The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 88

On New Year's Eve, except for the family who gave birth, all the servants in the mansion were on vacation, and the chef hired by Linhai County also returned home for the New Year.

Except for the imperial chef, the journey back to Beijing is quite long, one trip back and forth, one season has passed, it is better to stay here to celebrate the New Year with everyone.

With the imperial chef around, it was not Xu Yin's turn to worry about the auspicious dishes necessary for the New Year, so she took the maids to the vegetable garden in the back garden of Xu Mansion, picked a basket of vegetables that were most suitable for hot pot, and let everyone The kitchen sliced ​​some fish and mutton, made some meatballs and shrimp dumplings and sent them over.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month comes, I want to eat hot pot.

Although the weather in Baigui County is warm, and it is still ten or twenty degrees in the daytime in winter, she still misses hot pot.

So while the master blacksmiths in the mine were not on vacation, they asked them to rush out a batch of mandarin duck copper pots, with a pot of clear soup with mushrooms and a pot of red oil and spicy soup, and then made a dipping sauce, and brought everyone Let's cook hot pot together.

In the outer courtyard, the servants gathered around a table in groups of three or four.

In the inner courtyard, she and Yan Kejin shared a pot together, ordering meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, and finally a portion of hand-rolled noodles by the imperial chef.

Basking in the warm winter sun and eating mandarin duck hot pot cooked with pure ecological ingredients, a sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

The servants of the outer courtyard chatted in one go:
"At that time, when I heard that I was going to Nanman, I was so scared that I trembled. I was ready to endure hardships. I never thought that this place would be so good!"

"That's because our lord and concubine are smart, you can try another one. Have you forgotten how hard it was when you first came here?"

"Did you suffer when you first came here?" Xu Yin put down the curtains and turned to ask the man.

Some of the rough envoys and servants arrived ahead of schedule with the imperial court's construction team.

As a newcomer, I am not used to food and accommodation, and this place is really poor, so I don’t have anything to ask for, and suffering is normal.

Yan Kejin raised an eyebrow.

I thought to myself: If the princess hadn't grown high-yield grain, given him the treasure map, and opened up so many mines, this year might not be so comfortable.

"After the next year, what arrangements does the princess have?"

He boiled some tender and delicious fish balls for Xu Yin.

The imperial chef was trained by his own princess, so he can do everything.

Xu Yin poured him a cup of mulberry wine brewed by herself, thought for a while and said:
"The first batch of soy sauce will be ready for use by spring plowing. Let's take some to Minyue County for a walk? Soy sauce workshops have been set up in each county. The soy sauce brewing period is half a year. I hope to bring some orders back to the soy sauce workshop during this trip. Or, I heard that pirates are rampant along the coast of Minyue County every April and May, don’t you want to test the power of firearms? Just try those pirates, it’s not a waste.”

Yan Kejin frowned when she heard the word "pirate":
"Since the princess knows that pirates are rampant in that area every April and May, why choose Minyue County? No matter how powerful the firearms are, they are impossible to defend against. I can let Yan Qi arrange the soy sauce. If the princess wants to travel, she can choose Baigui County. In the south of the county, after the year, the cement road must have reached Qinbei."

In his opinion, the large number of exiles is easier to manage than pirates.At worst, arrange a few more hidden guards for the princess.

Xu Yin was speechless: She chose Minyue County because pirates haunted it.

"The prince is the lord of the fiefdom, just like the patriarch of a family. The home is invaded by foreign enemies. As the patriarch, how can we ignore it? Besides, we made a batch of guns out of saltpeter. How do you know if you don't try it?" power?"

Now it was Yan Kejin's turn to be speechless.

He was worried about her safety, not a rampant pirate.

As soon as the firearms came out, the guards escorted a group to support the counties and counties in Minyue County that were most vulnerable to pirate invasion.

Hearing what he said, Xu Yin was stunned: "You have already sent someone to help? That's all right."

