Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 116
Seeing Xiao Yilin's anger, Jing Yi persuaded: "You don't need to be too angry, there are not many moths. If you really want to go to Jiangzhou Prefecture, if you want to see the real situation, I'm afraid we will go to Jiangzhou Prefecture with such a big fanfare. No. It's too passive if people know you're going to get ready to fool you. Let's put on a disguise.

Let's go separately from the guards, don't get together.In this way, we may be able to see the most real situation by quietly going to Jiangzhou Mansion.When you get the evidence, those corrupt officials will not be able to refute it, and you can also deal with them with reason and evidence. "

Xiao Yilin also thinks that the little girl's method is good, it can save time and effort, and save a lot of time arguing with those moths.

"Then after the person escorting the winter wheat leaves, we will disguise ourselves and divide into several teams to sneak into Jiangzhou Mansion to see the situation."

Jing Yi thought of Xiao Yilin's sensitive identity and said, "But as a prince, do you have the right to deal with the highest official of a state capital?"

Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "When I left the capital, my father gave me a decree that I can do things cheaply outside. My father gave me the right to deal with local officials."

Jing Yi was relieved now, "The emperor really thinks highly of you."

Jing Yi felt that the emperor of Jin State was really good to Xiao Yilin, not only did not shy away from Xiao Yilin in political affairs, but also used him very much.When Xiao Yilin was still in Huizhou, the father and son often exchanged letters to discuss political affairs.

And in life, the emperor seems to care about Xiao Yilin very much.From the fact that Xiao Yilin often received letters and rewards from his father, it can be seen that the relationship between father and son is very good.

Jing Yi looked at the disaster victims outside the carriage and gave way to the victims on both sides of the road, sighed and said: "If it weren't for the hard life, these disaster victims would not leave their homes. The key is that the agricultural development is too backward, and there is no ability to resist disasters at all. .

Today's farmers mostly rely on the sky for food.Catching up with good weather is God's reward for food, and catching up with drought and flood is God's punishment.Little do they know that many natural disasters can be resisted by humans.Just like our Huizhou government vigorously promotes water trucks and builds water conservancy, at least it can resist some droughts so that the fields will not fail.At least in this way, people will not starve to death, and the common people will not leave their homes to flee famine. "

Xiao Yilin said: "It's fortunate that you created such a good thing as a waterwheel last year, otherwise our Huizhou Prefecture would also be affected by the drought."

Jing Yi said: "People's power is limited, but sometimes the power of everyone united is great. For example, to fight drought and flood prevention, digging canals and rivers can not only fight drought but also prevent floods in rainy years. The role of rivers and canals can guide and dredge water flow and avoid flooding.

Reservoirs can also be artificially built to store water in normal times and supply water in times of drought.Now the technology of drilling wells is still too poor, and the depth of drilling wells is not enough.Otherwise, even if it is dry, you can use well water to irrigate the land. "

Xiao Yilin sighed and said: "What you said is too difficult, and it is difficult to do it with manpower. But it is difficult to dig rivers, canals, and build reservoirs, but you can take it slowly. If it is not done in one year, it can be two years. If it doesn’t work in two years, it can be five, six, ten, or eight years. As long as it is beneficial to future generations, it is worth doing.”

Jing Yi nodded and said: "Indeed, if you don't do it, you will never succeed. For example, you can find a special person to design a river channel, and then each region will be responsible for its own river section. The imperial court can allocate funds to hire people to work in their spare time. Come a little bit, there will always be When it's done.

Think about it, digging a river can not only store water and divert water, but also facilitate transportation.River courses can also be waterways.Some things can be transported by water.Both cargo ships and passenger ships can travel in the river.

The imperial court that uses the river channel to make money from transportation can collect a certain percentage of taxes, or set up checkpoints in some places to collect tolls to slowly recover the cost invested by the imperial court in river channel projects.

When the court recovers the capital, it will be the court's net income from now on.In this way, the imperial court has another income, which is not a small income.

People on both sides of the river can also make more money-making livelihoods, such as fishing, ferry boats at ferry crossings, small merchants and hawkers at ports, etc. "

Xiao Yilin felt that the little girl in front of him could surprise him every time and inspire him every time.The little girl's brain is too clever, and the methods she came up with are practical and novel.The little girl's intelligence is not inferior to those important officials in the court.

Xiao Yilin grabbed Jing Yi's hand that was placed on the small table, and held it tightly, "Jing Yan, you are truly amazing, talented, and brilliant."

Jing Yi's little hand was held in Xiao Yilin's powerful big hand and he couldn't pull it out, "Brother Xiao, let go quickly, it would be bad for us two big men to be seen holding hands."

She always felt that Xiao Yilin was suspected of taking advantage of her.

Xiao Yilin held the soft and boneless little hand in his palm reluctantly, and took the opportunity to say: "No one else will see it. Jing Yan, why are your hands so small and tender, they don't look like men's hands at all."

Jing Yi was startled when she heard the words, she quickly pulled out her hands and put them behind her back, and said with a little bluff: "My hands are not like men's hands. It's just that I haven't worked since I was a child and I can support myself better."

Xiao Yilin stretched out his hand and said: "Look, my hands are almost two times bigger than yours. My hands look so strong, and there are many calluses on them. Your hands are so small, and you can touch a little calluses. Not very tender yet, not rough at all. Totally different from my hands."

Jing Yi curled her lips, "I'm not like you who have been training in the military camp for a long time. I often practice martial arts with weapons in my hands. I just tend to the herbs, so there are no cocoons. And I often wear gloves when I go to the mountains to collect herbs. .Even men should take good care of their hands, who are as rough as yours."

Xiao Yilin looked at the little girl's pursed lips unconsciously, and held back her laughter while speaking in self-defense.

This little girl doesn't know how coquettish her pouting is, just like being coquettish.

Xiao Yilin liked the intimacy that the little girl showed inadvertently very much.This shows that he has sneaked into the little girl's heart silently.

Xiao Yilin didn't take it too soon, so as not to make the little girl anxious and have to bother coaxing her.

Xiao Yilin and the others soon separated from the team escorting winter wheat.The group of them walked separately, and when they arrived at a county town, they bought some clothes worn by ordinary people in the city, disguised themselves as businessmen, scholars, book boys, porters, etc., and mixed in the crowd.

Xiao Yilin pretended to be a businessman, and Jing Yi pretended to be his servant.Gu Yu and Feng Zhi pretended to be Xiao Yilin's guards.Although the other guards assumed different identities, they were not far from Xiao Yilin.If Xiao Yilin is in danger, they can protect him at any time.
