Seeing Su Xinyi's horrified expression, Yan Junchu laughed heartily. Google search reading
Su Xinyi: ...
Su Xinyi's feelings towards the emperor are very complicated. Although she had seen the emperor very few times in her previous life, she felt very majestic. Meeting the emperor, she felt very oppressive.
Now she thinks about it, she can't even remember the face of His Majesty.
She knows that His Majesty likes Prince Rong very much. She also knows that when she set fire to the Prince of Pingjing's Mansion in her previous life, the prince was still safe and not abolished, but this does not mean that there are fewer undercurrents in the court.
Humph, Shang Junyan and his group desperately pushed Prince Rong to sit on the position of the crown prince. It is conceivable that His Royal Highness's situation is not very good.
Anyway, no one can figure out His Majesty's mind and don't know what he is thinking.
The two of them cooperated slowly, one sowing seeds and the other burying the soil, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
On the city wall, Xie Guan looked at this scene and couldn't describe his current mood.
Previously, Prince Rong helped Su Xinyi to plow the land. Prince Rong has always been unreliable in his work, which is not surprising.
But what is the prince doing?
If these things are written in the memorial to report to His Majesty, I wonder if His Majesty will think that he is talking nonsense and deceiving the emperor.
Prince Rong helped the plow and the prince sowed seeds. It is estimated that such a spectacular thing will be hard to see in the future. He still has the opportunity to see it once more.
Xie Guan looked at Su Xinyi who was burying the soil seriously, and he couldn't help thinking of her fighting with a spear on the battlefield, which reminded him of General Su.
When General Su was fighting, he was still a young boy who had just entered the battlefield. Seeing the blood, his legs trembled. He was fortunate to be included in General Su's central army.
He slowly accumulated military merits along the way, and the battle in which he became a Tongzhi later was the battle in which General Su was killed. That time he was ordered to raid the flank, but was not included in General Su's central army. When he brought his troops back, he knew that General Su was killed.
At that moment, all the soldiers' eyes were red.
Xie Guan pursed his lips. Su Chun, who swept through the enemy camp with a long spear, died in battle, but the Tartars and other tribes outside the Great Wall did not dare to attack the Southern Qi again for several years.
Although Su Xinyi was still very immature on the battlefield, she had the courage of General Su who was fearless and fearless.
Xie Guan slowly walked down the city wall. He had to go back to write a memorial, and how could he write it make people bald.
With Su Xinyi, why did he feel that his life suddenly had a lot more things.
Su Xinyi didn't know what Xie Guan was worried about. She sat on the ridge of the field to rest for a while, and handed another water bag that had not been drunk to the prince. An inexperienced person like the prince would definitely not remember to bring water when going out.
After Su Xinyi handed over the water bag, she realized it belatedly and asked, "Your Highness, where are Lord Yang and the others?"
Yang Jin and the others are the prince's personal guards, why are they nowhere to be seen?
Yan Junchu looked at the brand new water bag in his hand, and then turned his head to look at Su Xinyi, "Why, you still want them to serve as soldiers for you?"
Su Xinyi certainly didn't mean that, but when the prince asked this, it seemed that she really meant it.
"Of course not, I'm just curious why they didn't guard His Highness." Su Xinyi said immediately.
Yan Junchu chuckled at Su Xinyi's expression and looked at her sideways, "Ayuan, I'm with you, why does Yang Jin need to come? With you here, it's worth ten Yang Jins, he's very relieved."
Su Xinyi:...
How should she respond to this?
I always feel that His Highness's words are meant to be, but it seems to be nothing wrong. She really pays attention to his safety as long as she is by the prince's side.
But is Yang Jin so confident in her?
This is not right. As a guard, it's not like he has to distinguish between male and female flies that fly to His Highness.
Seeing the changing expression on Su Xinyi's face, Yan Junchu stopped teasing her and said with a smile: "I'm teasing you. I sneaked out to understand the people's sentiments. Yang Jin will naturally stay in the camp to manage the affairs."
Su Xinyi gritted her teeth. Why take a break? Get up and work!
Yan Junchu watched Su Xinyi get up angrily, and he also smiled and got up to continue working.
Farming is indeed a hard job. It was only halfway through the morning, and he just lowered his head to sow seeds. It was obviously the easiest part of farm work, but he felt very uncomfortable in his neck.
But he didn't stop and continued to work in the fields. On the other side, Zhanqiao and his team had finished most of it. After leaving a ridge for their own girl, they went to carry water to irrigate the fields. Last time, the Tartars came before they finished irrigating the fields, so they had to continue the rest of the work.
