Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 329
The small town in the far south of the Yangtze River is peaceful and peaceful, and it is a scene of a prosperous age, but the front and back of the city wall of the border gate are clamoring for the days that are not very peaceful.

When Dayan is about to start a new year, the small countries of Fanbang that have been subject to the rule have long been eyeing.

After all, there is no ethnic group who does not want to be able to live in the blessed land of the Central Plains and reproduce here. Decades ago, Yan Gaozong, the founding emperor of the Yan Dynasty, expanded the territory and unified all the small countries in the Central Plains. A piece of chaos returned under his rule and became the rule of Fukuzawa's prosperity that lasted for decades.

The time has come to today, and the fourth generation of Yan Gaozong's descendants have inherited the Datong, and continue to inherit the centuries-old prosperity brought by their ancestors' gold and iron horses.

It's just... Seeing that this prosperous Ankang is about to come to an end.

When urgent express mails were delivered continuously in the capital, some people who were officials in the court smelled some uneasy atmosphere.

The folk rumors started two or three months ago, border turmoil, foreign harassment, aliens endangering the people... all kinds of rumors have intensified.

On this day, Rong Shui and Rong Xiaomei were helping Li Shi to pack the clothes for the winter, Li Shi used to be a woman who didn't care much about state affairs, but now she was also worried, and kept sighing, Rong Shui then Some curiously asked: "Mom... what are you worrying about?"

Mrs. Li said to her two daughters: "The rumors in this city are becoming more and more exaggerated, saying that the war is about to start, and several camps at the border have been attacked by unknown aliens one after another. Sprinkle a poison that will leave no bones left, what else do you say... When the war comes in the future, we will definitely take down our Jiangcheng first."

Rong Shui asked strangely: "Mother, why did you take down our Jiangcheng first?"

Mrs. Li said: "I just heard about it. Do you know that Taizong decided to marry the princess of Dayan to their king in order to calm down the restless actions of Fanbang? At that time, Wuzhou City, which bordered our Jiangcheng, was used as The dowry was promised to their king, but later... our emperor was not happy to hand over my Dayan's land to others, so he never fulfilled the promise...sent troops to garrison there."

A few women here were talking, and Rong Zheng also came in at this time, and then said: "So... the various ethnic groups in Fanbang are more dissatisfied with our Dayan. If there is a real war, what is their goal? It may point directly at Wuzhou City, and then Wuzhou City falls...do you think there is any way for our Jiangcheng to survive?"

Rong Shui only found out about this matter now... After staying in Jiangcheng for so long, there is still such a period of history. This... Did the emperor go too far?Since you can't afford it... why don't you agree to give this in the first place?

After Rong Zheng finished speaking, he had a sad expression on his face. He is an honest and responsible farmer, just like the hope of ordinary people, he hates things like war, and because of these things, he has been a little worried in the past few days.

Rong Shui could see the reluctance of his parents, but... also knew something... How can these ordinary people change?
She said: "Father and mother...the war has not yet started? So you should stop worrying about it,"

Rong Zheng was not persuaded by Rong Shui, and he still couldn't let go of this matter, and specifically told Rong Shui, "Shui'er doesn't seem to open many new businesses this year, right? You're doing the right thing... the more When you are not calm, don't lock up your money."

This is an idea of ​​Rongzheng Security Insurance, and he also feels that it is a wise move to hold on to the current industry at this time.

Rong Shui was praised by Rong Zheng, and she was a little ashamed... She didn't open up new industries because of her keen intuition and fear of war, but because she had conflicts with Junli this year, so she didn't have much intention to let go on business.

It's hard for her to say anything, since parents think so... let them continue to misunderstand, it's not bad anyway.

I just mentioned the issue of the war. When I met Junli at the Huang Zhifu, he also said the same. There is no more peace.

Maybe... how long... will there really be a major event in this world?
So... should I make plans earlier now?Whether it is the property under your hand or the family and friends around you, you should have a preparation.

Rongzheng reminded Rongshui again at the end: "Shui'er...some things are easy to weigh, now the city is full of panic, I'm afraid the business will also decline, so just accept it...you don't need to be as usual , do you know how to accumulate wealth?"

Rong Shui accepted Rong Zheng's proposal, but at the same time, he also had some thoughts in his heart.

The things that should be started, now is the time to start.

For example, the Rong family's mines...Rong Shui never thought of distributing any national calamity or war wealth, and she didn't even want to touch the hard-earned money, let alone such unconscionable money.

She decided to put the mines into full operation, because once the war broke out, the imperial court would definitely expropriate and squeeze them out of these mines.

