Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

The emperor chuckled and shook his head, looking at Lin Shu with eyes full of doting and helplessness.

"You asked at the right time. I just received the news before you came."

"The Guanbei region has a flat terrain and fertile soil, which is indeed suitable for farming. It also has an abundant water source. If it can be developed, it will definitely be a treasure land."

"Great!" Lin Shu couldn't help but cheer and looked at the emperor excitedly.

"Dad, I knew it! It is indeed a treasure land. Time is running out, let's act quickly."

Lin Shu was a little impatient and wanted to take his men to fly to Guanbei right away.

She even wanted to find a teleportation array in the mall and teleport people over on a large scale.

Unfortunately, this feature is not available in the store.

Lin Shu sighed in dissatisfaction.

[This mall is not good. They already have things like the fertility pill for men, but why can't they have a teleportation function? If they had this function, how much manpower and material resources could be saved. ]

Although the emperor didn't know what a teleportation array was, after hearing Lin Shu's thoughts, he roughly guessed that it was something that could allow people to move quickly.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Shu was a little worried. "As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must build roads first. We can also create the conditions ourselves."

“Maybe it’s not useful now, but we may find other places to develop it in the future.”

"That will save a lot of time, and even cut the energy consumption on the road by half."

The emperor's eyes lit up as he listened to Lin Shu's mumblings.

He really wanted to do this, but unfortunately he was short of money. If he did it slowly, it would be fine, but if he built too many roads at once, he would not be able to afford it.

The emperor also sighed quietly in his heart.

Let's just focus on what's in front of us first. It will take a lot of money to open up Guanbei, so we should make money from Guanbei first.

Thinking of this, the emperor spoke to General Zhao.

"Send the order and summon all the ministers. There is an important matter to discuss."

Since it was an urgent call from the emperor, all the ministers came as quickly as possible.

The emperor told his ministers about the plan to develop Guanbei and explained in detail the advantages of Guanbei and the necessity of its development.

"My dear ministers, the Guanbei region has fertile soil and abundant water resources. It is a rare treasure land. If we can develop it, it will greatly increase our country's grain production and enhance our national strength!"

The emperor's tone was passionate and excited.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Many ministers echoed, but there were always one or two surprises in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the ownership of Guanbei has always been controversial. Although the land there is fertile, there are many bandits and it is said that there are also primitive savages."

"If we want to develop that place, we will not only need a lot of manpower and material resources, but also a lot of money and military forces."

"Think twice, Your Majesty."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Have there ever been towns in this world?"

“It was all developed little by little by our ancestors.”

"We have a lot of good farmland waiting for us. Are you planning to give up just because of this little difficulty?"

"There is a problem with the ownership of this land, so let's take it down."

"If there are many bandits, they will be captured and made into laborers."

"There are many savages, so we can help them civilize and let them join in the reclamation."

"I'm worried that there won't be enough people."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything."

"I have decided that from now on, we will recruit people to go to Guanbei to open up wasteland!" The emperor's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

"Anyone who participates in land reclamation can obtain the right to use the land for ten years, and those who perform well can obtain twenty years or even longer!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a burst of discussion was heard.

"It's taking too long. If I go there and work hard, maybe I won't have to worry about land for the rest of my life."

"Your Majesty, this is basically a free gift."

"We actually have quite a lot of family members, maybe we can send some people."

Seeing that the ministers were getting more and more excited, Lin Shu immediately coughed twice to clear his throat.

The ministers finally reacted and spoke quickly.

"Long live the Emperor!"

There was a sudden cheer in the court, and many ministers were very excited.

Even those who had opposed it before were somewhat tempted.

The emperor looked at Lin Shu approvingly and continued.

"In addition, all the people who go to Guanbei will be exempted from land tax for five years, and all other taxes will be exempted in the first year, and halved in the next two years!"

The emperor once again dropped a bombshell, completely igniting the atmosphere in the court.

"This..." All the ministers were stunned by the emperor's generosity. "This is simply pie in the sky!"

"Not only that, the state will also provide oxen, farm tools and seeds to the people going to Guanbei to ensure that they can open up the wasteland smoothly!" the emperor added.

"Your Majesty is wise, this move will benefit all people for thousands of years!" All the ministers shouted in unison, the sound was deafening.

I'm afraid that many people would be willing to follow the emperor's measures, especially those who are exploited by the landlords. Instead of starving here, they might as well follow him and try their luck.

Even though the first two years were tough, the rest of the days were good.

They can also get a share of the pie and get some fertile land, especially in the past two years, the variety of grains has increased and the output has been sufficient.

Any transaction costs a lot of money.

In addition, trade must be restored, and they can even sell it to other countries at a high price.

The emperor looked at the excited expressions of his ministers with great satisfaction in his eyes.

He knew that the plan to develop Guanbei would become a great achievement during his reign and would lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty.

And all of this is inseparable from the advice and suggestions of his Fubao.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Lin Shu with a look full of gentleness and pride.

Lin Shu felt the emperor's gaze and was a little stunned.

[Why is my dad absent from the meeting? 】

[What's the difference between this and playing with your phone during a meeting? 】

Lin Shu secretly tugged at the emperor's sleeve and reminded him with his eyes.

[Daddy, can you please stop slacking off so openly? ]

The emperor was a little depressed. Was it so difficult for his love and pride to be seen?

Seeing that her father was hopeless, Lin Shu curled her lips and then acted like a well-behaved child.

She gently tugged at the emperor's sleeve and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, I have something else to say."

The emperor touched her head lovingly and motioned for her to continue.

"Dad, the farmers have been committed to studying agriculture. Now that they have discovered such a good place, they will definitely actively participate."

"After all, their desire for land is stronger than anyone else's."

“We can get farmers to fully support the development of Kanbei and provide the latest planting techniques and growth potions to ensure a good harvest.”

The emperor's eyes lit up, this was indeed a good idea.

"Okay, as you say."
