133: King Rong Farms

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Of course, Su Xinyi didn't have anything to do with the Jie Feng banquet. Even though she was Su Chun's child, she was still a daughter. All the Yulin Guard generals were at the Jie Feng banquet, so everyone felt uncomfortable going there alone as a woman.

Moreover, the people in Yulinwei didn't know her well. Although they didn't know why she came to be a post-husband, no one would take her seriously and would only regard her as a trouble.

Su Xinyi knew this very well, so she took the opportunity to slip away in front of the city gate. She did not put the city guards in a dilemma, and she did not have to waste time on useless things. She did what she could do first.

She just didn't expect that King Rong would come suddenly and instead of eating his banquet, he would come to cause trouble for her. Su Xinyi had a headache.

When a person comes, you can't drive him away. Ask him to sit down and give him a share of the food.

King Rong looked at the wild vegetable dumplings in his hand. The wild vegetables in the bowl were mushy and he had no desire to eat them. Is this really edible?

Not to mention eating, he has never seen such a thing in his whole life.

But he saw that everyone in the room was enjoying the food except him, so he lowered his head and took a bite of the vegetable dumplings, which almost made him spit them out.

It had a bit of astringent taste and was rough and scratched his throat. This mouthful of dumplings was hard to swallow, but it was hard to spit out and made him blush from holding it in.

Su Xinyi laughed when he saw it, "Your Highness has never eaten this kind of thing, has he? I often ate this kind of thing when I was young."

King Rong swallowed the mouthful with difficulty. Hearing Su Xinyi's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Did you eat this when you were a child?" His tone was incredible. Such a young child would eat such a thing?

Su Xinyi nodded, "When I was a child, no one helped my mother to take care of me, so she had to take me by herself. Countryside people divide the land according to population. My mother and I moved to other people's villages. There was no clan in the beginning. Bless us, we didn’t even get a share of the land. It took a few years to allocate some thin fields. The land we were allocated was small and barren and we couldn’t grow much food. In order to survive from starvation, we could only use a little grain mixed with wild vegetables to make it. This kind of dumplings or various kinds of paste are eaten. Occasionally, my mother can catch a pheasant or mountain rabbit and have a bite of meat. "

Su Xinyi looked at King Rong's astonished expression and lowered his head with a smile, "Your Highness, don't be so surprised. Countryside people live like this. If your family has a prosperous family, you will have more food in the fields. If you have a small family, it will be easier." We have to live frugally, so in the countryside, all our daughters have to work in the fields. I have been hunting with my mother since I could walk. When I was very young, my mother would tie me to a tree with a rope because she was afraid that I would be in danger. The rope was only one or two feet long, so I moved within this range, and then my mother used branches to trap me within the range of my movements, fearing that I would be eaten by wild beasts.”

What Wang Rong heard was simply unbelievable. Looking at Su Xinyi in front of him, it was hard to imagine the life she lived as a child.

"Don't look at me like that. Children in the countryside grow up like this. The adults in the family have to go to the fields when they are busy farming. There is no time to look after the children. The older ones go to the fields with them, and those who are not big or small just go to the fields. "Who's child has never been tied up with a rope around his waist if he can be tied up at home?" Su Xinyi didn't feel it was hard. He was tied up because he was afraid that the child would be in danger if he ran around. With the rope tied up, he could move within a controllable range. No more danger.

Seeing that King Rong's eyes were red, Su Xinyi couldn't laugh or cry. She pointed at Tian Zao and Bao Datong and said: "Their parents died in the hands of the Tatars. When Luo Baoding was old, he followed the adults to flee for their lives. I don't know how much hardship they suffered. We went all the way from the border to the capital just to survive. Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing are the guards of our Su family, and we have been practicing bow and horse martial arts since we were young. If you want to live well in this world, your highness is the only one who doesn't work hard. In the world of nobles, only children born into the families of princes, officials, and wealthy merchants can be carefree."

