The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Shen Jie wrote a letter to Xing'er, telling her that the Queen Mother sent people to the border, and tried every means to give Chai Yao little shoes to wear.This letter was of great importance, and just as Yan Wushuang was about to go back to Lizhou, Shen Jie entrusted Yan Wushuang with the trust and asked him to pass it on to Xing'er.

A month ago, Yan Wushuang received Xing'er's letter and contract, and immediately wrote a reply and asked someone to take it back.Moreover, according to Xing'er's letter, [-] mu of dry land was purchased in the northwest, and ten families of poor people who suffered from the drought were bought to raise chickens, ducks and geese.

In addition, a few more stores were purchased, and Tianxiang Store and the Northwest Branch of Chaxiang Store were also opened.According to Xing'er's wishes, Tao'er asked Yan Wushuang to buy a hundred acres of fertile land and opened the Northwest Branch of Tianyuan Farm.When Chai Yao's injury recovered to [-]%, the first batch of vegetables in Tianyuan Farm had grown several leaves.In half a month, it will be available for sale.

Apart from supplying [-]% of the vegetables and fruits from the northwest branch of Tianyuan Farm to Xiangmanlou, the rest will be provided free of charge to the Western Expeditionary Army within three years.The farm will also raise [-] chickens, ducks and geese each, and sell [-]% to Xiangmanlou, and the remaining [-]% will be provided to the Western Expeditionary Army for three years free of charge.

When the first batch of vegetables and fruits were delivered to the barracks, the whole barracks was boiling, and Shen Jie and Chai Yao were extremely excited and filled with joy.It turned out that Princess Anran didn't care about her father and Marquis Ding Guo, but used actions to show her concern and silent support for the Western Expeditionary Army!

Shen Jie had long since returned home, and only hoped that the war would end as soon as possible, and then go back to the capital to deal with all those Yingyingyanyans.When Xing'er turned 16 years old, he would marry her into the Marquis Dingguo's Mansion with eighteen sedan chairs, and live happily with her.

Tao'er wrote back and told Xing'er that she would stay in the northwest for a long time until Chai Yao left the northwest.Xing'er discussed with her family for a long time, and A Niang finally nodded and agreed: "Forget it! Just let your eldest sister stay with your father! When your eldest sister was young, your father loved her very much. Whenever he had time, he would take her with him. Watch the fun outside."

"Okay, my daughter listens to A Niang." Xing'er responded obediently, feeling a little sour in her heart, feeling very sorry for A Niang.Auntie has worked so hard to raise her daughter, but now she is taking care of and accompanying that cheap daddy. Poor Aunt is hopeless!

Xing'er came from time travel, she has never seen that cheap father, and she still hates him for breaking A Niang's heart.Naturally, he stood by A Niang's side and defended A Niang.However, she also knew that there was nothing wrong with standing on Tao'er's side.After all, they are connected by blood, and that cheap father also left Tao'er with very sweet childhood memories.

When Xing'er received Tao'er's letter, it was the time when the locusts were raging.

Black locusts covered the sky and covered the sky, flying from the state next to Lizhou. It is said that on the border of that state, the crops in the fields were basically wiped out.The newly appointed magistrate of that prefecture was not at all right with Mr. Tai, and he opposed Mr. Tai in everything. He heard that Mr. Tai also had an idea of ​​how to prevent locust disasters by raising chickens, ducks and geese. He immediately sneered: "Hillbilly! Knowing how to raise chickens, ducks and geese, what an idiot! Then it is better to raise more pigs and sheep, and the mouths of pigs and sheep are bigger, and you can swallow a dozen locusts in one bite!"

This magistrate has a bit of talent and learning, the stereotyped essays are very beautiful, and the poems and songs are also good.However, he is a person who doesn't distinguish between grains and general affairs, and looks down on farmers and businessmen extremely, and always puts the scores of scholars in front of the people.Master Tai and Situ Changfeng were very depressed. They didn't understand such a person, how could His Majesty let him be the magistrate?Such a person, staying in the Imperial Academy, should be a good editor, but it is not suitable to be a parent officer!