At noon, they did not return to the city, but took out the prepared cakes and ate the cakes with water as lunch. After a short rest after the meal, they continued to work. They were busy until the sunset, and the faces of the people were all red.
Yan Junchu shook his shoulders calmly. Carrying water is indeed a shoulder-breaking job.
Su Xinyi waved her hand and said, "Call it a day!"
There is still a small part left to be watered. It will be almost done tomorrow.
Zhan Qiao and his men ran away without stopping, saying that they were going back to cook.
Su Xinyi did not stop them. Her cooking skills were just average, not as good as Tian Zao and his friends. She was not angry when they despised her.
After entering the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate were replaced, but they still greeted Su Xinyi enthusiastically, "Sixth Miss, your land is not badly damaged, right?"
Su Xinyi nodded immediately, "Only five or six acres of land have been affected. We will be able to do it for another day tomorrow and that will be enough. What about you? How is the situation in the land? Is there enough grain?"
The soldier sighed, "Everyone is queuing up to borrow seeds over there, but I heard that there seems to be not enough grain, so they have to borrow it from the surrounding areas, which will delay it for a few days. It's already late today, and it will be a few days later." It is estimated that the harvest will not be much if you plant it, but if you don’t plant it, the land will be desolate, and people will be even more panicked, because there is no food.”
Su Xinyi frowned slightly, "Is there no other way?"
The soldier shook his head, "We are just guarding the city gate. What can we do? We can only wait for the adults above to think of a solution. I heard that Commander Jie is busy working on this matter."
Su Xinyi said: "What you are saying is that we should do our part well, and the adults above will naturally figure out other things."
Su Xinyi said goodbye to others and continued walking into the city. There were not many people on the street today. It seemed that the soldiers were right. Everyone might be waiting to borrow grain and seeds over there, and those borrowed had to be replanted quickly. There is no time to wander on the street.
If the weather is missed and the food harvest is not good, then it is a heartbreaking thing.
Yan Junchu looked at the thoughtful Su Xinyi and asked: "As for the grain, I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow it from the surrounding areas for the time being. This time the army goes on an expedition, a lot of military grain will be collected along the way."
Su Xinyi's face darkened, knowing that this was a routine matter, and sighed and said, "The people in the border towns are the ones who suffer."
You have to think of other ways to do it. Su Xinyi has never encountered this kind of thing. It would be great if Shang Junyan was here. He is full of tricks and tricks. He helped King Rong rise step by step, which shows that he has King Rong's heart.
Shang Junyan, who was far away in the capital and was investigating cases at the Ministry of Justice, couldn't help but sneeze. Who was talking about him?
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's gloomy look. It was hard to imagine that at such a young age, she would be so worried about the affairs of the people. Even a student who had just entered the officialdom would not have such a heart.
"Do you have any ideas?" Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and asked.
Su Xinyi shook his head subconsciously, but halfway through, when he met Yan Junchu's calm and trusting gaze, he felt a little guilty for no reason.
When she walked to the door of her house, Su Xinyi wanted to invite Yan Junchu to have dinner before leaving, but Yan Junchu said goodbye to her, "There are still many things to deal with, so I won't disturb you today. I'll visit you another day."
Su Xinyi breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief and immediately said: "Your Highness, walk slowly."
Yan Junchu smiled and said, "Go back."
Yan Junchu saw that Su Xinyi had no intention of turning around and knew that he was waiting for him to leave first, so he smiled and left.
As soon as Yan Junchu left, Su Xinyi entered the house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Yi who was talking to Zhan Qiao and others in the courtyard. He was immediately surprised and said, "Brother!"
Su Yi turned her head when she heard the voice, and looked at her sister for a moment, almost not recognizing her. Her eyes were sore, "Sixth sister, thank you for your hard work."
Su Xinyi waved his hand, "If it's not hard work, this little work is nothing."
Su Xinyi wasn't lying. She used to go hunting in the mountains for several days at a time, which was considered hard work.
Su Yi looked at his sister up and down. She was thinner, darker, and stronger. However, he still pressed her down on the seat and said seriously: "I heard that the Tatars invaded and you went into battle to charge. You How could you be so bold? It scared my heart."
