Huang Song looked at Jiang Pengji in confusion, as if he could not understand what was in her head.
He teased, "If you become a landlord, you'll definitely be the most profitable landlord."
This was definitely a big landlord who had been held back by his ambition to dominate the world.
Even though Huang Song felt that Jiang Pengji's plan was somewhat naive and reasonable, her way of thinking was worth advocating. If everything went as smoothly as she said, how many ordinary people would benefit in the future and how many innocent people would be saved from famine and food shortage?
Jiang Pengji squinted her eyes and said unhappily, "You want me to be a landlord? You make it sound like I'm not a big landlord now? I don't live as well as a great landowner. They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings who don't even know how to farm. What's the use of keeping them? "
When the feudal vassals achieved something, which one of them didn't get drunk and sleep on the knees of beauties, and hold the power of the world when they woke up?
Wasn't it all for the sake of enjoying the beauty and power at the peak of one's life?
What about her?
Hehe, Jiang Pengji felt that her life was one of toil. She had status and power, but no happiness.
Jiang Pengji's anger soared. Huang Song was speechless.
Farming … this was really too much. After all, most scholars did not even touch this thing.
Feng Jue frowned slightly and said, "Duke of Lanting's words are too biased and harsh. As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialization. The people under Duke of Lanting's banner each have their own specialties. Farming is not their forte, so it's understandable that they can't do it. You should look for a farmer."
Jiang Pengji shook her head and said, "Feng Sanlang is wrong. Most of the people I sent to manage the farming have relevant experience and knowledge. It wasn't that they didn't have enough knowledge, but that they stuck to conventions and didn't know how to be flexible. Even I know how to consult farming books to find information related to farming and visit experienced farmers to practice the contents of farming books. Why don't they know how to do this? "
To put it simply, those who managed the mulberry fields did not put their heart and soul into it. Instead, they focused on the management of the farmers and the harvest. Jiang Pengji did not lack people who could manage with their mouths open. She needed people who were truly focused on the fields.
Jiang Pengji said coldly, "Since they don't have the ability to do so, they shouldn't have occupied the seat and not spilled the beans."
Feng Jue did not continue to refute. After all, it was not suitable for him to get involved in this matter with his current status.
Huang Song stepped forward to smooth things over, lest the two of them get angry.
Jiang Pengji drank two cups of tea from them and only left after she had calmed down a little.
After Jiang Pengji left, Feng Jue said, "This Duke of Lanting is interesting. He doesn't look like someone from a noble family at all."
Huang Song raised his eyebrows. "Is that a compliment, Huaijie?"
Feng Jue said, "I don't think it's a compliment. I can only say that with a person like the Duke of Lanting, the common people will have a much better life."
Huang Song said again, "I remember … Huaijie seems to have a classmate from a farmer's family?"
Feng Jue asked him, "There's such a classmate, but … Bogao hopes that Jue can introduce him to you?"
Huang Song said, "It's not bad if we can form a good relationship with him."
Feng Jue said, "Now that I think about it, I haven't contacted him for many years. I don't even know where he is now."
The farmer's family had Shennong as their ancestor. They advocated ploughing mulberry and farming. Agricultural production and farmers' thoughts were the mainstream school of thought.
However, the farmer's family did not develop well. It was even several times more miserable than the Mohists. At least the Mohists were able to struggle on while at death's door and developed a few loyal followers. However, there was no news about the farmer's family in recent years. It could be said that they were in dire straits. It was unknown if they could find a successor to the farmer's family.
Jiang Pengji leisurely returned to the manor. On the way, she even bought a snack from the street.
At that moment, the five million idle spectators were giving her advice. They recommended various farm manure and farming techniques to her.
Jiang Pengji watched them seriously and memorized them with her heart. She ate her snacks as she wandered home.
Ding dong. A private message sounded. Jiang Pengji glanced at it. It turned out to be a message from the old chief.
You Abba: Why do you have to make it so troublesome?
"There's an old saying that it's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish." She said, "I know I can go through the back door and beg the old chief to help me purchase farm manure, but it's not a long-term solution. Using farm manure that's hundreds of years ahead of the current era will yield high benefits in the short term, but in the long term, it will kill the possibility of agricultural development in this era. Moreover, the old chief can't always purchase for me, can he? "
You Abba: Pulling a seedling to help it grow will indeed kill the infinite potential. You're very diligent.
Jiang Pengji said, "I love what I do. After all, I'm their lord. I have to be responsible for the people under my rule."
After all, what she needed was not short-term effects, but long-term development.
She had stayed in this world for ten years and put in a lot of effort. Naturally, she hoped that everything could develop better.
Liu Xi was just an ordinary person. No matter how long his life was, there was a limit. She hoped that everything could develop in the best direction after she was gone.
You Abba: You've indeed grown a lot with this awareness.
When Jiang Pengji first took over the Seventh Corps, she received many complaints from her old subordinates.
"I used to be young and impetuous." Jiang Pengji coughed awkwardly. "Old chief, don't expose me at this time."
After Jiang Pengji "begged for mercy," the old chief "showed mercy" and did not investigate further.
"Someone, call Xiaoyu over. Tell him that I have something to discuss."
Jiang Pengji wanted to build a public toilet or a livestock farm, which required financial allocation. Of course, she had to find the chief butler to check the account books.
Xu Ke hurried over and was about to bow when Jiang Pengji stopped him. "Xiaoyu, you don't have to be so polite. It's more important to talk about business. I want to build public toilets and livestock farms everywhere to raise livestock such as cows, sheep, and pigs. Send someone to come up with a plan and see how much capital it will cost. "
Jiang Pengji went straight to the point, but Xu Ke was dumbfounded.
Why did he have to build a livestock farm and … a public toilet out of nowhere?
Jiang Pengji explained her purpose in detail. Xu Ke's blank expression gradually turned serious.
"My lord, it's hard to say how much it will cost …"
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. "Why?"
Xu Ke said, "What's the size and shape of the public toilets? What's the scale of the livestock farm? How many livestock will be raised and how much manpower will be needed? "
No matter how capable he was, he needed to know this to determine how much it would cost.
Jiang Pengji scratched her head. "This … I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it tonight. I'll tell you tomorrow."
She was used to being a hands-off boss. She only talked and did not do anything, but now it didn't work.
Xu Ke said, "There's still a long way to go. There's no hurry."
Jiang Pengji rested her chin on her hand and said, "There's no hurry. If we don't solve this matter as soon as possible, it'll make me feel uncomfortable."
If she could not settle everything before the spring ploughing next year, the next year's harvest would be affected. How could she not worry?
