The hall of government office.
The officials were still happy about the bumper harvest of vegetables and discussed harvesting this batch of vegetables and quickly planting the next one.
There was no snow in winter and the ground was not frozen.
The land was cultivated years ago and rice can be planted after the beginning of spring.
Wei Wenshan was given a basket of vegetables yesterday and tasted some of them.
At this point, we are looking forward to planting rice and wheat as soon as possible.
“The rice and wheat sent by the gods are said to be cold-resistant and drought-resistant.
This is the first time I've heard that people can start farming in the north as soon as the beginning of spring. ”
Among the people present, Qian Wuyou was the happiest.
He smiled and said, "If Zhiyi City can grow fine grains, we should cultivate and preserve more of them in the future, and then order the officials to promote them with all their strength.
...
...
From now on, all countries will probably come to ask for advice. ”
Qian Wuyou did some calculations. If they could really produce high yields and large quantities of grain, the Dajing Dynasty would have sufficient grain reserves, and would be able to save itself if it encountered a natural disaster again in the future.
If there is excess production, the old grain can be sold to neighboring countries, and the money can be used to station and train troops.
This will not only increase trade between the two countries, but also allow other countries to see the prosperity of Dajing Dynasty, so that they will not dare to act rashly in front of Dajing Dynasty.
Everyone was chatting animatedly, and Zheng Shuyu was holding a notebook and drawing on it.
He smiled and put the notebook away, then suddenly realized that the prince had not arrived yet.
Zheng Shuyu frowned, "Where is His Highness? You summoned us to wait here. When do you mean?"
This statement attracted everyone's attention.
Suddenly, the hall of the government office began to quiet down.
Qian Wuyou also said: "It's strange that the two generals are not here either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Wenshan said, "Here he comes, His Highness!"
Xiao Jingzhou walked into the hall and sat in the first seat.
After everyone saluted him, he nodded to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took out a letter and read it in the hall.
After hearing the contents of the letter, the smiles on the faces of the people present disappeared completely.
All that's left is a look of worry and sadness.
"The original situation is more serious than we thought. What can we do?"
“Back then, Zhiyi City was protected by gods, which not only solved the problems of water, food, and plague, but also the people’s livelihood issues.
What is more important is to have buffer time. ”
"Now, some of the people are fleeing famine, and some are starving to death.
We have just driven away Beiliang and Chibei, but now Western Jin wants to form an alliance with Beiliang to attack Yuanfeng together. ”
When Qi Hou learned about this, he was so angry that his fists clenched.
He said angrily: "Beiliang is a troublemaker, he is involved in everything."
Yang Jin rarely calmed down. He sighed, "Beiliang is the leader of the seven kingdoms. If such a big country tries to win over the ruler of Western Jin, he will definitely be tempted."
Gu Zhenbei: "That's right. The Western Jin Dynasty was rich in cattle and sheep, and the snow disasters in the past two years also gave the ruler of the Western Jin Dynasty a headache.
If Beiliang tempted Western Jin with the territory of Dajing, there would be no need for persuasion, and the Western Jin would take the bait with just a little beckoning. ”
Qian Wuyou was just thinking about offering some advice, but the letter made him sober up a lot.
He even felt scared.
Because of its vast territory, the Dajing Dynasty attracted the covetous eyes of many countries.
If the rice is plentiful, it is like delicious venison.
By then, I am afraid that all countries will turn into hyenas, always ready to attack in groups, waiting for an opportunity to snatch a piece of meat and swallow it.
Gu Zhenbei stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, I am willing to lead the troops to Yuanfeng.
Give General Shen a helping hand and protect the safety of our Dajing border. ”
Everyone thought the proposal was a good one. With Shen Zheng in charge and General Zhenbei coming to help, they also had weapons bestowed by the gods.
What do Northern Liang and Western Jin have to fear?
Yang Jin said: “Although General Shen did not expressly state it in his letter, he probably thought so in his heart.
General Gu and Xiahou Dun continued to fight, so General Gu led his troops to suppress Xiahou Dun.
