On the way, Murong Yuan ordered Murong Hao beside him.

"In the future, you can give Li Chen's two daughters and his queen the title of County Lord, and arrange a good marriage for them. After all, they are of the blood of our royal family."

"Yes, Father, I have recorded it." Murong Hao responded respectfully.

"As for your imperial brother, let this be the case for now. He will always have to pay for his mistakes." Murong Yuan would not let Li Chen return to the capital. After all, he was guilty. In order not to affect Haoer, Li Chen could not return to the capital.

"My dear, I understand." Murong Hao responded respectfully.

……

In the next few days, Murong Yuan and Murong Hao kept private visits to Jinwei City incognito to see what the folk customs were like in Jinwei City.

It was rare that he brought his son out of the capital this time. This son had the least education when he was a child, but he was also the best. He rarely had free time these days. He wanted to get along well with him, teach him how to govern the country and bring peace to the country, and teach him what he can do. Everything I gave my son was taught to him during private visits.

The father and son went out for a private visit, and Lin Yunxi was not idle either. She also had her own things to do.

She promised Li Mai that she would go to Yuncang Mountain to see him and his brothers.

Recently, Li Mai commutes to Yuncang Mountain every day to work in the city. Today he received news from the Crown Princess that he did not go to the city and was waiting on Yuncang Mountain.

Early in the morning, Lin Yunxi set off in a carriage under the escort of secret guards, and arrived at Yuncang Mountain in two sticks of incense.

It was the first time she went to Yuncang Mountain. When she heard the name Yuncang Mountain, she thought the mountain got its name because it could reach into the sea of ​​clouds. When she arrived, she discovered that the mountain was not high at all. It was a hillside with an altitude of only one or two hundred meters. Continuous mountains.

She was full of doubts, who named Yuncang Mountain? It could really mislead the world.

"My subordinates have met the Crown Princess." Li Mai was filled with joy when he saw the Crown Princess coming and saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, is this your cottage?" Lin Yunxi looked around Li Mai's cottage.

It's really not as good as her Qingshan Village. Qingshan Village is still like a paradise. The old village owner at that time found Qingshan Village somehow. When she first crossed over, Qingshan Village was already good, but the houses were simpler.

Now Li Mai's village is on a hillside, surrounded by wooden fences. There are several rows of thatched houses and some stone houses. The sound of wild boars can be heard inside, so it is probably a place where livestock is raised.

"Back to the Crown Princess, yes, all the brothers have gone to work in the salt field. The remaining dozen brothers failed the physical examination and failed to enter the salt field. Now they are still taking care of some wild boars we brought in the village. Let's see how many of them They have nothing to do, so I let them do this first." Li Mai seriously explained why the village was empty now.

"The brothers you introduced are hard-working and hard-working in the salt fields, which is good." Lin Yunxi said as she looked carefully at the cottage. It covers a large area. She wanted to see what areas could be used.

"They are all brothers who have worked hard for a long time. Now that they have work to do, they will naturally work very hard."

Li Mai felt happy when he thought that those brothers now had work to do, had money to earn, had enough food and clothing, and no longer had to suffer along with him.

"Do you know who owns the land in this cottage?" Lin Yunxi looked at the land in the cottage and found that the soil here was particularly fertile. It would be a good idea to use it a little to grow some crops.

"Prince Princess, no one would buy this kind of place, especially in mountainous areas. It's all deserted mountains. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived here for several years without being evicted." Li Mai said with a smile.

"How many mountains have you occupied?" Lin Yunxi studied the soil on his hands and continued to ask.

"The Crown Princess wants her subordinates to occupy as many seats as they want. The subordinates can occupy as many seats as they want. Yuncang Mountain is a mountain range. I think there are hundreds of hills like this." Li Mai himself didn't know how many mountains there were in Yuncang Mountain. A small hillside.

"Tiansi, go check to see if anyone has bought this mountain range. If not, come back and report it to me quickly." Lin Yunxi had another idea of ​​making money in his mind.

"Yes." Tiansi accepted the order and retreated.

"Princess, what do you want to do?" Li Mai asked curiously.

"Li Mai, what kind of oil do the people of Jinwei City usually eat?" Lin Yunxi asked.

"I know that people usually eat lard and mutton oil, but they don't have oil to eat every day. They only tighten their belts to buy oil during the New Year and festivals." Li Mai was close to the people. He knew that people usually used these two oils. Plant oil.

"No vegetable oil?" Lin Yunxi has always been a popular and spicy drinker in the capital. She seems to have always eaten vegetable oil, and she didn't pay much attention to this detail.

"Princess, you are a person of high status who can afford to eat vegetable oil. I heard that high-ranking officials have sesame oil and vegetable oil to eat. The price of vegetable oil is so high that ordinary people can't afford it. Some people have never even seen it, and my subordinates can't afford it." I've seen it before." Li Mai answered truthfully.

Lin Yunxi smiled when she heard the answer. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. This oil is one of the sources of energy. She has decided on this business.

"Li Mai, I want to make cheap vegetable oil available to the people. Do you want to work with me?"

Lin Yunxi looked at the big man in front of her, and she knew he would be willing. He had worked very hard in the past few months, and he thought he was heading for a good life.

"Princess, are you telling the truth? Can ordinary people like us really eat vegetable oil?" Li Mai said in disbelief.

But when he thought that the Crown Princess could make salt, he wiped away any doubts in his mind. The Crown Princess was not an ordinary woman. She said she could do it naturally.

The two looked around the cottage. Lin Yunxi went to the kitchen of Li Mai's brothers and saw them cooking lunch.

I don't know where they got the bird eggs and made a simple egg drop soup. There were also some wild vegetables and mushrooms that she didn't know. They were boiled in water. The oil was just a little bit of lard on the side. .

Lin Yunxi frowned and asked Li Mai.

"Brothers, don't you eat meat? Just eat this for one day? Aren't you hungry with clear soup and little water? I see there are wild boars in the pig pen? Why don't you kill them to eat?" Lin Yunxi asked several questions at once.

Li Mai scratched his head and said sarcastically:

"Back to the Crown Princess, the brothers are reluctant to kill those wild boars. They want to save them for the festival. They can usually handle one meal."

"The wild boar can be hunted again, or it can be raised to give birth to cubs and kept for festivals? How many festivals are there in a year? Only when you eat well can you have the strength to work, right? You, the boss, need to change your thinking. You can't save everything. If your brothers and you live a hard life like this, they will never follow you in the future."

Lin Yunxi wants to change Li Mai's thinking. If you want to do big things, you should not treat your own people arbitrarily, but be more generous, so that more people will be willing to rely on him in the future.

Li Mai nodded after listening to Lin Yunxi's words.

"Princess, Li Mai knows this. Let these dozen brothers kill a pig tonight and have a good meal of meat."

"That's pretty much it."

While the two were talking, Tiansi came back.

"Back to the Crown Princess, no one has bought the land in Yuncang Mountain. When my subordinates went to ask Magistrate Li, Magistrate Li was shocked and asked how could anyone buy the land in the mountain?"

Lin Yunxi now understood that in ancient times, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and flat land was valuable while mountainous land was worthless. Since no one wanted it, she could save a lot of money.
