Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

Yuntang's fiefdom is in the area from the southwest to the west, which is considered to be the place with the worst geographical environment between the south and the west, with many mountains and rivers, and the official roads are not convenient to access.

This is certainly not the case that Xiao Beichen intentionally gave the poorest place to Yuntang. It may seem glamorous, but in reality it is of no benefit and is all just empty talk.

But it was because Yuntang was capable. She had the Teng Snake that could walk in the air and a storage ring that could transport large quantities of supplies, so the responsibility of developing that place was given to Yuntang.

The vast land and sparse population there means that 100,000 households have to be spread over a vast area of ​​mountains, rivers, countryside, villages, towns and cities.

Yuntang was aware of the responsibilities he had to shoulder, which was why he wanted to ask his fourth senior brother for food. He also thought about reclaiming wasteland and planting crops to increase the income from the fruit and vegetable farming industry.

If that place develops, it will form an angle that can provide war supplies nearby, and at the same time transport food and wages to the western and southern borders.

Such an important and delicate position cannot be handed over to others.

Xiao Beichen had not yet explained this matter directly to Yun Tang. After all, he was still busy with the prayer ceremony, busy with removing the death curse and saving Yun Xuanmo, and then there was the war in the western region, and the eradication of the fallen angels...

This time when Gu Chengfeng returned to Beijing, he talked about the agreement they had made with Yuntang about running errands and delivering goods, as well as Yuntang's own desire to develop the southwestern economy.

Naturally, we mentioned the geographical environment there and what kind of benefits it can produce.

The people in the southwest live off the mountains and the water, but if they had the support of the imperial court, their development prospects would certainly not be comparable to what they are now.

Xiao Beichen talked about his expectations for the prosperity of the southwest, and then said: "Your fourth brother praised your flying boat and the advantages of the storage ring."

"This time the snowstorm in the northern border affected the northwest and western regions. The war and demon disaster in the western region also had a great impact on the development of the western region."

"The damage to agriculture caused by the snowstorm in the northern border can be self-sufficient with the food and other supplies stored by your fourth senior brother."

"I was originally planning to give him some more money, but he asked you to follow him to the East and South Territories in a few days to collect some food. This way, the army and the people in the North will not starve this year."

Although timely assistance was provided to the northern border during the snowstorm and the casualties among the people were not serious, the houses, farmland, crops, livestock, etc. were damaged and all required disaster relief from the court.

Food, dry goods, cotton, quilts and even firewood were distributed from Gu Chengfeng's usual stockpile, ensuring that the people in the northern border would have no worries for the first half of the year.

But the grain planted last fall will not produce a single grain this year.

The north will not thaw in spring, and will not thaw until around the Dragon Boat Festival, which means that rice can only be planted around the Dragon Boat Festival.

Only after the Mid-Autumn Festival can we harvest a batch of grain to ensure the winter food for the people in the north. Before that, of course, we must stockpile more grain and send it over to ensure that there is no risk of any accidents.

This refers to the output from the fields under the jurisdiction of the Taoist farmers, which are special cases that do not pay taxes, but not the livelihood of the northern people from their own fields.

The common people had no food, and the Taoist farmer distributed disaster relief supplies in a timely manner on behalf of the court and the emperor, winning the people's good reputation for the court and the emperor.

The imperial court also issued a special decree to exempt taxes for three years in areas severely affected by the snowstorm, for one year in areas slightly affected, and for no tax exemption in areas not affected.

In addition to these, Gu Chengfeng used the money allocated by Xiao Beichen to buy grain in the East and South Territories. With Yuntang's convenient errand running advantage, he also saved a lot of transportation costs.

The stability of the North is guaranteed for the next three years.

Next is the Western Border, where the war this year is special.

Despite the chaos caused by the fallen gods and the joint attacks by Xiling and Nanyue, the Qingfeng lineage was unable to gain any benefits due to their early awareness and strong defense.

The eldest senior brother had predicted the situation by observing the celestial phenomena and went to the western border. Wang Kun provided a large number of weapons and Lan Jue brought sufficient military rations.

Master and Second Brother went to the Northern Border to provide relief for the snowstorm, and used food and cotton to stabilize several neighboring countries in the Northern Border from joining the war.

Yun Xuanyuan, Yun Xuanyu, Yun Xuanmo, Yun Tang and other non-combat forces raided the Xuannv Temple in Nanyue and Xiling, cutting off the source of the fallen gods' powerful power of faith.

Yun Xuanyang, the Qinglong Guards, the Imperial Guards, the Xuantian Temple in the southern border, and the Taixuan Temple in the southwest all joined the team to clear out the rebellion in the western border, and the situation was quickly brought under control and calmed down.

But all these things caused great losses to the people in the western border and southwest. It is impossible that there were no casualties among the people. It's just that Taoism intervened early and the losses were not as severe as before.

But Xiao Beichen is an emperor and a Taoist priest. He cares about the country and the people. He originally gave Yuntang the land in the hope that Yuntang's advantages could benefit the people there. Now...

Yuntang’s advantages are needed more.

Therefore, after he finished expressing these thoughts, he added: "The imperial court is responsible for the military rations in the western and southwest regions."

"For the post-disaster resettlement and relief of the people, the imperial court will provide part of the money and I will provide part from my private treasury. You and your fourth brother can exchange it for grain when you go to buy food."

"If you need other supplies, I have ordered the local government to make a list and have your fifth brother purchase and distribute them nearby. No matter whether it is in the north, west, or southwest, silver will not be distributed directly."

"We will not hand over the money to other people. In the next six months, we will not have time to worry about disaster relief and corruption."

"As for the other relief grain, I hope you, the Princess Protector of the Nation, can go there to let the people know your identity. This will help you to farm and do business there, develop the economy, and benefit the people."

"Other tree seedlings, flowers, fruits, and so on can also be purchased in the southern border when buying food. The southern border is adjacent to us, and the soil and water are more compatible, so they can be arranged first."

Xiao Beichen added that he was teaching Yuntang in detail how to develop the southwestern fiefdom.

The other princes and princesses of the royal family also had fiefs of varying sizes, but they did not interfere in the affairs of the fiefs. They merely collected annual taxes from the fiefs and did not move to the fiefs. They all lived in the capital.

Some princes who hold official positions can even go out of the capital on business, or those who hold military positions like the Prince of Chengyang are in charge of local military affairs, but they have nothing to do with their fiefdoms.

In the north, there is only one general who owns so many fields and grows so much food and other agricultural products. No one calls him the first general king, but he is called the Taoist farmer.

But now, the Princess Protector of the Country has to personally develop the economy of her fiefdom.

What Xiao Beichen was talking about was the major plan of farming, which was a major event that prioritized the livelihood of the poor people. But after he finished speaking, he mentioned another sentence.

"You can also produce grain and other crops like your fourth brother, and open a shop to exchange for money, just like your seventh and eighth brothers."

"Your Fourth Senior Brother still has military duties to attend to and doesn't want to spread his energy too thin, so he gave the grain store in the northern border to your Seventh Senior Brother to manage. If you and Old Nine are free at the Azure Dragon Guard, you can open a store and make money on your own."

"Don't you want to open a pastry shop and a teahouse? This is more convenient to run than a medicine shop. In the future, the excess output can be shipped to other places, or supplied to your eighth brother to make wine."

Yun Tang nodded and said seriously: "I know. After Fourth Senior Brother finishes his work in the capital, we will go buy some food first, and then go..."
