Chapter 621 Xizhou
More than a month later.
Rong Yiyi and his party arrived in Xizhou. Along the way, Bai Su also purchased a large amount of food to help the people of Xizhou.
After the war, the people of Xizhou were living in dire straits.
The people were starving and had no choice but to eat anything. The population dropped sharply. Although most of them died in the war, most of them died of starvation.
The imperial court also issued relief grain several times, but only a small amount actually reached the people.
It’s not that all the money was embezzled, but the imperial treasury was empty and the food reserves were almost exhausted in the war, so the victory was finally won with great difficulty.
Bai Su took up his post with the imperial decree.
Among them was the silver allocated by the Ministry of Revenue, which was only 10,000 taels of silver. This was the silver squeezed out by the Ministry of Revenue from various sources. The national treasury was empty and silver was needed everywhere.
Fortunately, Bai Su carried some silver with him.
There is no exploitation by the middlemen, mainly because people in Xizhou cannot buy food even if they have silver.
Bai Su took the imperial edict and made purchases along the way.
We finally received 3,000 dan of grain. There is no more. It is far from enough. The population of Xizhou has dropped sharply, but there are still hundreds of thousands of people. How can such a small amount of grain be enough to share?
If it were someone else, there would be no way!
But Bai Su and Rong Yiyi both have systems that allow them to purchase ordinary food from the trading pavilion or plane merchants.
Rong Yiyi's system can only use merit points. Fortunately, merit points have a high purchasing power for ordinary goods. One merit point has the purchasing power of at least 1,000 taels of silver.
But silver cannot be exchanged for merit points.
Of course, special objects are excluded, such as plot props, items with special commemorative significance, etc.
However, Bai Su's task system can exchange silver for points, and then use the points to purchase ordinary supplies in the system mall.
But these points cannot be used to purchase other supplies, such as cultivation resources, etc.
This setting is great!
and so.
The purchase of ordinary supplies was left to Bai Su. He had his own way of doing it. For example, he would buy a stone of grain from a wealthy businessman, but record it at ten times the amount.
That's right!
On the surface, it seems to be false accounting and corruption!
But in fact, it is a real account, but the source is problematic. Bai Su used the means of cultivation to hint at it in the account book, and ordinary people cannot understand it no matter how they check.
As long as the people have enough food and clothing.
He didn't embezzle a single cent, so what does it matter what means he used?
After arriving in Xizhou, the provincial capital began to distribute relief food.
Of course, it cannot be all rice and flour. A lot of it is coarse grains. People are already grateful to be able to fill their stomachs.
The relief food can only last for one month at most. The next thing to do is to distribute grain seeds to the people so that they can resume production as soon as possible.
Bai Su received a small amount of grain seeds from the Ministry of Revenue, but it was a drop in the bucket.
I also purchased some along the way, but it was far from enough, so I could only buy grain seeds from the system mall.
Needless to say, the products produced by the system must be of high quality, including not only grain seeds but also fruit and vegetable seedlings.
The sunlight in Xizhou is relatively strong, so the fruits grown here are bound to be sweeter. There are several kinds of melons here.
However, due to the poor level of planting technology and inferior seedlings, it is not easy to promote.
The seedlings provided by Bai Su were naturally of the best quality. He had already written a detailed plan when he was answering questions during the palace examination. As long as the seedlings were in place, they could be promoted vigorously.
Rong Yiyi read the plan he wrote, which first promoted high-quality seedlings and planting techniques.
Among the people of Xizhou, anyone whose family has participated in the war or has made contributions to the war can receive it for free and learn planting techniques.
Other people had to pay for their expenses by doing labor or working hours. As Xizhou was the gateway to defend against barbarians, defensive fortifications were of paramount importance, and the people had to perform labor service every year.
Therefore, almost all the people in Xizhou were able to receive high-quality seedlings and learn planting techniques in the first year.
