Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 344 Help from the Twelve States
She came over to look at her, and saw that she was really bored, so she handed over the fabric in her hand, "It's really boring, just help me make trees out of fabric, small ones, and put them on the topographic map when the time comes, I'll go out and have a look ..."

"Princess, I want to be with you!"

"You stay in the house, otherwise you are not allowed to do anything, Dongxue, watch Qingxiu for me, and don't let her mess around!"

"Yes……"

Tong Xiaowu went out of the inner room and came to the backyard. The food from Heilang County had already been delivered, and the person who personally escorted it was Shi Baoan, the prefect of Heilang County. He also delivered the food in person last time.

"Princess Qian'an." The other party saluted.

"You're welcome, is everything going well?"

When asked about this, Shi Baoan's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he was almost speechless.

"Princess, you can't even think of it. Originally, there wasn't enough food. The weather in Beizhou is cold, and we don't have enough food every year. Sometimes we can't buy it even if we have money.

But I didn't expect, I don't know what happened, the officials of several other states knew about our difficulties, and even sent us food.

Qi Hengyuan, the prefect of Buzhou, personally sent ten carts of grain to Heilang County, and the prefect of Qinzhou also sent ten carts without asking for money. There are also Youzhou, Nanzhou, and Haiyu Prefecture, which cannot deliver grain because of the long distance. They all sent banknotes.

There are also letters from other counties, look, they are all here, I wanted to go over to show you right away, but you are here, please take a look..."

Saying that, Shi Baoan took out several letters from the purse, and handed them to Tong Xiaowu. On the envelopes were all written: "Prince Xuan, Concubine Xuan personally encloses".

Tong Xiaowu opened the envelope, and a bank note appeared in front of her, with a letter attached behind it.

According to the letter from the prefect of Qinzhou, the money was donated by Qinzhou officials and merchants, hoping to help Beizhou overcome difficulties.

The same is true for Youzhou. The letter stated that although the donation is only a few thousand taels of silver, it hopes to help Beizhou.

There are more in Haiyu Prefecture and Nanzhou. After all, in Xuanyuan, the economy there is relatively developed. The letters written by the prefects of the two states are also pertinent, and they also said that no matter what difficulties King Xuan has in the future, they will help.

Rongzhou and Linrezhou are relatively far away. Although there is no donation or food, a letter of condolence has been sent, saying that the clothes donated will arrive later.

There is also Jianzhou in Linhai, which also sent letters of condolences, and the dried fish and other things donated later will arrive.

From this point of view, each of the twelve states in the country has sent condolences, which is really touching.

"Princess..." Suddenly, Shi Baoan on one side knelt on the ground, "I have long heard that the princess is kind and intelligent, and this time I have seen it. Princess, I really appreciate you coming to Beizhou, thank you so much!"

As he said that, Shi Baoan actually shed tears, and Nanny Zhang, who was on the side, was quite touched when she saw this scene.

In the whole Xuanyuan, that province has never had the help of the princess. Now these people heard that the prince and princess are in trouble when they come to Beizhou, and they are willing to lend a helping hand, which shows the benevolence of the two.

"Master Shi, get up!" Tong Xiaowu didn't know what to say, and helped him up.

"Princess, I, I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited, I really haven't seen such a thing before!"

"I've read the letter. The supplies from Rongzhou and Linrezhou will arrive in a few days, and the dried fish from Jianzhou should be back in the next two days. I'll have to trouble Mr. Shi to send them over, Heilang County What's the situation over there? No matter what the difficulty is, you can bring it up, after all, you have helped Beizhou so much!"

"No, no, Heilang County is located in a dangerous place. Even if the people from Beiming attack, they will not choose that side. Don't worry, princess!" Shi Baoan happily replied, "As long as Beizhou is stable, our side can be stable too!"

This is true. Generally, Beiming people who enter Beizhou enter Beizhou from Huanfengguan or the oblique mountain in the north of Beizhou. Therefore, when Beizhou is stable, other places are also stable. This is not wrong. No.

Of course, it also depends on the situation. If you want to have a stable border defense, you need long-term stability. Some things can't be slow, but some things can't be rushed.

Back in the inner room, Mammy Zhang lowered her head and apologized, "Princess, the old slave was too stingy before. I'm really sorry. The old slave apologizes to you!"

"It's okay, the so-called everything has three or four sides, it's also good for you to remind me! By the way, Lu Xing, how is the prince?"

"We are building the city wall with stones. Although the progress is extremely slow, it is effective!"

"After all, it's winter, so it's not easy to do things! I'll give you this money, and you can send someone to buy some meat and add some food to the workers in the quarry?" Tong Xiaowu took out a 100 tael silver ticket from the envelope and handed it to Lu Xing.

"Okay!" Lu Xing reached out to take it, and happily went out to find someone to do something with.

Grandma Zhang laughed when she saw this scene, "Although there is no way to make money in Beizhou, fortunately our princess has paved the road before, otherwise it would be a mess if anyone came here."

"The problem of eating, drinking and drinking is easy to solve, but it is Beiming who is not easy to solve!" Tong Xiaowu put the envelope away, looked back at the topographic map of the sand table that she made, and the appearance of Huanfengguan kept appearing in her mind.

In the evening, Xuanyuan Yuchen returned to the palace, Tong Xiaowu set up the dining table, the two sat down to eat, Tong Xiaowu looked at the people on the left and right, and waved, "You all go down, as long as I'm here."

The maidservants on both sides retreated, only Tong Xiaowu and Xuanyuan Yuchen were sitting at the dining table in the inner room.

Xuanyuan Yuchen asked, "Did you make the topographic map of Westinghouse? I read it, and it's pretty good!"

"Well, I made it, and it can be used in the military in the future."

"Yes, by the way, lady, I have already started recruiting soldiers in various counties and cities in Beizhou. The 8 people in Trull's hands refused to be used by me. I decided to recruit soldiers myself, and I have notified my father about this matter. He also agreed, and in the future, the military power of Beizhou will be taken back slowly, but the Zhenbei General must be a little bit dissatisfied, and he is also writing a memorial!"

"Is he still reasonable? Beizhou has been made like this, even the city walls are not repaired, and he dares to give a memorial to the emperor. He just can't justify not paying the military salary for three months!"

"Yes, these days, we have recruited new troops, and our military resources are richer than theirs, and the soldiers who follow Trull are no longer willing. Some things, without our help, they will have to mess up." Xuanyuan Yuchen said Said.

"You have to be at ease when doing things. If you do something wrong first, there will naturally be all kinds of holes waiting..." Tong Xiaowu served him rice and sat down.

"Sir, I went to Huanfengguan this morning. Sure enough, there is geothermal heat there. The snow that fell in Beizhou last time has not melted yet, and their Huanfengguan has already melted."
