The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Shen Dongyue looked at her husband with distressed eyes, hugged him suddenly, and cried loudly.

Ding Qi's eyes were also filled with tears, for his own unfortunate fate and for the unborn child.

He regretted it immensely. He had obviously known that Xiao had left the village quietly before, and the princess had sent someone to warn him. He promised the princess that he would protect Dongyue.

It was obvious that Dongyue had been extremely uneasy recently, but he didn't pay attention to it and didn't even send anyone to guard the back door.

Shen Dongyue felt that she was no longer qualified to be a mother. She was pregnant twice and was aborted twice due to accidents.

And these two times, one was because Feng Wensheng personally killed his own child.

One time it was Feng Wensheng's mother who put her resentment on her and killed her poor child.

She regretted countless times. Why did she believe Feng Wensheng's words in the first place?

He must listen to his mother and grandma and snatch him away from Dong Su.

If you mess with this demon, you will live in pain and regret for the rest of your life.

Dong Su, I regret it!

Shen Dongyue couldn't help crying.

Yu Dayu led a team of government officials and followed the beggars' guidance all the way to the moat where they spent the night.

When Mrs. Xiao saw Yu Dayu, she knew that there was no way to escape. If he catches her, life will be worse than death, and it will never be possible to kill Shen Dongyue again.

Immediately shouted at the top of his lungs to the group of beggars:

"My son Feng Wensheng is a scholar in Guangzhou County! Tell him that I was killed by that poisonous woman Shen Dongyue! He will be very grateful!"

After calling Mrs. Xiao, he jumped into the moat. The last thing he said before dying was:

"Shen Dongyue! Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go! I curse you to die miserably! The old lady is waiting for you in the underworld!"

In the surging river, Xiao swirled in it and sank to the bottom.

When he was picked up, he was already soaked and turned white, and he could no longer be dead.

Yu Dayu told everyone not to spread what Xiao said before his death.

But there were so many people by the moat at that time. He could control his own people, but he couldn't control others!

Shen Dongyue had been in bed to recuperate for many days. Rumors had spread, and she had also heard about Mr. Xiao's curse before his death.

That kind of fear instantly swept over the whole body again. Even if Xiao died, the nightmare she caused would not end.

This matter was written on the letter by Da Yu, and it was sent to Dong Su together with the supplies sent by Jiangnan to Youzhou.

Because when Xiao disappeared from Shenjia Village, Dong Su sent someone to look for her.

Now that she is dead and such a tragic thing has happened, Da Yu feels that Dong Su should be informed.

In Youzhou City, Dongsu was still opening 'gifts', and the latest one was from Guangzhou.

Butler Liu sent the supplies he prepared to Youzhou in the name of Grandpa Shen.

The princelings would monitor the supplies sent by people from Prince Ling's mansion, but there was no reason to monitor the things that Mr. Shen gave to his granddaughter.

A and Si took the others to unpack the things prepared by housekeeper Liu, while Dong Su, her eldest brother and Xiao Pan brother unpacked the things prepared by their own family members.

Seeing the cart of dry noodles, Dong Su was overjoyed, not only because she had convenient noodles to eat, but also because Sister Damai had really mastered the method of making dry noodles.

Seeing various beautiful embroidered bags containing various bean crops, I knew they belonged to my second aunt.

The second aunt has a sharp temper, but her embroidery skills are excellent, and even the small cloth bags she makes are more exquisite than others.

She couldn't bear to use it to store dry goods, so it was better to use it to store medicinal materials.

Mo Xiujin's eyes turned red as she held a basket of dried sweet potatoes. These were dried sweet potatoes dried by her third aunt, specially for her 'Xiao Pan'.

In addition to all kinds of food, among the things Grandpa Shen gave, there was one thing that made Dong Su happy the most. That is Maojian tea from the three major carts.

They are all newly picked this year from our own tea mountain. If these teas are sold to the Jiang family, they can fetch a lot of money.

But Grandpa Shen didn't sell even a tael of tea, so he packed it all and sent it to Youzhou.

Nowadays, tea in Youzhou is more valuable than salt and sugar. Those foreigners do not recognize gold, silver and copper coins, and only trade with salt, sugar and tea.

This was proposed by the first foreigner who had accumulated a thousand points and carried a thousand baskets of coke. His condition was to move to the city with his user registration in exchange for a pound of tea.

Then Ling Moxiao seized this opportunity, met with the foreigner, and proposed a deal to him for war horses.

Let him enter Northern Xinjiang as a merchant and exchange horses with small tribes in Northern Xinjiang. He will return the materials needed by the tribe.

The foreigner said he wanted to go back and discuss with the clan leader, so Ling Moxiao generously gave him two kilograms of tea, five kilograms of brown sugar and twenty kilograms of salt as gifts for him to take back.

