Liu Wenxi didn't realize that now whenever he has a problem that he can't solve, he will subconsciously turn to Shu Jin for help, and Shu Jin can often give him the best answer.The tacit understanding between the two is established little by little in daily communication, which is as natural as breathing without leaving traces, which makes the two inseparable.

Regarding the question of corn seeds, Liu Wenxi didn't want to understand, so he looked at Shu Jin.Shu Jin was clearly confident, and Liu Wenxi's original worries disappeared.

"Daqi has a vast territory, and there is always a place where the temperature is suitable for planting corn in winter. Even if it is not outdoors, the temperature can be artificially raised." Shu Jin's words awakened Liu Wenxi.His thinking is still limited to Liaodong. Daqi's territory goes south to Hainan. Finding a place where the winter is warmer, even building a greenhouse to heat up, is much more convenient than here.

"I just want to trouble our distinguished guests to go to the south and teach us the knowledge of seed cultivation." The natives have no conflict of interest with Da Qi, and they will definitely pass on the technology to the people of Qi.

Shu Jin also has other plans. The aborigines who came here have only seen Pingcheng before. They must think that Daqi is not as good as their tribe, so let them see more of Daqi's development and prosperity, so that the native Americans will yearn for Daqi. It will be good for future trade.

"These natives are really rich." Liu Wenxi thought about the various gold ornaments on their bodies and the gifts he received, so he couldn't help coveting so much gold. It would be great if all the gold belonged to them.

"After the establishment of trade relations, gold and silver will naturally flow into Daqi." Shu Jin laughed.He has already drawn up a memorial, asking the emperor to rebuild the port of Liaodong, establish a trade route with the Americas, and temporarily monopolize the trade route.

Shu Jin is not a sage, he will share what he can share, but he must consider Liaodong's interests first if he can't share.After the completion of the port, the gathering of people will form cities along the coast, driving the overall development of Liaodong.

"Do you want to build a port?" Liu Wenxi's eyes lit up.

"Of course, after the business routes are stabilized, the port will naturally be expanded." Shu Jin replied.

"Then can I live for a while when I'm free?" Liu Wenxi asked implicitly.

"I don't think I have time this year. If you want to eat something, you can have it delivered. It shouldn't be broken if you go to the station." Shu Jin guessed what Liu Wenxi wanted to do. The seaside most attracted Liu Wenxi to seafood.

Liu Wenxi blinked, the feeling that people can guess what you said when you beat around the bush is too good. Liu Wenxi used to think it was intrusive, but now she only thinks Shu Jin is gentle and considerate.

Liao Wang is young, good-looking, powerful and powerful, and he can't sleep without him. It seems that the probability of cheating is not high. When all the conditions are added together, Liu Wenxi quietly estimated that he can't find a better one in this life. It's him. It's a man.

bald.

In Liu Wenxi's entanglement, the autumn harvest is over, and the food has been packed and put into storage.

This year has been a good year. The weather has been smooth since spring. There is little rain in autumn, and the grain harvest is extremely high. It has not snowed yet.People worked from dawn to dusk, looking at this year's harvest, the whole Pingcheng was beaming.

The new city has also been completed, and the warehouse has been built, just waiting for Shu Jin to collect food to fill it up.

"This commission is a bit high." Liu Wenxi couldn't help clicking his tongue as he looked at the ledger sent up from below.In the first year of this year, Shu Jin exempted everyone from paying taxes, but everyone's winter grain consumption, cattle, and farm equipment costs must be recovered in the harvest.

This year's food production seems to be very high, but after deducting these, it will almost disappear, not to mention that Shu Jin will no longer provide free food in the future, everyone needs to calculate their own income and expenditure to live.

"You can pay it back slowly without charging interest." Shu Jin answered lightly.

Now Liu Wenxi is also wholeheartedly planning for the King of Liao. Hearing what he said, he did not think of the evil landlord class oppressing the working people, but thought of how much pressure Shu Jin was under last winter and prepared so much food to support these people. People, if placed in modern times, Shu Jin can be regarded as a great philanthropist.

"Do we need to stockpile so much food?" Liu Wenxi looked back. The amount of land farmed by the army was even more impressive. After deducting the military expenses, the remaining food is enough to support the current population of a city.

"I still owe my grandfather a lot of money, and I have to pay it back." Shu Jin laughed.

"..." Liu Wenxi thought that there was no need to pay back these things, but it was true, the brothers still settled accounts clearly.

