Chapter 1100: A loud drum needs no hammer

Yun Zheng was in a good mood after getting an unexpected harvest of tobacco.

At this moment, he couldn't explain clearly to Qu Zhi and Miao Yin whether this tobacco was good or bad.

Anyway, don’t touch it if you can!

These people don’t even know what tobacco is, let alone being addicted to it!

If you encourage them to smoke and let them become addicted, that would be immoral!

Afterwards, Yun Zheng and Qu Zhi went to see several other crops.

Yun Zheng recognized two kinds of vegetables, and one of them was beans, but Yun Zheng didn't know what kind of beans they were.

Anyway... as long as it's edible!

After visiting the official fields, Yun Zheng had a general understanding of these crops.

At present, among these crops, except tobacco, the others are not particularly useful.

At most, it can be sold as a novelty before it is fully promoted.

Once it is fully promoted, it can basically only enrich the menu of Daqian people!

The most useful crops are potatoes, pumpkins and tobacco.

As for corn, let’s plant it first!

With the selection of seeds from generation to generation, the yield should be improved in the future.

Next year, we will focus on cultivating these crops.

"Your Highness, I heard that Yu Country attacked Yuzhou?"

After looking at the official fields, Qu Zhi suddenly asked.

"Did you hear that too?"

Yun Zheng looked at Qu Zhi from the side.

Speaking of this, Yun Zheng's good mood began to fade.

"Ah."

Qu Zhi nodded gently, "This matter has spread, and many people know about it."

The Yu Kingdom has always been mainly engaged in harassment and looting.

Compared with other enemies of Daqian, the presence of Yu Kingdom is not very strong.

However, there are still many grievances between Yu State and Daqian.

Especially the people along the coast, they deeply hated the bandits of Yu State whose purpose was to burn, kill and loot.

In addition, the Yu Kingdom had not harassed the coastal areas of Daqian for more than 20 years. After the Yu Kingdom's premeditated attack on Yuzhou, the relevant news quickly spread throughout Daqian.

"From what you said, it seems like you have some ideas?"

Yun Zheng asked Qu Zhi with a smile.

"What ideas can I have?"

Qu Zhi laughed dryly, "I just feel a little bit cowardly..."

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Being cowardly is also the court's business. How can we care about Yuzhou District?"

It's a bit cowardly, indeed.

If you get beaten up and want to fight back but the person runs away, how can you not feel like a coward?

Qu Zhi laughed dryly again and said tentatively: "I just want to ask, Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"

Ok?

Yun Zheng's heart trembled, and he seemed to understand something.

After a brief pause, Yun Zheng looked at Qu Zhi with a serious expression: "Do you want to ask, or do the soldiers in the camp want you to help ask?"

"This……"

Qu Zhi felt guilty, so he answered, "I and the soldiers in the camp all want to ask."

Yun Zheng stared at Qu Zhi fiercely, "You are a smart man, remember this, do your own thing and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask! Also, tell the soldiers in the camp what I said!"

"Yes!"

Qu Zhi suddenly straightened up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He knew that Yun Zheng had seen through their thoughts.

"Okay, let's finish the work here first, and call Zhou Mi to come to the county government office for a simple meal in the evening."

After giving Qu Zhi an instruction, Yun Zheng took his men away.

Before they had walked far, Miaoyin asked curiously, "I just heard you talking to Qu Zhi, and it seemed like something was wrong?"

Yun Zheng: "Didn't you hear the hidden meaning in his words?"

What's the implication?

Miaoyin shook her head slightly.

She did notice that Qu Zhi seemed to have something else in mind.

But she really didn't hear the specific implication.

Yun Zheng sighed softly: "Someone in the army is expecting me to return to the imperial city and seize the throne!"

Emperor Wen talked to him about this issue when he came to Shuobei for the second time.

He also knew this problem.

This is also a problem he must face.

But they didn't expect that after only having lived in peace for a little over a year, some people had already started thinking about these things.

It is said that when people have nothing to do, they tend to think too much, and it is indeed true.

Qu Zhi and the others were in Changle County because they were too bored, so they thought about these things.

If they were thrown onto the battlefield, they wouldn't have the time to think about these things.

"what?"

Miaoyin was surprised and asked in confusion: "Wasn't he asking about Yuzhou? How did he get to the point where you started a war to seize the throne?"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If I had the intention of raising an army to seize the throne, I would have regarded Yuzhou as my territory! With my temper, how could I not have any thoughts when someone attacked my own territory?"

A smart person can analyze one's own thoughts by analyzing his or her attitude toward the attack on Yuzhou.

If he directly intervened in Yuzhou's affairs now, almost everyone would think that he was going to seize the throne.

On the contrary, if he didn't care about the attack on Yuzhou, many people would know that he had no intention of raising an army to seize the throne, at least not in the short term!

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Miaoyin suddenly realized, "It seems that there are many people who hope that you will become the emperor!"

"Sure!"

Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, "I am a local lord. Those who followed me to fight in all directions, no matter how high their official positions are, they are not that high! But if I become the emperor, a general like Qu Zhi who has made great military achievements can at least become a marquis, right?"

When he becomes emperor, a large number of people will definitely be replaced by others in the court.

When someone goes down, someone will naturally go up!

When someone goes up, they will definitely give priority to their own direct descendants!

Miaoyin was speechless, but couldn't help but sigh: "They really think far ahead! They have started to think of things that we haven't even thought of yet."

“I understand this, right?”

Yun Zheng smiled, "They are all risking their lives. Who doesn't want to get promoted and make a fortune? Who doesn't want to benefit their descendants? It's just that they are a little too hasty!"

Maybe there are saints in this world!

But at least the vast majority of people are ordinary people.

You can't expect those people to follow you on your expeditions without any desire, right?

"That's true."

Miaoyin nodded, then asked worriedly, "Then do you want to give them a proper beating?"

"Didn't I just knock Qu Zhi?"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Qu Zhi is a smart man, he must have understood what I mean! A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer to be hit, there's no need to keep hitting him hard over this matter."

Miaoyin: "I know. I'm afraid they will take the initiative and deliberately stir up a dispute between you and the court."

"That won't happen!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said confidently: "Qu Zhi and Zhou Mi have been with me for a long time. They know my bottom line."

He was still relatively relieved about Qu Zhi and Zhou Mi.

They just wanted to test whether he had the intention to return to the imperial city and seize the throne. They would not be so shameless.

"Okay, just use your own discretion."

Miaoyin smiled and said no more.
