The Reborn Wife is Farming

It was the first time for Xiao Bowen to meet two cousins, especially Ma Xiulan who was about the same age as him, so when they first arrived, he followed Ma Xiulan back and forth.

Mu Yangling let the three of them stay in the kitchen, and went into the house by herself to find her old clothes and boots.

Mu Yangling grows up fast, and has to change clothes almost every year. Except for the most difficult years when the clothes need to be recycled. At other times, Mu Shi and Shu Wanniang are unwilling to wrong their two children. They make two new sets of cotton clothes every year. And most of last year stayed.

Ma Xiuhong and Ma Xiulan are much smaller than Mu Yangling, so they can wear her clothes from the past few years, even the boots are ready-made.

Mu Yangling found three or four sets of clothes for them, and said, "Go take a shower and change, and I'll make you some hot food."

Holding the clothes, Ma Xiuhong murmured, "Thank you cousin."

Mu Yangling just smiled.

Over there Ma Liushi has also changed clothes and is sitting in the room talking with Shu Wanniang.

In just half a day, the grandparents and grandchildren settled down at Mu's house, Shu Wanniang was about to give birth, and with Ma Liu's presence, Mu Shi and Mu Yangling felt much more at ease.

The entire Mingshui County was under the snowstorm, and people kept freezing to death. In just five days, Mu Shi took Mu Yangling to the town to deliver goods, and he saw funeral bearers along the way.

"Father, will it be colder in winter? Wouldn't more people die by then?"

Mu Shi was silent, he didn't have much time to worry about others, what he worried about was his wife and the child in her belly.

The weather is cold, newborns are easy to die, and Shu Wanniang's health has always been poor. Mu Shi is very worried about giving birth in such a cold weather.

But in Xiying, Qi Xiuyuan and the others had another kind of worry.

"It has been snowing for two days in a row, and the snow outside is as thick as a finger," Qi Xiuyuan said worriedly, "I'm afraid the snow in the north will be even greater."

Jiang Ze didn't understand, "General, what does it have to do with us whether there is a disaster in the north? Anyway, the barbarians have occupied that area."

Qi Xiuyuan picked up the book on the desk and hit him on the head, "That is the world of my Great Zhou, even if it is now occupied by barbarians, the people there are still the people of my Great Zhou, don't let me hear it again." These words."

Rong Xuan also said: "What's more, the disaster in the north is serious, and I'm afraid it will be even worse on the grasslands. If they don't have enough food, they may come south to invade, and then Xingyuan Mansion will bear the brunt."

"This is exactly what I'm worried about," Qi Xiuyuan said, "If barbarians go south, we must be the first in the Western Camp, but the defense line to the east around Mount Chu is too long, we're afraid we won't be able to take care of it."

Qi Xiuyuan looked at his capable general and said: "So, I want to re-draw the patrol route. Even if I can't stop the barbarians going south at the first time, I still have to send the news as soon as possible so that we can rush to help as soon as possible."

"The re-arrangement needs the consent of Xuanfu envoy." Rong Xuan didn't think that this matter could be achieved so easily, so he said: "General, if the defense is changed in order to prevent the Hu people from attacking from the area of ​​Chushan, the application has been completed at this time." That's too late."

"So I decided to cut it first and then play it. The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted. Rong Xuan, you should immediately draft a document and report the change of defense in detail to the Xuanfu envoy. I will start to deploy the defense here."

Jiang Ze asked for orders immediately, "General, let the subordinates lead the team."

But Rong Xuan didn't agree with Qi Xiuyuan's outrageous behavior, and said: "General, if the Xuan Fu envoy uses this as an excuse to punish you..."

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "He dare not." Qi Xiuyuan said to himself: "Who else can he ask to guard the northwest?"

Rong Xuan suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he felt a little sad in his heart, Qi Xiuyuan was very strong, he was happy, but he was useless in the court, and thinking about the current situation, Rong Xuan suddenly felt that his country was not far away.

The Xuanfu envoy of Lizhou Road was a civil servant, and he was the emperor's confidant. The emperor always gave way to the outside world, so the relationship between Qi Xiuyuan and others and the Xuanfu envoy was not good.

Jiang Ze said proudly: "General, let the subordinates lead the troops to inspect the area of ​​Chushan. If the barbarians dare to come, the subordinates will let them come and never come back, and let the Xuanfu envoy see if we can defeat them." Hu people."

Rong Xuan glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Xuan Fushi is not afraid that you will lose to the barbarian, but that you will win the barbarian?"

Jiang Ze was simple-minded, and stared at the words: "Why? Shouldn't you be happy when you win a battle?"

Why?

Both Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Xuan smiled sarcastically, because winning a battle means expanding the war. If Da Zhou loses, they only need to pay some land and gold, silver and silk cloth. But if the Hu people lose, the Hu people will become angry The people on the Dazhou side will also want to take back their homeland, and the war between the two sides will expand.

With the expansion of the war, the court's expenditures such as military pay, food and grass will increase. Da Zhou has been extravagant for more than 20 years, and he can no longer afford war.

Now the imperial court can only provide food and grass for the soldiers, but there is no military salary promised to the soldiers. Even Qi Xiuyuan has not received the military salary for half a year.

Now the soldiers of each army are trying to solve it themselves, and Qi Xiuyuan's method is nothing more than expropriating the local people and seconding the wealthy households.

Why did the Yuan Jiajun only recognize the Yuan family, but not the current sage?

Because the Yuan family is raising them, they are called Yuan Jiajun and only recognize the Yuan family.

The more victories and battles, the more military achievements and prestige, the emperor will naturally be afraid, that's why Yuan's army was so taboo, and was forcibly recalled by the emperor during the recovery battle four years ago. will be lost.

Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan had to kill first and play later, because he was afraid that if he wrote the letter now, the Xuan Fu envoy would make him stick to the west camp and not attack back, so as not to hurt the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Xuan agreed to call everyone to make arrangements the next day. Mo Xiong was puzzled and asked, "General, the north of our Xingyuan Mansion is Jingzhao Mansion, and the area around Jingzhao Mansion is much richer than ours." Even if the disaster over there is more severe than ours, and the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, it should be us poor people who are going to snatch them."

"The prosperity of Jingzhao Mansion happened four years ago. The barbarians were not good at planting. They occupied the farmland and enclosed it to plant grass and raise horses. In the past four years, the people have suffered untold hardships. Now the snowstorm is the most difficult thing for them. The Hu people can't squeeze out any oil and water from there, and in order to deal with the snowstorm on the grassland, they must go south to plunder." Qi Xiuyuan looked at the crowd and said: "So, the defense must start as soon as possible, and it is precisely for this reason that we called everyone here today. Most of the land of the Great Zhou has been lost, and it must not be lost again, otherwise we will all become sinners through the ages."

As soon as Qi Xiuyuan said this, everyone immediately stood up and cupped their fists and said: "The last general is willing to follow the general to defend the country and protect my great Zhou!"

The author has something to say: I am in a very bad state today. I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote again. This chapter is very difficult. The next few chapters are considered excessive, so it is a bit difficult to write.