Master Tai, Situ Changfeng and Xing'er, as well as officials at all levels, village chiefs, Li Zheng, etc., have already been waiting in full force. As soon as they heard that locusts were about to fly over here, everyone drove all the chickens, ducks and geese to their homes. in the field.

There are more than fifty chickens, ducks and geese in most households, and there are a little more in Li County, reaching one hundred.The chickens, ducks and geese raised by Tianxiang Company have their wings dyed red, and they are placed in the fields of Tianxiang Company, as well as the fields of those people near the farm of Tianxiang Company.

The locusts were black, and so were the chickens, ducks, and geese. The chickens, ducks, and geese who had been fasted for a whole day, saw the locusts, as if they had seen the best delicacy, and rushed forward, one bite at a time.As soon as ninety-five percent of the locusts landed in the fields, before they had time to bite the crops, they became the lunch of chickens, ducks and geese, and died!

The fields under Tianxiang Company, as well as the fields with a radius of ten miles, as well as the fields of Wushuang Villa, and the fields in the entire Kaoshantun have basically been preserved.The crops that have been plagued by locusts are so small that they can be ignored!

The people in the mountains did not have much land, so they put chickens, ducks and geese in the forest, and also shattered the "trick" of the locusts to harm the mountains.A few months ago, under Xing'er's initiative, many families in the mountains set up a breeding farm on the mountain, raising a large number of chickens, and where there are reservoirs and ponds, they also raised ducks and geese.

The people in Lishutun have long believed in Xing'er's words. Every household has encircled a large forest in the mountain contracted by themselves and raised more than [-] chickens.Fish ponds were also dug in low-lying areas, and about [-] ducks and geese were raised each.

In order to support the people in raising a large number of chickens, ducks and geese, Xing'er also took out 5000 taels of silver herself, but if the people in Li County really have difficulties at home, they can come to borrow money from her to raise chickens, ducks and geese.When the chickens, ducks and geese grow up and sell them for money, they can just return them to her, without charging a penny of interest.As soon as the news spread, many people really came to borrow money from her, Xing'er sent her staff to check the situation. .

As long as the situation is true, it is indeed a poor family, and it is not the kind of rogue family, who has no gambling behavior, Xing'er will lend the money generously.Of course, it doesn't mean that you can borrow as much as you want. The maximum loan limit for each family is no more than ten taels.

One tael of silver can buy thirty chicks, and ten taels of silver is enough.People who are too poor must have few fields. If they raise fifty chickens, twenty ducks, and ten geese, they can completely wipe out the locusts in their fields!

In Lixian County, except for a few stubborn diehards (those who resolutely refuse to raise chickens, ducks and geese), most of the people's crops have basically been preserved.For those families who were unwilling to obey the orders of the "government aa", the crops in the fields were basically destroyed by locusts. Thanks to the chickens, ducks and geese of other families, these people's crops also kept about [-]%.If so, these people also regret it so much that their intestines are green!

Through the incident of the locust plague, the prestige of Princess Anran suddenly rose to a very high level.Those local *heads* snakes and wealthy families who were still somewhat dissatisfied with her were completely convinced now, and the calculations and careful thoughts in their hearts were completely dissipated.

The entire territory of Li County is harmonious, unprecedentedly harmonious, and the government and the people are also unprecedentedly united. There is a cheerful and warm atmosphere everywhere.A small number of troublemakers and villains wanted to fight against Xing'er and endanger the society, but they were drowned out by everyone's saliva as soon as they showed signs of it.

Situ Changfeng was very pleased, and couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear for several days.Entrust a Taifeng.

Hehe, as expected, the Li County under his rule will be a miracle for the entire An Lan Country!It is the only county that has experienced a rare drought, followed by a plague of locusts, but still has a bumper harvest of grain!Not to mention other places, even in the other counties of Lizhou, with the unremitting efforts of Mr. Tai, there are still many people who do not raise chickens, ducks and geese.

