The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"Uncle, if we transport so much volcanic ash, aunt will be happy."

Qin Zhaoyi already had a dark complexion, but after going to Liuzhou in the southwest to suppress a bandit, his tan became even darker, which made his eyes even brighter.

Yan Yang glanced at him with some disgust: "Go back to Yundu."

"I do not!"

Qin Xiaohouye cleared his throat and said, "Don't try to get rid of me this time."

Last time, he led his troops to a triumphant return and went to the palace with Yan Renqing to ask for merit. As a result, his brother-in-law sneaked away to find the eldest princess alone, and also learned the secrets of military garrison and special military training.

"You go back and ask for credit."

"No please! I heard that my aunt led 2000 people from Baidi Prefecture to save danger and punish violence, killing King Qinling's [-] rebels. How majestic and majestic. My nephew is not talented. I want to ask her for advice on the art of war to defeat more with less."

Qin Zhaoyi refused to leave, and he didn't care about the reward for winning the battle. "Besides, uncle, you see how dusty I am, and you want to ask aunt for a piece of soap."

The main thing is to see what the eldest princess wants to do with the volcanic ash.

The brothers dug volcanic ash for five days and were disgraced.My uncle was also very cautious and controlled all the dormant active volcanoes and extinct volcanoes in Liuzhou, leaving a team of soldiers to guard them.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb your solitude."

The young Marquis is obviously not too stupid, and he knows why his uncle dislikes him.

Yan Yang did not allow all Zhenbei troops to enter the city, and most of them camped outside the city to prevent a swarm of swarms from swarming into the city and causing panic among the local people, who thought they were coming to invade.

When I met my fiancée, I was at the Imperial City Soap Factory.

Mu Tingxue was directing a batch of old-fashioned unscented soap, worth about 10 yuan, to be moved out of the warehouse and transported to other places.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid we won't be able to transport anything outside today. Looking at the thick clouds above our heads, I'm afraid it's going to rain." The middle-aged man in charge of soap transportation pointed to the top of his head with a sad look on his face, "I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily."

Mu Tingxue said: "Our boxes of soap are transported with waterproof tarps."

The middle-aged man was obviously very experienced in transportation. He said in a serious tone: "It's not a waterproofing problem, it's a road problem. Ninety percent of the roads leading to other states and counties are dirt roads. If there is no rain, there will be three feet of dirt. If there is rain, it will be covered with dirt." Mud! The mud is still sticky, and the wheels of the car will leave deep ruts when it runs over it. If it rains heavily, the wheels of the car will get stuck in the mud by accident, and the old nose will not be able to push it out, and there will be The cargo collapsed and the soap was consumed."

Mu Tingxue frowned slightly and glanced at the road to the factory entrance.

It's an old dirt road.

He was crushed by a big car.

It has rained countless times in Baidi Prefecture over the years. When a vehicle drives by on a rainy day, it will leave deep imprints.After repeated rolling by the wheels, two ruts with the same width as the wheels will generally be left on the dirt road.Looking from a distance, it looks a bit like a train track.

"It was my negligence. The wooden wheels will become muddy when it rains."

The matter of transporting soap has been put aside for the time being due to road conditions.

Mu Tingxue saw her fiancé standing on the dirt road. She smiled slightly and her eyes softened obviously: "You're here."

Yan Yang adjusted his military uniform and strode into the Imperial City Soap Factory as if he was bewitched. He changed his usual cold and reserved image, and in front of all the soldiers and workers, he took her hand and talked to her. Walking side by side affectionately: "Go home to find you."

The new employees of No. [-] Soap Factory have all seen the eldest princess's thunderous methods these days, but have never seen her show such a gentle and carefree look.There was a lot of chatter.

"What a perfect match."

"It turns out that His Highness also smiles so tenderly. He usually has a stern face and is scary."

"I envy the regent."

……

Envious of having a hammer, the single brothers were overwhelmed by the smell of love. With tears in their eyes, they continued to work in the workshop. Those who boiled lard boiled lard, those who moved lime moved lime, and those who cut soap cut soap.

"Has the banditry in the west been eliminated?"

"Well, the three bandits have been killed and more than 4 people have been captured. The next step is to send new civilian officials to govern Liuzhou." They are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Zhenbei Army.

"It's one thing to defeat it, but it's another problem whether it can be managed well."

Sometimes, bigger territory is not always better.If it cannot be managed, it will be in vain.Mu Tingxue pondered: "It stands to reason that the fields around the volcano are relatively fertile. But the Liu people still couldn't survive and went up the mountain to become bandits in an attempt to overthrow the rule. Then, there is only one explanation - Liuzhou's fields and Most of the resources are controlled by the privileged class.”

This is a historical cycle law.

When a dynasty falls, a new round of land distribution will take place.But as time goes by, local wealthy families will slowly annex farmers' land into their own hands, forming aristocratic families.

If farmers can no longer survive, they will be forced to become bandits or rebel, overthrow dynastic rule, redistribute land, and enter the next cycle.

A cycle lasts approximately 300 years.

Yunhuang is already dying. The Liu people in the west have formed a large-scale banditry and resisted the local rule. This is the end of the cycle.

If Mu Tingxue wants to seize the throne, she must renew the life of the dynasty. If she wants to continue her life, she must deal with the privileged class!

Using both carrot and stick, some of the land was taken out of the mouths of the privileged class and returned to the farmers. At the same time, by opening factories, it provided new livelihoods for the people and curbed the desire of aristocratic families for land.

"Killed two local snakes in Liuzhou."

The regent obviously did not live in Liuzhou for free in the past two or three months. "The Liu family and the Xiong family both have more than [-] slaves and hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. They did not cooperate with me in suppressing bandits, and they discovered it when they were making ice." The saltpeter mine, which is supposed to be state-owned, is secretly controlled by these two companies."

He needed a huge amount of saltpeter to make ice to relieve the soldiers from the heat.

If these two local snakes are not killed, the saltpeter will not be transported out.

The Liu family also gave him eight beauties and huge bribes.Rich Man Liu also arranged a banquet and wanted to marry his daughter to him, but of course he refused. He gave the Zhenbei Army a death order and was not allowed to tell the eldest princess about it.

"No wonder he has been replaced three times in the past two years and has done nothing. He may have been bribed by the wealthy families in Liuzhou."

Mu Tingxue asked, "You beat these two families, how did Tian Tu deal with them?"

"It was given to the tenants and the poor peasants."

The regent said, "The bandits who surrendered were allowed to dig volcanic ash for two months and work as coolies. There was no wages, only a bag of salt per month."

The mining of the three poisonous salt mines is already on track.

The combined output of Maomaoshan Salt Factory, Fengming Valley Salt Factory, and Tianchiling Salt Factory is huge.Not only can the Zhenbei Army use it at will without any shortage of salt, but it can also adequately supply dozens of states and [-] counties in the northern and western parts of the country.

"Salt, like grain, is a small currency."

Mu Tingxue thought he was speaking harshly, "A bag of salt is two kilograms, and the uniform market price of salt is three hundred cash. This is equivalent to your monthly salary of six hundred cash. They take the salt and go to the market, and they can easily I can exchange the land for what I want, rice, flour, cloth, vegetables, pen and ink.”
