The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 65 The War Begins

The banquet ended quickly because the imperial teacher could no longer sit still at the banquet. As soon as the imperial teacher left, the emperor also returned to the palace.

The ministers also left the palace with their families. The next day, the imperial teacher submitted a memorial, announcing his departure from the Dayu Dynasty and returning to their Tianqi Kingdom.

The Imperial Master originally wanted to kill Wang Jingyi in the Dayu Dynasty, for fear of causing the Emperor's wrath and that he would not be able to leave the Dayu Dynasty.

So he could only take Wang Jingyi with him. Before leaving, the emperor gave Wang Jingyi two boxes of clothes as a dowry.

The imperial teacher was so angry that he cried out, this emperor was really good at fooling people, he just sent two boxes of clothes as a superficial gesture.

These days, the Imperial Master no longer treated Wang Jingyi as a human being, and tortured her in bed every day. Wang Jingyi served the Imperial Master every day, and was so tired that her whole body ached and was covered with scars.

Wang Jingyi knew that she was no longer of any use. If she did not serve the Imperial Master well, she would die.

After they left the city, the people sent by the War King followed them secretly, fearing that the national teacher of Tianqi Kingdom would cause trouble in their Dayu Dynasty.

When Old Lady Wang heard that her granddaughter had gone to Tianqi Kingdom, she no longer had the mood to show off.

Li Mei came to the city gate to see her daughter off, but she didn't even see him. Wang Jingyi wanted to come out, but was stopped by the imperial teacher.

Li Mei returned home, crying bitterly, and knelt in front of Old Lady Wang, begging her to find Wang Jingru to find a way to get her daughter back.

Old Mrs. Wang had no choice but to return to the Sinong Mansion. When she returned to the courtyard where she lived with Old Man Wang, Old Man Wang's face turned cold and he said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"

Why did you come back? Wang Jingyi became a princess of another country and went to Tianqi Country. Is there no one to take care of you in your old age?

Old Mrs. Wang said angrily, how can you be so cruel? After all, Jingyi is our granddaughter.

What good can come from being taken to Tianqi Country? I came back to beg Jingru to think of a way to get Jingyi back.

Old man Wang said angrily that Jingru was just a princess, what could he do? I think you are deliberately making things difficult for Jingru.

She has been conferred the title of princess, but the princess she was conferred is not from our country. She is the princess of Tianqi Kingdom. She does not go back to Tianqi Kingdom and stays in Dayu Dynasty. Do you think the emperor of our Dayu Dynasty can tolerate her?

You are a woman who knows nothing, so you should not get involved in this matter. This is related to the peace between the two countries. If you blindly get involved, don't let our Wang family get involved.

Old Mrs. Wang curled her lips and said unconvincedly, "How can I involve the entire Wang family in this? Isn't it just to rescue Jingyi?"

You're making a fuss all day long. How do you know Jingru has no way out when you haven't even gone to ask for help?

If you don't go, I'll go by myself. After saying that, Mrs. Wang walked out, and Old Man Wang said loudly, "Come back here."

Old man Wang took two steps at a time and dragged old lady Wang back into the house. This time, old man Wang was really ruthless and slapped old lady Wang twice.

After being slapped twice, Old Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted, "How dare you hit me? I'm going to fight you."

Then Old Lady Wang ran over and started scratching Old Man Wang. This time Old Man Wang was really angry and started wrestling with Old Lady Wang.

The maid who was guarding outside hurried to look for Wang Laosan, and when she ran to the front yard and found Wang Laosan, she said, "Sir, sir, something bad has happened. The old man and the old lady are fighting."

Wang Laosan was very anxious when he heard this, so he asked the maid,

When did the old lady come back? The maid said she came back just a while ago. After she came back, she started arguing with the old man, and then they started fighting.

When Wang Laosan arrived, the two were still fighting. Wang Laosan and the maid took great pains to separate the two.

After they separated, Wang Laosan said, "Dad and Mom, how old are you and why are you still fighting?"

Old Man Wang said, "Don't worry about it. Third brother, go back and don't worry about your mother. She is planning to destroy our Wang family."

Old Mrs. Wang said unconvincedly, how could I destroy the Wang family? What did I do?

Old man Wang said, "Don't you know what you did?" Old man Wang said to Wang Lao San. I don't know how Jingyi got involved with the national master of Tianqi.

Being named a princess is in itself treason. If anyone in the court wants to deal with my third child, they will tell you about the crime of treason and our whole family will be executed.

Old Lady Wang said it was not that serious. Whether it was that serious or not depended on whether someone reported my third son. If someone reported my third son, it would be very choking for him.

I told you not to get involved, but you got angry with me. You are really short-sighted. This time, Mrs. Wang was silent.

