Lingchuan goes from east to sea day and night, and Bai Jingyuan sits on the thick grass mat by the river, holding his chin to watch the people working in the wilderness.

The weather has not been completely warm yet, and today is cloudy. Fortunately, there is no wind, otherwise he would not be able to sit here.

In his hands, there were fishing rods made of long bamboo poles, and beside him were children with wide eyes and kneeling. These children of not noble origins were not used to or like the etiquette of noble people. But in order to please the elders, they still tried their best to kneel down. Even if their legs were numb, no one dared to cry.

Bai Jingyuan didn't like these, but compared to his preferences, they were obviously more afraid of punishment from their elders and cared more about the face of the family, so he didn't have much trouble interfering with it.

There is a reason why he will stay here for a long time.

A child fell into the river two days ago. If he hadn't happened to come back from a patrol outside the city, he would have drowned.

Since then, Bai Jingyuan has specially sent someone to watch the children for families who have no time to take care of their children due to the busy farming season and are very close to the river.

The children are innocent and cute, most of them are innocent and simple, and they respect him very much. Bai Jingyuan likes the feeling of being simply loved by others and will come to play with them when they have time.

Thinking of the future, he could also say with confidence that these children grew up under his nose, and that feeling was great!

But today he was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk much.

"Master, what are you worried about?"

A little kid who had not yet had a chance to look at him mischievously stretched his neck. When he saw him looking over, he was so nervous that he wanted to bite his fingers.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Master, your fish ran away again!"

The boy had Aweng, who was good at fishing at the house. He often sat in Aweng's arms and accompanied him to fish. When he saw the chicken feathers tied to the fishing line, he knew what was going on.

Bai Jingyuan lifted the fishing rod and saw that the bait hanging on it was really gone. He threw the hook to the shore, and waited for it. He grabbed it in his hand, and then carefully pinched the new bait and let him continue to swing the rod.

"The king must know that the fish's belly is empty, so I'll feed them!"

There was a little girl with a braid that sweared to her belly, as if this was the truth.

Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but feel happy, so he deliberately said in a distressed tone: "Master, I am indeed very worried!"

"Then what are you worried about?"

Sure enough, the simple children are very curious. As soon as the bait is thrown out, they bite the hook immediately!

The children were always staying beside to watch him fishing. They were annoyed by the sight, and were afraid of getting beaten home, so they didn't dare to sneak away. How could they not be excited when they heard the king's words?

There was a child who only knew how to ask stupidly, but the intelligent ghost knew how to ask him back: "Why are you worried about what to eat for dinner?"

Someone said it, and some people would say it. After hearing that, someone immediately became unhappy: "The king has the best kitchen in the world. How could he worry about this? He must be worried about which piece of clothing to wear tomorrow!"

As usual, some people disagree with this: "My mother said that the silk in our Chu State is the best, so why do the king need to worry about this kind of thing? The king must have had homework but has not finished it! Every time the gentleman assigns homework, I will do this, and I have no intention of doing anything!"

This child is older and more sensible. He deliberately said this and deliberately pulled the fresh tinted linen brown on his body to prove that he is a "cultural person" who has entered school.

Bai Jingyuan's worries dissipated a lot again, but he deliberately showed a look of worrying about the country and the people, and looked into the distance with his eyebrows:

"My king, what I am most worried about is how to make everyone full! How would it be great if there were no hungry people in the world!"

He suddenly wanted to hear what these children viewed this issue.

Most of the children are three or five years old, and the oldest is only seven years old. How unique can they have?

Just as I was thinking this, a little loli licked her mouth and answered: "I know I know! If there are fewer people in my family, I can eat enough! Last year, my Awen died, and my mother said, save Awen's food and I can eat enough!"

This answer feels like a cult. Bai Jingyuan shook his head and retorted: "With fewer people, there will be fewer people farming! If there are fewer people farming, there will be fewer food, so I will still be hungry! There are more people and more people, the more people farming, and there will be more food!"

He didn't know how to explain the relationship between population and food production to the children. Anyway, he couldn't make the children feel that the fewer people, the more they could eat.

If a half-aged boy who is obsessed with the horns and is always unable to eat enough to listen to this, he might have to kill his family. This kind of thing must be guarded against in this era.

As the king, he promotes truth, goodness and beauty!

Anyway, Chu State has a vast land and is far from reaching the effect of a population explosion. Encouraging childbirth is politically correct, and he is right to say that.

"Master King! Can you just need to have more food in the field?"

Bai Jingyuan nodded with relief. It seemed that besides silly, there were also some intelligent people~

As a result, the child immediately clapped his hands excitedly: "No wonder my father always said that it would be great if he could catch a slave and come back! With slaves, he could go to a faraway place to reclaim new land! With more soil, we could eat full every day!"

What a hell is this? Civilians dream of becoming slave owners, even if there is only one slave?

Bai Jingyuan hurriedly stopped this guy who was as strong as a calf at a young age: "A Fei! If there is a way out, who would be willing to become a slave? Your thoughts are not enough. Slaves are not so easy to catch!"

But Ah Fei immediately slapped his neck and patted his chest, and swore loudly: "When I grow up, I will be a general for the king! After winning the battle, I can bring back a lot of slaves! Foreign slaves don't have to worry about them being unhappy!"

Bai Jingyuan was covered in black lines and thought to himself, as long as I don’t die, you will never be able to let go!

Return to General? You can take a shower and go to bed!

After asking a bunch of strange answers, Bai Jingyuan was speechless and didn't want to continue chatting at the moment. He saw that other children were looking forward to it. It was not good not to let someone say it out, so he had to continue listening patiently.

Unexpectedly, I heard something valuable when I heard this.

"King! I think the most important thing is to have more people working! I heard from merchants from the west of the city that there were many refugees in Jingshan coming to Taoxi. If they could come to our Chu State to farm, would our food be more?"

What a good young man! He actually thought of the trick of expanding human resources through refugees!

Bai Jingyuan immediately praised him: "A Dou likes to use his brain, and he makes sense."

Adou blushed and stopped talking. The others were inspired and made suggestions.

Some people say that their father was angry yesterday because his mother broke the farm tools at home, which would slow down the spring farming. If there were more useful farm tools, would it get up soon?

Some people say that crop yields increased last year because I applied fertilizer to the king, and this year I did the same.

Some people even proposed the preferred seeds! It is said that only good seeds can grow stronger crops.

I have to say that it is easy to achieve results when thinking collisions.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Jingyuan had several solutions.
Chapter completed!
