After dinner, Murong Li came back tiredly after a long time, his head still buzzing because he was disturbed by the minister who wanted money.

Su Yue supported him and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

"It's not because of the money problem. Just after we solved one problem, another one came. Oh, it's such a headache. Only now do I understand why my father dumped this mess on me so quickly."

Murong Li in turn helped Su Yue sit down. He pinched his brows tiredly, sat down on the stool, poured a glass of water from the cup, and drank it down.

Xifeng Kingdom is really riddled with holes, and there is no place that does not need to be repaired. Although the area south of the Yangtze River is a little richer, there are floods there all the year round. Even if the people can fill their bellies, they don’t have much money in their hands.

of.

Wherever he opened his bank, he didn't have any large deposits. If it weren't for gathering information, he would have wanted to close Sihai Bank.

"It's a money issue again. I have a good idea here. I'll tell you what you think."

Murong Li raised his head, looked at Su Yue and nodded: "Then Yue'er has to say it."

Su Yue nodded and told Murong Li her method.

After hearing this, Murong Li's eyes lit up and his fatigue disappeared immediately. He patted his thigh and said, "Yue'er, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of that? No matter where the people are now, they don't have enough to eat. They need to use grain."

Using it to offset wages is more satisfying than giving wages directly to the people."

Murong Li was so happy that he hugged Su Yue and kissed her fiercely.

"Stop it!"

Su Yue felt uncomfortable being kissed by him. She was still pregnant and she would be in trouble if Murong Li accidentally misfired.

When Murong Li heard her shout, he immediately stopped, suppressed the fire that had just started in his body, and touched Su Yue's belly, thinking that for these three little bastards, he had deprived his father of all his benefits.

, when they come out, you have to slap their butts hard.

"Then let's go into the space and take a look. I have to plan it carefully."

After Su Yue hummed softly, she led Murong Li into the space.

The next day, Murong Li told the ministers who wanted money about his idea. The ministers were overjoyed after hearing this. Like Murong Li, they slapped their thighs and said, OK, this is a good idea, but they all looked at Murong Li, "

Your Majesty, where does that food come from?”

Murong Li waved his hands towards them: "Don't worry, the money from the treasury will not be used. The queen has many villages and has stored a lot of grain, so just use that grain."

When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance heard that there was no need to use the money from the treasury, he was eager to do so. He also heard that Murong Li was going to open a dried meat workshop, so he immediately took over the job.

Opening a workshop outside was the result of discussions between Murong Li and Su Yue. After all, making dried meat in Su Yue's space was not a long-term solution. Even if they were no longer in Xifeng Country by then, the dried meat workshop could still be opened.

Murong Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was of course happy to take over the task of opening the workshop, and the two of them quickly implemented the matter of opening the workshop.

As soon as the matter was completed, Murong Li felt refreshed.

So he went down to court early. He remembered that today seemed to be the day when Su Yan got married, and wanted to see if Yue'er wanted to go back.

Su Yue wanted to go back and have a look, but she was really not suitable to go out and walk in her current state. The incident of Princess Zhaoyang's assassination last time cast a shadow on her heart.

There was a wedding banquet held at the Duke's Mansion today, and it was crowded with people and things. She was afraid of something happening, so it was safer to stay in the palace.

However, Su Yong still sent Hongye to go there. Hongye and Hongyu were the aunts in charge around her, and their status was not ordinary. She went to represent her, just like the Duke's mansion.

That night, Su Yue moved all the food in the space and gave it to Murong Li. Then all the food was handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for arrangement.

Seeing the mountains of grain, the Minister of Household Affairs cried with joy.

He divided the grain into ten parts, four parts were sent to the border, and one part was given to the Wei army. Only when their stomachs were full could the soldiers have the strength to guard the border and the Xifeng Kingdom.

Two copies were left in the treasury, and the other three were immediately sent to various places and distributed as wages.

The working people are holding the white grains in their hands, and they are energetic in their work.

They, the common people who have been growing food for their whole lives, have never eaten such fine grain. Now the government is paying them as wages. How can they not work hard?

When dried meat was distributed, the people worked harder.

When the food and dried meat became popular among the people, officials from various places fed back the information to the court. The court was in an uproar, and everyone praised Murong Li as the smartest, wisest and most courageous emperor they had ever seen.

, almost praised Murong Li to the sky.

Murong Li just laughed. Anyway, when he praised Yue'er, he praised them both. They were husband and wife. He didn't refute and accepted it calmly.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yue was seven months pregnant. Her belly was as big as a basin and it was difficult to walk.

It’s almost August now, the weather is getting cooler, and it’s almost time to enter the autumn harvest season.

In the first half of the year, the harvests were good where sweet potatoes were planted. In the second half of the year, people all over the Xifeng Kingdom planted sweet potatoes, waiting for the autumn harvest.

This year, the people of Xifeng Kingdom will finally stop going hungry.

It's just that the South-to-North Water Diversion project is not finished yet, and it will take almost two years to complete it.

This also used Murong Li's secret guards. When they encountered a place that needed to be opened, they would sneak in at night and directly use their internal strength to open the mountain, which saved a lot of time.

Otherwise, it would take ten or even twenty or thirty years to dig it out with ordinary people's hands.

The defense projects on the four sides of the border were almost completed at the end of the year and are now in full swing.

News came back from Qingniuguan that since the soldiers there have become self-sufficient in farming, more and more people have settled there.

The number of soldiers there has increased from 100,000 to 200,000 now. With the increase of soldiers, not only the land in front of Qingniu Gate has been reclaimed, but also a lot of land near the Qingniu Mountains has been reclaimed.

Now the Qingniu Mountains belong to the Xifeng Kingdom, and many people have settled at the foot of the mountains.

This Murong Li fully supported it. Not only did he support it, he also encouraged people who were struggling to survive in other places to move there.

Dongfeng Kingdom will no longer exist in the future, so whether people go there to survive will have no impact on Xifeng Kingdom at all.

It will not affect the future war between the two countries. Murong Li will not place the battlefield at Qingniu Pass.

In addition, under the leadership of Mr. Fang in Northwest County, your people have all solved their food and clothing problems.
