Bai Ling has always been someone who will do whatever comes to his mind.
After dinner, she went back to her room and sent Haitang and others to rest while she went to the space to write a plan.
In fact, the first step is to calculate how much wheat seed can be obtained this year and how much tribute rice can be prepared.
The quality of rice varies and can be divided into at least four grades.
Nowadays, the northern rice is only in its first year of planting, and the special ones are naturally reserved for seeds. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would not say anything, otherwise the people would drown in their saliva.
Does appetite still matter if human life is important?
Good seeds can determine the production of food, which is the life of the people.
"Seeds account for about one-two-tenth of the output, top-grade rice can account for about 30%, medium-grade rice can also account for up to 30%, and the rest is broken rice and miscellaneous rice. The price can only be in line with southern rice, but less
In addition to the transportation cost, it’s not a big deal to turn around.”
Bai Ling recorded on the paper, his abacus clicked, and he quickly calculated how the rice should be distributed and how many acres of rice could be grown next year.
Bai Ling naturally wants to keep these rice seeds for his own use. Rice seeds for promoting rice can continue to be transported from the south.
However, without the blessing of spiritual spring water, Bai Ling was not sure what the survival rate of rice would be, and he couldn't help but hesitate about the scope of promotion.
When something was uncertain, Bai Ling left the space, and Shangguan Yu came after a while.
"Are Ling'er missing your husband?" Seeing Bai Ling leaning on the pillow, looking deep in thought, Shangguan Yu sat next to her and kissed her on the forehead.
"Shangguan, do you know how many depressions there are in Zixiao City?" Bai Ling had something on his mind and was not in the mood to talk to Shangguan Yu right now.
However, they hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Bai Ling was so busy that she forgot to think about Shangguan Yu. Now that she saw him, she subconsciously leaned into his arms, but she missed him a little.
"I don't know. I'll ask someone to check it out later," Shangguan Yu said.
Although Bai Ling did not express welcome, Shangguan Yu felt happy because he snuggled into his master's arms like a cat.
His big hands stroked Bai Ling's disheveled hair. Shangguan Yu leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
"Then you can do the statistics first. I'll ask Old Wu to arrange for people to go south to buy rice seeds first, so that if the news about northern rice spreads, someone will take the opportunity to raise the price." Bai Ling said.
"Can you help me?" Shangguan Yu asked.
Regardless of the reason why Bai Ling did these things, the people who benefited the most were the people, followed by the Han Palace.
The Han Palace and the people of the fief are one, so the final beneficiary is the Han Palace.
"It's time to forget it. Your people are all busy with their own affairs. Besides, there are many people watching you. There is no need to waste talents on this matter. The people under me can't even buy rice seeds.
Nothing can be done well." Bai Ling shook his head and refused.
Being cared about by his sweetheart, Shangguan Yu felt more at ease, and finally understood why men were in a hurry to get a wife.
"The envoys from various countries are about to leave. I have been ordered to escort the princesses who are going to Beichen and Xiyue to get married to the border. They will leave tomorrow." Although Shangguan Yu didn't want to go so early, he was afraid that Bai Ling wouldn't pay attention to him.
.
"Have people from Beichen Kingdom and Xiyue Kingdom come to ask for marriage?" Bai Ling sat up, attracted by Shangguan Yu's topic.
The Eastern Han Dynasty is a big country, and there is no reason to send a princess to get married.
"Beichen Kingdom and Xiyue Kingdom are in internal turmoil due to natural disasters. No envoys came to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday. In the past few days, they sent people to make up for the birthday gifts and proposed marriage to the royal family."
Shangguan Yu sneered.
Outsiders thought that these two countries owed food to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and other countries came to ask for peace, so they naturally wanted to make amends.
But Shangguan Yu's people had already received the news. It was clear that the emperor had secretly manipulated and bribed officials from both countries to achieve this marriage.
Bai Ling was not ignorant of politics at all. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that something was fishy.
"If the emperor were the mistress of the back house, he would definitely be a very good house-fighting player." Bai Ling said something contemptuous, and then asked: "Will the emperor cause trouble to the Zixiao Army by doing this? Will you?
There won’t be any trouble?”
"Right now, the Beichen Kingdom and the Xiyue Kingdom both seek help from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a marriage is beneficial to them but not harmful. In addition, they have signed a peace agreement before, so there will be no war in the past few years. Once they regain their vitality, then
It’s hard to say.” Shangguan Yu sneered.
"Isn't the emperor out of his mind? He borrowed food from other countries, and even offered to send the princess for marriage. He was lowered for no reason. He was beaten to pieces by his good cards. It's no wonder that the princes vying for the position of prince,
They are not the best among people." Bai Ling tutted.
Shangguan Yu smiled after hearing this, pinched Bai Ling's face and said, "Just tell me this, but don't say a single word in front of others, otherwise you will be in constant trouble."
"I'm not stupid. I have nothing to do to cause trouble for myself." Patting Shangguan Yu's hand away, Bai Ling lay on his chest and asked, "If you leave, what will happen to my rice? No one will fight for my interests.
Aren’t you going to suffer a loss?”
Shangguan Yu's originally smiling face darkened after hearing Bai Ling's words.
"In Ling'er's heart, am I still no match for that little rice?" Shangguan Yu asked with a dark face.
"There's no comparison!" Rice can fill the stomach and leave a fragrant mouthfeel! Bai Ling thought so in his heart, but said: "I feel sorry for my father. In the first year of planting rice, besides accompanying Xiaoshan on scientific research,
, my father is almost homeless and can’t make more money. I’m sorry for the old man’s hard work, right?”
Hearing this, Shangguan Yu felt a lot more relieved, but he still said with a straight face: "If your reasons pass, I will forgive you a lot."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Bai Ling pretended to bow down, causing Shangguan Yu to snap his fingers.
Before Bai Ling could get angry, Shangguan Yu hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the rice. Although I have left, my father is still in the capital and will be sent to the palace in person tomorrow. Although my father is a bit rough,
But he is also a person who protects his shortcomings and will not let his in-laws and daughter-in-law suffer."
"Then I really want to thank you, Your Majesty. You can rest here for a while, and I'll prepare some thank you gifts. I'll also prepare some things for you to take with you on the way. I'll be back soon." Bai Ling said and got up, preparing to go to bed.
.
"Aren't you going to go with me?" Shangguan Yu took Bai Ling's hand. This was the purpose of his coming here today.
"My two younger brothers are both in the capital. If I go back, my parents will worry about them. I can't let them come over to accompany me, right? I can only sit here until the end of the Spring Festival." Bai Ling sighed as he spoke.
One sound.
Bai Ling prefers living in Nanshan Village to the capital, but now she has no choice.
Shangguan Yu also knew that his request was unlikely to be realized, so he had to reluctantly let it go.
After Bai Wei discovered their close contact, Bai Ling gave Shangguan Yu a ban. He could come to her, but he couldn't go to bed, otherwise he would ignore Shangguan Yu in the future.
But Shangguan Yu didn't know that Bai Ling just made an excuse because he was afraid that he would find out about the space.
Even though Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu had already established a relationship, and Bai Ling knew that Shangguan Yu had discovered some clues, she still didn't do a good job in sharing with him the secret that affected her family and life.
Space is Bai Ling's confidence and her trump card. (To be continued)
