Chapter 168 The Secret of Li Rong and Liu Mingjie
Before the registration was finished, Cui Yu came over and shouted, "The exiled prisoner Xie Yanyan is here to see you, the warlord."
Xie Anfeng wanted to go together, and Cui Yu didn't stop him. Let's go together.
Zhao Yining looked at the girl at the center of the competition. She was just a child. Although her face was stern, she still looked childish.
"Thank you Yanyan, Lord Li has already told this general about your abilities. It is a pity to be exiled because of this. This general will make the best use of your talents. You can rest assured here."
Xie Yanyan: "Thank you, sir."
Seeing that General Zhao did not mention kneeling, Cheng Yuguang pretended to be confused.
Cui Yu reminded: "Xie Yanyan, you should kneel down when you see the governor."
Zhao Yining shook his hand and said with a smile: "Xie Yanyan has the tokens of Emperor Xuanwen and the Crown Prince in his hands, so he won't kneel when he sees an official."
Cui Yu was shocked and confused. What was Emperor Xuanwen doing? He exiled people and gave them a token to avoid kneeling?
"Xie Yanyan, you invented the curved plow and can treat colds and fevers. You are a great talent! This general does not want to bury you."
"You will be my general's military supervisor from now on. You will be in charge of the military farmland in Boluo County, and you will be in charge of the cold and fever diseases. There are doctors in the army, so you can give them instructions."
Governor Zhao was less than 30 years old. He was not tall but well-proportioned, with dark skin. When he smiled, only his white teeth could be seen.
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Nanzhong Palace. Since you have come to my Governor's Mansion, you are a member of the Governor's Mansion. No one can take you away without your consent."
"Where are my family members?"
"You will all stay at the military governor's office. Your father and elder brother are both military commanders, so they will work in the military camp. If there is an enemy, they will fight against it. If there is no enemy, they will farm with you. How do you think?"
Xie Yanyan nodded, this is good.
Governor Zhao acted quickly and immediately asked Cui Yu to arrange a courtyard for them at the military farm in Boluo County, with five rooms in the main house and three rooms in the east and west.
The farm is divided into two parts, east and west, with a road in the middle. The east side of the road is where civilians live, and the west side is where the convicts gather.
Xie Yanyan's yard is on the west side of the road, making it very convenient for travel.
Xu Wenrong and Miao Guang were arranged to live separately on the east side of the road, in two bungalows, across the road, so they were considered neighbors next door.
General Zhao was the governor of a county. Every county had a camp, which served as soldiers during war and civilians after the war, so the camps were all fixed bunk houses. Those with families brought their families with them, and those without families lived in large bunk beds, which were collective dormitories.
Xie Yanyan's family lives in an independent simple courtyard with a fence wall.
Zhang Hengliang had all the prisoners assigned to different places. Su Moqing, Tang Zhan, Xie Huan, and Xie Tingting begged Zhang Hengliang to keep them with Xie Yanyan, as they did not want to be separated from her.
Xie Qingmu and Fang were both assigned to other places.
Zhang Hengliang asked Xie Huan what he was good at?
Xie Huan said: "I will do whatever the Third Miss tells me to do."
Tiffany Hsieh: "I can sew, make soap boxes, and I can catch fish!"
Zhang Hengliang shook his head. What kind of special skill is this?
He asked Xie Yanyan if he needed these people to help him?
Xie Tingting was afraid that Xie Yanyan would kick her out, so she begged Xie Yanyan: "Sister Yanyan, please keep me. I promise to be self-reliant and will not hold you back."
Xie Yanyan said to Zhang Hengliang, "Stay."
Xie Huan, Aunt Xue, and Xie Tingting all lived on the west side of the farm road.
Arrange Su Moqing's family and Tang Zhan's family to live next door to Xie Yanyan, and let them reclaim the wasteland together with Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan calmed down, and Li Rong and Liu Mingjie were very pleased and breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Xie, we say goodbye today and I don't know when we will meet again. I hope that you and Miss Xie will be successful and return to your hometown soon." Li Rong said sincerely.
