Chapter 372

The sunset is like a beautiful rainbow dance dress hanging in the sky.

In the red glow, Qingzhou City has a strange beauty. After enjoying a big dinner in the palace, Xiao Ming went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.

He got up lazily at noon the next day.

The days of struggle have to continue, but they are not as urgent as before. At least there are no barbarians outside the city. After that, Xiao Ming's mood has relaxed a lot.

In the following days, he can finally build his own fiefdom easily and comfortably. Of course, his current fiefdom also includes Youzhou.

In addition to the bedroom, Xiao Ming is told Pang Yukun is waiting for him in the main hall.

Xiao Ming is a bit incredible. If Pang Changshi had been there before, he would have woken himself up outside the door. It's really the sun coming out from the West.

"Your Highness."

In the main hall, Pang Yukun had a faint smile on his face. When he saw Xiao Ming, he saluted respectfully.

Today, he didn't disturb Xiao Ming's rest. The war in the past three months has made Xiao Ming very tired. He really can't bear it.

He followed Xiao Ming step by step to today, witnessing that Xiao Ming had been able to drive the barbarians out of guanwai from an uninhibited vassal king.

The change of his mind during this period has already made him sincerely accept Xiao Ming, and the honing of these days has also made him no longer as cynical as before.

What he wanted is now becoming a reality, and Xiao Ming is no longer a person who needs his supervision.

"Pang Changshi happened to be here. I'm going to find you." Xiao Ming sits down on the chair and his maid brings a cup of tea.

"Your Highness is talking about Youzhou. I've heard about it." Pang Yukun said that the merchants made a lot of noise at the gate of Qiwang's house, and he knew it clearly.

Xiao Ming nodded, "this time is the battle of Jizhou, and then the recovery of Qingzhou. During this period, many merchants provided a lot of materials for the northern expedition. Now it's time to repay them. In this way, the king can raise more silver in the next war. If people don't have faith, they won't stand up. The king can't break his promise."

Pang Yukun didn't sleep well for several days because of the recovery of the Sixteen States of Yanyun. He said: "Your Highness, I was thinking about it when my highness went to the mountain customs. I can't give the booty to these merchants, whether it's war horses, cattle and sheep, or manbao. We all use these things, so I thought I only gave them grassland, and stipulated him We must raise horses on the grassland. "

After a pause, Pang Yukun said: "the barbarians are conquering the world with cavalry. This is just what the state of Dayu is inferior to. After losing the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the state of Dayu has no good horses to use. This is because there is no high-quality grassland, so your highness must take this opportunity to vigorously develop horse politics in Youzhou. The barbarians are only driven out of the pass, but their national strength is still strong You can't take it lightly. "

Xiao Ming nodded slowly. Pang Yukun's words came to Xiao Ming's heart.

He said: "you are right. The silk road is still under the control of the barbarians. Now we are just trapped in the Great Wall. Without enough cavalry, it is difficult to defeat the barbarians completely. If the barbarians do not get rid of them for a day, this is the great trouble in the North."

"That's the truth." Pang Yukun laughed. "Besides grassland, your highness can transfer some of the victims to Youzhou to plant potatoes, peanuts, corn, peppers. The people in Qingzhou are not willing to plant potatoes. These victims have no land. In order to get land, they will not refuse."

"People refuse to grow potatoes?"

It suddenly occurred to Xiao Ming that it was time to plant potatoes.

Pang Yukun nodded. "My lord just wanted to talk to his highness about this. Originally, my Lord was going to force the people to take out part of the land to grow potatoes. After all, if the potatoes were so high-yield, no matter how many people could afford it, but now his Highness has collected more than 500000 victims from Jizhou, and now he has a large area of land in Youzhou, which can not be divided into two parts For the victims to plant? Otherwise, it's OK to force the people to plant, but it will certainly cause people's gossip at that time. "

Xiao Ming had no choice but to smile.

In fact, when potatoes were first introduced to Europe, they were rejected and even regarded as an ominous thing. European farmers also refused to plant them. After all, no one would risk starvation to grow a crop that they had never seen before.

But then there was a great famine in France. At this time, a pharmacist who preferred potatoes took the opportunity to vigorously promote the high yield and delicious of potatoes in France. So the hungry Frenchmen began to rush to plant potatoes and saved a large number of hungry people.

Since then, potatoes began to be valued by European powers, forcing domestic farmers to plant some potatoes.

Now Xiao Ming obviously suffered from this kind of embarrassment, but he came from later generations and naturally believed in the importance of potatoes to the fiefdom.

He said: "in this case, we will select some victims to go to Youzhou to reclaim land, and Youzhou city itself has 200000 people, which is enough. When the potatoes are ripe in the first season, we will let the people compete to grow potatoes in the second year."

"There are 200000 victims in Youzhou?" Pang Yukun was a little surprised."That's right, so I hope you can go to Youzhou to set up the Yamen of Youzhou and distribute the land to the people by the way."

Now Youzhou is in his pocket, so he naturally wants to extend his rule there.

"Yes, your highness, that's what I'm good at." Pang Yukun said with a smile.

Now Xiao Ming's fiefdom has doubled. As a minister, he has no reason to be happy.

"In this case, you will be responsible for the disaster victims and Youzhou. Tomorrow, I will call these businessmen to the chamber of Commerce to discuss the grassland."

Then he said, "by the way, the victims escorted back this time are all chaotic troops. How have you dealt with this period of time?"

"All crimes against the law have been executed in the capital, leaving behind innocent people with families and families." Pang Yukun said solemnly that this matter is very serious. He should not make a fool of it.

Hearing the words, Xiao Ming said, "the king of Qinglong has no idea where he is going, so these victims must be cleaned up so as not to be disturbed by some of them who are loyal to the king of Qinglong."

It's not Xiao Ming's cold blood. After all, it's about the safety of the fiefdom.

If there is a person with a bad heart at this time, it will be his people who will be killed and injured at that time.

Pang Yukun nodded again.

They talked about Youzhou and the victims, and about the government affairs of some fiefdoms. Pang Yukun left with satisfaction.

And Xiao Ming is preparing to talk with the businessmen about this Youzhou.

The grassland in Youzhou is very large this time. He not only wants to give it to them, but also plans to sell some to them. He has a preliminary idea, and plans to focus on the construction of agriculture and animal husbandry in Youzhou.

He was thinking, when aster suddenly came in and said, "Your Highness, the school of Bowen has sent people. They say they have made hydrogen balloons."