King Rong's world has always been colorful, peaceful, and fairy-like. The days he stood in the clouds suddenly opened another completely different door. The world inside this door was something he had never seen before. Yes, he doesn't know what ordinary people's lives are like.

Seeing King Rong's ups and downs of emotions, Su Xinyi persuaded him for the last time, "Your Highness, you see, it is difficult to live in Yulinwei. As tenants, we have to farm to have food. Now is not the time to farm." The food you eat is subsidized by the military, and you have to pay it back after you plant the land. Have you ever seen a hoe and can you write with your hands? You have done painting, raised a wine glass, and cracked a whip, but you have never held a hoe.”

"Your Highness, you left the capital privately and came to Yulin Guard without His Majesty's orders. You have no official or position, and the title of a prince is nothing more than an empty show. How can such an empty prince like you live in Yulin Guard today? In the eyes of soldiers who will be alive tomorrow, to put it bluntly, they are trash. "

King Rong:......

"You are a prince here. We have to save food for you to eat and drink, and spend manpower to protect your safety. You alone can support the expenses of hundreds of people. If you stay here for one more day, the number of people who secretly scold you will continue to increase. ”

King Rong:......

"Do you know how many people you will cause trouble by coming here willfully? You don't know anything. You don't even know that your coming here will only get you into trouble unless you can show your ability to convince everyone. But, Your Highness What can you do? Don't make such a joke. Without His Majesty's will, will everyone's lives be taken away? Can His Highness's hands not hold the hoe? Wen can't rule the world, and force can't defeat the enemy. Your Highness, why did you come to Yulin Guard just to get scolded?"

King Rong:......

Su Xinyi didn't look coldly or aggressively, and even her tone was very gentle, but every word pierced into King Rong's heart.

He seems to be really too impulsive. The ability he was once proud of is really useless in a place like the border. Is it right to recite poetry? Talk about romance? It's just a joke to kill the enemy with Kung Fu that even Su Xinyi can't defeat!

After Su Xinyi said this, he paused and then said: "Your Highness, go back and think about it carefully. What you are facing here is a long winter and endless desolation. You are facing the enemy's swords and the brave and skilled cavalry that come and go like the wind. Every scar on the city wall when we entered the city is a witness to the enemy's attack on the city. It is the glory and imprint left by the years on this city. It is a border defense forged with the blood of every soldier who died here. "

King Rong left in silence, and Su Xinyi also remained silent without leaving anyone behind.

The others looked at each other, and finally remained silent.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong didn't look very good either. Only Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing Ruchang were in the military. They were naturally very familiar with these things and knew that what the sixth girl said was true and not to scare people.

Because of this, both of them were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Miss Six actually knew so much.

Su Xinyi calmed down, looked at a few people and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Zhanqiao was a pragmatic person and said directly: "Let's plant the land first."

The prince will go out with the army this time and may leave after the battle, but the sixth girl will definitely not run away after a battle this time. In this case, long-term plans must be made, and farming is imperative.

If they don't farm and don't have food to eat, they will be hungry. Even if they secretly buy food in private, the guard will turn a blind eye for the sake of the Su family, but this is not a long-term solution because of the border crossing. There are very few merchants, and whether you can buy it or not depends on your luck.

Cao Qing continued: "Seeds and farm tools have been distributed, but there are no cattle."

Without cattle, land reclamation relies entirely on hands, which is much harder.

It’s not like we don’t give away cattle, because there really aren’t any extra, and everyone is waiting in line.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said: "Then use horses instead of cattle and clear out the wasteland as soon as possible. We can't grow food for the time being. Let's grow some vegetables to eat first. If we grow well, we might be able to exchange vegetables for food."

Vegetables are always in short supply at borders. They are delicate and require frequent watering and careful care. It is not as worry-free as growing grains. Not many people are willing to spend a lot of time growing vegetables. If they have the time, they would rather open up more wasteland to grow food.

