Chapter 154 The Law of Implementation
Xu Ji told Zhou Chengyu: "The promotion of new agricultural tools and new grain varieties does not have to start with the imperial court.

"Of course, it is undeniable that the effect of promotion from top to bottom is more obvious and faster.

"But now we can't go this way.

"Now that you are traveling as a prince, you can take advantage of this convenience."

Zhou Chengyu is also a smart person, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Aunt Xu, I understand! My identity is an invincible weapon!
"Everywhere I go, I can use my identity to call local officials and talk about my opinions. It is best to invite them to taste new grains and use new farm tools.

"As an ignorant and powerless prince, I am naturally not qualified to order them to do anything, but if this kind of thing is done in full view, they will have to do it according to my ideas.

"Once the common people make profits, they will not worry about their political achievements, and they will naturally work harder in the future.

"If those officials truly love the people like their own sons, they will do their best even if I don't say anything."

Xu Ji nodded, "Exactly."

Zhou Chengyu hit the snake with the stick: "Auntie, some of the staff I brought are good at painting, why don't we ask them to draw out the production method of the new-style farm tools, and find craftsmen to make them.

"In the early stage, there must be no money. I am willing to use my monthly money to pay for the initial expenses."

Xu Ji looked at him sideways: "How much monthly money can you have? You are away from home, and the monthly money can still be paid in full?"

Zhou Chengyu blushed and was speechless.Since he came out, all his expenses were paid by Song Qingzhai.

After a while, he said: "Then, I will write a letter to the queen mother and ask the queen mother to find a way to raise a sum of money. The queen mother has many ways, and she can always do it."

Xu Ji expressed his approval, "Take a walk around the surrounding cities first. I can provide you with some farm tools in the early stage, but don't expect big numbers. I don't have any more here."

"Yes, yes, yes," Zhou Chengyu was overjoyed, "We would be very grateful to have a few samples!
"Looking for craftsmen, raising materials, etc., my nephew will find someone to do it, so I won't bother my aunt."

Xu Ji twitched the corners of his lips, "Okay, you go."

Seeing the young man running away excitedly, Song Qingzhai walked over and sighed softly: "Although you have a passion, you will inevitably run into walls everywhere."

Xu Ji glanced at him, "Do you feel distressed?"

"No," Song Qingzhai smiled slightly, "This is exactly what is essential on the road to growth. If he gets more and more courageous after setbacks, he will have a lot to do in the future."

Xu Ji was puzzled by one more thing: "Why didn't you tell the people here about the food in advance."

"So what if you say it," Song Qingzhai said lightly, "I have worked with them for many years, and I can't be more clear about what kind of people they are and how they think about problems.

"If I don't reprimand you face to face, they won't take it to heart.

"I just didn't expect that Luo Hongzhang also...

"Among the generals at the frontier, he is the most mature and prudent one. Since I have instructed him carefully, he will do it properly."

"Then the eldest brother is not a trustee," Xu Ji shook his head, "It is precisely because of his maturity and prudence that General Luo made such an arrangement."

All the generals know that Song Qingzhai is very rational most of the time, but when it comes to Xu Ji's matter, he may be unreasonable.

What's more, Xu Ji is still their old acquaintance, the old impression is really deep-rooted.

"Don't bear with being wronged," Song Qingzhai urged, "This is my territory, there is no reason for you to be here and still begging for perfection."

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Am I the kind of person who is willing to suffer?"

Song Qingzhai was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
