Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 46 The Future Daughter-in-law

However, Yue Fei was dumbfounded the next moment!
"I can give you the seeds, but not the farmers! After all, they are not my slaves, and they are subjects of the Song Dynasty. I have no right and will not let them switch to the Jin Kingdom."

Yue Fei was anxious, "Princess! This is a serious matter and concerns the country. Please think twice."

But Zhao Yingluo waved her hand to indicate that he didn't have to worry, "But... I can train a hundred farmers for the Kingdom of Jin as compensation, what do you think?"

When Wanyan Zongyi heard this, his heart blossomed with joy.

Food is the most important thing for the people. Whether the country is stable or not, the food and clothing of the people play a decisive role!If the people have clothes to wear and food to eat, the world will be at peace.Otherwise, even survival becomes a problem, and uprisings become as common as daily occurrences.

If the Kingdom of Jin wants to expand its territory to the south, it must solve the problem of food and clothing for its people.

If her super seeds can be obtained, the Kingdom of Jin will be able to support a large enough population. With a large population, there will be a steady supply of soldiers. With the supply of soldiers, why worry about being unable to destroy the Song Dynasty?
"It would be great if the princess could cultivate farmers for our country!"

Both parties have needs, so the negotiations proceed quickly.

The value of two thousand horses is enough to plant 30 acres of seeds, including 100 corn seeds, [-] potato seeds, and [-] sweet potato seeds, plus train [-] farmers.

Wanyan Zongyi was very satisfied with this result, because he only used a mere two thousand horses in exchange for a huge amount of crop output.

Zhao Yingluo is also very satisfied with this result. Anyway, there is plenty of free seed space. As for training a hundred farmers, winter is coming, and even training will have to wait until spring next year!
When they truly became experts in crop cultivation, it would take years for them to officially plant corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.

By that time, there will still be a question mark as to whether the Great Jin State exists.

After leaving the restaurant, Yue Fei, who had been suppressing his inner anger, finally couldn't help it anymore, "The princess's move is seriously inappropriate! If these seeds fall into the hands of the Jin people, it will endanger our Song Dynasty."

Zhao Yingluo sighed, this Yue Fei was good in combat, but he was too loyal, and all he thought about in advance was the Song Dynasty.

"Does the general think I will betray the Song Dynasty?"

Seeing Zhao Yingluo asking him such a serious question for the first time, Yue Fei was slightly startled, "The princess is Lord Lu's niece and General Zongze's adopted daughter. She will never betray the Song Dynasty."

"That's it. Since I do these things, there are naturally reasons for these things. General, please keep your heart in mind. Sooner or later, Zhongshan Mansion will return to the Song Dynasty, and so will the land of Yanyun. My words will never I’ll break my promise.”

Since she said so, Yue Fei remained silent, that's all!Maybe she really had her plan. At least for now, her appearance gave both Song Dynasty and the Golden Thief time to breathe, and also gave the people of Kaifeng City the hope of living for the first time.

After the negotiations were concluded, Zhao Yingluo left the delivery of horses and seeds to Jiang Laosi and Wang Zaixing. She relaxed and started planning to do business in Zhongshan Mansion.

After reaching the deal with Zhao Yingluo, Wanyan Zongyi had just returned to the mansion when he was interrogated by his emperor father, "From the look on your face, it seems that you know that little lady? Who is she? A southern woman really looks good. So beautiful.”

When Wanyan Zongyi was asked this question by his father, his face felt a little unnatural. He thought he had given up, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about it. "I met this woman when I was in Kaifeng. Her surname is Shen and her given name is Wanshu. She has opened a restaurant in Kaifeng City and has some land. I am about to tell my father to accept her as a princess."

When Wanyan Sheng heard that this woman was the one his son was interested in, the heat in his eyes dissipated, replaced by endless loneliness, and then he showed a fatherly smile.

That’s it!Since he is his most beloved son, how can he bear to take away his good things?Since this woman can't be regarded as his own woman, she can be treated as his daughter-in-law!At least her delicacies can be eaten anytime.

"I see. You are not young now. Please choose a good day to welcome her into the palace in the near future."

Wanyan Zongyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his father was not so persistent. As long as his father did not compete with him, who else in the world could be more qualified to get her than himself?

Those great Song clans?What a joke!A loser who can't protect himself under the great golden cavalry, is he qualified to marry her?
The size of the city of Zhongshan Mansion is naturally not comparable to that of Kaifeng City, but because the market is located here and merchants traveling from south to north gather here, the population is not much worse than that of Kaifeng City.

Therefore, Zui Hibiscus, which is suitable in Kaifeng City, is naturally suitable here!But she does not plan to move the Da Song Bank here. After all, this place is currently within the territory of the Jin people.

With the assistance of Chuntao and Luluo, as well as the fact that Jiang Laosi and Wang Zaixing arrived in Zhongshan Mansion a few days earlier to select a site, it only took less than ten days for Zui Furong's Zhongshan Mansion branch to meet the conditions for its official opening.

Different from the Kaifengfu main store, in addition to the signature Malatang, Zhao Yingluo also specially added a new profitable dish - grilled skewers!
The most traded livestock in Zhongshan Prefecture’s market is sheep!After solving the problem of the source of meat, the kebab business is naturally much simpler than that of Kaifeng Mansion.

The tenth day of October is the day when Zui Hibiscus Zhongshan Mansion branch opens. The first auspicious snow of winter falls early in the land of Yanzhao. "Black dogs are white on their bodies, and white dogs are swollen on their bodies." Large snowflakes are scattered in the sky. , the unique coldness in the air on a snowy day made Zhao Yingluo feel particularly comfortable.

She was wrapped in a thick mink velvet fur coat, and also had a bright red cloak embroidered with gold thread. She stood in front of a three-story building, watching strings of bright red firecrackers crackling in the snow. There was an explosion in the air, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air, vaguely smelling like the Chinese New Year in later generations.

After the grand opening ceremony, those merchants and wealthy people in the city who came here because of the reputation and couldn't wait to taste this delicacy filed in and grabbed a favorable position.

Wanyan Zongyi, who came to congratulate him with generous gifts, was arranged by Zhao Yingluo to a private room on the second floor.

As early as when he was in Kaifeng, Wanyan Zongyi had actually been to Zui Furong several times and was deeply impressed by Zui Furong's dishes. The spicy taste that hit the taste buds was so satisfying.

But the new dishes served this time refreshed his senses again.

Barbecue is not unknown in this era. For Jin people, barbecue is a home-cooked meal!

But when lamb, beef or even vegetables are carefully grilled on skewers on a small bamboo skewer, and seasoned with chili peppers, the taste is different from grilling the whole piece of meat on a rack.

Fragrant, tender, smooth, spicy...

The combination of color, flavor and flavor makes Wanyan Zongyi enjoy the meal heartily. Coupled with the rice wine of the Song Dynasty, it is so refreshing!