Hearing Su Xinyi's words, Tian Zao and Bao Datong were full of excitement. They used horses instead, which would save much effort.

Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing were a little reluctant to let go.

Su Xinyi looked at them and said: "Our horses are all brought by ourselves and supported by ourselves. Others will not gossip. Moreover, the horses must be trained regularly, otherwise they will be exhausted if they are kept in pens. Farming will replace training." It’s the same thing.”

What Su Xinyi didn't say was that the enemy's cavalry came at a moment's notice, and they could run fast with horses by their side.

After everyone discussed it, they went back to their rooms to rest. They had to get up before dawn the next day, so there was no time to waste.

Su Xinyi fell asleep without any distracting thoughts. She had already had her own plan before she came, so she was not in a hurry now. There was no female military camp, so she slowly built one by herself. The female military camp during the Taizu period fell from the sky. Came down?

No, it was Taizu's wife who called on the local women to pick up swords and guns in order to save her husband.

She can also do it slowly. She is still young and cannot convince the crowd. She must first make some achievements so that the women in this city can support her, trust her and take her as the leader. Only then can she have a foundation to stand on. .

Farming and growing vegetables is a good entry point. After all, the women in Yulinwei all farm. They have common topics from the same starting point. Su Xinyi understands this better than anyone else.

Others regard farming as a chore, but for her it is a chance of life.

Su Xinyi got up early before dawn. What she brought here this time were men's clothes that were convenient for traveling and working. The colors were also chosen to be gray and dark, which are stain-resistant and wear-resistant.

With her hair neatly tied up, Su Xinyi opened the door and came out.

Tian got up early and was making breakfast in the kitchen. Bao Datong and Zhan Qiao were nowhere to be seen. Su Xinyi opened the door and walked in and asked.

Tian Zao saw that the vegetable porridge was boiling, so he quickly turned off the fire. He also had to save firewood and only used the remaining fire to simmer slowly. Mixed flour pancakes are being baked on the griddle on the other side. Both sides are browned and the tangy aroma greets you.

Su Xinyi stepped forward to help put the baked cake on the plate, and put another piece of cake skin on the spoon. While listening to Tian Zao said: "Bao Datong went out to inquire about the news. Brother Zhan and Brother Cao went to the fields." Let’s look for a place and we’ll be back soon.”

Su Xinyi nodded. There were many of them, and when they could all eat, the cakes filled two large plates. Su Xinyi looked at it and thought that farming was indeed an urgent matter. Everyone had a big appetite, and there was no food to eat. no.

Mixed flour cakes and wild vegetable porridge were put on the table, and they came back.

Everyone gathered around the table to eat. Su Xinyi drank the porridge and listened to Cao Qing say: "The land allocated to us is not uncultivated land, but it was allocated to people for farming before, but later died in the war. That piece of land has become free, and it will be allocated to us as soon as we arrive.”

Situations like this are common in the military. After all, as soon as a war starts, there will be casualties, and the military will also distribute them according to military merit and seniority.

They needed it. They were new to the country and had little ability to get such a piece of land. It was probably because of the Su family.

Su Xinyi had no complaints and took everyone to see the place after dinner.

Because of the recent war, the land far outside the city was taken over by the city's soldiers. Su Xinyi and the others were allocated land not far outside the city wall. This place is highly secure. If the enemy attacks, Sayazi only needs to run to the city gate. Time for a cup of tea.

Su Xinyi remembered this friendship, which was the legacy of her father. Although the generals in the city did not agree with her, they took care of the subtle things.

They were allotted eighty acres of land, which was quite a big piece of land. There were still furrows in the land that had been plowed by the previous owner. Su Xinyi skillfully hitched the plow to his horse and used his whip to support the plow to plow the land.

other people:……

Do you know how to farm land?

Who of the children who grew up in the countryside doesn’t know how to farm?

