Qin Bo's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment.

Governor Feng used the cover of the tea cup to glance down, and then said quietly:

"But, as for the brown sugar share, it still depends on sugar cane. If the school office can find other sources of sugar cane, I will naturally be willing to give the school office a share of brown sugar..."

Qin Bo only felt that talking to the guy above him made his mood fluctuate like a boat sailing on a river.

If he had been an official of Wu State, he would have used his special skills to give this guy a taste of what it means to be unable to stop.

"Other sources of sugar cane?" Qin Bo frowned, this was not easy to handle.

The places where sugar cane is grown are Jiaozhou and southern Jingzhou.

Where else can we find the rest?

"Actually, it's not that we don't want to sell more brown sugar. As early as two years ago, I mentioned it to the Zhang family and suggested that we try to grow some sugar cane north of the Xiang River."

As he spoke, Governor Feng shook his head and said with some regret, "Nai He took into account the views of the land general, so there has been little progress in this matter."

Qin Bo was startled: "General?"

"Yes, a few years ago, when I became the general, didn't I propose to Lord Wu that the generals in the army should clear up wasteland in Jingzhou to prepare military supplies?"

"Many of the fields in the north of Jingzhou are owned by generals in the army. So if you plant sugar cane, wouldn't you be carrying the original intention of the general?"

Qin Bo was thoughtful, and after a long time, he finally sighed unwillingly:

"It's true. Compared with the benefits of brown sugar, food in the army is the most important thing."

"Actually," Governor Feng said slowly, "there is nothing we can do about food."

When Qin Bo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Please give me some advice from your Majesty."

Feng Jishi glanced at him and said hesitantly:

"To be fair to the Qin school, in fact, the grain harvest in Shuzhong has been good in recent years, and the price is also low. The so-called cheap grain hurts farmers, and the Han Dynasty also has this concern."

"It's just that the food supply for the Jingzhou army is of great importance. Firstly, I'm afraid of attracting dissatisfaction from the generals on land, and secondly, there are not many connections in Shu, alas!"

As Governor Feng spoke, his face was filled with regret, as if he felt sorry for the large grain growers in Shu who were forced to sell grain at a low price.

The School Affairs Office was hated by people and ghosts in the Wu Kingdom. Who among the self-proclaimed scholars would be willing to stoop to work in the School Affairs Office?

Lü Yi, Qin Bo and others were not successful enough but failed too much. They were not very knowledgeable and did not even know the most basic techniques of governing the country, let alone the higher-level ways of running a country.

But we can’t blame them. After all, even in the information age where knowledge is exploding in later generations, how many countries have been harvested over and over again by Amelia using the dollar tidal cycle?

The elites of those countries that have been harvested may not necessarily know what their country will eventually face.

But in the face of huge interests, it is unknown which side their butts will sit on.

And Qin Bo is not even considered an elite in this era, so how can he see clearly the sinister intentions behind the huge temptation thrown by King Feng Gui?

Hearing the heavy breathing coming from below, the corners of Feng Guiwang's mouth curled up slightly again.

"Jun...junhou," Qin Bo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "If, if this villain has a way to solve this problem, will the monarch be willing to provide food to Jingzhou?"

"Being able to solve the problem of low grain prices and harming farmers in Sichuan Province is a great political achievement. Why wouldn't I want to?"

Governor Feng asked rhetorically.

Qin Bo quickly calculated in his mind:

Coming here this time, trading war horses is considered a credit, but at most I only get the benefit of the doubt.

However, any one of these three things, namely the monopoly on woolen materials, the share of brown sugar, and solving the problem of food shortage in Jingzhou, is a great achievement!

Moreover, buying grain from Shu at a low price and reselling it cannot be in vain, right? The oil and water here...

He couldn't concentrate anymore and couldn't stop his heartbeat from pounding in his chest.

At that moment he couldn't help shouting:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I lived in Wu, and I occasionally had dealings with the Xinghan Hui. I often heard people from the Xinghan Hui praising you for your righteousness and Bo Yuntian, and that you are the leader of the great men of the Han Dynasty."

"Today I have to meet you, your lord, and I'm very trustworthy!"

Governor Feng laughed:

"Qin is over-praised for school affairs, over-honored! It's just a compliment from the brothers in the club."

"If the Qin School Minister is really interested in promoting this matter, I can recommend three people: one is Li Yi and Li Wenxuan from the Prime Minister's Palace, the other is Li Feng and Li Haoxuan who are in charge of grain and grass in Hanzhong, and the third is Deng Liang and Deng Weizhe from Jincheng."

"If we can get the help of these three people, the harvesting of grain in Shu will definitely go smoothly."

Qin Bo was overjoyed and bowed deeply:

"Thank you, Lord!"

"you are welcome!"

Governor Feng laughed again, extremely bold.

The big grain growers in Sichuan have been suppressed for so long, so they should be given some sweetness...

Governor Feng smiled even more happily and said with a smile:

"Actually, the most important thing about this matter is the attitude of the general on land. School Minister Qin should think about how to persuade the general on land."

"Thank you, Lord, for reminding me."

Qin Bo also laughed.

If it were anyone else, it might not be easy to say, but as for the general, the school affairs office has actually considered reducing his authority for a long time.

The reason is also very simple.

Lu Xun was based in Wuchang, in charge of nearly half of Wu, and could even raise his own money and food from Jingzhou.

How is this different from the princes and kings?

It seems that after returning home, Lu Zhongshu will be asked to remind His Majesty that this is not the way for a monarch and his ministers to get along with each other!
