The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 127 Majors
With the land, Jinbo's long-standing plan can be steadily advanced.

The minerals in the mountains can't be excavated with great fanfare now, but it's no problem for them to use them for themselves.

After Jinse got the fief, some of the output from the fief will be handed over to the officials as a symbol, and it is not up to them to decide how to use the rest.

No wonder Xie Xian wanted to tie Jin Bo to the Xie family's boat no matter what Xie Xian said. No matter how big the Xie family's business was, it couldn't stand up to princes and princesses like Jin Bo and the others.

Even if they don't do anything, they can lie on the fief and eat and drink for a lifetime.

With a little effort, the speed of accumulating wealth is not comparable to ordinary merchants like the Xie family who have no power or power.

What Xie Xian wants is not only wealth, but also social status. He is already rich enough, and he has to spare no effort to plan these retrograde things. Most likely, he wants to change the social attributes of Xie's family in Dayou. Pave the way for future generations of the Xie family.

It was only recently that Jin Bo realized that in this time and space, it is not as simple as she thought to want to dominate a party or become wealthy.

I want to live here richly, smoothly and freely, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

After seeing Jinse off, he began to light lamps and cook oil to plan the upstream dam.

In the past, two mountains were randomly blown up to act as dams for flood control. Now it is necessary to use the water stored there to irrigate the farmland downstream.

Only when the water conservancy is done can we be confident and bold to reclaim the land. It is too late to open up wasteland this year, but the water conservancy facilities can be built first.

The next day, Jinse took the patriarch from the imperial mausoleum to unify the villages that were planned to be transferred to her fief, and at the same time summoned a large number of people for Jinbo to repair the dam.

Among the people who came to Zhuangzi to gather, there were only a few young and strong, most of them were thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-children, and older people.

There were also several sallow and thin girls and daughters-in-law. Jin Bo immediately recognized the lame daughter-in-law who had been treated by Jin Bao, and her son followed her, holding her hand and looking around curiously.

They don't know what Jinse called them here for, they only know that from now on they are already subjects under Jinse's rule, and they don't need to pay taxes to the government anymore, as long as they serve Jinse well That's it.

Fortunately, in the past half a year, Jinse has established a good relationship with these villagers, and they have not had any resistance to this sudden change.

On the contrary, those villages that were not included in Jinse's fiefdom had some complaints, clamoring for unfairness, and wanted Jinse to accept them too.

At noon, seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Jin Bo took out the blueprint and gave them a rough explanation of the purpose of the trip.

Jin Bo thought that what he said was easy to understand, but he obviously overestimated the knowledge of these villagers.

Everyone knew that this little girl was an expert who dared to reprimand even the princess Jinse. Even if she couldn't understand what she was talking about, no one dared to ask or interrupt her.

All they knew was that this girl seemed to be taking them upstream to build a dam. As for the amount of water and the speed of flow, they didn't know anything about it.

Looking at the silent crowd and their bewildered expressions, Jin Bo wondered if he spoke too fast and they didn't keep up, when he was about to say it again.

A half-grown boy said: "Sister, you just tell us what to do. We don't understand the other reasons. They are all farmers who plan and eat in the field. They only have a handful of strength. You can do whatever you want. Stop talking."

"That's right. It's already noon. It's been a long time. Didn't you say that you need to dig ditches? You can just dig there. I'm done with this end, and I have to go back to look at the crops."

Jinbo was speechless for a moment, she had prepared this material all night, why they couldn't understand it, and they couldn't understand the principle, how could this work be carried out properly.

Just as he was debating whether to spend some time teaching them some simple knowledge of geography and hydrology, Jin Bao came back from the outside with a medicine basket on his back.

Seeing so many people around the village, he stepped forward to inquire, and after knowing what happened, he pulled Jin Bo aside and said.

"These are simple and honest peasants with limited vision and knowledge. They won't understand your weird knowledge for a while. If you really want to rely on them to accomplish something, you can't reason with them first. Just ask them to do it first, learn as you go, and if they don’t understand, they will naturally ask you.”

Jinbo thought to himself, although this dam is not a high-tech precision project, it is somehow related to the livelihood of those people downstream. Let a group of people who don't know anything and know nothing go up and learn the truth while doing it. Can it work?

Seeing that Jin Bo hesitated, Jin Bao simply took the blueprint in her hand and beckoned people to follow him up the mountain.

On the way, he asked Jin Bo carefully about the details on the drawings, and when he arrived at the destination, he already understood Jin Bo's intentions.

Jinbo thought well and made a beautiful plan, but when she stood on the dam and looked at the crowd waiting for her to assign work, she didn't know where to start.

After suffering the loss of inexperience, when assigning everyone to start dredging and embankment, they lost their confidence.

Thanks to Jin Bao's assistance, nothing major happened, but this day was extremely chaotic, and the progress was not as smooth as Jinbo expected.

Although it was not as satisfactory, Jinbo still gained something. She found that there were a few people who were very curious, and would ask Jinbao about any questions they didn't understand.

If Jin Bao didn't know about it, he would come and ask Jin Bo together, really learning by doing.

After a few days, everyone understood why this embankment was built, and they were no longer unfamiliar with the technical terms and nouns in Jinbo's mouth.

Jinbo also picked out those people with bright minds, and asked Jinbao to give them some practical knowledge after work every day.

The construction of the dam cannot be completed in a day or two. After everything is on the right track, Jin Bo entrusts the work here to Jin Bao to watch over, and he comes over every now and then to have a look.

Things went well with Ah Kuan, so he quietly went to Qiyue Town and brought back dozens of former workers from the mine there.

According to Jin Bo's order, he led the blacksmith from the imperial mausoleum directly into the mine.

The iron ore excavated from the mountains was smelted on the spot, and it was broken into iron bars and iron bars and smuggled back to Zhuangzi for storage.

Jin Xi is now in charge of all affairs in the Zhuangzi. This was originally Jin Se's job, but now she only loves to read and study. Every day she studies a few military books from Jin Bo, and she has become a hands-off shopkeeper.
