It's not that Jin Feng doesn't trust Tang Xiaobei, but that he is in a high position now and every decision he makes will affect many people.
Jin Feng's advantage lies in industry and the time traveler's foresight for the future. He has no experience at all in this kind of policy that requires concrete implementation.
Jin Feng could make decisions directly, such as building a dock and setting up a salvage team, because he was confident that he would use these projects to bring tangible benefits to the people.
Tang Xiaobei's proposal just now is not only related to the ruling policy of the imperial court, but also related to the life and death of countless people in Jiangnan and the Central Plains. If anything goes wrong, it may cause large-scale disasters, so Jin Feng has to be cautious.
So I decided to write a letter back first and tell the Ninth Princess, and then let the Privy Council discuss it and make a decision after confirming that it is feasible.
After returning to his residence, Jin Feng immediately got into the study and wrote a letter to the Ninth Princess, telling him about the scale of kelp on Maolang Island and the plan Tang Xiaobei had just mentioned.
It is a long distance from the East China Sea to Sichuan and Shu. Letters and official documents here are usually brought back by the speedboats that deliver newspapers when they return.
After Jin Feng arrived, the frequency of speedboat trips was several times higher than before, but it was usually only once a day.
But today's matter was so important that Jin Feng couldn't wait until the next morning to join everyone. After writing the letter, he asked Iron Hammer to arrange for the speedboat to set off immediately.
For safety reasons, speedboats generally do not travel at night. It was already past noon when this speedboat set off. According to time calculation, it can only deliver the letter to Jiangnan before dark, and the letter cannot be returned until the afternoon or evening of the next day.
Sichuan and Shu.
However, the speedboat driver learned that the letter was an urgent letter written by Jin Feng himself, so he did not stop the boat to rest that night. After replenishing fuel at the supply station in Jiangnan, he rushed to Sichuan overnight and delivered the letter to Jinchuan Pier at dawn.
When the escort on duty at the pier heard that it was a letter written by Jin Feng, he rushed it back. He did not dare to be careless and immediately arranged for an airship to be sent back to Xihewan. He also bypassed the Privy Council and sent it directly to the headquarters of the Zhongming Group where Xiaoyu was located.
.
Xiaoyu worked until midnight last night. She had just gotten up and was about to go to the study room to send the information compiled last night to the Ninth Princess for approval, when she saw the deputy enter the room with Jin Feng's autographed letter.
"Team leader, this is an urgent handwritten letter sent by sir!"
"Let me see!"
Xiaoyu put down what she was doing and took the envelope.
The words "Wuyang personally express" were written on the envelope. Xiaoyu did not dare to open it without authorization. After confirming that it was Jin Feng's handwriting and seal, she ignored other information and went straight to Jin Feng's house with the letter.
Before the Ninth Princess came, Xiaoyu had been a frequent visitor to the courtyard, and she and Qing Mulan would come to have dinner together when they had nothing to do.
But after the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, she rarely came to the courtyard directly. If she had anything to do, she would go to Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess to inform them normally.
There was something urgent today, so she said hello to the female escort guarding the door and went straight into the house.
"Hey Xiaoyu, I haven't been here for a long time. Come on, come in and try the new dishes that the master brought from the East China Sea. It's delicious!"
Guan Xiaorou had just come out of the back room with her child in her arms. When she saw Xiaoyu, she was stunned for a moment, and then she warmly invited Xiaoyu to the restaurant for dinner.
"Sister Xiaorou, I have already eaten." Xiaoyu waved her hand: "Sir, here is an urgent letter. I want to see His Majesty."
After hearing that the matter was related to Jin Feng, Guan Xiaorou did not dare to be careless and quickly took Xiaoyu to the restaurant.
In the courtyard, Princess Ninth had just woken up. She had just arrived at the restaurant and was about to eat when she saw Guan Xiaorou leading Xiaoyu in.
Ninth Princess knew that if there was no emergency, Xiaoyu would not come to her at this time.
So he put down his chopsticks and looked up at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu didn't show off, she simply saluted, and then took out Jin Feng's letter from her arms: "Your Majesty, sir, you sent someone to deliver an urgent letter!"
Pearl took the envelope and handed it to Princess Ninth with both hands.
Princess Ninth first looked at the handwriting, then checked the paint, and then opened the envelope.
After Jin Feng went to the East China Sea, he wrote letters back almost every day. Guan Xiaorou didn't take it seriously at first, but she noticed that the Ninth Princess's expression became more and more strange, and she became curious.
He took the child out and gave it to the nanny. When he came back, he found that the ninth princess had read the letter, so he curiously asked: "Wuyang, what's wrong?"
"Sister, look!"
The Ninth Princess said and handed the letter to Guan Xiaorou.
The letters between Jin Feng and Ninth Princess involved a lot of political affairs. Normally, Guan Xiaorou would not take the initiative to read the letters between them, but this time she was really curious and reached out to take them.
"Looking from the air, you can't even see the edge with a telescope... A conservative estimate is that it will be enough to feed all the people in Guangyuan County for several years, or even more!"
Guan Xiaorou read the contents of the letter with shock in her eyes: "Is there so much kelp in the East China Sea?"
"My husband said that the sea area is very suitable for the growth of kelp, and it is the nest of pirates. Fishermen never dare to approach Maolang Island easily, and they did not know that kelp can be eaten, so the kelp in that area has grown wildly for many years, and the reserves are very rich!
"
The Ninth Princess couldn't help but sigh: "My husband is right, this is a gift from nature. With this batch of kelp, I don't know how many people can be saved!"
The two were talking, and Guan Xiaorou saw the second half of the letter, about Tang Xiaobei's proposal.
"Wuyang, what do you think of Xiaobei's proposal?" Guan Xiaorou asked.
"Judging from my husband's description, this proposal is very good, but this matter is of great importance. It may make the chaos in Jiangnan and the Central Plains even more serious. I have to think about it carefully and then discuss it with Master Tie, Master Lu and others."
The Ninth Princess said: "But no matter what, the fact that the kelp reserves in the East China Sea are so abundant is great news. God bless me with great prosperity!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that no one in the East China Sea eats such delicious kelp!"
Speaking of kelp, Guan Xiaorou was filled with emotion: "Fortunately, my boss went to the East China Sea and discovered kelp, otherwise kelp would still be treated as a weed and soaked in the sea!"
As the Emperor of Dakang, Ninth Princess has a lot of official documents and letters every day.
Normal letters to the Ninth Princess are usually sent to the Zhongming Group first. After being selected and classified by the Zhongming Group, the important parts are packaged and sent to the Privy Council. The Privy Council copies them, and then they are sorted and sent to the Ninth Princess for review.
Of course, Jin Feng's letters are not included in this list. His letters are all sent directly to Princess Ninth, Guan Xiaorou and others.
So not many people in Xihewan know about kelp now, but Xiaoyu, as the person in charge of intelligence, knows about it.
Because she had seen the official document about Jin Feng's intention to establish a marine management department.
Jin Feng mentioned kelp many times in official documents, but Xiaoyu never saw the real thing.
Now when I heard Guan Xiaorou talk about it again and the ninth princess said it was delicious, I couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, sister, is the kelp really delicious?"
