Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 278
"Brother Huang, why don't you let me lead the army, with me watching in front, these people don't dare to cheat and play tricks again." Mingyu thought for a while, and then asked for an order to lead the army.

"Forget it, you are my own younger brother and my last reliance. I will not let you go out unless it is absolutely necessary. There are so many generals in the court, so why should you lead the army?" The emperor refused. Mingyu's proposal.Regarding Mingyu, the emperor didn't have the slightest precaution, he just didn't think that his only younger brother was in danger.

"Besides, doesn't Jingxian have another baby? Are you willing to let her wait in fear in the capital? Mingyu, stay in the capital and stay with Jingxian and me." The emperor looked This younger brother thought of his mother's instructions when he died.At that time, the mother's only request was to let him take good care of Mingyu.

Logically speaking, since Mingyu has already married and been granted the throne, he should go to the fief instead of staying in the capital.But the emperor couldn't bear to kiss his younger brother, so he made an exception and left Mingyu to live in Beijing.

As soon as the emperor brother mentioned Jing Xian, the great pride in Ming Yu's heart disappeared without a trace. "Since Brother Huang said so, I should stay with Jingxian at home. Jingxian has had a hard pregnancy, and I feel uncomfortable just watching it all day long." Ming Yu couldn't help showing his stupidity. Xi Xi smiled.

Seeing Mingyu's appearance, the emperor couldn't help laughing, "You are really fascinated by Jingxian." Even if the emperor is in a bad mood at the moment, he still finds it funny.

"Brother Huang, if the younger brother is willing to share his worries for the younger brother, if the situation on the battlefield is not right, I ask the younger brother not to be scruples, and let the younger brother lead the troops to fight." Mingyu said.

The emperor nodded, "There are also quite a few capable people in the court. For the time being, it's just a matter of a few cities. The situation is still under control. It's fine."

On the morning of the next day, the emperor decreed that Fan Yunlong was removed from the position of Marshal of the Northwest March.Mo Yongcheng, the younger brother of Zhenbeihou Mo Yongan, who had returned to Beijing for training last year, was sent to the northwest again.

Now, the people of the Mo family are happy.At that time, Mo Yongcheng was ordered to return to Beijing to recuperate, and the Mo family knew that the emperor wanted to weaken the military power in the hands of the Mo family.Unexpectedly, now that the Beiyuan Kingdom invaded, the Mo family had to come forward.

Mo Yongcheng set off from the capital with his three sons. Before leaving, he said to Mo Yongan, Marquis of Zhenbei, "Don't worry, brother. When I go to the northwest this time, my brother will definitely expel those Tartars from Beiyuan Kingdom." Brothers like Tao will also make great achievements and become princes. As long as the four girls give birth to a prince in the future, the prosperity of our Mo family will be just around the corner."

Mo Yongcheng's second daughter was selected into the palace the year before last and became a concubine.Because she ranks fourth in Mo's family, she is called the fourth girl.The two generations of the Mo family had their daughters enter the palace, which can be regarded as a prominent hall.If the four daughters of the Mo family really gave birth to the emperor's heir in the future, then relying on the military power in their hands to try to let the child ascend the throne, the Mo family will be the emperor's natal family.

Mo Yong'an knew in his heart that the reason why the emperor let the fourth girl into the palace was in exchange for Mo Yongcheng's military power.But I didn't expect that the Northern Yuan Kingdom was coming to attack at this time, the emperor had no choice but to let Mo Yongcheng take charge of the battle again.Their Mo family is not comparable to those who are officials with a pen.In this world, literati can be missing, but martial arts like them are indispensable.At this moment, Mo Yongan was extremely proud.

"Brother, you must be very careful when you go out this time. Don't rush to make achievements, everything is safe. Hongtao and the others are still young, and the matter of becoming a marquis can be postponed. But you must save your life so that we can prosper. home." Mo Yongan instructed.

Mo Yongcheng is not a fool either, he can more or less comprehend part of what his brother said. "Okay, my younger brother will say goodbye to my elder brother." Mo Yongcheng took his son and walked away.

Mo Yongan turned around and replied when his younger brother was no longer in sight. "Second brother, is your elder brother guarding the Northeast right now? Write to your elder brother to ask him to pay attention. The people from Beiyuan Kingdom are very cunning, so we must prevent them from sneaking up."

Mo Hongyuan, the second son behind Mo Yongan, quickly agreed, "Dad, don't worry, my son will go right away."

When Mo Hongyuan wrote the letter, his younger brother Mo Hongfang came to him, "Second Brother, I remember that Princess Ning'an and her husband-in-law are also in the Northeast? It seems to be in a place near Beiyuan Kingdom Place. You write a letter to Big Brother, so that when he has a chance, he will take good care of that couple and make them mad again." Mo Hongfang said viciously.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Let's make them repay the grievances suffered by the third sister." Mo Hongyuan also had the same expression and tone. The Mo family members all have the same temperament.

