Farming and teaching across different worlds

Empress Cheng leaned lazily on the soft pillow, glanced at the Nine Kings, but didn't get up, but asked casually, "What's wrong?"

When Jiu Wang heard his mother's question, although he was angry, he had no choice but to answer, but his face was still indignant: "Father is really biased, the third child is just showing off, and he rewarded a lot of things. , and rewarded two Zhuangzi, but my minister only has a few decorations."

Hearing this news before he became a queen, he was angry for a while, and now he heard it again, the anger that had finally subsided, and he suddenly got up again: "Hmph, it's not a day or two that your father is biased, it's still the same one." The third child will cause trouble for our mother and child, and you too, so you can't compete with the third child."

This Cheng's mother and son are her nemesis, this Cheng is alive to make things difficult for her, and this Cheng's dead, her son will come to make her troubles again.

The Nine Kings were reprimanded by the queen, and retorted aggrievedly: "How can my son be better than that man? He is protected by his father everywhere, and now he is still in charge of the government."

These Nine Kings are only at the young age, so they are not as good as the elder brothers who have grown up for a long time, and they don't have any important responsibilities in the court now.

After hearing this, Empress Cheng frowned, thought for a while, and finally said: "The queen mother will go to your father and tell you to take an errand. Then you have to work hard, and go and talk to your uncle. For a moment, let them act cautiously in the future, and don't let people catch them again."

The Nine Kings heard this, and began to complain dissatisfiedly: "The uncle's work must have been done by the third child. Not long after that Gongsun came back, the uncle was reprimanded by the father."

After hearing this, Empress Cheng snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. We will settle the debt with him slowly in the future. The most urgent thing now is to let your uncle and the others lie dormant, and don't act rashly."

After hearing what Empress Cheng said, the Nine Kings had no choice but to nod in response, and then left the Changchun Palace and went out to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion.

……

The port of Jinkou was completed, and at the same time, the building ship from Yunzhou Prefecture, which lasted for one and a half months, was about to arrive at the port. The third prince received the emperor's order and took Gongsun Zizhan to attend the completion ceremony.

Jinkou is two hours away from the capital, and after the opening of Jinkou Port, it will be much faster to go to Kyoto from all over Daxia.

But speaking of Yunzhou, it takes two months to get to the capital by land, but only one month by sea.

The building ship for this trial voyage only took one and a half months because it was still in charge of exploring the road, so the speed was not fast.

Everyone was waiting at the port, watching the four-story giant ship sailing towards them. They couldn't hide their surprise in their hearts. They wondered in amazement when the shipyard in Daxia would be able to produce this legendary ship.

Randomly looked at the huge monster excitedly.

The four-story ship can carry [-] people and load [-] tons. It should be the necessary equipment for north-south shipping.

When the boat stopped, the officials on board came down, saluted and greeted the leader of the Third Prince, and handed over Ji Xiuran's confession and things. .

Only then did they take everyone on board the ship for a visit. This time, they came here not only for the completion ceremony of Jinkou Port, but also to let everyone see the power of the ship.

After boarding the building boat, Gongsun Zizhan walked beside the Third Prince, and said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't expect this building boat to be so magnificent."

Standing at the bow of the ship, at a height of more than ten meters above the sea, looking down at Jinkou Port, the view is wide and the mood is instantly happy, which makes people relax unconsciously.

Hearing what he said, the third prince looked back at him, saw the relaxed expression on his face, raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Zizhan likes this boat very much?"

Gongsun Zizhan smiled from the bottom of his heart, and asked, "Don't tell me the prince doesn't like it? With this boat, the prince's future plans will go much smoother."

After hearing what he said, the third prince smiled heartily: "Zizhan, what you said makes sense."

That's right, with the deterrence of this big ship, those pedantic conservatives can no longer oppose his plan with the issue of the ship.

It wasn't until the people who boarded the ship and watched it disembarked in a trance that they realized that Daxia's shipbuilding capabilities had improved a lot, and just as the three princes deduced, no one objected to the opening of the inland sea shipping anymore.

Seeing this result, the Third Prince smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

After staying for a month, Ji Xiuran welcomed the return ship at Tai O Port, and since then, the inland sea shipping in Daxia has officially opened.Afterwards, in addition to Tai O Port and Jinkou Port, Luzhou Port and Qingxian Port were built in the coastal areas to connect inland river water transportation, allowing Daxia's water transportation to develop from a linear route to a network route.

The imperial court issued an official document to set up a shipping department in each seaport to be responsible for various shipping matters.

Cao Xian, who also received the official document, saw the official document slammed down on the desk, and angrily reprimanded: "The sea transport is separated from the water transport. The court is confused."

