God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

Packing their bags, they headed back to Curry.The port residents huddled at the gate, stuffing local specialties into the arms of the soldiers on both sides, not accepting those who turned their faces.

The people were too enthusiastic, Yun Ze and others didn't dare to show their heads, and stayed obediently in the carriage.

Don't look at just adding some workshops and a few more delicacies, how many people's jobs have been solved?How many families have brought income?The fishermen don't understand those things, they only know that their family has had a better life this year, their stomachs are bulging and their bodies are thick, the dining table is richer, and their mouths have meat.This change is visible.

But after leaving the port city and walking all the way to Curry, the places encountered in the middle are still desolate.The city is better. The roads, public toilets and garbage disposal have all kept up. The workshops opened have promoted the employment of young men and women in the city. In addition, the temples in the city are also developing new medical treatment services, but the changes in the village are not particularly great.

The transportation is inconvenient these days, things are popular very slowly, and the gap between the rich and the poor in Taixi is no smaller than that in Beiguo.The village of Taixi is still remote, and the villagers make a living from farming.If there is any difference, it is that these people have a little meat on their faces and smiles on their faces.

When Yunze went to a village, he would ask about the local grain harvest and daily prices.

He likes to ask old people, looking for old people who are obviously poorer.

When it comes to food, most people are very happy. Their family has less land, and they collect less tax. They grow corn and soybeans in rotation, and the output is good enough to feed the whole family.In addition, the temple provides rental services for oxen and plows, so labor is much easier.

Potatoes were also planted this year, and it is said that they were also seeds brought by the Son of God.They like potatoes very much. Not to mention the large yield, they are delicious.Starch can be used to make bread, and it is also delicious when eaten dry.

What the old man likes most is the public big stone mill in the village. You only need to hand over a few beans to use it. Tofu is delicious, and his toothless food is also good.

Yunze asked how the prices of other things have been in the past few years. The old man thought for a while, and said that the businessmen who came here in the past two years did not carry that kind of cheap raibu and salt mixed with silt.They brought some white and silky good cloth and snow-white salt, but the price was too high to afford, so his family ate less salt this year.

Yunze didn't know whether to feel that these small businessmen were too greedy or that they had no brains.

Cotton cloth and salt with low cost, if you don’t take the route of small profits but high sales, how can you make money among the people at the bottom?

I walked through several villages in a row, and the situation was similar.

Farmers have the keenest sense of smell for grain, and have planted many new grains. With high-yield grains and taxation, they can finally have enough to eat.

Some useful tools, such as the combination of ox and curved plow, the combination of donkey and stone mill, and wheelbarrow, are also available in the village, but the cost is high and they are still public facilities.People in Curry are tired of using it, but people here are still rare.

Still less did they know anything about the new cotton cloth and the new salt.

At least the land taxation policy has been implemented throughout the country, which is the efficiency achieved by King Taixi with the head of the city official.At least farmers who don't have many fields can already have enough to eat. As for others, education and transportation need to be developed.

"Prince, these people will be your responsibility in the future." Yun Ze joked.

Prince Sham just nodded: "I will send people to each village to inform them to buy salt and cloth in nearby cities. Those small traders are really greedy for selling salt and cloth so expensive."

"Uh, the prince has a heart." Originally, Yunze wanted to draw out the words 'the people are the responsibility of the king', but Prince Sham has already had a very simple idea in his mind for this move, so he doesn't need to say more.

It’s better for the king to take the lead. It seems that he is out of tune and likes to enjoy himself, but if he says it is for the good of the country, he will do it without saying a word, and he will do it if his own interests are temporarily compromised. It is obvious to him that Prince Sham will also be qualified. heir.

"Has the prince considered setting up small selling points in various small villages? Sell some necessities of life at low prices, and deliver them once a month. In addition, there are some unemployed youths in the village. You can also consider it when recruiting workers."

The traffic here is not good, and it is unrealistic for people to go to the city to buy salt frequently, so Yunze considered a product of an era - a supply and marketing cooperative.

