The beautiful man is coming: the supernatural peasant girl is really happy

Chapter 781 Shopping 2
After telling what he knew, Si Yaojin nodded after listening. He felt that he should find some land that was not too severely affected by the disaster to grow corn. They needed to be prepared for the Nanman matter.

The recent drought has become more and more serious. Even the Zhuangzi belonging to Si Yaojin and the others are in severe water shortage, and they can't grow crops at all, so he looked at Bailai.

Being watched by such eyes, Bai Lai gave him a surprised look, "What's wrong?" she asked.

Si Yaojin said what she wanted to ask, "Lai Lai, can we still grow corn on our land?"

Bai Lai glanced at him, "What do you think, I'm in the capital with you now, how could I know?"

With a wry smile, Si Yaojin said, "I was being abrupt, that's all, then I'll send someone over there to ask Mother to see if the freshly harvested land over there is moist enough."

"Well, you go." Bai Lai did not object.

After Si Yaojin finished speaking, he felt a little worried again. He said, "Even if the land over there is fine, the food grown is still a drop in the bucket. This is really..."

Frowning tightly, Si Yaojin's expression was ugly.

Bai Lai was a little strange. He had found it strange that he went to his own family to prepare food before, and she always wanted to ask a question, so she asked, "Master, is there not even a little food in the treasury?"

Si Yaojin smiled wryly, "Indeed there isn't."

"What's going on here?" If she remembers correctly, some of the grain taxes collected from all over the country will be stored in the state's grain depot every year, although sometimes a batch of old grain will be disposed of , but definitely not without it.

Seeing her puzzled look, Si Yaojin gave the answer, "You still remember the fact that the second elder brother ascended the throne less than two years ago."

Glancing at him, Bailey said, "Of course I remember."

"Before we ascended the throne, we and several other brothers experienced a great war. At that time, the grain in the grain depot was burned, so the grain that was used for disaster relief this year was actually the batch that was harvested last year. Now in the grain depot, except There is nothing else to supply the palace with food."

Bai Lai took a breath, and only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter.

As Si Yaojin's concubine, she had to worry about this matter, so she pondered for a while before answering.

"Master, don't worry too much. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. If it really comes to that time, we may turn to Chongxuan for help."

Hearing the name Chongxuan, Si Yaojin's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of displeasure in her eyes.

Bai Lai felt a little funny looking at him like this, and she continued, "Okay, don't be jealous, I really have nothing to do with him."

"I believe you, but I just feel uncomfortable."

Sighing, he continued, "And even if I went to talk to Chongxuan, he might not be able to help."

Bailey was surprised, "Why?"

Si Yaojin was silent for a while and broke the news, "In fact, Chongxuan is not from our Great Yao Dynasty."

"what?"

"Their base camp has always been in the Western Regions."

Bai Lai was puzzled, and she said, "If that's the case, then what's the matter with them in our main house in Dayao?"
