The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 247 Gao Cunzhen

"Kuiwa, you are not what you used to be. You still don't have a wife, and you don't live up to the dignity of a leader. Furthermore, you are not young anymore. If Yungu is without a young master for a long time, it will not be conducive to stabilizing the morale of the people and the military. The Gao family is a family of generals, and now they dominate Hexi. The marriage between Yungu and Guining can help each other, support each other, and establish the long-term foundation of Yungu." The second uncle saw that Song Yingkui was trying to prevaricate, and wanted to marry his elder The best thing to do is to push it out three times.He couldn't help but act like an elder and reasoned with Song Yingkui from a political perspective.

Do you think that with your current status, marriage can still be a personal issue?It is related to the political stability of Yungu, and even the entire northwest frontier. Can one person be dealt with casually?Although the third child in your family is a direct descendant of the Song family, can he compare with you in terms of weight?There is a huge difference between getting married to you and getting married to the third child of your family.

"Who said I have no heirs? Zhaoping and Zhaoye are several years old. In a few days, I will go to Sunan Grassland to bring Zhaoping to Taoyang. It just so happens that it is time to readjust the affairs in Sunan. , I went over to meet with several vassal leaders and made things clear." I don't know what happened, but Ding Yumei and Li Guoqian had given birth to three daughters to Song Yingkui, but they had not given birth to a son.As a result, he really has no children around him now, so the only plan for now is to bring Song Zhaoping back from Bai Feiyan's place.

From what Song Yingkui knew, he was only a 24-year-old boy, so there was no need to worry about his successor.But the people below don't think so. Whether they are family members or subordinates, in the past two years, they have always used various methods to remind their heirs and successors openly and secretly.

Fortunately, Bai Feiyan gave birth to two sons, otherwise the lack of sons would force people to have mental problems.

"Kuiwa, today's Song family is not a small family. There must be rules for establishing heirs and elders, otherwise trouble will arise. The identities of Zhaoping and Zhaoye are ambiguous, so they are not the most suitable choices for young masters. If you have no choice but to do so, the young master had better make his wife his wife. Otherwise, the baby born by the girl from the Li family will be eligible to compete for the throne in the future. Isn't this a way to cause chaos? Even though everyone knows that the baby is not from your family, However, it will be difficult to tell Zhao Ping and Zhao Ye's life experiences in the future. As an official, I shouldn't say these words, but as an elder, I will make it clear, lest the foundation you have worked so hard to build will not be able to survive in the future. "

The second uncle's words made Song Yingkui fall into silence.Indeed, the relationship between him and Bai Feiyan is a bit complicated. So far, the two of them have not even clarified their identity as husband and wife. If the two brothers Song Zhaoping and Song Zhaoye take over the position of heirs in the future, they will give others an excuse.It is not a problem if you are alive and can always remain strong, but the key is that this kind of thing often happens after you are gone.

Throughout ancient and modern times, in the land of China, the second-generation heir has always been a very sensitive issue.If you make it more vague, the problem will be even bigger.

"Let's do this! Uncle, after autumn comes, you will go to Hexi in person. One is to meet Gao Cunhu and consolidate the relationship between the two alliances. The other is to meet Gao Cunhu's sister with your own eyes and see what she is like. I was frightened by what happened to the Li family. I must be more cautious this time and not make any more jokes. I would rather not marry than have another setback." Song Yingkui does not reject political marriage. At his current position, he does not want to engage in political marriage. Will not work.But political marriage must at least be beneficial, right?We can't let another mess come out that will hold us back.

Jiang Yunjin couldn't help but become solemn after hearing Song Yingkui's words.Everything is fine for my great-nephew, but there have been too many twists and turns in his marriage. He needs to be more cautious. He said, "It's better to be more cautious. It's a big deal. I'll go to Hexi in person. It won't hurt. So be it, I'll give it to Gao when it's over." Write a letter back home, not to talk about the marriage between the two families, but only about my visit to Liangzhou after autumn. The Gao family knows the relationship between your family and mine, so they should understand what it means."

Deliberately keeping the pace low, whether this marriage can happen depends on the feedback of the second uncle after his visit to Hexi.

…It’s time for the autumn harvest again. The area of ​​paddy fields in Yungu has increased significantly this year, and naturally a lot more staple food is grown.People from the Agricultural Medical School have just conducted a preliminary measurement of grain production and the situation is very optimistic.Preliminary predictions indicate that the wheat harvested in the country this year can meet the rations of six to seven adults. Coupled with the supplement of autumn grain, self-sufficiency is not a problem.There is even a certain amount of grain in stock. If we add the grain purchased from abroad, there will be a surplus of grain.

Song Yingkui was so troubled by food shortages for several years that he developed a phobia of food insufficiency.Even though there is a surplus of grain in the country this year, he did not stop the purchase of grain from abroad.I want to take this opportunity to establish an emergency food reserve system to prepare for emergencies.

If we can save enough food to feed the people within the territory for a year, no matter what happens, no one will get into trouble.

"Uncle, the administrative department should pay close attention to the construction and operation of the grain storage warehouse. This is a life-saving existence, so we must not be careless. I thought about it. The potato flour will last longer. We need to build enough to store 20 stone. The above-mentioned warehouse of potato flour. We also need to build a warehouse of [-] stones of wheat, [-] stones of cereals, and [-] stones of bran. If these warehouses can be filled up, even if there is a bad harvest year, our Yungu All the people have something to eat.

The way to operate the grain storage in the future is to take out the old grain and fill it with new grain. It is necessary to ensure that the grain storage is full. "Potato flour can be used as a raw material for canning in normal times. In an emergency, it can be used as an emergency food by mixing it with bran and other grains. It has more energy than flour. Song Yingkui thinks that saving more of this stuff can be of great use.

Storing grain is a big deal. The second uncle knew the importance and nodded quickly: "I will take this matter seriously. By the way, City Lord, it is also the grain production season in Hexi. They sent a special envoy over and said they wanted to meet. If I want to see you to discuss food matters between the two families, you have to arrange a time to meet."

"Discussing the grain affairs between the two companies? Do you need to send a special envoy to see me for this matter? Forget it, since they are here, it is inappropriate for us not to meet. Let's arrange it until tomorrow morning!" The Gao family specially sent a special envoy to discuss grain purchases. Song Yingkui felt a little strange about the matter, but after all, he came on behalf of the Gao family and had to receive him.

Early the next morning, the second uncle brought the Gao family's special envoy to the lobby of the city lord's palace. As soon as he saw the Gao family's special envoy, Song Yingkui noticed that something was wrong.He quickly turned his attention to his second uncle, who gave him a meaningful look.

Apparently he also discovered that the so-called special envoy of the Gao family was a woman disguised as a man.A female child was sent as a special envoy. The Gao family had mentioned the marriage between the two families before. It was self-evident what the situation was.

"Gao Cunzhen, the special envoy of the Guining Army, met with General Lintao and the commander-in-chief of the Yungu Army on behalf of my brother. I hope the general will not be offended. I am a girl."
