Rebirth of First Daughter

Wheat is harvested in July and millet in September. The harvest of millet is not as good as that of wheat, but compared with previous years, it is still very gratifying.

After killing several unscrupulous merchants, the government set the lowest grain price. Now the grain price in Northwest China is very stable.

Looking at the folding from the place, Yuxi also has a rare smile on his face. More than half of the government's granaries were filled with all kinds of grain.

Seeing this, Xu Wu asked, "princess, will you go to Jiangnan to buy grain this year?" In the past two years, we have purchased a large amount of grain from Jiangnan, Taiyuan and other places. Because it's a long way to go, and it's not peaceful on the road now, the cost of buying grain is actually very high.

Yuxi said, "I want to buy it." In fact, the government does not store much grain now, and it can't sustain natural and man-made disasters for even a year.

"Princess, the grain price in Jiangnan is 20% higher than last year's," Xu said Jiangnan has been relatively smooth in the past two years, and there have been no major natural and man-made disasters. But Hubei, Henan and other places have rebelled from time to time. In addition, many people have died in recent years, and large areas of land are abandoned. There is no food in these places, so they have to buy food from outside. As a result, the price of food increases year by year.

Yu Xi frowned and said, "the price of grain is higher than last year, so we have to buy more."

Xu Wu didn't understand and asked, "we have a good grain harvest this year, and there will be more food next year when potato is fully promoted. Why go to Jiangnan to buy so much food?" The grain they bought was not transported from Henan, but from Hubei.

People who have been hungry like to store food, and Yuxi is no exception. I always feel that I don't have food in my hand. I'm very flustered and insecure, but I can't say it. Yuxi said, "can you guarantee that next year will be as good as this year?"

Xu Wu shook his head. No one can guarantee such a thing.

Yuxi said, "this is it. If there is a natural disaster, it will have to be twice or even several times more than it is now to buy food. " When there is a rebellion, even if you buy food, you will be robbed

In the evening, Yuxi told Yunqing about it: "I want to spend another million silver on grain this year." In addition to grain, other things like beans and brown sugar have to be stored.

Yunqing looked at Yuxi and asked suspiciously, "our harvest this year is very good. There's no need to buy so much food? Besides, we have potato. " This year's harvest of potato is very good, and Tian Yang has bought back more than 40000 Jin of seeds, so it can be planted in a large area this year.

Yuxi said: "four years ago, one or two silver could buy three stone grain, but now one or two silver and two stone grain can't buy. Once there is a natural disaster, the rich can't buy food. There is a lot of grain in our granary, but it can only last until April or may next year. " In times of turmoil, only a few Jin of grain could be bought for a silver or two, not even for a silver or two.

Yuxi likes to save more food. As a pillow man, Yunqing doesn't know how to save more food. Yunqing finds Yuxi's hobby very interesting.

Yun Qing said with a smile, "I like to store grain so much. I don't know. I thought you were hungry." Yuxi is the daughter of the government. Even when he was a child, he could not be liked by Han Jingyan, and he could not go hungry. Besides, she has a big room to look after.

Yuxi's heart jumped, but his face didn't show: "I didn't hear you say that because of natural disasters, you were gnawing grass and roots because of lack of food? We have food in our hands. If there is a natural disaster, the officers and soldiers will no longer have to suffer like that. "

Cloud engine is not against, is joking, but Yuxi's answer let him very satisfied: "so much grain, granary also can't store."

Yuxi shook his head and said, "horui, these grains will not be put in the granary of the government." Yuxi is preparing to store these grains secretly.

Yun Qing was a little surprised and asked, "do you mean to hide these grains? Why hide the grain? " Now they are the masters of the country in Northwest China, so there is no need to hide food. Unless Yuxi has other ideas.

Yuxi said: "it's not to hide, it's not to let the spies of the imperial court know where we hide our grain. Hurui, I always feel that the next two years will not be like now. If we save more grain now, we will have more stability in the northwest in the future. " As long as there is food, the northwest will always be flat.

Cloud Qing heart a Lin, ask a way: "you dream to see what bad matter?" It's normal to think that. It was a very gratifying thing to have collected so much grain. As a result, Yuxi now says natural disaster and has to make Yunqing think more.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "no, I just have this feeling."

Cloud Qing thought for a moment, nodded: "the granary thing to me to deal with." In case of being discovered, the army will build it in a secret place, so that the spies can't find out if they want to.

Yuxi said, "it's better to build more." The more food she saved, the more secure she was when the disaster came.

Yun Qing joked: "is ten granaries enough?" Seeing that Yuxi shakes his head and says that at least twenty should be built, Yunqing laughs.

Yunqing didn't give it to just one person to build granaries. Instead, he gave secret orders to the generals of the garrison to build more granaries in the garrison. Yuxi also knows that the location of military grain storage is secret and good, so he specially tells Yunqing about it.

