Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 567: Cloud Eighteen Designs Cloud (1)
Those officials who had feuds with the Li family and He Jingyan before went to the court and gathered in twos and threes to discuss.

"King Yan and Princess Huguo, one has soldiers, the other has money, and has been instructed by Li Bing, it's hard not to think about making meritorious service."

"King Yan just went to fief the land for a few days, and he spent so much money, only going out but not getting in. No matter how much money the Princess Protector has, she can't stop King Yan from making such a mess."

"If Li Bing had followed Li Bing, it would have been nice to assign Tianshui Mansion to King Yan as his fiefdom. Now that Tianshui Mansion has been destroyed, even if King Yan sells Princess Huguo, Tianshui will not be able to restore Tianshui's old appearance within ten years. .”

"It's only June now, and it's not yet July. Longland suffers from drought every year, and this year will be the same. The drought-affected land will not produce food, and the people will not be able to receive food in autumn, and they will starve to death in winter."

"The branch of the Yun clan has completely become enemies with King Yan. This time, the vitality of the main family of the Yun clan has been seriously injured. If the branches want to fight against King Yan, they have to wait for the main family to recover before they can be confident."

No matter how these people slandered He Jingyan and Li Jingjing, the people in the seven cities of the fief all praised the Tiger Ben Army for beating Huiyi badly, and the victims from Tianshui lived in new houses mixed with grass and mud to eat hot meals , I am grateful to the couple.

At dusk of this day, at the end of summer, Li Jingjing was talking to He Jingyan and Li Yunxiao who had just come back from work outside in the main courtyard of the Baihao Courtyard of King Yan's Mansion, and said softly: "Go and wipe your face, and come have dinner. "

He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing's high spirits, and asked with a smile, "My lady, is your business going well?"

Li Jingjing nodded, and said: "The people you sent me are capable, and the tasks assigned can be carried out in place, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Li Yunxiao asked: "Sister, brother-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Li Jingjing asked back: "Second brother, do you still remember the potatoes I asked the kitchen to cook when I just arrived in Jincheng a few days ago?"

A potato is a potato, an annual herb.It is very suitable for growing in alpine areas where the original grain output is extremely low and only naked oats (naked oats) can be grown. (Excerpt from Baidu)

Dingchao still has no potatoes.Li Jingjing discovered potatoes in plants sent by merchants from the Eastern Roman Empire.

She gave the potatoes to Yuyu in the Rejuvenation Medicine Mansion, and she got a lot of potatoes.

Li Yunxiao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I remember. I was so hungry that time, you and my brother-in-law walked with me in the garden for half an hour before I got rid of my hunger."

The couple looked at each other and smiled.In fact, the three of them were full that day, but the couple were too embarrassed to say so. They said they were taking a walk with Li Yunxiao to digest the food, but it was actually for their own sake.

Li Jingjing said: "I asked 20 people from your brother-in-law, and asked them to distribute the potatoes to the people in the counties and villages of Jincheng to plant them. After three months, the potatoes are ripe, and the palace will collect them with money."

The potatoes she gave to the people were all soaked in Fengchunling water, and the survival rate and yield would be several times higher.

He Jingyan pulled Li Yunxiao aside, and said in a low voice: "Second Brother, starting tomorrow, those 20 people will take Potato to the six cities in the fief. I think you should lead the team to be sure."

Apart from his careful thought of wanting to spend more time alone with Li Jingjing, the main reason is that this matter is related to the food rations of the people in the fief from September to next spring, and it is the top priority of this year's farming.

Li Yunxiao nodded and said: "My sister's business is my business. I will go."

He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing worriedly, and then said: "I will send two hundred tiger soldiers as guards for my second brother."

Li Yunxiao made a decapitation motion, and shouted in a low voice: "Hui Yi, if the Xiongnu dogs dare to assassinate my young master, come and kill me one by one, one by one!"

Li Jingjing was afraid that Li Yunxiao's arrogance would allow the bad guys to take advantage of him, and said: "You think your martial arts are the best in the world, and if you have the ability, you beat your brother-in-law."

Li Yunxiao said: "Sister, grandpa can only fight brother-in-law to a tie, how can I beat brother-in-law."

"I don't know what grandpa is doing in Chang'an now?" Li Jingjing has never complained to him since she learned that Li Bing wanted to assign the richest Tianshui in Longdi to He Jingyan as a fief after coming to Jincheng. a lot.

"Grandpa is enjoying dinner with grandma." He Jingyan said with a smile, "Let's go. It's been a hard day, and we are not made of iron, so let's go have dinner."

The smell of food wafting from the dining room of Baihao Court whetted the appetite of the three of them. Waiting to see the food on the table, two of them were made of potatoes, and they all smiled.

Many things in Jincheng are not as good as Chang'an and Tanzhou, but there are also good points, for example, the weather is not so hot in summer.Prince Yan's Mansion doesn't need ice cubes.

Zhuangzi, a branch of the Yun tribe at the foot of Baita Mountain, has a side hall with five courtyards. Several men and women sit and talk in a low voice.

"Li Shizi has brought people out of Jincheng early this morning. I heard that he is going west to teach the people how to grow potatoes in the six cities in Yama's fiefdom."

"For someone who has never been able to find a chance to get close to King Yama, this time Li Shizi went out alone, it is really a good opportunity."

"I heard from people in my family that I saw the family rules engraved on a big stone in the Li family in Chang'an, and the prohibition of going to brothels is one of them."

"A young man is full of vigor, but when he sees a beautiful woman, no matter how good his concentration is, he will have to break his kung fu."

"King Yan Luo killed our relatives. We hate each other. Since we can't touch him for the time being, let's start with the people around him."

"Then it's settled. I'll go to the west to arrange the layout and attract Li Shizi into the set."

"People, money, and things need to be used directly."

Several ghosts and ghosts Chongchong left several times, and one of them, a middle-aged man nicknamed Yun Shiba, went out of the yard and asked his elders for instructions, saying: "Nephew is going to the west to inspect the business of shops."

On that day, Yun Shiba took his entourage and went straight to Yumen City Mansion in the west.

The shops of the Yun family in the north are spread all over the city, and most of them sell tea and silk forgings, mainly to foreign businessmen.

Yumen City Mansion was the last stop on the Silk Road of the Ding Dynasty. The streets here used to be very prosperous. Later, the army of the Kai Dynasty was weak and incompetent. The Xiongnu, Tubo, Huiyi troops and even horse bandits all attacked, leading to rapid decline.

When the Ding Dynasty was first established, Li Bing suggested to He Dong to set up heavy troops in the Yumen city mansion and use experienced generals to defend the city, so as to keep the city mansion from being breached.

It's just that the veteran died of illness a few years ago, and Yumen City Mansion has become a piece of fat in the eyes of the Xiongnu, Tubo, and Huiyi. They think that if they seize the city, they can control the fortress of the Silk Road.

Seeing that the situation was unstable, businessmen from various countries withdrew their shops one after another.

The old patriarch of the Yun clan believed that as long as Li Bing was around, one day he would free his hands to help He Dong build the Yumen city mansion into a solid iron barrel, so that the Xiongnu, Tubo, and Huiyi would never be able to attack.
