After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

After they have completed this first step, Yu Zizhen will arrange for Wen Xiaoman to form a traveling trade team that goes from north to south, selling furs and medicinal materials from the north, and silk, porcelain, grain, seafood, etc. from the south. Secretly help her collect information from various places.

As for the Lu family, there are mountains and rivers in the southeast, so they can easily raise some mountain bandits and water bandits. When the time comes, Yu Zizhen plans to let them conquer the mountain bandits and water bandits step by step.

For those who are extremely vicious and have committed many crimes, kill a group of them as a deterrent, recruit a group of them into the army, and then restrain them according to military regulations. Once they are docile, they can be beaten where they want.

As for those who fell into the grass just to find a way to survive, Yu Zizhen did not intend to forcefully arrange their lives.

If there are those who are willing to join the army, they can pick them up to see if they are suitable. If not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, farming, breeding, textiles, building houses, building water conservancy and fortifications also require a lot of labor.

Of course, that's for later.

At this time, Yu Zizhen was far from what she had expected. He was able to control all the "military battlegrounds" in Daqi and penetrate all the states and counties in Daqi.

The only thing she can do now is to spread her tentacles out a little bit, and through various ways she can think of, to continue to spread what she claims is "independent research and development", but in fact it is redeemed from the system mall A new method of retting.

***

Most of the Lu family had been sent away by her. She could hide this from other people outside the mansion, but she couldn't hide it from Mr. Jiang and others who lived in Zhenbei Palace.

On the one hand, Mr. Jiang was shocked that Yu Zizhen had such an ability to send all the Lu family members except Wu Shun and Wu An away safely under the surveillance of countless pairs of eyes outside the house, secretly and covertly. On the other hand, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Take a breath.

To be honest, in his opinion, the Lu family is just a bunch of hot potatoes. If they stay in the Zhenbei Palace, the Zhenbei Palace will inevitably be watched by more people all the time, which is really a bit uncomfortable for him. convenient.

It's okay now, Yu Zizhen is finally willing to send these people away.

In addition, Yu Zizhen also did something that made Mr. Jiang happy.

On the Wanshou Festival, as soon as she came out of the palace, she took out a pamphlet from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mr. Jiang, asking him to quickly send it back to Zhenbei Palace in the north.

The new method of fertilization was Yu Zizhen's birthday gift to the emperor. She did not want to share it with others before that. Mr. Jiang completely understood, so he did not dislike Yu Zizhen for giving it late at all, but because Yu Zizhen was the first to leave the palace. I was very happy when I thought of sharing this thing with Zhenbei Palace.

This made him feel that although Yu Zizhen behaved strangely in some small things, he was still able to distinguish between inside and outside and understand the importance of important things. That was enough for him.

When Mr. Jiang was satisfied, he would inevitably praise Yu Zizhen in his letter to King Zhenbei.

King Zhenbei was also very happy to receive the new fertilization method and Mr. Jiang's letter. He took the letter and went directly to Princess Zhenbei's yard for dinner in the evening.

Princess Zhenbei was very happy that King Zhenbei came to her, and she also called her precious son Yu Zicheng over as usual, but she was not very happy that King Zhenbei came to praise Yu Zizhen again.

But now she has learned her lesson. Even if she is unhappy in her heart, she shows her motherly love for Yu Zizhen without any hesitation on her face, and then takes the opportunity to express the good mood that King Zhenbei has because of Yu Zizhen. Used it thoroughly.

Fortunately, Yu Zizhen didn't care about these things at all, otherwise she would be stunned to death when she found out about Princess Zhenbei's tricks. Not long after the New Year's gifts from Zhenbei Palace were sent away, Yu Zizhen and the others went on holiday. It's just that what they took was not the kind of winter vacation that Yu Zizhen had in his previous life, but the "New Year's vacation" of this era.

Of course, this "New Year's holiday" is no shorter than the winter vacation in Yu Zizhen's previous life.

According to Xiao Yuanjin, the "New Year's holiday" of the Imperial College and most academies lasts from late twelfth lunar month to early February next year, which lasts for fifty days.

Yu Zizhen and others studying in the South Study Room always refer to the holiday time of the Imperial College, so their holiday lasts from late twelfth lunar month to early February next year, which lasts for fifty days.

It was rare that he didn't have to go to school for such a long period of time. Of course, Yu Zizhen had to create opportunities for Xiao Yuanjin to practice martial arts diligently.

She greeted the emperor, and then returned to the palace with Xiao Yuanjin, who had been out of the palace many times, under the guise of asking Xiao Yuanjin for advice.

Since this time Xiao Yuanjin was not just taking a break in the palace occasionally, but was going to live here for a while, so Yu Zizhen asked the chief steward Yu Tong to arrange manpower to decorate the small courtyard next to Lu Mingxuan.

"This is a temporary residence that I have specially arranged for you. Are you satisfied with it? If there is anything that needs to be changed, I will immediately have someone readjust it for you."

Xiao Yuanjin shook his head, "No need, this is already very good."

Xiao Yuanjin was not picky about the living environment, not to mention that he left the palace this time so that he could concentrate and polish his martial arts under the guidance of Yu Zizhen.

As long as he does this well, then he doesn't care about other things, such as food and accommodation, good or bad.

In this way, Xiao Yuanjin settled in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

During this period, in addition to the Little New Year, the New Year, the first, fifth, and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, he, accompanied by Yu Zizhen, returned to the palace to participate in the essential family reunions, ancestor worship, large-scale palace banquets, lantern viewing, and guessing during the New Year. For various traditional events, he spent most of the remaining time in Zhenbei Palace practicing hard.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yuanjin's birthday is also in the first lunar month, but neither the Queen Mother Lu nor the Queen Lu are interested in celebrating the birthdays of their juniors, especially those who have no blood relationship with them.

So the Dalu family directly deprived Xiao Yuanjin's brother and sister of the right to celebrate their birthdays on the grounds that "the children are still young, and celebrating birthdays in a big way can easily reduce their fortune and longevity."

Every year on the birthdays of the three of them, Xiao Lu, who was in charge of the imperial kitchen, would simply ask the imperial kitchen to add two more dishes to them, and then would like to reward them with something meaningful together with the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Of course, the big Lu family and the little Lu family didn't organize these things personally, and they didn't even bother to remember the birthdays of Xiao Yuanjin's brother and sister.

When that period comes, the palace people around them will naturally remind them. They only need to give instructions and set standards, and the palace attendants around them will naturally handle other matters.
