Dress as a villain

"As the so-called granary knows etiquette, as a monarch, you can't risk yourself in anything. Even the leader of my world, going to the countryside is protected by layers of protection."

The head of a country maintains the fate of a country.

Si Qitong, as the emperor who puts an end to the troubled times and wants to establish a new dynasty, before she became an emperor, she would not be able to encounter any risk.

Si Qitong began to reflect on himself.Lanzhi is right, she really needs to pay more attention.I also thought that Lanzhi became so worried, it must be because she was going to Honghe soon and couldn't let go of herself.That's why I asked myself more.

A warm current flowed through his heart, causing Si Qitong to gently pull the clothes on his shoulders.

"My wife, I still have a lot to ask you before I go to Honghe."

While carrying the carriage, Xie Lanzhi reminded the woman who wanted to post it behind her: "Go in, and we'll talk about it when we get home. You always behave like this, how can I rest assured?"

Although she has reminded her wife to let her brother-in-law exercise more and run errands for herself, she is still not at ease.Si Xinian has not achieved anything in the court, and she has been unable to understand the opponent's ability for more than a year.

It seems necessary to test my brother-in-law's ability before leaving Beijing.

"Also, don't call her wife, wife, wife in broad daylight." Xie Lanzhi immediately waved her horsewhip vigorously, she didn't think of a woman who always liked to call her wife, wife, and demand in bed.

It made her restless just thinking about it in broad daylight.

"Hmph!" Si Qitong let go of her and sat back in the carriage. Her light tone came from inside the carriage: "Then please, Master Xie, drive steadily. I'm motion sick!"

Xie Lanzhi was ashamed: "The car I told you is not that car."

Sometimes it is a happy burden for her to learn so fast, and even modern complaints are learned and used.How can there be the slightest look of the ancients.Xie Lanzhi is almost certain that as long as Little Phoenix travels through the modern age, she doesn't need to learn anything special at all, and she will be able to integrate into the lives of modern people right away.

Sure enough, people who are talented, intelligent, and powerful are all monster-like existences.

The news that this year's early rice has achieved the highest record of eight stones per mu has spread across the country, even the northern regions are shocked by it, especially Yelu Lili is envious of the treasured land of geomantic omen in the south. If it was the northern region that first occupied Tianjing two years ago, how much would it be? Well, you don't have to watch your neighbors have a good harvest and be envious and envious.

The south has a lot of rain and warm weather, so it is a treasure land of geomantic omen for two to three rice crops a year.

Food production has been ahead of other places.Even if there is a Liushi in other places, it will never be like the average grain output per mu in the south, and the grain is stable.

Now a good harvest.Even the experimental field is enough for every household to see the prospect of a bumper rice harvest in the second half of the year.

In addition, His Royal Highness Feng Ning has issued an order not to allow civilized lime powder to increase the price arbitrarily. Anyone who dares to raise the price casually can be directly arrested and sent to prison, fundamentally extinguishing small businessmen who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

Big merchants look down on them, but common people need three bags of lime powder for each household. The base of millions of households is already large, so the lime powder they need is naturally a huge amount.As long as you raise ten copper coins, you can make a fortune.

But His Royal Highness Feng Ning stared at it, and no one dared to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Lime powder is everywhere, as long as someone is responsible for harvesting it.

Even if there is no price increase, small businessmen can make a lot of money with just some labor costs.

In this way, there was an upsurge of buying lime among the people, and the agricultural officials came to the door to guide them one by one, and began to teach the people how to prepare new fertilizers.

The tide of lime powder in various places is more lively than planting sweet potatoes.Sweet potatoes have also had a bumper harvest this year, but they are slightly less popular than the staple food rice.

Some people still remember sweet potatoes well. If it weren't for sweet potatoes, many people would not have survived until the beginning of the year. Now that new fertilizers have been discovered, and another rice harvest at the end of the year, it is estimated that many people can have a meal of white rice.

Just a meal of white rice is enough to make the people look forward to it. As the people who escaped from the famine, they began to use sweet potatoes to worship the Dragon King and the God of Valley.Hope next year will be another bumper harvest.

In fact, as long as the south as a whole stabilizes and resumes production, it will become rich sooner or later.As a land of fish and rice in the south, the life of the people will be better than in other places.

Xie's army continued to expand to various important places in the south to strengthen the defense.

However, sending troops from the Xie family alone is actually not enough people. The young people who joined the army in the Nine Jin Dynasty were conservative and almost only joined the army under Si Qitong's command.

Not enough troops for the South as a whole.

Xie's barracks are open to foreign surnames, and those who enter the camp can receive three buckets of food.Three buckets of grain and eighteen catties can barely last a month.

Jin people who were far away from Tianjing joined Xie's barracks one after another, just for food.

This time the expansion directly expanded 10 people.There are also [-] strong men who were pulled down by the Southern Region at that time, and now they have become the defenders of the Southern Region.

The total number of Xie troops has expanded to 70.

70 can hit only Xie's more than 30.Most of them are in logistics, and each person eats a catty of food a day, which also increases the pressure on armaments.

Now that these recruits join the army, they are pulled into the fields to exercise within a few days of training, helping to plant late rice and plant seedlings.

In one day, more than half of the grain fields in each county have more people than rice seedlings, and the grain fields are planted within two days, and when they grow taller, they can be filled with new fertilizers.

And when the news reached Xie Lanzhi, she once again witnessed the advantages of having more people and more power, and being able to do things as a group.

