the sky.
Murong Li only laughed dryly, anyway, praising him and praising Yue'er was praising them, they were husband and wife, he didn't refute it, and accepted it calmly.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye], Su Yue has been pregnant for seven months, her belly is as big as a basin, and it is difficult to walk.
At this time, it is almost August, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and it is almost entering the autumn harvest season.
In the first half of the year, the local harvest of sweet potatoes was good, and in the second half of the year, the people of Xifeng Kingdom all planted sweet potatoes and waited for the autumn harvest.
This year, the people of Xifeng Kingdom will finally not go hungry.
However, the project of diverting water from the south to the north has not yet been completed, and it will take almost two years to complete it.
This also used Murong Li's secret guards, when they encountered a place that needed to open the mountain, they sneaked there at night and directly used internal force to open the mountain, which saved a lot of time.
Otherwise, it would take ten or even twenty Chinese New Year's Eve years to dig with the hands of ordinary people.
The fortification of the Quadripartite border was almost completed at the end of the year, and it was in full swing at this time.
There is news from Qingniu Pass, and since the soldiers there have become self-sufficient, more people have settled there.
The number of soldiers there has risen from the original 100,000 to the current 200,000, and after the soldiers increased, they not only reclaimed the land in front of the Qingniu Gate, but also reclaimed a lot of land near the Qingniu Mountains.
Now the Qingniu Mountains belong to the Xifeng Kingdom, and many people go to the foot of the mountain to settle down.
This Murong Li was fully supportive, not only supporting, but also encouraging people who were struggling to survive in other places to move there.
In the future, Dongfeng Kingdom will not exist, so whether or not there are people to survive there will have no impact on Xifeng Kingdom at all.
It will not affect the war between the two countries in the future, and Murong Li will not put the battlefield in Qingniu Pass.
In addition, under the leadership of Lord Fang, the Northwest County has all solved the problem of food and clothing.
Sweet potatoes are the most suitable for growing in Northwest County, and they are the first to be planted, and after having sweet potatoes, the people of Northwest County will never go hungry again.
