As a lord, I was forced to farm

"How long can the salt reserves in the territory last?" Yu Feng asked suddenly after being silent for a while.

"Back to the lord, it can last for half a year."

"Suling County paid a very high price for the treaty signed with Zeyan County. I want to see if Suling County can earn the gold and silver to pay the price without the purchasing power of my Zhuoli County!" Yu Feng thought of this, Instead, he smiled, "...you go to contact other territories, we are like this..."

……

As expected by Jiang Ran and others, after the policy of salt restriction was issued, other territories quickly responded. Under the threat of oppression from Zhuoli County, except for Qingsong County and Zeyan County, other territories issued orders to prohibit merchants from visiting Suzhou. Ling town is not allowed to do business, and other Suling merchants are not allowed to do business in their territory.

In Zeyan County.

Seeing the changes in the outside world, Wen Yun laughed happily. Whether it was Zhuoli County's defeat, or Suling County's reckless behavior being backlashed, he liked to hear it.

However, the latest news brought by Gao Qi immediately froze his smile, "What? Our Zeyan sells for 99 gold dollars for a small jar in Suling??"

After realizing it, Wen Yunsheng was speechless, "...that's ridiculous, who would buy a small jar of salt for 99 gold dollars!"

He went to sell Zeyan salt for eighty silver dollars, and there were so many people who said it was too expensive.

99 gold dollars?
Just watch Su Ling stumble.

……

Suling only imposed restrictions on Suyan, but the imported Zeyan was sold normally.

Wen Yunsheng felt that 99 gold dollars per catty of table salt was too expensive, but for Jiang Ran, as long as she bought one catty of Ze salt, it was worth selling more than 9000 catties of Su Yan.

For Jiang Ran, Zeyan's audience has never been ordinary people, but dignitaries with a lot of money in their hands.

Of course, poverty limits one's vision. There is no Internet in this world, and Zeyan County, which is huddled in the most remote corner of Yunshang, is too unimaginative.

Not to mention Zeyan, this is a powerful pawn for Jiang Ran's future.

As the saying goes: If you have fifty profits, you can take risks; if you have one hundred profits, you dare to trample on all human laws.Although Zhuoli County ordered the people not to go to Suling for business, there were still some smugglers who secretly imported seafood, chocolate, paper and many other items from Suling County.

However, Zhuoli County's move did deal a severe blow to the trade at the Xinheng Port.

In this regard, the people in Suling talked a lot and were very anxious.

The fishmongers who brought in the fish from the pier this time sold the fish in sevens and eighties, but if they couldn't sell the fish to outsiders in the future, they would make a lot of less money.

Therefore, many people prayed to the county lord to change the status quo.

Lin Sha and others reported the people's demands to Jiang Ran.

"It depends on who can lose their temper first." Lin Sha said, "Thinking about the good, Zhuoli County has strength, and a lot of salt has been stockpiled in the city in advance, but other territories are different. I believe they will give in after a while. "

"What if they choose to use force if they are in a hurry?"

"Then we don't need to be afraid, and it's not certain that we won't be able to do it." Tian Jing said. At this time, he already has the cultivation base of the spirit refining realm. Of course, the cultivation base is only one of the reasons, and his confidence is mainly due to the county lord The existence of the police stele and Mrs. He and others revealed to him.

At the end of the court meeting, Jiang Ran was unhurried in the face of the external situation, but in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, Jiang Ran thought about it and decided to take Lin Sha and Wu Yun to the Xinheng Trade Port.

The sky was leaden gray, and the slanting drizzle fell, moistening the lush vegetation.

There were no people on the road, only dense tree shadows fell on the muddy concrete floor, a carriage ran over, and mottled mud spots stained the wheels.

Jiang Ran was extremely uncomfortable sitting in the carriage. In fact, if it wasn't for the rain, she would not have taken the carriage at all but rode away.

Although Jiang Ran once complained in his heart that the roads in Zeyan County were rough and bad, in fact, his own territory was not much better.In addition to the wide avenue built in Suling Town, the traffic in Xinheng, Fenghuang and other towns is extremely congested, especially the main town is separated from the other three towns by mountains, and the roads are not connected, which is even more inconvenient.

Jiang Ran also wants to build roads as soon as possible, but the city wall needs a lot of manpower. Originally, he wanted to hire young adults from other territories to build the city and free up manpower to build roads. Su Ling carried out the "banning", and her plan came to nothing.

"Is it time for spring plowing?" Passing by Tianxi Village, Jiang Ran raised the curtain and saw a farmer wearing a coir raincoat, hoeing the ground under the drizzle, squinting his eyes and smelling Lin Sha, Wu Yun and others who were also in the carriage .

Wu Yun also took a look. Agriculture is also under his control, so he is quite clear, "Yes, according to Li Nongsi, the crops in our territory have increased a lot this year."

It was mid-March at this time, and Jiang Ran was so concerned about the rising temperature that it would be a good time to make salt, but she forgot that March is also the time when everything recovers, and it is the time for busy farming.

At this time, we must not mention the current crop distribution pattern in Suling County.

It is closely related to the scope of activities of the demon spirits and the history of planting. In the main town of Suling, the main food crops are red crystal wheat and wheat, and the main economic crops are cocoa fruit trees, Yunze mother mulberry, ice ganoderma, bamboo shoots, and cattail herbs.

From now on, Zhenyuan will develop into a horse grazing land, and potatoes and alfalfa will be planted in the territory.

In the past, Fenghuang Town ruled by Yan Xi relied heavily on Zhenyuan Town to provide it with potatoes, but Jiang Ran now encourages the residents of Fenghuang Town to actively cultivate and grow food crops by themselves, at least to be self-sufficient.In addition, there are the most fire monks in Fenghuang Town. Influenced by the fire lotus seeds, Jiang Ran also transferred the fire scale tree and fire candle flower demon spirit to Fenghuang Town. It is expected that within five years, Fenghuang Town will become the home of fire monks. Heaven.

Finally, Fenghuang Town is also a center for the cultivation of rapeseed.

The land area of ​​Xinheng is very large, with a lot of free land, and the soil there is actually quite fertile, suitable for the growth of most crops.In addition, there are many women in Xinheng Town. Jiang Ran intends to make Xinheng Town a textile center, so she encourages the locals to plant three pigmented plants: madder, yellow gardenia, and indigo, and also makes these three kinds of demon spirits He was transferred to Xinheng Town and handed over to the small farmer in Xinheng Town to take care of him.

In addition, Xinheng Town also mainly grows thousand machine grass, corn, wormwood and so on.

Right now, the carriage staggered and entered Xinheng Town, and finally it was not so bumpy.Soon, a group of people got off the carriage, the maid Lianxiang was holding an umbrella, the guards and the dedicated officials were full of hearts, Jiang Ran walked slowly and walked to the trading entrance, the largest restaurant in Hengshui Street - "Cang Gui" Building".

Although Cangguilou is the largest restaurant in Xinheng Town, it is actually not very big, and it is far from the grandeur of Tianyun Restaurant that Jiang Ran was invited by Qi Yu, but Cangguilou can be located in a small county-level territory. It is already very impressive to build a three-story building and still have no empty seats.