Master Yuan Ying was a little puzzled when he heard that Yunqing wanted to build several military granaries. He asked Yunqing, "Lord, what are you doing to build so many granaries? Is there any disaster? "

Yun Qing said with a smile: "madam, the annual harvest may not be as good as it is now. If we buy more grain, there will be a natural disaster. We are not afraid of grain in our hands."

Yuan Ying had some doubts about Yun Qing's words and said, "how does the princess know that next year's harvest will be bad?" Can the princess still calculate and predict.

Yunqing can't say that Yuxi relies on intuition, because it's too playful: "she also listens to the old farmer below. I don't think it's reliable, but she thinks it's safe to save some grain. "

Yuan Ying didn't agree with Yun Qing's words: "thanks to madam's caution. Otherwise, we could not have fought so smoothly last year. " If Yuxi had not bought so much grain the year before last, they would not have been so smooth. They all suffered from hunger and suffering. Yuan Ying agreed with both hands to save more food.

Cloud Qing laughs: "she this decision, pour is very get your idea."

Yuan Ying didn't think much, and said, "I don't want to live any longer when I tighten my belt." In fact, like Yuan Ying's current position, even if there is a natural disaster, they will not be hungry. There is really no food. The starving people are the soldiers and ordinary people below.

In late October, some candidates arrived at ho Cheng. Because Yuxi made a speech, so there is an inn in Ho City which is specially for these examinees. It's free to eat and live in it, and you can live until you get a grade.

In the first competition, only more than 500 people were admitted; The number of students enrolled in the second rural examination was even smaller, only 98. But it's not easy to live the second game.

Yuxi will draw up the title of the scientific examination to cloud engine to see. The examination was the same as the imperial examination. It was divided into three sessions, each for three days. The first is the proposition of four books and five classics, the second is the question, and the third is the historical theory.

Yunqing takes it and takes a serious look. After reading, cloud Qing toward Yuxi said: "this matter to you to deal with." The four books and five classics were all forced to finish by my husband. I didn't read anything about history. If you ask him to read the paper, his head will hurt.

Yuxi also knows Yunqing's weakness, so he doesn't expect him to come: "if you don't have any opinions, then it's settled." Although Yuxi read many books and had rich theoretical knowledge, he knew nothing about the scientific examination. So this time we mainly rely on Han Jianming and Tan Tuo. Although Han Jianming did not take part in the scientific examination, he came into contact with it. And Tan Tuo is a person who has experienced the scientific examination.

Of course, Yunqing has no problem.

Yuxi put the subject on the table and said, "it's not a matter for jujubes to hide in the front yard every day." In order not to read and practice calligraphy, jujube simply stayed in the front yard at night and didn't come back. But Huo Changqing and Yunqing think that jujube is still small, and it's not too late to study and practice calligraphy in two years, so they both protect jujube and let jujube live in the front yard.

Yun Qing said with a smile: "the child is still young. If you ask her to read and read, she will forget it soon. It's not too late to let her learn in two years. " Yunqing started to read and practice calligraphy at the age of five.

In fact, jujube is only three and a half years old, and it is only five years old two years later. When I was five years old, I began to read and practice calligraphy. But Jujube's attitude made Yuxi realize that reading and calligraphy can't be postponed. If we don't stick to it now, we will be more and more unable to control it in two years.

When Yuxi heard this, he said angrily, "I seem to abuse her." Yuxi's demand for jujube was not high. That is to make jujube recognize three or five words every day, write each word ten times, and recite a short paragraph of "Three Character Classic". Unfortunately, in Yuxi's eyes, the simple and easy course is a heavy task for jujube.

Cloud engine said helplessly: "children don't like it, it's no use forcing. The more you push, the less she wants to learn. " He had a deep understanding of the pain of being forced to study, so he thought it was not good to use this method.

Yuxi said: "if you don't force her to learn, she won't be able to recognize all the characters in the future." See cloud Qing also want to open mouth to talk, jade Xi shakes his head a way: "other affairs can discuss to come, this matter didn't have to talk." By Yun Qing's temperament, it is estimated that jujube will become blind when it grows up.

After a pause, Yuxi said, "I'm going to hire a teacher to teach jujube. I don't need to study for long. I only need one hour every day."

Cloud Qing frowned, but he also knew that Yuxi's decision could not be changed: "don't invite those old scholars. Those old scholars are old-fashioned. If you invite such a person to be Mr. zaozao, I guess zaozao will be even more reluctant to learn at that time. " He was bored with it, not to mention jujube.

Yuxi is not unreasonable, but this time the implementation of tough means is also forced by jujube. This child does not force, jade Xi nods a way: "Sir's choice, I will be careful."
