Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 130

The imperial court is short of money, it is really short of money!
How short of money is it?So short of money, among those who want to take action on Jin Meiyu's property, there is the emperor!

It's just a pity that the shopkeepers of Jin Meiyu's shops didn't accept the offer at all, as long as they found any signs, they would drag their families and leave overnight.

Withhold their goods?

Just buckle it up, even if this batch of goods is worth thousands of gold, they can turn around and let go, and then the shopkeeper will add work, and the next day they will disappear!

If you say you want to detain them, it’s fine if you detain them, or you can’t let them go, and they stay in the city obediently, and there are people who give them food and drink every day. Turn to food from the cellar at home.

Isn't there a food shortage all the time? Of course Jin Meiyu's workers and shopkeepers can't starve to death. Every family has a lot of food, so it's okay to be sleepy for two or three years!

If you let them cooperate, they will cooperate. If you tell them to stay at home and not go out, they will stay at home and not go out. However, when the rumors pass, the shopkeeper will take the money to go to the Yamen to clear things up. Food, basically can get away.

In this way, the court turned around and found that all those under Jin Meiyu had gone up the mountain, saying that they were helping to build another courtyard, and the construction period was calculated on the basis of a year and a half.

After all, this is private property, and it is property under the name of Princess Taiping. The reputation of Princess Taiping is really good among the people. In addition, it is not a secret that Jin Meiyu encountered a shipwreck. into the ears of the common people.

The life and death of Princess Taiping is unknown here, and the imperial court began to persecute the people under Princess Taiping and seize his property. This is really easy to do!
It would be okay if these people were scattered, but now they are all gathered together, the big guys are watching, even the old emperor dare not touch them at this time.

So, where will the court's money come from?

There is really nowhere to go!

What should I do if I have nowhere to go?In order to get more food, the imperial court could only buy things from the hands of those merchants.

It’s just that the disaster has lasted so long, and it’s not just food that’s been affected. In the territory of the Yu Dynasty, there’s not even much bark left, let alone those luxuries.

Coupled with the fact that the food comes from across the ocean, the price is not cheap, and the money pressure on the imperial court is not ordinary!
It's just that the imperial court can't give up control of food. However, the imperial court is indeed out of money. It's okay to do it once or twice. If there are more times and the amount is larger, those businessmen are not happy.

That's it, during the nine months that Jin Meiyu disappeared, the natural disaster is gradually passing, but the domestic situation is getting worse!
Just when the emperor was seriously ill and public complaints arose in Dayu, Jin Meiyu came back and brought back extremely high-yield grain seeds!
The cultivation of grain and fruit does not need to choose the land. Good fields can be planted, and barren fields can also be planted. For barren fields, one mu of land is about [-] catties. If the fields are better and intensive cultivation, the yield that can be achieved will be higher, and grain and fruit Seeds and fruits are not the same kind, and what is produced can be used. There is no need to keep part of the output as seeds. Moreover, grains and fruits are somewhat similar to rice. As long as they are not damp, they can be stored for a long time. Appearing, it is definitely the gospel of the people!

Jin Meiyu's return was so sudden that she caught the port side by surprise, and the officials at the port side didn't expect that the princess would come back safely. They didn't have time to ask their superiors for instructions, so they wanted to stop this Princess, he has masters under his command, and this land is still his fiefdom on the surface. If he comes back, if they stay, it will be unfair.

Even with a strong one, it's useless!
First of all, again, this is the fiefdom of the princess. Although there are many troops stationed outside, there is no way to really pull the army to fight Jin Meiyu. No way!

But what is the use of three or five hundred?It's not enough for a Wu Nai next to him to beat him!
Secondly, and the most important point, all the servants around him are powerful men, not to mention ordinary people, even elite soldiers are not as good as a maid beside him, so what is there to say?It's serious to be invited aside honestly, don't resist!
This is the foundation of the family.