In addition, the supply and marketing cooperatives can also be responsible for updating the news in a timely manner, so that the villagers can know the recent major events in the country without going out.

They have a lot of people and goods, and they walk slowly. They set off from the port in autumn and don't arrive in Curry until winter.

Seeing the city gate that he had not seen for more than a year, Yunze suddenly felt the excitement of returning home.

The city gate opened slowly. I thought it was Baixue's vast silence, but I didn't expect that when the gate opened, there were people on both sides.They consciously stood on both sides. In such a cold day, a group of people were crowded together, and they were all sweating from the heat.

"Come, come, look, it's His Highness Shenzi. Ah, is that the legendary white falcon that made a contribution? Sure enough, it's handsome. Where's the white lion?"

The shouts of the people reached Yunze's ears.

"Falcon? Lion?" He turned to look at the arrogant white lion, who was snoring slightly in the rickety carriage.

Prince Sham waved to the crowd and said, "The Son of God doesn't know that his story has spread all over Curry, does he?"

Yunze instantly thought of the days when he was surrounded by people every day when he just came back, why didn't the soldiers with such good eloquence become bards?In those stories, he simply became the spokesperson of fantasy and the creator of myth.

The sense of shame pushed Yunze back, and he covered his face: "It's been a year, and everyone is still talking about it?"

Prince Sham turned his head and showed his big white teeth: "It may be talked about for a lifetime." Even passed down from generation to generation, don't the old people in Curry like to pull their children and grandchildren to tell the legendary stories of the year?

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, they arrived at the platform in front of the palace. There were more than 60 people in His Excellency the Great Priest, and he was still waiting for them there.

"Father, mother, this time..." Prince Sham ran towards his parents enthusiastically, but before he could finish speaking, his parents had passed him and walked towards the Son of God whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

"Son of God is getting taller and more majestic. Well, it is indeed my Son of Taixi!" King Taixi gave a bear hug as usual, then patted Yunze on the shoulder and laughed.Even after a year has passed, those words of Yun Ze's slander are still so pleasant to hear.

If you are so good at talking, you must say a little more, and turn around and engrave it on the bronze tablet, leaving your name forever.

The first princess is more considerate: "I'm back. I'm not as comfortable at home as eating and lodging on the road. I've asked someone to cook your favorite dishes. It's just right to eat hot pot this season."

It was the fourth prince Lanche who sympathized with his brother and gave him a hug.

"Lanche? How did you become so old?" Prince Sham, who had shaved himself and looked old to everyone, was surprised.

Rancher with a long beard: ...

Brother, you have changed, you are no longer the one who was proud of your beard!

The first meal when I came to Curry was hot pot. The sliced ​​beef and mutton rolls were on the side, made with the method provided by Yunze.

Fresh beef and fresh mutton, one layer of fat meat and one layer of lean meat are laid out, flattened, and ice cubes are spread around it to freeze overnight.When you want to use it, take out the frozen meat, and cut it into thin slices with a sharp knife while it is not melting.Because the meat is frozen, everything is a thin mutton roll, which is no different from later generations.

The hot pot is a mandarin duck pot, half of which is braised beef bone soup, boiling red oil, and half of which is hen soup with mountain mushrooms, and the red goji berries are undulating in the light yellow soup.

Yunze picked up a piece of tender mutton, rinsed it up and down, dipped it in the oil dish, and stuffed it into his mouth. The fresh, tender, thin, and tough mutton was rolled into the mouth with just the right aroma of sauce. A sense of happiness came out.

"God, Son, Your Highness~ Your Majesty." A soft voice came out.

It turned out that the female official came out with the eldest princess in her arms. I haven't seen her for more than a year. The eldest princess is already a little doll who can talk and dance.

Yunze hugged her: "Do you know who I am?"

The eldest princess giggled, and grabbed Yunze's hair with her fleshy hands: "Your Highness Shenzi is beautiful, pretty~"

Genes are really powerful. Her father loves beautiful people, and her mother loves beautiful men. She already knows what is beautiful at a young age.

