At night, autumn crickets chirp in the corner, adding a little more subtle noise to the autumn night.

The governor told his wife what Yan Xin said, and also mentioned what other senior officials meant: "I guess they don't think too much about it."

After hearing this, the madam first pondered, her gentle eyes were quiet, and her expression was collected.

She seemed to think for a while before she said, "I got up early today and took Nan Shu and Rou Zhen out of the city."

The Overseer looked at her, wondering why she made such irrelevant remarks.

"We went to see the autumn rice. I had a dream last night that a fire broke out in the fields outside Yicheng and burned all the autumn rice.

I woke up before daybreak. I was so exhausted that I couldn't sit still, so I took the two girls out of the city to see the autumn rice fields. "said the lady.

She is telling the truth.

She did have a dream last night, and the sky was filled with fire, which scared her to death.

She really took Sheng Rouzhen and Zhang Nanshu out in the morning, which delayed her time for breakfast.

When Yan Xin came over at ten o'clock, they had not finished breakfast.

"Really?" The warlord was slightly stunned.

The lady frowned slightly: "Dreams are all the opposite. I went out to the city to see. The autumn rice fields are very safe, and the rice is almost [-]% yellow."

I saw an old farmer guarding the fields on the field ridge. He said that the harvest would be ready in ten days and a half. This year the weather will be good, the rice ears will fall in autumn, and we will have a bumper harvest. "

Warlord: "I also know that this year's autumn rice is very good. So I am very hesitant. It would be a pity to harvest it early."

"It's a pity. It was harvested ten days and a half early, and only [-]% to [-]% of the grains were empty. I asked the farmer specifically," the lady said.

Warlord: "Do you think I should listen to Zhu Zhu'er?"

“With good rain this year, even if the production is reduced by [-]% to [-]%, we will still be able to harvest more food than in those bad years.

There is a real possibility that people will starve to death next spring, which will be very troublesome. Warlord, we have made changes. Will other military leaders take the opportunity to attack?

You also said last time that war is going on in the southwest and they are the most restless. If he knew that we were in trouble, would Zhang Shuai send his troops south, not to mention the southwest? "The lady said.

The warlord's eyes were shocked and he was speechless for a moment.

"You must have thought that the rain in the past three years was normal and the granary was a little thin. This year's harvest will be bumper, and you are working hard to fill the granary.

But nothing in the world is perfect. Zhu Zhuer's two predictions were extremely accurate. If I were you, I would definitely accept a [-]% or [-]% reduction in production to keep the bulk. "The lady said.

Warlord: "Let me think about it again."

The lady said nothing more.

Yan Xin and Zhang Nanshu didn't sleep either, and they were also talking about Qiudao.

"...Those rice plants, with clear yellow ears hanging down, are so beautiful." Zhang Nanshu said.

"We are all looking forward to a good harvest. When I got up early, my mother Feng was still saying that she would make rice cakes for us as soon as the autumn grain comes. She also said that the new grain is very good and the rice will be delicious," Yan Xin said.

Zhang Nanshu: "Are you worried now?"

"Yes." Yan Xin said.

Although she knew that Jing Yuanzhao would get relief food, there was no turmoil in Yicheng, and there was no war in Yicheng.

After rebirth, many things have changed. Who knows what will happen in this life?

Zhang Nanshu asked her again: "The governor really said that he couldn't make up his mind in front of his subordinates?"

Yan Xin: "Yes."

Zhang Nanshu: "He is so brave! The warlord has a good life. If he were to fight for the family business by himself like my father, he would probably only be a small squad leader."

Jingfeng inherited his father's army and family wealth, and occupied a port city with a prosperous economy and smooth sailing for decades.

The collapse of the imperial court was such a big change, but because he had a large number of troops, he was hardly implicated.

But Zhang Nanshu's family is different.

Her father was born into a poor peasant family. There was a great-uncle who studied hard, passed the examination, and became a minor official in Beicheng. Seeing Zhang Nanshu's cleverness since he was a child, his father took him in and raised him.

