How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Not hearing what he wanted to hear, the emperor suddenly said with a cold face: "My dear friends, is this all you see from this secret letter?"

Several of his close ministers had actually known for a long time that the secret letter in front of them, including the secret letter they circulated some time ago, was sent by Eunuch Li and Eunuch Peng sent by the emperor.

These ministers from Beijing and Shanghai, like the ministers in the DPRK, all hate the eunuchs in the West Factory and the East Factory.

In their view, the eunuchs in the palace did almost all evil.

Some succeed less than others and fail more than others. They want to have a hand in whatever others do.

Some are still secretly embezzling money, bending the law, selling their official positions, and setting up bridges for others at will.

Some relatives of eunuchs, taking advantage of the presence of people in their palace, behaved arrogantly and domineeringly, and invaded other people's farmland at will.

Some even deliberately made friends with princes, hoping to imitate Lu Buwei back then. In an attempt to put those princes and princes on the throne.

Since the founding of the dynasty, there have been too many things done by the eunuchs in the palace. Therefore, the ministers in the court, especially those from powerful and well-established families, naturally dislike the eunuchs in the palace.

She is too rich to express her displeasure directly on her face.

Therefore, even if these close ministers in front of the emperor looked down upon Eunuch Li and Eunuch Peng, they would not deliberately say anything wrong about them at this moment.

Someone chose to circumvent the situation and apply eye drops to the eunuch named Peng.

"Long live Lord~, actually, Wei Chen thought, Eunuch Peng and Eunuch Li live in the palace all year round. They are not like you, Long live Lord, who often bend bows, shoot arrows, and hunt on horseback. I guess General Wang will see them. , feeling that their bodies were delicate and weak, not comparable to those farmers in the countryside. He was worried that they would delay the military situation, so he did not take them there..."

"Yes, long live the Lord! These marching and fighting people have to endure so much hardship. Ordinary men can't bear it, let alone those women and father-in-law. The minister also feels that General Wang will not take them northward, there is a certain It makes sense. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If they delay the military situation, how can we still fight? How can we win the war? "

"Long live my lord~, Wei Chen thinks that Lord Yuan is right...

After these close ministers said these words to each other, the emperor suddenly became speechless.

Because he himself was convinced by them.

He felt that what they said was quite right.

The physical strength and energy of the people who have been waiting in the deep palace for a long time are still incomparable to those who hang out in the military camp all year round.

Besides, the elite troops led by General Wang were on a forced march. You have to run three to five hundred miles a day.

Marching and fighting are so hard, how can Eunuch Li and Eunuch Peng endure it with their bodies?

The emperor trusted them both and didn't want to lose them just like that, so he nodded slightly and suddenly talked about commendations and rewards.

The few confidants below saw that he had changed the story. After they looked at each other quickly, they followed the emperor's wishes and talked about the imperial court's reward for the three armies.

……

Nowadays, the Ministry of Finance has enough money, and the emperor is generous.

Soon, the court's awards were distributed quickly.

...Chen Yixuan was taken care of and promoted by General Wang, and got a medium-sized official. He served as a centurion and was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

His brother Chen Yixing, like him, also held the position of centurion and was also rewarded with ten taels of silver.

However, due to the war in the north, there was a shortage of food.

Even if the imperial court thought of a way to bring all the food from the Jiangnan area, water from far away could not quench the thirst for nearness, and prices in this generation began to rise rapidly.

Before the war, especially when the weather was good, the food here was only five to ten cents a pound.

The most expensive Japonica rice costs up to 40 Wen per kilogram.

However, the price of japonica rice at this time has risen to 200 cents per pound. Only extremely wealthy families can afford it.

Even landowners with hundreds of acres of land at home can only eat sorghum rice every meal at the moment.

At this time, there were too many refugees. The twenty taels of silver earned by brothers Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing were quickly used up.

Knowing that if the war continues, the people will not have a good life. General Wang could only continue to fight at the request of the imperial court.

This battle lasted for more than a month.

It was not until the end of April or the beginning of May that most of the Huns in the north suddenly moved north, and then they were released back to their hometown.

……

At this time, Chen Feiyan, who had been fighting for her husband, sons, eldest brother and nephew, was worried and anxious.

These people have become her relatives, and she doesn't want anything to happen to them.

Chen Feiyan was very excited when she saw her husband again after half a year.

She looked at the familiar man in front of her and couldn't help crying.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu daddy, I finally see you!"

"Are you okay? Are the kids okay?"

Chen Yixuan held her in his arms, feeling very happy and excited.

"Okay, okay, we're all fine!"

"Have you received the five taels of silver I asked someone to bring you? Have you eaten on time recently? Look at you, why have you lost weight again?"

Because they served as low-level military attachés in the military camp, brothers Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing were able to receive military pay every year.

Regardless of whether they are fighting or not, they have to stay in the military camp for half a month every month. Be ordered by the people above.

Although they can only get one tael of silver distributed by the court a year. However, having this little money is better than having none.

After they received the award from the court, they were able to give Chen Feiyan five taels of silver in one go, because they had done their best.

Fighting outside is risky.

Most of the time, soldiers have to bring all their own weapons and equipment to the battlefield.

There were many officials in the imperial court who were colluding with each other. Not only do they embezzle military salaries, they also like to make a fuss about military camp weapons and equipment.

Especially those who are engaged in purchasing, all of them are like rats, with fat and oily bellies.

However, if they eat too much, the people below will suffer.

When soldiers are fighting the enemy on the battlefield, if they want to keep their chains intact, it is best for them to have carefully prepared weapons. Otherwise, they will lose their lives accidentally.

Because both brothers Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing knew the importance of equipment, as soon as they received the silver reward from the court, they quickly found a reliable blacksmith and spent fourteen taels of silver to make two sharp weapons. A long knife, and two sets of bows and arrows.

Of the remaining six taels of silver, one tael was used for chewing by their brothers and several other children, and the remaining five taels of silver were sent to the female relatives and several immature children at home.

Chen Yixing had no objection at all to his brother's arrangements.

In the army, his younger brother's prestige grew.

It was thanks to him that I became a centurion.

Another one, his son and his younger brother's sons are all in the team led by his younger brother.

It's absolutely right to listen to his arrangements.
