Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

As soon as Li Jinglan said the words "transfer" and "exchange", her expression changed slightly.

This doesn't fit with her personality.

Her character is that of a relatively smart woman in the harem, who is not supposed to understand the government affairs of the court.

But Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin were both attracted by Li Jinglan's words about branch fortune and exchange fortune.

Didn't think deeply about it.

Lu Bozhou asked hurriedly, "I know about transfer, but what do you mean by exchange?"

The transshipment method is also called the branch transportation method, which means that the people in the grain-producing areas transport the grain to Huai'an, and then the grain transporters transport the supplies to Xuzhou, and then from Xuzhou to other places until they reach the destination.

The common people had no means of transporting food, so they could only send as many people as possible from one village or town to transport food. This was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also caused great losses in food and necessities for people and horses on the road.

In fact, it has increased the burden on the people.

In order to reduce the burden on the people, the imperial court decided that all people involved in grain transportation would be exempt from grain tax.

If the people have paid grain taxes, they do not have to participate in grain transportation.

But whether it is paying grain taxes or participating in grain transportation, it is a burden for the common people.

People are delayed in transporting grain all year round, which seriously affects agricultural production.

Li Jinglan organized her words and said, "I thought, since the people are going to transport grain to the Huai'an warehouse, why not transport the grain to the nearby garrisons or to the government offices involved in transporting grain?"

"The people only need to transport the grain to the garrisons and government offices and don't have to worry about the rest. The government will organize the transportation."

"My husband and Brother Zhou both understand farming seasons. The time to transport grain is the busy farming season. Transporting grain at this time will greatly affect the farming season."

"There is another point, which is the grain transport ships. When the grain transport ships are in operation, they need to go to Huai'an empty first and wait. The Huai'an warehouse will assign them to transport grain."

"If the grain ships are loaded locally and dispatched by the government or the garrison, they can go directly from the local area to the capital."

"In this way, there is no need to go to Huai'an with an empty ship... a lot of unnecessary time is saved."

Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin looked at each other and found that each other's eyes lit up.

Then neither of them spoke, digesting Li Jinglan's words.

In fact, whether it is transshipment or exchange, Li Jinglan only knows the general idea.

After all, she had never governed the country personally, and was only at the stage of talking about it on paper.

The method of exchange and transportation that she mentioned was actually proposed by Zhou Jin in her previous life.

Zhou Jin spoke first: "I'll write a proposal later."

"I will also write a proposal, and then we can verify it with each other." Lu Bozhou also said.

For a major transportation project like this, it's not like you can just make a suggestion and implement it nationwide immediately.

That would bring disaster to the country and the people.

After making a suggestion, an on-site inspection is required, and then overall coordination around the suggestion is carried out in combination with local affairs.

In addition to the transport capacity of the grain transport, we must also refer to the grain production of each prefecture and county, how many grain transport ships this prefecture and county has, and how many grain transport soldiers can be mobilized.

Otherwise, you load a few ships of grain, and I load a few ships of grain, and we don’t know each other.

It can only be implemented gradually after overall coordination.

We have to start with a pilot project, then expand from point to surface, and then gradually spread across the country.

There are many policies that had good intentions in the beginning, but because they were implemented on a whim, they turned out to be disastrous for the country, harming not only the people but also the government.

Next, Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin were both thinking about something and didn't even move their chopsticks.

Seeing that the two were not eating, Li Jinglan simply asked them to go out and write.

Zhou Jin did not return to his home.

They lived directly in Lu Bozhou's study, and the two of them each occupied a desk and began to write furiously.

They kept writing until Gao Daxi came over and called them.

"Your Highness, Editor Zhou, it's time to go to the morning court." Gao Daxi brought two breakfasts.

The two of them had a quick breakfast and tidied their appearance.

Then he went to the morning court.

Li Jinglan got up when the morning court session began.

After feeding little Prince Lu twice at night, Li Jinglan was also very sleepy.

After breakfast, she called Zhao Zhengyi and Lu Sheng over.

When Zhao Zhengyi heard that they were asked to go to Huai'an together to inquire about the matter, he was very excited.

Ever since Gao Daxi came, he and Lu Sheng have had nothing to do.

Gao Daxixi is a know-it-all in the capital and is very familiar with the officials.

He was also familiar with palace etiquette.

With Gao Daxi around, Zhao Zhengyi felt marginalized and useless.

How could he not be excited when he heard that Li Jinglan wanted to use him and Lu Sheng?

"We will definitely help the princess get things done."