Su Xinyi obediently stopped the training and waited until his eldest brother finished the training. Then he said obediently: "Brother, don't talk about me at that time. Everyone who can move in the city rushed out after the army. Everyone saw at that time With family members and comrades dead and wounded in battle, no one is willing to hide under the eaves and survive. Brother, I was just shocked by the courage of the people at the border and couldn't help but rush out. "
Su Yi believed that the people at the border were bloody, but he never believed that his sister would rush out like this. She must be the one taking the lead!
But it's too late to say anything now. He looked at his sister and said: "March and fight are different from competing with others. Don't be so reckless in the future. Think about brother before you do anything. I can't stand this kind of thing a few times."
"Okay, I will definitely not do this next time." Su Xinyi said with a smile.
Su Yi looked at her sister's smile and couldn't help but smile too. Then she said worriedly: "How to distribute your credit is also a headache now. If you wait any longer, the decision has not been made yet."
After more than ten levels of beheading, if the younger sister were the main household member, she would have been able to give birth to Mr. Ren, but since she was a post household and a woman, it would be a bit difficult to handle.
Su Xinyi didn't care at all, "It doesn't matter. It's okay not to remember it."
She joined the army just to realize her ideals, and not to be promoted based on merit. She just wanted to see the path her father had taken, and nothing else mattered.
There are more important things at the moment. Su Xinyi looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, I have something to ask you about grain seeds..."
Su Xinyi had no good solution on her own, but she could ask for advice.
The sage said that when three people are together, there must be a teacher. In her previous life, she was too sensitive and self-respecting, and she couldn't bear to ask others for advice. She had to learn such a painful lesson, and she had to change it well.
After listening to his sister's words, Su Yi shook his head and said, "I can't do anything about the grain matters, but I will report it to Commander Guo to see if he can get around it." After saying that, he stood up and said, "Time "Precious, I'll ask first."
"Brother, you eat first and then go."
"No, I'll eat when I get back, you guys eat first." Su Yi waved his hands and walked out.
As soon as Su Yi left, Su Xinyi looked at the others and said, "Leave some food for the eldest brother, let's eat first."
The others divided the work quickly, and those who left food, served food, and served food became busy immediately.
After Su Xinyi finished her meal, Bao Datong and Tian Zao went to wash the pots and dishes, and Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing checked the farm tools. If there were any damages, they had to be repaired in time and could not be delayed for tomorrow's use.
Now there was nothing for Su Xinyi to do, so she went back to her room to wash up.
A clean room was specially prepared in the backyard for her to use. She came out of the backyard to wash up, wiped her hair half dry, and then sat on a chair under the eaves of the corridor to let the warm evening breeze blow her dry.
If it is impossible to transfer grain seeds from the surrounding prefectures and counties, then the border town will not have grain seeds to distribute to them, Yulin Guard.
Since the internal transfer is not possible, can they go to the nearby grassland tribes to "borrow grain".
They can come to "borrow" the grass valley of Southern Qi, why can't they borrow from them?
It doesn't matter if there is no food. They have horses, furs and other things that can be bartered. If they rob the things first, they can send caravans to farther places to exchange these things for food. In this way, everyone doesn't have to worry about going hungry when the harvest is poor next year.
Su Xinyi thinks this method is feasible, but she can't do it alone.
Commander Jie will definitely not agree with her method. After all, the face of Southern Qi is also very important.
The dignified Celestial Empire goes to rob...
The censors can impeach them to death!
Alas, they care about the face but lose the substance.
So annoying, so annoying.
Why can the Tartars rob them, but they can't rob them back!
Su Xinyi suddenly remembered that she is now a householder. Householders are free. What Commander Jie can't do, she can do!
Su Xinyi jumped up suddenly, startling Tian Zao and others who were dozing off on the side, and they all opened their eyes and looked at her.
Su Xinyi ignored them and hurried back to her room to look at the map.
Tian Zao looked at the confused faces around him, opened his mouth, and said after a long while: "Sixth Miss, what's wrong?"
Cao Qing has always been smart, but at this moment he suddenly had a bad premonition.
He went to see Zhan Qiao, who met his eyes and lowered his head silently.
Okay, as expected of an old friend, it seems that Zhan Qiao also thinks so.
Su Xinyi didn't sleep much that night, holding a map and looking at it over and over again. The next morning, she opened the door with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. Yulinwei was a little cold in the early morning, and she wrapped her clothes around her.
She was not good at doing business, but she knew someone was good at it. Go and borrow a few salt merchants from Jing'an Prefecture from His Highness.
These people are all guilty, and now they are brought up to share the country's worries and make meritorious contributions.
Speaking of which, Mu Xing should do something.