Si Qitong's mind is all on agriculture recently, because after the sweet potato harvest, another thing has also moved.That is peanuts.The peanuts were supposed to be harvested next month, but the Secretary of Agriculture saw that five acres of fields had been uprooted half a month earlier, and the picked peanuts were washed and sent to Lanzhang Palace.

She and Lanzhi peeled the seeds of this batch of peanuts.has extraordinary significance.

There was also a pot of peanut oil sent by the Secretary of Agriculture.

Si Qitong lifted the lid of his nose and smelled it lightly. The natural aroma of peanuts entered his nostrils. It must be that the stir-fried vegetables will allow Lanzhi to take in more, um, it seems to be something called vitamins.

"Lanzhi, you said that peanuts can be squeezed into oil. I'll let the people below try it. They steam the peanuts and put them in an insulated barrel to squeeze out some."

Xie Lanzhi leaned over to the oil pot and smelled it. The pure natural peanut oil, with a golden color, smelled like it had a meaty aroma.She swallowed and suddenly wanted to use this peanut to cook. The soybean oil, vegetable oil and lard paste she usually ate was already tired.

"Today at noon, let's use this for cooking."

"Well, make more vegetarian dishes."

Xie Lanzhi: "Eating grass today!"

As a carnivore, looking at his wife's expectant face, she had no choice but to swallow her words. It seems that there are more vegetables and less meat at noon.She will be eating vegetarian food today.

The cooks in the imperial dining room, after receiving the recipes and peanut oil from the masters, began to show their skills.

After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of roasted peanut oil. The cooks had never smelled such a fragrant oil after decades of work. They thought lard and vegetable oil were already good, but they didn't expect peanut oil to be an eye-opener for them.

I even became addicted to my hands, frying a lot of vegetarian dishes without even meat, thinking that the vegetable oil must be smoother and brighter than the meat.

At noon, Xie Lanzhi ate five plates of vegetarian dishes and the only piece of fish his wife allowed to eat, so he ate an extra bowl of rice for it.

Sure enough, vegetarian dishes are not difficult to eat, but the oil is the problem.

Si Qitong put down the bowl and chopsticks, and she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. She had used two bowls on the dining table, and she had a big appetite. Today, she used more bowls of rice than usual.

Peanut oil is very popular with the masters of Lanchang Palace.

The courtiers went to inquire about peanut oil one after another, and spent a lot of money to buy half a pot from Sinong's to fry it at home, and fell in love with peanut oil completely.Since peanut oil has not been produced in large quantities, it is only circulated in the upper layer for the time being.

A businessman was lucky enough to taste the dish fried with peanuts, so he began to ask around, and even bought a relationship for a small pot of peanut oil.

A total of [-] catties of peanut oil were extracted from the farmers, and [-] catties were sent to the imperial dining room.The adults asked for fifty catties of the remaining two hundred catties, Xie's fifty catties, Si's fifty catties, and only fifty catties left.They didn't dare to give it to others, but they never expected that the master of Palace Lanzhang would allow them to use the remaining fifty catties for their own use.

That is, you can handle it yourself.

The farmers each sold ten catties to the merchants at a high price. The merchants tasted the sweetness and found out that the peanuts are growing well. Next month, the peanuts will definitely generate income, and they will definitely concentrate on pumping oil at that time.This is a good way to make a fortune, so he first signed a contract to reserve five hundred catties.

The Sinongs were afraid to make a decision. At this time, Mrs. Xie came over and reminded the Sinong officer that they could buy it in advance. This was His Royal Highness Feng Ning's intention.

The farmers signed Youyin and received 100 taels of gold from the merchant.

When the 100 taels of gold arrived, it caught Xie Lanzhi's attention.Si Qitong even used 100 taels as bait to trap the businessman.

She said: "Lanzhi, you see these rich people are willing to spend so much money even if it's just for a little bit of food."

Xie Lanzhi laughed back at her: "You are the richest person in the world."

"Who thinks there is too little money?" Si Qitong blinked, full of calculations, and Xie Lanzhi guessed something even if she didn't say anything.It is the commercial tax that Little Phoenix mentioned before.Increase the income from commercial taxation. This time it is commercial taxation. If it continues, I am afraid that the whole people will pay taxes.Even officials are no exception.

She didn't point it out, just waiting for her to deploy step by step. The more handy she is, the more experience she will accumulate, and she will be able to get rid of her dependence on herself.

Just as she matured, her political methods should be more capable earlier.

"You do it, and I will leave the force to me." Xie Lanzhi promised.She is very clear that even in troubled times, the gentry with serious class sexual orientation will not occupy the interests.Even if a dynasty is about to die, most people will only think of their own future first, or they will invite a foreign race to enter the customs in a whimsical way, and vote for a new master.In her opinion, the country has been subjugated, and no matter how new the lord is, it will not be able to change the fate of the subject of the subjugated country, which is simply ridiculous.

When Emperor Xicheng was still alive, he had the idea of ​​collecting taxes from the upper class, but unfortunately he was found out and impeached before it was implemented.The people below did not cooperate due to the interests of the people, and the order of Emperor Xicheng could not be issued to the bottom, so they could only shelve it for later processing, but no one thought that it would be a pity that they could not fulfill their wish in the end.

Now that his father died and his son succeeded him, Si Qitong not only avenged his father, but also fulfilled his long-cherished wish for his father.
