"You're tired, let's have a cup of tea and take it easy." Looking at Princess Duan Yu who looked tired, he simply poured her a cup of tea mixed with some spiritual spring water.

He had been going to the mountains and countryside some time ago, and had not returned home for more than two months in a row. He had left all the family matters to her alone. To be honest, Jian Jian still felt a little guilty and distressed.

He has also been a woman, so he naturally knows what it's like to take care of the little things at home alone when his husband is not at home in a place he is unfamiliar with.

"Thank you, husband."

Princess Duan Yu took the tea cup and smiled at Jian Yi, feeling a burst of sweetness in her heart.

Compared with her cousin's consorts, although her husband's family background is not as good as theirs, her husband is a thousand or ten thousand times better than those consorts.

They have been married for more than half a year, and her husband has never been messy outside. He is also extremely gentle and understanding to her at home, and he has never been rude to the dowry girls around his wife like others. In short, thinking of her husband's kindness, Duan Yu

The princess felt as sweet as honey in her heart.

The young couple chatted for a while and then went to bed. There was still a tough battle to be fought for a while.

Since the money had been raised, Jian Jian came together the next day, dressed up, and after breakfast, he recruited his staff.

"This road construction is a big project, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to. I hope everyone can cheer up and work hard to develop Yunzhou and raise taxes."

As he said that, he glanced briefly at the staff, who had become much more prosperous since arriving in Yunzhou, and said, "When the matter is settled, I will never forget your efforts and efforts."

The staff below looked moved and said simply: "Of course, if I find someone doing something small, I won't be polite to you."

Having said the benefits, we should keep their skin tight to prevent them from being spoiled by this group of people in Yunzhou.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were more focused, Jian Jian discussed the next details with them, and then drafted many documents that were beneficial to the county and villages.

After the matter was discussed, Jian Yan went to the Yamen with the documents, went to work at midnight, summoned the Yamen servants, and ordered people to distribute the documents he had drawn up.

Yunzhou is surrounded by mountains, with mountains and rivers, and beautiful scenery. It is a very livable place, and there are many villages that live on the mountains.

The mountain people in the village rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat, and they have many rare mountain products in their hands.

In the past, because the mountain roads from the village to the town were rugged and difficult to walk, and the official roads from the town to the county seat, and from the county seat to the capital city were not smooth and easy to walk, the mountain people wanted to sell the good things in their hands, so they had to pay a lot of money.

The energy.

No matter how strong a man is, if he wants to go down the mountain to the town, it will take him a long time.

We went down the mountain at dawn, and when we reached the town, it was almost dusk and it was impossible to turn back, so we had to spend money to sleep in the town for one night.

And they go all the way down the mountain in order to sell mountain products at a good price, but they will be pushed to extremely low prices by unscrupulous merchants who collude with them.

In the end, Baal worked hard for a day or two, and the money he earned from selling mountain products, excluding accommodation fees and food expenses in the town, was not much. As time went by, fewer and fewer mountain people came down the mountain unless necessary.

And all the mountain goods in their hands were taken away by the pickers sent by the wealthy households at extremely low prices.

Therefore, Jian Jian thinks Xu Weiren is right. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads.

When his road construction move touched the interests of some people, he couldn't help but take action on the road construction project; when he solved some people, he took the opportunity to implement the policy of increasing commercial taxes that he had mentioned to the emperor before; and then he recruited people from other places.

Some caravans coming to resell goods will inject fresh blood into Yunzhou; wait until the mountain people can get out of the mountains and come into contact with the larger world.

Thinking of this, Jian Yan couldn't help but feel hot in her heart.

Suddenly, Jian Yi suddenly had an idea and remembered the terraced fields that he had never thought of before.

In later generations, there were terraces in many places around the world, which were distributed in layers along the steep hillsides, just like ladders to the sky.

Yunzhou has many mountains, a lot of rain, fertile land, good lighting conditions, many people, a wide forest area, and many wild products, but there is not much land that can be used for farming.

Therefore, most of the people here in Yunzhou live on mountain products. They don't eat much of the food they grow. Instead, they sell it all and exchange it for money to subsidize their families.

In Yunzhou, only wealthy households and officials eat rice.

Now the road is being built. If we can build terraces, more land can be cultivated, and the food production increases, then the people of Yunzhou will be able to eat rice and live a better life.

, if the people are well fed, clothed and well-lived, then Yunzhou’s tax revenue will also increase.

With this written, I took out the Four Treasures of the Study and recalled the specific memories of the hills in each village in my sea of ​​consciousness. Based on the different hills, the size of the hill slopes, and the thickness of the coating, I bowed my head and drew several terraced fields.

Structure diagram.

Then the corresponding engineering drawings of supporting facilities such as windmills, water storage systems, etc. were also drawn.

One person planned the shortcomings, and three people planned the long-term planning. After drawing the drawings, Jianjiang recruited all the staff who were free now, distributed the drawings one by one, and told them what the terraced fields were and what his plans were.

After the plan was arranged, several people discussed the matter again, and then distributed the simple matter of the terraces.

After the staff took the drawings and went to complete the errands, Jian Yi started writing secret notes again and reported the matter to the emperor.

The emperor was very excited after reading Jian Yi's letter. He did not expect that Jian Yi could give him such a big surprise, let alone that Jian Yi had such talent and such ideas.

Although he originally thought that Jian Yi was talented and capable of doing practical things, of course he had this idea after Jian Yi went to Yunzhou and applied for a job, but he still didn't expect that boy to have such a skill.

Taking a deep breath and holding back the heat in his heart, the emperor first wrote a letter praising Jian Jian, and then said that he would use Yunzhou as an adaptation point for terraced fields. When the results are achieved, he will

If he promotes it nationwide, he will be rewarded well.

Then the emperor sent several close eunuchs to Yunzhou with the letter to go and see the terraced fields for the emperor.

By the time Jian Jian received the emperor's letter and the few chamberlains, the Chinese New Year was approaching.

At this time, the mountain roads from villages and towns in Yunzhou have come to an end, and they are waiting to repair the official roads from towns to counties and from county towns to prefectures in the next year.

On the other side of the terraces, some villages also followed simple instructions to cut down trees, remove grass, set up irrigation and drainage systems, plow the land deeply, dry the soil, divide the fields for farming, and dig out the needs for planting rice.

of pond.

Since money has been collected from officials and gentry in Yunzhou, the simple recipe for making glass was naturally handed over to the local boss, the chief of the Yi tribe, early on, and he was responsible for coordinating the production and sales.

Just wait for the payment every month.
