Gu Junli's presence gave people a strong sense of oppression, but it also made the prefect understand that it would never be wrong to follow such a person!

Although he was in this remote place, not in Kyoto, he could see many things clearly.

Kyoto is also in a mess now, and that prince is really outrageous.

What is his automatic method of consolidating? He actually relies on marriage.

Even if it is a marriage, if you marry several people at once, it will be very problematic.

Wouldn't this make several families fight among themselves?

He wanted to win over more people, but he didn't understand that there was only one position for the future prince, and no one wanted the other family to win.

Therefore, these families are trying their best to strengthen themselves, so that the court, which was originally united, is now in chaos.

After he understood this, he took refuge in Gu Junli.

He believes that the third prince is more reliable than the prince. He does not use crooked methods, but uses his true ability.

If you look at the current state of Wangcheng and Ancheng, you will know how powerful they are.

With such a prince, wouldn't it be foolish for him to give up?

Whether it was for his own future or to save his life, he chose to seek refuge with Gu Junli.

Gu Junli also discussed with Su Ruchun what to do about this matter.

Although he has a plan in mind, he must respect Su Ruchun.

Su Ruchun didn't expect that someone would come to join them so soon. This was a good start.

When one person surrenders, more people will follow, so this step is crucial.

They arranged the refugees in Ancheng and had no intention of moving to the surrounding areas. After all, there would be no trouble if the army was here to suppress them.

But they are not prepared to transfer the difficulty to the other side. They can transfer their troops there.

One hundred thousand people, plus the 50,000 troops previously hoarded in the royal city, they now have an army of 150,000.

Now is not the time for war, so if we do nothing on weekdays, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower and material resources?

Of course, it is mainly a waste of food.

In order for everyone to have enough to eat, more land must be cultivated.

Let's put it this way, except that the roads cannot be moved and the mountains cannot be moved, the wasteland is not allowed to exist.

Open up wasteland! Let the army clear up wasteland. This way, you have something to do, and it can be regarded as exercise.

Of course, after the wasteland was opened, the common people were allowed to plant it, and the relatives of the soldiers were given priority. Again, after three years of planting, it would be theirs.

However, when things stabilize in the later period, we will definitely still need to levy reasonable taxes and collect grain.

Even so, everyone is still positive and enthusiastic and works very hard.

If they cultivate more land, their family members will be able to have enough food, and of course, they will also have enough food.

This is everyone’s motivation. Having a full meal is the simplest and best wish.

Su Ruchun felt that she had taken the right step, so she went on to arrange the next things.

The main thing is stability in Anseong, while other places are about to start doing business.

Didn't they have food? Now, sugar and salt are also produced in large quantities.

After all, there are some advantages to having a large population.

For example, now, they can send 10,000 people to dry salt.

The salt that Su Ruchun gave to Darong before was not the finest, but underground mineral salt that had been dried and roughly processed.

However, if you want to make money from salt and sugar now, you need better quality and greater production.

Therefore, Su Ruchun had to go there in person.

There is a city on their side that is close to the sea. If they want to get salt, they need a road, and this road cannot be cut off.

For this reason, Gu Junli thought of a way and directly found the prefect of Linhai City.

The prefect originally didn't want to agree. Although the other party was the third prince, he was from the prince's faction.

But he didn't expect that Gu Junli would be so bold as to attack him directly.

That's right, Gu Junli took action and locked the person up.

For a dignified prefect, he did not expect that Gu Junli would do this without hesitation, which was simply surprising.

"Third Prince, if you do this, the Emperor will be angry!"

Hearing this, Gu Junli couldn't help but laugh. Does he need the emperor's permission to do what he wants to do?

He just looked at each other and then mobilized 30,000 troops.

This is a big city, but looking at 30,000 people, I just feel trembling in my heart.

The people were crying, pessimistically thinking that this time it was over.

I just didn't expect that these 30,000 troops were only besieging the city, not attacking it. They even started farming outside the city.

Yes, this move made the people feel that this army was very different.

And the imprisoned magistrate also understood that if he wanted his whole family to be safe and the people in the city to be unharmed, he had no choice but to admit it.

Although he is the prime minister's man, and although he wants to fight for the prince, he has no choice. The third prince is too powerful.

He also has a family, and the people also need him, so he can only give in.

But he didn't expect that even after he surrendered, Gu Junli didn't completely believe him.

Instead, he asked him to write a letter, saying that he would belong to Gu Junli from now on and would be loyal to him.

Even after he wrote the letter and signed his name, Gu Junli still took away some of his relatives.

Instead of taking away his children, he took away his parents.

This made him miserable and he did not dare to have any crooked ideas. He could only watch 10,000 soldiers stationed there.

That's right, Gu Junli stationed 10,000 people here.

The reason for having soldiers here is not for anything else but to ensure Su Ruchun's safety.

That is his wife, no one is as important as Su Ruchun.

But Su Ruchun didn't care about this, she knew that Gu Junli would definitely arrange it.

All her energy was focused on the sea salt. Not only that, she also discovered that the people here would go out to sea to fish.

This city is not small, but it is very poor. Why? Just because there is not enough land suitable for farming in the surrounding area, everyone can only go to sea to fish.

Over the years, they have made a living by selling fish, but fish cannot be transported over long distances.

Therefore, everyone can only make some money with surrounding cities.

But after Su Ruchun arrived, she thought of some ways.

She first taught people how to store kelp and seaweed.

They used to eat it fresh, but now they know it can also be dried and preserved.

However, if they don’t eat kelp or seaweed, will people outside eat it?

But Su Ruchun just made a few simple dishes, and everyone understood that kelp and seaweed can be so delicious.

Why did they think it didn’t taste good before?

Not only that, she also passed on to them the method of making shrimp skin.

The production of shrimp skin is also very important. Although the shrimp skin is small, it can be preserved and contains salt. If you sell it, you will get money.

These are just like salt, enriching everyone's dining table and making people live a better life.

Such changes gave Su Ruchun a very important position in everyone's hearts in a very short period of time.

They had only thought that the prefect was a good official before, but now they felt that the third prince's concubine was their savior.

Not to mention, she also had to dry the salt.

I have never heard of this. How do you dry salt?
