My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

Chapter 200 Powerless
South of Yanzhou,

The wind was fierce, and Gu Pinglu led a column of cavalry to fight against a group of men in black.

For a moment, the ground flew up bursts of dust, making it difficult for people outside the battlefield to see the battle situation clearly.

Not far behind Gu Pinglu, Wei Wang Dongfangtai was sitting in the middle of a seriously damaged luxury carriage.

It was not at all obvious that he had just experienced an assassination.

He seemed to be unconscious of the knife wound on his left arm, and he only listened attentively to the fighting outside with his ears up.

From time to time, he lowered his eyes to look at the inner eunuch lying at his feet with eyes wide open, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Regardless of his bloody arm, he raised his hand and opened the curtain.

At this moment, the battle is drawing to a close.

The rising wind and sand gradually fell, and he saw Gu Pinglu still standing in the center, his spear rustling, and there were only a few assassins left on the opposite side, and neither side dared to make a move for a while.

But in the next second, Gu Pinglu took the initiative to attack, and several people fought again.

Dongfangtai put down the car curtain and closed his eyes with peace of mind, put one hand on his knee and tapped lightly, as if forming a rhythm with the sound of fighting outside.

"His Royal Highness, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Tai opened his eyes, and saw Gu Pinglu's face still covered with the blood of the enemy came into his eyes.

Seeing the concern in the youth's clear eyes, Dongfang Tai smiled...

Going out to patrol, and finally became Wei Wang's guard to escort him back to Fucheng, Gu Yan just sighed after listening to his subordinates' report.

Then, the gully between Gu Yan's eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

Not long after His Majesty passed away, something happened when King Wei returned to his fief.

The things inside made him think about it.

Gu Yan raised his head and looked at the edict from the imperial capital on the side of his desk, which unexpectedly mentioned the winter salary, which was much richer than before.

When the first emperor was in power, he was very strict with the frontier generals, but now that the new emperor ascended the throne and the Empress Dowager is regent, he suddenly treats them preferentially. Isn't this a kind of wooing?

And is this kind of solicitation motivated by the state policy of the government or the selfishness of that person?
Gu Yan covered his face and sighed, why did his family still walk on eggshells when Emperor Yan Qing died?
***
Mei Berry and his family set off again.

Mei You's family and Mei Berry's family took Old Xue and his son along.

Because of Jiu Baoxuan's escort, they also brought a few carriages along the way, and the mules were liberated for a while.

Mei Berry sat in the carriage and opened the curtains, looking at the mule cubs in Wujia who were light, carrying fat tigers and fighting chickens on the grassland, and couldn't help but look envious.

"I really want to ride a horse."

Mei Berry stopped by to look at Mei You who was riding a horse outside the carriage.

Mei You noticed Mei Berry's gaze, slowed down the horse's speed, leveled with the carriage, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I envy you can ride a horse, when will you do it?"

"I learned it when I was about to leave."

Plumberry:?
What Meiyou meant was that before they left today, she asked him how to ride a horse, and then she learned it?
"Is this something you can learn with legs?"

Seeing Mei Berry's life-doubting appearance, Mei You was in a good mood.

"When you reach Yueliao, I will teach you."

"Ow~"

Mei Berry lowered the car curtain, she was the only one sitting in the car, and her father sat outside, chatting with the people from Jiubaoxuan who were driving.

Her mother was talking to the third aunt in the car next door.

For a while, Mei Berry also felt quite bored.

She lowered her head and reached out to caress the jade whistle hanging around her neck.

Before leaving, Mei Berry plucked up the courage to ask Xie Changwen if she could write to them directly in the future.

For this reason, Mei Berry was also afraid that Xie Changfan would misunderstand, and explained that Jiubaoxuan went to Xianyao to develop, while they were far away in Yanzhou.

The distance between them is too far, if there is any business idea to make a fortune, it is too slow to rely on manual delivery.

