After Chu Lingqing and her entourage had gone far away, Chi Yu looked around again until the carriage was out of sight.
Once they made sure no one was around, they brought out all the trucks carrying the grain.
These handcarts were all made by Fang Yi and his colleagues during their spare time.
Now every truck is loaded with bags of grain.
There is rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes.
Of course, there was also some sorghum and millet.
There were no soybeans, but there was dried alfalfa.
It can be said that it was packed full, a total of one hundred and three cars.
Chi Yu released her third brother and sister-in-law, and then had Chen Xiaomai hold Zhuangzhuang and leave him in the car.
I followed my older sister and third brother to check all the carts again.
Only after confirming that there were no problems were Fang Yi and Fang Shi allowed to come out.
Fang Yi and his men were originally from the Fang family army, and some of them were military households who had lived here for generations.
They were originally harvesting rice and wheat with sickles in their hands, and their sudden appearance outside caught them off guard.
It's not only hot outside, but also very dry.
After they looked around, they felt that everything was very familiar.
Perhaps because they had spent so much time in that space, they understood better than anyone the difference between fish in a pond.
As soon as they came out, they didn't say a word, but stared straight at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu cleared his throat before speaking:
"Everyone, I am now the Princess of Le'an, personally appointed by the imperial court."
The potatoes and sweet potatoes you planted before were high-yield crops.
After I grew it, I presented it to the imperial court.
After learning about the food shortage in northern Xinjiang, they donated a batch of food.
There's been fighting in northern Xinjiang all the time, and I wasn't feeling too comfortable, so I went there myself.
We're about to enter the city—yes, that's right, the Qilian City where you used to live.
We have limited manpower, and these things are meant for the military camps, so we can't transport them there.
To prevent anyone from stealing it, we need you all to stay here with me and protect it.
Later, someone will come out of the city to transport it.
Of course, I hope you know what to say and what not to say.
Fang Yi is the oldest and the most composed.
As a military household member, he was loyal to the Fang family army and the imperial court.
As an employee, he was also loyal to the innocent bystander.
Since everything Chi Yu did was for the Fang family army and for the imperial court, how could they possibly refuse?
"Princess, don't worry, we know what to do."
If all else fails, let us go back when the others are almost there.
The fields are busy right now; the time we spend here could have yielded a good harvest.
Chi Yu thought about the grains in the space that urgently needed to be harvested, and nodded slightly.
"That works too. The grain should indeed be harvested. If we don't harvest it, we'll be in trouble if it rains."
"I'll let you in when someone comes over."
After saying this, Chi Yu picked up the book again and began reading to Zhuang Zhuang.
Whether the little one can speak or not, he can already talk. If he listens more, he'll surely learn a few words.
Furthermore, regarding the matter of Chi Yu bringing Chu Lingqing to the Northern Frontier, Fang Shizhong had already written a letter and sent it to Qin Mu by express courier.
Of course, when Fang Shizhong wrote the letter, it wasn't just Qin Mu who wrote it; his uncle Fang Anguo also wrote one.
After Qin Mu and Fang Anguo found out, they calculated the days and arranged for people to guard the city gate.
As soon as Chu Lingqing appeared in the distance, someone immediately went to inform them.
The two days were a truce, and Qin Mu was injured again a few days ago, this time more seriously than before.