War means weapons, and weapons mean the need for endless steel forging, so once the front line is drawn, the iron mines everywhere will definitely be affected first.

At that time, the imperial court will expropriate more iron ore, and it is necessary to make complete preparations first.

As for Jun Li, the two of them can only drift away gradually... It is not what she wants, but it is not what she can do, so it can only be like this... It is a fruitless result.

Sure enough, the war started as soon as it was mentioned, and people were never prepared for it. When the faces of passers-by on the street looked hurried and frightened, Rong Shui had already realized that something was wrong.

Back home, Miss Rong ran over and said eagerly to Rong Shui: "Second Sister! Don't go out casually these days! You know that the news from the border now is that Fanbang has started fighting with the neighboring villages today! War is about to come!"

After hearing the news, Rong Shui was a little helpless...but he was not afraid. No matter how you put it, Jiangcheng and Wuzhou City were far away from the border. How could they get here when the war started?

But it can't be said that Rong Xiaomei is worrying for nothing... She said to her: "Little sister... don't be afraid, just attacked a border village... But after all, the two sides have not established a formal war yet!"

After saying this, Mrs. Li also came over, refuting Rong Shui's point of view with a face of disapproval, and said: "Shui'er is always so careless every time, who can explain clearly about this war... Although it is Both sides have not officially declared war, but it is estimated that it is not far away."

Li's melancholy eyes worried about the future of the world, the fate of his family, and the property that Rongshui had worked so hard for. Seeing that the whole family lived a few years of good life relying on Rongshui's ability... I don't know what kind of bumps and bumps I will face.

However, looking forward, it is almost the end of the new year, and it is worth being surprised that this year's refugees did not come to Jiangcheng as scheduled.

She was listening to Cheng Qijun's report at Shuangxia Villa, thinking about something.

Cheng Qijun looked at his boss like this, and insisted on solving her problems, he couldn't help expressing his own opinion first, and said: "My boss... I wonder if these refugees are not as good as they used to be because of this year's climate. It's so bad, and they have stored enough supplies for the winter...so they don't plan to come to Jiangcheng again to escape?"

Cheng Qijun's opinion seems to have some truths, but Rongshui thinks it is not so simple.

Needless to say, the climate in the north is still extremely cold...and are there enough supplies for the winter?She was skeptical about that anyway.

He only said to Cheng Qijun: "Where is it as good as you think? But... I hope they can live a good life and don't have to be wandering anymore...Since they won't come to Jiangcheng this year, Shuangxia Let's put aside the construction work that has been put on hold in the villa... Now that the situation is turbulent, there is no need to wantonly build these manor facilities."

Cheng Qijun nodded. Since the spring of this year, the refugees have built the preliminary project of Shuangxia, but there are still some buildings behind that have not been completed. Before Rongshui, he meant to wait for the winter of this year. When the refugees come back again, they will start construction ...But I didn't expect that when the times were turbulent, the refugees would also miss the appointment, and put it aside. In fact, it seems to be a wise decision from now on.

He said: "My boss's decision is correct... In the past one or two months, the business of Shuangxia Villa has also declined. It seems that the turbulent situation at the border... has still affected the mood of the dignitaries to have fun."

Who says it's not... In the current situation, although the border is far away from Jiangcheng, who can live in such a troubled world?

Rongshui told Cheng Qijun: "Maybe, try to minimize our losses, let some servants stay at home, reduce the previous budget for purchasing goods, and temporarily close the villa for a while if there are no guests. It's been good for a while."

After giving such orders, Cheng Qijun was a little surprised...Although Shuangxia Villa is indeed showing some signs of loss...but there is no need to close it, right?What is Rong Shui's plan?
He asked his own doubts, and said: "Rongdong's family?... Now, are we going to close the daily business of Shuangxia Villa? After all, the villa has not reached that point yet."

Rong Shui knew a truth deeply in his heart. It seems that Shuangxia Villa has not yet reached the point where it must close down. However, in such an uneasy situation, this kind of place similar to entertainment and fireworks, the income will decrease day by day, and the loss Increased.

In troubled times...these are all to be experienced, and this point has also been mentioned in many historical novels I have read.Rather than watching Shuangxia go into decline step by step in the end... why not close this place now, anyway, the Rong family's property does not rely on Shuangxia's income for a living.

Rong Shui said to Cheng Qijun: "I've already decided that it won't necessarily be of any use if I stick to this place, and not many people like to go out for fun in winter, so you don't have to worry too much, Qi Jun... Shuangxia is only temporarily closed."
