375 Secret Method, Creating Miracles

Maintaining an army is an extremely expensive thing. Su Wenqing believes that he is good at making money. Looking across the Kyushu Continent, apart from the Shang Yun family, which is number one in the world, he is the best at making money and the one who can make the most money.

Every year, the Su family's income is higher than those of the aristocratic families, but no matter how rich he is, he cannot support an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions. The food he saves in a year is only enough for those people to eat for one day.

The most important thing is that all the grain in Kyushu Continent is controlled by the national treasury, the nine cities and the aristocratic families. It is extremely difficult to hoard grain. The people do not have enough to eat, so where can they buy grain? Sometimes, grain cannot be bought even if you have money.

"The food issue must be resolved. We can't let the soldiers go hungry at any cost. By the way, how are they doing with the new fields they have reclaimed?" Yuwen Yuanhua accepted Feng Qingchen's suggestion and ordered his soldiers to farm in batches. However, there would be no harvest in a short period of time, and even if they did, that little bit of food would be a drop in the bucket.

"Not very good. Newly reclaimed land is not fertile and the harvest is only half of that of good land. There won't be much effect in three to five years, and we have limited resources and seeds."

Eating was a difficult thing. After Yuwen Yuanhua was stationed in Beiling, he also competed with the people of Beiling for food. He sent soldiers to the deep mountains of Beiling to hunt when he had nothing to do. In name, he was training troops and patrolling the border, but in fact, he was short of food and had to rob.

"How many people will be fed for how long?" The emperor does not want hungry soldiers. If he cannot even provide food, how can those soldiers obey his orders and work for him?

The troops under Yuwen Yuanhua's command were the most powerful force under his command. He had been planning bit by bit over the years, but he was unable to gather enough troops. He would not give up the troops under Yuwen Yuanhua's command no matter what.

"Enough for 500,000 people to feed for half a year." The amount of food Su Wenqing had was already a lot, at least not less than the national treasury, but they had to feed so many people.

"Half a year, that is to say, by the beginning of spring, we will have no food." The pressure in Lan Jiuqing's heart can be imagined. Five hundred thousand mouths, that is not a problem that can be solved by one or two trucks of food.

Spring is for planting and autumn is for harvesting. The beginning of spring is when the whole country is short of food. It would be even more difficult to raise food at that time.

"We can only hold out until early spring at best. If we can find the map of Kyushu and get the treasures of the previous dynasty, we won't have to worry about food." Su Wenqing learned from Lan Jiuqing that the previous dynasty had stored a large amount of food, which was preserved using special methods and would not go moldy for a hundred years.

If they could get the treasures of the previous dynasty, they wouldn't have to be so vengeful.

"There are still eight pieces. Whether they can be gathered within half a year is a big question. You should go find Feng Qingchen tomorrow and take on the task of rebuilding Feng Mansion for her. By the way, tell her about the shortage of food. Given her concern for Yuwen Yuanhua, maybe she can come up with some solutions." Lan Jiuqing has always known that Feng Qingchen is a person with secrets. In addition to the secret of Feng Li, Feng Qingchen has another secret that he has not discovered yet.

"You mean, Feng Qingchen can do something?" It's not that Su Wenqing looked down on Feng Qingchen, it's really...

How could Feng Qingchen, a weak woman, understand all this? Sending Yuwen Yuanhua to them was also Yuwen Yuanhua's calculation, and had nothing to do with Feng Qingchen herself. Even if she suggested that soldiers should open up the wasteland, it was just a small matter.

Lan Jiuqing didn't say it so confidently, he just said: "It's always good to give it a try. Feng Qingchen can always do things we can't imagine. She is good at creating miracles. We can't think of a better way now, why not get some information from her."

"Okay, I'll try tomorrow." Su Wenqing didn't hold much hope, but he understood Lan Jiuqing's approach. The more useful Feng Qingchen was to them, the higher her position would be in the future.

He finally understood Jiuqing's intentions towards Feng Qingchen. Fortunately, he had long since given up his thoughts on Feng Qingchen and the idea of ​​killing Feng Qingchen, otherwise Jiuqing would never let him go.

Next, Lan Jiuqing analyzed with Su Wenqing which places in Feng Mansion might have maps. Lan Jiuqing also explained some arrangements and adjustments for the Nine Cities. At dawn, Lan Jiuqing got up and went back. He did not say a word to Bu Jingyun from beginning to end.

Bu Jingyun was very nervous. He wanted to apologize but couldn't get in. Lan Jiuqing simply ignored him. What's more, he hoped Lan Jiuqing could take some time to visit Baoer, who had been waiting for him all day.

After finally seeing Jiuqing and Su Wenqing finish their conversation, Bu Jingyun hurried forward, but before he could open his mouth, Lan Jiuqing walked out.

"Jiuqing, wait a minute, I have something else to tell you..." Seeing Lan Jiuqing was about to leave, Bu Jingyun became anxious and immediately stepped forward to stand in front of Lan Jiuqing.

Lan Jiuqing stopped and glanced at Bu Jingyun coldly. His eyes were like cold stars, without a trace of emotion. Bu Jingyun was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, waiting for Lan Jiuqing to beat and scold him. However, Lan Jiuqing had no intention of beating or scolding him at all. He just used his scabbard to push him away and continued to walk out.

Ignore, this is a complete disregard!

When Bu Jingyun came to his senses, Lan Jiuqing was nowhere to be seen.

"Wenqing, what do you think Jiuqing means by this? Is he blaming me, or not blaming me?" Bu Jingyun was panicked by Lan Jiuqing's behavior. He had failed in missions before, and at that time, Jiuqing would usually beat him up or scold him after cleaning up the mess for him, but today...

He really hoped that Jiuqing would beat him up and leave him here. He felt uneasy!

"Brother, take care of yourself." Su Wenqing patted Bu Jingyun's shoulder with sympathy on his face.

Sometimes, not being punished for a mistake can be the most severe punishment. He could imagine how hard Bu Jingyun's life would be in the coming days.

The next day, just as Sun Zhengdao said, Feng Qingchen woke up, looking energetic and not showing any sign of injury at all. She knew how badly she had been injured. With so many injuries, it would take a month or two to heal even in modern times. But under Sun Zhengdao's skillful hands, she was healed in just one day.

This is simply a miracle. Feng Qingchen really couldn't believe it. This was true, but Sun Sixing confirmed it again and again, so she had no choice but to admit it.

"I really am looking at the world from a narrow perspective. Compared with Sun Zhengdao, my medical skills are not good enough. No wonder the emperor values ​​him so much." Showing off her medical skills in front of Sun Zhengdao was purely a case of showing off one's proficiency in front of an expert. Judging from the recovery of her injuries, Sun Zhengdao knew much more than her.

However, Feng Qingchen was very curious about how Sun Zhengdao could recover from her injuries in such a short time.

Is Chinese medicine so magical? She has never heard of it in modern times. Is it some secret method?

Feng Qingchen knew that there were many ancient and mysterious things in China, just like the Miao medicine and Miao Gu in modern times, and some Taoist descendants, who all had one or two unique skills. She had seen the descendants of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain.

To be on the safe side, Feng Qingchen activated the smart medical kit and gave himself a full body check. He found that his body was actually better than before. All the injuries he had sustained were healed, his body returned to its best condition, and his hands were much more flexible than before.

This is a miracle!
