Wind rises time and space gate

Du Zhishu's heart was pounding. He was from a poor family, had no family, no way out, and was a low-key person. The king of Yue came to him on the first day he came. I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

His little arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he might be used as a stepping stone for others.

He felt bitter in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "His Majesty, this official is indeed from Lizhou."

Thinking of the fact that the King of Yue had donated food to the disaster-stricken areas along the state, he bowed again and said, "I am grateful to the prince for his righteousness, and I would like to express my deep gratitude to the prince on behalf of my father and fellow villagers."

Zhao Guangyuan looked at him coldly, thinking about the information he had found. A second-class Jinshi should have been devolved to a county to serve as a parent official. No matter how mediocre he was, he would not end up with only a seventh-grade scholar in eight years.

Considering his eight years of experience, he has done his duty well. The family only has a wife, a pair of children and a few servants, and the background is simple. He also thought about the information obtained by the secret guards and knew that he was very dedicated to his relatives in his hometown.

Then he said: "I am worried about the livelihood of the people along the state this winter. I have found some vegetable seeds and plan to let them plant them in the autumn. But I don't have anyone reliable to persuade them."

Du Zhishu was stunned, "Your Majesty wants the people along the state to grow vegetables this winter?"

Seeing the King of Yue nodding, he was a little puzzled, "Yanzhou suffered a disaster this summer, and the disaster relief money issued by the imperial court may not be enough to support the beginning of spring. It would be good if there is output in the land, but if the land suffers a disaster, I'm afraid it won't be so good." There is a lot of fertility, and vegetables cannot be eaten as food..."

If the people want to eat some vegetables, it is enough to open a piece of land in front of their house and behind their house, and grow some for their own consumption. You won't get much money from selling it, and the price is so low that it doesn't cover the cost of selling it all the way.

When villagers want to sell vegetables, they have to walk a long way to get to the market, carrying the food on their shoulders. Not a good deal.

The prince's intentions are good and he still cares about the people affected by the disaster. He is much better than the ordinary ministers in the court and other princes who can only talk but not do anything. However, growing vegetables may not solve the plight of the victims.

Because he wanted to rely on him, a local, to persuade the local people, Zhao Guangyuan did not hide it from him, "I found a few vegetable varieties. Not to mention the local area, it is difficult to find even in Daqi. The cycle is short and the yield is high, so there is no need to worry about hard work. There has been no progress yet.”

Talking to Du Zhishu about his plans...

"First, you can rent the land to me, and you can get some money. Second, you can rent your land to me, and you can also lease your own land back, and you can get another salary. Both of them don't need to worry about the produce of the land. The third is not to rent or share the crops, but to borrow vegetable seeds from me, sow and harvest them yourself. When the harvest is harvested, sell it back to me, and I will send someone to buy it. You can get a share of the vegetable money, so you don’t have to worry about selling it."

Du Zhishu was stunned when he heard this. This was rent money, wages, and money from selling vegetables. There was no need to pay for seeds, and there was no need to worry about the vegetables not being sold at low prices. Those who were not optimistic about the harvest could also choose to rent the land to the King of Yue. Ignore everything and just go out to find casual work to make money.

Is this equivalent to a business without capital?

Then the people in Yanzhou will be able to survive this winter!

With excitement in his heart, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is so righteous! I would like to thank you for your help in saving my life for the people of Yanzhou!"

"No need to be polite. It's just that the capital is far away from Yanzhou Road, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to implement. I heard that you won the Jinshi title back then, and it was your local area that had won it for decades and became famous all over the world. I intend to borrow your name and ask for your help. Lobby one or two.”

Du Zhishu was excited, and he didn't care that the prince had found out his background clearly, so he immediately agreed.

"Having gained the prince's trust, the official is determined to accomplish this matter. Moreover, the official is in the Agricultural Department. It is the official's responsibility to encourage the farmers to cultivate mulberry trees and help the famine-stricken people resume farming. I will fully support the prince."

Du Zhishu was from Lizhou, but his maternal grandfather's family and his father-in-law's family were both from Yanzhou. His father-in-law opened a private school in Yanzhou and taught him a Jinshi. He became famous in nearby counties and counties and accepted more and more students. He asked his family and his in-laws to help lobby, and most of the matter would be successful.

Zhao Guangyuan also found out about his family situation. When he was young, he went to Yanzhou to study, and he joined his father-in-law's name. Although he refused, he returned to his hometown and married his father-in-law's daughter, not forgetting the small kindness he had received.

He is a person who has a bottom line and understands kindness and understanding. It works.

Seeing that he was willing to take over the task, Zhao Guangyuan was half relieved. "Then I will entrust this matter to you. I hope you will do your best."

"Yes, my lord, don't worry. This is a blessing for my life. I will tell my family the important points and ask them to help convince the villagers to complete this matter for my lord."

After Du Zhishu resigned, he immediately revised the book and sent it to his family and his father-in-law. This is a matter of great benefit and no harm. Presumably the folks in Yanzhou will follow suit to grow vegetables, get income from the King of Yue, and buy some rice to survive this winter.

The King of Yue actually did something practical. Du Zhishu's favorable impression of the King of Yue skyrocketed.

Lord Si Nongqing and Lord Yao soon learned of the move of the King of Yue, and came to inquire about it personally. He also sighed that this move was a great good, and immediately wrote several letters and sent them to the officials of Yanzhou and surrounding prefectures and counties, in the name of Si Nongqing. With his identity, he asked the county to cooperate with the prince to help the victims survive this winter.

Two days later, the Minister of Industry also knew the news and sent someone to call Yao Yongyi.

"The King of Yue's move was a personal request. How can you, as the minister of the imperial court, ask the counties along the state to cooperate?"

Shi Miao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, felt that this was ridiculous and that he was seeking personal gain from public affairs. He scolded him for fawning over the king of Yue and scolded Yao Yongyi.

"Don't you know that land is the basis for people's survival? How dare you personally order them to rent out the land! If there is no output from the land, how will the people live?"

Yao Yongyi was still as before, lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes in front of Lord Shangshu. Anyway, Si Nongsi was useless in the eyes of the Lord. He couldn't help the Ministry of Works, but he still held them back and wished they could be abolished.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development doesn’t want it, and the Ministry of Industry doesn’t want it either. I wonder if the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War want to accept them. Anyway, the border guard stations of the Ministry of War also have to stock up on land. I guess the fashion books are planning to send them to Jiubian to stock up on land.

It's better to be out of sight.

Yao Yongyi knew that the other party was just following the wind and rain again. After listening to his training, he patiently explained.

But Shi Miao couldn't listen. He only felt that he was bewitched by the King of Yue. How could he let the people give away the land in their hands? Or should it be handed over to the king of Yue? The king of Yue wants so much land. What is he doing?

I didn't dare to express the terrible thought in my heart.

Shi Miao scolded Yao Yongyi so loudly that everyone on duty at the Ministry of Works heard it and started talking behind his back.

He also recruited Zhao Guangyuan from next door.

"Master Shi, do you have any objections to my king's arrangements?"

Shi Miao was disdainful and felt that these princes and grandsons were either full of schemes and plans, or they were just idiots who did not understand the fireworks of the world.

"I don't dare to disagree. I just hope that the prince knows that the land is the source of life for the people. I am afraid that the prince's move will cause gossip. I also do it for the prince's good."
