Chapter 294 Express Delivery

Li Yewu hooked her lips and didn't say anything.

However, from the day I received the letter, I could see a group of people sending things from Shanhu Prefecture one after another.

Today it's a few letters plus a gift, tomorrow it's a few gifts plus a letter.

Later, a group of people were incapable of doing so, so they simply went to the dart bureau and fished out a group of brothers to go back with him, and they were responsible for sending things to the princess.

This is a good errand for the dart bureau, and everyone wants to be the delivery person.

Li Yewu was helpless and funny.

Who would have thought that in ancient times, she would also have "special delivery" treatment.

Either develop the postal business and specialize in helping people run errands and deliver letters.

However, considering that the means of transportation were not developed in these years, it was better to rely on either feet or horseback.

Not to mention that people are tired, even horses are estimated to be tired to death, and the unit price is also high, ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Li Yewu silently dispelled this idea, she opened the gifts given by Xiao Jiuxi one by one, this guy is quite caring, all he gave her was jewelry, and all kinds of interesting toys were given to Xiao Xiyu.

Xiao Xiyu's children showed great interest in these toys, and now he has a little baby teeth, which is the age when he loves to nibble on everything.

The toys sent by his father naturally became Xiao Xiyu's new favorite, and each toy had to be marked with a tooth mark before he would give up.

Li Yewu got up and wrapped the lake blue soft satin that had been on the bed plus a little tiger doll that Xiao Xiyu often played, and sent it to Shanhu Prefecture.

Seeing this, Zicui couldn't help but hook her lips and snicker.

The master will definitely be very happy to receive this soft satin.

Xiao Jiuxi, who is tossing people in Shanhu Prefecture in various ways, is indeed very depressed these days.

Speaking of which, these twelve family masters are indeed old foxes, and they seem to have felt Xiao Jiuxi's intention to deliberately provoke, no matter how they go to their shop to fight the autumn breeze in the past few days, no one has moved.

One by one, the turtles cowered in their mansions and remained silent, looking like they wanted to fight a protracted war.

However, for Xiao Jiuxi, the longer the time stretched, the more depressed he became. I thought that I would solve the matter in a month, but now that more than half a month has passed, things have reached a dead end.

What can I do now?

Just when he was irritable, the letter from Tai Qizhou arrived.

Looking at the big brocade box that came with the letter, Xiao Jiuxi's face, which had been dark for a few days, finally became a little brighter.

He excitedly unwrapped the package, and the lake blue soft satin and the little tiger appeared in front of him at once.

These two things still retain the taste of Li Yewu and Xiao Xiyu, and Xiao Jiuxi's heart is so soft that it can't be.

He scooped the thing into his own bad, sucked hard the thoughts from his heart, and then began to open Li Yewu's letter.

Li Yewu's letter is much simpler than his, and the content is much more substantial.

She roughly said that Tai Qian Zhou is about to spring ploughing, and breeding is also going to enter the breeding stage, and by the way, she also expressed her willingness to be a soy sauce factory.

At the end of the letter, he also said that there was a noble person at home, and she was busy entertaining, so she couldn't come to see him, so he asked him to work hard in Shanhu Prefecture, focus on safety, and do it boldly, and they would support him.

Finally, there is a red lip print.

Seeing this lip print, Xiao Jiuxi's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't wait to go back to Taiqi Prefecture to taste the soft lips for himself.

Pity......

Damn the Twelve House Masters.

Xiao Jiuxi didn't have a reason to complain more and more about the twelve family masters who were like turtles.

While mediating with the twelve masters, Shanhu Prefecture is also about to enter a busy spring plowing stage.

Unlike Taiqi Prefecture, spring in Shanhu Prefecture is particularly cold and rainy.

Tian Fu Yin said that Shanhu Prefecture has the heaviest spring rainfall of the year.

Spring rains are good for crops, but hard for farmers.

And there is a very serious problem in Shanhu Prefecture, where iron ore has accommodated a lot of labor

But now the iron mine has killed a lot of people because of the ground movement, and in order to prevent the plague, the mine is now closed, and it will be at least three years before it can be restarted.

Now, these miners have suddenly become a surplus labor, and there is no surplus land for them to cultivate at home, and there are not so many vacancies in the cities, so these people either gather in the streets and alleys to wait for some temporary work, or they have to go to other places to find a way and work.

However, leaving home is not the way out.

Xiao Jiuxi fell into deep thought, or else he would follow Li Yewu's example and make some work here?

As a ...... Re-consolidation of land?

After all, he is a virtuous king, what's wrong with thinking about the people? The Twelfth Family divided all the fertile land in Shanhu Prefecture, what happened to spit it out for the people? Reasonable, right? Pretty should, right?

So, Xiao Jiuxi smiled and asked Tianfu Yin to send an invitation to the Twelfth Family again.

This time, the head of the twelfth family did not delay, and came directly after receiving the invitation.

Xiao Jiuxi was moved by their speed.

"You are so righteous, and with your support, this king suddenly feels that the road ahead is not dark."

"......" Twelve Masters: You are the light, and we are the ones who think the darkness.

"I invite you here today mainly to discuss a major matter with you."

"......" Twelve Heads of the Family: We don't want to know.

"As far as I know, all of you are from a good family, and every head of the family gave food and help from people to rest in Shanhuzhou last time, and after a movement, they also gave away thousands of taels of silver, right?"

"Yes." The twelve family masters nodded hesitantly, but they only wanted to ask one thing in their hearts: What do you have to do with it.

"I admire your willingness to give, and you can only get if you are willing to give up, do you agree with this principle?"

"......" Twelve Family Masters: I feel deceitful and dare not speak.

"You must agree, or you wouldn't have done it." Xiao Jiuxi nodded: "However, these tens of thousands of taels of silver are not a cure for the symptoms after all. You see, now that the iron mines have been sealed off, and hundreds of thousands of people have no livelihood, if these people rely on you for relief every day, you will not be able to go bankrupt?"

"......" Twelve Heads of the Family: Who said we need relief?

"I have thought of a way for you once and for all, you simply give them ten acres and eight acres of fertile land each, and now one acre of fertile land in Shanhu Prefecture is only fifty taels, and your family will not lose much in the great cause."

「???」 Everyone finally understood what Xiao Jiuxi was going to do, and couldn't help but show a question mark on their faces.

"Lord Wang, what are you talking about?"

"Let's give the good land to these people? Why?"

"Not to mention whether the land can be bought and sold, even if it can be bought and sold, it has to be exchanged for real money, what you say is to let us give the land, please forgive me for not being able to do it."

The twelve family heads directly refused.
