After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

"If that's the case, then we won't be able to keep you anymore."

Knowing what happened, Xu Gu's originally happy face could not help but sink, becoming serious and angry.

He punched the wall and gritted his teeth, "This Dongzhao country is simply too hateful!"

Their military strength is not as good as that of the Dali Dynasty, and this year they do not have the support of the Xiaoxizhou Iron Mine. They have no sharp weapons to use, and they dare to provoke them. They really have them!

"General Pei, Xiaoxi Prefecture would like to give you an extra [-] shi of iron ore to help you."

Xu Yuan and Xu You didn't know when they came out, and they sent the good news to Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Ji as soon as they came.

The iron ore of [-] shi is one-third of the amount of iron ore they exchanged for grain at the Damu Conference in the Dali Dynasty this year.

A large part of the reason why Xiao Xizhou is so generous is because Zhu Jiangjiang helped them farm the land and had a good harvest.

The three of Pei Ji turned their heads when they heard the sound.

When Zhu Jiangjiang heard that iron ore was being delivered, she accepted it without hesitation, "Your Majesty, you said this, I'm not polite!"

With more iron ore, the soldiers of the Dali Dynasty would have one more weapon.

As long as it is good for Da Li Chao and good for the border, she will accept it, and she will never refuse for the sake of a little face.

Because this is her family's confidence and guarantee.

Xu Yuan: "I will never take back my golden words."

Xu You: "General Pei, Miss Zhu, you just go first, the iron king will personally arrange for someone to send it to you, don't worry."

Xiao Xizhou's friendship made Zhu Jiangjiang's eyes red.

However, she won't cry.

"Third Prince Xu, please come back to the post house with us. Remember to bring a pen and paper. I will tell you everything about the field." Zhu Jiangjiang changed the subject and patted Xu Gu on the shoulder.

It was rare for Xu Gu to be serious, and he didn't say a word when he was squeezed out, but just nodded in response: "Okay."

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Xu's uncle and nephew followed Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Ji out of the palace without waiting for the fresh tasting meeting to end, leaving only Xu Yuan to preside over the fresh tasting meeting in the palace.

After the four left the palace, the soldiers were divided into three groups, and each made arrangements.

Zhu Jiangjiang and Xu Gu found a place in the posthouse, and they were immersed in the handover. Zhu Jiangjiang told him all the precautions for picking cotton.

And also told him how to store, transport and use the cotton after it is picked.

This night, they stayed up almost until dawn before they could finish talking about these things.

On Pei Ji's side, he was gathering hundreds of soldiers who were traveling together, and asked them to prepare things for the return trip, as well as chariots, horses, food and grass.

He was also busy all night and didn't go back until late.

Xu You went back to his palace, repaired several letters, and sent letters to various mines overnight, asking them to prepare ore.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Zhu Jiangjiang, Pei Ji, and hundreds of soldiers in the post station did not set off immediately after preparing their things, but rested for half a day.

It was near evening that they set off from the posthouse, preparing to leave Mudu.

People on the street saw a group of people wearing Dali Dynasty clothes coming out of the official posthouse. At that moment, everyone felt a little bit astonished.

In the past few months, Zhu Jiangjiang and the others stayed in Xiaoxizhou, and often went out wearing Xiaoxizhou clothes.

Seeing them wearing their own clothes now, the people of Mudu still feel that they are not used to it.

but……

"Isn't this Miss Zhu from Dali Dynasty? Are they... leaving?"

"Why is it so sudden, I didn't hear the news that Miss Zhu is leaving."

People on the street stopped one after another, watching Zhu Jiangjiang and his party slowly walking towards the outside of the city, they followed unconsciously.

What's more, he called Zhu Jiangjiang loudly, "Miss Zhu, are you leaving now?"

Sitting on the horse, Zhu Jiangjiang, who was following behind the team, nodded at the man.

Seeing this, the people on the street became anxious and quickened their pace to keep up. "Miss Zhu, why are you leaving suddenly? You haven't seen us picking cotton with your own eyes yet."

Yesterday's fresh food gathering brought many people from farms outside the city to Mudu, and none of them went back today.

So among this group of people, there are quite a few cotton households.

Zhu Jiangjiang recognized one of the cotton farmers, waved his hand and said to the man: "Master Zhuang, please be more careful about the cotton in the field, I have something to do, I have to go first, I'm sorry..."

The surrounding people caught up with them, their voices were loud, and they startled the horse.

The horse didn't listen to her orders, and ran up and down, and the speed of the whole team was also accelerating. Zhu Jiangjiang's voice became more and more round.

In the end, it directly evolved into horses running and people chasing, and the whole city became mobile.

"Blessing girl, wishing girl..."

The people behind gradually couldn't catch up, and they didn't have a chance to say what they wanted to say.

There is only one sentence: "I wish the girl, General Pei, a smooth journey..."

Outside Mudu City.

Xu You and Xu Gu's uncle and nephew had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw the yellow dust rising from the city, they knew that Zhu Jiangjiang had come out.

"Why are you in such a hurry, is there someone chasing you?"

Seeing Zhu Jiangjiang sweating profusely, Xu Gu couldn't help joking.

Zhu Jiangjiang shook his head helplessly, "Don't tell me, someone really chased us just now."

Xu Gu looked in the direction of the city suspiciously, but couldn't see anything except the yellow dust stirred up by the horse's hoof, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Jiangjiang: "No."

Xu You: "General Pei, Miss Zhu, it's getting late, be careful on the road."

They insisted on setting off in the evening, and they didn't even have time for dinner.

Xu You waved to the guards beside him, and handed them the food prepared by the cook in the mansion, "A little heart, take it with you and eat on the road."

Pei Ji took the bag and ate it warm, "Thank you Prince You for the horses and food."

Their entire team was allocated horses for this return trip, which was arranged by Xu You so that they could return to Xiaohuang Village as quickly as possible.

"Prince You and Third Prince Xu, I will rehearse a new show when I get back. You must come to Xiaohuang Village again when you have time."

I don't know when they will meet again, Zhu Jiangjiang can only invite them as much as possible.

"Girl, I will definitely go!"

Xu Gu agreed without thinking, "It's only a month's journey away, I haven't forgotten to go to Xiaohuang Village to see your newly built community."

He didn't say anything, Zhu Jiangjiang almost forgot about it, "Okay, then I will reserve a house for you in the community, so that you can stay for a few days at any time when you deliver the goods to Xiaohuang Village."

Xu Gu: "It's a deal!"

Zhu Jiangjiang: "Then... let's go first, goodbye."

They didn't want to be so sentimental at first, but the emotion of parting came as soon as they said it, and no one could control it.

Xu You endured it, clenching his teeth to betray his inner reluctance.

But he wanted to maintain his princely posture, silently watching Zhu Jiangjiang and the others leaving without saying a word.
