Chapter 39: Fellow Countrymen Suffering



"Qingdong City is not my fiefdom. I was demoted here and my fiefdom is here."

Zheng Yeheng gestured with his hand at the map of Yunze Country outside Qingdong City and looked at Wang Yi.

"Only by occupying the former Yunze Kingdom's territory can I obtain a fiefdom. And southeast of Jing Kingdom, this summer's floods have severely affected many areas. Only by establishing a foothold outside can I establish a prefecture and a city. However, the chaos caused by the fighting between the disaster victims and the rebels makes it impossible for me to start."

"This was our first contact with the Baiqing Chamber of Commerce, but we were disrupted by the rebel army. Furthermore, our subordinates were corrupt and perverted the law, so we only had 50% of our military rations left."

"But, after all, I have regular troops, and I can also mobilize the Qingdong City defense forces. It won't be difficult to take over the city here."

His eyes were full of enthusiasm as he pointed to a vacant plot of land between Yeyupo and Qingdong City. "This whole area can be given to you. As long as you're willing to stay and cultivate the land, build a house, and establish a city, it will all be thanks to your sons' contributions. It wouldn't be difficult to even ask for them to be made city lords."

Wang Yi: “…”

Hey, didn't you agree to let me go? Why are you going back on your word before I even leave?

Not only did you drag me into the study alone, but your wife's eyes were almost blinded. Can't she see?

She has always kept a proper distance from married gay men, but she has never been able to control those gay men from serving her tea and water and showing her courtesy, so every time she sees her colleague's wife, she stays away from them, feeling that she owes them something.

But she really has never had a boyfriend! She has never been a mistress! She hates being misunderstood.

Therefore, it is most suitable for single young people. One every three months, only a few thousand yuan per month, and it is also good value for money and can be replaced frequently.

Looking at Wang Yi's angry face, Zheng Yeheng felt a little nervous.

"You can have absolute freedom in this territory. I can allocate a hundred acres of fertile land to you. I can help you with both farmsteads and serfs. Well, I'm not sure if the fever has subsided yet. I hope to have a good doctor to help me when the poison strikes."

“You can become the biggest landlord here.”

Zheng Yeheng felt a little disappointed when he saw that Wang Yi was still not interested and didn't say a word the whole time, just staring at him with her big eyes.

He didn't know why he had already chosen to let her leave, but in the end he still pulled her in and persuaded her not to leave.

Going north, they could enter the heart of Jing State, which was indeed safe and prosperous. If she wanted to escape from the famine, this place was indeed not suitable.

But deep down, he always wanted to keep her nearby, probably because he was worried about the recurrence of the heat poison. Her fever-reducing and antidote drugs were essential medicines in the army, and they would be lost once she left.

That Doctor Bai is no good.

But in fact, he always felt that this woman was very interesting. If he could see her every day, or every few days, it would add a lot of freshness to his life.

"Your Highness, there's no need to explain. We are just ordinary farmers. Their father has been dead for ten years. It's not easy for me to raise the children alone. I just want them to be healthy. Qingdong City is in chaos right now. I'm afraid that the rebels will occupy the village and farm as soon as I build it. It's too dangerous outside."

"I can establish a temporary military camp adjacent to your farm and purchase your farm produce at a price 30% higher than the market price to protect your safety."

Speaking of which, this point really excites Wang Yi, because she has space for breeding. If the crops she grows can be purchased at a high price by the army, they will definitely sell very well.

But she thought that in the original book, these sons had extremely bright futures, and Li Wangshi was not involved.

If I don't follow them and change their trajectory too much, what if they can't grow? Isn't that harming them?

Her sons all agreed to leave here and head north. She didn't want to change this trajectory and just wanted to listen to the advice of Li Shenggen and others and head north.

Therefore, you cannot stay because of selfish motives.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Thank you for your support and carriage, but we still have to leave. We'll see you again someday."

Wang Yi saluted and turned to leave.

Zheng Yeheng's arms dropped weakly and he sighed.

"If you figure it out, you can come find me anytime."

"Yes, my lord."

Two new carts were drawn by large horses, and a huge flatbed cart was pulled by a donkey and a mule.

When they came, they used two small wooden carts, and when they left, they used three large carts. It was so luxurious.

Wang Juanhua fondly touched the curtains, windows, and ruts of the new carriage, and even the two horses. She smiled and said to Li Shenggen, "Yuan'er's father, look, this carriage has a lid!"

"You're ignorant. Of course the carriage has a lid."

"But these are two more big animals. We'll have more to feed in the future."

"The prince gave me a handful of banknotes, enough for my expenses and to buy a house and land when I get home."

"Ah? Your Majesty is so generous?"

"Thanks to our mother, she saved the prince's life."

Wang Yi watched the child get on the bus from behind, and saw the filial piety value popping up in the system continuously.

"+1, +2, +12..."

"Total filial piety value: 54 points."

...You are bribed by such a small thing. You are really useless.

However, this new car is more comfortable than the previous wooden car.

Wang Yi was about to get in the car when he suddenly heard an angry shout from across the street.

"Hurry up! You're taking so long. When will you finish moving the wood? You're such an old man and you're still carrying wood. The boss is being kind by giving you 20 copper coins. Hurry up!"

She stood on the cart and looked across, and saw several familiar figures, guarded by a big man holding a whip, carrying logs on their backs and unloading the cart to the house across the street that was being renovated.

"Mom, why do those people look like they're from our village? They seem to be the village chief and his sons!"
