Fu Bao nodded, satisfied with Wan Heng's behavior.
She looked to the side and saw that the surrounding area was quite quiet and the lotus leaves were not too dense. Presumably the water below was in relatively good condition.
This side is the very edge of the lake, far away from the area where people play, and few people usually come here.
Fubao was sure that a crayfish breeding area and a rare aquatic product breeding area could be built here, so he discussed it with his two uncles and left.
This time they went directly to Wanheng County Sheriff's Mansion. When the gatekeeper saw them, he became excited and ran in to report the news to Wanheng County.
Not long after, Wan Heng hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Princess Changning has arrived, and it's hard to welcome her from afar!" Wan Heng changed his previous attitude and treated Fubao and the others with both humility and nervousness.
Fu Bao was a little curious as to how his grandmother had beaten him. His stinginess and calculation suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Li ignored him, stepped directly into his governor's house, sat down at the front of the lobby, and patted the seat next to him, signaling Fu Bao to sit down.
Wan Heng stood below, hunched over, as if he was nodding and bowing. His whole body was still a little tense, and there was a little sweat on his forehead.
The last time he came, he offended Princess Changning and Prince Tang, and he had trouble sleeping and eating. But what the old lady of the Jiang family said to him this time made him even more frightened.
How dare you neglect even half a minute...
Fu Bao's expression condensed, and the little adult looked quite stern.
"Magistrate Wanheng, we have been gone for so many days, how is the development of Rongping Town now?"
After hearing Fubao's words, Wan Heng said them all like he was spitting out beans.
After hearing what Wan Heng said, Fubao and the others learned that Rongping Town had now changed its mayor.
The mayor's name is Zhu Tianku, who is Zhu Changgong's distant cousin, but he is quite upright and put Zhu Zhu in jail on the first day he took office.
Zhu Zhu had been in the prison for a long time, but she was unable to respond to calls every day, and her reckless and carefree temperament had long been worn out.
Zhu Changgong was directly sentenced to death by Qiu Houwen, while the Bao family was fined a thousand gold, which was used to cover the basic expenses of the entire town. It was this money that gave Wan Heng some confidence to develop pearl farming.
Those net collectors and boat owners who go to take care of the waters in the breeding areas all need money. This job is not accessible to everyone and requires professional talents.
This Wan Heng is still considerate, he is already prepared for these people, all of them have a clean family background, so they are worthy of trust.
Pearl farming is not a secret industry, and Fubao also thinks it is feasible, so he doesn't say more about it.
Finally, as for the river mussel seedlings, he also picked out two.
The two of them are the best at farming mussels, but one of them charges an expensive price for good seeds, while the other charges a medium price, but the seeds are also average.
He was just waiting for Fubao to come so he could make a decision on which seeds to choose.
"Let's take a look at their seeds." Jiang Li said calmly.
Wan Heng immediately ordered his servants to bring up the two kinds of seeds he had prepared long ago.
After bringing up the two seedlings and comparing them, it turned out that one was of better quality and the other was of worse quality.
Pearl cultivation is a long process, so it is natural to choose seeds with better quality.
Jiang Li hurriedly walked out, wondering what he was doing, and Wan Heng didn't dare to ask.
Soon, he came back again, and whispered in Fu Bao's ear: "This higher-quality businessman has fertile land at home, but no one has planted it. In recent years, he has diligently turned it into a small pond.
, used to cultivate river mussels.”
But Fubao knows that river mussels are not that easy to sell, and they are usually fried as river delicacies.
Although its quality is high, people who harvest it, and the lake has a lot of aquatic products, people who live by the lake can often eat it.
Fubao understood clearly. It seemed that the residents of Rongping Town had not yet invented some delicious fried river delicacies.
River mussel meat is relatively rare, and most of the stir-fried dishes are spicy. She has eaten it several times in space and she likes it all.
It seems that this businessman must be captured before then.
Jiang Li had the same idea as Fubao, and he added: "This businessman planted river clam seedlings diligently to raise his seriously ill mother and several young children. His wife was seriously ill a few years ago.
He died of illness, and he had to rely on himself to make money all these years. It was very hard to treat the disease and raise children, so naturally he had to find a way to sell the river mussels at a high price."
This was easy to handle. Fubao and Jiang Li looked at each other and then towards Jiang Yuan.
They set off immediately and asked Wan Heng to lead the way to the businessman's home.
This is the outskirts of Rongping Town. As the thatched hut approaches, a man with dark skin, medium build, and a stooped back is busy doing something in the pond in front of him.
In his pond, when the soil was turning, many clam shells reflected a pure light. They were indeed good river mussels.
Fu Bao and others took the opportunity to take a look, and then the man also noticed them.
I saw the county governor Wan Heng coming and rushed to greet him.
"Master Sheriff, are you here to see our river mussels again? Who are these?"
The businessman looked at the strangers in front of him with some embarrassment. He could see that Wan Heng was quite respectful to Fubao and the others, and looked very nervous.
"This is Jiang Zhao, the eldest princess of Changning in Kyoto, who is also the lord of our fiefdom. I haven't met Her Highness soon!" The businessman hurriedly knelt down, but Fu Bao didn't care about these red tapes and hurriedly helped the businessman up.
"There is no need to be polite. We came together to see your mussels. Now that I have seen that the quality of your mussels is indeed good, but the price is a bit high." You will know what this means as soon as you hear it.
Fubao and the others didn't want to beat around the bush, but the merchant was a little confused. As a princess, did she still need to negotiate the price with him?
These powerful people are only interested in profit...
The businessman couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still had to bow respectfully: "Your Highness, I have devoted all my energy to these river mussels. I have taken care of them every day, fed them, and taken care of the environment very well. I am busy doing this all by myself."
I have more than I can afford, but I have to do this in order to support my family. The price I charge is just worthy of my labor."
The businessman's words were quite sincere, and Fu Bao was a little moved after hearing them.
But seeing the embarrassment on the businessman's face, she thought for a moment and grabbed Jiang Yuan and walked forward.
"Take us to see your family first." Fu Bao said as he walked.
The businessman was a little stunned. Looking at his family? He murmured... What does this mean? Could it be...
His expression suddenly turned to surprise.
This is Her Royal Highness the Princess. Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess can do anything about her mother's condition?
He hurriedly took Jiang Yuan and Fubao to the thatched house.
