"Ji Qianhu is still thoughtful.

Regarding the tragedy that occurred in Tianxiang Tower, I will try my best to find an explanation to cover up the past.

For those innocent people who died in vain, there is not much I can do. I can only provide them with adequate compensation and a good burial...

Fortunately, the traitor Chang Shoujing was able to kill him, and more than a hundred lives were lost in the blink of an eye!

He often goes to Sanhua Pavilion to have banquets, drinks, and music with celebrities and businessmen!"

Zhou Shaocheng gritted his teeth, with deep regret hidden in his eyes.

If he hadn't known people well, how could he have caused such a disaster if he had such a wolf next to him!

"The minions of the four outsiders, the remnants of the extermination of the Holy Alliance.

The flesh shell and the mind have long been infected by the mind.

To them, human life is the most contemptible thing.

Especially those traffickers and lackeys, poor and useless people, almost no different from pigs and dogs."

Ji Yuan's eyes were slightly cold and he said in an indifferent tone:

"There is a saying in martial arts that if you step into the five realms and rebel against your innate nature, you will never be a human being again.

The same is true for the slaves of the Four Gods. From the moment they kneel down, they are no longer 'human beings', but are demons."

Zhou Shaocheng responded with a straight face, nodded and said:

"Looking at it this way, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the saint rode across the rivers and lakes, destroyed mountains and temples, collected the world's martial arts, and was forbidden to spread them privately... It is really far-sighted!

If it is not stopped, it will be allowed to develop like in previous dynasties.

In another hundred years, the situation in the world will change, and a few ambitious hidden dragons will appear, endangering the stability of the country!"

Ji Yuan's eyes flashed, and he casually exchanged a few words with Zhou Shaocheng, and finalized and negotiated the important matters that must be reported to the King of Chi Lian, the King of White Eyebrows, and the Prince Huai's Mansion who were involved behind the scenes.

Because the prince only supervises the country, many local government affairs, memorials and official documents have to go through six ministries and two cabinet processes.

Except for the secret reports from Heilongtai and Qintianjian, other matters are difficult to skip.

Therefore, in the official circles, joining the six tribes and entering the pavilion are regarded as climbing the two dragon gates on the Qingyun Road.

Only when you are transferred to serve in the Sixth Ministry can you have the opportunity to join the ranks of the mountains. You are no longer a small role who can be called around and can't even enter the minister's or minister's house during the holidays.

Being promoted to the cabinet means forming a faction of its own, a party of its own.

Standing at the highest point of the court is considered the top honor of a civil servant!

"Ji Qianhu, please don't underestimate this rice grain recipe.

Liaodong is a place with bitter cold, heavy snow, and severe drought. It is extremely difficult to farm and raise troops, which costs a lot of money.

After the saint no longer came to the court, Liaodong demanded more than one million silver from the court every year, and the situation became more and more serious. The Ministry of Household Affairs often complained, saying that it was a quagmire of white mountains and black water, dragging down the central government's support, and sucking the blood of the treasury!"
p>

Zhou Shaocheng was relatively slow in terms of official power, but when he talked about his interest in settling accounts, cultivating fields, and raising soldiers, his hard wooden face became somewhat lively.

"Think carefully whether this is correct or not.

More than sixty years have passed since the Marquis of Zhaoyun was established in Changxing and the Marquis of Yang, Guo Xuanyong, was established in Liaodong.

He excavated 400 miles of land, cultivated 10,000 hectares of farmland, and earned about 150,000 dan per year.

Based on the minimum of thirty kilograms of rations for each soldier, this is a drop in the bucket and cannot even feed half of the guards under the command of Ding Yanghou.

Not to mention that in the first level of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, internal refining and external refining consume a lot of money. You must use meat to increase your power.

In addition, local people also need to eat while farming, and it is impossible to use all of it to support soldiers.

Moreover, several prefectures in Liaodong, Jinzhou, Ningzhou, and Yangzhou are very poor, and most of them are supported by the two granaries in Nanzhou.

So we really have to settle the accounts clearly. The one million yuan in salary initially set is not that much.

But after Zhaoyunhou died of illness, Dingyanghou covered the sky of Baishan and Blackwater with one hand.

The demand for food, grass, wages and money is increasing, but the Helan Pass, which was built 400 miles away twenty years ago, has not moved even half an inch.

Why are the several imperial envoys sent by the East Palace so hard to gain a foothold?

The first is that there is no one available. There is a saying in Liaodong: Although I don’t know the Jing Dynasty, I have heard about the Marquis of Nian and the Marquis of Guo.