The two brothers glanced at each other, imagining the miserable fate of Lin Zixuan and Xu Jinghan in their minds, and then the two brothers laughed.

And Jinghan, who was far away in Xizhou, after learning the news of the war between the two countries, called all the managers to discuss again. "Everyone is invited to come here this time to discuss the current situation. The Beiyuan Kingdom captured our five cities in Daqi on the ninth day of April, and the two countries have officially started war."

"Although we are located in the northeast, we are far away from the battlefield. But this Xizhou, after all, is at the junction of the two countries, and it is a very important position. If the Beiyuan Kingdom sends troops to attack here, they can pass through Xizhou. Occupy the entire Northeast, and then threaten the capital. So we have to start preparing, not only Zhizhou adults must be on guard at all times, we also have to prepare some things." Jinghan sat in the middle of the hall, facing these stewards , Explain to them how powerful it is.

"From now on, the distillery will stop producing wine, and all the grain will be used for backup. In addition, it is the time for spring plowing, and our Zhuangzi will plant all grain, especially high-yield grain. Those tobacco, mung beans, sesame, watermelon, etc. All crops will be stopped from today. In case of war, food will be in short supply, and food can save lives. Those economic crops, let’s forget it for now.” Jing Han is also helpless, the current situation , It's not the time to think about making money at all.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't let everyone earn money. If Xizhou can't keep it, and everyone loses their lives, what's the use of asking for money? At this time, we have to work together. It is important to fight against foreign enemies first. As long as we Daqi can Repel the enemies of the Beiyuan Kingdom, and there will be opportunities to make money in the future." Jing Han said loudly.

"Madam's move is righteous. We will definitely do what Madam said. Madam is right. If Xizhou is gone, what is the use of making more money? It's not for Beiyuan Kingdom. Did those Tartars prepare it?" An Fu stood up and was the first to echo.

An Fu is the steward of the wine shop, and also an old man beside Jing Han. Among these stewards, he is quite prestigious.As soon as he stood up, Changshun, Changan, Changxing, and Changwang, who were originally around Jinghan, all stood up and unanimously agreed with Jinghan's approach.

The rest of the stewards are also natives of Xizhou. They all experienced the hardships of war in their early years, so they have a deep understanding of this. "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate with the state government to defend our own homeland." Everyone said in unison.

Afterwards, Jinghan made arrangements for everyone to do next.Of course, the first priority is to plant the land as soon as possible.Food is the paramount necessity of the people. Whether it is peacetime or war, people have to eat, and if they don't eat, they can't do anything.So this food is the most important thing.

Now, no one knows when the war will spread to this side. Maybe the imperial army will be able to drive off the invasion of Beiyuan Kingdom soon, or it may take a long time. No one can predict this.But in any case, this grain is a necessary item.The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.As long as there is enough food, you can gain an advantage in the war.Now they don't know how long this war will take, so they must ensure the supply of food.

Under normal circumstances, it takes more than four months for food to be harvested. As long as there is nothing wrong with Xizhou in the past four months, the food they plant will become a guarantee for the future.So the first task now is to plant the land as soon as possible.

"Everyone, the current situation is not optimistic. We must not take chances and think that the Beiyuan Kingdom will not attack this side. Even if it is really impossible to attack this side, we must remain vigilant." Jinghan emphasized again After a while, let these people go back.

After all the stewards left, Jinghan thumped her waist, then went back to the house to rest for a while.

At night, Zixuan came back.Zixuan is also busy around these days, it is the season of spring plowing, and the people are busy working in the fields.Regarding the importance of food, Zixuan and his wife had the same aspirations, so Zixuan sent people to notify the following counties to ensure the progress of spring plowing.

In Xizhou this year, all the land has been planted with grain, and the rest of the crops have been replaced.The people of Xizhou still respect Zixuan as the governor of the state, and everyone is willing to listen to what Zixuan says.So these things went well.

"Miss, I heard that you ordered people to shut down all the wine shops?" Zixuan entered the room and saw Jinghan sewing small clothes for the child.He stretched out his arms to hug Jinghan, and put all the needles and threads in Jinghan's hands aside. "It's late at night, don't do these things, watch your eyes. You are still pregnant with the child, don't be too tired. The child was really bad when it came. If it really fights, what will you do? What should I do? Otherwise, I will send someone to take you home? After all, it is far away there, and there will be nothing to do for a while. I can feel relieved when you go back." Zixuan is real Some are worried about Jing Han.