Jin Meiyu is completely a blow to reduce dimensionality. After all, it is not a kind of family that can have four affiliated families like Jinlu Qianqiu!

Really speaking, these four families, looking at the entire Great Yu Dynasty, only the Xiao family and the affiliated families of the royal family can rival the historically rich families. These four families have a complete education system, and their skills have been honed Afterwards, it was concluded that the clansmen have learned from generation to generation, and it has reached the point where newborn babies have different postures.

Therefore, when Jin Meiyu was born, she had a great advantage.

The emperor probably didn't expect that Jin Meiyu could come back alive, plus the emperor is seriously ill at the moment, Jin Meiyu should be in control of Feng Ge, plus her own 'armed force', and she has no loss at all. manager.

Soon, the fief was back in her hands again, and all the officials sent by the emperor went back to sit on the bench, and the stewards and loyal Jin Meiyu who had been replaced were notified to return and returned to their posts .

Jin Meiyu's speed was too fast, almost as soon as she got off the boat, everything was arranged, as if it had been premeditated!
The little general was found with a complicated mood. When he saw the intact Jin Meiyu, his mood was very complicated.

Jin Meiyu didn't talk nonsense with the little general, and straight to the point showed the little general the grains and fruits she brought back.

"This thing is called grain and fruit, and the yield per mu is about [-] catties. I can provide enough grain and fruit as food for you troops guarding the border. It's free, but I have one request."

Even if there are thousands of words in his heart, the little general can't remember them all at this moment.Although he has never seen this thing, but the name has the word grain, so he wants it!

"How much can you provide? How to eat this thing?"

After speaking, he thought about it again, and said uncertainly.

"What do you want? What is your request?"

Jin Meiyu glanced at the maid serving beside her, who picked up the tray on the table and carried it to the little general.

On the tray was a bowl with a pile of broken rice in it.

The little general was stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully picked up the spoon on the side, dug some broken rice and put it in his mouth.

After the entrance, the feeling is different, and the eyes of the little general are bright!

"Is this a grain and fruit? Do you have to smash the grain and fruit to eat? Can it be cooked directly? Is it convenient to eat?"

Seeing that the little general was focused on food and fruits, Jin Meiyu asked the maid to introduce to the little general first, and she first looked at the income and expenditure and some things that happened in the recent period sent up below.

Although she has a conch, it's no problem to deliver the message.

However, the transmission of news over there has certain limitations, and they can only quickly learn about the news from the capital side, but the news from the fiefdom side is delayed.

At the moment, Jin Meiyu is looking at some things that happened in the fief recently, as well as the submissions about the losses during this period.

Losses are inevitable. When she took out the pill to the emperor, she thought that today would happen. Whether it was to let the steward hoard food or hoard some gold and silver, it had been arranged long ago.

It's just that the reported loss was more than she expected. It seems that the situation in the court is a little tense.

Jin Meiyu is looking at the data here, and the maid over there has finished introducing Liangguo. Looking at the fairy!
"The princess actually found such a grain, reported it to the emperor, and spread it in the future, it must be of great merit!"

The little general was indeed very happy, not because of Jin Meiyu's immeasurable merits, but because they had rations and fruits, so they would not have to worry about rations in the future!

The little general thought well and was naive, but his happiness at the moment is real.

After being happy for a while, the little general remembered Jin Meiyu's previous request, put away his joy, and hurriedly asked.

"What do you want to do, Princess? What are your requirements?"

After thinking about it, I added it.

"Although my family guards the border and has military power, there are really not many things we can do. It is not as good as civil servants in the imperial court."

Of course, if you want to rebel, then forget it!

Yes, even if Jin Meiyu wants to rebel at this moment, the little general can just nod and do it!
After all, these days, the one who has food is the uncle. The natural disaster has been going on for so long, and the frontier soldiers have lived enough to live without hunger. If Jin Meiyu has enough food for them, let alone a rebellion, even Some of them are willing to directly promote Jin Meiyu as the empress!

