Wu Meiniang's words greatly inspired the businessmen, and Han Yi's words made the businessmen start to become crazy.

The prospects for Henan, which is deeply in the drought crisis, are bright and very bright.

Han Yi is not a nonsense. Henan does have its foundation, and it basically has all the driving force for market development.

Perhaps Henan's economic status was far inferior to that of Beijing and Guangzhou in later generations, but the situations of the two were completely different. In later generations, it was developed because of reform and opening up. Reform and opening up was to introduce foreign capital to develop itself. The coastal areas were naturally more developed. Today's Tang Dynasty did not need to introduce any foreign capital at all. Its internal motivation was the strongest, and the power of reform erupted from the inside out. The most potential and huge market in the world, that is, the Central Plains, is the most important and the trade volume was the largest. After all, the Tang Dynasty was very rich and could play with it for a long time, so Henan naturally became the center.

Regardless of whether the drought will further expand, as long as it is not permanent, Henan has extremely strong investment value.

After talking to the businessman, Han Yi returned to the back hall of the government office.

"The Queen said that just now is really pretty!"

Han Yi said with a smile.

Wu Meiniang said lightly: "If you speak beautifully, you might as well behave beautifully."

"It is impossible to say that." Han Yi said: "If you don't speak beautifully, you can't talk about it. I believe that after this time, the queen left a deep impression on the businessman."

Wu Meiniang smiled slightly and said, "Your plan has taken another step forward."

"Don't say that." Han Yi smiled and said, "It should be said that it is our plan."

Wu Meiniang said, "It depends on you next."

"No."

Han Yi shook his head and said, "The queen needs to give a speech next."

Wu Meiniang looked at Han Yi in confusion.

Han Yi said: "Henan has always had a strong market value. The reason why it has not developed has been that the local gentry class should be too strong. Now it is the best opportunity, because the famine makes the gentry's arrangement seem worthless. To develop Henan, we must also weaken the gentry's influence on the local area, which is an excellent opportunity."

Wu Meiniang pondered slightly and said, "What should I do?"

Han Yi said: "We have talked before that it is impossible for merchants to help so many people, and the court cannot allocate so much food, because it is still very far away from the next autumn harvest. What we planned before was to let some people go to Lingnan and even overseas islands, but this requires publicity because the people in the Central Plains are still used to relocating.

This is actually a secret battle between us and the gentry class. Of course, the gentry class will not want the people to move, because once the people move, the influence of the gentry class will be weakened and the influence of the merchants will be enhanced. But no matter what we say, the gentry class cannot refute it because they cannot provide so much food. In terms of survival, any secular etiquette will appear pale and powerless. Therefore, the queen still needs to make an inspiring speech in front of the people to promote his own ideas and save the local people."

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table, saying, "This is my manuscript for the Queen."

Wu Meiniang took it over and looked at it, and immediately frowned and said, "What did you write this? Even the sentences are not smooth."

Damn! Do you know that what you write now is so profound classical Chinese to me, of course it is difficult to write! Han Yi immediately felt embarrassed and said, "I don't want to, but I can't find someone to write about this."

Wu Meiniang said, "Why can't you write better?"

"Because I was not yet graduated, my father-in-law sent me to Chang'an."

“……!”

Wu Meiniang despised Han Yi for a glance.

Han Yi said: "I'm not asking the queen to follow the above. There are only a few points on it, just grab this point."

Wu Meiniang looked at it carefully, her eyes suddenly flashed a few times, and she said, "The content is well written."

Han Yi said: "The sentences were not smooth at the beginning, but if the content was not up to standard, then I would take it out, wouldn't it be a shame for myself?"

Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "I know what to say."

Han Yi sighed: "It's really a lot easier to be smart with a smart person like the Queen."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "With your writing style, you can only cooperate with smart people. You are a little stupid, but you can't understand it."

"Ha ha!"

......

That morning, Wu Meiniang came outside to inspect, accompanied by Han Yi, Zheng Shanxing, Lu Shigua, and a group of merchants.

This has become Wu Meiniang’s exclusive political propaganda. Since ancient times, no queen has often gone out, talked to the people, and guided her work on the spot.

The people here have become accustomed to it and suddenly found that the queen appeared beside the field. It can be said that no queen has such a deep impression in the hearts of the people. Although Empress Changsun is called a virtuous queen, it is all in the impression of scholars. The people have never seen Empress Changsun before, and they don’t know what she has done. They all hear it. Of course, the impression of Wu Meiniang is not very deep. Their impression of Wu Meiniang comes from direct communication, with picturesque memories, and naturally the impression is deeper.