The reason for putting forward such conditions is mainly to avoid waste, for fear that some people will receive the seedlings but not plant them properly.
After promoting the melon and fruit seedlings, Bai Su wanted to package Xizhou into a distinctive planting base like the "Hometown of White Melon" and the "Hometown of Grapes".
The above is about agriculture.
His plan also covers cash crops, border trade and other aspects, and provides more feasible solutions.
As long as one or two directions can be achieved, Xizhou will be able to immediately get rid of poverty and move towards a well-off society!
Scare!
Of course, this is what Rong Yiyi thought in her mind. In ancient times, there was no such word as "well-off".
Can be imagined.
This cannot be achieved in one or two years; it will require at least several "five-year plans."
While Rong Yiyi and Bai Su were fighting in Xizhou, the observation particles on the side of the heroine Fang Yingyu gave feedback on a situation.
Fearing that the heroine would come back to life, Rong Yiyi did not take back the observation particles.
Fang Yingyu was convicted of arson and sentenced to two years in prison. Not long after she lost her memory, the soul of the time-traveling girl disappeared inexplicably.
According to the system detection, there is no trace of this time and space. She may have traveled through time. Because she was eliminated early, her travel through time lost its meaning.
I don’t know whether she went back or traveled to another time and space, but this has nothing to do with the Bai family anymore.
However, Rong Yiyi still did not take it back to observe the particles directly. What if Fang Yingyu was penetrated by someone again? She had to be on guard.
What she didn't expect was that after the original Fang Yingyu returned, she recovered her memory and even remembered what the time-traveling girl had done.
She was originally an authentic ancient peasant girl. Not only did this time-travel girl do so many bad things, she was also expelled from her clan and imprisoned. She could not accept it for a while and actually hanged herself with her belt.
Then, there is no more!
Rong Yiyi sighed inwardly and withdrew her observation of the particle.
Poor original owner of Fang Yingyu, I wonder if the plot god can let her be reborn into a good family in the next life, otherwise it would be too miserable.
Therefore, you need to accumulate more merits in your daily life so that you can complete tasks and turn your life around.
Instead of being like Fang Yingyu, who was exploited to the point of being worthless, the original owner had to bear the consequences herself. This is simply inhumane!
But to be honest, only when Fang Yingyu disappears completely can the Bai, Fang and Zhao clans truly rest assured.
It's quite sad too!
Rong Yiyi no longer needed to pay attention to Fang Yingyu. She had already taken back two observation particles from Bai Laoer and Bai Laosan.
There are currently three observation particles that are free to use.
Needless to say.
She used it on the main figures in Xizhou and would never allow them to hold Bai Su back.
In the Bai family in the capital, all you need to do is place an observation particle on Boss Bai.
The three families lived in the same big farm, but in different courtyards.
Every two weeks, Boss Bai would go to the city to meet with the fourth brother, Bai Yan. As the eldest brother, it was his duty to care for and take care of his younger brothers.
Rong Yiyi is very busy. While helping Bai Su implement the Xizhou development plan, she is also working on opening a branch of Xianzhifang.
The branches in Jinzhou and Beijing are all run by managers who have signed indentures, and goods are shipped from Xizhou every six months.
There is no other way. The Xianzhi system is on Rong Yiyi, so the caravan can only transport the goods over.
Of course, you can also use observation particles to transmit directly, but you don’t want to waste observation particles, and you don’t want to create a fantasy event of fabric falling from the sky, so as not to be tracked down.
The main problem is that it’s too troublesome to deal with the aftermath!
Fortunately, the trade routes in Xizhou are gradually recovering, so transportation is not difficult.
Just when Rong Yiyi had completely let go and started paying attention to the heroine of the story, she thought that there would be no heroine in the story during this period.
Who knows.
Something strange happened to the male lead again!
To be precise, the male protagonist is going to get married. He has just made a small engagement with a girl from the royal family, and the background of the plot has been updated!
New storyline is online!