This was the sincerity of the Han people. He knew that they did not want to see the Tatars as their enemies, so Ling Moxiao did not mention letting them spy on the Tatar military planes at all.

Just talking about horse business, when walking in northern Xinjiang, just write down the route.

There was no reply from this foreigner for several days. Jiasi became anxious: "My lord, will they be unwilling?"

Ling Moxiao was not in a hurry at all. The Tatars were a major event in Daxia that lasted for hundreds of years, so how could he be in a hurry!

"If they don't want to do it, there are other tribes. There are always people who are willing to take risks."

When the second alien who had accumulated one thousand points was received by Jia Si, he was given the same gift and made the same promise.

Then came the third and fourth times, when the news spread that as long as they did horse business with the Tatars, they could exchange supplies from King Ling of Daxia.

In the deep mountains of Mobei, countless alien tribes are beginning to prepare for action. Although the cold winter has returned, the cold and desolation of last winter, lack of food and clothing, and the situation of countless tribesmen starving to death and freezing to death are still vivid in their minds.

They were driven out of their homes by the Tatars and hid in the mountains, living an extremely difficult life.

In order to survive the coming winter, we have to take action!

Only one tribe wanted to cooperate with the Han people, and the second and third tribes offered thousands of gold to buy horse bones. The first one who agreed was given a generous reward by Ling Moxiao.

With supplies sent from Chang'an, Jiangnan, Guangzhou and other places, and most importantly, several ships of food sent by the Jiang family, Ling Moxiao finally had the confidence to start this long-term plan.

In July, several foreign caravans quietly entered the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, carrying the Tatars' favorite supplies such as tea, salt, sugar, cloth, and pottery.

They were familiar with the route and avoided large tribes. They only traded horses with small tribes and purchased wool and rabbit skins.

Horse trading is Ling Moxiao's business, and purchasing wool and rabbit skins is Shen Dongsu's business.

Liu Guanjia's textile workshop is already very skilled in wool spinning technology.

In the past, transportation was inconvenient, but now with the Jiang family's ship, it is not a problem at all, so we can purchase wool with confidence.

As for the rabbit skin, it is a conspiracy carried out by Shen Dongsu against the Tatars.

If the food exchanged by catching rabbits and skinning them is enough to survive the winter, will ordinary small tribes follow the big tribes to plunder the borders of Daxia?

Especially since they can't grab much, people will die, the big tribe eats meat, and the small tribe they follow can't even take a few sips of soup, will anyone be willing to follow them?

This plan may not be effective in one or two years, but what about three or five years?

You can get food just by catching rabbits. I believe many people will not risk their lives anymore.

The same goes for harvesting wool, it’s all about taking money out of the pot!

If it were just like this, it would be a conspiracy. Even Mr. Pang praised the princess's plan. Although the results of the princess's plan were slow, once it was successful, it would bring unpredictable losses to the royal family of Northern Xinjiang!

Then Shen Dongsu said the insidious part of this plan, that is, as long as rabbits can make money, ordinary northern Xinjiang herdsmen will let the wild rabbits flourish, and maybe even raise rabbits.

Rabbits are good at digging holes and will destroy the pasture. If the northern Xinjiang grassland is filled with holes, the grassland will be destroyed.

Then their horses would easily kick their hooves, and their cattle and sheep would have to graze farther away.

If the top management reacts and does not allow ordinary herdsmen to raise rabbits, they will lose the 'popular support'.

If we continue to ignite the situation in the dark, it will become even more difficult for the already divided tribes in northern Xinjiang to unite.

Shen Dongsu even thought of a more insidious move:

"There must be poisonous grass growing on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang that cattle and sheep cannot eat. If we buy this grass at a high price, we will say it is a precious herbal medicine."

"When they allow this poisonous weed to grow or even start planting it, we will stop harvesting it..."

Well, it’s not that Dong Su is making excuses for herself, it’s just that she’s seen too many things in her previous life, and such a conspiracy is readily available!

Isn’t this how beautiful countries deal with small countries?

Isn’t this how capitalists exploit ordinary people?

We use it to deal with the enemy, and the merit will last forever, and it will not damage our moral character!

She said with a smile, but Mr. Pang and others were stunned for a while. They always thought of attacking Northern Xinjiang from a military perspective.

Who would have thought of this!

Princess Ling is worthy of being a peasant girl, and she can think of war from the perspective of the common people at the bottom.

To say that the princess is a peasant girl here is not derogatory at all, it is even a sign of pride, it is a compliment.

If the prince marries a noble girl who has no regard for grain and grain, can he think of these things?

