"We don't need to think about the harvest in our southern land this year. If you can survive this year, you will win."
Qin Yining nodded, "I can't ask for anything in this weather. If it doesn't work, it's better to give up the farm and go to the hills instead. I once heard people say that there are many terraced fields in the southwest, so let's learn."
Shopkeeper Zhong Da thought for a while and said, "That's fine. It's better to find a piece of land to plant than to starve to death while guarding a swamp."
"Yes. There are many people in Huichuan County who are in this situation. They are guarding the original rich land of their family and refuse to leave. Some, maybe they can earn some life for the whole family.”
"How many of them can have such a lively mind?" Shopkeeper Zhong Da shook his head.
He deals with the people below him all the year round. Most of the people just want to do the job at hand well, cultivate the land in their hands well, and pay the rent and be satisfied with the rest. But very few people know how to be flexible and use the resources at hand.
Qin Yining pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said, "I'll go back and discuss with the lord, and try to talk about this idea as much as possible. It's better to let more people go to the hillside to cultivate terraced fields than to guard a large swamp."
The shopkeeper Zhong Da smiled and said, "Your Highness will be delighted if you hear it. If you want to come here, Your Highness is worried about the country and the people, and also worried that the people will eventually starve."
"Yeah. It's better to do what you can do now if you expect to dispatch food and grass from a distance. God has been raining for so long, and this year's flooding is certain. I need a little food to satisfy my hunger."
Pang Xiao naturally supported Qin Yining's idea. Qin Yining's chief tenant naturally stopped her orders. But ordinary people are reluctant to leave their land, so they wait for the rain to pass with luck.
When the first batch of grain delivered by Sitong was about to run out, Qin Yining told Yinda shopkeeper to stop selling grain. It is increasingly difficult to transport food, and in the future they will have no cheap food to use, and a small part of them will still be kept for themselves.
As for the other grain shops in the city, they trembled again, and those who kept grain naturally took them out and doubled the price.
Right now, Pang Xiao can't take care of this much, and the search in the city finally came to an end after a few days of no results. Heaven is not beautiful, but treasures cannot be thrown away.
"My lord, the previous princess' idea was very good. Find a way to disclose the news of the treasure in the stone factory to Uncle Zhongyi, and let Uncle Zhongyi be the first rafter." Xie Yue said, "It's raining heavily and there is no way to start the construction. Uncle Zhongyi and We are all staring at the stone factory, if you do it, you are naturally passive, and you have to think about how to avoid Uncle Zhongyi's eyes, so let Uncle Zhongyi worry about it."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I also know that Sister Yi's method is good. It's just that we have to find a way to win Lu Heng's trust."
Xu Weizhi pondered: "Uncle Zhongyi is cunning and suspicious. If the people around us act, they will definitely reveal flaws. The person who will reveal the news should be carefully considered."
Pang Xiao nodded.
Xie Yue said bluntly at this time: "Actually, what the princess said at the beginning was a good strategy. If the members of the Qingtian League were alive, it would be best to use them to report the news. It's a pity that they have bad intentions for the princess, and the prince can't appease them."
Pang Xiao smiled wryly, "Why don't I know that they are the best candidates to lure Lu Heng? It's just that they want to hurt Sister Yi, who is always walking around, no matter how many people I arrange, I will never do it. Don’t worry, only a thousand days can be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? That’s why I was so eager to exterminate that group of people, just to eliminate future troubles forever. fish."
"The lord's plans are old and understandable. Right now, the only thing I can do is to ask the princess to be more careful when going out, but it's not a problem for the lord to arrange a few more guards. Those two will definitely not be able to get out of the city gate. A mouse, hiding in a dark corner and trembling, wouldn't dare to come out and seek death."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "I'll pay more attention. I'm just looking for Lu Heng's whistleblower, and I'll have to think about it again."
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also fell into contemplation.
Now is the best time to deal with treasures and other things. If you miss it, it will be a pity for Qin Yining's efforts to reach Huichuan County first. Moreover, now that they know the approximate location of the treasure, they can't do it, how can this situation not make people anxious? Regardless of whether they can get the treasure in the end, they always have to try their best.
There was a long silence in the room, and several people were racking their brains to find a way. Xu Weizhi suddenly said: "My lord, this old man has a way."
"Mr. Xu, please speak."
Pang Xiao and Xie Yue both looked at Xu Weizhi.
Xu Weizhi said, "It's better for the old man to pretend to have a falling out with the prince and go to Uncle Zhongyi to surrender, and the news of the treasure should be used as a bargaining chip for the old man to surrender. I think with Uncle Zhongyi's caution, he must guard me temporarily, and he will further verify. , my words have been confirmed, our business will be done, and when the lord finds a way to save me back."
Hearing the words, Pang Xiao shook his head slowly: "No. This method won't work. Lu Heng is suspicious, you are the most capable adviser by my side, even if you talk about hype, he will still doubt you. And he is very ruthless. Look at him these days. You will know when the mansion handles the servants. In his eyes, human life is like a mustard, and he would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let one go.
Xie Yue said, "My lord, this old man thinks Brother Xu's solution is feasible."
Xu Weizhi smiled and said, "My lord, Brother Xie is the best judge. She said it was feasible, so I knew that this method was possible."
Pang Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't think about taking risks. Don't say anything about the treasure, it doesn't matter if you lose your old life. Although I want the treasure, I haven't wanted to be crazy yet. Stop thinking about it."
"But what else is there now?"
Xie Yue thought for a moment and said, "My lord, it is feasible to do this now."
Pang Xiao still shook his head, "Whether it's Mr. Xie or Mr. Xu, I've been by my side for so many years, and the two have sacrificed a lot to help me. I can't let you risk your life. This method is not feasible. "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were moved and sighed, "Your Highness is too kind. Hey."
Xie Yue thought for a while and said, "My lord, the princess is resourceful, why don't you invite the princess to come and see the details. If the princess also thinks this method is good, then let us try it. If the princess also thinks it's not good, we will not mention it anymore. how?"
