May, midsummer.
The emperor's convoy was stationed at Onoze.
Daye Lake is one of the nine ancient lakes.
The land is vast and rich in resources, with many water systems converging.
The transportation is convenient and the aquatic products are abundant.
Three hundred miles from north to south and more than a hundred miles from east to west.
There are also many birds and animals in the swamp.
Wild geese, wild ducks, elk, wild boars...
Looking around, birds are flying.
Occasionally it swoops over the lake.
Catch silverfish easily and fly away quickly.
There are also fishermen paddling bamboo rafts and making nets to catch fish.
This is how ordinary people live.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.
Onozawa is a natural lake.
So there are many fishermen and hunters in the area.
Emperor Feng stood by the river.
Overlooking the beautiful lake view.
Ning Que was beside him and was also very emotional.
There are countless beautiful sights in the world.
It's nice to come out and take a look occasionally.
“It’s so beautiful here.”
"yes."
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back and did not leave for a long time.
These are all the beautiful scenery of Dafeng!
He could never get enough of it in his lifetime.
"Xiao Ning, news has come from Jingyang." Emperor Feng continued, still gazing at the lake, a smile on his face. "The winter wheat harvest is abundant, yielding one and a half dan per mu. The people are celebrating, and have already planted millet. If nothing unexpected happens, we can harvest another crop before winter."
"That's good."
Ning Que smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
He knew this early on.
As Jingyang was his fiefdom, any benefits would be prioritized in Jingyang. Since officially taking over, Ning Que had poured considerable funds into the area. As a result, even during the locust plague, Jingyang actually fared better than its neighboring counties.
Ning Que is not a saint.
He naturally has selfish motives.
Besides, Jingyang has paid too much over the years.
Every household was devastated, and countless lives were sacrificed.
It has the reputation of being a meritorious county, but people live a hard life.
For three years, Ning Que gave up management rights in order to remain dormant.
This caused the people of Jingyang to suffer in vain.
Now that he has inherited the title of king, he will not treat them unfairly.
"Besides, there's the wool you mentioned."
"The Qiang sheep were recently infected with sheep plague, but fortunately, it was brought under control in time. We've started plucking the wool with bamboo strips and using traditional methods to soak it to remove the grease and smell. Simply stuffing them will keep them warm and keep them warm. Xiaoning, you've made another remarkable contribution to Dafeng."
"This is all thanks to my royal brother's wise leadership."
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Feng smiled heartily.
Bu Suanzi was very impressed.
What ordinary people care about are food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It is not easy to have enough food and warm clothing.
Both winter wheat and sweaters can benefit the people.
In Bu Suanzi's opinion, it is far stronger than martial arts.
Dynasties will fall.
Everyone will die eventually.
History will continue to evolve.
And these technological crystallizations will never disappear.
They will be passed down from generation to generation.
Benefit the world for eternity!
"The messenger has gone forward to inform King Lu."
"They will arrive tomorrow."
"What does Xiao Ning think of Ludi?"
"It's okay."
The King of Lu was the weakest among the kings of different surnames.
So they could only rely on Emperor Feng.
When he married his daughter, he even ceded an entire county as a dowry.
Now there are only two counties in Lu.
They are Jibei County and Jinan County respectively.
The kings of Lu in all dynasties were loyal and honest people.
Abide by your responsibilities.
The Prince of Lu was originally established to defend against the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. As Dafeng recovered its lost territory, the Prince of Lu's role changed, becoming a pawn to counterbalance the Prince of Qi.
The royal family of Lu also often intermarried with the people of Dafeng.
So we walked quite close.
However, King Lu's abilities were limited.
Coupled with geographical restrictions, development is extremely poor.
They were completely dominated by the State of Qi.
If it weren’t for Dafeng’s support, it would have been gone long ago.
"Haha, good." Emperor Feng smiled and waved his hand. "You also know how important Lu is. Later, when you are stationed in Linzi, you will naturally have more interactions with the King of Lu, but you still need to be cautious."
"I understand."
Ning Que raised his hand and took his leave.
The most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart.
It is possible that the King of Qi and the King of Lu were having an affair.
You must be on guard against others...
For example, Emperor Feng had no intention of entering the city this time.
Instead, he summoned King Lu to meet him at Daye Lake.
Then he would go directly to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
The scenery of Onozawa is indeed beautiful.
You definitely won’t see it in Chang’an.
Passing along the front, soldiers were setting up camp, while the kitchen was busy preparing lunch, and many people were preparing live fish.
Ōnoze is famous for its fish, which is tender and smooth, and delicious no matter how it is prepared. The most popular dish is sashimi, served with mustard sauce, which attracts countless gourmets.
Ning Que had specifically instructed that fish sashimi be omitted. One should be careful about what one puts in their mouths; fish sashimi is raw fish, so there's no guarantee it won't be parasites. Ning Que had previously heard from Chang Baicao about a patient in Linzi who died after vomiting half a liter of worms...
Fortunately, these chefs all trained at the palace and were known for their specialties. For example, they painstakingly pounded fish balls, steamed fish with soy sauce and chopped green onions, and the famous wild vinegar fish and squirrel mandarin fish.
"Hurry up, everyone!"
"There's a thorn in the fish ball, watch your skin!"
Lin Jiang put his hands on his hips and gave orders in a domineering manner.
He is now openly Gu Yuan's man.
Serving as the chief clerk is equivalent to being Gu Yuan's secretary.
In fact, it was not his turn to be in charge of the kitchen, but he had been bullied by these cooks before, so he came here to show off.
Ning Que just glanced at him.
