I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 816 Ruthless
Zhou Yu was quite haggard when he went to Mou City this time. He was already old and had been traveling outside Mou City for many days, so his whole body was tanned a lot.

Yang Xi counted the things that Zhou Yu brought back. The most expensive ones were medicinal materials such as caterpillar fungus, followed by top-quality fur, and the rest were all food, and there was actually a lot of beef jerky.

When Zhou Yu came back from washing, Yang Xi was eating beef jerky with her son. She liked the original beef the most, followed by the spicy jerky.

Zhou Yu looked a little greedy, so he also sat down and ate, "It still smells like dried beef."

Zilu's cheeks hurt a little, but he couldn't help but continue to gnaw, "Father, the drought in the grassland has started to kill cattle?"

Hua Guo did not dare to kill cattle. The crime of killing cattle is very serious, and it can only be beef from the grassland.

Zhou Yu ate spicy food, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Well, a batch of old cows were slaughtered in the grassland."

He was lucky enough to be able to buy two boxes, and the beef jerky in Moucheng was sold out as soon as it was released.

Yang Xi ate a lot of jerky, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief, "Let's leave one box and send the other box to Ziheng."

The eldest son should be the most healthy in the family, and I don't know if the eldest son has lost weight again!
Zhou Yu said: "Send some more caterpillar fungus and furs."

"I'm going to make cloaks and padded clothes for Ziheng myself, so I don't have to send furs there alone."

Yang Xi was afraid that if she sent the fur over, her son would sell it at a high price, but she heard Zilu say that a lot of his son's valuables were sold to subsidize the orphanage.

Zhou Yu nodded, "I left someone to buy Cordyceps in Moucheng, and if this batch is gone, there will be more in the future."

Yang Xi has already distributed the Cordyceps, relatives and friends will give some, and she will send ginseng and Cordyceps to Master, who has taught her all these years.

Zhou Yu waited for his youngest son and Zhenyuan Zhenxin to leave before he said, "I suspect that a mine has been found on the grassland."

Yang Xi sat up straight, "Why do you doubt?"

Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "I have been sending people to follow Lukov. He has been in contact with the grassland merchants all the time in Moucheng. I thought they cooperated. I didn't know until I investigated clearly that this person investigated an area belonging to the Which tribe's territory."

Yang Xi narrowed his eyes, "It's really possible to find minerals."

Zhou Yu looked serious, "I wanted to go to the grassland, but unfortunately the border guards wouldn't let me go."

Speaking of this is both angry and funny. The guards of Mou City were afraid that something would happen to him in the grassland. They could not bear this responsibility, and they were also worried about his safety. left the capital.

Yang Xi stared, "The grassland is in a drought, and you wrote a letter last time and said that there are many refugees from the grassland at the border. How dare you go out of the border?"

Knowing that he was wrong, Zhou Yu touched his nose, "I just want to see for myself if there are veins."

Yang Xi snorted, "Can you write to Xixuan?"

"I have written a secret letter and sent it back, and the refugees on the border of Mou City are also a problem. Last time, the heavy rain accumulated puddles on the border, but sooner or later the water will run out, and the refugees on the border will be in danger."

Yang Xi sighed, "Refugees gathered at the border due to the snow disaster last year, because the imperial court gave some help in the peace agreement, and now the grassland refugees gathered at the border again."

Zhou Yu sighed, "It's a hard life. If God is in a good mood, life will be easier. Once there is a natural disaster, the people will have no way to survive."

Yang Xi didn't want to mention natural disasters, she talked about Zhou Ziyu, "They want to study in the college you built, and they will return to Huizhou after the children's entrance examination next year."

Zhou Yu frowned, "The family can teach them, why waste the time on the round trip?"

"It's probably because you and a few members of the Zhou family are in the capital."

Zhou Yu asked, "Have they already entered the academy?"

"No, I sent a person to teach them, and currently control their freedom of movement."

If it hadn't been for the patriarch's reply letter, she would have driven them back long ago.

The patriarch was also annoyed by the trouble. The clan thought they wanted to come to the capital to have a look. They would bear the consequences if they failed the exam next year. Everyone in the clan said so, so Yang Xi didn't want to kick him out.

Zhou Yu frowned, "I will arrange for them to enter the academy, but I am responsible for the daily expenses."

Yang Xi smiled, "That's what I told them, they are responsible for their own basic necessities."

The four farmers' markets built in the capital have been completed, and there are already people setting up stalls in the market to sell vegetables and fish. The consumption in the capital is not low. For the boys in the clan, food, clothing, housing and transportation are not a small expense.

Don't look at the many children of the Zhou family who passed the exams to become officials in the south, but they can't accept bribes. They can only live on a monthly salary, and there is nothing left for their monthly salary to raise a family and their parents in their hometown.

Therefore, the clansmen in the family did enjoy Zhou Yu's glory, but they still didn't have a rich family fortune to squander at will.

The drama script edited by Ziheng spread rapidly, and the discussion became polarized, but the effect of popularizing the law was remarkable. No matter what the families and men thought, women could no longer be treated as objects in private.

There were also several reconciliation cases in the capital, and those who dared to reconcile were women with strong personalities. These women were very clever in seizing the opportunity to reconcile.

The capital is under construction, there are too many job opportunities, and the lack of manpower requires an increase in wages. As long as you work hard, you can not only support yourself but also save some money.

The heat of summer is rising day by day, and the drought on the grassland is getting worse. The border of Moucheng provides water for the refugees, and there has been no major disturbance so far.

In Jiaozhou, the envoy sent by Yang Xixuan to the grassland has returned. The envoy has suffered a great crime this time. The journey is full of withered grass. Not only can there be no water source, but also beware of fires everywhere.

There are too many withered grasses in the grassland, and once a fire is formed, it will be connected into pieces. As long as you are surrounded by fire, you can't even think about surviving.

Yang Xixuan got the accurate news, Hu Le Yazan came back with the messenger, and Hu Le Yazan's purpose was only one grain.

Yang Xixuan called the important ministers to discuss. The ministers did not want to fight, not because they were afraid of the grassland, but because the north needed to recuperate.

Hulechina has already launched wars against some small countries to alleviate the drought pressure on the grasslands, but Hulechina is still short of food.

Ming Chen meant, "We can sell some food."

The old god Han Chenhui is here, he seldom appears in the court, except for some important things, he has been recuperating in the mansion, the wars these years have left too many hidden wounds, and now he only wants to live until his grandson grows up in the future.

Han Chenhui can't just have ears but no mouth today. He has dealt with the grassland the most. After everyone finished speaking, he said, "I mean to exchange land with food and supplies."

Anyway, the food will come out sooner or later, so it's better to replace it with something more practical.

The ministers saw a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, come on, the words of Han Guogong have reached the emperor's heart.