However, the chickens, ducks and geese raised in the farms under Tianxiang Company can only take care of the fields near the farms, as well as the fields of those families scattered in a fan shape with the fields under Tianxiang Company as the center and a radius of ten miles.It is impossible to deliberately transport those chickens, ducks and geese to other places, that is unrealistic, and it will be a lot of trouble to manage.

In the other counties of Lizhou, about [-]% of the crops were damaged by locusts.As for the crops in Li County, at most, [-]% of them were harmed!Compared with Lizhou, the other states in Licheng were much more miserable. Only [-]% of the crops were saved at most!This is also due to the farms under the Tianxiang Company. The chickens, ducks and geese in those farms have kept at least [-] mu of fertile land!

And the [-] mu of fertile land happens to be the local grain base, and it is the farmland with the largest grain output over the years!With these [-] mu as a foundation, the local people will not have to experience the pain of having no food to eat again after experiencing the severe drought!

In these places, Tianxiang Company has no farms, and the chickens, ducks and geese in the farms are specially fed to help the food base prevent disasters!

According to Xing'er's advance instructions, the person in charge of Tianxiang's breeding farm signed a contract with the owner of the field when the chickens, ducks and geese were transported to the [-] mu of fertile land: if the chickens and ducks of Tianxiang's company The geese helped these people keep their crops, so the owners of these fields must agree to one condition: when the grain is harvested in the future, they must sell the grain according to the grain price of the normal year. The goods are rare, take the opportunity to make a disaster fortune!If the agreement is violated, Princess Anran will never forgive him lightly!

It can be [-]% higher. Who would be foolish enough to say no to the locust plague?There are even some people who almost want to kneel on the ground, begging the person in charge of the farm to open the cage quickly and put those chickens, ducks and geese into their crop fields.As long as these crops are kept, not to mention the [-]% increase, even if the [-]% increase is not, they can't wait for it!

You know, at this very moment, the rice is filling the grain!It won't be long before there will be a harvest. If it is destroyed by locusts like this, the family will wait to drink the northwest wind!Not long ago, we just experienced a severe drought, and another plague of locusts came, who suffered?

Chai Xing'er, the owner of Anran County, relied on her ingenuity, as well as her kindness and simplicity, to make another great contribution to Anlan Country!All the papers from all over the country asking for credit for Princess Anran were handed over to An Junyi's imperial case, and the Sacred Heart was overjoyed!

The Holy Majesty once again issued an edict, announcing that Princess Anran would come to Beijing to have an audience.

An Jing said to Xing'er very seriously: "A Niang, let's go together, A Niang wants to see the Empress Dowager, please don't make things difficult for your father! No matter what, he is also the father of your five siblings, A Niang I don’t want him to have a bad day!” If Chai Yao has a bad day, the ones who suffer the most, and who suffer the most, are none other than Xing’er and his brother!

Xing'er was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay! My daughter listens to A Niang, then our family will go to Beijing together! A Niang is now a first-rank wife appointed by the emperor, and she is also eligible to enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager! "

At this time, Yan Wushuang had already returned from the west.When Xing'er's family passed by the Lizhou branch of Wushuang Villa, they went to meet Yan Wushuang. Hearing that Anjing also planned to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, Yan Wushuang was very worried, so he hurriedly said: "Then senior brother will go to the capital with you. There is a good or bad, and there are more people who can take care of it!"

Xing'er naturally couldn't agree, knowing that going to the capital would be somewhat risky, how could she agree to the senior brother's request?Helpless, Yan Wushuang's attitude was more resolute than hers, and took advantage of the elder brother, Xing'er couldn't say no to him, so she had to agree.

After resting in Wushuang Villa for a whole day, after Yan Wushuang had dealt with a few urgent matters, he took thirty masters and escorted Xing'er's family all the way to Beijing!Before leaving, Xing'er took the hand of the master's sister-in-law and told with tears: "Sister-in-law, there may be certain risks for Xing'er to go here, that's also possible. If there is any trouble, please take the children immediately and avoid entering the house." A secret camp deep in the mountains!"