"Although the imperial court will develop the market in Henan, agriculture and serenity are always the basic location of Henan, and this cannot be changed. Therefore, while developing the market, we must protect the farming and serenity industry here, protect the farmers here, and we must manage the local rivers and protect the forests. One of the reasons for this locust plague is that it is due to the logging process."

Wu Meiniang walked by the field, looking at the endless dry fields, and her words were full of hope, as if there were endless rice fields beside her.

Everyone's hearts were full of hope.

Hopefully, it is very important in the disaster area.

Lu Shigua suddenly said: "The Queen said it was very important that the court should introduce a series of policies to protect the local environment. Only when the environment is protected can business prosper. The losses caused by a disaster are countless. I believe that it is worth spending much money to prevent natural disasters."

"Um."

Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile and said, "These court has to work hard to plan and not harm agriculture while developing commerce."

In fact, the protection of forests has been available since the time of Guanzhong, Qi State, and it is not proposed now. The ancients have realized that being able to pass through logging will cause floods and some ecological crises.

After a while, they arrived at the largest agricultural area in Weizhou. Many people sighed in the dry farmland. It was a good harvest now, but they could not harvest it. They could only say that they were going to pick up the remaining grains of locusts.

"It's the queen."

I don't know who shouted excitedly.

The people around immediately gathered around, which made the guards who protected Wu Meiniang feel the pressure doubled. When the queen traveled, the pressure on the guards would certainly increase sharply!

Wu Meiniang was not afraid at all on her face. She walked forward and asked kindly: "How are your gains?"

When the people heard this, they couldn't help but feel depressed.

"To be honest, our harvest this year is less than 10%.

An old man started crying as soon as he opened his mouth. The farmer had a true feeling for food. Even if he had enough food in the next year, he would feel very sad when he remembered that the food was eaten by locusts, not to mention that they were all over the place.

Wu Meiniang sighed softly and said, "Although the court has invited many merchants to invest here, the food they brought cannot satisfy all the people in the disaster area."

One person panicked: "How should we live the next year!"

"Yes! It's still a year before the next autumn harvest. Do we have to starve to death?"

People's hearts immediately became panicked, and they should know that all their previous expectations were here for the merchants.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, everyone. I said I will not easily let the people of the Tang Dynasty lose their lives in front of me. I will do everything possible to help you overcome the difficulties."

Everyone looked at Wu Meiniang looking forward to it.

Wu Meiniang said: "I wonder if you have heard that the imperial court recently promulgated the "Everyone's Law"?"

Many people looked confused, which shows how closed their news is.

Wu Meiniang said again: "The so-called "Everyonetic Law" is to promote the civilized culture of our Central Plains to those places that are transformed into other places and educate the barbarians. I have always been thinking about what place can best represent the civilized culture of our Central Plains. After thinking about it, only Henan. Henan is the origin of our Central Plains culture. The people living here, that is, you, are the civilized culture of our Central Plains. I also hope that the people of Henan can shoulder the heavy responsibility in it."

This is really too profound for the farmers.

A young man asked, “What does this have to do with food?”

Wu Meiniang asked without answering, "If there was no drought, would you be satisfied with your life?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm pretty...satisfied!"

Wu Meiniang asked again: "How many sons do you have?"

The young man said, "Two."

Wu Meiniang said: "How much do you think your son's future land will be more than you have now?"

The young man shook his head and sighed: "It seems that there is no extra land in Weizhou to be distributed to us."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "That's the reason. The land will not increase, but the population has been increasing. The farmland will definitely not be enough in the future. The prosperity of a country does not depend on me, officials, or merchants, but on how the farmers live in this country. If the farmers do not live well, the country will be destroyed, because agriculture is the foundation of the country.

I have always advocated that farmers must live a richer life, and this concept has not changed. However, it is useless for me to work hard for this kind of thing. A rich life depends on my own struggle. I don’t want you to live a contented life. You really should go to Yangzhou and Muzhou to see it, and you will know that you are actually living a very poor life.

The spirit of the people in the Central Plains is actually struggle. Many years ago, there were wasteland here, which was developed by our ancestors with their sweat. We should continue to struggle and continue to explore the land like our ancestors. We should not just be content with the status quo. You should strive for a better and richer life."

Speaking of this, she pointed her hand beside her and said, "I believe you are no stranger to Shangshuling. He used to be a farmhouse in Yangzhou. As far as I know, his family only has a few acres of land, which is much poorer than you. But now? He is already the Shangshuling and has a wealth of wealth. This is because he is not satisfied with the status quo and keeps working and striving. Everything he has gained today is obtained through struggle. Since he can, I believe you can also do it like him through struggle."
