The Princess of Northern Land

After the explanation was reasonable, Chu Suifeng stared at her eyes for a long time, but found nothing unusual, and finally calmed down.

"Do you still have brothers and sisters?" Si Jinhan asked in surprise.

"Yes, my senior brother has great martial arts skills and is good at deploying troops. I learned almost everything from him. Two senior sisters, one is good at medicine and the other is good at fighting." Lin Ziyin replied calmly, and then ignored Si again. Jin Han said, "Although she is a commoner's daughter, in my mind, the prince is still a friend. As a friend, I would like to ask the prince, do you want to stop moving forward, or do you want to make a difference?"

"Are you encouraging the prince to rebel?" Si Jinhan's eyes turned cold.

"Third Young Master, I'm overthinking it. I just want the prince to live a freer life and have more confidence to save his life." Lin Ziyin replied.

"Say." Chu Suifeng's words were always crisp and clear.

"The Northland is the prince's fiefdom. It is vast and sparsely populated, which is a disadvantage. In fact, it can also be seen as an advantage. It is the prince's unique advantage." Lin Ziyin said.

Si Jinhan and Chu Suifeng looked at each other, and then immediately asked the guards around them to guard the door.

"Prisoners are sent over from the North every year. These prisoners are sent to the border to fight. In fact, they are undoubtedly sent to die. The prince might as well select some of these people who are not heinous criminals and let them freely open up wasteland. Of course, each person can open up wasteland. The wasteland is not allowed to exceed a certain amount. The reclaimed wasteland belongs to them personally. As long as they keep their integrity, work hard, do not collect taxes for three years, and there are no criminals in the family for five generations, they can become good citizens after five generations." Lin Ziyin answered.

The Northland here is not the Great Northern Wilderness of the Chinese Empire. One hundred thousand workers and peasants went to the countryside to open up wasteland, and the only people who could be used were prisoners who were assigned to it.

Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan had shocked looks on their faces.

"Lin Ziyin, do you know what you are talking about?" Si Jinhan asked coldly.

"Injured soldiers can be encouraged to stay, and those with families can also be brought over. The government will allow their children to attend school for free. Of course, if they commit crimes in the future, this benefit will be eliminated. For this group of people, the amount of reclaimed wasteland It can be appropriately more, but not too much. After three years of tax exemption, only half of the tax will be paid in the fourth and fifth years." Now that Lin Ziyin has said it, he is not afraid of their suspicion, "Only when the people are rich can the country be strong... …”

"Girl, the old man wants you to go back to the main house quickly. Something happened." Just as he was talking, Duo'er's cry suddenly came from outside.

"Sorry, I had to take a step beforehand." Lin Ziyin quickly led his people out.

Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan stood in the workshop and looked at each other.

"My lord, do you believe what she said?" Si Jinhan was a little excited. "The prince has suffered so much from being a coward over the years. If he had money in his hands, he would definitely be able to compete for it."

When it came to the next sentence, his voice became lower and lower.

Chu Suifeng glanced at him indifferently, "There are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."

"It depends on how the spring starts." Si Jinhan was really excited. Over the years, there has been pressure from the imperial court, pressure from various princes, and harassment from the Tatars. How difficult it was for Prince Ling to live. Only those who follow the prince know.

"Go to the main house to see what happened." Chu Suifeng changed the subject.

"Okay." He didn't mention Si Jinhan either.

Lin Ziyin returned to the main room and found Lin Changshu, Lin Zige and others there, as well as a few strangers in the room.

"Uncle, aunt?" Lin Ziyin recognized the relative whom he had met only once.
