There is a strange beauty in Qingzhou City in the red brilliance, and after enjoying a sumptuous dinner in the palace, Xiao Ming returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.

It was only at noon the next day that he got up lazily.

The days of struggle have to continue, but they are not as urgent as before, at least Xiao Ming's mood has relaxed a lot after there are no barbarians outside the city.

In the following days, he could finally build his fief easily and comfortably, and of course, his current fief also included Youzhou.

Washing and scrubbing, except for the dormitory, at this time Xiao Ming was told that Pang Yukun was already waiting for him in the main hall.

Xiao Ming was a little incredible, if this Pang Changshi had been before, he would have woken himself up outside the door, this was really the sun coming out of the west.

"Your Highness."

In the main hall, Pang Yukun had a faint smile on his face, and when he saw Xiao Ming, he saluted respectfully.

Today he deliberately did not disturb Xiao Ming's rest, the war in the past three months has made Xiao Ming very tired from running around, and he really can't bear it.

He followed Xiao Ming step by step to today, witnessing Xiao Ming's transformation from a dissolute vassal king to being able to drive the barbarians out of the customs now.

The changes in his heart during this period of time have long made him sincerely convinced of Xiao Ming, and the tempering of these days has also made him gradually stop being as cynical as before.

What he wanted was now becoming a reality, and Xiao Ming was no longer a person who needed his supervision.

"Pang Changshi came by coincidence, and this king is also preparing to look for you." Xiao Ming sat down on the chair, and the maidservant brought a cup of tea.

"Your Highness is talking about Youzhou, the lower officials have already heard about it." Pang Yukun said that he was naturally clear about the commotion of the businessmen at the gate of the Qi Wangfu.

Xiao Ming nodded, "This time it was the battle of Jizhou, and then the recovery of Qingzhou, during this period, many merchants provided a lot of materials for the Northern Expedition, and now it is time to return it to them, so that the king can raise more silver in the next war. ”

Pang Yukun didn't sleep peacefully for a few days because of the recovery of Yanyun's sixteen states, he said: "Your Highness, Xia Guan was already thinking about this matter when His Royal Highness went to Shanhaiguan, and the spoils of war this time can't be given to these merchants, whether it's war horses, cattle and sheep, or brute bags, these things are useful to us, so Xia Guan thought that they only gave them pasture, and stipulated that they must raise horses on the pasture." ”

After a pause, Pang Yukun said: "The barbarians swept the world with cavalry, this is exactly where the Great Yu Country is not reached, and after the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Great Chongqing Country has no good horses available, this is all because there is no high-quality grassland, so Your Highness, take this opportunity to vigorously develop horse politics in Youzhou, the barbarians were just driven out of the pass, but the national strength of the barbarians is still strong, and it must not be taken lightly." ”

Xiao Ming nodded slowly, and Pang Yukun's words reached Xiao Ming's heart.

He said: "You are right, the Silk Road is still under the control of the barbarians, we are now just cowering within the Great Wall, it is difficult to completely defeat the barbarians without enough cavalry, and if the barbarians are not eliminated one day, this is the great disaster in the north." ”

"That's exactly what happened." Pang Yukun laughed, "And in addition to the grassland, His Highness can also transfer a part of the disaster victims to Youzhou to specialize in planting potatoes, peanuts, corn, peppers, the people of Qingzhou are unwilling to plant potatoes, these disaster victims have no land, in order to get the land, they will not refuse." ”

"The people refuse to grow potatoes?"

Xiao Ming suddenly remembered that it seemed that potatoes should also be planted.

Pang Yukun nodded, "Xiaguan was just about to talk to His Highness about this, originally Xiaguan was going to force the people to take out a part of the land to plant potatoes, after all, if potatoes are so high-yielding, no matter how many people can afford it, but now His Highness has collected more than 500,000 victims from Jizhou, and now there is a large area of land in Youzhou, isn't this just the right to distribute the land to the victims for them to plant?" Otherwise, it is okay to force the people to plant, but it will inevitably cause gossip among the people at that time. ”

Xiao Ming smiled helplessly.

In fact, when potatoes first arrived in Europe, they were disliked, and even considered a kind of hoodoo, and European farmers refused to grow them, after all, no one would risk starving to grow a crop that they had never seen before.

It was only later that there was a great famine in France, and at this time, a pharmacist who preferred potatoes took the opportunity to vigorously promote the high yield and deliciousness of potatoes in France, so the hungry and crazy French began to compete for planting, saving a large number of hungry people.

Since then, potatoes have been valued by European powers, and domestic farmers have been forced to grow some potatoes.

Now Xiao Ming obviously suffered from this embarrassing situation, but he came from later generations, and naturally firmly believed in the importance of potatoes to the fiefdom.

He said: "In this case, select a part of the disaster victims to go to Youzhou to reclaim the land, and Youzhou City itself has 200,000 people, this number is enough, and when the potatoes are ripe in the first season, this king will let the people compete to plant potatoes in the second year." ”

"There are still 200,000 victims in Youzhou?" Pang Yukun was a little surprised.

"Exactly, so this king wants you to go to Youzhou, establish the government of Youzhou, and distribute the land to the people by the way."

Now that Youzhou is in his pocket, he naturally wants to extend his rule there.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is what the lower officials are best at." Pang Yukun said with a smile.

Now that Xiao Ming's fief has doubled, there is no reason to be happy as a courtier.

"In that case, you will be responsible for the affairs of the victims and Youzhou, and this king will summon these businessmen to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to discuss the affairs of the grassland."

Then he said: "By the way, the victims who came back from the escort this time are all rebels, how have you handled it during this time." ”

"All those who have broken the law have been put to death, and those who have left behind are innocent people who have dragged their families with them." Pang Yukun said with a straight face, this matter is very serious, and he can't come nonsense.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming said: "The Green Dragon King still doesn't know where to flee, so these victims must be cleared, so as not to be stirred up by some of them who are loyal to the Green Dragon King." ”

It's not that Xiao Ming is cold-blooded, after all, this matter involves the safety of the fiefdom.

If there is an ill-intentioned person who takes the opportunity to cause trouble, then it will be his people who will be killed or injured.

Pang Yukun nodded again.

The two talked about Youzhou and the victims, and talked about some government affairs of the fiefdom, and Pang Yukun left satisfied.

And Xiao Ming was preparing to talk to the businessmen about this Youzhou.

This time, the grassland in Youzhou is very large, not only to give them back, but he is also going to sell some to them, he has a preliminary idea, ready to focus on the construction of agriculture and animal husbandry industry in Youzhou.

He was thinking about it when Aster suddenly walked in and said, "Your Highness, Bowen Academy has sent people, and they say that a hydrogen balloon has been made. (To be continued.) )
