During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

Qin Shi would not leave Qucheng for several days.

It was rare to walk around with her children. Last time she heard that there was a very beautiful waterfall outside the city.

Prepare to take the kids to see it.

Xiao Dongchen liked staying with Shen Qianning very much.

In fact, sometimes he didn't understand why Shen Qianning didn't teach him how to do business.

After eating, Shen Qianning went to find Magistrate Sun.

Magistrate Sun, who was working in the back office, heard that Shen Qianning was here.

He immediately put down what he was doing.

Go to the yard in person to greet you.

"I look forward to you coming to Qucheng every day!"

Shen Qianning handed the bacon he brought from his hometown to Magistrate Sun and said, "I smoked it myself. Let's have a taste."

Magistrate Sun happily took it and said, "You don't know, my wife always asks me to go to the restaurant to buy spinach and come back. Shang Yu is probably disgusted with me. When will those dishes of yours be sold to the outside world?"

Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Shang Yu, so he could buy some of the dishes sent by Shen Qianning.

Many officials in the government office wanted to buy food to eat at home, but they couldn't buy it at all.

Shen Qianning sighed, wondering: "Selling it to external parties is definitely not possible."

She saw that Magistrate Sun was a little regretful.

Then he said: "But I can send someone a basket, and you can let the brothers in the Yamen divide it."

Magistrate Sun laughed.

I'm in a great mood.

"I just said you are the best."

Magistrate Sun invited Shen Qianning to sit down in the flower hall.

The waiter brought tea.

Magistrate Sun carefully took out a letter and handed it to Shen Qianning.

"Look, the emperor sent someone to bring it during the New Year."

Shen Qianning glanced at Magistrate Sun in surprise.

Some people don't understand why the emperor wrote to her.

He opened the letter in front of Magistrate Sun, read it carefully and said with a smile: "The emperor said that all kinds of seeds sent have been distributed to various state capitals, and the methods of planting have also been taught. I believe there will be many seeds this year." Crops such as sweet potatoes and pumpkins can be grown everywhere, and the other thing is a little private matter.”

The emperor hinted that as long as Xiao Feiye succeeded in suppressing the bandits this time, he would be promoted.

Magistrate Sun did not ask about the personal matters Shen Qianning mentioned.

"Qu Cheng also left some here. I sent them to farmers who are better at farming. I didn't give them to the big families."

He knew that Shen Qianning's original intention was to help those poor farmers.

Naturally, he would not let down Shen Qianning's good intentions.

Shen Qianning smiled gently and said: "You are right to do this. If you give these seeds to wealthy families, the result will be that ordinary people will have to spend money to buy them, while wealthy families will take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Magistrate Sun had thought of these before.

That’s why we choose people who are good at farming and have good conduct.

He also warned that after the harvest, pumpkin seeds would be given away for free, and the red sweet potato and potatoes would be taken back by the court.

Magistrate Sun said seriously: "The emperor has repeatedly warned us to handle this matter well. Don't worry, I will make arrangements. General Xiao will go to suppress the bandits! You should be careful with your children alone. I have heard that those bandits Kou is not a good person, I’m worried that they will target you.”

Shen Qianning was also afraid of this: "Dongchen will follow Qin Shi, and I will personally take Nanchuan and Xiyue. By the way, those outside the city are inevitable. They should wait a while to leave! If they don't have food, I can still provide some here." money."

I don't know what will happen when I go back.

On the contrary, no one in the village is the best.

On the other side, Xiao Feiye has already led people to the border of Yun Kingdom.

The border between Beiliang and Yun Kingdom is a big river.

The name of this river is Nushui River. The river surface is very wide and the water is turbulent.

The national boundary is drawn from the center of the river.

Xiao Feiye rode his horse and led people to look across the river.

The people in the Yun Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment.

On the Beiliang side, the village was abandoned, with nine out of ten houses empty.

Xiao Ji said angrily: "It must be those bastards from Yun Kingdom."

If there were really bandits, why did they only rob the Beiliang side but ignore the Yun State side?

After all, the Yun Kingdom seems to be more prosperous and wealthy.

Xiao Feiye said with a dark face: "Some revenge must be avenged. Xiao Ji, Qingyan, you two will each lead 30 people, investigate along the river on the left and right, and hide all the boats along the way. In addition, if there is a temporary The pontoon was destroyed by me, and I will make it impossible for them to come back."

He wants to cut off those people's escape route and make it impossible for them to come back.

Xiao Ji and Qing Yan left quickly with 30 people.

Xiao Feiye asked the old man he found in the village: "Old man, you said before that all the bandits were hiding in Qingshi Village, right?"

The old man was old, probably because he couldn't walk, so he stayed in the village.

When bandits came, he hid in the cellar. Fortunately, he was not caught by the bandits.

When Xiao Feiye and the others were searching house to house, the old man heard the noise and took a sneak peek. He didn't dare to come out until he found out it was officers and soldiers.

The old man pointed in the direction of Qingshi Village and said: "Go in this direction for about ten miles, go into the mountains, and you will arrive at Qingshi Village. I heard what the bandits said when I was hiding, and they also put all the things they robbed away. In Qingshi Village."

Xiao Feiye's mind became active.

Those bandits robbed a lot of things.

If they attack rashly, the bandits might rather burn the stolen food than leave it to them.

You have to think carefully about countermeasures.

The first thing Xiao Feiye thought of was Shen Qianning, but he didn't want Shen Qianning to take risks.

Look again at what you are saying.

On the other side, Shen Qianning left the government office.

After she returned to the store, she told her three children that she wanted to take them out for a walk.

The three children were very happy when they heard that they wanted to see the waterfall.

However, Xiao Xiyue was worried that playing too long would delay his studies.

"Mom, when can we go back to the academy to study? The academy will start classes soon."

Shen Qianning stroked Xiao Xiyue's head and said, "Then do you want to study in Qu Cheng?"

Speaking of which, I will definitely go back to the village less often in the future.

She also knew about Qu Cheng, and the academy was definitely much better than the one in the county town.

The gentleman who teaches is also very famous.

Xiao Nanchuan refused directly: "Mom, I don't want to study in Qucheng. The county is very good."

Xiao Xiyue was very moved.

He had heard from Uncle Meng before that the teacher in Qu Cheng was very good at teaching. If there was a chance, he would come to Qu Cheng. This would make it easier to take the imperial examination.

Asked: "Mom, can I go to Hanwen Academy to study?"

Xiao Xiyue's eyes were full of expectation.

Shen Qianning just wanted to send Xiao Xiyue and Xiao Nanchuan to Hanwen Academy.

Gentle said: "How do you know that I want to send you to Hanwen Academy to study?"

Xiao Xiyue suddenly became excited.

Walking around in circles happily in the yard.

"Great, mother, I want to go, I want to go!"

Even their husband said he wanted to go to Hanwen Academy.