Seeing that she could not help, Old Lady Wang hurriedly left Sinong Mansion and returned to the small courtyard where Li Mei and the others lived.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, Li Mei and Liu Cao came out to greet me. "Mom, what's wrong? Is there any way to save Jingru? Can you save Jingyi?"

Old Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "There was nothing they could do. Your father also said that Jingyi being named a princess by the Tianqi Kingdom might affect our entire Wang family."

If someone accuses your third brother of treason in front of the emperor, our entire family will be beheaded.

After hearing this, Li Mei and Liu Cao were frightened out of their wits. Although they loved Wang Jingyi, it was because Wang Jingyi could bring them benefits.

They don't want to be implicated, and they don't want to be beheaded. They haven't lived enough. They are selfish people.

The two people were so scared that they sat on their chairs and didn't come to their senses for a long time.

Besides, it took the imperial teacher of Tianqi Kingdom more than a month to return to his country. When he returned to his country, he reported to the emperor that the princess had died.

The emperor cried bitterly over the loss of his beloved daughter, and blamed the Great Yu Kingdom for the princess's death.

The emperor of Tianqi contacted the Desert Kingdom, hoping that the two countries could join forces to attack the Dayu Dynasty.

The princess of the Desert Kingdom married into the Dayu Dynasty, which was no different from being a widow. Prince Wen ran away. The princess of the Desert Kingdom did not live a good life at all.

The emperor of the Great Desert Kingdom, no matter how much he hated his daughter, did not want her to live a bad life. He wanted to take his daughter back, but was afraid that the Great Yu Dynasty would make trouble.

So the two countries reached an agreement. They originally wanted to let Wu participate, but Wu was originally a small country next to the Dayu Dynasty. Relying on the Dayu Dynasty, otherwise Tianqi and Dame would have annexed it long ago.

The State of Wu did not participate in their war, and the two countries concentrated their forces on the border.

The emperor of Dayu was furious when he heard this. The princess of Dame was in his own country, but he dared to attack his own country.

The emperor ordered his men to imprison the princess of the Desert Kingdom, and then sent troops to the border. The Dayu Dynasty was in the east, the Tianqi Kingdom was in the west, the Wu Kingdom was in the north, and the Desert Kingdom was in the south. The emperor sent General Yu Wenhua to the west to attack the Tianqi Kingdom.

He sent the War King Wu Tianyang to the south to attack the Desert Kingdom. Both sides sent 50 troops, but the emperor was worried at this time!

Before the troops move, the food and grass must be sent first, but the treasury is now empty. A million-man army! When not fighting, they only eat one meal a day. When fighting, they have to eat two meals a day. How much food do they need?

Wang Jingru's potatoes were very good, with one acre of land producing more than 3000 kilograms. It might be that they didn't know how to plant or they planted them poorly.

But even so, the yield is considerable, but it has not yet been developed! It has not been planted on a large scale. There was a drought this year. Now it is autumn and the crop yield is not high. Where can we get so much food?

The emperor was worried, so Wang Jingru went to the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor was worried about food and had no time to meet Wang Jingru, but he heard from the eunuch beside him that Wang Jingru had important matters.

The emperor summoned Wang Jingru absentmindedly. Wang Jingru knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, I, Wang Jingru, pay my respects to the emperor." The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up!"

Wang Jingru, what do you want to see me for? Wang Jingru said, Your Majesty, I still have some food to donate to the soldiers of the three armies. When the emperor heard the word food, he stood up excitedly.

Princess Jingru! How much food do you have, Your Majesty? You forgot that you gave me a hundred acres of good land, and I also bought several million acres of good land.

We harvested two crops this year, and I have transported all the grain to the farm outside the imperial city.

The emperor was very excited to hear that he would have one million kilograms of grain. He had been worried about food for days and couldn't sleep at night.

The emperor was very happy and asked him to give her gold and silver as a reward. He didn't have any and couldn't bear to give them away, so what could he give her? The emperor immediately wrote an imperial decree, conferring the title of Princess Jingru on Wang Jingru. He also gave her a hundred acres of good farmland and a certain amount of cloth.

With one million kilograms of grain, his urgent needs were solved.

If we transfer some more grain from the national treasury, it will be enough to hold out for a while.

Wang Jingru actually didn't know how much grain she had, maybe it could be as high as hundreds of millions of pounds, but without a reasonable reason, she didn't dare to take it out.

Wang Jingru thanked him and returned to the mansion. When she returned to the mansion, everyone in the mansion was in an uproar.

Their daughter Jingru was crowned a princess, and Yuwen Jiao was very happy. She celebrated in the mansion and prepared a large table of dishes. The happiest person was Old Man Wang, because their family actually had a princess.

