After dealing with the prince Zang Xi, he and Qin Jiaoxi began to ponder the national conditions of Yanchu.
It's not that he is too busy, but that Yanchu is really not a good place for development.
If he really wants to stay in this country with Xi'er in the future, he will naturally have to contribute a little to the livelihood here.
For example, large areas of barren mountains in Yanchu are empty because it is impossible to grow food from this continent.
However, there are still many seeds suitable for barren mountains in his dimension.
There is no corn in this world, nor are there root plants such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. The people's staple food can only rely on grains such as rice, corn, and various beans.
It’s because the genes of rice and corn are not very similar to those of modern society, so the seeds they grow produce a lot, which is barely enough for the people who cultivate the land to make a living.
Then the rest of the vegetables, fruits and other species are also different from modern ones.
Therefore, in Yanchu, which was close to the sea, most of the people gave up farming and gathered as much as possible on the seaside. Therefore, the capital was located in Beiling City, which is near the sea.
People who cannot go to the sea go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt for a living.
Therefore, for Bo Jiming, there is huge room for development here.
The barren hills are suitable for growing corn, and the salty soil is suitable for growing sea rice from that world.
Once corn can be successfully spread, animal husbandry can follow suit in the future.
Are you still worried about not having food or money by then?
When he was in the Great Zhao Kingdom, he used this method to bring the Shang family's industry across the entire continent to a higher level.
Now that Yanchu can be regarded as its own property, it doesn't seem to be too troublesome to keep the people fed and clothed.
Moreover, since Bo knew these ideas, most of them were given to Meng Yinqin to propose, and he took some drizzle.
On the one hand, it establishes a strong image for the father-in-law, and on the other hand, it also makes the father-in-law realize that he is a very worthy son-in-law...
Zang Haichuan looked at Bo Jiming who was sitting calmly next to Meng Yinqin with a sullen face and narrowed his eyes.
"Prince Shang, during my thirty years of reign, I have sent people to various countries to investigate farming matters, and I have also tried to find seeds from various countries, but they have not been successful!"
"I wonder what kind of crop you call corn?"
Bo Jiming smiled: "The Supreme Emperor is worried about the people, but even if you send people to Dazhao Kingdom today, it is absolutely impossible to find the seeds that I took out!"
After the Marquis of Ding'an came to recognize his relatives, the court recognized Bo Ji as a merchant.
Meng Yinqin also granted him the status of a prince, so that he could stay with Qin Jiaoxi in the palace - he couldn't be driven away anyway.
Zang Haichuan sneered: "The people I sent out to look for seeds back then were all veterans of the court who were most familiar with crops. How could we not find the seeds of Prince Shang?"
Bo Jiming tilted his head: "Of course it's because this is my Shang family's secret!"
"Shang sows this crop in the deep mountains of Dazhao Kingdom for the sole purpose of raising livestock, and then trades the raised chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. If the Supreme Emperor sends someone to inquire about Shang's business in Dazhao Kingdom,
You should know that I, the Shang family, control almost half of the country's livestock!"
Without this, how could the Great Zhao Kingdom develop and prosper in just twenty years?
Zang Haichuan was stunned: "Deep mountains? So the seeds mentioned by Shang Shizi must be planted in barren mountains?"
That's great. There aren't many other places in Yanchu, only the mountains.
But Bo Jiming shook his head: "No, this crop can be grown on a large scale anywhere. It's just because I, the Shang family, don't want to expose it to the world, so I hide it in the mountains and cultivate it!"
"But now, I am willing to dedicate this seed to my father-in-law!"
Meng Yinqin: "..."
This brat is really consolidating his status all the time!
That's all, considering the sea rice he gave me, there is no need to pay too much attention to etiquette in this royal study.
Hearing that Prince Shang was willing to give all the secret seeds of the Shang family to the people of Yanchu, several princes in the room were in awe of him.
The eldest prince: "I admire the righteousness of Prince Shang!"
The second prince: "Prince Shang really did it for our Princess Chu Ning..."
I couldn't find the words to express this feeling for a while.
Third Prince: "Second brother, this is so narrow-minded. Prince Shang is not just for the princess. If the seeds can be cultivated successfully, Prince Shang will be indispensable!"
Zang Haichuan narrowed his eyes again: "But if this kind of seed cannot grow in my Yanchu, how can we compensate for the time and manpower consumed in this attempt?"
Bo Jiming simply turned his chair and faced Zang Haichuan: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if the seeds cannot grow, I will compensate the people who are willing to participate in the planting ten times!"
Then he said word by word: "After all, I, Shang, am rich!"
Zang Haichuan almost fell down in anger.
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't want to see the planting succeed, he also hopes that Yanchu can develop farming.
The consequence of living on the sea for many years is economic instability. Although there has been no war in Yanchu in recent years, its development has been extremely slow.
This is actually the biggest reason why Yanchu is unwilling to participate in the war.
They can't afford to be hurt.
If farming can be developed and stabilized, it will be just around the corner for Yanchu to become a powerful country on this continent!
However, he could not accept that Meng Yinqin could solve this problem that he had not solved for thirty years after taking office.
At best, this can only be regarded as Bo Jiming's contribution, not Meng Yinqin's.
So if he doesn't meet such a person, he doesn't have this destiny.
After some self-comfort, Zang Haichuan suppressed his emotions and said: "In this case, if farming can be successful, Shang Shizi will indeed be indispensable!"
Meng Yinqin didn't pay attention to the Emperor's little thoughts and nodded: "Okay, it's settled. The next thing is about animal husbandry..."
Qin Jiaoxi did not participate in the affairs of the imperial study room.
One is because it is inconvenient, and the other is naturally because Ye Wu is leaving.
But before leaving, there will be a plum blossom appreciation party.
Early winter in Yanchu comes late, the climate does not cool down until October, and it does not become cold until mid-November.
However, the wintersweet in the palace is a species introduced from the Dan kingdoms and has an early flowering period, so it blooms in full bloom in winter, so there is a plum blossom appreciation feast every year.
Of course, appreciating plum blossoms is secondary.
The main reason is to give the ladies of Beiling City the opportunity to enter the palace city.
Yanchu's harem has always been complicated, and Qin Jiaoxi couldn't figure out many things. In addition, the Queen Mother was unhappy because the ninth princess was banned and was unwilling to help the Queen with this year's Plum Appreciation Banquet.
Therefore, Ye Wu definitely cannot leave early, but has to solve the plum blossom appreciation feast.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess did not sit idly by and took the initiative to come to Fengwu Palace and offered to help the Queen with the banquet.
Qin Jiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she is the biological mother of her royal grandmother, so she will not see her in trouble.
