Chapter 532 The Emperor's Arrangements for the Villagers



"Your wife is very lucky. When the iron box was lost, the clues were found near Jingkai City. Your father tracked it all over the mountain and even went to the lake to look for it, but he couldn't find it. But your wife was just sitting at home, and the iron box was delivered to her door automatically."

Shangguan Ziqi was very impressed by Yu Zheng's luck.

So many people were mobilized to look for her back then, but in the end the lady didn't contribute anything and just disappeared.

"If I wasn't a miracle doctor, the iron box wouldn't have come to me on its own."

Yu Yuzheng didn't think it was because of her good luck, but because Prince Liu was injured and Liu Yunshu happened to be looking for a famous doctor to treat her brother.

"That's right. It's just luck. There were so many doctors but I chose my brother's wife instead." The emperor still felt that Yu Zheng was a lucky star.

"Your Majesty, that mountain is quite large. I estimate that it will take me decades to finish harvesting." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.

"Well, if our Great Wei has enough iron, the price can be lowered, and the bearing technology designed by the national guardian can be fully rolled out so that the people can use it. Our goods circulation can be accelerated a lot, and the people can sell their things faster, which will be of great benefit to people's livelihood."

Yu Yuzheng saw that the emperor always thought about the people's livelihood.

good!

"Your Majesty says so." Shangguan Ziqi agreed.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans for Haiyue Island?" Yu Yuzheng asked.

Thinking that the four girls from the Chun family would be here soon, she had to give them an accurate answer. It would probably not be long before she would have to let them go back so that she could persuade the villagers to move out.

“At this time, I have also discussed this with my father.

That is a treasure island. Since our Great Wei has discovered it, it is our Great Wei’s territory.

The villagers on the island are also citizens of our Great Wei.

I have already issued an edict to Hongchang County, asking Magistrate Qin to select a piece of land that can accommodate one thousand people.

Then arrange for the soldiers in the navy to help them open up wasteland first. Once they get out, they will have land to cultivate. It is also close to the sea, so it is convenient for them to go out to sea to fish. This ensures that their life out there is basically the same as their life on the island.

They have lived in isolation from the outside world for more than a hundred years, and I was worried that they might not be able to adapt to life outside for a while, so I arranged for them to live together.

Hongchang County happens to be the sea port for our Dawei Island. If they want to go back to the island, they can go back by boat at any time, allowing them to gradually adapt to life outside.

As for the sulfur mining on the island, the Ministry of War is responsible for that matter."

"Your Majesty, if we have enough sulfur, we can also distribute some to farmers to kill insects on crops and increase crop yields." Yu Yuzheng made a suggestion.

She suddenly thought that sulfur could be used as a pesticide.

"The Lord of the State is right. Sulfur can be used to kill insects. Until now, only some wealthy families have used it in pots when growing vegetables.

Ordinary people don't have the money to buy it for insect repellent.

If we have enough sulfur, the price will naturally drop to a level that the people can afford, and the grain production of our Great Wei will be increased again in the future." The emperor said with a smile on his face.

"You have gained a lot from this voyage. I want to go out and take a look someday."

The emperor often fantasized about becoming the emperor emeritus.

He looked at the eldest prince, but he was only a few years old, so he still had a long way to go.

But there is always a chance.

When he returned to Prince Edward's Palace, the old butler said that there were guests visiting.

The couple did not even enter the inner courtyard, but came to the main hall of the outer courtyard.

As soon as I entered, I saw several foreigners sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

As soon as they saw the couple come in, they stood up immediately.

"Respected Prince Rong, Your Highness, hello." Several people bowed in unison.

The leader was a handsome young man, quite tall, who looked 70% like Edward whom I had met that year. It was obvious at first glance that he was his son.

The others were also young men.

"Hello. Please sit down, please sit down." Yu Yu Zheng immediately invited them to take a seat.

The couple walked to the main seat and sat down.

Then I looked at the people carefully. There were six of them in total, and I didn't recognize any of them.

"You are Jack, right?" Yu Zheng asked first.

"Yes, Your Highness, my father knows you." Jack stood up and bowed again.

"Why didn't your father come with you this time?"

As soon as Yu Zheng asked this question, the smile on Jack's face disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zheng asked with a frown.

"My father was racing horses with his friends three years ago and accidentally fell off his horse, breaking his leg. He has been unable to stand up ever since. He knew that Your Highness is an excellent doctor, so he sent me to Wei to invite Your Highness and Prince Rong to visit Esther." Jack looked at Yu Zheng pleadingly.

The meaning was obvious. He hoped that Yu Zheng would take the opportunity to go abroad and give him medical treatment.

Of course, he was probably just trying it out. It was so far away, Yu Yuanzheng might not go there, but he had to try it anyway. Jack was coming to Dawei to trade anyway.

"That's it. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay in Dawei temporarily. When we are ready, we will set out with you. My emperor is also planning to send us as an envoy to Esteria." Yu Zheng was not afraid of trouble.

She could take this opportunity to ask Edward for glass making technology.

Even if he doesn't understand, he can find a way to solve it for him.

"Thank you, Lord Guardian of the Nation." Jack was very happy to hear that it was so easy to invite the Lord Guardian of the Nation.

Then he presented the gift he had brought.

It is an exquisite crown jewelry. At first glance, it is really radiant and breathtaking.

The pure gold base is inlaid with dozens of diamonds of different sizes. Each diamond has been finely polished and reflects a colorful halo when it rotates.

The pigeon blood ruby ​​in the center looks like solidified blood, surrounded by fine emerald green, forming a blooming rose pattern.

On both sides of the platinum vines extend small sapphires dotted like dewdrops.

Even Shangguan Ziqi's eyes lit up.

Yu Zheng held it in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Their jewelry processing has reached such an advanced level.

"I like it so much, thank you, Mr. Jack." Yu Yuzheng thanked sincerely.

This piece of jewelry alone is estimated to be priceless. Of course, this is in the future, and she cannot estimate its current value.

"It's my honor that my master likes it." Jack was very happy after hearing Yu Zheng's words, which showed that the gift touched the other party's heart.

After receiving such an expensive gift, Yu Yuzheng and his wife invited them to have dinner at the palace, but they refused, knowing that His Majesty the Lord was busy recently and it would be inconvenient to disturb them.

Yu Zheng didn't force it.

Now there are disciples in the capital who have been taught by her who can speak foreign languages, so there is no need for her to receive them.

The next day, Yu Yuzheng had a rare good sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a little girl sitting in front of the bed, smiling at her.

"Good morning, uncle."

"Xiao Yue'er?" Yu Zheng smiled happily, "Since you're here, why didn't you wake me up?"

The little girl, who was already thirteen years old, had a gentle and sweet smile, just like her mother.

Shangguan Ru raised her daughter well, making her as gentle and quiet as she is.

"Yuer knows that uncle is tired and needs a good rest. Yuer wants to see uncle earlier, so I will wait for you here when you wake up. You can see Yuer as soon as you open your eyes." Zhong Yue said with a shy smile.

"Your mother is here too?"

"Our whole family is here. Dad is in the study outside talking to my uncle, and mom and my brother are in the grandparents' courtyard."

Yu Zheng quickly got up, packed up, and brought Zhong Yue to the main courtyard.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Shangguan Ru watching a few children playing in the yard, but the movement of her hands made Yu Zheng think of a possibility.