She originally thought that the owner of the fiefdom should not interfere in the government affairs. Even if a batch of guns were made out of saltpeter and iron ore, she would have to find a reason to do so.

For example, if you pretend to be a businessman from other places, encounter pirates and rob them, and take them all under the pretext of self-defense, the court will not say anything after knowing it.

But if you send your own soldiers and weapons to reinforce, aren't you afraid of being referred to by the censor?

Yan Kejin raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the concubine say that? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Do something here. When it gets back to Beijing, the daylily will be cold. What's more, the counties of Minyue and Baiyue counties Shou, they are all my king's people now."

"..." Are you good enough?
A few days after we talked about this topic, Fei Ge, the governor of Minyue County, sent a letter to report the brilliant record of the recent battle with the pirates.

"... more than a hundred pirates were captured, three large ships were seized, and the pirates were severely frightened."

Yan Kejin happily relayed the story to Xu Yin.

"Afterwards, we can take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, go straight to Huanglong, and completely destroy the Pirate's Den. What does the princess think?"

Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "Before investigating where the pirates' lairs are and whether there are ambushes around them, it's better not to act rashly. The key is to protect the safety of the coastal counties and improve people's livelihood."

After a pause, she suddenly smiled:
"I have an idea. The prince can form a fleet by himself, pick a group of capable men, bring firearms, and carry out anti-robbery specifically against pirates. This matter, the officers and soldiers can't do it, otherwise the impact will be bad, and the prince has nothing to do now anyway. real power...

Cough, what I mean is, the purpose of the lord's fleet to go out to sea is to make friends with overseas allies, and when he encounters pirates on the way, he has no choice but to clash with them. It can only be blamed on them for being blind, and it's not easy to rob the lord..."

Before Xu Yin could finish speaking, Yan Kejin clapped her hands suddenly: "Good idea!"

He really felt that the princess was degraded as a daughter.

How can there be such a smart person!

With an open mind, King Jinnan immediately started to form a long-distance fleet that was soon called "Pirate Buster" by the coast.

The fleet set sail from Qinbei, and it happened to be the end of the spring plowing when it left the port. Xu Yinren did not go, but taught the tenant farmers to raise rice flower fish and rice flower crab in Zhuangzi, but through the letter from Yanqi, I felt the first batch of selection The guards of the royal palace who boarded the ship, the excited hearts that are about to sail away.

Thanks to the abundance of refined iron forged weapons, the inventory of firearms is also increasing day by day, otherwise, at this rate, there would not be enough guards for the palace.

Without strong firearms to sit in the town, the rear base camp alone is not enough to be guarded.

Xu Yin proposed to set up an escort agency, similar to the later generations of security companies and courier companies, recruiting a group of people who know how to fight and kung fu to serve as escorts. If there is a need for the workshop under the Wangfu, the workshop will be given priority.

To put it bluntly, it is mainly to serve the palace, and it can also take some orders from outside in its spare time, and its nature is similar to that of a carpenter's workshop.

Who let the workshops under the Wangfu build more and more, and they will soon be opened all over the Nanman, and they will go out of the Nanman and go to the world in the future.It is very necessary to set up a bodyguard agency of your own.

And in this way, the personal guards can save some manpower, so they don't have to go out every time they escort supplies.

Yan Kejin's work efficiency has always been high, and Xu Yin thinks that she can't keep up with her flattery. She often draws up a plan on her side, and Yan Kejin's side not only takes shape of the plan, but also puts it into practice.

No, it's not until the end of the spring plowing that we don't want to build a bodyguard bureau. In May, winter wheat, corn, fodder and beans and other crops gradually mature, and the Weinan bodyguard bureaus set up in various counties and counties began to operate.

Wei Nan, um, defends the Nanman.

Xu Yin sometimes thinks: God let her transmigrate into this novel, could it be that she was made to light up the technology tree?

Reluctantly, she lived through several lifetimes, and the one she had the most contact with was actually farming.

If you don't have the technologies and formulas that can be exchanged in the system mall, you can't light it up.