Seeing that he actually believed it, Shu Jin laughed.

"Kidding."

"The various technologies you provided before are all invaluable. After the calculation, my grandfather has to give us some money, and now I owe it first. We are not afraid of too much food. In addition to food reserves, we will also open trading. The development of Liaodong depends on commercial prosperity. , Food is the first step.”

Liu Wenxi nodded and remembered another thing.

"Then are the people in Pingcheng moving to the new city now?"

"Looking at their thoughts, they can live in houses in Pingcheng for free, but houses in Xincheng require a certain amount of rent every year. Whether they want to move to Xincheng or not is up to them to choose."

This is a matter of perspective, staying in Pingcheng does not cost much, and it is convenient to go to the new city, but Shu Jin will not take the initiative to renovate any buildings in Pingcheng, and it is up to them to decide where Pingcheng will go in the future.

During the construction of the new city, every household has saved some money, and the rent in the new city is not high. If they are willing to spend money, it will not be difficult to sustain.

The future development of Pingcheng is definitely not as good as that of Xincheng. It depends on whether they can seize the current opportunity.

"It sounds very complicated." Liu Wenxi said casually, he didn't think about it at all, and counted his fingers when he could move to the new city.

He went to see it a few days ago. The city wall of the new city is made of cement, and the outside is painted with white lime. From a distance, it looks like a white city, so Shu Jin simply named it White City.

A few days later, the food was transported to Baicheng, and most Qi people chose to repay the debt in two or three years, while the Sushen tribe was in a gloomy mood.

"Didn't you say that I will be able to do it after this autumn?" Mo Zexu endured for a year, and found that he was used to this kind of farming, and he hadn't gone out hunting on horseback for half a year. Today, the officials of the palace came to collect the grain, and he was shocked. If you feel wrong, come to Mo Chong to discuss countermeasures.

Compared with ordinary Qi people, they owe Shu Jin more food. Shu Jin supported Mo Chong's whole family in winter. Now, even if they don't want the cattle and farm tools, there is not much food left.

"I'm going to take my clansmen to live in the new city in a few days. My cousin should also think about which is more important, personal grievances or the future of the clansman." Mo Chong's son went to school, and his wife took part in literacy classes. He relied on himself He could read a few characters, but he resisted at first, but was ridiculed by his wife and children that he could only write his own name. He also participated in literacy classes to learn writing and Central Plains culture.

Children talk about how good the teacher is every day, how beautiful Baicheng is.The other children in the family heard that the teacher would live in Baicheng, and they all told their parents that they wanted to go to Baicheng to continue their studies, and they would not have to farm anymore, and could be a small official in the palace.

Since the priest received the medical book, she has been studying it every day, and even consulted with the Qiren doctor. Her medical skills are excellent, and she no longer advises Mo Chong not to get close to the Qiren.Everyone around him has rebelled, and of course Mo Chong knows what the best choice is.

"Then it looks like you are going to become a member of Qi, congratulations, cousin." Mo Zexu was so angry that his liver hurt.His eldest son was taken away by the Xianbei people and killed by the Qi people on the battlefield, so he has always hated the Qi people, and offered to come to Pingcheng with Mo Chong just for revenge.

As a result, he didn't do anything, but worked hard for half a year.

"The one who killed Yun'er was not from Qi, but from Xianbei." Knowing his cousin's stubbornness, Mo Chong casually tried to persuade him.

How could Mo Zexu listen to it? He decided to pay back what he owed to Shu Jin. They also saved some money when they went to work in the new city, which was enough. Besides, their tribe could have enough to eat.

However, when he explained to his tribe that he wanted to take them away, the answers from the tribe were beyond his expectation.

"Patriarch, I want to stay. I have saved some money and want to rent a house in Baicheng." A young clansman said.

"Patriarch, I want to go back and take my mother to enjoy the blessing." A man in his 30s also expressed his opinion.

People in the clan expressed their opinions one after another. Except for a few who were ambiguous, almost everyone else wanted to stay and go to the new city.Mo Zexu understood that if he wanted to return to the tribe now, he would probably be the only one left.

The author has something to say: Liu Wenxi: This chapter is really balding in all aspects.

Shu Jin: On the contrary, I feel that victory is in sight in all aspects.

I didn't write anything in the last chapter, so I took advantage of it and hugged it. In the following plot, I was bald and locked me up if I didn't drive.
