The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

After he could no longer see the large troops, Gu Yuzhi got back into the carriage and said cheerfully: "Xie Changshi, let's leave for Xinliang quickly!"

It had been several months since the last time he went to Xinliang. He was really curious about what Xinliang was like now. How many of the poplar trees planted on both sides of the official road had survived? Are they the same as the poplar trees outside Changzhou City? Have you grown so much taller?

Also, after a few months, how many meters of official road has been built?
Has the city wall been built?

Most importantly, he wanted to see the sweet potato and potato harvests.

Last time he went to see it, Teacher Shu said that the growth was very good, and there should be a good harvest, right?
When he thought of this, Gu Yuzhi covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He did not tell the emperor brother that he had found sweet potatoes and potatoes, but was waiting for the harvest to give them Mid-Autumn Festival gifts!

Gu Yuzhi snorted softly when he thought of the "surprise" that the imperial brother gave him this time.

He is different from the imperial brother, he really wants to give surprises.

As soon as he heard that Gu Yuzhi was going to Xinliang, Xie Changshi couldn't help but frown: "Your Highness..."

Gu Yuzhi hurriedly raised his hand: "Xie Changshi, I haven't taken a bath for a long time. I have saved up my vacation time..."

His eyes rolled: "I have more than half a month of vacation."

Naturally, I heard the idea of ​​saving vacations from Teacher Shu.

He didn't take a break just because he felt that there was nothing to do if he took a break, so he might as well continue studying.

In addition, as soon as his birthday passed, he had already officially started to learn the six arts. His schoolwork was much more arduous than before, and he had no time to rest.

I just kept saving like this, and it actually lasted half a month!
Gu Yuzhi twisted his face and widened his eyes, with an expression that said, "I will never give in this time."

Xie Changshi used his hand as a fist to block the raised corners of his mouth: "I don't want to stop your highness from going to Xinliang. I just want to wait for two more days."

All the dried meat prepared for Chen Dianyi and others were given to Su Shilang and others, and their dry food and other things had to be prepared again.

"Your Highness, Mobei is relatively cold in winter. These refugees don't have thick clothes yet, so Your Highness must prepare early."

With so many people, buying clothes is a huge expense!
Thinking of this, Xie Changshi couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the emperor. The emperor sent people here without considering the climate difference between Jiangnan and Mobei...

Gu Yuzhi put his chin on his hands and sighed, his delicate eyebrows almost wrinkled: "Yes, we still need to prepare things for the winter!"

Not just clothes, but also bedding and other things to keep out the cold.

As for the firewood, forget it, Xinliang now has a lot of uncultivated land, and there are dead branches everywhere in the mountains and plains. As long as they are diligent, they will definitely not be short of firewood.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi's little face brought a smile again: "It's okay, it's okay, didn't the emperor give me 1 taels of gold? When we come back from Xinliang, we will know how many people there are in Xinliang. When the time comes, let Guard Qi go to Jinzhou to purchase."

He didn't want to buy it in Mobei. The largest cloth store in Mobei was owned by Li Ji. He didn't want to give money to Li Ji.

Wen Xiuzhu took the opportunity to interject: "Your Highness, after you go this time, you must ask if any of these people can weave. We have planted so much hemp stalks, and we can't take advantage of Li Ji's people this year." Yes." Gu Yuzhi nodded his head fiercely, Shopkeeper Wen was right!

When they harvested the hemp stalks last year, they hadn't had any conflict with Li Ji yet, so they just sold them at a low price, because they were wild anyway.

But things are different now. Qian Kang of Li Ji Grain Store is still in a good mood. His hemp poles are just for burning fires for the people in the fiefdom, and they should not be sold to Li Ji's people!
But it’s best to have people who can weave, because they grew the hemp stalks themselves this year.

Gu Yuzhi propped up his chin and blinked his eyes: "It would be great if some weaving experts come to me. Then I can first ask the craftsmen to open a weaving workshop in Xinliang and select some women to learn the craft."

Teacher Shu said that women can hold up half the sky. He didn’t understand why women should hold up half the sky, but he also agreed with Teacher Shu and felt that women still play a great role.

Previously, Xie Changshi and the others did not agree with Nanny Xu becoming a chef, but he had learned a lot about weaving, and it was all done by women.

Xie Changshi laughed a little: "If this is really the case, His Highness will be very lucky."

Gu Yuzhi pouted. He was unlucky. Several months had passed and the firm had not started any other business...

The horse's hooves were strong, and when he was about to reach the city gate, he suddenly heard the anxious voice of the Qi Prefect: "Your Highness, Your Highness the King of Wen!"

The driver pulled the reins. After the carriage stopped, Gu Yuzhi lay on the window and looked up at him: "Prefect Qi, what's the matter?"

what happened?
Seeing the innocent look on His Highness's face, Magistrate Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, what have I done recently that made you dissatisfied?"

Gu Yuzhi blinked with big eyes: "Prefect Qi, why do you say that?"

He has been busy studying recently and rarely goes out of the house. He has never met the prefect Qi. How could he be dissatisfied?
He looked at Xie Changshi and saw that Xie Changshi also shook his head slightly and asked tentatively: "What did you do?"

Seeing his innocent look, Magistrate Qi couldn't help but sigh: "I just received news that refugees from the south have come, and that the emperor asked them to come..."

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head: "Yes, yes, I don't know exactly how many people there are. But you are late. Su Shilang has already taken them to Xinliang. This is the imperial brother who specially sent people to Xinliang to open up wasteland. Oh."

There was a little pride on his face, which clearly meant that you were late, all of this has gone to Xinliang.

Gu Yuzhi suddenly shook his head, no, no, even if Magistrate Qi came early, these people are still in trouble, and he would not give it to Magistrate Qi.

As he thought this, he looked at Magistrate Qi with a little defensive look in his eyes, which made Magistrate Qi dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, I am not trying to steal people from you. I feel that so many people are going to pass through Changzhou, and as the magistrate of Changzhou, I should still show my face."

He had inquired, and found out that the imperial minister was the father of the Concubine Liang, and was very close to His Highness. If the emperor asked about Changzhou when he returned, and Su Shilang didn't answer the question, wouldn't he be giving himself some eye drops invisibly? ?

The more Magistrate Qi thought about it, the more he felt regretful...

Only then did Gu Yuzhi understand what Magistrate Qi meant, and he stretched out his arm, taking advantage of being in the carriage, and finally patted Magistrate Qi on the shoulder: "Prefect Qi, don't be anxious, Shi Lang Su will send people to Xinliang, and he will still When he comes back to Changzhou, I have agreed with Mr. Su that I will treat him to dinner when he comes back."