Yunze picked her up and threw her high before catching her. The little princess liked this game very much and kept asking Yunze to "throw high".Through this game, they quickly established a revolutionary friendship, because the little girl took out a candy from her pocket and gave it to Yunze.

For kids this age, there's nothing like sugar to express their likes.

He stayed in the palace until the evening before returning to the other courtyard, mainly talking to the king about Huang Daopo's spinning machine.There were too many things, and he forgot about it. Fortunately, it's not too late now.

"Princess Sharjah has reached the capital of Honggu, and there will be more mature textile workers joining Taixi's textile department in the future." King Taixi said, "I made an agreement with her to conquer Honggu within one year, and I will continue to support her. Armaments and rations, she did."

After the Red Valley is laid down, it will become a vassal state of Sharjah and an extension of the land of Taixi.

This era is still relatively chaotic, and all order has not been established.

The first princesses of all countries are noble and basically enjoy political rights.The wives of civilian families are also given the title of 'House Master'.It is reasonable for women to own private property, regardless of whether they are married before or after marriage, so it is not surprising that Princess Sharjah independently controls a dependent country.

It's just that when we talk about Honggu in the future, we should say Taixi Honggu, which shows that Honggu is already a part of Taixi.

Yunze was still thinking about using economic means to retaliate, or was he too naive, why not go to war if he can take revenge?At least for most people in Taixi, military warfare may be more thorough than slow economic sanctions.

"Speaking of which, if Honggu was conquered within a year, is it because Princess Sharjah is too powerful or is Honggu just tofu?"

One year, it takes Curry a few months to go to the south. He just built a lighthouse, and the battle is over?Is this war or travel?

"Your Highness misunderstood. When the people of Honggu saw Princess Sharjah, they basically didn't resist. For many people in Honggu, Princess Sharjah is still the orthodox heir, which is why His Majesty let Princess Sharjah go."

Meinis and Yun Ze, a military novice, analyzed the reasons: "Secondly, after Honggu became a vassal state, the basic laws follow the laws of Taixi. After that, the princess of Sharjah has the final say on additions and subtractions. Just discuss with your vassal city. Same. That is to say, after Honggu becomes a Taixi country, land taxation will also become stepped, which is a good thing for most common people, and they are willing to open the city gate for their own benefit."

"How do the residents of Honggu know Taixi's step-by-step tax collection method?" Yunze asked again.

"Because the princess of Sharjah started to publicize the Taixi taxation law to the Red Valley during the locust plague, and took away a large number of civilians who were willing to go with her to open up wasteland in Taixi. No matter how strict the law is, it can't control people. Mouth, the upper class is not happy about this kind of thing, and the lower class will discuss it secretly. So this time Princess Sharjah's attack on the Red Valley is like going home, the city gate is wide open, and there is no hindrance."

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of people's hearts. From the moment Honggu dignitaries expelled refugees to Taixi to cause chaos and die, the people's hearts are no longer with Honggu dignitaries.

This kind of change is not noticeable on weekdays, and I don't feel much about it, but I know it when it is critical.

Look, the residents of Honggu turned against each other so quickly because of the unpopularity of the dignitaries in Honggu.

In fact, Taixi still has many deficiencies, and I still have to thank my colleagues for their support.

They talked all the way to the door of the house, Yunze got out of the car, and found that the snow at the door had been swept away, and the steps were clean, apparently it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

The snow piled up to the corner of the wall, and there was still a lot of snow on the courtyard wall.

Meinis put the cloak on Yunze, and Yunze suddenly remembered: "Menis has put the cloak on me for several years, aren't you tired?"

"I still want to wear it for Your Highness for the rest of my life, is Your Highness willing?"

The sudden confession made Yunze blush, but the others didn't seem to hear anything, what should they do.

Also, if there is any reaction that should be there, the past two years will be numb.

"Yes, why not?" Yun Ze smiled and pushed open the door, the lights inside turned his face red.

"I'm back!"
