The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"We are businessmen from the capital, and we want to come to Yanjing to see if there is any business we can do."

Emperor Wende did not want to reveal his identity, so he signaled Jiang Debao not to speak, and he responded to the old man himself.

"That's it!"

The old man was a little disappointed. It turned out that he was not coming to settle in Yanjing!

However, thinking of Xie Yiyao's words, he continued to entertain them warmly, even if they were businessmen, and promoted Yanjing for them.

Can it expand their Yanjing's what? Oh, yes, the popularity!

"Old man, I want to ask why it is so warm in here?"

Emperor Wende finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha~, you're talking about this, look at those pipes and touch them with your hands!"

The old man looked at Emperor Wende calmly and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers all walked towards the peculiarly shaped pipe and touched it.

“Hot!”

“This pipe is actually hot!”

“There’s actually a canal here!”

“There are fish in here!”

Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, and swallowed his saliva after speaking!

He hasn't eaten fish for a long time, he wants to drink fish soup!

Su Yunyi looked at all this with disdain. It was just a trifle, nothing more than raising fish in a rice field!

She knew it too, but she just hadn't thought of it yet!

"You built all these pipes and canals?"

Emperor Wende was shocked. The wisdom of the common people is truly endless!

"Hahaha! We can't read a single word and can only dig for food in the ground. Who would be able to do this? These were all built by people sent by our technical director, Lord Gu Yubai!"

The contents recorded on the paper posted at the door of the greenhouse were all prepared for Lord Gu.

He usually records this information so that when the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess arrive, they can know the growth of crops in our village at a glance.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, judging by the growth of your crops, there should be quite a bit left after paying the taxes!"

An official said as he looked thoughtfully at the vast tracts of farmland.

He had already started thinking about whether he should write a memorial to increase the tax rate for the people in Yanjing.

After all, they were able to grow such farmland thanks to the help of the imperial court. Besides, they, the lowly people, could not keep too much food in their hands. When people are well fed and warm, they will indulge in debauchery. If the common people are too rich, things will easily get into trouble!

The old man didn't expect that the man who looked so smiling actually had such a dark side in his heart, and he replied with a smile:

"The Crown Prince is merciful. He ordered that refugees like us who came to Yanjing to reclaim wasteland do not have to pay taxes for 10 years. After 10 years, we only need to pay % of the grain!"

"What! No taxes for 10 years!"

The officials looked at Emperor Wende in shock. Isn’t the prince just fooling around?

Emperor Wende looked at the endless farmland and asked:

"Then the court built greenhouses for you and assigned officials to manage the farmland. Isn't that a big loss?"

"Hahaha~, we have to pay for this greenhouse and the officials sent by the court. Every household has to pay about one or two taels a year. We calculated that it's nothing compared to the money we get from selling the crops when they're ripe!"

The old man was still cheerful. When he thought of what the Crown Princess said about the price the government would pay for grain after the harvest, he wished he could reclaim more wasteland!

This is all money!

But their energy is limited, so they can only cultivate so much land.

Suddenly, the old man had an idea. If he had more children, he could reclaim more wasteland.

Yes! Yes! He will hold a village meeting after he returns to the village!

The Crown Princess said that the whole country is short of food now, and the food they grow will be easy to sell!

Emperor Wende made a rough calculation and found that this was actually not much different from taxation.

The most important thing is that after 10 years, it would be equivalent to having two taxes, and the court would make money no matter how you look at it. So the expression on his face eased a lot. It was truly a win-win policy that benefited the country and the people!

The prince is indeed the son of destiny that Master Xuankong mentioned, who can make great achievements for the great Deng Dynasty!

The more Emperor Wende thought about it, the more obvious the smile on his face became!

Feng Junqi only felt that Emperor Wende's smile was particularly dazzling. He had been trained as the crown prince for many years and naturally understood the benefits of this measure, which not only won the hearts of the people but also filled the national treasury!

Emperor Wende and a group of ministers, led by the old man, wandered around the farmland for a while before leaving with a sense of reluctance.

"If you keep going forward for about 70 or 80 miles, you will reach Yanjing City. That is the real land of wealth and prosperity! I guarantee that you will not want to leave once you get there!"

The old man enthusiastically escorted Emperor Wende to the door of the greenhouse, still muttering about the good things about Yanjing and how their Crown Prince and Crown Princess loved the people like their own children and had a heart of compassion!

They were so enthusiastic that people who didn’t know would think they had encountered human traffickers!

“The people here are so welcoming!”

After walking a long way, Lord Zhou finally came to his senses and said.

He had never imagined that ordinary people's faces would have such rich and colorful expressions.

In his impression, the expressions of the common people were numb, sad, and fearful.

He never imagined that one day his knowledge would be less than that of an ordinary farmhand!

Such a shock made him suddenly doubt himself, and he even had a vague intuition that the era of their aristocratic families seemed to have passed.

Great Deng will usher in a new era. If the aristocratic families still stick to their old ways, they will be eliminated by the new era and disappear in the long river of history...

"Yes! The people here are very enthusiastic and supportive of their rulers."

Emperor Wende murmured to himself, he knew very well that he could not make the people support him so wholeheartedly.

Compared to the prince, he seems to be much worse...

Although it was still seventy or eighty miles away from Yanjing, the road was very flat, so the carriage was not only much faster on it, but also not bumpy at all.

It would have taken them a whole day to travel the distance, but they arrived at the city of Yanjing in just one hour!

Emperor Wende got off the carriage and looked at the city walls that were more majestic and grand than those of the capital, and a strange light burst out in his eyes!

His son is truly a genius in governing the world!

Feng Junqi was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he looked at the city gate of Yanjing City. The city gate of Yanjing City was much higher than that of his Gu City!

He glanced at Su Yunyi with anger in his eyes. This woman is really useless!

Su Yunyi obviously felt Feng Junqi's gaze, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

This Xie Yiyao is simply sick. Why build such a high city wall!

As a time-travelling woman, shouldn't she want to go out and conquer the world?

She was actually building a city wall. Did she want to hide in Yanjing City like a turtle?

It's such a disgrace to these time-traveling women!

With all the knowledge of modern advanced civilization, she just used it to stay isolated instead of unifying the world. I really don't know what's in her mind!

Unifying China is the dream of so many people!

At the same time, on the city gate tower.

A guard was holding a telescope and watching Emperor Wende and his entourage.

"There's something wrong with this caravan!"

"These guards look like they are from a martial arts family. They are all excellent riders, and their horses are all fine war horses."

"And the man in the front has wolf-like eyes and is obviously not a good person! Go and report to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess!"

Emperor Wende: ...

Why am I not a good person?