Can you write that touching and tearful letter about poverty? Can you bring so much supplies to Youzhou?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shen Dongsu hurriedly said:

"This is just my humble opinion. No matter how useful this strategy is, we won't lose much."

Mr. Pang said hurriedly: "No, no, the princess's plans are so detailed. I was so fascinated by them that I didn't respond."

"If the princess has other plans, just speak freely."

Ling Mo Xiao looked at her with a smile on his face. Every time he heard her being praised, Ling Mo Xiao had this expression.

A look of pride.

Seeing that Mr. Pang really thought it was useful, Shen Dongsu mentioned a few more points:

"Although Tatar women have a low status, noble women always have some say."

"If the foreigners can successfully trade with Northern Xinjiang, I think they can also do some women's business, like the rouge and gouache, which women love very much."

"When doing business with them, it's easier to place spies and get information."

Mr. Pang nodded again. In the past, Youzhou City did not have the strength to think about anything else. Even having enough food and clothing was a problem. All they could do was defend the city.

Now, with the arrival of Princess Ling, these survival problems have been solved. It is time to start a long-term plan to deal with Northern Xinjiang.

Furthermore, Youzhou City's reliance on external support materials alone will be a waste of money and is not a long-term solution.

You still have to make money yourself. Regarding this, Shen Dongsu has already thought of several businesses.

The most important business is at sea. The team that went to see the harbor has returned safely, and the Jiang family has also been transported to Youzhou Sea.

Although the seaport has not yet been built and it takes some effort to deliver goods, it is finally possible to deliver goods.

The offshore area of ​​Youzhou Sea is covered with kelp like weeds. It is called sea cabbage locally and is mainly used to feed pigs.

The team brought back a lot and suggested building a pig farm along the coast to provide food for the army.

After Shen Dongsu stewed the kelp and pork, and then mixed a shredded kelp, and the whole camp had a meal, anyone who mentioned feeding kelp to the pigs would be beaten!

If you feed such delicious food to pigs, are you asking me to compete with the pigs for food?

After Dongsu dried the kelp in the sun, he taught the cook how to soak it and cook it. Everyone discovered that the kelp comes with sea salt.

Just soak a thin sheet and you can cook a big pot, add some meat and oil, it’s easy food and easy food!

"This has spread to the mainland of the Central Plains. Isn't it better than pickles? People who can't afford salt can use vinegar cloth as salt. This is not as good as vinegar cloth!"

The cooks of the Youzhou Army regretted it to death. They felt that they were so stupid. Such good pickles were right at their doorstep, but they actually ate vinegar cloth for several months!

Just as a dish, it may not be accepted by mainlanders for a while. Princess Ling, a famous doctor, personally endorsed it and frankly said that eating kelp has many benefits!

Ordinary people can prevent big neck disease by eating it, women can beautify their skin by eating it, and the elderly can nourish themselves...

First promoted by the imperial doctors, and then introduced by the restaurants under the Jiang family, the new dishes made from kelp were delicious, delicious and began to attract nobles and nobles at high prices.

When the quantity increases, it will be sold to the people at a low price that is close to the people.

In addition to kelp, there is another seaweed, Gelidium.

The value of this for cooking is limited, but with this thing, you can knead it into glue, so you can make a lot of food.

The north is rich in milk resources. With Gelidium, you can make toffee. Sold to Chang'an Xungui, it is a high-priced aristocratic snack.

With food glue, it can also be used to make toothpaste and other daily necessities.

Things used by nobles these days are all extremely expensive. The green salt used for brushing teeth is fine, and the homemade tooth powder is made of all kinds of expensive ingredients.

If she makes a toothpaste with pearl powder and sells it more expensive than gold, nobles will pay for it.

At the same time, this can also be added to the ointment and grease. Wild ginseng grows in the forests of the Mobei Mountains. Using wild ginseng and gum resin as raw materials to make a facial ointment will definitely make those noble ladies flock to it.

She thought of so much business with just two items, let alone ordinary sun-dried fish and dried shrimps.

Now Youzhou is the real Great Northern Wilderness. As long as she is given time, she will definitely turn this place into another land of plenty!

She told Prince Ling about her plan, and still received full support.

In order to reassure her, Ling Moxiao told her that the road to the seaside was sparsely populated and the Tatars did not pay much attention to it.

The Tatars are afraid of water and never go near the sea. They only focus on Youzhou City.

Therefore, if you send someone to the beach, nothing will happen.

He will first build a military base on the seaside. After it is completed, Dong Su can lead people to build a workshop with confidence and boldness.

Before the workshop was completed, only kelp business could be done, and of course seaweed.

Compared with kelp, which can be fed to pigs, nori is said to not be eaten by pigs. It's sticky and doesn't look like something edible.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, but he didn’t taste the grass in the sea!
