Chapter 163
Day by day, it's getting colder and colder.
In November, the sky seemed to be shrouded by the vast snow. In Xiaohua's impression, it seemed that she had not seen the snow stop outside these days. But it was cold. She didn't go out of the hall all day. She didn't have time to pay attention to whether the snow had stopped.
During this period, King Jing went out of the house again. After King Jing left, Xiaohua learned from the chat between the two little eunuchs in the hall that King Jing went out of the house because there was too much snow and a snow disaster, which seemed to be a little serious. King Jing went to see the situation in person.
Therefore, Xiaohua comes to the conclusion that a king is a good vassal.
Xiaohua has never seen the snow disaster.
After she was sold when she was a child, she lingered in various families as a girl, and she could not understand the serious situation of the "disaster". I saw floods when I was a child, but my impression was too far away. In my memory, there were only cries everywhere except my parents' faces and my little brother.
When Xiaohua comes to the conclusion that King Jing is a good vassal, King Jing is riding outside in the snow. The guards of the Royal Palace advised him to take a carriage. But he thought the carriage was too slow, so he abandoned it and rode.
Jingzhou has always been a place of bitter cold. The so-called bitter cold is that the people are not rich because of poor agriculture. Cold is that Jingzhou is located in the north. It has always been cold. It is cold and snowy in winter.
Because this fief is very barren, the emperor is also very generous. The area of Jingzhou is the largest among several vassal kings.
The so-called vast land is nothing more than this.
In fact, King Jing doesn't have to come this time. There's no reason to rule a small county with a snow disaster. A prince has to come and have a look in person. But king Jing has always been serious. In his last life, he didn't manage his fief carefully. The fief has always been very poor. When I came back in my life, I spent a lot of time on my fief.
If farmers can't, he specially recruited an agricultural talent and promoted many suitable crops according to the geographical environment of Jingzhou, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are newly introduced from foreign countries with high yield. There has been almost no starvation under his rule in the past two years.
If business was not good, he asked his people to do business in other rich state capitals, and even sold good things such as fur ginseng to the outside, and then introduced things from elsewhere.
King Jing's thought is very simple. If he can't manage his own fief well, how can he say that he can change his destiny.
Over the past few years, the effect has been good. Not only does the government collect more tax money, but king Jing's private pocket is also very sufficient.
And he came here out of the meaning of deterrence, telling the officials not to try hard to rule the people under his nose. He doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to run back and forth and spend a few days. The result is that the people below don't dare to ignore it, and there will be no freezing and starvation. King Jing thinks it's quite cost-effective.
King Jing's ideas have never been different from others, but anyway, at least the people under his rule have a good life. In recent years, many people say that his highness King Jing is a good vassal.
When I went out, it didn't snow very much. When I was halfway there, the snow was getting bigger and bigger. The wind was also urgent. It was windy and snowy. I couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
A Guard officer in an instrument guard armor and a black scarlet cloak approached the king's mount.
"Your Highness, there is a village nearby. Let's go there first to avoid the snow. It's too heavy." as soon as the guard opened his mouth, he was scraped with snow foam.
