Parents are busy farming

Wang Chuanshan took over the words and said: "But if it really comes to the stage where we need to recruit troops, it means that the war is very fierce and will be a huge disaster for the entire Great Xia. But this war does not mean that we can not fight if we don't want to. call taxi."

His voice was low and powerful, full of deep helplessness and compassion.

Maybe this is a scholar!

Wang Chuanxing nodded in agreement.

"The troops and horses have not moved yet, but food and grass go first. It is estimated that the price of food will rise. Coupled with the recent drought, the people will only suffer in the end! My uncle looks sad every day when he comes home. Since last year, troops have been added to the border. The pressure on grain and grass is increasing, and the Ministry of Revenue has recently been paying attention to this season's grain output."

Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought about the food she had just brought back from the south.

The current situation is that no amount of food is enough.

"The wheat here this season has not been greatly affected. I don't know what the situation is now in other places. Anyway, I know that many places in Feng County will definitely see a reduction in production. Also, I discovered during this trip with the caravan that other places It has also been affected in many ways.”

Ye Zifen has been worried after seeing the situation everywhere.

Looking at her two cousins ​​who were frowning, she said: "There has been no bad news from the south so far. The officials who want to be sent by the imperial court are all interested this time."

Their place is a grain warehouse in the north, but compared to the land of plenty in the south, there is still a gap.

Wang Chuanxing said: "Everyone is well aware of the current situation of the imperial court. How can anyone dare to cause trouble on this occasion? What's more, the Holy Spirit has become more and more aggressive in his actions in recent years. Officials should be more cautious to avoid offending Tian Yan."

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were unhappy, Wang Chuanxing exhaled a long breath and said: "Now we have to take one step at a time. Even if we recruit troops, we won't be recruiting troops so soon. The existing army should be able to withstand it for a while. At least this time It gives us a period of breathing space.”

Ye Zifen thought of what she had always wanted to do, saw her two cousins, and wanted to hear their opinions.

So he said: "I have always wanted to send people out to sea to investigate. I have long heard from the old people in the caravan that there seems to be a place on the sea with extremely high grain production. If we can go there to exchange for some grain, maybe we can solve the problem. It meets our urgent needs so that the whole of Great Xia can survive the natural disaster safely."

What Ye Zifen said is that the ultimate goal is to save fewer people from dying.

Wang Chuanshan shook his head after hearing this, and immediately said: "You must always remember the imperial court's sea ban order. Although the order has been implemented for many years, the lives of the people along the coast have been difficult and the people have no means of livelihood.

But as soon as the government order is unclear, your merchant ships will not be able to go to sea.

Even if the imperial court lifted the sea ban and allowed merchants to trade at sea, trading at sea was not easy, and the problem of ships was the primary problem.

I know that you have been building various ships over the past few years, and we see your hard work and dedication. However, ships going to sea must be combat capable.

Without the ability to fight, the people sent would have no choice but to die.

You also know that the waves on the sea are huge and pirates are rampant. Without powerful ships and weapons, our fleet cannot gain a foothold on the sea, let alone protect our merchants.

Therefore, I hope you can build stronger and more advanced ships. These ships must not only be able to sail at sea, but also be able to play a powerful role in battle.

I believe that with your wisdom and ability, you will be able to build such a ship.

But don’t go to sea rashly now! "

Ye Zifen knew all the issues Wang Chuanshan mentioned, but now she just wanted to send someone out to have a look, but after hearing what her cousin said, she hesitated.

If the people sent out encounter pirates, will they have no choice but to die?

She can't gamble!

So she suppressed the thoughts in her heart.

"I know that I will think of another way, but I don't know when the court will impose a sea ban. I feel that the wait is eternity."

It's okay for Ye Zifen to finish complaining. There are still many things to deal with now.

But her words caught Wang Chuanshan's attention and he took the matter to heart.

The three of them saw Ye Zifei and Wang Chuanren while walking.

The two of them were sitting under the willow tree by the river, not knowing what they were talking about.

Ye Zifen looked at the other two people with a smile and whispered: "How about we go somewhere else? Don't disturb them two."

She thought her voice was very small, but the two people sitting far away turned their heads.

Seeing the three of them, the two of them stood up quickly, like children who had made a mistake.

When Ye Zifen saw them like this, he shook his head and walked over.

"What about you two? This is almost done. The three of us are not outsiders, so we still care so much."

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, Ye Zifei became even more shy, but Wang Chuanren felt much better.

Said to Ye Zifen: "You think everyone is like a girl like you, thick-skinned. We still want shame!"

Ye Zifen pouted, "I'll be angry if you say that! Remember, in addition to being your cousin, I'm also your sister-in-law. Even if you don't coax me, you still say that to me. Be careful..."

Wang Chuanshan nodded fiercely beside him, "Be careful, Zifen, go back and complain to your mother. You will be rewarded in the future."

Ye Zifen looked at Wang Chuanren with a threatening face.

Zhi Fei came over and took Zhi Fen's hand, "Okay! We are all cousins, stop acting coquettishly. This threat of yours is just a disguised form of coquettishness!"

Ye Zifen finally smiled and whispered to Ye Zifei: "Can't you stand it? You actually spoke for him."

Ye Zifei said: "There's really nothing we can do against you. Anyway, the three of them are more familiar with you and treat you as their own sister. You can talk to them yourself! I'll go back first."

She said that and left.

Ye Zifen turned to Wang Chuanren and asked, "Sorry, we disturbed you."

Wang Chuanren said: "I didn't say anything anyway. Let's go and talk together. Brother will finally come back."

Zi Zifen said: "You are right, you two will have plenty of opportunities to talk in the future. I have to catch the car to talk to you!"

Wang Chuanren really had no choice but to stop answering Ye Zifen.

The four of them sat again where the two of them were sitting just now.

In fact, they had already talked a lot on the way here, and now that they saw Wang Chuanren, Ye Zifen could only ask him.

"Second cousin must be going to the capital. What about you? Will you stay at home after getting married?"

Wang Chuanren shook his head, "I chose the academy in Fucheng, which is also very famous and relatively close to home. I plan to buy a small house there so that Zifei can follow me there."
