Sister Han is good at farming

Nothing happened that night. In the early morning, when Ruan Qingqing was doing morning exercises, Zhuge Hong was hesitating outside the yard.

"Mr. Ge, is there anything I can help you with?" Ruan Qingqing, wearing a simple sports outfit, ran to the entrance of the yard and greeted him through the gate.

Zhuge Hong's face was filled with worry, his white eyebrows knitted again and again, "Master, Yun Qing and I were already at loggerheads, so we shouldn't bother you with this matter anymore. But Moliang has surrendered, and if we don't solve the problem of Moliang's internal food self-sufficiency as soon as possible, relying solely on the relief of our three cities, I'm afraid there will be disaster!"

"Mulliang is mostly grassland. It's not realistic to use it all to grow food. If they don't grow food, they won't have enough to eat if they just graze. I plan to adapt to local conditions. I will keep part of the grassland as it is but reclaim the other part to grow crops, combining agriculture and animal husbandry."

Ruan Qingqing made a decision quickly.

"Sir, what do you plan to let the people in Moliang grow? It is said that they don't have abundant water resources." Zhuge Hong was still a little worried.

Ruan Qingqing pondered for a while, "Oats, wheat, corn, soybeans, etc. can all be planted! We will have a meeting after breakfast about this matter. I will tell Murong Mei the details, and the Agricultural Affairs Hall will also send some people to guide the Moliang people on farming matters."

Zhuge Hong sighed softly, "It's good that you have a plan in mind, sir! I am worried that we will face a standoff with Yun Qing soon. If the livelihood issues of Mo Liang are not properly handled, it will be even worse for our three cities and Mo Men."

"Mr. Ge doesn't need to worry about this, and Yun Qing doesn't need to worry either. We can't fight." Ruan Qingqing said confidently.

Zhuge Hong's eyes sparkled, "Master, have you already thought of a way to deal with this?"

"I'll tell you in detail later in the meeting." Ruan Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

In Yunqing's court, all the ministers were seated in Fenghua Hall for the morning court session.

"Father, I beg you to withdraw the decision to exchange 100,000 light cavalry to guard the northwest border. The spring ploughing season is approaching, and the people have been plundered of everything due to heavy taxes. Many people have no seeds for ploughing. I suggest opening the warehouse to deliver seeds to ensure that the spring ploughing season goes smoothly for all the people in Yunqing!"

Zhou Zheng was the first to step forward and make a presentation.

As soon as he finished speaking, an official stepped forward to refute him: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! That group of Mohists has been hovering over the three cities of Bale and others. In less than two years, they have turned the barren land into the south of the Yangtze River. Now they have even conquered Moliang, and their sphere of influence is expanding rapidly. As a neighboring country, if we don't strengthen our defenses, won't we be like fish on the chopping board, at their mercy?"

"Prevention? They didn't even want to attack us, Censor Wang, what are we trying to prevent? For this so-called prevention, we have wasted our time and money, and are almost delaying the spring ploughing of the people! Are you going to do something so self-destructive in Yunqing?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at Wang Ziqing sharply.

Wang Ziqing was so angry that his beard stood up. "Second Prince, what makes you so sure that the Mohists won't attack us? This is not a game. We can't believe in such wishful thinking."

"If Ruan Qingqing and her group were interested in conquering cities, they would have done it long ago when she led 60 soldiers to break into the court of Moliang. Why wait until now? They are able to lead 60 people in and out of the court without any harm, and can even force the eldest prince in the court to kowtow and apologize in front of the graves of her soldiers. Don't they have the ability to conquer Moliang? Not to mention that Moliang is trying hard to submit to them!"

"This doesn't mean they won't attack Yunqing in the future!" Wang Ziqing snorted as he flicked his sleeves. "Border defense is no joke. No matter how much defense we put in, it's never too much!"

"This year, the people of the country have saved money and managed to gather enough food and grass, but what about next year? What about the year after? For the so-called protection, the people don't have to live?" Zhou Zheng asked in a stern voice. His voice was so loud that it floated back and forth in the hall, and the lingering sound lingered.

"You!" Wang Ziqing's old eyes widened into toad eyes.

"Okay! Censor Wang is a bit cautious, but he has no selfish motives. Zheng'er, why do you have to be so aggressive?" The emperor sitting on the throne let out a light sigh.

"Father, this is not being aggressive. We say that we are taking precautions against possible dangers by deploying heavy troops at the border, but what will others think? This is a naked provocation to them!" Zhou Zheng said earnestly.

"What's wrong with provocation? It's better for us to take the initiative and seize the opportunity than to passively accept the attack!" Wang Ziqing still firmly believes in his point of view.

"Take the initiative to attack?" Zhou Zheng was so angry that he laughed. "Do you think that you can win the battle with your eloquence? Don't forget who is the current garrison commander of Xiyu Pass and Jialing Pass? Sending troops to the three cities of Bale and others for no reason and attacking their sisters, will they agree? Your reckless behavior will only bring Yunqing into an irretrievable situation!"

"Since I dare to increase the number of troops at the border, how could I not take such a situation into consideration?" Zhou Che stepped out slowly.

Zhou Zheng turned his head and looked at him, "What did you do again?"

"All members of the Ruan family will be used as slaves in the royal estate." Zhou Che said as he flicked the non-existent dust off his official uniform.

Zhou Zheng threw the ivory tablet in his hand to the ground, grabbed Zhou Che's front, and asked with gritted teeth, "How dare you? Not to mention that the Ruan family has made a significant contribution to the increase in grain production in Yunqing, just based on the unparalleled contributions that the three brothers Ruan Shiping, Ruan Shimeng and Ruan Shifu have made for our Yunqing on the border, we cannot touch them and their people. You actually used their people as slaves for the royal manor!"

"How dare you! This is Fenghua Palace, not a vegetable market! Zhou Zheng, watch your words and actions!" The emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, slammed the memorial in his hand on the desk and shouted loudly.

Zhou Zheng turned to look at his father in disbelief, and asked him with red eyes, "Father, is this what you meant?"

The emperor pursed his lips and looked at him indifferently.

"Really!" Zhou Zheng understood and let go of the hand that was grabbing Zhou Che's front, and took a few steps back in despair. "You are crazy, all of you are crazy! You are so unscrupulous in order to eliminate the so-called hidden danger in your heart. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers!"

"How dare you!" The emperor slammed his hand on the desk, "Zhou Zheng, are you trying to rebel?"

"Father, you are confused!" Zhou Zheng looked at his father with great sorrow and felt extremely disappointed.

"Someone, come here, the second prince has lost his mind, take him away! Let him reflect on his mistakes in the palace for half a year!" The emperor didn't even look at him and gave the order directly.

"Yes!" The guards came to the palace.

This is a direct attempt to imprison Zhou Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

When Fu Yuanhao, Yuan Pingzhang, Wang Sibo, Zhao Zhen, Shi Anzhi, Yan Yikuan and others saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to plead for Zhou Zheng.

"Anyone who pleads for the second prince will have his official position taken away and never employed again!" the emperor said in a loud voice.

"I beg the emperor to revoke his order!" Fu Yuanhao gritted his teeth and repeated it again and again while kneeling straight.

Yuan Pingzhang looked back at his old father, closed his eyes, and said loudly: "I beg the emperor to take back his order!"

"Please the emperor take back my life!"

As soon as Yuan Pingzhang's voice fell, Wang Sibo and others shouted in unison.

"Good! Good! You are all fine!"
