My wife is sick

Chapter 527

Yinglan's future father-in-law is the steward of the mansion. Although Wei Fu cleaned up all the stewards in the mansion after waking up, she also understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. It was the stewards who saved their errands during that cleansing, even if they returned more than half of the money they had been greedy for more than ten years, they still had a surplus.

Moreover, in the following period of time, Wei Fu didn't pay too much attention to the small actions of the stewards who took advantage of the convenience of their errands to get some oil and water from time to time.

Therefore, Yinglan's future husband's family actually has a solid foundation. The savings in the family are completely enough for them to have some left over to start a small business after redeeming their family's deeds.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for Ying Lan to persuade her future husband's family to redeem her body contract, no matter how eloquent she is.

After Wei Fu got such an answer, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Both Yingxue and Yinglan are already 19 years old, they are not too young at first, if they delay any longer, they will really become old girls. Before, their lovers were worried that Wei Fu would not let them go, but now Wei Fu There was a sigh of relief here, and the lovers of the two were overjoyed, so they were naturally in a hurry to get married.

Therefore, it didn't take half a month for Yingxue and Yinglan's marriage to be almost ready. Witnessed by Wei Fu and several children in the mansion, the two maids who had served Wei Fu for nearly a year also In this way, she got married in a lively and beautiful way.

The reason why we say beautiful is that not only Wei Fu, the Duke's wife, presided over their marriage, but Wei Fu also prepared 100 taels of silver for each of them, as well as a pair of gold bracelets.

Coupled with the dowry that the two of them have saved for themselves over the years, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are married with glory.

For this reason, countless servant girls in the Duke's mansion are envious of Yingxue and Yinglan.

However, this is not enviable.

Yingxue and Yinglan are Wei Fu's personal maids, so when they got married, Wei Fu was so generous, other maids naturally couldn't compare with them.

After Yingxue and Yinglan get married, they won't go back to work in the mansion. As a result, there will be a shortage of manpower around Wei Fu.

However, Wei Fu did not choose two of the second-class maids to be first-class maids. Their family did not stay in the capital for long, and they might not be able to take everyone around them. The two maidservants got up.

And when the happiness of the two maids getting married completely disappeared, the period of more than a month mentioned by Jiang Heng also arrived.

Time to enter early March.

It is the time when all things recover and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Just when everyone was immersed in the return of spring and the entire Jing Dynasty was thriving because there would be no more wars, a piece of news from the border gave everyone a heavy blow.

Since the truce between the Jing Dynasty and Xiyi, the border gate has soon glowed with a different kind of vitality.

Without the threat of war, the common people will naturally think about other things, such as doing business with Xiyi.

Xiyi and Jing Dynasty have fought for so many years, and they have indeed forged a blood feud. After all, too many Jing Dynasty soldiers and people paid their lives because of the war between the two countries.

But no matter what, people have to look forward.

The war has come to an end, and the living continue to live and want to live better, so it is only normal to learn to be flexible.

Although Xiyi is not as vast and abundant as Jing Dynasty, many special products of Xiyi, such as fur and some special medicinal materials, are very popular in Jing Dynasty. If these special products can be transported to Jiangnan, the capital, etc. The price difference is enough to make a lot of money.

And this kind of trade is also very beneficial to Xiyi. They can use these special products to exchange for things that Xiyi lacks, such as grain, tea, porcelain and so on.

It can be said that this is mutually beneficial.

It is also because of this that there are really many people rushing to the border now, and transporting these special products back from the border one step earlier. When there are more people, the originally depressed border will naturally become lively.

These are the benefits of the truce.

Under such excitement, the soldiers at the border also changed.

These changes come from Wei Changzheng, the highest-ranking general at the border today.

The mission of border guards is to defend their home and country, and if they want to defend their home and country, they naturally need to have strong strength and good skills, otherwise, even if they go to the battlefield, they can only die.

It is also because of this that Jiang Heng would arrange daily drills for the soldiers at the frontier pass even when there was no fighting, and never slack off for a single day.

As for Wei Changzheng, I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe he wanted to use new measures to eliminate Jiang Heng's influence on the border soldiers, or he wanted to accumulate credit for himself from a new starting point. Emperor Jingwen is here to invite credit.

In short, after the beginning of spring, Wei Changzheng did not arrange daily drills for the soldiers at the border, but found another way and sent these soldiers to reclaim wasteland.

The border gate originally had a large area of ​​fertile land, but the 20-year war caused many people to flee the border area. As a result, the remaining large area of ​​fertile land was naturally abandoned.

This desertion lasts for 20 years. If you want to reclaim these lands and plant food, it will naturally require a huge investment of manpower and material resources.

In Wei Changzheng's mind, now that there is no more fighting at the border, it is natural that the soldiers can be temporarily transferred out to do other things. After reclamation of wasteland, these wastelands can be turned into good fields. In the fall of this year, we will be able to harvest the food of Dazhi.

in this way……

The border will also be self-sufficient.

This saved Jing Chao a lot of military rations and a lot of military expenses. No matter how you say it, it was definitely a great achievement.

It was precisely because of such credit that Wei Changzheng issued such an order.

Now the border commander is still Jiang Heng, but Jiang Heng was left in the capital by Emperor Jingwen and failed to return to the border, and Jiang Heng, the real commander, is not there. Wei Changzheng, as the highest-ranking person in the border now, naturally He temporarily replaced Jiang Heng as the person in charge.

Wei Changzheng obviously also knew why Emperor Jingwen kept Jiang Heng in Beijing, and why he sent himself to the border. It was precisely because he knew that he was so eager to make some achievements.