Su Xinyi ignored their surprised extension. Tian Zao and Bao Datong really didn't know how to do it. They were sweating just by harnessing farm tools to horses. Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing were calm on their faces, but their hands were a little hectic. They didn't do anything. Cross the ground

If you think about it carefully, among these many people, only the master has experience. This is... strange.

Farming cannot be said to be a technical job, but it does require some skill and experience. It is also farming. Why do some people do it well while others do not?

How to support the plow more effortlessly, and how deep should the plow plow? Which way does the plowed soil go?

Planting vegetables is different from growing grain. When planting grain, you need to make small furrows, while when planting vegetables, you need to make big furrows. When you go to cultivate the land, you turn the soil to the left, and when you return, you turn the soil to the left. In this way, the soil turned out back and forth is gathered together to form a ready-made furrow. Save time and effort.

If someone who doesn't know how to do it can only plow the land one crop after another, and after plowing the land again, he has to use a hoe to make furrows again, then it will be an extra step, a waste of manpower, material resources and time.

After a busy morning, Su Xinyi's palms were already red. She wiped the sweat from her face with a cloth and sat on the ground to rest.

She was happy when she looked at the straight furrows in the land she was plowing and then looked at other people.

Su Xinyi didn't see Xie Guan and others standing on the city wall looking over here, nor did she see King Rong leaning over with his head down and his face slumped. She calculated in her mind how many days they could finish plowing the land and irrigating it. This is also a problem. Most of the border areas are dry land. It is not easy to irrigate and the soil is not fertile. These are all problems.

Su Xinyi sighed deeply. If his grandfather knew that he was farming here, he would probably laugh. If his mother knew, she would definitely feel sad.

King Rong took a few steps forward. Before Su Xinyi noticed him, he saw her frowning and staring into the distance. She didn't know what she was thinking, and her face was very solemn.

Forget it, he'd better go there by himself.

Su Xinyi was thinking about something when suddenly a shadow fell around her, blocking the scorching sun. She turned her head and met King Rong's bitter and angry face.

Su Xinyi's eyebrows twitched, feeling that something was wrong, and immediately stood up to take a preemptive strike, "Has His Highness decided to return to the capital?"

Get out of here, she is a big burden here. This person is like a dog-skin plaster that cannot be removed. It is really annoying.

King Rong faced Su Xinyi and said seriously: "I decided to stay after a night of careful consideration. You are right, I don't know anything and will only cause trouble to others, but I can learn. You see, don't they do the same? Are you studying? I can, too.”

Su Xinyi:......

What is this development?

Faced with Su Xinyi's surprised look, King Rong couldn't help but feel proud, "How can he really lose to a woman if you look down on me?"

When Su Xinyi can do it, why can't he?

Isn’t it just farming?

Thousands of people in Southern Qi can farm. As a prince, he should take care of the hard work of the people. This is what he should do!

Seeing that Su Xinyi was speechless for a while, King Rong said proudly: "I have written a letter of apology to my father. I have made a self-examination in the letter and expressed my determination to stay. Don't worry, my father will definitely I will agree."

He is willing to understand the sentiments of the people. How can his father refuse to agree to such a good thing?

Su Xinyi:......

She took a deep breath, another breath, and pressed her feet hard. She couldn't kick, couldn't kick!

There is definitely something wrong with this brain, right?

I can't help it!

Su Xinyi forced out a smile and pointed to the plow on the field, "Since Your Highness wants to understand the sentiments of the people, let's start now."

I can’t cure you yet!

After one round of plowing, this man just gave up. No matter how high-spirited he was, could he resist the pain in his arms caused by holding the plow?

She can't even lift her arms now. Can this one bear it?

King Rong glanced at Su Xinyi silently, then turned to look at the plow with his head lowered. Then he strode over, picked up the plow and drove the horse forward. When the horse moved, the plow in King Rong's hand almost flew out. Busy pressed the plowshare hard and dug it into the soil. He used too much force and the horse struggled. He pushed the plow as hard as he could, but the speed was even slower. Moreover, the greater the force, the more difficult it was to control the plow. , he was sweating after only a few steps.

