The story of a farmer's fierce wife

Episode 256
Xie Yonghua drank bowl after bowl of wine, and fell drunk from time to time.

Ren Xiao stretched out his hand and pushed him, seeing that he was still awake, the corner of his mouth twitched. He looked like this, and he was serving the country loyally. After drinking so much wine, how could he still patrol.

Lin Xiaowei put his arms around his chest and said with a smile, "I said, what are your plans if there is a real war?" He didn't believe that this cunning woman would not be prepared.

"If you have a plan, hurry up to store food, and then order a variety of dishes, so that you can support yourself in the future." Ren Xiao rolled his eyes, "Since I came here, I never thought that there will be such a day."

Lin Xiaowei said with a smile: "I know, you still want to make a fortune with your husband and live a small life together, but unfortunately the world is changing. We used to live in peaceful times. We don't know how to live in this ancient life. How long."

"Hey, you are a master, have you seen the authentic and complete set of Sun Tzu's art of war?" Ren Xiao raised her eyebrows, she always had a feeling in her heart that once something happened, this Ning Jian would definitely go to the military camp.

Lin Xiaowei shook his head, "There are very few books like this in the academy. These students grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, just for this scientific examination. Who would read military books and not lead soldiers to fight for nothing?"

Ren Xiao pouted, "Yes, then do you know where it will be?"

"I have to ask the dean about this, he must know more details than me."

"Sure, you can help me to ask, if there is any, I will borrow it to see." Ren Xiao said seriously, she was indeed uneasy.

Lin Xiaowei frowned, "Why are you a woman reading military books? They are all in traditional Chinese plus classical Chinese. Can you understand them?"

Ren Xiao squinted at him, and said angrily: "You can understand it, so why don't I understand it too? Besides, there is still you, or there will be my husband and son, they can always You can understand it, or I will let you ask your dean."

Lin Xiaowei turned his head speechlessly, what's the matter, it's not that he despises women, but that in this era, a woman is simply not allowed to run around, and now it's only in small places that not many people say, if it's in other places Place, maybe what to say about a woman.

"Okay, if you're okay, get out of here quickly, I'm going to sort it out myself, and see how much money I have now." Now I'm going to start planning, in case I need it someday.

Ren Xiao calculated her calculations carefully, thinking about what she would do and how to protect herself if a war really broke out.

Lin Xiaowei sat without moving, and he didn't bother to move now. Anyway, he was alone when he went back, so it's better to come here to have fun. "Hey, I said what are you thinking?"

Ren Xiao said impatiently: "Didn't you see that I was thinking about something, what do you want to say?"

"I just want to ask, your future plans, I think, food must be expensive now, do you want to buy a lot of rice and store it? Even if you don't take it out and sell it, you can still feed yourself if something happens in the future .” He is naturally not afraid, anyway, there is an academy for him.

Ren Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You have a good idea. In the afternoon, I will ask them to buy more ingredients, such as rice, salt and so on. These household necessities must not be missing."

"Well, go ahead, this salt is so expensive, how much do you plan to buy?" Lin Xiaowei looked at her leisurely while drinking tea.

Ren Xiao propped his chin, with a melancholy expression on his face, "I don't know, anyway, it must be a lot, but how much is it, this..."

It's hard to say, it's really too troublesome, it would be great if we can not start a war.

"If you want to buy more, they may not be able to sell you so much salt, and most of the salt you buy is refined salt, while other farmers buy coarse salt. There is a huge difference between the two. here." Lin Xiaowei said slowly.

This kind of salt is not available in Nanyan country at all, and no one has developed it. It came from Xijin country, while Anyue country has abacus and papermaking skills. Nanyan country where I live is the most expensive of these two countries in terms of life. The poorest one is the rich glutinous rice, just because it is the most stable to build houses with glutinous rice.

The other two countries are not suitable for growing rice, let alone the glutinous rice. If they want to build a house, they can only buy it from the Nanyan country, and for other things, the Nanyan country has to buy it from the other two countries.

In this way, the three parties are holding back each other, and each has what the other needs, but the military strength of the other is evenly matched. If the other party is united to attack, who can guarantee that the joint party will not rebel.

"These three kingdoms are really like the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu in our history, and so are they." Ren Xiao sighed, how many famous generals came out of the Three Kingdoms at that time.I don't know how many famous generals will come out of the Three Kingdoms here.

Lin Xiaowei nodded, and then said: "I didn't come first, you, a woman, still read such profound things, you have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms a lot."

Ren Xiaobai glanced at him, "I haven't read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms much, but I still know some things in it. The Taoyuan Jieyi, Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, and Fire to the Red Cliff are classics. I learned it when I was studying."

Lin Xiaowei chuckled, he was just talking like this, "Don't worry, although there is no Kong Ming here, there are also counselors from all directions, who will definitely keep this country alive."

"That would be the best. I don't want to die for the country." Ren Xiao said helplessly. This is also the thing she hates most about ancient times. Apart from feudal thinking, it is the problem of fighting at every turn.

Some of them start wars just because the current emperor is angry, but they don't know the reason why the wrath of the emperor will lay down millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles.

After sitting for a while, Lin Xiaowei left straight away. Overnight, Ren Xiao seemed to be worried and unhappy, which made Ning Jian very confused. She didn't answer when asked, and could only act in a hurry.

The next day, Lin Xiaowei rushed in, holding a letter in his hand, panting, "This is really burning our butts, the two countries have broken off the talks, it seems that our Nanyan Kingdom and An Yue Kingdom are destined to have a war."

Ren Xiao was shocked, "What's the matter, didn't you still say that you are still in the negotiation yesterday? Why is it only a day..."

"What day, when we talked about this, it was already news five or six days ago in Kyoto. Now this is the latest version. Didn't you notice that there are a lot fewer people on the street?" Lin Xiaowei became impatient. , What is wrong with it? It is said that the wind is the rain.

The veins on Ren Xiao's forehead were throbbing, "What's going on?"

Lin Xiaowei took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "It is said that because the other party's people were too unreasonable, Emperor Nanyan immediately became angry and threatened to destroy An Yue Kingdom, otherwise he would not give up."
