Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

\u003c!--go--\u003eJiangxi Observation Envoy Yang Bide reported that Renzhou alone had harvested hundreds of thousands of dan of grain in the autumn this year.

What a pleasant surprise.

He personally wrote to Pei Nian and asked him to send 100,000 shi of grain to Yuzhang as soon as possible.

He thought that the whole of Jiangxi could be called a land of plenty, but he didn't expect that thousands of hectares of fertile land were left uncultivated, and Jiangxi as a whole did not receive 30% of the grain tax.

The granary is empty enough for a horse race.

How does this work.

Doesn't he want to eat?

How can we manage a bunch of losers without any means to control them?

Sure enough, it’s still Pei Nianxing!

Unexpectedly, he was a scholar and managed Renzhou well. If the whole of Jiangxi is as full of food as Renzhou, why worry about not being able to do something big?

Pei Nian received Shangguan's letter and had a splitting headache.

Where did he collect hundreds of thousands of stones of food? Who spread the false news?

After listening to Su Qingyu's words, he just gave it a try. How could he dare to buy more land?

And he has limited manpower. There are so many hungry people and mobs outside, how can he take care of them?

A lot of the land where we were cultivating was also looted.

In the end, he and Su Qingyu combined didn't get 50,000 stone grain.

In addition to those grown around following the trend and harvested sporadically from various places in Renzhou, the amount of food is less than a hundred thousand dan.

Everyone pays Renzhou’s local taxes in money.

Everyone said there was no food, so he could bring people to grab it?

Less than half of the grain obtained from the land his wife bought with dowry money was sold. If he hadn't forcefully collected it into the state government's grain depot, the people of Renzhou would have nowhere to eat.

One hundred thousand stones were transported!

Where is this number! It is true that a full man will not eat a hungry man.

Don’t the people in his state want food and drink?

Finally, 20,000 stones were collected and transported to Yuzhang.

Yang Xingmi was very dissatisfied when he saw the twenty thousand shi of food. There was another villain talking behind his back, gradually becoming dissatisfied with Pei Nian.

It feels like he collected hundreds of thousands of shi of food before shipping him 20,000 shi! This is not taking his observation seriously.

In addition to Yang Bi who received the news that Renzhou had collected a large amount of grain, others naturally also received the news.

Winter started early this year and was colder than in previous years. No one wanted to go hungry without food, so many people headed to Renzhou.

Let’s talk about Ma Mingwen.

I got a lot of money from Su Qingyu last year and this year.

In the summer, I received food sent from twenty-nine villages, which gave the entire army a good meal. The army granaries were packed to the brim.

For the first time, there was no shortage of food, which made other passers-by see green lights.

And when many people saw that the Ma family's army had food to eat and would not go hungry, more and more people defected to the army and joined the army.

A wave of grain was harvested in the summer, and in autumn, Ma Mingwen received another sum of money and five thousand stones of grain from Su Qingyu.

I was filled with emotion.

As his goddaughter, she is no different from her dear ones.

It was just because his apprentice Lu Bocheng had betrayed him on the battlefield. Lu Bocheng was punished because of him, and he felt guilty.

Only then did he agree to Su Qingyu's request and go into the mountains to help her drive away the bandits. It was just a favor along the way.

I didn't expect to receive such a huge benefit.

From Su Qingyu, he not only got money but also the most precious food. Nowadays, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

The entire army is well fed and their mental outlook is much better.

The quartermaster no longer came to complain to him.

Every day I see him I am happy.

The soldiers were well fed, and they were willing to endure hardships in training. They were all pulled out and treated as if they were ten. The combat effectiveness is much better than other armies.

His combat power is several times that of others.

With food to eat and money to buy better equipment, the military looked completely new.

Some time ago, he received a letter from Ma Xin, saying that Su Qingyu had discovered iron ore. Ma Mingwen had been thinking about this for some time.

He felt that he had to send people to dig out the iron ore.

These days, whoever has a strong fist and speaks up has status.

And how hard is a fist? That means the weapons must be strong.

It's winter, and everyone is in the cold weather. Ma Mingwen also set up camp.

