Quick Wear: After the spare tire awakens, the official partner is sacrificed to the heaven

After arriving in Minzhou, Jiang Zui turned to Ji Guimu and asked, "Do you have a place to stay here?!"

"Your Highness, I came here in a hurry, so... I don't have a place to stay yet." Ji Guimu's eyes were full of anticipation.

"In that case, then... I'll have someone arrange a place for you that's closer to the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Guimu's mouth twitched suddenly, and he said, "Your Highness, I... don't have to spend the money.

There is a lot of space in the palace, so any place will do.

I just want a place to stay.”

Jiang Zui heard the deep meaning in Ji Guimu's words, his eyes flashed, and he held back a smile, pretending to hesitate: "But... you are my subordinate, I... how can I wrong you like this?!"

Ji Guimu waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "Your Highness, I am not wronged, I really am not wronged."

Jiang Zui pretended to be troubled for a moment and said, "Well... if that's the case, then fine.

You can stay in the palace first. Once you are settled, I will arrange a good place for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ji Guimu was in a hurry when he came out and brought very little with him.

But as long as Jiang Zui is here, I will never miss the return of the east and west at dusk.

Throughout the Prince Rui's Mansion, Jiang Zui allowed Ji Guimu to choose where to live.

Jiang Zui waved his hand and said, "Where do you want to live? Choose a courtyard for yourself."

"What if I want to live with Your Highness?" Ji Guimu asked tentatively.

Jiang Zui smiled and said, "You want to live with me?!"

"Is it not possible?!"

"Of course not." Jiang Zui refused seriously: "I like living with outsiders."

outsider? !

In Jiang Zui's heart, he was still just an outsider? !

Ji Guimu frowned and said angrily: "So, in your Highness's heart, I am just an outsider?!"

Jiang Zui opened his pupils wide, his eyes full of innocence and confusion, and said bluntly: "What else?!"

Hearing this, Ji Guimu clenched his hands in his sleeves, his body trembled, and then quickly recovered and pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, your highness is right."

"Then I'll go to Qingzhuyuan."

Qingzhuyuan is right next to the main courtyard and is the closest place to the main courtyard.

"Okay." Jiang Zui replied casually, "Remember to tell the housekeeper."

After that, Jiang Zui set his sights on improving the people's livelihood in Minzhou.

Jiang Zui and Ji Guimu went out to visit.

Minzhou is neither big nor small.

Minzhou is divided into three cities and twelve counties.

Among them, Qingcheng, where Jiang Zui is located, is the largest city and the one closest to the enemy country.

Jiang Zui and Ji Guimu first observed the life in the city.

There are only a few shops in the city, and the faces of the people are pale and weak, as if they have lost all life.

The two sides of the road were full of dead branches and rotten leaves, presenting a desolate and desolate scene.

Ji Guimu had never been to Minzhou. Although he had heard that Minzhou was very poor, he didn't know it was so poor.

Ji Guimu looked at a loss, and whispered: "Your Highness, Minzhou also..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Zui interrupted him and asked, "What?!

Can't accept it?!"

"No!" Ji Guimu was stunned and said seriously: "I...I just feel sorry for Your Highness."

Sent to this place.

They are obviously the emperor's sons, why is His Highness like this?

Even though he is the second prince, his fiefdom is pretty good.

"Don't worry, we'll take it slow. The more difficult something is, the more challenging it will be."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just...I need your help."

"Your Highness, why do you say that? I will do my best." Ji Guimu promised: "If your Highness has anything to say, just tell me."

Jiang Zui's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm lucky to have you as my military advisor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Guimu's cheeks turned red.

This is... quite embarrassing.

Ji Guimu's imagination was too much. Jiang Zui looked at Ji Guimu's expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself:

His wife is pretty... good at self-management.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Jiang Zui coughed and said, "Okay, the most important thing right now is to let the people get through the cold winter."

"Cold winter?!" Ji Guimu frowned and asked in confusion: "Winter is over, isn't it? Spring is almost here."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zui's eyes flashed with surprise, and he thought to himself:

Depend on!

He forgot!

This winter is exceptionally cold, colder than in previous years.

This temperature is expected to continue for another month or two.

However, just after the bad weather disappeared, natural disasters came one after another. A large number of crops were frozen, and then there was a famine. There was no harvest, and the people were in great distress.

The rest of the countries took this opportunity to attack by surprise.

Several princes of Jiang State started a dispute to fight for the throne.

Bandits from all over the place also occupied hilltops and territories.

In less than a year, the country fell into chaos.

Jiang Zui explained: "So what do you think of the weather now?"

Suddenly, Ji Guimu was silent for a long time and said, "It's almost March, but the weather is still as cold as winter.

Your Highness thought..."

Jiang Zui still understood the meaning of the words before he finished speaking, and said, "Yes, this year's winter is exceptionally long. Have you noticed the crops in the fields? If the crops are damaged, the people of Minzhou will probably be sad."

"It is a blessing for the people that Your Highness thinks so highly of them."

Jiang Zui first looked for a coal mine in Minzhou, and then asked people to mine and use coal to survive. He also taught people how to build kangs, boil water for heating, and use coal in combination.

There was little grain in Minzhou, but fortunately Jiang Zui asked the prime minister to collect grain secretly in advance.

Jiang Zui not only developed coal mines, he also mined iron ore and privately made weapons.

Most of Jiang State's current weapons are made of copper, with a very small number made of iron.

Ironware crafting is difficult and cannot be mass-produced, but... Jiang Zui has the craftsmanship to make ironware.

But the grain purchased secretly was not enough to satisfy Jiang Zui.

So Jiang Zui turned his attention to the State of Qi in the west.

The grain output of Qi State was not very large, but it had a large number of cattle and sheep.

Wool can be made into cold-weather clothing.

Jiang Zui also secretly purchased a large number of war horses from the other party.

Jiang Zui lasted for more than a month with the food he bought, and then he found high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn from the system space.

I believe that with these foods, he will be able to gain a foothold in the future troubled times.

During this period, Jiang Zui and Ji Guimu were so busy that they didn't even have time to chat alone.

Jiang Zui has a lot of people under his command, but Ji Guimu is very hardworking. As long as Jiang Zui gives an order, he will rush to the front line.

Ji Guimu already had work in the iron mine and coal mine, and he clearly didn't have the time to do it, but he still wanted to act tough.

Jiang Zui couldn't bear to see his wife suffer, so he only arranged easier work for her.

In Ji Guimu's opinion, Jiang Zui did not trust him and would rather give the work at hand to others than to himself.