General Shen could also take action to confront the Western Jin Dynasty. ”
Xiao Jingzhou's eyes were dark. When he saw Shen Zheng's letter, the line of words he saw in the study of the villa emerged in his mind.
Now, less than two years have passed since 40 years ago, and the Western Jin Dynasty has actually begun to form an alliance with the Northern Liang.
Who knows if there will ever be a Six-Nation Alliance?
Xiao Jingzhou said in a deep voice: "I will go to Yuanfeng in person."
"The emperor leads the army in person."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jin's face turned pale.
"Your Highness, no!"
Wei Wenshan and Qian Wuyou looked at each other, but Zheng Shuyu was a little confused.
Zheng Shuyu was puzzled: "Isn't it a good thing for the emperor to lead the army in person and boost morale?
Your Highness is protected by the gods. When the time comes, using some magical weapons will be a thousand times more powerful than fighting with real swords and guns, right? ”
The troops in Zhiyi City and Yuanfeng are few in number. If they fight with real swords and guns, no telling how many soldiers will die.
Zheng Shuyu only wanted to build water conservancy projects to benefit the people of Dajing Dynasty, rather than seeing a river of blood.
Yang Jin was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. His face turned blue and white, and then red after a long time. He looked like he was going to get cold.
Qi Hou tugged at Yang Jin's clothes and whispered, "Isn't it good for you to go? Lord Zheng is right. I think it's a good idea, right?"
Yang Jin forcefully brushed Qi Hou's hand away and glared at him angrily: "Idiot, you are so stupid!"
After saying that, Yang Jin knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, you really can't do that!"
Xiao Jingzhou thought of something, but did not want to dismiss everyone.
He said, "I know what you want to say. Send someone to get the things."
"Your Highness!" Yang Jin said anxiously.
Xiao Jingzhou waved his hand and let Yang Jin go out.
Yang Jin was dejected, but he had to do it. He never thought that the way home would be so heavy.
Not long after Yang Jin left the government office, Doctor Yan sent someone to tell him.
"Your Highness, the messenger sent by Yuanfeng has woken up."
Xiao Jingzhou asked all the officials to wait in the hall and took Gu Zhenbei to the backyard.
Several people came to the room in the side yard and pushed the door open.
The room was dark, and a man was lying on the bed.
Lu Chen walked over and smelled the odor, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
He reminded: "Your Highness."
Xiao Jingzhou pretended not to hear and continued to move closer to the bed curtain.
The person on the bed, seeing Xiao Jingzhou's face, insisted on getting up and getting out of bed despite feeling weak all over.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Do you recognize me?"
The man was skinny and his face looked unrecognizable.
He said in a hoarse voice: "I am General Shen's nephew, Shen Lan."
"Three years ago, I hunted a black bear in the mountains.
Your Majesty has rewarded me with gold, silver and treasures, and Your Highness has bestowed upon me a bow, allowing me to achieve great things.
I wonder if Your Highness still remembers it? ”
Xiao Jingzhou frowned: "Shen Wenshao?"
Shen Lan pulled the corner of his mouth and looked up at Xiao Jingzhou: "I have fulfilled my mission. In three years, I have become a fourth-rank Lieutenant General."
Chen Lan was once famous in the capital for her beauty and talent. Who among the girls from a noble family wouldn't want to marry her?
What's more, Shen Lan is the only son of the second branch of the Shen family, the only daughter of the first branch Shen Zheng, and also the emperor's concubine.
In other words, everything in the Shen family from now on will be inherited by Shen Lan alone.
Although the first and second wives were separated, they were like a family, working together and supporting each other, which was a good story in Beijing.
If one could marry into such a family, it would be considered a blessing earned in the previous life.
But Chen Lan seemed to be possessed, and was obsessed with rushing to the border to fight.
The famous ladies in Beijing are all pampered daughters of their families. Why would they go to the frontier to suffer?
The person named Chen Lan was gradually forgotten.
Lu Chen and Gu Zhenbei were also stunned. If Chen Lan hadn't introduced himself, no one would have been able to equate the handsome Chen Lan with the person in front of them.
Xiao Jingzhou saw his embarrassment and said, "Don't worry, come back when you are ready."
