My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 257
This made the noble family who had just moved to Lingnan very puzzled.

A young master from a distinguished family sent his servants to inquire.

A woman in a floral dress was stopped by a man dressed as a servant, "Madam, I just heard you say that one of your sons has already joined the army. Why do you want to send your other son to join the army too?"

The woman looked at the boy's clothes and said, "You just moved in, right?"

"Exactly." The boy straightened his chest proudly and opened his mouth to say his master's name. Then he remembered that his master had told him to keep it low, so he hurriedly swallowed the rest of his words.

"No wonder you asked such a question." The woman said, "You don't know something. Joining the army in our Lingnan is different from those outside."

"Why is it different?" The boy didn't believe it, thinking that there were rumors outside that Mrs. Lu was a disciple of the gods and was protected by the gods. Could it be that the Lingnan army was also protected by the gods and could not be beaten to death?

"When my eldest son went to join the army, I felt like the sky was going to fall. I couldn't sleep the whole night, but I didn't expect that my eldest son went to the military camp for three months and came back to visit relatives. Not only did he not lose weight, he also gained some weight. Meat, the whole person is energetic.”

The woman thought about the situation when she first arrived in Lingnan, and felt a sigh of relief in her heart. Thinking about the current life, she felt that being together was like a dream.

"I heard from my son that they were treated well in the military camp. Not only did they eat well, but they also contributed points. I don't know what it is, but I heard that if you accumulate enough money, you can exchange for things, and you can even be promoted. .”

This was the first time that the young man saw a mother sending her son to serve as a soldier. It was so joyful. "Even so, you don't have to send your other son too, right? There are no eyes on the battlefield, so what's the point?" , it’s too late for you to cry.”

"If we all think like you, who will protect our country?" The woman opened her mouth and heard the truth from the patrol, "We are not doing it for others, we are doing it for ourselves, we are protecting ourselves. Our homeland, even if it is sacrificed, is still glorious.

The woman said, and advised the boy: "When you come to Lingnan, you should regard yourself as a member of Lingnan. Think about the life we ​​lived before? What life are we living now?"

The young man thought about what he saw on the way from the capital, and then thought about his family, and he had to agree with what the woman said.

This Lingnan is really good.

Although this place is not as prosperous as the capital, the officials here, unlike those in the capital, always give people a sense of superiority.

Civilians here also have more opportunities.

Thinking about the news about the imperial examination he had just arrived in Lingnan, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

Can he also participate?
The boy temporarily suppressed the heat in his heart and went back to send a message to his master.

After hearing the boy's answer, Cui Jun shook the fan in his hand and said in a drawl: "It's interesting!"

"Master, what's interesting?" The young man looked at his young master and asked boldly.

Cui Jun glanced at him sideways and hit him on the head with the fan handle, "Is this something you should ask about?"

The boy quickly bowed his head and apologized, and at the same time secretly warned himself not to imitate Lingnan's customs, as his young master was not easy to get along with.

Cui Jun squinted his eyes, "Go, go to the study opposite and buy me some books."

"Master, what book should I buy?"

"Bring all the books that Lingnan people have been making a fuss about recently, buy them and let me take a look."

The boy thought his master had noticed his little thoughts, and was shocked.

Until Cui Jun said to himself: "Let me also see what these Lingnan people are crazy about the books."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Jun didn't pay much attention to the legendary book. He opened "Basic Arithmetic" with a mocking mentality, but then he couldn't control himself and was completely shocked by the content in the book.

There is such a strange book in this world.Many young men from aristocratic families are like Cui Jun, from initial contempt and suspicion to final obsession.

The major bookstores in Lingnan were in short supply of books and had to increase printing efforts.

Compared with Lingnan, the situation in Cangwu is slightly worse.

The climate in Cangwu is not suitable for growing multi-season rice, and Jiang Tangtang took over the project for a shorter period of time. Most people do not have spare money to buy books, and not many people can participate in the exam for the time being.

Jiang Tangtang also noticed the situation in Lingnan and decided to try his best to support Cangwu.After all, Cangwu is now her territory.

The stronger Cang Wu is, the more beneficial it is to her.

After learning that the rabbits in the breeding farm had recently acquired dozens of baby rabbits, Jiang Tangtang decided to send some of them to Cangwu for paid adoption and distribute them to the people in Lingnan for breeding.

Along with the baby rabbits, there are also breeders who teach how to breed rabbits.

In addition to teaching the daily rabbit breeding precautions, these breeders also teach the common people how to breed rabbits and keep breeding rabbits for themselves.

Rabbits breed every two months and can be bred year-round.

It can be said that it is an animal that is very suitable for breeding and low cost.

The people of Cangwu also love this little animal very much.

Rabbits do not need to eat food like pigs.It’s not as big as the cost of cattle or sheep.

Basically every household can raise a few little rabbits.

Many families take their children to take classes from breeders and let them take care of rabbits.

More than a hundred of the newly hatched baby rabbits were sold out as soon as they were sent to Cangwu.

The people in Lingnan don't compete with the people in Cangwu for rabbits. Nowadays, almost every household in Lingnan can afford to raise pigs.

And it’s time to harvest the second crop of rice soon.

Along with the second crop of rice, sweet potatoes, corn and cassava will be harvested.

Sweet potatoes, corn, and cassava are all high-yielding crops.This year's grain production has doubled compared to last year, and farmers are as happy as the Chinese New Year.

The situation outside became increasingly serious. In early October, Xirong captured Datong, and the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital panicked.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty could no longer keep his composure and listened to the advice of the seventh prince. Since he couldn't do it with literature, he would do it with martial arts.

Therefore, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty sent a team composed of senior officials, disguised as refugees, and was ordered to secretly capture Jiang Tangtang, Lu Jingcheng and others. The purpose was to take Jiang Tangtang and others back to Beijing, so as to threaten Lu Shiyan and lead his troops. Beijing to relieve the difficulties in the capital.

It has to be said that the seventh prince's mind was full of dregs. The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was also driven into a panic by Xirong. He was not lucky that Lu Shiyan did not lead troops to the capital. He actually wanted to arrest his family and threatened him to lead them. The soldiers went to the capital.

What's the difference between using a knife to threaten a wolf and bringing a pack of wolves to your home to help kill the dog?
Jiang Tangtang didn't know about their stupid move. If he knew, he would definitely faint from laughing.

At this moment, she is busy recycling food.

Even in modern times, the country has to keep its grain reserves filled with grain to prepare for emergencies.What's more, this was in ancient times, and it was still a troubled time when people relied on the sky for food.

She had to be prepared in advance in case something unexpected happened.