The disciples around him were worried that he would utter treasonous words again, so they hurried forward to appease him: "My lord, calm down, this matter is a foregone conclusion. The most important thing at the moment is how to ensure that the water transportation will not be affected."

Hearing this, Cao Xian was even more angry. Originally, when there was only water transportation in the inland river, this was the only way to go between the north and the south. The water transportation department lay there, waiting for someone to send money to the door, but now Sea transportation is more convenient and faster. Many merchants from the north and the south choose to use sea transportation, which has a great impact on inland river water transportation.

Cao Xian was still complacent before, thinking that when the imperial court issued an official document to attribute the shipping to his name, the benefits would not be lost. Who knows, such an announcement would really annoy him.

I don't even think about it, how could the Third Prince make wedding dresses for others.

Now that the official document has been issued and the matter is a foregone conclusion, he has no choice but to find a way to ensure the interests of water transport as the disciples said.

At the same time, he also wrote a confidential letter and sent it to Beijing.

When Cao Xian's secret letter arrived at Cheng'engong's desk in the capital, Cheng'engong invited counselors to discuss the matter together.

After discussing for a long time, they couldn't find a good way, so they had no choice but to leave.

After everyone left, Cheng Li looked at the secret letter with a gloomy expression.

This Cao Xian was the dark line he placed in the water transport, not many people knew about it, otherwise he would have suspected that the court's move was targeting him.

A large part of the revenue from the water transport was sent to him, which was also his biggest secret.But now the interests of water transportation are being divided, that is to say, his interests are being divided, which is very unfavorable to him.

And this sense of powerlessness as he watched things worsen, but there was nothing he could do, made him even more depressed.

Thinking about what he said before becoming a queen, and thinking about His Majesty's attitude towards their family now, his face became gloomy again, and he said quietly: "I Chengli will really do something, don't blame me, you forced me to do all of this." of."

……

Ji Xiuran didn't ask much about the affairs of Tai O Port since there was a shipping department.

In the new year, new planting crops and methods were introduced in Yunzhou, and the results were very good. The adult classes held by various county schools were also very successful.

The promotion of offshore aquaculture is also in full swing. Since the opening of shipping, the trading of seafood and dry goods in Yunzhou has also improved to a higher level, and the lives of fishermen have become better.

The work of the shipyard and the saltworks is also on track.

The new policies implemented by Ji Xiuran after taking office have all achieved results, and the entire Yunzhou has developed steadily under his leadership.

After everything was on the right track, after Ji Xiuran arranged his work, he was relatively free. Apart from some daily business, he also had time to spend with his family.

At this time, Ji's father and mother, who had been in Yunzhou for almost half a year, finally couldn't stay any longer. Seeing that Ji Xiuran was not so busy with his official duties, he proposed to return to Qingshan Village.

In fact, the two of them couldn't stay together for a long time. When spring came, Ji's father began to miss his family's field, and would ask worriedly from time to time, "I wonder if the eldest brother and the second child will help me plant the land well."

At first, Ji's mother still couldn't get used to it and stabbed him a few words: "Only your one-acre three-point land, can the eldest and the second be able to plant it?"

But after a long time, Ji's mother couldn't stay any longer, and she began to miss the stalls in the Qiaotou market. "According to the time, it's the peak season for mountain tours. At this time, you can earn dozens of pennies a day by selling stalls."

Although the two old men were anxious, they both acted calmly in front of Ji Xiuran when they saw Ji Xiuran's busy appearance.

He happily plays with his grandson every day.

After Ji Xiuran was free, he found him and proposed to leave.

Ji Xiuran heard this, but of course he disagreed: "Father and mother, you should stay in Yunzhou for a little longer, my son is reluctant to part with you."

Although the two old people can't help him much, as long as his parents are at home, he will have support in his heart.Hearing that they were going to leave now, naturally I felt sad.

Ji's mother glanced at him, and lightly scolded: "You are such a grown-up, a state parent officer, why are you still so delicate."

Ji's father also took a puff of dry cigarette, and said helplessly: "Father and mother can't help you here, and besides, we really don't worry about our family, and we feel uncomfortable after leaving for too long."

Everything is fine here for the son, and after the two of them saw it, they were relieved a lot, and the two old guys stayed here, and they were distracted to take care of them, causing them trouble, and they didn't feel good about it.

In the end, Ji Xiuran couldn't convince the two of them. Once the two old people made a decision, they couldn't easily change it.

It just so happened that Liu Zhen was going back to Qingyang County to participate in this year's autumn festival, so Ji Xiuran let them go together and asked Liu Zhen to help take care of the two old people

Chapter 134

Knowing that the two old men were leaving, Shi Jingchen also specially asked for leave to see them off.

Ji Xiuran prepared two large carriages full of things for the two of them
