Li Fucheng looked solemn, and after a long while, he said slowly: "If this is the case, Zhejiang will be in chaos."

"As the person in charge of converting rice into mulberry, what will happen to the Sixth Prince if there is chaos in Zhejiang?"

"Of course, he has no chance of becoming the crown prince."

Li Fucheng couldn't help but gasp when he thought about the consequences.

He tried to dissuade his sister, "Although this method can hit the Sixth Prince, it will also harm the people of Zhehai. We cannot do such a sinful thing. If my father knew about it, he would never agree."

"Brother, I mean to let the Sixth Prince suffer, not the common people."

"If the people don't suffer, how can the Sixth Prince suffer?"

"Aren't there many people there now making trouble and refusing to change rice into mulberry?"

"That's right." Li Fucheng pondered, "However, as long as they are rationalized and provided with sufficient food subsidies, they will eventually submit."

"Brother, find some local ruffians, give them some benefits, and make trouble specifically on this matter, inciting the people to make a fuss as loud as possible." Ying Ning thought for a while, "I said this, don't think it will harm the people.

.Even if they all obediently change to growing mulberry trees now, when there is a shortage of food, the imperial court will not be able to really take over their fields at the originally planned price."

Li Fucheng frowned: "Will it? Do they dare?"

"Brother, you are doing old things like this, don't you understand the thoughts of wealthy squires in those places?" Ying Ning sneered, "For example, there is no food in your house, the elderly and children are crying for food, but in your fields there are only things that cannot be eaten.

The mulberry seedlings. What will you do then?"

"Selling fields for food."

"Who decides the price?"

"Of course it's based on the market price."

"Market price?" Yingning laughed, "Yes, maybe the market price is eight bushels of rice per acre of land, but seeing that your family is starving to death, they only give you one bushel of rice per acre of land, will you sell it?"

"..."

"Isn't buying fields at extremely low prices the way for the rich to make a fortune?" Ying Ning said, "It's so difficult to convert rice into mulberry this time. Do you think it's just the common people making a fuss? Are there not those rich among them?

Officials involved?"

Li Fucheng frowned.

Ying Ning added: "Gu Changyuan is a prince. Although he is very smart and has done a lot of errands, he is inexperienced after all. In the sewage officialdom of Zhehai, he cannot compete with those old fritters."

"According to what you said, it is indeed difficult to handle." Li Fucheng sighed, "No wonder the Sixth Prince was trapped in the Zhejiang Sea for several months and had difficulty getting out."

"So," Ying Ning emphasized, "if we follow the court's current ideas, something big will happen in the end."

"So, you are helping the Sixth Prince?"

"Of course not." Ying Ning smiled, "I just want to wait until he messes up, and then let the officials who have good relations with us clean up the mess."

Li Fucheng also laughed: "Do you know that you will definitely fail? The sixth prince may be young and inexperienced, but he is smart and capable after all, and he is a prince. No matter how slick and arrogant local officials are, they dare not be too arrogant.

Too much."

"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, let alone a prince." Ying Ning said, "I know he will handle things well, so we have to find a way to prevent him from doing it poorly."

Although Yingning didn't care about external affairs in her previous life, she also knew that Gu Changyuan won the favor of the emperor precisely because he successfully transformed rice into mulberry. In addition, he had been accumulating power and connections, and he was able to finally seize the throne in one fell swoop.