He had clearly seen Su Xinyi walking briskly while holding the plow, why was it so difficult for him?

They were clearly using one plow and one horse, what was wrong?

Prince Rong stopped the horse and squatted down to carefully look for the reason, but it didn't work very well, because he really didn't understand this, the two dark iron plates seemed to be silently mocking him.

Prince Rong took a deep breath, it doesn't matter, if you don't know how to do it, just learn, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

If he really stayed in the future, he could already predict that he would be embarrassed more and more times.

Face was something that had long been gone in front of Su Xinyi, it was just one more time.

Xie Guan and others standing on the city wall were dumbfounded, what kind of development was this?

It was reasonable for General Su's daughter to come to the border as a householder, although they were a little annoyed that she came to the border to cause trouble as a woman, but Miss Su Liu was very tactful and never caused them trouble since she came, and she had no dissatisfaction with the things distributed.

Worry-free was their first impression of Su Xinyi.

Now, when they watched Prince Rong go down to the field to help with the plow and then asked Miss Su Liu for advice, everyone's faces were particularly wonderful.

They had heard that Prince Rong was arrogant and domineering. He was simply a bully in the capital. Even in front of the Crown Prince, he would say whatever he wanted. He was used to doing whatever he wanted. Now he was asking for advice on farming?

Were they dazzled, or was there something wrong with the world?

Everyone looked at each other, and finally it was the co-governor Guo Hong who spoke up: "Sir, I'm afraid this matter must be reported. Prince Rong left the capital without permission. Since we met His Highness, we naturally have to report back to His Majesty."

As for whether they would offend Prince Rong, they didn't care. The generals guarding the border were loyal to His Majesty. If they angered Prince Rong, they might settle accounts with them in a dozen years. If they angered His Majesty, they would lose their heads now.

Xie Guan's mouth twitched. How should this memorial be written?

Write that His Highness Prince Rong traveled thousands of miles to the border just to farm?

He felt it was too shameful to watch, would His Majesty believe it?

But this was the truth.

Xie Guan's mouth twitched, and the trembling expression on his face was like a bunch of hemp ropes tangled together.

He wiped his face hard, and said, "Write it, write it truthfully. If His Majesty doesn't believe it, just send someone to see it."

Anyway, Prince Rong didn't leave, and they couldn't drive him away, nor did they have the courage to drive him away. They could only report it to His Majesty and let His Majesty decide how to deal with this son.

Xie Guan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to go back to write the memorial. When he wrote about Su Xinyi, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to write it truthfully.

No matter what Su Xinyi came here to do, he reported it truthfully, which was considered to be a feat of Su Chun's sacrifice for the country.

If it were someone else, he would have reported it long ago.

Xie Guan's memorial and Prince Rong's memorial flew to the capital one after another. The emperor in the capital first received his son's memorial of apology, and the stubborn request to stay in Yulinwei made him so angry that he almost jumped up.

Before he could vent his anger, he received another memorial from Xie Guan. After reading the contents of the memorial, the emperor remained silent.

Jingxing farms?

This is as unreliable as daydreaming. After he read the memorial carefully, the emperor remained silent.

Su Xinyi... Su Chun's daughter, Jingxing suffered several times because of her, and now she can let Jingxing farm.

Interesting.

The emperor's fingers gently pressed on Xie Guan's memorial, and after a long time, he wrote two words, "Read".

The memorial was sent back to Yulin Guard. Looking at the big bright red words "Read", there was no other handwriting. What does your majesty mean?

How to deal with Prince Rong?

The emperor did not write a word, and Xie Guan's head became even balder.

"Read", the emperor told him that I know, and then... nothing else.

Xie Guan did not sleep all night, with dark bags under his eyes, and he looked at everyone with murderous intent. The entire Yulin Guard was very angry and dared not speak.

If it was an enemy attack, it would be great. The commander-in-chief would have a place to vent his anger.
