In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jun and his companions had been in Beidi County for ten days.
It is already the end of May.
Cotton planting in the north has basically come to an end, and most people's homes are growing cotton.
She also directed the people to build a compost pit like the Wang family's, which was almost completed.
Now we just have to wait for time, for the seedlings to grow, and for the composting time to come, and then all that remains is fertilizing and weeding.
And Zhao Jun doesn't have to worry about those things anymore.
Zhao Jun caught up with the last bit of spring in the north and completed the spring planting, so he felt relieved.
But she always finds trouble for herself, and now she is thinking about the trade between the North and the outside world.
"Let's discuss this behind closed doors. What do you think of my idea of opening a trade market in the North?"
Among the officials, Zhao Jun first mentioned this idea to Qingliu Mengyi.
"What is mutual trade?" Qingliu didn't understand.
"Look, aren't there people from the North doing business outside the Great Wall? I want to set aside an area in Beidi County near the Great Wall for the people of the North to do business with people from outside the Great Wall."
"This market is under our management. Anyone who wishes to do business here, whether from the North or outside the Great Wall, must not engage in conflict or attack each other. They must only conduct fair and just transactions. The North will send special soldiers to guard this market, and anyone who causes trouble will be arrested."
"Of course, if they are just people from outside the Great Wall who want to do business peacefully, our soldiers will never arrest them."
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the expressions of the two people.
Qingliu was the first to answer. The longer she had been with Zhao Jun, the more she knew that adults had many strange ideas in their heads.
But all these ideas are good for the people and none of them will fail.
So of course she is.
"Of course I agree with your Excellency."
But she also has her own thoughts.
"Since the private transactions between the two peoples will not stop, why not bring these transactions out into the open? This will actually better protect the safety of the people in the north, and they won't have to worry about running to the border to do business."
"Oh, Qingliu is right. It seems that you have understood my intention."
Zhao Jun smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Qingliu shook her head and her face flushed slightly.
"Where is Lord Meng?"
She went to look at Meng Yi, who had not expressed any opinion.
"I don't have much objection to your idea, sir. I'm just worried about its implementation."
Meng Yi frowned. To be honest, he had always regarded the Huns as a group of extremely cruel and vicious people.
But after being in the north for so long, he also realized that some people outside the Great Wall are actually quite good.
And the North really needs their things, and this kind of transaction cannot be stopped.
So now he is not so prejudiced against people from outside the Great Wall.
He also agreed with Zhao Jun's idea.
"Just like Miss Qingliu said, I agree with your Excellency's idea, but the initiative of the trade must be in our hands. This is the most basic requirement, but there are still many subsequent issues that need to be resolved."
Meng Yi said.
Qingliu was a little surprised. Was this guy just saying that what she said was right?
"The most important thing is that we must first communicate with the King, and..."
Meng Yi paused.
"Also, if we want to do this, we must deal with Commandant Ma, who..."
Meng Yi is no longer called General Ma Hong.
They gave him face because he once served under General Wang Jian. In fact, he is just a county lieutenant now.
Since he had shown a bad attitude to him several times before, Meng Yi had completely given up on caring about him.
"He, hum."
Zhao Jun sneered twice.
"I don't think he wants to be the boss of Beidi County. He'd better cooperate obediently this time. If he dares to overstep his authority and do something insubordinate again."
She paused for a moment, then asked Meng Yi.
"Anyway, I'm going to write to the king about this. I remember you're here to see your brother. I'll ask for his approval to let General Meng Tian come over for a few days. It's not that far away anyway."
Zhao Jun looked at him meaningfully and smiled.
He really thinks that no one can do anything to him because the emperor is far away.
I can shake people.
"Haha, then I really have to thank you, sir. It saves me from going all the way to Shangjun."
Of course Meng Yi understood what Zhao Jun meant and started laughing too.
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, I will write a letter to the king immediately to explain this matter."
After the internal discussion, Zhao Jun immediately started to send the letter out.
But on the night that Zhao Jun sent the letter, something suddenly happened that caught her off guard.
The night sky is as dark as ink, dotted with stars.
The weather is getting a little warmer as we enter early summer.
At that time, Zhao Jun was sitting in the yard admiring the romantic night sky.
I also planned to relax for a few days and sleep in before receiving a reply from Xianyang.
At this moment, the mirror rang without warning.
Ever since the last time the mirror accused her of not coming to the temple for no reason.
Zhao Jun would still chat with it when he was free, or complain to it when his work was too hard.
But the situation today is obviously different.
Here, someone contacted her actively, who was it?
Never mind, there were only two of them, so she didn't take it seriously. She thought they wanted to exchange something, so she quickly connected.
But when I heard it, I realized it was really bad.
"You mean the old man is in the hospital?!"
That's the communication from the old man's granddaughter.
And he dropped a big bomb on her right from the start.
The old man has been in a coma in the hospital for several days. Although he is awake now, he may not be able to hold on for much longer.
Zhao Jun was in a daze for a while after hearing this.
This, the old man was in good health before, what happened?
She felt a little sad when she thought of the old man who had always been kind and helpful to her.
But now there is another very important thing Zhao Jun wants to know.
"Mirror, mirror, if the connector of this world dies, will this world close, or will it find a new connector?"
Zhao Jun asked impatiently.
The mirror soon gave an answer.
"That's right. If the connected person dies, the system will reconnect the world, but there is no guarantee that it can still connect to the original world."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jun's head went dark again.
Well, if the old man’s condition really stems from health reasons, then Zhao Jun can only consider himself unlucky.
But this is too unlucky!
"Listen to me, grandpa isn't completely hopeless."
Hearing silence from her side, the woman quickly spoke again.
Hearing this, Zhao Jun's blood pressure rose again in an instant.
"Well, tell me slowly what happened to the old man."
Zhao Jun calmed down and planned to listen to the matter clearly first.
