Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1228 Famine and Natural Disaster 387

Zhou Ting stayed behind in the camp and was often distracted when handling government affairs. He was most likely to be distracted when not noticing.

An San watched and shook his head silently.

"Master, drink tea."

An San brought a cup of tea to the table.

Zhou Ting glanced at him and asked casually, "How long has Master Cheng been out?"

"About three quarters of an hour." An San replied.

"We're almost in Fucheng."

An San was speechless and helpless, "Master, if you want to go, I will prepare a horse for you. I will handle the government affairs when you come back."

Why am I always thinking about it?

Reduce the efficiency of government affairs processing.

It's like a person who is lovesick and can't forget his lover all the time; it's not like they are separated by life and death, Miss Cheng just went out to play, why should she be so in love with him as if she had lost her soul.

Zhou Ting's heart paused, then he looked up at him unhappily.

An San's eyebrows jumped, and he knelt down quickly, "My subordinate said something wrong, please forgive me, sir."

There was silence in the tent, and Zhou Ting's masculine face with clear outlines showed a hint of displeasure.

"Go back and get fifty sticks. I don't need you to serve me here anymore."

"Yes."

An San retreated in panic.

After An San left, Zhou Ting shouted from inside the tent, "An Qi, come out."

Just after he finished speaking, a man in a brown robe walked in. He knelt on one knee, lowered his head slightly, bowed with both hands, and greeted respectfully.

"Your subordinate An Qi pays respect to the master."

"You stay by my side and serve me."

"Yes, I obey your command." An Qi maintained his attitude and performed his duties like a tool.

Zhou Ting nodded secretly, and he was quite satisfied with the situation. "Get up and guard outside. By the way, send someone to Fucheng to find out the whereabouts of Master Cheng and his party, and let the secret guards protect Master Cheng."

"My subordinate understands."

An Qi lowered his head and took the order and left.

Zhou Ting was flipping through memorials, most of which were sent from the capital and needed urgent processing.

After An Qi went out, he instructed a secret guard in the dark to go to Fucheng to inquire about Cheng Mingyi's whereabouts.

"Follow Master Cheng. She is protected by two secret guards. You should join them." An Qi instructed.

"Yes."

The secret guard retreated.

An Qi stood there for a while, thinking about what to do; he didn't know why An San was sent away, because there were only the master and An San in the tent at that time. But, An San must have violated a taboo to be sent away.

There is no doubt about this.

The secret guard was very skilled in martial arts and hurried into Fucheng. After entering the city, he went to Fucheng Palace to investigate. When he didn't see Cheng Mingyi, he searched along the streets.

After searching half the city, I finally found the person.

At this time, Cheng Mingyi was holding a candied haws, and Chunxi was following him; the guards who accompanied them were carrying large and small bags of many things, some of them had their hands full and had things hanging around their necks.

The secret guards secretly found the two secret guards who followed Cheng Mingyi. They were hiding in the dark, invisible to the crowd. If they hadn't been trained together, they might not have been recognized.

They were not wearing black clothes, but linen clothes, which made them inconspicuous in the crowd.

"How long has Master Cheng been shopping?"

After finding the person, the three of them looked at each other and found an inconspicuous corner to talk, but they would not lose sight of Cheng Mingyi. "It's been a while. Look at the things hanging on the guards. Master Cheng really knows how to buy."

"That can't be helped. Master Cheng has plenty of money, so he can buy whatever he wants. But women are hard to please, with fickle tastes and personalities. They are always fussy when they go shopping, buying things as they go."

"Do you think everyone is like us, buying whatever they need and returning it after they buy it?"

"Don't say anything, just follow me."

The three secret guards followed silently, moving against the crowd, their eyes never leaving Ming Yi.

Cheng Mingyi knew that someone was following her, and she was used to it, because the people who were watching her had no ill will towards her; she knew without thinking who sent them, and to be honest, she had refused Zhou Ting's request to send people to protect her many times, but it was useless.

"Sir, have you bought most of the things you wanted to buy? The guards are almost full." Chunxi was very grateful that she was born a girl and did not have to look after the guards with all the things hanging on her body.

If there was really something hanging there, she would be unable to move.

I admire the guards.

"This is just a small amount of stuff." Mingyi looked back at the people behind her. She was shocked to see how much they had bought. It was inconvenient to go shopping like this, and she had no intention of stopping. "Please return the stuff to the carriage first and then come back to me."

While Guard Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little concerned.

"Sir, your subordinates are not tired."

"I don't know if you are tired or not, but it's true that you carry so many things with you, which makes people stop and look." He raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Are you afraid that I will abandon you and run away?"

Yu's heart tightened, "Sir, you are joking. How could you abandon your subordinates?"

He was really afraid of being left behind. If he lost someone, he would be punished when he returned.

Guard Yu's voice was vague, but his attitude was unusually firm.

The other party's attitude was that he said nothing, but it seemed like he had said everything.

Mingyi was not interested anymore and waved her hand perfunctorily, "Okay, you guys go and take the things back to the carriage."

"Here." Guard Yu quickly handed the things to the people behind him. Half of the dozen guards stayed with him and continued to follow Mingyi.

Lu Mingyi was not in the mood to do the next thing, and Guard Yu saw it and felt worried.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Guard Yu asked anxiously, "Are you tired, young master?"

"I'm not tired, are you tired?"

Mingyi asked casually as they walked.

Guard Yu choked and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. We are not tired."

"If you're not tired, continue to stroll around. Although this place is not as prosperous as the capital city, fortunately, there are all the necessary gadgets and delicious things, and there are also many delicious and fun things."

Guard Yu had no choice but to continue following, but he did not dare to speak casually again.

What he said just now had already made Mingyi a little dissatisfied with him, so now he should show a submissive attitude and try to make Mingyi feel better.

Mingyi didn't think too much about it. She just felt that Fucheng was big but a little depressed.

If this border fortress were in prosperous times, it would attract economic exchanges from several neighboring countries and the development of this place would be more prosperous than Kyoto.

It’s a pity that I was born in a turbulent time and couldn’t witness such prosperity.

The Dayi Dynasty was trapped in internal and external difficulties, and it was unrealistic to use economic development to boost its fundamental lifeline.

There are natural disasters and wars everywhere, and only the Northwest is stable, and the economic system cannot be connected and circulated; there are constant disasters and chaos in the Central Plains, and it is not easy for the entire Northwest to be self-sufficient.

Understanding this, Mingyi is not in a hurry to develop the economic system. Even if he wants to develop the economy, he has to wait until the turmoil in the Central Plains is pacified.

Only if Zhou Ting had more military power in his hands could he ensure the stability of the territory he controlled; otherwise, no matter how big the economic system or how good the living environment was, it would ultimately be inferior to the coverage of the military force.

Only if Zhou Ting is strong and has a strong backing can he support a bigger business.
