This year, it's colder than last year. It snowed in many places. Where there's no snow, those near the north are frozen. Jinan is one of them.

Before the deep winter, Fengdi asked Hubu to open up wasteland in Jinan to draw water and plant cotton, but the frost began when the hands were in place.

With the emperor's order, the local officials did not dare to delay because of the weather. In a hurry, they began to dig roads and drain according to the drawings. In this room, they bought wasteland.

But I don't want to see that the abandoned fields have been planted with hawthorn trees under the desperate circumstances of the villagers. It takes five to six years for the hawthorn trees to grow from seedlings to fruit. This year is the fifth year. It seems that the harvest will be achieved in August and September. As a result, when the emperor orders to collect the wasteland, the people naturally quit.

The barren fields in Jinan are full of hawthorn trees for the past four years and five years. It was the former magistrate who could not bear the hardships of the common people and natural disasters and floods. Only then did he investigate and let the people in the government plant these things. The magistrate lent all his moons to the villagers. He hoped to have the same harvest as the villagers this year. He didn't want to be transferred away with a single order.

The new magistrate didn't know that. Although he had heard of it, he was just a man of letters with no distinction between grain and grain. He didn't think it was serious. He only knew that he was reckless and had a way to drain. However, the barren fields could not be recovered.

In this dynasty, the market price of good farmland is 40 stone per mu, and the barren field is 151 mu. Now, hawthorn trees are planted in the barren fields, and the harvest will be achieved after five years of planting. The common people are not stupid and will not let them sell.

What if you don't sell it?

If you don't sell it, the government will have to take it.

How to collect it? It can only be forced collection. If it is forced, there will be conflicts. For this reason, three or four farmers who were not allowed to open water and blocked up the waterways died. If this dead man died, people's hearts were in a mess. If people's hearts are in disorder, they will naturally resist fiercely. When the people fight with the officials, the government will be afraid of it and can only report it to the higher authorities.

This newspaper Fengdi only knew that something big had happened, and now we have to solve it.

Liu Yun was pressed by Emperor Feng to solve the problem in half a month. Liu Yun was angry and didn't dare to face the emperor, so he had to fall on Li Qingzhao. For this reason, Li Qingzhao, lying in bed, also racked his brains.

All his proposals were based on Shen Jun's practice of laughing at his previous life, asking cotton collectors to buy wasteland, and then employing those tenants to farm and collect cotton, and the court only collected taxes.

In this way, the imperial court almost did not give any force, but gave money to channel the water. Therefore, it was a huge profit. When cotton was planted, silver would roll in.

It was true in the previous life. Shen made a big hole in the imperial court with a smile. But how come Hawthorn has been planted on those barren fields in this world.

The merchant attached great importance to profits and asked the merchant to increase the price to collect the wasteland and plant cotton. The merchant would never do anything. If the merchant doesn't do it, let the court make up the money?

If the court can come up with money, naturally there will be no business people. Fengdi asked him to solve the problem, but he didn't want to take money.

If we don't increase the price, we can't even think about it.

Li Qingzhao thought about it and thought it was a dead end. How could it be accomplished?

He couldn't figure it out. He was at a loss. He felt that he couldn't get out of the alley. He was so anxious that he woke up in his dream every night. In my dream, I was added one crime after another in my previous life. I was tortured and cut thousands of times. I woke up in a cold sweat.

It took half a month for Fengdi to come up with a solution. Now nearly seven days later, he was still at a loss. Liu Yun sent people to ask him every day. It's driving him crazy.

On this day, Li Qingzhao stayed up for half a night. Unable to sleep, she simply got up, put on her clothes and opened the window to breathe.

The swelling in the back of his head has almost disappeared. Originally, he planned to go to the Houfu again these days. Now he has a legitimate excuse to go to the Houfu, but he doesn't want to be held by Jinan, which makes him restless.

In this world, Shen Xiuying, who is as expensive as pearls and jades, makes him even more hopeless.

He stood by the window for a while, feeling cold, so he would reach out to close the window. He didn't want to see a dark shadow in the yard. His heart shrinks and he shouts, "who!"

"My Lord! It's me

The figure stood in the yard, busy answering.

When Li Qingzhao heard it, it was ma Qingyuan's voice and frowned: "what are you doing stealthily here?"

"My Lord, I have just got a message that I want to tell you, but I'm afraid it will disturb your rest."

"In the middle of the night, where did you get the news?"

Li Qingzhao's brow twisted more fiercely. Ma Qingyuan went to the window with a smile and said, "my Lord, I left a mark. After all, I was in Beijing. Someone will send messages to the place where I left my mark. I just went to get it."

"What are you asking? What will you do in case of enemies? "

Ma Qingyuan recognized the unhappiness in his voice and handed him the note: "don't worry, I won't be found out if I'm not here at the Li family. And it's from the court. "

Li Qingzhao didn't believe much. They could hear the news from the imperial court. Don't want to open the note, look immediately changed, the words on the ugly can, the news is shocked!

- Shen Jun laughs and goes to Chen's home to discuss Jinan!

"Where did you hear that?" He clenched the note and asked.Ma Qingyuan said: "a brother was desperate to sell himself to Chen Shoufu's house. It should be the brother who secretly came out to meet and said something. I have told you before that there is a message to be sent. After all, my Lord, you are from the imperial court. "

So 50% of the news is true. Li Qingzhao's heart beat very fast. Now Shen Jun laughs that there is a way to rescue him. How can he get it?

Don't want to at this time Ma Qingyuan stretched out his hand to him: "adult, whether this news is useful or not for you, you have to give some... Meaning."

It means money.

Li Qingzhao squinted at him, then turned around and went to the desk and threw a silver or two to him: "double the news."

Ma Qingyuan took the silver and laughed happily. He closed the window and went to the back room to sleep.

Li Qingzhao was holding the note, his eyes flickering.

The next night, Shen Jun laughs that his study has been robbed.

Looking at the study turned into a mess, Shen Junxiao just lightly let the four treasures clean up again.

The rat was cheated, but he thought he could find something useful in his study? It's so cute.