Of course, Jin Meiyu would not really let them do this, even if these people were willing, she would not!
Don't look at Jin Meiyu who is usually quite willful, and she is not soft on fooling the emperor, but in fact, she has studied orthodox Confucianism, and the concept of the king as the leader of the minister is still relatively deep-rooted in her heart.

Therefore, she really did not intend to overthrow the Yu Dynasty, nor did she want the people who were already suffering to suffer from the war.

Therefore, she made a request to the little general that was much simpler than rebellion.

"I can provide a batch of food to all the border troops, but they must promise to do one thing."

"Princess, tell me."

"You have to promise not to participate in the next prince's battle."

The little general blinked his eyes, a little unresponsive.

Jin Meiyu explained to him.

"The emperor is seriously ill, and the battle between the princes has entered a fierce stage. I hope that the border army will not join the battle between the princes, that is, they will not support any prince to succeed to the throne!"

The little general complained in her heart that she even knew about the emperor's serious illness. It seems that this shipwreck survey was not an accident!

But turning around, he had some doubts.

"The emperor is seriously ill, has it been a long time?"

The little general no longer has much respect for the emperor who does not distribute military rations.

Hearing that the emperor was seriously ill, there was no big reaction, just doubts.

If it is really sick, it will take about ten days if news spreads from the capital.

Can the seriously ill emperor last ten days?But don't let the emperor die of illness when they talk!
The little general's mind is easy to understand, at least Jin Meiyu can understand it!

She couldn't talk to the little general about the emperor's recent illness, she just talked to the little general.

"You just need to inform the other guarding generals for me." Don't ask about the others, because she has a special source of information!
The little general knew that Jin Meiyu had a secret, so he didn't go into it, but said.

"There are garrisons in the southeast, north and west. If they are all notified, it will take at least three months." More than three months, let alone the cessation of production and the prince's seizure of power, the new emperor should have been on the throne for a long time Bar!

Jin Meiyu is not worried at all.

"You just need to go and inform me. It's better to ask them to issue me a written document, promising not to participate in the prince's fight for the throne. Bring the guarantee letter, and the food can be taken away. Oh, yes, it is necessary Those who carry food, those who bring their own people and convoys and escorts, we don’t have people here.”

It's nothing, as long as there is food, they can overcome these things!

Just a little bit.

"There are guards outside your territory, what should we do?"

The soldiers guarding outside belonged directly to the emperor, and outsiders who wanted to come in had to get the emperor's permission.

Even if the food transporters from the garrison come, they won't be able to get in.

Jin Meiyu doesn't care about this.

"It's up to you. I only pay for food, and you can figure out the rest."

After finishing speaking, Jin Meiyu didn't intend to waste any more time, and signaled the little general to leave.

Jin Meiyu believed that the generals guarding the border would definitely be able to do this kind of thing. Even if they were forced to break in for food, they would definitely do it!
The first thing to do now is to distribute the seeds of Liangguo, and then start the planting mode!
This is Jin Meiyu's fiefdom. Although this is Jin Meiyu's territory, she has no management rights. The management rights here are still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, that is, the county magistrate.

But Jin Meiyu's prestige among the people is extremely high. After all, there is no one who is still alive today who has not eaten the food that Jin Meiyu obtained!

Whether it's fish, seafood, or food imported from outside, it can be said that most of the people in the Yu Dynasty can survive because of gold and jade!
Because of this, Jin Meiyu still has a high voice in the fief, and the people are willing to listen to her, so the promotion of grain and fruit planting can be done easily.

What's more, Jin Meiyu is considered the biggest landlord in the fief.

Originally, there were many landlords here, but this is not a food shortage. The landlords have no surplus food, but Jin Meiyu has it!
This natural disaster has lasted for several years, even if the landlord's house originally had some food, it is gone now.

But Jin Meiyu had grain in hand, and when Jin Meiyu started trading with overseas businessmen, she withheld some grain and used it to exchange fields with the landlords!
