I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Then you don't have anything else that you like?" Song Shiqiu clenched his fists slightly. He found that Lin Jin didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about anything. The only thing he seemed to be enthusiastic about was hoeing the land and clearing the wasteland.

If you like jewelry, jade and other things, it’s easy to get.

"Something I like? It seems I don't have one." Lin Jin thought about it. It seemed that she didn't have anything she particularly liked. Gold, silver and treasures could be considered, but she only wanted to have some extra money, not worry about food and drink, and not panic when she was sick.

Lin Jin focuses on land reclamation every day and has no time to think about other things. She feels that her life now is pretty good and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

She washed her hands and took the handkerchief handed to her by Lianyi: "In a few days it will be Qingming Festival. I plan to learn how to make jujube paste cake and bring some to Sister Shixia. And who will own the saline-alkali land after it is reclaimed?"

The reason why most of the land in this era is in the hands of the powerful is because land is scarce. Because the interests of these people cannot be shaken, even if Your Majesty and Song Shiqiu want to divide the land, it will be difficult.

But now saline-alkali land can be improved, and the land that was originally barren can be used to grow crops in the future. Can these lands be divided into fields?

Song Shiqiu realized that no matter what he talked about with Lin Jin, the topic would eventually return to farming. He saw the desire in Lin Jin's eyes: "Do you want to divide the land?"

"Yeah." Lin Jin responded in a low voice. The two were very close now, and only the two of them could hear what they said. "There are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, but there are very few people who can truly be called farmers. If you want to select more talents, you must first make sure that those people can afford to read."

Although some people say that businessmen are the last, if they have money, they can do business first and then let their children and grandchildren go to school, but business is not that easy to do.

The wages that workers received were barely enough to cover a family's expenses. Few could save any extra money, and even if they did, it was not enough to cover their studies.

So the most fundamental thing is agriculture. As long as there is land, the family expenses can be guaranteed. In this era, in addition to exchanging money for goods, goods can also be exchanged for goods. Having land is the most basic. People don’t need to farm, but she wants everyone to have land to farm.

"The ice three feet thick does not form overnight. Ajin, what you said is certainly right, but only steady and solid progress can truly change the plight of the people today. Building a tall building on flat ground, will it be able to withstand the strong winds and heavy rains?" Song Shiqiu knew Lin Jin's thoughts, but the things involved could not be explained in just a few words.

Lin Jin understood, she smiled and said, "Even if you are an adult, you can't be like that, right?"

"Not to mention me, even Your Majesty cannot do that." It is true that there are many parties in the court, but land and official positions are the common interests of everyone. Even though these people quarrel all day long, if the common interests are really affected, they can immediately unite.

He has already touched the fat piece of meat, the official position, over the years, and if he touches the land again, they will surely attack him in groups.

It takes a single tree to build a boat. Although he is a loyal minister and has no deep ties with any aristocratic family, he still has the support of many aristocratic families behind him. Even on Su Chengan's side, there are many children of aristocratic families who are training in the army and seeking an official position.

Although there are many children from poor families in the court and military camps today, most of them are still from aristocratic families. In recent years, the aristocratic families seem to have been suppressed and have no say, but it does not mean that these people are really made of paper. If they are really provoked, they can stir up the world.

The children from poor families are his real swords. Why does he send them out of the capital to train for three years before transferring them back to the capital? One reason is to see their abilities, but more importantly, he wants these children from poor families to accumulate experience and reputation.

The capital city has long been occupied by aristocratic families, and it is very difficult to get promoted directly in the capital. Places far away from the capital are the breeding grounds where people from humble backgrounds can really display their talents.

Song Shiqiu looked at the slightly depressed Lin Jin and curled his lips: "Why, are you sad? Suddenly you realize that I can't really make things happen?"

"Ah? No." It was just something that was expected, so Lin Jin was not sad. "It's just that I feel sorry for my own kind."

Lin Jin experienced the hardships of the lower class people when he was a child, so he wanted to make their lives better even more.

"People are poor, and many people can't survive a cold winter. I feel sorry for them. Life will get better, but there is hope only if they can survive."

"I understand what you want in your heart." Song Shiqiu whispered, coaxing and comforting, "Take it step by step."

Lin Jin smiled. What she said was right. Song Shiqiu had also been working hard to make the people live a good life. He had survived all these years. Why was she so impatient now?

Probably because Song Shiqiu came, the dishes cooked in the kitchen today were particularly rich, as if it was New Year’s Day.

Lin Jin was confused by the rich dishes. Song Shiqiu raised his eyebrows: "I remember that you usually eat light food."

"Can't you allow me to have a good appetite recently? I've gone to open up wasteland, and you still have objections to eating a few bites of your meat?" Lin Jin knew what these people meant, "If you don't like it, then..."

"No need to bother." Seeing that she was about to order him to leave, Song Shiqiu quickly tried to make amends, "I'm just worried that you'd suffer if you ate it."

At the beginning, Lin Jin was in poor health and had a bad stomach, so the palace doctor had told him to take good care of himself and not to eat too much meat for the time being. But now that he thought things were different, it should be okay even if he ate it.

Seeing the harmonious scene of the two people having dinner, Lianyi suspected that Song Shiqiu might stay tonight, so she told others to prepare hot water and help Lin Jin take a bath.

There was a festive atmosphere inside and outside the Bikong Courtyard, and everything was even prepared, but Song Shiqiu did not stay overnight after dinner.

Before leaving, Song Shiqiu asked Lin Jin if she wanted to go out for a walk together.

Lin Jin glanced at the moonless and starless sky and said, "Sir, there's not even a moon today."

They are not close enough to take a walk together yet, thanks for the invitation.

Song Shiqiu groaned: "It has nothing to do with the moon."

"No, I'm too lazy to move. Lying on the couch and reading a storybook is my way of digesting food." Lin Jin waved her hand to refuse. She didn't have the habit of taking a walk after a meal. "Just understand me. I'm very tired from working the fields every day."

Song Shiqiu didn't say anything else, but just carried Shi Nian away before leaving.

Lin Jin: “…”

Just go, why take her cub away?

Something shattered in Lianyi's eyes, and the same was true for the other maids in Bikongyuan.

Madam, you actually drove the adults away.

Lin Jin ignored their thoughts and continued to study the improvement of saline-alkali land with the book. By the way, she glanced at the task progress bar. The progress bar had already reached 12%. She didn't know how it increased, and the system didn't answer her.

But if we continue like this, won’t the mission be completed quickly?

At this rate, about a year should be enough.

But why did she feel that this task progress bar seemed to have nothing to do with her farming?

Lin Jin was reading a book when she suddenly felt a little sleepy. She took a bath and changed clothes with the help of Lianyi. When she was drowsy, something suddenly flashed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Lianyi noticed that something was wrong with Lin Jin and asked softly, "Did I use too much force?"

"No, do you know about the tea-fighting competition that the lord talked about today? Will there be other fun activities in Tingyu Tower tomorrow?" Lin Jin asked a little worriedly.

"Madam, do you want to go and watch it again?" Lianyi's eyebrows lit up. The good relationship between the two masters always made them happy. "In addition to the tea competition, there are also chess and piano competitions. Madam, you must go and watch it."

Lin Jin pursed her lips. She didn't want to go, but she also wanted to go: "Are there any foreign envoys coming to Beijing this year?"

Could it really be that this was the year when Tingyu Tower held the Zheqing Club, where people competed in tea, music, and chess. Except for Xi Lilong, who defeated the envoys in the tea competition, he lost in the other two competitions. This made those envoys very powerful in Daxia for several months.
