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

Chapter 12 To be rich, build roads first

Seeing Gu Yuzhi's depressed face, Nanny Xu couldn't bear it and confirmed in a low voice: "Your Highness, you just said you wanted to open a restaurant and let me be the chef, right?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly, his big eyes shining particularly brightly in the darkness: "Mom, are you willing?"

Aunt Xu shook her head slightly, and said in spite of Gu Yuzhi's disappointed eyes: "Your Highness has something to do, and I should do my best, but throughout the ages, I have never heard of a restaurant chef who is a woman. Furthermore, the identity of the old slave It's inappropriate. If His Highness really wants to open a restaurant, I can teach you in the mansion. Your Highness just needs to find someone reliable to learn from."

Gu Yuzhi had expected this result.

After all, except for the teacher Shu Xiaohan who claimed to be a modern professor, no one else agreed.

He had no choice but to shelve the plan for the time being and slowly walked back to the room.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Wenhan came to visit with a map of Mobei at [-]:[-] a.m. Gu Yuzhi had made an appointment with the concierge early on, and Qi Zhifu did not need to wait for notification when he came, he could just bring it directly into the meeting hall.

When Gu Yuzhi heard the report from his subordinates, he walked towards the meeting hall on his short legs and said silently: "Teacher Shu, come out."

Shu Xiaohan had said before that when Magistrate Qi came with the map, she would also take a look and choose a place suitable for crop production.

Gu Yuzhi naturally knew the importance of food. When he heard what Shu Xiaohan said, he immediately agreed.

Shu Xiaohan smiled and waved to Gu Yuzhi: "Hello, little prince, we meet again."

Gu Yuzhi nodded with a sullen face, turned a corner and saw Xie Changshi waiting aside: "Your Highness."

He was half a step behind Gu Yuzhi: "I heard from the people below that Magistrate Qi has traveled to many places during this period. I think he must have stepped in for His Highness in advance. We can listen to Magistrate Qi's suggestions later."

"Ok."

As soon as Gu Yuzhi stepped into the meeting hall, Magistrate Qi stood up quickly: "See your highness."

"Prefect Qi, please get up quickly." Gu Yuzhi looked up at him with a smile, pointed to the place beside him, "Sit down and talk."

With everyone sitting, his neck was less sore.

When Gu Yuzhi sat down, Magistrate Qi did not dare to talk nonsense and directly handed the map to Xie Changshi: "Your Highness, this is the latest map of Mobei. You can take a look at it first."

Xie Changshi put the map on the desk and opened it. He saw that there were a lot of annotations on the map, and there were some comments written in small letters at the bottom. After Xie Changshi took a brief look at it, he explained to Gu Yuzhi in a low voice: "Your Highness You see, Changzhou where we are located is here, and this road is the official road leading to the capital."

Gu Yuzhi poked his little head to look and said silently: "Teacher Shu, can you see clearly?"

Shu Xiaohan hummed, silently comparing these places with modern cities, and making some calculations in his heart: "Your Highness, you can first ask Prefect Qi which places he recommends, and then make an on-the-spot investigation after confirming the place."

In fact, there were many places in her mind that she felt were suitable, but after all, this was ancient times, roads were impassable, and there was also the foreign threat of Beidi, so Shu Xiaohan did not dare to speak easily.

If they fail to complete their mission and the host dies, their systems will be completely obliterated.

Xie Changshi explained to Gu Yuzhi in a low voice: "Your Highness, please see, these enclosed blank areas are places that have been explored by the Qi Prefecture. Although they are wastelands, they are relatively safe and suitable. Your Highness can give priority to these places for inspection. "

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head, listened to Shu Xiaohan's words, pointed to the state capital next to the border and said, "Where is this?"

Magistrate Qi's eyebrows jumped: "Your Highness, this is Quanzhou, a border city of our Sang Kingdom, adjacent to Beidi." Oh my God, does His Highness want to build a mansion in Quanzhou?Even if the emperor no longer wants to see His Highness, he will not let His Highness go to such a dangerous place, right?
Before Gu Yuzhi said that he was sure to go to Quanzhou, the prefect of Qi had already imagined a lot of the miserable life of His Highness Prince Wen in Quanzhou...

He looked at Xie Changshi with a grimace, almost crying: "Xie Changshi, this Beidi harasses the whole state every year, and there are Mobei troops stationed in the whole state. It is really not a good place to establish a feudal land."

Xie Changshi thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, what do you want to ask?"

"Yes." Gu Yuzhi nodded, "The place you pointed at before is adjacent to Quanzhou, and there is a county seat and Changzhou next to it. Why is there no one living here?"

He scratched his head: "Looking from the map, the official road doesn't start from this place. Is the distance closer? Why does the official road go around here?"

Magistrate Qi then breathed a sigh of relief: "This is called Xinliang, and it was the place of exile for all dynasties." Magistrate Qi pointed to the border between Xinliang and Quanzhou, "This is an iron mine, where exiles served. "

Gu Yuzhi understood that the official route would naturally bypass the iron mine.

Xie Changshi looked at where Magistrate Qi was pointing, his eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered: "Does Your Highness think Xin Liang is suitable?"

Gu Yuzhi said nothing because Shu Xiaohan was roaring in his mind: "Your Highness, I think Xinliang can be the first choice."

"Ah?" Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, "Didn't Governor Qi say that Xinliang is a place of exile?"

He was a little scared: "My mother-in-law said that the exiled people are all extremely vicious people. If I choose Xin Liang, will there be any danger?"

"Can the people in exile be more vicious than the people in Beidi?" Shu Xiaohan said with a smile, "Your Highness, you can take a closer look at the map. Xinliang borders Quanzhou to the north and Changzhou to the south. It is considered an important transportation road connecting the two capitals. Once the road is built, there will be no need to worry about development here.”

"Your Highness, please note that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads."

"Also, the large area means that there is a lot of wasteland. As long as there are enough people to cultivate the wasteland, there will naturally be no less land for planting. If there is more land, there will naturally be more people. Didn't Xie Changshi say it before? There is no need to pay taxes on the land you own..."

While Shu Xiaohan was still talking, Wen Xiuzhu was already deep in thought.

He is not optimistic about Xinliang. After all, as a place of exile for all dynasties, the environment must be very harsh. Even if he wants to reclaim wasteland, he must find a place with a better environment.

Food is all harvested from heaven.

But Shu Xiaohan's words shocked him all over. Putting aside those prejudices, when he looked at Xin Liang again, he felt that it was very appropriate.

Compared with other places enclosed by Qi Prefecture, Xinliang has the largest area. Once transportation is opened, merchants from the north and south will definitely stop at Xinliang to rest.

Once there is a flow of people, there will be no need to worry about business failure.

Thinking of this, Wen Xiuzhu also nodded: "Your Highness, I also think that we can go to Xinliang first."

Gu Yuzhi nodded and tried to digest Shu Xiaohan's words: "Xinliang connects Quanzhou and Changzhou. It is larger than other places. There must be a lot of wasteland. We can go here to take a look first."

Xie Changshi had a smile on his face: "In that case, I'll ask Magistrate Qi to lead the way tomorrow. Let's go to Xinliang first."
