Chapter 258: Let all the people have enough food
She was transferred several times before finally ending up in the dungeon of the Zhao Mansion. Even though she lived there, living a life worse than that of an animal, she never had a single meal...
What a poor kid!
Wu Lanzhi knew her background and looked at her with eyes full of pity.
So she was so excited when she heard that all the people could have enough food to eat.
Bai Li gave her an affirmative look and said, "As long as they all listen to me, the harvest in autumn will be no less than that in summer."
Old Man Sun immediately patted his chest and promised, "As long as the princess orders, I will do it strictly according to your instructions."
"The land is too dry. It needs to be irrigated in time. Fertilizer can only be applied after half a month..."
"The rice fields must be water-rich, reaching the roots... Watch out for insect pests, especially locusts and borers..."
Bai Li spoke in great detail, and Old Man Sun listened attentively. There was also a clerk beside him taking notes with a pen and paper.
This was arranged by Xiangyang in Donghu County to learn the planting technology of Baili and provide him with timely feedback, which he would then promote nationwide.
Xuan Yuhao searched all the way here, and when he arrived in Donghu County, he saw people squatting in the fields with farmers, weeding and tending to the crops.
He had seen her galloping freely and unrestrainedly, and he had also seen her picking flowers with her head down, her face full of intoxication and a poetic look. Now he saw her approachable and hardworking side. The little bit of mud on her face made her look so cute and approachable.
A string in Xuan Yuhao's heart was plucked, and an impulse rushed to his head.
After a long time, he concealed the determination in his eyes and swore secretly in his heart: He must marry Bai Li!
When Bai Li looked up, she seemed to see a familiar figure turning and leaving. She wiped the sweat from her face, shook her head, and lowered her head to explain to everyone.
Bai Li would stay in Donghu County for more than ten days. She also had a large courtyard with three entrances and exits there. Sometimes she would stay there if she was late and couldn't make it back. Wu Lanzhi, Gao Dani and dozens of personal soldiers would be with her.
The 500 cavalrymen from before have now become her personal soldiers, and each of them is willing to stay with her at all costs.
Bai Li was also helpless. If they returned to the barracks, they could still move up in career, and their military ranks and salaries would increase.
But if they stayed with her, they could only be guards and errand boys, with no future at all.
They all said that they didn't care. They were all soldiers brought by the princess. If they didn't stay with the princess to protect her, they might as well go home and farm.
In the end, Bai Li had no choice but to let them do what they wanted.
Of the five hundred personal soldiers, fifty were left at the Princess's Mansion to guard it, and fifty were taken to the Marquis's Mansion (the original General Bai's Mansion was renamed the Marquis Wu Mansion).
Fifty female soldiers followed Bai Li, but Nangong Min was still worried, so he asked her to hand over the remaining four hundred people to him and train them as secret guards to protect her secretly.
Bai Li said that it was not necessary, but Nangong Min couldn't help but bring up the emperor.
"It's the Emperor's request. They must protect your safety. If even a hair is missing, they will be held responsible."
Bai Li fell silent upon hearing this. Although she felt that the emperor was making a fuss out of nothing, it was better not to disobey the emperor's decision.
Bai Zongren returned to Beijing and brought King Kong and Black Hawk with him.
After those ape soldiers entered the military camp, they began to slowly lose weight, become listless, and eventually died.
It was no use inviting a veterinarian. Later, a message came from the palace saying that according to Zhao Defu's confession, those ape soldiers had been controlled by the witch doctor by feeding them medicine, and now they would naturally die without the medicine.
Bai Zongren thought about it and decided that this was a good thing. These non-human, non-weird creatures shouldn't exist in this world. Once they died, there would be no need to worry about them being exploited by bad people.
On the day they returned to Beijing, all the ape soldiers were dead, and they took King Kong back to Beijing with them.
Bai Li was thinking in his heart that since there was a new King Kong in the space, he should go in and turn over a few more plots of land when he has time and let the golden retriever lead it in planting, otherwise it would be bored to death.
She felt relieved when she saw the crops in the fields growing vigorously. She wrote a manual on fattening management and young seedling management for Xiangyang and returned to the capital.
From afar, I saw two white jade lions at the gate of the mansion. The three large black gold characters "Wu Hou Mansion" on the gate were shining brightly under the sunlight, which made me feel extremely cordial.
These three words were written by the emperor himself, and after being framed, Eunuch Li handed them to Bai Zongren personally.
"I don't plan to go out in the short term after coming back this time. Look at my skin, it's gotten quite tanned."
Although Bai Li is carefree, loving beauty is a woman's nature, and she is no exception.
"How could that be? The princess' skin is naturally fair and rosy, unlike mine, which is now completely black!"
Gao Dani felt embarrassed as she spoke.
"You've gotten a lot darker. You need to use more face cream!"
By the way, the princess’s face cream is really good, especially the moisturizing one. My face will be moisturized all day long without feeling dry at all.
Wu Lanzhi touched her face. Fortunately, although it was a few shades darker, it was still smooth, unlike Gao Dani's which was dark and rough.
She also has the princess's things, but she has never used them, right?
The topics women talk about together are all about appearance and food, and the same goes for female soldiers.
When they take off their military uniforms, they are all women, it's their nature.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a few bottles of whitening cream later, and I guarantee you'll all be as fair and tender as fairies!"
Bai Li chatted and laughed with them until they reached the gate of the mansion. Just as he was about to dismount, he suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot I promised to bring a bottle of medicinal wine for Uncle Gao to rub his injured feet. Otherwise, his feet will hurt terribly when the wind blows."
Bai Li prepared the medicinal wine according to a prescription she had accidentally obtained in the end times. She had collected all the medicinal materials in the mountains of Donghu County and soaked them. The time was just right and it was ready to use, so she took it back.
"Princess, let me take it there. You don't have to make the trip!"
Wu Lanzhi stopped her and said that they were the ones who were responsible for running errands, and Bai Li just needed to give orders.
"No, I have to teach him how to massage the acupoints and add medicinal wine to achieve the best effect."
Wu Lanzhi didn't know what to say, but she insisted on going with him.
"No need, I'll be back in just a cup of tea.
We are already at the doorstep, please go in first!"
After Bai Li finished speaking, he turned his horse and headed towards the Princess's Mansion.
Seeing this, Wu Lanzhi had no choice but to bring people into the mansion.
After walking for a while, Bai Li arrived at a small alley that was a little off the beaten track.
If you walk through here, you will reach the Princess Mansion in just a few minutes, which is half the distance compared to walking on the main street.
There are high walls on both sides of the alley, making it look dark and deep.
Therefore, there are very few people walking around here.
The "clattering" sound of horse hooves stepping on the bluestone ground seemed empty and loud, countless times louder than before.
Bai Li suddenly felt a little uneasy and just wanted to get through quickly.
Suddenly, a huge net fell from the sky above her head. In a flash, she wanted to get off the horse, but the horse lowered its front hoof and she fell off the horse's back without warning!
