Chapter 566 Brother Zhuer is mighty
How smart is Nanyu?
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Jiu, I know that the fiefdom also needs money to build, and I won't have any ideas."
Everyone can say nice things, but He Zhiran doesn't believe that anyone can resist the temptation of high profits.
Anyway, she and Mo Jiuye had nothing to worry about. They had a large number of bombs in their hands. Nan Yu knew this when they defeated Nanjiang and the barbarians six years ago.
Nan Yu chose not to ask, which shows that he has brains, because even if he told them, Mo Jiuye and his wife would not hand over the method of making bombs, and it would inevitably make people feel wary.
The few of them continued walking, and Nan Yu kept asking questions along the way.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, is that the snow-white paper you see on the market made from here?"
"Yes, there are two paper mills in the northwest. The white paper you are talking about is used for writing. There is also a new paper mill in front that produces tissue paper."
Speaking of tissue paper, Nan Yu is no stranger to it.
Because Tang Mingrui was capable, as soon as he got the agency rights for paper towels, he immediately sent someone to deliver some of each type to Nan Yu.
Tang Mingrui thought this tissue was so easy to use. It was so convenient to use it when going to the toilet...
"Paper towels are indeed a good thing." Nan Yu couldn't help but praise.
Keep walking, keep asking.
"Is this the cannery?"
"Yes, the amount of fruit produced in the mountains of the northwest is huge. In order to sell it to more distant places, I came up with this idea."
"So this is a sugar factory? A place that specializes in making granulated sugar?"
"Yes, I found that the arable land over there is not suitable for growing crops, but sugarcane has a very high yield. So I asked the people over there to plant more sugarcane to make granulated sugar."
Nan Yu nodded continuously as he listened, and he knew in his heart that Mo Jiuye did not have such a mind. These ideas must have been thought up by He Zhiran. What else could a husband ask for with a wife like this?
Then he thought about his harem. Although there weren't many women in it, they only knew how to dress up to seduce him...
There was no other way. He also wanted to expand the royal family. Otherwise, he would not care about those vulgar women.
Nan Yu's thoughts changed rapidly. He understood the principle of doing one's job best. Now was not the time to think about those things. He came to the northwest because he felt that there was no one in the court with whom he could talk freely. So he thought of Mo Jiuye. Although they did not communicate much, they always maintained an equal attitude.
In addition, he also heard many rumors about the Northwest. Some people said that the economy of the Northwest was countless times better than that of Dashun.
Someone also told him that all the goods for Tang Mingrui, the imperial merchant of Dashun, come from the northwest. He wanted to see how Mo Jiuye and his wife achieved all this in just a few years.
The most important goal is that he also wants the people under his rule to live a better life. Many things he can't think of may become clear to him when he goes to the northwest.
This is indeed the case. In the northwest, he saw factories producing refined salt, garment factories, pickle factories, wineries, tea factories, and so on.
Not only are these factories and workshops capable of generating unlimited profits, but the environment in the Northwest is also unmatched by Dashun.
Not only that, he didn't see any idle land in the northwest, and even the surrounding mountains were fully utilized.
The houses where the common people live are all made of bricks and tiles, and are even as magnificent as those in the wealthy areas of the capital.
Of course, this kind of grandeur only refers to the style of the house. In terms of size, the residences of these ordinary people cannot be compared with those of the powerful and wealthy families in the capital.
This is enough. What does he want from working so hard every day as an emperor?
Isn’t it just to let the people of Dashun live a good life?
Although he couldn't imitate all of Mo Jiuye and his wife's money-making techniques, there were still many things worth learning.
After returning, he will encourage the people to reclaim more wasteland and turn the wasteland into treasure as soon as possible.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran have never been stingy with these high-yield grain varieties. As long as the crops do not affect the Northwest economy, they are willing to do Nanyu a favor.
In fact, they have been doing so for a long time. Now these high-yield grains are also being grown in Dashun. In recent years, both the people's homes and the national treasury have stored grain.
Even when famine occurred occasionally, not only could the imperial court allocate a large amount of food for disaster relief, but the people could also save themselves.
Therefore, during the years that Nan Yu ascended the throne, the people no longer starved to death.
Although Dashun did not develop as rapidly as the Northwest, the fact that the people did not starve to death shows that Nanyu's achievements were outstanding.
In addition, there are grassland areas in Dashun. After returning, he will follow Mo Jiuye and others and encourage the people to raise a large number of horses, cattle and sheep.
Because the number of horses, cattle and sheep raised in the northwest region, including the barbarian territory, has gradually increased, Nanyu has abolished the rule prohibiting the slaughter of working oxen.
Mo Jiuye said in his memorial that the cattle they raised were beef cattle, which were for human consumption.
He has also tasted the beef jerky sent from the northwest many times. The taste is simply amazing and much more delicious than the pork he usually eats.
Nan Yu can make up for his weaknesses by learning from others' strengths, and never lets some unreasonable old rules affect his thinking.
He also planned to discuss the matter of raising beef cattle with Mo Jiuye during his trip to the northwest. The purpose was to introduce some calves so that the people of Dashun could also engage in breeding.
In short, Nan Yu benefited a lot from his trip around the northwest with Mo Jiuye and his wife.
Although he was traveling incognito, he was the emperor of a country after all, so Mo Jiuye naturally had to entertain him with the highest standards.
Although there are countless delicious foods on Northwest Commercial Street, everyone knows that there is still a big gap between these and the food made in the palace kitchen.
Nanyu will live in the palace, so he will naturally have his meals there.
After walking for so long, everyone was indeed a little tired, so Mo Jiuye suggested going back to the palace to rest.
As soon as I entered the palace and walked around a few corridors, I heard the cheers of children.
"Brother Zhu'er is so mighty..."
"Brother Zhu'er is so awesome..."
In the middle of the huge open space, on the martial arts stage, stood a little boy who looked to be about six or seven years old.
Zhu'er stood straight, holding a long sword that matched his size, and stared at the children of all ages below the stage with a serious face.
"Who else wants to challenge?" Although the voice was still childish, the tone carried the solemnity of a superior.
The twenty or so children in the audience all looked up at the stage, their eyes full of admiration.
At this time, Yu'er came over here carrying a basket of fruits.
"Prince, you have been training with the young masters and young ladies for an entire afternoon. Come and have some fruit to quench your thirst."
