But said that Rongcheng Guogong Mansion, Zhenguo Gong held a letter and frowned, Zhou Tianhao, who came in to ask for peace, had just come back from outside, in the early years, the father of Zhenguo Gong followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions, and saved the life of the emperor when he was against the enemy, and was given the surname of the country by the emperor and named the town of Guogong.

Due to some special reasons, the then Zhenguo Gong and the emperor talked all night, the next day to ask for a letter to leave Kyoto, the emperor thanked him for his merits, and then ordered the Zhou family to live in Rongcheng in the north of the Zhou Dynasty for generations, and hereditary Rongcheng supervisor position.

The old Zhenguo Gong Rong Ma life, the first emperor of the immortal went to thank him for his merits and loyalty, passed the title to the current Zhenguo Gong, and ordered the Zhou family to guard the northern fortress - the north gate of the Zhou Dynasty Rongcheng for generations.

Zhenguo Gong has two sons, the eldest son Zhou Tianhao is the current Rongcheng Supervisor Army, and he has been awarded the prestige of the current saint because of his repeated military exploits. married his wife Shen and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, Zhou Muhan is the eldest son, the second son is eight years old, the concubine is ten years old, and another concubine is raised under his name.

Zhou Tianjun, the youngest son of Zhenguo Gong, served as a household servant in Kyoto, the official residence is four products, married the daughter of the Xie family in Kyoto, has three daughters, no children, Mrs. Tai once persuaded Zhou Tianjun to take a concubine, but it is a pity that the Xie family is strong, and Zhou Tianjun and his wife are harmonious, and they have not succeeded several times.

Mrs. Tai was also out of reach, so the matter was stopped, but this also became Mrs. Tai's heart disease, every time Zhou Tianhao's family came to Rongcheng for the New Year, they would talk for a few days, which made Zhou Tianjun very helpless.

Zhou Tianjun did not come for the Chinese New Year this year, the reason was that the emperor was seriously ill, several princes were fighting openly and secretly, and several major forces in Kyoto were also ready to move, but fortunately, the treatment was timely and he is now recovering.

After this incident, the emperor pre-appointed the crown prince, but the first queen only gave birth to one son, for the current prince Fu Shu, who is twenty years old, was born with cold poison, although after many treatments, it can only be suppressed and cannot be eliminated at all!

Although the eldest prince is frail, he has been smart and studious since he was a child, with a calm bearing, and a thousand chests, and he has always been the emperor's most valued son, so the prince has not been established for a long time

The emperor is a wise man, knowing that the eldest prince is the most suitable heir to the throne, but because of physical reasons, he is hindered, and every time he thinks of it, the emperor feels heartache

This illness shows that the second prince Fu Rui is quite powerful, and behind him is the queen's mother's family, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The eldest prince has been assassinated twice recently, but fortunately there are secret guards who sacrifice their lives to protect him!

The emperor saw from this incident that he had been committed to state affairs in the past few years and had not suppressed these forces, which caused today's situation.

Zhen Guogong received the secret letter, called back his son in the military camp, and handed the letter to Zhou Tianhao.

After Zhou Tianhao read it carefully, he carefully folded it and put it in the dark compartment behind the bookshelf.

solemnly said to the old father: "The eldest prince is only afraid of more than auspicious on this trip, according to the news from the younger brother, the second prince is arrogant and cruel, the emperor has not set up the prince for a long time, his intentions are obvious, so he has become a thorn in the eyes of the second prince, just because of physical reasons, the second prince temporarily endured it, but this time the saint was sick and caused them to be unbearable." ”

Zhen Guogong nodded, the Zhou family has been loyal for generations, there is no party division, but only loyal to the emperor, which is also the reason why the Guogong Mansion is deeply trusted by the emperor.

"The eldest prince will set off in ten days, you go to the iron-blooded camp to select a hundred sergeants, you personally lead, go to Kyoto to meet the eldest prince, remember, don't get close to Kyoto, you do a good job of receiving Qingcheng Mountain a hundred miles away, where the terrain is complicated, easy to ambush, you have to check carefully, don't underestimate the enemy!"

