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

Hearing Gu Yuzhi's words, Shu Xiaohan felt her face turn red and said in a very soft voice: "What, I can't read traditional Chinese characters very well."

How could she know what documents the young prince would let her see? She was so embarrassed that she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes!
Sure enough, her rival Wen Xiuzhu did not miss this good opportunity to laugh at her, laughing so much that her mouth watered: "Teacher Shu, don't you claim to be a teacher? Aren't you a doctor? How come you can't read or write?" ?”

"Teacher Shu, is it possible that your descendants all learned by talking?"

"Before, you taught His Highness the pinyin in a decent manner, but in the end you couldn't read for a long time!"

"Bah!" Shu Xiaohan tuied back, "We are learning simplified Chinese characters. Do you know what simplified Chinese characters are? For example, we can replace this character with one stroke!"

Shu Xiaohan snorted and quickly suppressed the embarrassment: "Little Prince, let's think about it with me. What kind of experience does this cropping technique convey? If it is good, we will fully promote it in Xinliang and strive to achieve this fall. May your Highness have a great harvest!"

Gu Yuzhi clenched his little hands into fists and nodded his head vigorously: "Yes, yes, we want a bumper harvest! I want all the grain to be harvested! This way, next year during the Chinese New Year, I can give the emperor's brother and his wife the grain produced in our fiefdom. La!"

Mobei's famous specialties are not only expensive, but they are also tributes. Even if he doesn't give them away, the emperor's brothers and sisters-in-law will not be short.But the grain produced in his fiefdom is different. It is his own stuff and cannot be bought in the capital...

No, no, you can’t buy it this year.

The young prince Gu Yuzhi decided to carry out etiquette rather than affection to the end!

Gu Yuzhi excused that he didn't understand something, and asked Xie Changshi to read out all the content. Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly as he listened, talking about plant ash, alternate planting, and the sowing time of crops...

Gu Yuzhi felt dizzy after hearing this. He waited until Xie Changshi finished reading before blinking and looking at Shu Xiaohan.

Shu Xiaohan's face was full of admiration: "Sure enough, there are experts among the people! This farmer does have a few brushes."

She smiled and said: "Little Prince, these things Yu Xing mentioned are all matters that must be paid attention to during planting. Apart from these, there are many more. In addition to Changzhou, the Little Prince can also select talents like Yu Xing in other states. .”

Only if there are more people who know how to farm, the crops in the little prince's fief can be grown better.

"By the way, young prince, take this opportunity to talk to Xie Changshi about building the reservoir."

The weather in Mobei is relatively dry, and it often doesn't rain for a month in the summer. Therefore, almost every state capital will try to build a reservoir to ensure the normal growth of crops during this special time. In more severe cases, the state must also ensure that The lives of the people in the government.

Xinliang is a deserted city with no reservoir at all. If we want to prevent this year's drought, we must repair the reservoir in advance before the rainy season.

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, having no idea what the reservoir was: "Is this important? The craftsmen mentioned by the Qi Prefect have not arrived yet."

We need to build the royal palace, the residences of Xie Changshi and others, and the houses of more than 1000 people...

Gu Yuzhi felt that if he talked about building any reservoir again, the prefect Qi might quit the case!

Shu Xiaohan straightened her expression: "It's very important! Your Highness needs to know that Mobei is a vast area with few people, so why is the food supply still in short supply?"

"Because the climate here is dry, a lot of food cannot survive even if it is grown. If Your Highness wants to have a bumper harvest this year, a reservoir is necessary, and we have to build a reservoir first."

But Shu Xiaohan didn't know which place was more suitable. “Not just build it, but build a big one.”

Shu Xiaohan already has a very detailed plan for the future agricultural development of Xinliang, but now that the land reclamation has not officially started, these words are just empty talk. If she uses it to seduce the young prince, wouldn't she become a big fan?
After she talked about the importance of the reservoir, she gave Gu Yuzhi a brief introduction to what a reservoir was. Finally, she told Gu Yuzhi: "We must pay attention to this matter."

It was important to pay attention to it, but Gu Yu didn't know how to mention it.

He held his chin in his hands, always feeling that he was a little hard-working. Every time he learned something from Shopkeeper Wen and Teacher Shu, he had to find an excuse to say it out.

After all, he is still too young!
Shu Xiaohan burst out laughing when she saw this: "Young prince, you don't have to worry so much. You can try to talk to Xie Changshi about aquaculture. Fish can be raised in small reservoirs."

Her original intention was to let Gu Yuzhi find a way to build a reservoir with Xie Changsti, but Wen Xiuzhu found a business opportunity in it.

In the Sang Dynasty, cattle were needed to plow the land and were the main labor force. Killing cattle was illegal, so the meat was mostly pork and poultry. There was also mutton in Mobei, but there was very little fish. This meant that the meat in Mobei was The price of fish is relatively high, so it is not the first choice for ordinary people.

If His Highness has a reservoir to raise fish, that will be another source of income.

Wen Xiuzhu saw not only the reservoir's ability to ensure agricultural water use and fish farming, but also the cooperation with restaurants and the possession of the Mobei fish market.

He coughed lightly: "Your Highness, you don't have to be so hesitant. With the intelligence of Xie Changshi and others, as long as Your Highness wants to have a larger pond to raise fish, Xie Changshi and others will definitely think of a reservoir."

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face, always feeling that the matter was not that simple, but he had no better way, so he asked Nanny Xu to be called over, and said in front of Xie Changshi that he wanted to eat fish for dinner. Steamed or braised!

In short, eat all kinds of fish.

Naturally, Aunt Xu had no objection and tried to find a way to get people to go to the market to buy it.

Xie Changshi touched his beard. Not to mention His Highness wanted to eat fish, they hadn't eaten fish for a long time.

What Xie Changshi and others did not expect was that His Highness would not only eat fish tonight, but also the next day and evening.

One meal will satisfy your craving, two meals will make you feel refreshed, and three or four meals will make you feel a little tired.

Xie Changshi and others were so disappointed after eating that they always felt that the smell of fish hit their faces as soon as they entered the house. He had to go to Gu Yuzhi and whispered: "Your Highness, we have had three meals of fish in a row. Tomorrow we should You won’t eat it again, will you?”

Gu Yuzhi asked in surprise: "Isn't the fish delicious?"

Xie Changshi said bravely: "It's delicious."

But no matter how delicious the food is, you can’t eat it every time, right?
Gu Yuzhi pouted and said, "If we don't eat more while we are in Changzhou, we won't be able to eat anything when we get to Xinliang!"

He blinked, Xie Changshi, do you understand what I mean?

Come on, please understand, so we don't have to eat fish!
Not only was Xie Changshi annoyed after eating three meals of fish in a row, he was also annoyed. No matter how good Nanny Xu’s craftsmanship was, she couldn’t let him have the idea of ​​continuing to eat fish! (End of chapter)
