Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Chapter 163 Money kills people (1)

Day by day, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Entering November, the sky seemed to be shrouded in boundless snow. In Xiaohua's impression, it seemed that she had never seen snow outside in the past few days. But it was cold and she didn't go out of the palace all day long, so she didn't have time to pay attention to whether the snow had stopped.

During this period, King Jing went out of the mansion again. After King Jing left, Xiaohua learned from the chats of the two eunuchs serving in the palace that it turned out that King Jing was out of the mansion this time because there was a place under the rule. It was too big, and there was a snowstorm, which seemed a bit serious. King Jing went to see the situation in person.

Because of this, Xiaohua came to the conclusion that King Jing is a good feudal lord.

Xiaohua has never seen what kind of snow disaster is like.

After she was sold as a child, she wandered around as a girl in various households, and she couldn't understand the seriousness of the 'disaster'. I have seen floods when I was a child, but the impression is too far away. In my memory, except for the faces of my parents and my young brother, there are only crying everywhere.

When Xiao Hua came to the conclusion that King Jing is a good feudal lord, King Jing was riding a horse outside in the snow at this time, and the guards of the palace suggested that he take a carriage. But he felt that the speed of the carriage was too slow, so he abandoned the carriage and rode.

Jingzhou has always been a place of bitter cold. The so-called bitter cold means that the common people are not rich because of poor agriculture. The cold means that Jingzhou is located in the north and has always been cold. In winter, it is cold and snowy.

Because this fief is very barren, the Holy Majesty is also very generous today. The area of ​​Jingzhou is the largest fief among several feudal lords.

The so-called vast land is nothing more than that.

In fact, King Jing didn't come here this time. It doesn't make sense for a prince to come and see in person if there is a snowstorm in a small county town. However, King Jing has always been serious in his work. In his previous life, he did not manage his fief carefully, and the fief has always been very poor. When I came back to this life, I spent a lot of thought on my fief.

Farming was not good enough, so he specially recruited an agricultural talent, and promoted many suitable crops according to Jingzhou's geographical environment, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops newly introduced from Fanbang. Almost no one died of starvation.

If the business was not working, he sent his people to do business in other rich state capitals, and even sold the special products of his rule, such as fur ginseng and other good things, outside, and then imported things from other places.

King Jing thought very simply, if he couldn't manage his own fief well, how could he say he could change his own destiny?

Over the past few years, the effect has been good. Not only has the tax money collected under the rule increased, King Jing's personal pockets are also very sufficient.

And he came here out of deterrence, telling the officials under his rule not to try to rule the people harshly under his nose. He didn't have to do anything, he only needed to run back and forth, and it took a few days. The result in exchange was that the people below wouldn't die of freezing or starving if they didn't dare to ignore it. King Jing thought it was a good deal.

King Jing's ideas have always been different from others, but no matter what, at least the people under his rule live a good life. In recent years, many people have said that His Royal Highness King Jing is a good vassal.

It wasn't snowing heavily when we went out, but when we were halfway down the road, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind was so strong that we couldn't see the road ahead clearly.

A guard wearing a ceremonial bodyguard and a black-faced scarlet cloak approached King Jing's horse.

Your Highness, there is a village near here. Let's go there to avoid the snow first. The snow is too heavy. As soon as the guard opened his mouth, he was slapped with snow foam.
