Li Fucheng looked dignified, and after a while, he said slowly: "If so, Zhehai will be in chaos."

"As the person in charge of changing rice to mulberry, if the Zhejiang Sea is in chaos, what will happen to the sixth prince?"

"Naturally, he has no chance of becoming a crown prince."

Thinking of the consequences like that, Li Fucheng couldn't help but gasp.

He tried to dissuade his younger sister, "Although this method can hit the sixth prince, it will also harm the people of Zhehai. We can't do such outrageous things. If father knew, he would never agree."

"Brother, I mean to let the sixth prince suffer, not to let the common people suffer."

"The people don't suffer, how can the sixth prince suffer?"

"Aren't there a lot of common people making troubles over there now, refusing to change rice into mulberry?"

"That's right." Li Fucheng pondered, "However, as long as they are reasonable and given enough food subsidies, they will eventually submit."

"Brother, find some local hooligans, give them some benefits, and make a fuss about this matter, inciting the people to make a big fuss." Ying Ning thought for a while, "I say this, don't think that you will harm the people .Even if they obediently changed to planting mulberry now, when there is a shortage of food, the imperial court will not be able to accept their fields at the price originally planned.”

Li Fucheng frowned: "Would they? Would they dare?"

"Brother, you do old things like this, don't you understand the thoughts of the wealthy and squires in those places?" Ying Ning sneered, "For example, your family has no food to eat, the elderly and children are waiting to be fed, but in your field there is only food that cannot be eaten. Sang Miao. What will you do then?"

"Sell fields for food."

"Who decides the price?"

"Of course it is based on the market price."

"Market price?" Yingning laughed, "Yes, maybe the market price is eight buckets of rice per mu of land, but seeing that your family is starving to death, they only give you one bucket of rice per mu of land, will you sell it?"

"..."

"Buying fields at extremely low prices, isn't that the way for those rich and powerful to make a fortune?" Ying Ning said, "It's so difficult to implement changing rice to mulberry this time, do you think it's just the common people making noise? Don't those rich and rich get involved?" Officials meddling?"

Li Fucheng frowned.

Ying Ning said again: "Gu Changyuan is a prince, although he is very smart and has done a lot of errands, but after all he lacks experience. In the dirty officialdom in Zhehai, he can't compete with those old fritters."

"According to what you said, it is really difficult." Li Fucheng sighed, "No wonder the sixth prince was trapped in Zhejiang Sea for several months, and it was difficult to get out."

"So," Ying Ning emphasized, "if we follow the current thinking of the imperial court, something big will happen in the end."

"So, you are helping the sixth prince?"

"Of course not." Ying Ning smiled, "I was thinking, wait until he messes things up, and let the officials who have a good relationship with us clean up the mess."

Li Fucheng also laughed: "Did you know that things would go wrong? The sixth prince may be young and inexperienced, but he is smart and capable after all, and he is a prince. No matter how slippery and arrogant the local officials are, they dare not be too aggressive Excessive."

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, let alone a prince." Ying Ning said, "I know he will handle things well, so we have to find a way to prevent him from doing well."

Although Ying Ning didn't care about outside affairs in her previous life, she also knew that Gu Changyuan won the emperor's favor precisely because he handled the matter of changing rice into mulberry beautifully, and because he had been accumulating power and connections, he was able to finally win in one fell swoop. Get the crown prince.