Li Jinglan gently instructed the two, "You go to Huai'an under the guise of opening up trade routes for the palace, such as canned agricultural products and seafood from the sea. You can ask around. If you come across a trade route that suits our family, you can do it. But you can't oppress the people, and you can't steal the business of small vendors."

The two listened attentively.

Li Jinglan added, "You can't stop doing things at home after you leave. Although our Lu's Canned Food Store doesn't make a few hundred taels of silver a year, it is a way for all the villagers in Xishui Village to make money."

"Shops and trade routes still need to be run well."

"Let your children take charge of these matters." Li Jinglan said with a smile.

The two became even more excited.

After leaving Li Jinglan's place, the two discussed for a long time and were ready to put all their energy into doing this matter.

"Not only do we need to find out what we need to find out, but we also need to open up a new trade route for the palace."

Zhao Zhengyi said so.

Lu Sheng nodded repeatedly: "I think so too."

The two of them made intensive preparations.

Since we are going to Huai'an, we cannot travel light.

Instead, he went out in a serious manner with his servants.

The more this is the case, the less suspicious it is.

It would be problematic if the two housekeepers of the royal palace secretly ran away to other places.

The two of them also took Yang Laoshi with them.

Maybe there are some new fertilizers or high-quality seeds in Jiangnan.

A few days later, Zhao Zhengyi and Lu Sheng were ready to set off.

Before leaving, Li Jinglan asked Yang Laoshi, "Is there anything wrong at home?"

Yang Laoshi shook his head: "It's nothing serious, Mr. Gu has adopted a son."

Yuan Er, who escaped here, had been ill for nearly half a month and is only now slowly getting better.

Yuan Er is very grateful to Mr. Gu and is willing to take him as his godfather and take care of Mr. Gu and his wife until their death.

After Mr. Gu drank Yuan Er's tea, Yang Laoshi treated Yuan Er as his own.

Li Jinglan was also very happy to hear that Mr. Gu had someone to take care of him in his old age.

"Where is Yuan Er from? Is he honest?" Li Jinglan asked.

Yang answered honestly, "He is from Henan. He is well educated, but unfortunately he has a scar on his face. He is quite honest and hardworking. He does whatever Mr. Gu asks him to do."

Li Jinglan didn't think much about it and nodded slightly, "That's good."

Not long after Zhao Zhengyi and others left, Yuan came to ask for a meeting.

After hearing Yuan Lai's words, Li Jinglan's expression changed slightly: "Corpse?"

"Yes, I have some connections in the underworld. Someone in the underworld told me yesterday that a body was found."

"I asked someone to confirm that these people were the ones who pretended to be from the Dali Temple and hunted down Wei Yan a few days ago. I don't know why they suddenly died on the roadside."

Li Jinglan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Wei Yan sent a eunuch to deliver the luggage to them and then disappeared.

The family also disappeared.

Then someone pretended to be from the Dali Temple and hunted down Wei Yan.

Now the person who pretended to be him has also been killed.

"Find Wei Yan!" Li Jinglan said.

The root of everything lies with Wei Yan.

Only by finding Wei Yan can we know what exactly happened.

……

"Wonderful!"

At this time, the emperor saw the proposal submitted by Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin.

I couldn't help but slam the table.

"Please ask Lord Wang to come over!" The emperor read the proposal several times and asked Liu Quan to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to call someone.

Wang Ge Lao, the then Minister of Revenue, did not dare to neglect the news from Liu Quan and immediately entered the palace.

After reading the proposal, Lord Wang's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, this is a great idea. If we can load grain on the ship and transport it around the country, we can save a lot of manpower and money."

When his son's proposal was praised, the emperor was as happy as eating an ice cube in the middle of summer.

He laughed loudly: "Stop praising him, Mr. Lord. He is still young, what does he know? The proposal is well written, but it is difficult to implement. There are so many counties and canal transport that need to be coordinated and coordinated. How can one proposal clearly describe them?"

Having said that, the emperor could not hide the smug look on his face.

Elder Wang strikes while the iron is hot: "Why not let His Royal Highness Prince Pei take charge of this matter?"

When the emperor suddenly called Lu Bozhou's name and asked him about the grain transport during the morning court session that day, this was actually what he meant.

He nodded when he heard this.

Lu Bozhou did not achieve any achievements, and the officials were dissatisfied.

The canal transport was a good opportunity to open up a new market.

Only after you have made achievements can you move on.

The emperor smiled and said, "Call Prince Pei into the palace."
