Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Shen Yuan guessed that this "difficulty" should come from the queen or Prime Minister Zhou, and it could not be Emperor Qianyuan, otherwise Emperor Qianyuan would not have handed over the world commercial firm to her.

Of course, this is just her guess, everything can only be figured out when Zhang Neng comes.

It will take about half a month to travel day and night from the capital to Wantian County. During this time, I will develop the scar-removing ointment at home. As for the stores of Tianxia Commercial Bank in other states and cities, I will wait for Ji Xun to gain a firm foothold in the capital. Otherwise, if there is any disturbance, the princelings will be even more afraid.

"Sister Yu'an, how is brother Ah Xun?" Shen Yu'an had just put away the letter when Bai Yixue stood outside the door with a concerned face.

"Axue, come in." Shen Yuan smiled and waved to Bai Yixue, Bai Yixue smiled and entered the room.

Ever since the Bai family was ransacked, she had never smiled again. It was the first time Shen Yuan saw her smile, and her heart was quite sour. She must have known that her father would be rehabilitated, and the deep-rooted hatred in her heart finally disappeared. some.

"Axue, sit down." Shen Yuan moved the stool to her, and the two sat facing each other.

"Axue Bingxue is smart, can you guess the real identity of your brother-in-law Ah Xun?" Shen Yuan asked directly.

"En." Bai Yixue nodded, and looked at Shen Yuan seriously, "Brother-in-law Ah Xun is His Royal Highness the King of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

"You guessed it early on, right?" Shen Yuan was not surprised, Bai Yixuechen was born in the Prime Minister's family, this kind of background is destined to be more clearly understood than her who has no social experience.

"Yes, but Sister Yu'an~~~" Bai Yixue grabbed Shen Yu'an's hand anxiously, "You don't blame me for not telling you, do you? Time to want to live in seclusion~~
"Silly sister, how can I get angry so easily?" Shen Yuan patted the back of her hand with a smile, "Ah Xun already told me a few months ago, otherwise how could I have taken over Tianxia Commercial Company?"
"Well, I guess so." Bai Yixue nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law Ah Xun has been in Beijing for many days, so he should have recovered his status as the Night King?"

"Yes." Shen Yuan nodded.

Bai Yixue's eyes showed excitement, "In the future, with the assistance of His Royal Highness Ye Wang, it will be a hundred times easier for Afeng to return to Daqi to restore his identity or ascend to the throne of Daqi."

"That's right, so after I develop the scar-removing ointment, I'm going to start treating Ah Feng's amnesia."

"Sister Yu'an's medical skills are so superb, she will definitely be able to restore Ah Feng's memory."

"I hope so."

The two chatted for a while, Shen Yu'an continued to tinker with the scar cream, and Bai Yixue ran to the village to find Ji Feng who had been wild for a long time, and began to urge him to practice kung fu.

Under the guidance of this strict teacher, Ji Feng's kung fu improved a lot. In the evening, after Shen Yu'an finished his work, the three of them had a competition in the backyard. Unexpectedly, Bai Yixue's kung fu was not much worse than Shen Yu'an's.

Shen Yuan was amazed but also admired, the two heavy sandbags tied to Bai Yixue's legs had never been removed, and she practiced hard for revenge.

In the evening, I killed a chicken and mixed it with chicken soup, and the three of them ate a delicious meal like a holiday.

After eating and washing, they played chess for a while, and each rested.

The next morning, I continued to develop the scar-removing ointment. The scar-removing ointment is not so easy to make. Many kinds of medicinal materials have to be refined slowly, so there is no rush.

In the afternoon, Axue took Afeng to practice kung fu, and Shen Yuan decided to go to the winery. There was a locust plague recently, and it was too wasteful to use rice and grain to make wine, and everyone had nothing to eat.

But potatoes have been planted for two seasons, and they are harvested abundantly everywhere. Maybe they can be used to make wine.

Shen Yuan decided to ask Uncle Shen to try it, and went to the winery.

Not long after leaving the yard, I saw many uncles and aunts picking potatoes there. Seeing Shen Yuan coming over, they stopped what they were doing and greeted with a smile.

"Miss Shen, where are you going?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just looked around." Shen Yuan squatted down on the edge of the field, looked at the mountains of potatoes in the field, and said pleasantly: "Wow~~ What a bumper harvest, this is more productive than rice."

"Isn't it?" the aunt said cheerfully, "I weighed again, even if the price is lower than rice, you can sell it for more money than rice."

"How much is a stone?" Shen Yuan inquired.

The aunt said a low price, "It's not expensive, and it can be planted for two seasons everywhere, and the yield is high. Every household digs several cellars for storage, and sells everything that can't fit."

The uncle couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Our Great Zhou Kingdom has a good emperor. If the emperor hadn't sympathized with the people to find this kind of crops that locusts don't eat, the people's food would have been exhausted by this time, and many people would have starved to death."

"Isn't it the Western Regions? The plague of locusts has caused mourning. I heard that a few days ago, many refugees came from the Western Regions to sell their sons and daughters for food. If we didn't have a good emperor in Dazhou, we might have dragged our children along." The girl is begging!'
"What's the use of begging? Every family has no food, and they are so hungry that they can't stand Yizi and eat. I don't know how desperate it is."

The uncle and aunt wiped away tears while talking.

Shen Yu'an had seen the tragic situation after the locust plague, the scene where not even a leaf was seen, and he could imagine the desperate situation he would fall into after there was no food.

Accompanied by my uncle and aunt for a while, I went to Shauguping.

Before arriving at Shauguping, I heard the commotion over there, as if they were discussing some important matter.

"Hello, folks in Shenjia Village, I am the head of Lishui Village, and this time I have the cheek to borrow food from you.

Shen Yuan heard the blunt Central Plains dialect, and followed the voice.

A dark-faced, sad-faced man wearing exotic clothes stood on a stone bench, the wrinkles on his face weathered.Shen Yuan went over to watch, and there were people talking beside him.

"This is from the Western Regions, the village head of Lishui Village.

"Yeah, Lishui Village is not far from our village. There are a few mountains to the west, and there is a grassland over there."

Shen Yuan leaned over curiously, "Did they also suffer from locusts? Why didn't they grow potatoes?"

A sister-in-law said: "Harm~~ They are herdsmen, raising cattle and sheep. I heard that a large number of locusts could not find food in the Central Plains, and they all went to the Western Regions. The grass on the grassland was eaten up. All starved to death.'
That's the case, Shen Yuan nodded silently.

Over there, after the head of Lishui Village said a few words, the head of Shenjia Village stood up.

"Do you still remember the locust plague in the eighth year of Qiheng? Other villages don't know about it, but our Shenjia Village borrowed [-] sheep from Lishui Village, sold them for food, and saved the lives of our entire village."

Before the village chief could finish speaking, the patriarch squeezed up and said excitedly, "When the plague broke out after the locust plague, countless cattle and sheep died, and the two hundred sheep were made by them with all their efforts. We must repay such a great kindness. "