After figuring this out, he gathered a capable team of several hundred people and asked them to take his letters and some local gifts to Renzhou.

In addition to Ma Mingwen's capable team of several hundred people heading to Renzhou, other teams who learned about the grain production in Renzhou and the mountains also followed the trend and headed for Renzhou.

Su Qingyu had no idea that a large-scale fight was about to start around her.

Winter has come, and she only thinks about two things, one is the wheat in the field, and the other is the winter problems of the villagers.

We had a successful winter experience last year. Every village has built a fire pit, and every household has a fire table, fire bucket and other heating equipment. Even if they go out, everyone carries a fire basket.

Not cold at all.

So no matter how cold this winter is, I should be able to survive it.

But when it gets cold this winter, I'm afraid that the animals on the mountain won't be able to find food and will come down the mountain to beg for food.

It would be bad if you were very hungry and wanted to eat people.

Therefore, before winter, Su Qingyu specially arranged various plans in the meeting in Lianzhai to prevent fire, theft, and wild animals in the mountains from being spoiled.

When each village encounters danger, smoke must be lit as a warning.

Now the villages are integrated, and some villages are short of men and have to rely on the collective strength of the villages in the joint village.

After making arrangements, checking everything, and explaining everything to Ma Xin, Su Qingnao went home to Maodong.

Since Wei Fuchang hired Su Qingliu, he has become a frequent visitor to the Su family.

There is one more Su Dahu who is like a godson, and one more quasi-son-in-law is not much.

Wei Fuchang had to burn the kang and firewood alone at home, which was a waste.

If he stayed with the Su family, the Su family wouldn't burn a few more firewood just because there were too many.

Anyway, the family, old and young, has a hot table and a heated kang burning in the house during winter.

Everywhere in the house was warm and cozy.

Xiaobao and Yaya didn't wear much, so they ran around in the house without feeling cold at all.

There were adults feeding them dried meat, roasted millet, and various fried beans. Each of the two children carried a small satchel, and from time to time they would reach in and grab a few beans and throw them into their mouths, which made a crunching sound.

"Grandma, Xiaobao's beans are gone!"

My little hand grabbed into the small bag and found nothing. Xiaobao yelled at his grandmother who loved him the most.

"Hey, Xiaobao's beans are gone? Come, grandma, take a look." As soon as Mother Su heard her grandson's call, she ran over.

Xiaobao grabbed the deflated little satchel, opened it and showed it to Mother Su.

"Hey, there are really none. Then grandma will grab another handful for our little treasure."

"Gonna grab two handfuls."

Will also bargain.

"Okay, grab two handfuls."

"Xiaobao, you've already eaten a handful just now, you can't eat any more." Su Qingyu said distantly.

Xiaobao, who was following Mother Su, paused.

He looked at Su Qingyu aggrievedly.

"Mom, Xiaobao still wants to eat."

"If you eat too much, your stomach will bloate, so you can't eat."

Xiaobao didn't know how to retort, so he pointed at his fingers aggrievedly and glanced at Qingxing: "Auntie still eats."

Qingxing was watching the excitement, but she didn't expect Xiaobao to choke when he mentioned her.

"Auntie is an older child, and you are a child, so you can't eat it." Qing Xing said.

Xiaobao pursed his lips in grievance and bargained with Su Qingyu: "Can't you drink honey water later? There are also meatballs given by Grandpa Ling."

Because the leaves, seeds and ash of the ash tree have some medicinal uses, Su Qingyu gave some to Doctor Mu and Ling Fenggu for them to study.

I also took some digestion and stomach-building meatballs from them and prepared them for Xiaobao and Yaya.

Xiaobao remembered it.

When I talk about my bloated stomach, I mention the meatballs given by Grandpa Ling.

Mother Su felt sorry for her grandson and couldn't bear to see her grandson being unhappy, so she glared at Su Qingyu.

He pulled Xiaobao over and said, "Let's go, grandma, give me a few more pills. If you take a few more pills, you can't eat them, or you'll get a stomachache. Grandma will bake some meat for you and your sister later."

"Okay. It's toasty and delicious."

"Well, it smells good."\u003c!--over--\u003e
