Chapter 83: Charcoal

Mr. Hao once asked the master if this was what Mr. Min meant, and the master only said: "If it is his suggestion, you should see the letter." ”

At that time, he subconsciously thought of the idea of Tuntian, "Could it be Ji Niangzi?" ”

His Highness acquiesced.

Mr. Hao was very surprised, a little lady!

"And ...... next year's grain?" Ping An thought to himself, is it more wanted, or the soldiers who have a family, and the army will no longer supply food? If it's the former, where does the money come from; If it is the latter, wouldn't it solve His Highness's worries?

Several people looked at Yan Tao in unison.

Yan Tao said something irrelevant, "This year's New Year should be better." ”

"......" The crowd didn't understand what it meant.

Yan Tao got up, Kang Tai hurriedly picked up the big coat and put it on him, and he walked out of the official study.

Mr. Hao pondered his beard, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It's true!" "It's a good one, it's a smokescreen.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" The two staff members didn't understand and humbly asked for advice.

Mr. Hao pointed to the capital, "What would happen if the Holy Lord knew that His Highness's army was gone?" ”

Then I have to say, I must be happy! Of course, the two staff members didn't dare to say this, and they all smiled knowingly.

The Liaodong soldiers married the widow who attached the house to make a big fuss, and even the emperor knew about it, and he asked the emperor, "The old seven can't even afford to raise 30,000 horses?" ”

The emperor raised his eyes, but was silent and did not reply.

The boss of Shangshu Province arched his hand and said: "The frozen soil of Liaodong can't grow food, if you want to have food, you have to buy it from other places, and the king of Liaodong is afraid that he can't afford it." ”

Lao Qi sent people to Jiangnan a few times, how much silver was spent, and the emperor counted it with a smile on his face, "This year, the household department will hand it over early." That's it.

At this moment, the emperor relaxed his seventh brother who started with the army, what can he do if he is excellent in martial arts, and now it is the Taiping period, and Yan Tao is useless.

By the middle of November, only the younger 5,000 men of the 35,000-strong army were stationed on the mountain, and the rest were scattered among the people to start a family with the widow and the little lady.

With the drawings of the warm road, the soldiers braved the bitter cold to rebuild their houses and put them on the heat, and by the end of November, there were almost no people outdoors in Liaodong, and almost everyone was sleeping in warm huts for the winter.

Almost all of them do not include Wang Yantao of Liaodong, and Ji Someone, who has achieved financial freedom.

When I went to Linchun County to sell game in June and July, in the northernmost village of Dongsheng Town, a little boy came over with a few black pieces and asked if he could sell them for money.

There is also coal sold in the capital in the winter of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the fuel for many metallurgical furnaces is also coal, but no one knows Dongsheng Town, because there is too much wood in the stretching peaks and valleys, no one thinks about anything else if there is fuel for the fire; The second is that Dongsheng Town is located in a remote area, and the population is almost not mobile, so their cognition is limited, so no one knows them for a while, and this little boy who only wears a shredded shirt thinks that this little black piece is dried fungus, and takes it to exchange for copper.

Before it was cold and couldn't go out, she asked Mai Xiaoji, Li Ji and others to go to the valley in the north to pull a lot of them back and put them in a grass hut, enough for a winter, and this detail was discovered by Yan Tao.

You said he could let Ji Rongjin go!

In the cold winter, I went to the north valley with him, standing at the mouth of the coal outcrop, Yan Tao stroked his forehead, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" "If he said it earlier, how could he worry that the mountains and forests would be cut down by the army, how could he ......

Ji Rongjin touched his nose weakly, Yao Tingchang beat Li Dasan's idea for the sake of the population, since Yan Tao's army was stationed, she had the heart to fulfill those women who lost their men, and she also thought that even if she didn't intervene, more than 30,000 men and a group of women who lost their husbands would eventually come together, but this process was too long.

Whether it is for Yan Tao to raise the army, or for the spring woman to farm next year, it is an invisible waste, she thinks that as long as Yan Tao comes to her, she will add fuel to the fire.

And this wave has finally come to pass.

Ji Rongjin was weak-hearted, and his smile was a little flattering: "Your Highness, the plains can be tuntian, the mountains and rivers can be mined, you have a lot to do in Liaodong!" ”

Yan Tao squinted, "Tell me what you can do." ”

Ji Rongjin blinked, and said from her own heart that since she chose to stop here and settle down, then she wanted to do business locally, but the purchasing power in the area of Linchun County was not as good as that of a small town in the future, and if she wanted to carry out her business, she would have to go to Shanglin County, or even farther away, which she was unwilling.

The original plan was to plan where to go after the New Year, but now, when her eyes meet Yan Tao, her plan has completely changed.

"Your Royal Highness......" Standing on the top of the hill, she pointed to the vast black soil in the east, "Next year I will plant thousands of acres of rice, raise fish in ponds on the edge of paddy fields, and grow cotton in places where there is no water in high potential, as long as I can eat and sell for money, I will do it, what about you?" Why don't you try it together? ”

As a long history, Mr. Hao understood Liaodong thoroughly as soon as he came, "I have never heard that Liaodong can grow rice!" ”

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not feasible." Ji Rongjin said: "Since His Highness pulled me out, then I will ask His Highness to bring back all kinds of seeds when I go to Jiangnan to buy grain, and I will pay the silver." ”

Hearing the silver, Yan Tao's eyes were slightly wide, and his lips were smiling, which was meaningful.

"Ahem......" Ji Rongjin was looked at by him, "That's right, the silver earned from His Highness, His Highness can also earn it from me, how much do you say about rice seeds and cotton seeds, and how much I will pay you." ”

Ping An traveled with His Royal Highness today, and when he heard her words, he suddenly realized, "I bought all kinds of seeds from Jiangnan and sold them to farmers, so ...... "Is the bride price of His Highness's wife for the soldiers returned to His Highness in this way?"

His eyes were full of excitement.

Yan Tao and Master Hao glanced at each other, and the silver turned around and came back.

Of course, Ji Rongjin saw the interaction between the two and smiled indifferently, if the economic development momentum is good in the coming year, the silver will not only turn around, it can turn several times, and everyone will feel that they have more money in their hands and their lives are better, which is why people will sigh during the economic depression: You save our province, everyone doesn't need money, where is the money?

It's not that the money has become less, but the speed at which the money flows has slowed down, and eventually stagnates in the hands of those who have the resources, so it feels like there is no money in the pocket.

If the rice really grows, the problem of raising the army will be solved, of course Yan Tao is willing to try, "Ping'an, go to Jiangnan in the future, and ask Ji Dongjia for the list of seeds to buy." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Peace answers.

It turned out that he was Yan Tao's general manager, and finally let her see it, and pouted secretly, Yan Tao was really stingy and cautious.

"What other mines are there here besides coal?" Yan Tao will not let go of any concerns.

Ji Rongjin hurriedly waved his hand, "Go back to Your Highness, if it weren't for the coal being exposed by itself, I don't know, if you want to know what mines are in these mountains, you have to find relevant professionals to explore." ”
