Chu Yu's letter was very long.
First, he briefly explained the negotiations with the two princes and the three major families.
There is no process, only results.
The result was of course as Wei Xiyin hoped. King Cheng'an agreed to go back and clean up Xuzhou, and King Hedong cooperated with the three major families to send troops to Kyoto, responsible for collecting meteorites in the surrounding area.
Regarding the issue of farming, Chu Yu distributed the amount of grain to each household based on the population of each place, and controlled it to about enough to eat for one year.
If the fields are not cultivated this year, they will run out of food next year, so they will have no choice but to farm diligently this year.
As for the remaining granaries, we will look for refugee gathering places in nearby counties and prefectures, settle the people, encourage them to resume farming, and provide the people with the relief food they need for the upcoming drought.
The only thing that went beyond the plan was the Gong family. When the Gong family's fort was blown up, Wei Xiyin personally said to Gong Chun, "I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you."
Now, the demand has come, and he asked for 100,000 grains and 200 small black balls.
Chu Yu had no way to break the girl’s promise.
Chu·Yin Yang Guai Qi·Yu: This is the first time a girl has suffered a loss. Sooner or later, she will have to pay for it. She will get used to it in the future.
Wei Xiyin: “…”
Last winter, each of the three major families received 100,000 shi of winter grain from the granary.
The Fan family lost Hongnong County, and it was unknown whether the grain was still there. The grain of the Huayin Dou family was distributed to the army, but the Gong family of Lu's County did not give a penny.
If another 100,000 are divided now, the amount of stored grain will be close to that of Qinghe County. The key is that they do not have that many people.
Chu Yu said in the letter that the monsters in Hongnong County were being cleared out one after another, and the 5,000 dan of relief grain for Huaili County was taken from the Gong family in Lu's County, so it was delivered so quickly.
Gong Chun obviously wanted to exchange five thousand for one hundred thousand.
The abacus beads are about to jump out of my face.
Wei Xiyin had no choice but to continue reading.
After that, there was a transaction with the Hedong Kingdom. The Princess of Hedong came forward and exchanged a thousand small black balls for silkworms. There were three types of silkworms: spring silkworms, summer silkworms, and autumn silkworms, and the quantity was extremely large.
King Cheng'an also wanted the little black ball and the silkworm, but Chu Yu did not agree.
He bluntly said that if Hedong Kingdom made a deal with King Cheng'an, the Wei family would withdraw immediately.
Xuzhou is very close to Yizhou. If you want the little black balls and silkworms, sure, go back and clean up your land first, and then send someone to Qinghe County to negotiate. We also have silkworms.
King Cheng'an has a strong army and likes to play badly. If there is no benefit in front of him, he will just go back and lie down after getting the food, and then no one will be able to do anything to him.
At the end of the letter, Chu Yu said that it would take about another month to complete the affairs of Hongnong.
Wei Xiyin read the entire letter. Everything was going smoothly, so she pretended not to see Gong Chun's accident.
What else can I do?
You can't go back on your words once you've said them.
After all, she is the head of the family now and cannot afford to lose face.
Wei Xiyin picked up her pen and wrote back to the two of them. Her brother's leg would start treatment immediately, and it would be just the right time for him to return to Yizhou in a month.
Why does it take 40,000 people to build a dock? How can they work if they can't even set foot on the construction site?
Why not lead the army to Kyoto to take a look while King Cheng'an and she are still here? As the capital of a country, retaking Kyoto will bring great encouragement to all places, and sooner or later all the zombies in the world will be wiped out.
She couldn't get away for the time being and had to wait until the rooster was found and saw the treatment with her own eyes before she could feel at ease, so she asked Chu Yu to take charge of the arrangements first.
As for the reply letter to Gong Chun, he was still angry, so he just drew a big '√' on the paper and stuffed it into the envelope.
Wei Xiyin called the guards and asked them to deliver the letter to Qichuan.
The guards rode at full speed.
The messenger and the man looking for the rooster arrived in Qichuan one after another.
Gong Chun opened the letter and saw that it had been stuffed into the envelope before the ink had dried. The \u0027√\u0027 had already become a mess. He sneered.
"There are roosters in Lushi County. A small black ball to send away beggars?"
Gong Chun said calmly, "I want to buy ten."
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Liu Langjun was asking for a higher price, but they didn't dare to make the decision. If they went back to ask the girl, it would take several days to go back and forth, so they had no choice but to go to Mr. Chu.
Chu Yu was very busy. Scouts went out in batches to investigate the surviving population in the surrounding area. He was responsible for distributing the remaining food and dealing with each family.
Hearing this, he said, "Ten is ten. You didn't bid a hundred. I think you're being lenient."
The girl likes to get angry with Gong Chun for no reason.
The two of them were so childish that they were still bickering at this time.
The guard received the order and took ten small black balls to Lu's County to exchange for a rooster.
This was the first time that the Gong family had close contact with the little black ball. They were afraid that it would explode in the county town. A group of people surrounded it but did not dare to go forward. They hurriedly grabbed the guards and asked them how to preserve it and what precautions they should take.
The guard answered honestly and rushed back to Fufeng County with the rooster.
Fortunately, we had horses, otherwise, traveling back and forth between the three counties would have taken more than ten days if we were slower.
After all the materials were collected, Doctor Xu officially began to treat Wei Ji's broken leg.
Wei Xiyin knew that the wound was seriously infected, so she and her mother cleaned up a room and swept it inside and out more than ten times. She also asked Zhao Junshou for some alcohol to wipe the bed and furniture.
Doctor Xu came over and took a look, his expression a little strange, but he said nothing.
Wei Jie was wheeled in by the guards and comforted them with a smile, "Mother and sister should be happy, there's no need to worry."
Yu nodded randomly, "Da Lang is right." But her hands were so nervous that she didn't know where to put them.
Wei Jie was helpless, "Sister, take mother out and wait, there's no need to wait here."
Wei Xiyin agreed.
She initially wanted to get some anesthetic, but Doctor Xu said it was not necessary.