Liu Mingjie also said seriously: "If I can't make it in Kyoto, I will bring my family to seek refuge with Miss Xie."
Xie Yanyan asked, "Master Li, Master Liu, were you transferred to Lingnan on purpose?"
Liu Mingjie smiled and praised, "Miss Xie can't hide anything. When I came, Dong Shisan greeted me and said that General Xie and Young General Xie were both rare and good generals, but it was a pity that they were implicated by Xie Jinrong. If I can take care of them, I will."
In other words, Liu Mingjie is the prince's man.
Li Rong smiled and said nothing.
After Liu Mingjie left, Li Rong told the truth.
"Originally, this exile team was led by another captain named Qi. The night before the Marquis's mansion was suddenly confiscated and exiled, Zhou Jin found me and asked me to switch with Qi Weimin no matter what."
Zhou Jin asked him to come, which was Zhou Shaoyu's intention!
No wonder Li Rong and Liu Mingjie worked together to take such good care of them.
No wonder even though she revealed so many of her talents, she was not maliciously plundered by them.
Xie Yanyan recalled that during Xie Xiangxiang’s psychological activities at Yangjiazhuang in Langming Mountain, [the team leader’s surname was Qi, he was killed, Xie Anfeng was also killed, Tingting and Third Aunt were abducted], she mentioned that the team leader’s surname in the previous life was Qi, and it seemed to be this Qi Weimin.
Thinking of Zhou Shaoyu, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
He and the prince are probably the same, both coming for Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning, right?
But later on, the two of them became involved in so many things.
The current exile will generally be pardoned after a few years. If you can survive, there is still a chance to turn things around.
Who wouldn't want to win over the two military generals Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning?
When saying goodbye to Li Rong and Liu Mingjie, everyone felt very reluctant to leave.
Finally settled down, Xie Anfeng gathered the whole family together and held a family meeting behind closed doors.
Xie Anfeng made new arrangements for family affairs: until they have established themselves and have freedom, the whole family must keep a low profile.
I won't be making soap for the time being.
Xie Yanyan was also advised not to use the precious colored glass items on hand, and the toy marbles were not to be exposed.
To treat malaria, Miao Guang tried his best to take people to the mountains to dig Artemisia annua.
Discuss with Governor Zhao and decide to contract or reclaim the land alone. Even if it means handing over more grain, Song Lingling, Xiao Nannan, Xiao Baozi and Xie Lingyu must be protected.
After the family meeting, Xie Yanyan and Xie Anfeng went to see Governor Zhao to discuss leasing the land.
Governor Zhao was very straightforward and encouraged people to lease land and reclaim wasteland.
There is no limit on the amount of land contracted, but the minimum amount of grain to be handed in is 16 dan. If the land contracted is more than 10 mu, an additional half dan per mu is required.
Zhang Hengliang smiled and said, "You can choose any land for the army to reclaim. If you want to reclaim wasteland, just pay some grain as a token of your appreciation."
16 shi of grain must be handed in. If there is more than the rest, a commission will be paid.
Xie Yanyan said: "If we don't grow rice, beans and the like, how can we turn in other crops?"
Zhang Hengliang smiled and said, "What else can you grow? No matter what you grow, just hand it in according to this amount."
According to the current crop yields, after two seasons of hard work, 10 acres of land, two seasons a year, in the end there are only 360 kilograms of grain left. 8 people eat 360 kilograms, which is less than 1 kilogram of grain per day.
But Xie Yanyan didn't care and said, "Sign."
After leasing the land, she had freedom of movement. She could just plant some sweet potato seedlings in her space. One acre of land could produce several thousand kilograms, and the amount of grain she handed over was just a fraction of it.
Xie Anfeng pressed his fingerprints.
After signing the contract, the father and daughter left the Governor's Office. A horse-drawn carriage with the logo of the Nanzhong Palace blocked their way with a "bang".
