Song Jinxiu looked at her younger sister and said, "I might be busy for a while. I'm sorry for the hard work you've put in. I heard that mother gave you the sweater knitting factory. Can you handle it?"

Song Jinfang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, Sister Xiangcao is in charge of the sweater knitting factory. She may be doing it now. I don't have to worry about it at all."

Song Jinxiu rubbed her head and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what birthday gift do you want?"

This child was only ten years old on the sixth day of the second lunar month, and now he has become old-fashioned because of her training. Alas! It is her fault as an older sister.

Song Jinfang blinked and whispered, "I want a pet that's like a fur ball."

Maoqiu? Junjun?

Junjun is a treasure-hunting mouse. In its words, "It is rare in the sky, hard to find on earth, and there is only one of its kind."

"Well, something similar is ok? Like a kitten? Or a puppy?"

"As long as it's as cute as a fur ball." Song Jinfang nodded.

"Okay." Song Jinxiu instructed Junjun: "This task is given to you. If you can't find a suitable one, you can use your Persian cat brother."

Since crossing the bright road, this little fellow has been strolling around the yard. He is also a greedy person. Whenever he sees someone with delicious food, he will bow and beg for food.

It even ran into its mother's yard and saw her making clothes for the unborn baby. It pointed at the clothes and tried to figure them out, asking her for them. This prompted her to make a set for it overnight.

Now that you’re all right, the little girl is thinking about you now, right?

Poverty alleviation and people's security are urgent. When Song Jinxiu saw the people Zhu Beichen brought, she immediately made arrangements.

Whenever there was a shortage of food in a county, people were sent to organize the poor to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land.

Anyone who reclaims wasteland can use food as wages, and women and children can also participate.

She repeatedly stressed that poverty alleviation is the focus, and land reclamation is only auxiliary, so everything must be based on the people's food and clothing.

An inspection team was also set up. All extremely poor households in the village would receive food subsidies, and those with soldiers in their families would be given priority in subsidies.

As for the grain, part of it was bought by Song Jinxiu from grain merchants at a high price, and part of it was naturally obtained by Junjun.

Song Jinxiu set out behind more than a hundred people. Every time she arrived in a state, she would buy a yard as a place to store food.

The treasure-hunting rat Junjun collected grain from grain merchants who maliciously hoarded grain everywhere, while Song Jinxiu distributed grain in various prefectures.

One pulling and the other releasing, the two of them cooperated very well.

Zhu Beichen led his men to the grain distribution locations suggested by Song Jinxiu. While reclaiming wasteland and using grain as wages, they also distributed relief grain to poor households.

There are also affordable grain stores in the state capital, with a purchase limit of two kilograms per person to ensure that people from all walks of life have food to eat.

The people have food to eat, the food is unsalable, and the price of food naturally falls.

But the treasure-hunting rat Junjun did not collect grain randomly. After it took away the warehouse of the unscrupulous grain merchant, it left a string of evidence of the merchant's evil deeds on the wall, which made these unscrupulous grain merchants not only dare not report the lost grain to the police, but also keep it secret and dare not let others know.

Within ten days, Song Jinxiu traveled to twenty-six states and eighteen prefectures, but did not go to Kunzhou.

Through letters from Su Mo and the old patriarch, she learned that the people of Kunzhou were not short of food. The governor of Kunzhou, Liu Nenggan, was a capable and capable official.

Especially with the support of the Songjia Village Oil Press, the people of Kunzhou can be said to live and work in peace and contentment.

Because her mother's due date was in February, Song Jinxiu didn't dare to stay outside and went back home after distributing the food.

She said to Zhu Beichen, "Just tell them to use the grain to open up the wasteland. When the grain runs out, the work will be completed.

After the reclaimed land is sown, it can be handed over to the provincial government or county government for unified management.

Zhu Beichen was stunned. "Princess, are you saying you don't want the reclaimed land? Are you going to give it all to the local government?"

Song Jinxiu nodded, then shook her head and said, "I said, I will give your majesty one hundred thousand hectares of fertile land. These fields belong to your majesty. After three years, when the land is cultivated, the tax revenue can be deposited into your majesty's private treasury."

Zhu Beichen frowned, "But Princess, you invested so much food, I'm afraid it will empty your family's funds, right? How about you keep half?"

Song Jinxiu shook her head: "No, let alone half, even one-third is too much. These fields can only belong to Your Majesty."

She blinked and said, "Even if I spend all my money, I can still make it back. With my ability, making money is a piece of cake. Besides, would Your Majesty let me suffer a loss?"

Hey! You can't say that she didn't spend much money on these grains, right? Moving your legs and moving your mouth is naturally taking from the people and using it for the people.

When there is an opportunity in the future, it would be better to distribute these lands to the people.

Zhu Beichen has been following Song Jinxiu for some time. Although this girl is young, she is full of surprises and miracles happen every day.

He was almost numb.

But today he was shocked again.

With so much grain available at will and so much land gone at will, even he was envious and wanted to have a share.

Zhu Beichen looked at the little girl's majestic and eccentric appearance and bowed deeply to her in admiration. "Sir Song is righteous. The court has you. It is a blessing for Cangwu."

This child truly has a pure heart towards His Majesty and has made great contributions to Cangwu. From now on, apart from His Majesty, he, Zhu Beichen, will only follow the lead of Princess Kangle.

After explaining all the affairs, Song Jinxiu returned home, and Zhu Beichen went to the government offices of various prefectures to greet them in person. This was His Majesty's land, and the government offices would certainly do their best to serve him.

On the 29th day of the first lunar month, Prince Yin of Liangzhou submitted a memorial stating that he had been injured while organizing the people to fight the enemy. Due to the poverty of Liangzhou and the hot and humid climate, his wound had not healed well. He requested to return to the capital for treatment and hoped that Your Majesty would grant his request.

Your Majesty has approved it.

On the ninth day of the second month, the Spring Examination that Zhang Zihan had been looking forward to was not affected by the war and began as scheduled.

The Spring Examination is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days.

Song Jinxiu happened to return to Beijing on this day. As the chief doctor of mathematics in the Imperial College, she had the honor of seeing the real appearance of this ancient imperial examination hall.

The walls of the Imperial Examination Hall were tall, but the examination halls were very simple.

Each person's examination place is very small. Here, the single room for calling numbers is five feet long, four feet wide and eight feet high.

Candidates are searched before entering and are given three candles each. The door is immediately locked after entering. Candidates answer questions inside and rest inside at night.

After watching the candidates enter the examination room and the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall closed, Song Jinxiu went home and fell asleep immediately.

His Majesty granted her three days' leave.

royal palace,

Liu Renxiu looked at the latest memorials submitted by various prefectures and was very pleased.

Eunuch Hai was even more amazed, "Princess Kangle has so many new ideas. In previous years, when we provided disaster relief, we used the grain in the national treasury to distribute to the people.

But Princess Kangle not only distributed food, but also exchanged it for large tracts of land.

Your Majesty, I am not very smart and don't know how big this ten thousand hectares is. But think about it, when the flowers bloom and the spring breeze blows, when you look over, all you can see are crops! It will be wonderful.

As he spoke, Eunuch Hai's eyes turned red.

His family was poor, so his parents sent him to the palace in exchange for three buckets of grain.

If Princess Kangle had been there, would he not have had to enter the palace and could have lived a normal life?

Liu Renxiu also sighed: "Yes, it's great to see crops everywhere."
