Now the national treasury is empty and the people are living in poverty. The eldest prince himself doesn't know when he can let the people live and work in peace.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to make arrangements for the refugees who come to Yunzhou first, so that they have a place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear when it gets cold.
It seemed like a simple task, but the eldest prince knew that it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to accomplish it.
Not to mention the enemy troops lurking on the border. Forget it, don't overthink it. Let's just get through this winter peacefully first.
The eldest prince sighed deeply, then called on the military advisor to continue discussing military affairs.
The only ones who didn't feel this tense atmosphere were probably the Yun brothers and sisters who were climbing the mountain.
This doesn’t seem to be right. Yun Yiyi did feel the calm before the storm.
However, she didn't react at all and was extremely calm.
"Yiyi, have you thought about where we should go to dig wild vegetables this afternoon?"
Hearing Brother Yun's voice, Yun Yiyi immediately responded, "Brother, just follow me for a walk this afternoon."
"Let's go wherever we go and pick up any wild vegetables we come across."
"Yiyi, we've been up the mountain together for so long, and this is the first time I've heard you answer so casually."
Third Brother Yun shouted with an exaggerated expression.
"Third brother, what's the big deal? Don't you think about how long we've been staying here?"
"We've already run through all the nearby mountains. I can't even imagine where else we haven't been."
"Third Brother, Yiyi is right. We have indeed been staying outside of Shilin Town for a long time."
"Okay, stop talking. Yiyi leads the way, she has the final say. We just need to follow her."
As soon as Big Brother Yun finished speaking, Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun immediately quieted down.
Yun Yiyi was walking in front, and she suddenly thought of a place where she first discovered peaches.
She thought that if she continued walking forward, she might gain something.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.
After walking for more than an hour, she led everyone to the peach tree.
"Brother, isn't this the peach tree we picked last time?"
"Yes, that's right. It's the peach tree."
"Brother, we haven't been south of this direction yet. Let's keep going forward and see."
Brother Yun looked up at the forest ahead and said, "Okay, Yiyi, you lead the way."
Yun Yiyi carried the stick and continued walking forward. The further she walked, the deeper she entered the woods.
"Yiyi, it's not easy to find food in the woods, right?"
Third Brother Yun looked around and asked questions.
"Third brother, that's not true. You can find food in the woods. It's just not easy to find."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, please continue to follow me."
"Yiyi, I feel like we've been walking in the woods for almost half an hour, right?"
"Second brother, please remove the bar. It has indeed been half an hour."
Yun Yiyi looked up to the right and saw the woods going up, which seemed to have no end in sight, so she gave up decisively.
She looked ahead and it seemed that if she walked a little further, the trees would become sparser.
Because she saw a large patch of light in the distance, in an open space among the trees.
"Come on, brothers, let's walk a little longer and then we can take a break."
Yun Yiyi sped up and encouraged everyone.
"Oh, Yiyi, how long will it take? My legs are no longer my legs."
Brother Yun San complained as he walked.
"Third brother, it's almost there, believe me."
"Okay, I'll believe you this time." Third Brother Yun's voice began to become weak.
"Third brother, talk less. Hurry up and catch up." Brother Yun scolded unhappily.
"Got it, big brother."
Yun Yiyi, who was walking in the front, was actually already tired. However, she didn't plan to go digging wild vegetables directly in the afternoon.
Of course, if we can’t find anything else to eat, we will still end up digging wild vegetables. After all, we can’t go back empty-handed.
Although the road seemed not far, Yun Yiyi and the others still walked for more than half an hour before they arrived.
"Brother, the trees in this place are relatively sparse. Let's take a rest here first."
"Okay, let's all sit down and rest for a while."
As soon as Brother Yun finished speaking, everyone sat down against the big tree.
After a few minutes, Yun Yiyi stood up and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, please wait here for a while. I'll take a look around."
"Okay, go ahead." Brother Yun waved his hand.
Yun Yiyi carried the stick and planned to walk around the area.
After walking for about ten minutes, Yun Yiyi found herself in a dense forest again. So, she decisively turned back.
She walked down for a few minutes and found that where the sun shone, there were some edible wild vegetables, such as wild garlic, shepherd's purse, bitter butterfly, and gray grass, all of which were quite abundant.
So she turned around and walked back to Brother Yun.
"Brother, I just took a look. You guys should start by digging up some wild vegetables in the open space around here. There are a lot of them, like wild radish, wild onion, and wild garlic."
"I think it'll be enough for you to dig for a while. I'm going to walk up along the clearing. If I don't find anything, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, Yiyi, go ahead. But don't go too far and come back early."
"Got it, big brother."
Yun Yiyi climbed up the mountain along the gaps in the woods.
She looked up at the sun and continued climbing. There was no other way, the sun was only hot at noon, but it was already very cold in the morning and evening.
We must cherish the warm sunshine now, Yun Yiyi persuaded herself while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
She held on to the stick in her hand and climbed up the small hill in front.
There are few trees on the hillside, only weeds and large thorn bushes.
Yun Yiyi finally found a clean stone and sat down.
People who are not physically fit really can’t run up the mountain.
Yun Yiyi looked at the mountains and trees in front of her, feeling a surge of emotion.
Suddenly, she turned her head to the thorn bush not far away. She seemed to have just seen some fruit growing on it.
Looking closely, the thorn bush did indeed bear brown fruits, which were small, about the size of large peanuts.
It's a bit strange. I've never heard of any plant that can produce brown fruits.
Yun Yiyi muttered to herself as she walked to the front of the thorn bush and stared at the brown fruits.
Unable to remember what kind of fruit it was, Yun Yiyi simply pulled up a branch full of fruit.
She found that most of the leaves on the branches had fallen off.