Except for the bandits in Baishan and Heishui, the rest of the armored and armed men are all generals of Zhaoyunhou and Dingyanghou.

The second reason is that there is no place to stand.

Among the common people in various military villages and the powerful men who built forts, who wouldn’t rely on the breath of the two marquises for their livelihood?

An outsider suddenly broke in and tried to rectify the corrupt situation, but he was blocked at every turn and struggled to make progress."

"I see, Ji has learned a lesson."

Ji Yuan looked solemn and listened carefully.

Zhou Shaocheng's words can be regarded as a profound statement. He starts from the details and explains the situation in Liaodong in a simple and profound way, rather than simply talking in general terms.

If it weren't for the feeling of life-saving grace, the other party might not have said it so thoroughly, and even mentioned Dingyang Hou by name.

"Thousands of households patrolling Liaodong, the first thing is to capture the foundation of a party, so that they can farm and raise troops.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to support the bullfighting flag and the Cloud Eagle Tiqi when the time comes.

You must know that salt, iron, medicinal materials, rice and grain, etc. are all controlled by several major trading houses, and behind them are Nianhou Mansion and Guohou Mansion.

If you break your skin, it will make it difficult for you to move forward, it is not an empty lie."

Zhou Shaocheng didn't know how to be an official by hiding a knife in his smile and pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he had a keen eye that was different from ordinary people when it came to the visible and tangible places in Fuzhou.

From the annual household salary and farm income, he could get a clear picture of the specific situation in Liaodong.

"I really benefited a lot from listening to Mr. Zhou's words today."

Ji Yuan solemnly cupped his fists.

"Ji Qianhu no longer needs to be called "Sir". I will resign in a while. At that time, I will either go to Tiangong Academy to study the art of hundreds of crafts, or return to Jixia Academy to continue to seek celestial figures."

Zhou Shaocheng smiled casually.

"If he is free in the future, Zhou will definitely go to Liaodong to find thousands of households having a drink.

I hope the white mountains and black waters at that time would be somewhat different from today."

……

……

It was half past midnight and I returned to the house where I was staying.

Ji Yuan had dinner, exchanged a few words with Tong Guan, Li Yan, Pei Tu and others before returning to the house.

Thinking of the Hundred-Eternity Economics of the Holy Alliance, I couldn't help but be more vigilant, and simply guarded the door with the water and fire Taoist soldiers created from the Dragon Snake Mine.

When leaving Tianjing City of Daming Prefecture, you must be careful everywhere. Assassination may seem unseemly, but it is actually the most effective.

Death is like a lamp going out, never bet your life!

"You must have land and food to feed people before you can stand firm in Baishan and Heishui...

I originally thought that the patrol in Liaodong was just Bao Gong's patrol to clean up the atmosphere and clean up the mess, and to serve anyone who did wrong with a guillotine.

I didn’t expect that it would become farming.”

Recalling Zhou Shaocheng's sincere advice, Ji Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

When he was willing to win over Luo Yuzhen from Tongbao Bank, he just wanted to use gold and silver to open the way and take the first step steadily by doing business.

But listening to Zhou Shaocheng's solemn tone, it's obvious that it's not that easy.

"Unless we deal slowly with this Dingyanghou Xu and Wei Snake...otherwise it will be difficult to open up the situation.

Liaodong is not the capital of Tianjing. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If you want to move the backer and use the East Palace to suppress people, this method may not work.

If you want to be a fierce dragon, you must not only have a strong fist, but also have a deep pocket.

This job assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a hot potato and difficult to handle."

Ji Yuan frowned slightly. After a moment, he suppressed his distracting thoughts and took out the pearl rice grain recipe.

The ancient meaning of the word sheji is extraordinary. "She" means land and "ji" means grain, both of which were the objects of sacrifice by emperors of all dynasties.

"The country is based on the people, and food is the first priority for the people!

The only reason to be a soldier is to eat, and no one will go through life and death hungry!

If the 'Pearl Rice' that Zhou Shaocheng completed from incomplete ancient books were to be planted, it would be better for health than ordinary elixirs.

If you eat a big bowl every day, you will not only feel full, but also have less impurities, and you will be able to complete both external and internal refining very quickly."

Ji Yuan put the jade slip against his forehead, and when his thoughts flashed, he understood the improved pearl rice clearly.

Then, a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, and he said softly:

"Unfortunately, the conditions are too harsh. The beautiful jade must be crushed into mud, infiltrated and mixed into the fields, and then irrigated with spiritual springs to grow rice with round and plump ears like pearls.
