Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 78 Reaching the Frontier
"Ping An, needless to say, I know that this year the soldiers can eat enough and wear warm clothes. In order to protect the country, they have the strength to fight back."

General Zhang nodded fiercely.

Concealedly said: "I'll go to the front and have a look." But the flushed eyes could see his excitement at this moment.

The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and there were no twists and turns on the road.

It's just that whenever Chen Yi went to a place, he would go there to buy some seeds and some herbs.

Just like this, he walked all the way, bought all the way, and when he reached the west, he spent all the money. Chen Yi did as he said, did not waste the money, on the contrary, he really dedicated himself to serving the people.

General Zhang has also seen it along the way. Chen Yi's current status in his heart can be said to be second only to the empress.

They walked for about a month, and finally reached the northern border.

And now it's autumn.

At this moment, Chen Yi really wanted to know the situation in Longxi. He wondered if he could harvest some food in autumn. Unfortunately, it was too far away from Longxi now, and there was no good news.

Chen Yi could only think about it in his heart.

After arriving at the western border, Chen Yi realized how bad the environment was.

The sky is full of yellow sand, dust is flying, and there are few people.

When Chen Yi first came here, it happened to be in the evening. Looking at the team ahead, he really felt the desolation of the desert, the solitary smoke, and the long river with the sun setting.

Chen Yi felt a little heavy.

If we want these people to eat and clothe and renovate this place, I am afraid it will not be a matter of one or two years.

Coupled with the perennial war here, it can be said that the crops planted this year will be ruined before the autumn harvest. In addition, the people have fled here because of the war.

So there's a sense of trepidation here.

Or it could be said to be an erratic feeling that you can move out of here at any time.

If you really want to let the people here live and work in peace and contentment, you need a powerful elite army stationed here for a long time.This is really a big problem.

Chen Yi thought of the current national conditions of Dawu Kingdom and the empty treasury.

He knew that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, but Chen Yi did not completely lose his fighting spirit!
Chen Yi knew that he came here to change this country.

So many difficult things before have changed little by little. Although it may take a long time, a little change will lead to a little progress. After all, there is still hope.

After General Zhang entered the camp, he took Chen Yi to meet several other generals.

To say that there are quite a few generals here, but the border area is relatively wide, and they are not stationed in one place. Now they are gathered together because they heard that General Zhang is here to collect food and grass.

The city where General Zhang is located is called Guanliang City.

It is the largest city in the frontier, and it is also the city most attacked by the Xuanluo Kingdom. The general surnamed Zhao stationed here is Zhao Zixi, and General Zhang is his lieutenant general.

Several generals thought it was an old general who was over half a century old, and his surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Lian, but there was no relationship between the two of them.

It should be regarded as the granary of this border, and the planting area is relatively large.

But after these few years, the Xuanluo Kingdom continued to attack, and the cultivated land continued to decrease, and now the grain production is also very low.

There is also a general named Liu Ziqian, who is stationed in a city called Lucheng.

These are the generals that General Zhang brought Chen Yi to see now.

After all, Chen Yi is a civil servant, so when he first came here, he was still a little unaccustomed to the environment. After washing up and taking a nap, he regained some energy.

As a result, General Zhang dragged him into the tent just after eating.

During the time when Chen Yi was eating, resting, and sleeping, General Zhang told these generals everything that happened along the way, as well as what Chen Yi had done.

Originally, these generals went straight back to their homes after they finished pulling the food and grass.

But hearing that Chen Yi had done so much for them, he naturally wanted to thank them in person, so he stayed for a while longer.

It turned out that these people had met Chen Yi before.

I probably have an impression of this incident in Longxi, but I also know that there is such a number one person and has done some things, so I don't feel much about Chen Yi personally.

But it was completely different at this time, Chen Yi was just a small fourth-rank civil servant, and he actually helped them to such an extent.

The sufficient food and grass, winter clothes, and other medicinal materials were so well prepared that it could even be said that they originated from the military expenditure allocated by the previous imperial court every year.

How could those straight-hearted tough guys not be moved.

So there is this scene now.

Chen Yi followed General Zhang in with a dazed expression, and then looked at the other generals with excited expressions on their faces.

Before Chen Yi could say anything, they came up one by one to salute.

"Thank you, Chen Shilang, for working so hard for the border guards with great righteousness in your heart, please accept my respect."

"Chen Shilang, please accept my worship."

All of a sudden, these generals bowed down to salute Chen Yi.

Chen Yi has seen so many big scenes, but now he froze in place, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately helped up several generals,

Chen Yi could feel that these people were sincerely grateful to him.

The heart is also very surging.

It was in a peaceful era before, and Chen Yi was very moved when he saw those soldiers.

What's more, at this time when the wind and rain are falling and the country is so turbulent, these soldiers who sacrifice their lives to defend their homes and the country are more worthy of everyone's respect.

Because they were fighting with their lives, which was why Chen Yi did so much.

Chen Yi couldn't bear it!I couldn't bear to look at these lovely people, because they didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes, so they lost their lives in vain.

Chen Yi helped the generals up and said with a smile.

"You don't have to do this. This is what I should do. The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility. What's more, I am a fourth-rank official. Compared with you, what I do is really a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning."

Zhao Zixi, General Zhao said.

"Chen Shilang, you are too modest. General Zhang told us what you have done. This winter, the soldiers can eat and wear warm, but it is all thanks to you. You deserve this thank you."

Chen Yi can be proud in other places, but in front of these soldiers, he really can't be proud and has nothing to be proud of, so Chen Yi is very humble.

"The stability of this country and the peace of the people are all thanks to you! How can I be human enough to keep you hungry and warm?"