"Yes, father." Zhou Tianhao strode out of the study, leaving Zhen Guogong to ponder secretly

Yanmen Pass, the last barrier in the north of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Muhan stood on the city wall, the cold north wind blew the black cloak rattling, Zhou Muhan supported the wall and looked north, across a wide river is the Beichen Kingdom, which is a people on horseback, living on the grassland for generations, and the Zhou Dynasty is constantly rubbing.

But because Rongcheng has a town of Guogong to sit in the battle, never dare to attack, recently and ready to move, according to the Shenji Battalion sergeant report, three months ago Beichen Kingdom even snowfell, resulting in herdsmen and cattle and sheep freezing to death countless people, in this lack of food and clothing, Beichen Kingdom wants to take risks, invade Rongcheng to seize food.

Zhou Muhan has been taught by the Duke of Zhenguo since he was a child, and the idea of loyalty and patriotism is deep-rooted, so at this time, if the other party dares to attack, he will definitely be told to go and never return!

In the southern farm of Rongcheng, a carriage loaded with grain and cloth came to the gate of Zhuangzi, the coachman was Du Tiezhu, a villager of Dujia Village five miles away, and Uncle Wang gave him ten Wen, Du Tiezhu did not dare to ask for it, because the nearby villagers knew that this small Zhuangzi was the property of the Guogong Mansion.

Uncle Wang was an easy-going and talkative person, and soon the two became acquainted, and Tie Zhu also left his initial fear behind, and promised to find an honest and reliable farmer for Uncle Wang.

Tie Zhu has a lot of strength, and he unloaded the seeds and other things on the car in a few moments, Wang Bo became more and more happy, and invited Tie Zhu into the house to drink, Tie Zhu shook his head again and again, with joy on his honest face, this is the person of the Hou Ye's family, he actually invited him to drink, and waited for tomorrow to show off with the mountains

Before leaving, he left his contact information, telling Uncle Wang that he was in Dujia Village, which was not far from here, and that his family was the first in the village, and that he could just shout when he used the car in the future.

Uncle Wang sent away the iron pillar, Mama Wang also opened the door and helped Uncle Wang move things in, this time Uncle Wang also bought a few batches of cotton cloth, which was asked by the young lady, Gu Xinyu also wore the only plain velvet embroidered jacket at this time, and came to the courtyard with Chunmei, Gu Xinyu checked the seeds bought by Uncle Wang one by one, not bad, most of them were very full.

Uncle Wang bought more seeds this time, chestnut rice, rice, soybeans, sorghum peanuts, etc., in fact, rice is rice, chestnut rice is millet, soybeans are soybeans, and there are some common vegetable watermelon seeds, there is a small black bag that attracted Gu Xinyu's attention, Uncle Wang saw Gu Xinyu staring at the black bag, and hurriedly opened the bag, and several things rolled out inside.

"Corn!" Gu Xinyu exclaimed. Chunmei hurriedly held the young lady, don't flash her waist!

"This is sent by the shopkeeper of the grain store, he said that it was brought from a country in the west, and no one knows it, big girl, how do you know this?" Uncle Wang asked suspiciously as he explained.

"I saw it from a miscellaneous book, this is a good thing, the yield is high, and it is full of treasures, I will tell you in detail in the future, Uncle Wang, you will put these seeds in the warehouse."

Gu Xinyu suppressed his surprise and asked

These seeds and other things cost a total of more than five taels of silver, Gu Xinyu admired Uncle Wang more and more, this cliff is a master bargaining!

It's February now, and there is still more than a month to sow seeds, and many things should be put on the agenda, Gu Xinyu discussed with Uncle Wang about hiring farmers, and followed Uncle Wang's advice to find it from Dujia Village.

After discussing the matter, Gu Xinyu was also tired, returned to the hall and drank some warm water, the charcoal basin was burned indoors, and a large amount of charcoal was placed behind the courtyard, which should have been forgotten by the former Zhuangtou.

As the indoor temperature slowly rose, Gu Xinyu thought, after the autumn harvest, the house will be renovated, and there must be a kang in the bedroom.

Gu Xinyu sighed, and then thought of the corn and rice that Uncle Wang brought back, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, with these two things, the family in Jiangnan can be brought in in the autumn, and his father is full of talent but has become a commoner, maybe with these two treasures that can make the agriculture of the Zhou Dynasty take a big step, it is unknown for his father to recover!
