The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

"You have a village here that massacred our village. We are going to kill your people," the man said.

After hearing what the man said, Xia Yechen felt confused. He asked: "Weren't you, the Ji'an tribe, defeated by our Beizhou tribe? Why are there still people coming to take revenge?"

"Although our Ji'an tribe has been defeated, we will not forget our hatred. We will keep fighting until we win."

The man said, "Didn't many of your people in Beizhou die at the hands of our Ji'an tribe? We will never forget our hatred."

After Xia Yechen heard the man's words, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He said: "Your hatred is understandable. But we have signed a peace agreement between Beizhou and the Ji'an people, and we cannot attack you."

"Agreement? We don't care about any agreement. We want revenge!" the man shouted, "Brothers, go ahead! Kill them!"

The two sides soon started a fierce battle. Xia Yechen was well protected by the soldiers and did not suffer any harm.

But the soldiers of the Ji'an tribe were very brave, and Xia Yechen soon felt the pressure. However, under Xia Yechen's command, the soldiers gradually stabilized their position.

They exerted the combat effectiveness and tactical literacy of the Beizhou Army and quickly cornered the Ji'an soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the Ji'an tribe had no choice but to escape with a few of his men.

When Sima Yuanfeng arrived, he happened to see many soldiers busy cleaning the battlefield. He saw Xia Yechen standing aside, directing the soldiers' work.

"Xia Yechen!" Sima Yuanfeng stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Xia Yechen turned around and saw Sima

Yuanfeng, with a smile on his face, walked over and saluted: "Sir Ma, you are here."

Sima Yuanfeng looked at Xia Yechen and couldn't help but admire him. He said: "Xia Yechen, you are really brave. I have never seen a monarch who dares to charge into battle like you."

Xia Yechen smiled modestly and said, "Master Sima is overly praised. I just did what I should do."

Zhou Xiaoyuan also stepped forward at this time and saluted: "Sir Ma, I wonder why you are here?"

Sima Yuanfeng glanced at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said, "I'm here to see Xia Yechen. I want to discuss with him to see if I can buy some weapons from him."

"Buy weapons?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked in surprise, "Don't you know that our weapons in Beizhou are the most advanced in the world?"

Sima Yuanfeng nodded and said: "I know. But I still want to see it in person, after all, only in this way can I make a better judgment."

At this time, everyone also completed the battlefield cleanup work and returned to the city. Xia Yechen arranged a grand dinner to entertain Sima Yuanfeng and the soldiers.

At the dinner, he specially prepared some delicacies made from potatoes.

When Sima Yuanfeng tasted these delicacies, he was very surprised. He had eaten many delicacies before, but had never tasted anything like this.

He asked: "Xia Yechen, what materials are these delicacies made of?"

Xia Yechen smiled and replied: "These delicacies are all made from our Beizhou potatoes."

"Potatoes?" Sima Yuanfeng asked with some confusion, "What kind of material is this?"

Xia Yechen explains

Dao: "This is a very nutritious ingredient that can be stored for a long time and tastes very good."

Sima Yuanfeng nodded and sighed: "It's incredible! I have never seen such ingredients."

After the dinner, Xia Yechen and Sima Yuanfeng came to a quiet room and began to discuss the purchase of weapons.

Xia Yechen took out some weapon samples and showed Sima Yuanfeng the performance and characteristics of these weapons.

Sima Yuanfeng observed these weapons carefully. He found that the manufacturing technology of these weapons was very advanced and the design was also very unique.

He secretly thought: These weapons are indeed very good. If you can buy some and return them to the capital, they will definitely greatly enhance our country's military strength.

So, Sima Yuanfeng began to ask about the prices and purchase methods of these weapons.

Xia Yechen replied: "These weapons are made by us in Beizhou, and the prices are very reasonable. If you want to buy some back, we can arrange transportation and delivery."

Sima Yuanfeng thought for a moment and decided to think carefully before making a decision after returning to the capital. He expressed his gratitude to Xia Yechen and hoped that there would be more cooperation opportunities in the future.

Xia Yechen also expressed his gratitude and expressed his willingness to establish a closer cooperative relationship with Sima Yuanfeng.

After Sima Yuanfeng left, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask Xia Yechen, "What is the purpose of Lord Sima coming here?"

Xia Yechen pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I guess the emperor may have known about the situation in our Beizhou. He sent Sima Yuanfeng here to confirm our situation in Beizhou.

strength and condition. "

After hearing Xia Yechen's words, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but said with some worry: "If the emperor knows about our situation in Beizhou, will he send troops to attack us?"

Xia Yechen shook his head and comforted: "No. Our strength in Beizhou cannot be underestimated, and we have been working hard to maintain peace. I believe the emperor knows this."

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little more at ease after hearing Xia Yechen's words.

Soon after, Sima Yuanfeng returned to the capital and reported what he saw and heard to the emperor. He handed the letter Xia Yechen wrote to him to the emperor and dedicated the potato seeds to the emperor.

After reading the letter, the emperor was very satisfied with Xia Yechen's governance ability and the prosperity of Beizhou.

He praised: "Xia Yechen is such a talented monarch! Not only did he manage Beizhou in an orderly manner, he also found such an excellent crop for our country."

Sima Yuanfeng also took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, potatoes are a very nutritious ingredient that can be used to make various delicacies. Moreover, it can also be used to make wine and starch, and has a wide range of uses."

The emperor nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this potato looks very promising indeed. You did a good job."

Later, the emperor asked Sima Yuanfeng about the cultivation methods and planting techniques of potato seeds. Sima Yuanfeng explained it briefly, and the emperor understood the key point.

The emperor immediately ordered the Minister of Hubu to come to see him.

Shangshu Hube met the emperor in the palace. The emperor asked him to try growing potatoes and gave him the potato seeds. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance immediately agreed.

, and said that he would go all out to complete the task.

In Beizhou, Xia Yechen summoned the governor, generals and other high officials to discuss how to deal with the Ji'an tribe's revenge.
