Mr. Wang looked at Feng Jing with a confused look on his face: "What do you mean?"
Feng Jing explained carefully: "Most crops like acidic soil. The soil in Youzhou is alkaline, which is not conducive to the growth of crops, so not much food can be grown."
Master Wang understood and immediately became anxious: "What should we do?"
Feng Jing saw Master Wang was anxious and waved her hand: "Uncle, don't be anxious. I called you here to tell you something. Some crops are not afraid of alkaline soil. Is Uncle willing to use Tongcheng as a pilot to try to grow these crops?"
"
Master Wang finally understood why Feng Jing asked him to come over, but he was worried that the prince would not agree.
"Does the prince agree to this?"
Feng Jing shook her head: "I haven't had time to tell him these things yet. I want to ask my uncle's wishes first. If uncle is willing to use Tongcheng as a pilot project, I will go and tell the prince."
It is very hard to implement this matter, and if you don't do it well, you will be scolded by the people, which is a thankless task.
If her uncle didn't want to, she wouldn't force him.
However, Wang Liang is not afraid of hardship, and he is quite willing to give it a try.
"If the prince agrees, my uncle is willing to give it a try, but what are those crops you are talking about?"
"I have read a book before. It said that sea rice is not afraid of alkaline soil. On the contrary, it likes alkaline soil. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are also not afraid of alkaline soil. In addition, we can also open up wasteland to plant medicinal materials.
Medicinal materials in less alkaline soil can be grown, and I will be responsible for purchasing these medicinal materials when the time comes, so that the people will have no worries."
Master Wang was worried: "If people all over Youzhou grow medicinal materials, will you be able to use such a large amount of medicinal materials?"
Feng Jing smiled and said: "It's okay, we can sell the medicinal materials when the time comes. Uncle, don't worry about this, I will let people run it out."
"By the way, there is also Thalassemia. We can find ways to fertilize and make the land nutritious, so that we can grow abundant crops."
Mr. Wang listened to Feng Jing's words, and his brain was a little short of memory, so he quickly stopped her: "Wait a minute and let uncle digest it."
He paced back and forth in the main hall excitedly, and finally turned around to look at Feng Jing and said excitedly: "Uncle, I think what you said is feasible. How about we go talk to the prince about this?"
Feng Jing smiled and nodded: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and planned to go find Pei Lin with Wang Liang.
Outside the door, Li Xiuzhu came in with a letter and reported: "Master, Prince Lu sent someone to deliver it."
Feng Jing immediately reached out and took it, opened it and looked at it. Prince Lu sent two pieces of news in. The youngest son of the Shi family inherited Shi Chengzhi's talent and loved beauty. There had been two or three incidents of robbing civilian girls before.
However, they were all suppressed by Master Shi.
Another news is that the governor Qian loves his wife very much, but his wife is not in good health. The governor has been looking for famous doctors to treat her.
Fengjing's eyes lit up involuntarily when she saw the two messages.
It seems that being a dandy also has its benefits. You see, young Prince Lu has already established a relationship with someone in such a short period of time, and he also got two pieces of useful information, which is not bad.
Fengjing took the letter and took her uncle to the study room in the front yard.
In the study, Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang were advising Pei Lin.
"Your Majesty, the Shi family wants to marry the prince, why don't the prince accept the Shi daughter as his concubine, so that the Shi family can be used by the prince. As long as Shizhou Mu is used by us, the governor Qian will not dare to have anything happen to him.
The state will belong to the prince, and it will be easy for the prince to do things next."
Pei Lin said with a cold expression: "Is this the only thing I can do with women?"
Mr. Shi and Mr. Wang were stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates do not mean this. I think this is the most convenient and safe way."
Pei Lin sneered: "Hey, are you sure that the Shi family is sincerely surrendering to the king and not taking the opportunity to plot against the king?"
Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang were stunned for a moment. They thought about Pei Lin's previous poisoning. The poison was poisoned by Pei Lin's nanny, Mrs. Xu. The nannies who were waiting nearby were all taken advantage of. Did the Shi family really surrender to the city?
? Or did he deliberately surrender to the city and then let Shi's daughter enter the house to harm the prince?
No one can guarantee this. Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang don’t dare to talk anymore?
On one side, Lin Xiaozhi said calmly: "Shi Chengzhi has been in Youzhou for several years. The prince was not in Youzhou before. He was the local emperor of Youzhou. He must have done a lot of ridiculous things in these years. If we want to deal with him, we don't have to do it."
No need to worry."
Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang said helplessly: "Even if the prince gets rid of Mr. Shi, the emperor will definitely send officials to Youzhou to serve as the governor of Youzhou."
Although Youzhou was a fiefdom of the King of Jin, it was only his fiefdom, and the state pastors were all held by important officials of the imperial court.
If the King of Jin directly appointed you as the governor of Youzhou, it would be no different from rebelling against Yan.
Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang are worried that after getting rid of Shi Chengzhi, another difficult state pastor will come, and in this case, Youzhou will not stop.
On the contrary, by recruiting Shi Chengzhi, Youzhou can be temporarily stabilized. The prince can do things first, return the 200,000 troops in the northwest to his own name, and win over all the officials in Youzhou territory to his name. In this way, it will be Shi Chengzhi's.
The existence of state pastoralists is just a decoration.
In the study room, Lin Xiaozhi looked at Pei Lin's attitude and clearly didn't want to take any more concubines. It seemed that he really wanted to keep Feng Jing.
Now that he has made his decision, he won't say anything more.
Lin Xiaozhi looked at Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang thinking about it and said: "Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang just want to win over Youzhou Zhoumu. Have they ever thought of another possibility? Shi Zhoumu is afraid that he has killed many people in recent years. The people
I’m sure I’d like to drink his blood and eat his flesh. If the prince and Shi Zhoumu coexist peacefully, wouldn’t the people regard the prince as the same person?”
"My subordinates believe that if the prince wants to take charge of Youzhou, in addition to intimidating local officials, he also needs to do practical things for the people. Compared with officials, I think the people are more important. Officials can be removed and re-appointed, but the people cannot be removed.
Yes, a country is people-oriented, which means that the most important thing in a country is its people, and the same is true in Youzhou."
After Lin Xiaozhi finished speaking, Pei Lin had no time to speak, and a quiet and pleasant voice from outside came in: "My cousin said it very well."
Dong Li came in from the outside and reported: "Your Majesty, the princess brings Mr. Wang over to find the prince."
Pei Lin nodded immediately: "Please come in, Princess and Lord Wang."
Dong Li went out to invite someone. In the study, Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang looked at Pei Lin disapprovingly: "Your Majesty, we are discussing something."
There is no reason for women to get involved when men are discussing matters. Although the princess has suffered a lot for the prince, she cannot be so lawless.
Outside the door, Feng Jing happened to walk in. When she heard Mr. Xie's words, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at Mr. Xie and said, "Does Mr. Xie look down on women so much? If there are no women, how can Mr. Xie be in this world?"
This was said so rudely that Mr. Xie was so angry that his eyebrows stood up: "You?"
