The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 647 Persuasion

Seeing his son's reaction, Qi Xiuyuan laughed again, and picked him up and put him on his lap.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Jinghua asked with a smile, "What's the emperor's happy event today?"

"Qiannan's gift list is here." Qi Xiuyuan took out the letter and showed it to Li Jinghua, and said with a smile, "Tell your younger siblings that the local products she chose are hard to sell. Some people just want to eat something fresh for a while, and the money they can make is limited, so it’s better to get rich locally.”

Li Jinghua was puzzled, opened the letter to read it, and sighed after a long time, "Ah Ling has a good heart, but he is anxious about the needs of the people, but it is inevitable that things will be easier."

This gift list was negotiated by Mu Yangling and Chief Ji'an.

Qi Haoran and Chen Jiacai watched with embarrassing faces the whole time.

Although Chen Jiacai is talented and smart enough, he has not participated in politics after all, so his knowledge is limited. He doesn't know the tricks of "local specialties". He just wants to build a good relationship with the court and please the emperor. He thought about it when he went to Qi Haoran Miao Village has something to offer.

But he just started talking, and Qi Haoran refused. Although Qi Haoran's talent is in war, he also knows other things. "Native products" is not a good idea. If the Miao Village wants to show their favor, it is better to present a treasured sword to the emperor or something.

"In order to present the Lipu taro to Beijing every year, almost all the people in Lipu County grow taro. Taro is a miscellaneous growth, and it can be stocked even in the wild. Lipu taro is delicate and needs to be carefully served. Farmers spend almost a whole year planting this thing, but the harvest is very little, and the government does not sell it out, but only buys it at a low price, so although Lipu has world-famous tributes, life is not easy."

Qi Haoran said again: "Fuzhou Dongzhu is the most precious. Every year, the roundest and largest ones are selected for the court. In order to collect Dongzhu that can be paid as tribute, many pearl divers have lost their lives in the sea. If they die, if they can find suitable Dongzhu Forget about the Dongzhu, the imperial court will leave a pension for his family, if they can't get it..." Qi Haoran shook his head slightly, the meaning in his words was self-evident.

Chen Jiacai's complexion was slightly pale.

"Of course there are reasons for the previous emperor's stupidity, but it is also in line with the world. The emperor's preferences have always been sought after. Although my emperor brother is diligent and frugal, he also saves himself, but Da Qi is too big, and the emperor still has people who don't care about him." The place you went to, let alone Qiannan? So once you offer 'local specialties', the subsequent officials will inevitably treat the people harshly in order to please the emperor and Shangfeng."

Chen Jiacai was a little discouraged, the Miao Village was so poor, where to find the precious sword?

Chen Jiacai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qi Haoran's face, and said, "How about presenting a beautiful woman?"

Qi Haoran smiled and said with an unchanged face: "Imperial brother doesn't love beauties, what's more, after he ascended the throne, he said that he would not fill the harem within two years. If Brother Chen presents beauties, my imperial brother can only give them to his subordinates. It's not beautiful."

Just a joke, how could there be a Miao girl in his brother's harem?

He heard that the Miao people are good at Gu, and for the sake of the safety of the Qi family's heirs, Miao girls must not appear in the harem.

Chen Jiacai didn't think much about it, he had also heard the rumor that the emperor didn't fill the harem for two years, and Han Lan said at the time that the emperor and empress had a deep affection.

The Chen family returned regretfully, and was planning to pay a high price to find a precious sword, but they didn't know if there would be time.

In the evening, Qi Haoran went back to tell Mu Yangling about this matter, in order to tell her his foresight and foresight, and to prevent future troubles for his Qi family heirs. It's different, Qi Haoran has only heard about it, but never seen it, and he has always been afraid and worried about the unknown, so he feels that his move is to make a big effort for the safety of his eldest brother's harem.

Why did Qi Xiuyuan and Li Jinghua know so clearly?

Because Qi Haoran angrily expressed his dissatisfaction with Mu Yangling in the letter, she actually only focused on "local specialties" and failed to understand the key meaning of his words.

Qi Haoran and his elder brother have always talked about everything, and he didn't avoid his elder brother when he was chasing Mu Yangling back then, so he also wrote about the small conflict between the couple. How did he know that his elder brother would show the letter to his sister-in-law?

If he knew, he would have politely erased this passage long ago.

Qi Haoran was angry, but Mu Yangling was very happy.

Qiannan is poor. Many people are so poor that they can’t even afford grain. Mu Yangling’s grain shop has opened. Many people have come into the shop to watch corn seeds and upland rice No. 1, but only one adult can pay. 60% of them owe on credit, and 30% wait and see.

Only then did Mu Yangling really feel how poor Qiannan was, and it was three points poorer than when they were in the most difficult time in the Northland.

There is no way, although the Northland is located at the border, there are still a lot of land, although the land is not fertile, it is flat land at least, and there are enough of them.

However, Qiannan is located in the frontier, with little land but barren. At a glance, all you see are mountains, towering into the clouds, in all four directions, from east to west, from north to south. When you enter the mountains, as long as you go a little deeper, there will be mist If the miasma is deeper, poisonous insects and snakes will come out to join in the fun.

Only hunters and Miao people dared to drill into the mountains, but just like that, many people die in the mountains every year, so Qiannan is poor!

Jiangnan has silk, Songjiang has Songjiang cloth, Fuzhou has seafood and pearls, Northland has leather goods, and Northwest has horses. What can southern Guizhou have that can be famous all over the world and make money?

No!

Therefore, in order to get rich, Mu Yangling could only focus on the ordinary local products, so she urged Qi Haoran to send those real Qiannan special products, such as bacon, liver grass, prickly pear, etc., to the palace. .

Even sauerkraut and sunflower seeds were included. At that time, Qi Haoran laughed three times to show his disdain. Fried sun."

"Is that the sauerkraut and sunflower seeds that the emperor ate? Our Qiannan sauerkraut and sunflower seeds have entered the emperor's stomach."

"..." Besides being silent, Qi Haoran remained silent.

In the final analysis, Mu Yangling planned to make money for the people in Qiannan with the emperor's idea, at least to get through the next year's lean time.

Mu Yangling saw that Qi Haoran's expression was not very good, so she hurriedly slowed down her tone and said, "I'm also thinking about you and my elder brother. You have also seen the situation in Qiannan. The government office has no money, and now the people still have money. You can live on the relief food issued by the imperial court, but in March and April next year, if you save money, the relief food will also be eaten up. What will you do then? Squeeze out the soldiers' food and pay to help the people? Or just watch them do it all over again? Why not organize a caravan to go to Beijing to send a fortune, and bring back a batch of grain when you come back, as long as you don’t pick it up next year, you won’t have to worry about it in the days to come.”