Zhang Shuai changed from the son of a poor farmer to the nephew of a small official, and was exposed to more education.

"My father was admitted to the military academy by himself, and his superior later valued him highly. My father's superior had a good relationship with my grandfather and acted as a matchmaker for him to marry my mother," Zhang Nanshu said.

Yan Xin: "Your mother is from a good background?"

"He came from a good background, but later he became lonely. My father rose through the ranks step by step and reached his current status.

Compared to Governor Jing, my father suffered too much. He earned every soldier by himself. " Zhang Nanshu said.

He added, "Actually, Governor Jing is quite powerful. Generally speaking, young master soldiers can easily destroy their property.

Not only did Governor Jing not destroy the foundation, but he was able to monopolize one side and share the power in the south and north of the Yangtze River with my father. "

Yan Xin felt that Governor Jing had his strengths.

He is a person who is willing to listen to advice.

He is willing to listen to suggestions from his subordinates, his wife, or even his son.

If he had been more decisive, he would not have had to divide the south and north of the Yangtze River equally, and could have completely conquered the Yangtze River.

No one is perfect.

Jing Yuanzhao absorbed the strengths of his parents and had the support of the rich family fortune guarded by the military governor, which enabled him to achieve his later achievements.

"The governor is not mediocre, he is just suitable for defense. Unfortunately, these troubled times cannot tolerate those who stick to it. If you don't move forward, you will slowly retreat and be swallowed up." Yan Xin said.

Zhang Nanshu agreed.

The two of them talked for half the night, neither of them felt sleepy.

Zhang Nanshu called her wet nurse and asked her to get some midnight snacks.

The wet nurse asked the small kitchen to prepare shredded chicken noodles.

The oil in the noodle soup was skimmed off and eggs were added. Yan Xin and Zhang Nanshu each ate a bowl before going to bed.

The next day, Yan Xin and Zhang Nanshu went to the main courtyard to have breakfast, and the military governor was also there.

Sheng Rouzhen arrived before the two of them.

The warlord looked solemn and his face turned gray. Judging from this description, he didn't sleep all night.

Yan Xin couldn't bear to scold him harshly. After all, he was just cautious.

If he hadn't been so cautious, the Jing family's fortune wouldn't have been as strong as it is now. He was a pretty good general.

Having him is a blessing to the people.

There was silence at the dinner table.

Breakfast was almost finished when Jing Yuanzhao came back.

He took the document to the Overseer.

He stayed up all night and took people to inspect farmland and visited old farmers.

"Almost [-]% of the autumn rice is yellow. If harvested at this time, the yield will be reduced by only [-]%," Jing Yuanzhao said.

Governor Jing took a few deep breaths, and finally said: "Then take it. Let the military government pass on the order, ask people to prepare storm warnings, and order all Zhuangzi to complete the autumn grain harvest within three days."

Jing Yuanzhao knocked his boots and saluted: "Yes!"

He went to do this in a hurry.

Guo Yuan was so angry that he was half dead.

When the second lady heard about it, she was also very surprised. At the same time, she scolded Yan Xin: "What did Mr. Sheng do to keep Hu Meizi around? The autumn harvest is a matter of people's livelihood, and she dares to talk nonsense! The military governor should shoot her!"

Guo Yuan sighed.

He finally understood how sad and helpless those ministers felt when the enchantress who brought disaster to the country slandered the king in ancient times.

"The military governor not only ordered the autumn harvest to be completed within three days, but the granaries are also being flood-proofed. The granaries on lower ground are being relocated urgently.

Notices were posted in the city to let people and businesses prepare in advance. Everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out. "Guo Yuan's adjutant told him.

After hearing this, Guo Yuan closed his eyes slightly.

He wished he could find an opportunity to shoot Yan Xin and solve this scourge.

Both the governor and his son were bewitched by her.
