Chapter 28: Too Dry! Both Problems Have Been Solved
Jiang Haiping's words fell into Jiang Chen's ears.
The hesitation didn't seem to fall on his ears.
Jiang Chen looked at the refugees all over the ground and couldn't help but start thinking.
"There are so many refugees, even if they go to work as farmers."
“That’s also a huge productivity.”
"In modern times, these people would be enough to form a factory."
"I don't even need to pay you a salary, I just need to give you some food and you will follow me wholeheartedly."
"We need to find a way to utilize such a good resource."
And the most important thing.
If Jiang Chen really developed a piece of reclaimed land.
So as the hotel supply.
Whether it is chicken, duck, pig, cattle, or vegetables and fruits.
A stable supply will be formed.
Purely self-produced and self-sold, no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference!
Besides, if he wanted, the manpower cost could be ignored.
This wave, huge profit!
Jiang Chen laughed happily.
Jiang Haiping looked at Jiang Chen's smile.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lord Jiang is so happy?
It seems that he was right!
I couldn't help but give myself a positive thought.
Jiang Haiping said with a smile.
"Master Jiang, have you decided where to draw the fiefdom?"
Jiang Chen reached out and patted Jiang Haiping's shoulder.
"General Jiang is right."
"That mass grave is exactly what I want."
Of course it suits my taste!
The land must be very fertile as no one has mined it for such a long time.
The complex terrain with mountains and water can grow a variety of different crops.
If there are rivers, then fish can be raised.
Where there are mountains, you can plant fruit trees.
dead?
What is that?
There are dead bodies everywhere in Xia Country!
Jiang Chen smiled even more happily.
Jiang Haiping was stunned.
He looked at Jiang Chen's smiling face.
Big mouth, big boss.
Did he say something wrong?
Or is there something wrong with Jiang Chen's understanding?
Why did Jiang Chen understand it the wrong way?
He wanted to correct it.
But he didn't want to spoil Jiang Chen's interest.
So he slowly closed his mouth.
Never mind, just leave it to this lord.
As long as he is happy.
Anyway, if he really set aside that mass grave as his fiefdom.
I will never take a further step.
"Oh, right."
"General Jiang."
"Do you know which lord's house is located at Gate 30 on Jingwu Road?"
"I want to start a small business."
Jiang Chen explored this.
All the ministers in the officialdom have some kind of friendship with each other.
If this shop is really in the hands of the court.
Even if we can't get it right the first time, we can definitely find some ways out.
Hear Jiang Chen's question.
Jiang Haiping thought about it for a while.
In the end, he actually revealed some tricks.
"as far as I know."
"Mr. Zhou Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, owns several shops and houses on Jingwu Road."
"If you have a good idea, you might be able to buy it directly from Master Zhou Xuan."
"Even if he can't, he can still know something."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Towards Jiang Haiping said.
"Okay, then I'll wait three days and ask Master Zhou Xuan again."
Three days later, it was the hundredth day banquet of Zhou Xuan's son.
Instead, he brought some good gifts.
So I found an opportunity to talk to him about this matter.
As for the fiefdom...
In the evening.
Jiang Chen went back to the palace again.
I went to the courtyard, changed my clothes, and took a bath.
Then he went to the imperial study.
The emperor was still lying on the couch.
I feel much better than in the morning.
But he still looked very pale.
This made Jiang Chen worry whether he could survive this winter.
Meet Jiang Chen.
A hint of surprise appeared on the emperor's face.
As if asking.
Why are you here again?
Jiang Chen greeted him readily.
Reported today's situation to the emperor.
The emperor nodded from time to time.
There was still confusion in his eyes.
Jiang Chen put forward his ideas at the end of his report.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a mass grave within a hundred miles of the imperial city."
"I think it's a pity to leave that piece of land empty."
"How about I take the refugees there and open up the land?"
"If we can grow food, we can also settle the refugees."
Hearing Jiang Chen's request, the emperor naturally would not refuse.
He agreed almost immediately.
"My dear, you are thoughtful."
"Just do as you wish."
Jiang Chen's heart suddenly leaped with joy.
Immediately he went with the flow.
"In that case, can I directly set up the fiefdom there?"
"This way, it will be easier to manage the refugees."
The emperor didn't even raise his eyes.
Said in a deep voice.
"Can."
Jiang Chen laughed out loud inwardly.
Then, he asked again inquiringly.
"Then your Majesty, the size of my fiefdom..."
"You can divide it up yourself, as long as it doesn't conflict with other nobles' fiefs."
The emperor frowned.
His face turned even paler.
It seemed that talking to Jiang Chen consumed too much energy.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately expressed his gratitude.
He briefly said a few more things and then immediately left.
Inside the house.
It took the emperor a long time to suppress the discomfort.
He took a sip of the tea that Su Dingxia handed over.
He said intentionally or unintentionally.
"This Jiang Chen has put some thought into the refugees."
Su Dingxia lowered his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty is wise."
The second day.
Jiang Chen led the refugees to the mass grave.
Even the big iron pots that worked day and night were moved to the new home.
Sitting in the carriage all the way.
Jiang Chen was in a very good mood.
After all, you get to decide the boundaries of your own fiefdom.
This was something he didn't even dare to think about before.
A large group of refugees followed Jiang Chen's carriage.
A huge crowd of people.
Although ragged.
But they all had smiles on their faces.
Just now, Lord Jiang, who had been in charge of them, said.
Just follow him to the fiefdom.
If they want, they won't have to wander anymore.
Instead, he can live and take root in his fiefdom.
Wait until spring.
Lord Jiang would also buy them seeds to grow rice and wheat.
Just work hard.
Then there will be no shortage of food in the future.
In this world, Lord Jiang can provide such a guarantee.
It is already a very important commitment.
Therefore, even if he followed Jiang Chen for a hundred miles.
They don't feel tired either.
Instead, he was full of energy and couldn't wait to arrive earlier.
Start a new life early.
They have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
It was evening.
The group finally arrived at the mass grave.
Even though it's a mass grave.
But the refugees were also very excited.
I wish I could just cultivate land on this pile of bones.
Among the crowd, only Jiang Haiping looked as pale as death.
Looking at a gloomy pile of bones.
He wanted to slap himself a few times.
Why are you so mean?
Why do you have to tell Jiang Chen about this place?
Behold, retribution!
Jiang Chen got off the carriage.
Looking at the bones all over the ground.
But I wasn't surprised.
It’s ancient times!
Mass graves are normal.
Standing on the carriage, Jiang Chen looked at the crowds of refugees.
Shouted.
"This will be your home from now on!"
"Are you all happy?"
The crowd was infuriated and started shouting along with Jiang Chen.
"Happy!"
