Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Under the leadership of Wang Tianjiang, Ning Fan and his party came to the Yuezhou Yamen. The Yuezhou Yamen looked shabby, but it was clean and tidy. Only after entering the Yamen did Ning Fan know that there was a cave inside.

"I heard that you guys in Yuezhou have saved a lot of money in the past two years and paid a lot of taxes and fees to the imperial household department, but why don't you spend some money to repair the Yamen?"

Ning Fan looked at Wang Tianjiang strangely. This large Yamen in Yuezhou looked as shabby as a small ruined temple.

"Your Majesty, this Yamen represents the imperial court and the face of the country. It would be good to repair it, but I feel that the current Yamen can still be used and will not bring shame to the imperial court."

Wang Tianjiang is quite convincing.

Ning Fan rested for a night in the middle of the month and was full of energy early the next morning. He asked Wang Tianjiang to accompany him to inspect Yuezhou's breeding industry.

There are hundreds of millions of ducks raised in Yuezhou, and Yuezhou's special salted duck eggs are famous throughout the country. The duck egg oil is yellow and fragrant, making it unforgettable to eat, especially the noodles mixed with duck egg yolk. Ning Fan was in the palace Have eaten here several times.

"There is also a trick to pickling duck eggs. You can't pickle egg oil with duck eggs from other places, but you can easily pickle egg oil with duck eggs from our Yuezhou."

There is no fertile farmland in Yuezhou, all of which are swamps. These swamps are occupied by waist-high water all year round, and tens of thousands of ducks line up densely on the water.

Ning Fan couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw these ducks fighting back and forth on the water, chasing and playing, and grabbing food. This was simply a natural breeding area.

"The duck excrement produced by these ducks can provide good feed for fish. Of course, the fish do not eat the duck excrement directly, but the duck excrement nourishes the water, causing the water to produce more floating insects, which makes the water more fertile. The fish are also eaten, they grow fatter and the meat is more tender.”

Wang Tianjiang explained the farming techniques to Ning Fan in a very clear and logical manner, and Ning Fan was even more fascinated.

"How come a dignified fifth-grade official knows so much about raising ducks? Have you ever raised ducks yourself? As far as I know, you come from a scholarly and wealthy family. You have never had this kind of food." Is it bitter?”

Ning Fan squinted at Wang Tianjiang. After these two days of contact, Ning Fan admired Wang Tianjiang even more.

Wang Tianjiang has a completely different personality from Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun has the character of a standard intellectual elite.

Zhou Qun always mentioned the ancient saints when he spoke, but Wang Tianjiang was different. He was very down-to-earth. If he rolled up his trouser legs, he would be no different from an old farmer in the field. Moreover, Wang Tianjiang has no airs, nor does he pretend to be superior to others, nor does he appear to be aloof. This is the reason why Ning Fan likes Wang Tianjiang.

"I actually raised ducks for seven months. At that time, in order to promote duck raising in Yuezhou, I took the lead in raising ducks here. Later, I made money by laying duck eggs, and the fellow villagers were willing to follow suit."

Wang Tianjiang was quite emotional when he talked about the past.

Not only can ducks, lotus roots and fish be raised in these swamps, but these ducks can also accumulate a large amount of duck dung, which can be used as good fertilizer after drying and decomposition.

After Wang Tianjiang's operation in Yuezhou in the past few years, the huge Yuezhou has completely lifted off poverty and become rich according to local conditions. The people of Yuezhou have small courtyards in every home and live a very prosperous life.

"You did a good job in Yuezhou, but if I sent you to other places, could you do better?"

Ning Fan saw Wang Tianjiang.

Wang Tianjiang's eyes flashed, he looked at Ning Fan solemnly and said: "Yuezhou has developed very well. It is no longer useful for me to stay in Yuezhou. If your Majesty is willing to transfer me to other places, I will definitely do it." It will continue to shine.”

Wang Tianjiang has a strong personality, that is, he is not afraid of difficulties and is dedicated to taking on difficulties. Ning Fan likes this kind of person the most.

"Do you know that we are at war with the Rakshasa people in the north?"

Ning Fan looked at Wang Tianjiang with a smile. In fact, the court did not publicize the war between Dakang and the Rakshasa people. In fact, not many people knew about this war.

In this era of limited information, the main source of information for ordinary people is newspapers from the imperial court!

Not mentioned in the newspapers, even officials from various places rarely knew that Dakang was currently at war with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north.

"I've heard about it, and I heard it's going pretty smoothly!"

When the war in the north was mentioned, Wang Tianjiang's eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's not an ordinary success. Now we have successfully acquired seven million square kilometers of land, and two million square kilometers of it are plain areas, and they are black soil, which is most suitable for agricultural cultivation."

Ning Fan Xiao revealed a piece of news to Wang Tianjiang. After Wang Tianjiang heard the news, his body was shaking with shock.

"If your Majesty can bring a large area of ​​land into our Dakang territory, then your Majesty will definitely become a wise king who will go down in history."

Wang Tianjiang looked at Ning Fan with excitement.

"The Rakshasa people are nothing to worry about. What really gives me a headache in Dakang is the English people. You know the English people? They are the overlords of the sea. They are far to the west and are separated from our Dakang people. It’s tens of thousands of miles away, but their power can reach us.”

Ning Fan's teeth itch with hatred when he mentions Yingji. He originally wanted to kick Dakang into the Age of Discovery, but it was because of the Ying'an people's obstruction that Ning Fan had to start all over again.

If Dakang successfully enters the Age of Discovery, there will be no need to build a Silk Road on the road.

"I don't know much about this aspect. I just heard that Dakang's fleet had a war with a foreign country and suffered heavy losses."

Wang Tianjiang had an indignant expression on his face. It was obvious that he must know a lot about this naval battle, but considering Ning Fan's face, he could only say that he didn't know much.

"Get ready. I plan to send you to the north, to the uncultivated land there. I want to hand over all seven million square kilometers to you."

Ning Fan saw Wang Tianjiang and felt that this man was someone who could take on a big responsibility.

As the saying goes, don't use people you doubt and don't doubt people you employ. Ning Fan's appreciation for Wang Tianjiang is written on his face. This person is a down-to-earth and hard-working person.

If Wang Tianjiang is sent to the north, Ning Fan believes that the north will definitely develop.

"Your Majesty, although the north is a treasure house of resources and has thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, what the north lacks is people. Without people, it would be a blank, barren land..."

Wang Tianjiang also had some difficulties at this time, because this was really a difficult problem.
