Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 668 Changes
All the ministers couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and no one could say anything for a moment.

Ye Zhifeng seemed to have said enough, she stared at the people in the room for a while, flicked her sleeves, withdrew from the case, and strode towards the door.

Before stepping out of the threshold, she deliberately stopped and looked back at the courtiers. In her amber pupils, her emotions were complicated and unspeakable: "My lords, Zhifeng will hold a new meeting at this time and at this place five days later. .”

"I also hope that adults can take advantage of this time to think carefully about what I said today."

"Zhifeng knows that his talents are shallow and his knowledge is poor, and he is not the kind of material for governing the country, and he does not intend to be that kind of autocratic | dictatorial | monarch... I hope the adults will not force Zhifengxing to be that kind of dictator| Judgment."

After she finished speaking, she immediately left the study without looking back, leaving the old and new courtiers alone in the room in a daze.

These people are loyal ministers who sincerely serve the country and the people. She knows that they will definitely send people to those two small border towns to take a look, and she also knows that they will eventually make the same choice as her——

Hanze's life is really exhausted, and the border of Hanze has been closed for too long. Instead of trying to save the fate of the country that is doomed to decline, it is better to take a step back, at least to ensure the peace and happiness of the people of the next country .

The girl who stepped out of the door closed her eyes. The cold wind in northern Xinjiang made her face ache. Her long plain dress and cloak faintly melted into the frost and snow in the sky. She looked at the silver-covered mountains in the distance. Chongshan silently let out a whitish breath.

It was never Ye Shi that she couldn't let go of. What she really couldn't let go of was the land where she was born and raised, and the thousands of creatures living on this land.

The courtiers who were left in the king's study were stunned for a long time, and in the end they selected four important courtiers, including Xu Fengshuo, two literate and two martial arts, two old and two young, to go to the two border towns this time. Check out the reps.

The four people were not ambiguous after being selected. They simply packed their bags at noon that day, and drove towards the two small cities on their unique sleigh in northern Xinjiang.

Those two cities were at the junction of the two countries, not too far from Hanze's Huangdu, the four of them had successfully entered the city by the noon on the first day, and before the evening on the third day.

At that time, the evening market (evening market) in the city had not yet closed.

The four of them found an elegantly decorated inn nearby and simply put down their things, then ran to Naxi Market to find a restaurant for dinner, and then wandered around the market after the meal.

While wandering around, everyone found that the living customs of the people in this city were exactly the same as when they were in Hanze before, and there was no change at all.

Even the wind chimes adorned on the eaves and the plaque hanging on the gate tower were still the same as they had seen here before.

If one had to say that something had changed, it would be that the servants guarding the government office in the city were no longer his Hanze servants, and the soldiers patrolling inside and outside the city were no longer his Hanze soldiers either.

Other than that, the only change they saw again was that the complexions on the faces of the people seemed to be much better than before; and the winter clothes they wore seemed to be thicker and newer than before. .

Even the meals in their bowls are slightly richer than before.

——This is simply unbelievable.

Xu Fengshuo looked at the people coming and going in the street, and listened to the familiar local accent that filled his ears, and felt that the whole world was a little bit upside down.

People in the world say "scholars, farmers, businessmen", and merchants have always been the lowest in the industry. Even if the merchant has a wealth of ten thousand, he can't be regarded as having much status in the town.

At the beginning, Hanze was able to agree to cede these two small border cities so easily. A large part of the reason was that most of the people in these two cities made a living by doing business.

——How many good things can there be in a place as bitter and cold as Hanze?

How much can these merchants use as treasures to sell to others?

Merchants are used to being unwelcome in Hanze, and the commerce and trade in these two cities may not have been very developed in the past.

Most of the people are just struggling on the line of food and clothing, and many people can't even touch the food and clothing.

The relief money and food that the imperial court sends here every year is enough to support another thousand elites, but the two cities will always be that faction half-dead.

Therefore, Ye Tianlin ceded these two insignificant border towns easily with the mentality of "getting rid of burdens and troubles".

But now-

Xu Fengshuo's eyes widened, he saw a healthy blush on the faces of the people, and many people had happy and satisfied smiles on their lips.

Even the unknown old man on crutches on the street corner is as energetic as a young man, and he has been wandering around the city for so long, but he has never seen any beggars on the street.

——This seems to be the two small cities he has seen before, but it seems not to be the two cities he is familiar with. This is what he expects, the city of Hanze, everything is stable and beautiful. big truth.

The young man's Adam's apple rolled and rolled, and his fingertips curled up uncontrollably.

When he was about to walk out of Xishi, he finally couldn't help stopping an old woman who was walking on the road. The old woman raised her eyes to see the young man in front of her, and she couldn't help being slightly stunned: "Young man, what's the matter with you?"

"It's like this, grandma." Xu Fengshuo frowned, trying his best to put on a gentle and friendly expression, "We are here for the first time, and we heard that your city has been classified as Qianping, so we can't help being curious."

"Mother-in-law, this junior would like to ask you, after this place was included in Qianping, how has your daily life changed?"

"Changes?" The old woman was stunned after hearing the words, and then slowly shook her head after a while, "I haven't seen any changes, it's the same as before."

"If you really want to talk about it in detail, the biggest change is probably that this year's winter grain is not as difficult to store as in previous years."

"Oh?" Xu Fengshuo frowned in response, "How do you say that?"

"The new lord, in mid-September this year, specially ordered the government to release a batch of old grain hoarded last year." The old woman's tone paused, "The price of this batch of old grain is about a quarter lower than the market price. , the amount is not much, and each household can buy at most half a stone."

"Half a stone of grain, if you eat pancakes and rice all the time, you can eat it for about two months. If you save a little, it's not difficult to eat it for three months." The old woman snapped her fingers and said clearly.

"A stone of grain on the market costs five hundred coins. The batch of grain released by Mr. Lu only costs 370 five coins per stone. Although one person can only buy half a stone, it also saves more than 60 coins."

"The remaining 60 yuan can be exchanged for another [-] catties of grain in the market. In this way, everyone doesn't have to worry about how to stock up enough rice grain for the winter."

　So what, there is a time limit for hoarding grain, including how many years the grain in the granary will not be used, and the old grain must be sold to avoid waste
　　There should be no doubt that new grains will be put into storage every year, right?

　　Of course why Hanze didn't do this before
　　Because the land in Hanze is not suitable for farming, the treasury itself is not enough to store grain, and there is no way to save grain
　　But Qianping can be tossed out completely, and a lot of tossed out every year, it is not difficult to raise a Hanze
　　I reasonably suspect that sister Ye has taken a fancy to the granary
