The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 122
Jinse's eyes lit up when she saw the map: "When did you draw it, why have I never seen it before?"

He leaned forward to take a closer look, took a few glances and said, "I thought it was a map of the whole territory of Dayou, but it turned out to be only our small piece."

Jinbo gave her a white look: "It's too big to eat dates for nothing. I can draw our small piece is already good. This is what you should do. When you ask you to count the population of the surrounding villages, you should Draw a picture."

"You didn't say, how do I know how to count the population and draw a map, let's not talk about the map, just tell me what you think. Don't let me ask for money and grain, and solve their current difficulties."

Jin Bo pointed to the map and said, "You should take a good look at the map first. Where are the villages around us built?"

Jinse took a closer look: "Isn't it built along the river or against the mountains?"

Taking Zhuangzi as the starting point, Jinbo drew a big circle, except for a few slightly remote villages, the rest are almost included in it.

"You can go to the imperial city to block it, but don't ask for money and food. Even if you ask for it at this time, they won't give it to you. You might as well ask for a piece of land, which is the place I set aside."

Jinse frowned: "What's the use of that, isn't it still unable to solve the problem at hand?"

A Kuan Jinbao nodded after hearing Jinbo's words, but Jinse didn't understand what she was talking about.

"You're stupid, forget it, you want this land, and what happens here in the future is not up to you. How much tax you want to collect, how many times a year, it has nothing to do with the people in the imperial city. This Wouldn't that solve the problem fundamentally?"

Jinse scratched her head: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Firstly, I don't have the protection of foreign forces, and secondly, I don't have any outstanding achievements. I'm afraid Jin Xiao won't give me the fiefdom, let alone the fiefdom next to the capital. What do you want?" You know, most of the taxes in the capital are collected from these villages, how could Jin Xiao be willing to give it to me."

Jinbo thought for a while, pointed to the large plain upstream of the river and said, "What about this area, there are no villages and few people, so he would be willing to give it to him."

Jinse nodded: "He is willing to give it, but I don't want it. I have nothing. What are we going to do here? Except for a larger area, there is nothing."

"What a deadhead. If you have land, you're afraid that there will be no one. You just go for it, as much as you can get, no matter if it's a barren beach or a mountain, as long as it can be attributed to your Jinse name."

Jinse still had doubts in her heart, but seeing that the other three seemed very optimistic about the resolution, she reluctantly agreed.

"Then how to solve the current situation, let alone those villages that have been exploited, even in our village, there is not much food left, and the food in the city is getting more and more expensive. At this time, those profiteers will suck blood when they see the right time."

The matter was settled, and Jin Bo put away the map.

"Persist for a while longer, and you will be able to harvest in a short time. If you can't do it, go to the mountains more. There are many things in it, and life will not be a problem."

Jinse nodded: "That's all I can do. Then I'll go to the capital tomorrow. If this matter is not settled, I don't have the heart to do other things."

Ah Kuan took the map from Jinbo and was about to put it back where it was. Seeing that Jinse was worried, he comforted him.

"Fourth princess, don't worry too much. I've heard that the princes and daughters were taken back by their parents, and most of them got rewards. The town where they are located can be autonomous. You volunteered to guard the imperial tomb for the royal family. You just need some surrounding land to do it. They will not deny you the reward."

Jinse put her hands on her face and murmured: "I hope, I only heard that Jin Xiao woke up, but I don't know the details. If he is not the one who can make the decision, I'm afraid it will not be easy to handle. I want to It's not a reward, I just don't want to see those people in Dayou suffer."

Jin Bao comforted: "Fourth Princess, don't worry, she will get better."

Jinbo couldn't see Jinse's listless look, so he rolled his eyes at her and walked towards the barn, then rode up the mountain on a donkey.

The system detected several mineral deposits in the mountains early in the morning, but has been busy and did not go to the field to check.

If Jinse can come to these fiefdoms, the development of these minerals can be put on the agenda.

Although the areas she demarcated are sparsely populated, they are flat and vast, and the climate has become warm and humid now, and there is a large river flowing through them, which is most suitable for vigorously developing agriculture and animal husbandry.

There are also more advanced irrigation and farming techniques in the system. If there are no accidents, it will be developed in a few years.

Jinbo carefully calculated how long it would take to develop the strength to compete with those forces staring at him, and a voice calling for her came from behind.

I saw Jin Bao running towards her at a trot, "Jinbo, wait for me. You didn't say a word when you went up the mountain, and I chased you for a long time."

"I have something to do, what are you doing here?"

Jin Bao ran up to him, hung his bamboo basket on the donkey's back, panted and said, "I went up to the mountain to gather some medicine, and the people in the village said you were going to the mountain, so I came to chase you. Why don't you call me?" I will accompany you personally, there are many beasts up the mountain, it is very dangerous."

The two went up the mountain together, and Jin Bao told Jin Bo many interesting things about the capital.

I heard that since something happened during the last sacrificial ceremony, the astrologer has been silent, because many people died, and the theocracy, which was expected to be equal to the imperial power, has become less sacred in the hearts of ordinary people.

Some of the more courageous ones secretly moved the bricks and stones from the altars in order to repair the house. Several altars have collapsed, and they are no longer as grand as they used to be.

On the contrary, some businessmen are loved by ordinary people, such as Jinbo's uncle Xie Qiming.

If he hadn't been working hard to stabilize the prices in the capital, the city would have been in chaos long ago.

Jin Bao also said that the Xie family had secretly raised some soldiers on the city defense. After the commander came back, he was very dissatisfied with this. There were rumors that the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the capital might be in chaos again soon.

Campbell chose to come back at this time, largely because of this.

Jin Bo was a little curious: "Didn't everyone say that the commander was buried in the flames? Why did he come back suddenly? Where did he go before?"

Jin Bao shook his head: "I don't know what to say. There are all kinds of rumors. Some said that they went to other countries to borrow soldiers, some said that they hibernated to recover from their injuries, and some said that they were imprisoned and threatened Dayou. In short, they all felt that It is not a good thing for the great commander to come back now."

Jin Bo nodded: "The palace is looking for doctors everywhere, whether they are treating the chief commander or Jin Xiao."

"I don't know about that. None of the doctors who have entered the palace have come out so far. We have no way of knowing what is going on in the palace."
