0433: Silent Defiance.
In the early morning, Hailan City ushered in a rare fine weather.
It will be spring in more than half a month, and it rarely snows in Beigang recently, but the temperature is still very low.
After Qiao Ji and Lei Nai finished exercising in the backyard of the castle, they walked to the restaurant to have breakfast.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
"Master, it's time to have breakfast." Xue Nai's soft voice sounded.
The white cat girl still likes Hailan City's kitchen very much, it is more convenient, spacious and comfortable than cooking on a boat.
"Okay, what delicious food did you make today?" Huan Ji asked gently.
"Today's breakfast is wild egg sour eggplant noodles." Xue Nai replied with a smile.
Qiao Ji raised her thick eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I ate wild egg sour eggplant noodles.
"Yes, last time I ate it in the imperial capital." Lei Nai rubbed his little hands happily.
"Eat it while it's hot, master." Xue Nai brought a bowl of noodles in front of the master.
Qiao Ji rubbed the white cat girl's head and said, "You should eat quickly, the dough will not taste good if it is lumpy.
"My lord, what is dough?" Xue Nai heard this word for the first time.
"The noodles absorb all the soup, and then stick together and are difficult to separate. This is called noodle lumps." Qiao Ji773 explained simply.
"I see."
Xue Nai shook her fluffy cat ears, remembering this strange word in her mind.
Lei Nai saw that the lord had already moved his chopsticks first, so he immediately started eating. He was already hungry after exercising for more than an hour.
Lian Xin looked at Qiao Ji who was eating with her charming eyes, and said, "My lord, yesterday's public trial was packed with people."
Yesterday, Hu Erniang went to Hailan Square to watch the public trial, especially when she saw Kilan being hanged in front of the gallows, the cheers were deafening.
Not only that, but the merchant Nim was hanged in front of the gallows, and the people below were shouting to execute him.
As for those who were sent to labor reform, they had to watch the execution end by hanging.
"What the people want." Qiao Ji smiled faintly.
Lian Xin took a sip of the noodle soup and said with a smile, "Everyone speaks highly of the lord."
Hu Erniang did not leave immediately after watching the execution last night, but stayed where she was to listen to everyone's views on the lord.
Almost everyone is praising Qiao Ji, and no one has anything bad to say.
"We have successfully (agai) taken the first step." Qiao Ji took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"I believe that after this public trial, some underground forces in Hailan City will definitely restrain themselves." Lei Nai said firmly.
Qiao Ji nodded slightly, got up and clapped her hands and said, "Let's go, go to the study to look at the map.
"Okay." Lei Nai and the others nodded, and followed behind to the study.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
In the study.
Qiao Ji looked at the map submitted by his subordinates. It was a piece of white paper with a length of one meter and a width of one meter.
The sea, Beigang River, Hailan City and surrounding terrain are painted on it, which looks clear at a glance.
"The map can be drawn in three days, not bad." Huan Ji nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, it was only three days before he went to inspect the farmland and then asked someone to draw a map.
"I heard that he was also a navigator before, so that's why he can draw so fast." Lian Xin said slowly blinking her curled eyelashes.
"Did Wanyun City and Shanghu City arrange for him to go?" Qiao Ji asked, turning his head sideways.
"It has been arranged. Fortunately, he is familiar with most of Beigang." Lian Xin continued.
"Let him draw a map of all the maps that belong to my territory." Qiao Ji ordered.
"Yes." Lian Xin responded immediately.
Qiao Ji turned his gaze back to the map, and glanced at the area near the farmland of Hailan City.
He saw a waterfall at a glance, and said happily, "Yes, there is a new water source."
Lei Nai also moved his head and asked, "My lord, this waterfall seems to be far away from our farmland.
"It's simple, just have someone dig a canal to lead to the farmland. Anyway, everyone has nothing to do in winter."
Qiao Ji took a sip of hot water in satisfaction, and continued, "Didn't Marquis Powell's grain arrive? Use the grain to hire people to dig."
He originally thought of using a water truck to divert water from the Beigang River, but the water truck can only quench his thirst for a while.
If the canals are repaired, Beigang will have a large piece of fertile land, and it will be no problem to feed millions of people.
And not only food can be grown, but also fruits, medicinal materials, etc. can be grown.
This is also the diversity of agriculture. Qiao Ji always feels that every line of work must do this to make the territory rich.
"Yes." Renai nodded thoughtfully.
While everyone was chatting, the time came to noon.
Qiao Ji and the others left the study after finishing their lunch, and just as they were about to go back to the study, the people from the block management department came.
Ha ha ha N
ah ah ah......
Qiao Ji brought Lei Nai and others to the castle hall.
He sat on the main seat, looked at Lako with a serious face and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Lord Marquis, after the public trial last night, the prices of grain, salt, and cloth in the city have all been raised during the day." La Kou immediately reported.
"How much?" Qiao Ji asked, frowning.
Lacole handed over a document to a maid, and then reported, "Master Marquis, the price after mentioning is double the original price.
Today's block management department is crazy busy, and there is a long queue of people who come to complain.
As soon as they entered, they began to complain, complaining about why the prices in Hailan City had suddenly become so high.
Usually a small bag of salt is only bought for a few copper coins, but this morning's salt was sold for one copper coin per bag.
The price of food, fabrics and fishing nets is the same as that of fishing nets, which is almost double the original price.
Qiao Ji took the document and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the more she frowned, and she asked in a deep voice, "Is the whole Hailan City like this?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Lako nodded.
"I see. Your department will go to appease everyone's emotions first, and I will think of a way first." Qiao Ji waved his hand.
He pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and began to think, knowing that this was a relative of those who were tried by the public, a silent resistance.
"Yes." Rako saluted and turned to leave the hall.
"Tat T T T T T T T T
Lei Nai's pretty face instantly turned cold, and he asked, "Master, do you want me to kill those guys?"
The black cat gritted her silver teeth in a womanly manner. If she hadn't been told by reason, the prestige of the lord Gangli could not be destroyed.
It is really possible for Lei Nai to take the treasure and kill those unscrupulous businessmen.
