After Dressing Up As a Princess, Engaged In Infrastructure Construction

Chapter 53: What's the matter?

It was New Year's Eve again, Zhe Qing still took the children into the palace and gave them red envelopes, telling them some small daily matters, and then the New Year's Eve dinner and the ministers had a feast, and began a new busy.

The first thing to do this year is to deal with dams, canals and food. After the new year, there was still no snow. Qin Tianjian had some skills, so he told Zheqing worriedly that this year was not the problem of the poor harvest, but that there would be a severe drought.

So the dam that started last year has a huge effect. Canal and lake reclamation also continued. Then the court began to explain to farmers some drought-tolerant crops that could be planted during droughts.

For example, corn is actually very drought-tolerant, and sweet potatoes, etc., can be planted. Before, some of them needed wet weather to survive. This year, they will not be planted, and the main thing is to have a full stomach.

And because last winter, I guessed that this year's harvest would be bad, so Zhe Qing and Sun Xiang discussed together and planned to control the price of grain in the Yu and Lu countries on a large scale. Things to promote business development, then this year is to save, open source and reduce expenditure.

As a result, these things prevented the entire court of the Yu Kingdom from taking annual leave—who dares to rest, didn't you see that even the emperor, who has become increasingly loose in recent years, has been busy all day?

Seeing that the State of Lu is about to be defeated, maybe some of the top officials from the frontiers will be chosen to go to Wenzhou and many other prefectures with unknown names, and they will have to perform well.

Anyone who seems to be busy doesn't touch the ground, and whoever touches the ground feels uneasy, and always feels that there is still something to do.

The words and deeds of the imperial court were seen by the politicians or businessmen of Yu and other countries. The people of Yu did not cause much panic because of the constant explanations by officials every day. Frightened, he hurried to his house.

There are several routes to run home. You have been in the Yu Kingdom for several years, and feel that the Yu Kingdom is the place where the immortals are. If there is a severe drought today, no one will say where the roots are. It is better to bring the daughter-in-law, son, parents and relatives over. When there were too many refugees in the end, and Yu Kingdom closed the border, that was the real despair.

But there are also those who pay attention to the return of fallen leaves to their roots. Even if there is a severe drought, it is not without drought, so they should buy some food to go home and store it for the old father and others.

Then when I inquired, I was not allowed to sell food.

"Why -" a Qi merchant shouted, "We give money, you give food, it has always been good, why suddenly stop selling."

Yu Shang smiled and said: "The government has issued a notice, how can we dare to sell you so much?"

Then Qi Shang said softly, "Our friendship, buddy, sell me a little bit."

Yu Shang disagreed, holding his hand across his neck and making a beheading gesture, saying, "You forgot, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess may have a hobby of performing surgery at the beginning of the year, this year hasn't started yet, I don't dare ."

It's a joke, if there is a serious drought, will you sell it now and lose so much money? He has to wait, and after that, even if the imperial court presses down the price of food, it will still be able to make a profit.

Not for sale anyway.

In such a situation, it is the people who live and work in peace and contentment. It is time to grow vegetables and discuss the Plenum of the People.
