Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 45 Save People Halfway
Xiao Yilin thought that King Xuan had already returned to Beijing, so he didn't have to stay in the palace, "I'll go back with you."

Jing Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, "My lord, it's better to stay in the palace to recuperate your wounds due to your precious status. I'll come back to do acupuncture for you in a few days."

Now that Jing Yi knows Xiao Yilin's true identity, she doesn't want him to live in her house again.If Xiao Yilin's enemies find out, not only Xiao Yilin is in danger, but their family is also in danger.For her, Xiao Yilin was a big trouble, and she didn't want to take this trouble home.

Xiao Yilin obviously felt that since the young man knew his true identity, he was intentionally alienating him.This made him feel very lost.

Thinking of him, King Jing Xiao Yilin, in this Huizhou mansion, no one wants to curry favour or fawn on him.Only this young man not only showed no flattery towards him, but was also a little distant, as if he didn't want to get too close to him.This also just shows that the boy has no intentions towards him.

The more this happened, the more he wanted to be friends with the boy.

Xiao Yilin sighed inaudibly, "Okay then, you can deal with the family affairs before you come back. If you don't worry about your mother, bring your mother and the others. It will be winter soon, and the fields should It's okay.

As for the seeds you need, I will ask my subordinates to prepare for you what you need.It is easier to collect seeds in Fucheng than Hui'an County.Later, you make a list for Director Xiao, and he will definitely handle it for you.When the time comes you will go back with the seeds. "

Jing Yi thought about it and said: "That's fine, then please trouble the lord, I will make a list for Mr. Xiao later. The lord's body is still very weak, and winter is coming. You still have to keep warm in the room. The air in the room will not be very good. , you can have people build earth dragons and kangs, so that the room will be warm and the air will not be bad."

Xiao Yilin also knew that a kang was built in the young man's house, and it was the first time he had heard of a kang.

I am even more interested in the earth dragon mentioned by the young man, "This is the first time I heard of this kang at your house. I have never heard of the earth dragon. Can you teach the craftsmen?"

Jing Yi said: "I drew the blueprints of the earth dragon and the kang, and asked Mr. Xiao to find a mason to come and tell him about it."

Xiao Yilin asked Xiao Zhen to find the masons in the mansion, and he built the kang and earth dragon in the two wing rooms of Qinglan Courtyard.Jing Yi was also afraid that the craftsmen would make mistakes if they hadn't seen the kang and the earth dragon, so she was there to guide them.

Because Jing Yi's identity was to be kept secret, outsiders were not allowed to enter Qinglan Courtyard as much as possible, so Gu Yu and Feng Zhi all helped when building the kang and earth dragon.

Jing Yi asked people to open up the two wing rooms, and then divided them into inner and outer rooms.The outer room can be used to receive guests, and the inner room can be used as a bedroom and a place for handling government affairs.

It is faster to build only two rooms first.Materials such as blue bricks and stones are easy to obtain for Prince Jing's Mansion.Jing Yi also asked Mr. Xiao to send someone to get materials such as lime and clay.Then a flue was built on the ground and on the wall, sealed well, and the ground was paved with blue bricks.

The north and south heated kangs were built in the room.The northern kang can be used for sleeping and rest at night, and the southern kang can be used to sit on it to handle government affairs during the day, so as to ensure that it will not be frozen in winter.

Jing Yi also took the initiative to talk about things like heated kang, earth dragon, and waterwheel, hoping that Xiao Yilin would help cover it up, because she didn't want to attract others' attention.

In her heart, she was afraid that people who had enemies with the Jin royal family and Xiao Yilin would notice and find out that she had saved Xiao Yilin, then she would definitely be in trouble.

In this ancient feudal society, she didn't want to associate with such a high-ranking, troublesome person like Xiao Yilin.What's more, she is still a woman, and she is despised in this patriarchal society.

She just wants to make money now, and then slowly cultivate her power.Sooner or later, she will fulfill her promise to avenge the Jing family.

After a while, when everything is settled, she plans to build an intelligence agency first. At least she needs to know the information inside Yiguo to prepare for revenge in the future.

Now is the time for her to keep a low profile and develop in the dark. She doesn't want to get involved in the struggle of the Jin royal family.

Xiao Zhen got the instruction of his prince and prepared the seeds that Jing Yi needed according to the list Jing Yi gave.There are cotton seeds, sunflower, wolfberry and rice seeds are also prepared.Jingyi saw that the seeds were very good, full of grains, and of good variety, and they would definitely be even better after her optimization.

After the earth dragon and kang were built, Jingyi quietly left Prince Jing's mansion without waiting for the results, and hurried home.Xiao Zhen will then send the seeds to Yunxi Village.

On the way, Jingyi saw a lot of refugees fleeing famine. It seems that people fleeing famine from the disaster-stricken states in the north have already arrived here.

When approaching Hui'an County, Jing Yi and several people who protected her met a young man who passed out on the side of the road.

Jing Yi took the young man's pulse and knew that he was hungry. She turned around and said to a guard, "Bring some water and softer steamed buns."

The steamed buns were specially made by Jing Yi before and brought along to eat on the road.

Jing Yi gave the young man some water, and the young man woke up soon.

Jing Yi took out a steamed bun and handed it to the young man, "I'm starving, let's eat something."

The young man took the white flour steamed bun from Jing Yi's hand and started to eat it hungrily.

Jing Yi also handed him a water bag and asked him to eat steamed buns with water.Soon the young man ate a steamed bun.

After eating the steamed buns, the young man knelt in front of Jing Yi and kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you benefactor for saving my life, otherwise the villain would have died by the side of the road."

Jing Yi said: "I think you are starving and faint, did something happen to you?"

The young man's eyes turned red when he heard the words, "Grandpa, the villain's name is Song Yuancheng. My hometown is in Qingzhou Prefecture. This year our place suffered from severe drought and there was no harvest in the fields. The whole village came out to flee famine.

It was better for me to take my elderly parents along with the people of the village. Later, my father fell ill, so we were delayed, and we fell behind.My dad didn't make it through either, and died soon after.My mother was not in good health and soon went with my father.

After burying my parents, I managed to catch up with the people in our village, but I was robbed by bandits again, and we were all scattered.The only things around me were also robbed.

I had to beg all the way, and when I got here, I was so hungry and thirsty that I passed out on the side of the road.Fortunately, my benefactor rescued me so that I could regain this life.

Eunuch, my life will belong to Eunuch from now on, I beg Eunuch to take in the villain.I am willing to serve my benefactor for the rest of my life as a slave. "

Listening to the young man's polite and methodical voice, Jing Yi asked, "Have you ever read?"

Song Yuancheng said: "The villain has been in a private school for several years, he can recognize some characters, and he has also learned some arithmetic."

Jing Yi thought that she would need someone to help her farm in the future, and said, "If you want to follow me, you have to sign a contract of sale."

Song Yuancheng hurriedly said: "The villain is willing. The benefactor saved the life of the villain, and the villain will follow him to the death."

Jing Yi said: "Okay then, just follow me."