Long before the drought, whether Xing'er or Yan Wushuang, each found several secret caves in the remote mountains, where they secretly stored food, medicine, quilts and clothes, etc., in case of emergencies. need!

After several years of experience, the master's sister-in-law has long since become flattered, much stronger and braver than when she first met Xing'er!Today, as the unyielding hostess of Wushuang Villa, she is very chivalrous.She completely lost the look of the pissed daughter-in-law who was bullied by her mother-in-law Ke Jin when she was in No. [-] Villa in the World.She is so confident, strong, and courageous, and so forthright and cheerful!

She held Xing'er's hand with her backhand, and she was full of smiles. There was no trace of resentment or dissatisfaction in her eyes, and she smiled very warmly and sincerely: "Xing'er, don't worry about sister-in-law, sister-in-law is not a frog in a well who has never seen the world! Don't worry. Well, nothing will happen, I'll be here waiting for you to return safely!"

Waving again and again, when the carriage that Xing'er and Yan Wushuang were riding in disappeared, Mrs. Yan finally shed tears after holding back tears for a long time.There are many things that neither Xing'er nor Yan Wushuang told her, but since Xing'er told her so seriously, there must be some reason.

Xing'er and Yan Wushuang's trip does not rule out any unexpected risks.After all, to accompany the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, how can it be such a good thing to enter the palace to meet the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager?On the surface, although the scenery is infinite, but in fact, how many people in this world really want to see the Holy One?If you didn't say a word well, or even accidentally farted when you met the Holy Majesty (by the way, who can control farting?), you may be beheaded!

Sister-in-law Yan packed up a bag of gold and silver, and a bag of clothes, shoes and socks, and put them in the bedside cabinet, ready to flee at any time.Yan Wushuang left five top masters to his wife and children, three in the open and two in the dark, to protect their safety.

When they arrived in the capital, Xing'er and his party did not immediately go to the palace to have an audience, but went to Xinghua Village first.After Shen Han received Xing'er's letter, he had been waiting in Xinghua Village to welcome them.Xu Youran also heard the news.

Lai'an, the head manager of Xinghua Village, had already prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, and when he was full, Yan Wushuang forcibly dragged Xu Youran to play poker.Only then did Xing'er have a secret talk with Shen Han.

Shen Han asked eagerly: "Xing'er, are you crazy? Letting your mother enter the palace to meet the empress dowager is not a joke. The empress dowager can control her emotions and don't cry too much. Are you crying? If the Holy Majesty knows that you and the Empress Dowager jointly conceal your mother's life experience, the Empress Dowager will be fine, but you might be charged with deceiving the emperor!"

It is said that a woman's heart is the needle at the bottom of the sea.However, Shen Han deeply felt that the emperor's heart is the needle in the sea!As long as you are a little careless, it is likely to be wiped out!

Xing'er said helplessly: "This is A Niang's decision, there is no other way, because Brother Shen sent a letter, the new supervising army targeted my father everywhere, it is said that it was the Queen Mother's order. It's nothing more than a small fight, there are several This time, he almost killed his father! Brother Shen repeatedly warned the supervising army, on the surface he was a little more honest, but behind the scenes, his actions continued, and there was a tendency to intensify!"

"What? It's so excessive?! General Chai, no matter what, he is the biological father of your five brothers and sisters. How can this be done?!" Shen Han was shocked, his face full of disbelief. The action felt very speechless.

Xing'er shook her head and sighed: "So, I can't forcefully stop A Niang if she insists on going to see the Empress Dowager. In fact, Big Brother Shen and I both have a little doubt. She doesn't even want her father's life! It's normal to give some shoes to wear, some color to look at, or to punish her father. However, I don't think the Queen Mother will go to something that endangers his father's life. Do!"

Shen Han thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, your analysis is good. Based on my understanding of the queen mother, she is a very kind-hearted person. Her mother-daughter love for your mother is not fake. , in her heart, your aunt does occupy an extremely important position. The supervisor may have made his own decision, and there may be something strange about it, it shouldn't be that simple!"
