The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Liu Jiaqi nodded and said:

"Yes, in that group, besides a few skilled guys, there was also a county magistrate and a chief clerk.

Wang Shimin has been put on trial in the palace for these days, and his abilities are quite good."

King Huai replied, "Tell Wang Shimin to pay more attention to him and explore his special talents. Don't let this talent go unnoticed!"

Liu Jiaqi responded seriously and continued:

“Your Majesty, the stores in various counties have made good sales this quarter, but glass products account for more than 60% of the sales.

Although stores in various counties focus on recommending cement to the people, ordinary people still think it is too expensive.

The few that were sold were basically sold to local wealthy businessmen and powerful people.

They mostly bought it out of respect for the people we had planted in the counties."

As he said this, he smiled rarely and said:

"Strangely enough, the Yining County store reported that someone had purchased a batch of cement from the store.

The information reported was that it was bought by a young girl from the group of people who escaped from Yidu County."

King Huai asked curiously:

"Little girl? Can a little girl call the shots at home?

He also bought so much cement to build the house, which shows his courage.

Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious about the people in this team!

In two days, after I finish this course of medicine, I will go to the school behind to take a look."

Liu Jiaqi looked at the prince's face, a little worried, but still continued:

"Your Highness should focus on taking care of your health. When you go there sometime, you can just stop by and take a look.

Your health is more important than anything else, people..."

Just as he was about to continue, he was interrupted by King Huai and had to continue reporting:

“In addition, nine merchant caravans from the prefectural capital have returned from all over the country.

According to your instructions, each caravan took out glass and other goods, and brought back only food.

According to statistics, our current food reserves are enough to feed the people of the entire fiefdom for three years!"

After hearing this, King Huai did not look happy.

Thinking about the damn Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I can't help but say:

“It’s not enough, keep stockpiling food.

The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and it is a good time to increase the population of our fiefdom.

Please prepare more food for me and keep the food prices stable!

With enough food to survive, there is no need to worry about people coming here."

After King Huai finished speaking, he thought about it and found nothing else to forget.

Then he leaned back on the sofa as if he had no bones.

Looking at the fruit juice he hadn't finished drinking, he was too lazy to even stretch out his hand and used his head to reach for the straw.

Liu Jiaqi couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the prince, who had been wise and intelligent just a moment ago, had suddenly returned to his original form.

King Huai continued to swing his legs, and suddenly remembered something.

"Jiaqi, your old man has been feeling unwell in his legs these past few days.

Take him directly to the palace and let Doctor Zhang take a look.

The old man is old, and this kind of thing cannot be delayed."

Liu Jiaqi was moved when he heard this, but he refused:

"Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Zhang was invited back by the old prince to take care of your health.

I heard that he has been busy researching and improving prescriptions recently, leading a group of doctors.

My father's leg problem isn't serious, so there's no need for Dr. Zhang to bother with it!"

King Huai waved his hand indifferently:

“Life and death are determined by fate!

Besides, I know my health well, and I won’t die if I miss a few doses of medicine.

Okay, go back and pick up the old man, don't forget!"

As he spoke, he yawned tiredly.

Seeing this, Liu Jiaqi knew that he was tired, so he bowed respectfully and retreated.

When he went out, Feng, the steward who was waiting outside, saw him come out and hurriedly asked about the situation of the prince inside.

When he found out that King Huai was a little tired and had no energy, he gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"I have watched our prince grow up since he was a child. What a good man he is!

But those guys were so cruel that they poisoned him and almost caused him to lose his life.

It has been many years since I last had poor health. I lose my energy after doing anything for a short while.

If God is open-minded, he should save the person sitting there..."

Before he could continue, he felt his arm being pulled.

Manager Feng wiped his tears and sighed:

“Alas, I know I shouldn’t say anything careless, as it could easily cause trouble for the prince.

I just can't get enough of it!

Okay, since the prince asked you to bring the old man to see him, don't delay any longer, just do it!"

After Liu Jiaqi agreed, he comforted Manager Feng with a few words before saying goodbye and leaving.

Soon, the decree was passed down.

The county government encourages everyone to grow drought-resistant crops.

If you want to plant corn, count the quantity and report to the county government.

The county government will send someone to deliver the best corn seeds.

Of course, these corn seeds are also sold to the people at market prices.

A few years ago, the people made a comparison and found that the corn seeds distributed by the county government were all plump.

The yield is also greater than that of keeping seeds yourself or buying them from stores.

Therefore, this will be the first time the decree is passed down.

In the entire Baoshan Town, nearly 90% of the households pulled out the rice they had originally planted and planned to plant corn.

As for corn seeds, they were reported directly to the village head and purchased from the county government.

At this time, Lu Tianming finally asked someone to bring back the first letter from home.

Lu Shuyi took the letter and read it aloud.

Lu Qingqing was listening nearby, and she started by reporting that she was safe.

They have now settled down in Prince Huai's Mansion, so there is no need to worry.

He then talked about the current situation and suggested that the people in the team abandon the rice seedlings and plant corn directly.

Then, he told them their current location and asked them to find them there if they had any problems.

Finally, each of the people who left wrote a sentence.

The first few brothers spoke very steadily, but when it came to Li Rui, they jumped out of control.

"Master, Master's Wife, Daya and Xiaolang, wait for the day when I become a top master!"

Everyone was feeling a little sad, but after seeing these words, all the sadness disappeared.

The master's wife scolded him with a smile: "This naughty monkey is restless wherever he goes!"

After the laughter and joking, everyone who was still hesitant and confused finally made up their minds.

Decided to buy corn seeds from the county government and plant corn!

Like everyone else, Lu Qingqing reported her two acres of land.

It has to be said that the county governments within King Huai's fiefdom were very efficient.