This distance is not the one-day distance from Jinshui Village to Jinbai County.

Xie Changwen is probably also the person who is talking about Jiubaoxuan.

This is what Mei You told Mei Berry.

Hearing that he had said so much, Xie Changfan didn't say anything at that time, and only handed her the jade whistle.

"Blow it, nothing else is needed, and the messenger will arrive."

There was still the voice of that person beside her ears, Mei Berry lowered her head and stared at the whistle in a daze.

At that time, when the other party handed her the whistle, her long-lost check-in system actually rang——

[Congratulations to the host for punching in the name scene "Give Memento" and reward "Cotton Planting Manual". 】

Surprised by the suddenness of the system, Mei Berry reached out and clenched her hand after receiving the whistle.

At that moment, fingertips and fingertips, warm to cold touch made each other startled.

Mei Berry's eyelashes trembled so violently that she didn't even dare to look up at Xie Changfan.

Fearing that the other party would misunderstand him as a pervert who eats beautiful tofu, he turned around and ran away with the whistle plum.

Now thinking about her behavior at that time, Mei Berry couldn't help covering her face again.

Ah!
This run made her feel even more guilty. What was she doing at that time?
Mei Berry fell back with a howl, and with a bang bang, she even knocked her head in the carriage, causing her to scream in pain.

But because her father was talking and laughing outside, it was directly covered by Mei Berry's movement.

The good news: Nobody knows about the shame.

Bad news: It hurts so much that no one cares.

Mei Berry just lay down and made a living.

She took out a small cotton flower from the space, played with it in her hand, and looked at it for a while.

After that, she also took out the reward for the incident of Xie Changfan who suddenly checked in, and the cotton planting manual.

It records in detail the planting of cotton, as well as a series of processes such as subsequent cotton picking and cotton processing.

Before Mei Berry thought about it, he had heard that there was a 20-day trade customs in the border city of Yanzhou every spring and autumn.

If they follow their current itinerary, after they arrive in Yueliao, they may encounter an autumn close.

At that time, she asked the system to arrange the origin of the cotton.

At least, this winter, their family will arrange for a quilt first, right?
When the spring came, she took out the cotton seeds and planted them. Within three years, cotton would become the most popular thing besides food in the homes of the people in the North.

The boundary of Yanzhou is indeed as Xie Changwen said, it is very peaceful.

There was no movement on the road for more than ten days. Occasionally, Tian Qi in the next carriage was brought by Mr. Xue to recite the prescription, and Mei Berry could sleep well on the bumpy carriage.

But on this day, when Mei Berry was less than [-] miles away from Yueliao County, she met a group of ragged refugees.

At first, Mei Berry thought she was a refugee from Yunzhou, but when she talked about it with the people in the team, shopkeeper Ma listened and told her that these people were also people in Yanzhou.

After all, part of the southern part of Yanzhou is on the Jinlan River.

Those refugees will only go north if they are flooded and homeless.

"People in Yunzhou can't get through, even if they come, they can't go deep into Yanzhou without a guide."

Shopkeeper Ma told a very cruel truth.

"In Yanzhou, there are not only ordinary people, but also soldiers who resist the grasslands. Almost every year, Dacheng will fight with the Tartars on the grasslands.

Although the Tartars have not been able to please them in recent years, neither Zhizhou nor Guhou have ever let down their vigilance, let alone allow any situation that would damage the army.

Even if the people of Yunzhou couldn't survive because of the floods and plagues and rushed to Yanzhou in desperation, they would not allow the victims of Yunzhou to enter.

At most, there are a few more bones on the border of Yanzhou. "

It sounded ruthless, but Mei Berry felt a deep sense of powerlessness behind her.

"Is it because of the epidemic?"

"No, because there is no surplus food in Yanzhou..."

There was nothing they could do.

　In fact, what was mentioned at the end of this chapter was the reason why Gu Pinglu appeared in the south at the beginning.