Old Lady Wang and her two daughters-in-law also returned home after hearing what had happened. Yu Wenjiao had never liked them in the first place, but since today was the day her daughter was to be crowned a princess, she didn't bother with them.

The family had a happy dinner. At night, Wang Jingru was very worried because the Desert Kingdom was in the south and her fiancé had gone to attack the Desert Kingdom.

The Great Desert Kingdom is located in the desert, with endless yellow sand and no food at all. Every year, people come to the border of the Dayu Kingdom to burn, kill and rob.

Otherwise they would not be able to survive, without food or water, they would have no way out and would die. They lived there, relying on camels and sheep for a living every year.

Once the two countries go to war, Wu Tianyang will probably be short of food. Without food, how will the soldiers have the strength to fight?

He had to convince his parents and find a way to get to the border between Dayu and Dame.

The Tianqi Kingdom is good at using poison, and when fighting with the Tianqi Kingdom, they are afraid that the Tianqi Kingdom will use shady tactics. This is also what Wang Jingru is most worried about her uncle.

He also had to go to the western border to see the war situation, otherwise she would be worried about her uncle, the relative who loved her the most.

Wang Jingru planned to live alone until the end of her life, because she didn't like anyone in ancient times. Finally, she found someone she liked, who was handsome and her type.

She naturally would not let him get hurt on the battlefield, because she had the ability to do so. She could deliver food and vegetables to the soldiers on the border.

In Wang Jingru's space, poultry is multiplying very fast and there are so many of them that she is worried about where to put them! She went to the border and sent more to the soldiers.

In addition, Wang Jingru's spiritual spring water could cure the poison, so he had to go and give his uncle some spiritual spring water in case of emergency.

Wang Jingru couldn't think of a good solution, so all the clan members of the Wang family rushed to the imperial city. The clan leaders, village heads, and elders of the Wang family all came with their families.

As soon as they entered the imperial city, they asked for the location of Sinong Mansion. When they arrived at the gate of Sinong Mansion, they were in a hurry and were in a mess. When they knocked on the door, the servants in the mansion thought they were begging for food.

After they were driven out, these people could not enter the mansion and could only squat outside the gate of Sinong Mansion.

They couldn't be driven away no matter how hard they tried, so they reported the matter to Wang Laosan. Wang Laosan said that since they were beggars, they could just give them some money or food.

They came to me for such a small matter, saying that not only did they not want the money we gave them, they also scolded us.

These beggars came to see you, sir, and said they were members of the Wang family.

Wang Laosan then followed the servant to the gate, opened the gate, looked outside, and saw the village chief at a glance. When the village chief saw Wang Laosan, he didn't dare to recognize him.

The silk and satin he wears now is no longer tanned like before. Now Wang Laosan no longer does farm work and takes good care of himself. Not only has his skin become whiter, but his temperament has changed and he looks more energetic.

Wang Laosan recognized the village chief and walked quickly forward, "Village chief, why are you here?"

Then he looked at the clan leader and elders standing next to him. A large family. And the rest of the Wang family, all close relatives.

Wang Laosan hurriedly invited people into the mansion. At this time, Old Man Wang also received the news and hurried out to greet them. When they arrived at the hall, all the clan members of the Wang family said that Laosan had made great progress and his children were all capable.

We, the Wang family, will all depend on you for support from now on.

What else could Wang Laosan say? He quickly called Wang Jingru to discuss the matter. Wang Jingru also knew that in ancient times, one must have a family. If one did not even have a family, then it would definitely not work. These people could not live in the mansion when they came, and a house had to be bought for them outside the mansion.

We can't let them live too well. They are originally farmers, so they should be arranged to live on a farm outside the city. Didn't the emperor just reward them with a hundred acres of fertile land?

They were arranged to live in a farm there with so many fields. After building some houses outside the farm, the family members would live there. If the children of the family wanted to study, they would find a few teachers and study together.

After making all these arrangements, Wang Jingru also planned to set off for the border. She first went to her grandparents' house and discussed it with her grandfather. Her grandfather was worried about her, so he decided to go with her in person.

Who in the family would feel comfortable letting an old and a young one go on a long journey?

So Xuanyuan Lei was asked to go with the guards and Wang Jingru, and the old general was asked to stay in the imperial city.

The Yuwen family was worried, but the old general was stubborn and insisted on going with Wang Jingru.

The whole family had no other options, and finally Wang Jingru secretly followed Xuanyuan Lei out of the imperial city. She sneaked away, making General Yuwen Ao so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

The old general could only be angry himself, because Wang Jingru and the others had already left and he couldn't catch up with them even if he wanted to.
