Chapter 193: The Reason for Retreating from the Enemy

Master Xile was very happy to see the apprentice he hadn't seen for a long time, and after waiting for Du Xiaoxi to kowtow, he greeted enthusiastically: "Come on!" Let Master take a good look! ”

Du Xiaoxi stepped forward with the master's chrysanthemum face in a daze, I haven't seen her for two years, and the master is as enthusiastic as fire!

Master Xile didn't wait for Du Xiaoxi to stand still, he stood up directly and stretched out his hand to hug the son in Du Xiaoxi's arms.

"The heavenly court is full of official dinner, and the earth pavilion is in charge, so he looks rich and noble!" Master Xile squinted at Du Xiaoxi and sighed.

Ay! Master is as enthusiastic as fire, but unfortunately it's not me.

It's my son who is even happier!

During pregnancy, Du Xiaoxi ate and drank well, and after that, she also ate more about what was nutritious, although now Du Xiaoxi is still as chubby as when she was pregnant, but her son was also raised with a red light and a chubby face.

A five-month-old doll, full of meat. Grinning, stupid don't don't.

Du Xiaoxi stepped forward and stood beside the master, and said proudly: "Yes, yes, Master, you see how cute he looks, Master, you don't know how beautiful his eyes are when he wakes up, and the hearts of people who look wet have melted." ”

It was rare for Master Xile not to interject and listen to Du Xiaoxi show off how good her son was. The old lady and Second Master Liu also nodded beside them.

The old lady wanted to get to the master to discuss in detail how to be rich and noble, but the time was limited, and the master of joy waited for Du Xiaoxi to finish talking and drove people away!

The Master has very, very important things to do, and he has no time to deal with you mortals.

Du Xiaoxi came with big bags and small bags, and still went with big bags and small bags.

Sitting in the carriage, thinking about Senior Brother Huaiming's words, Du Xiaoxi fell into deep thought.

The truckloads of things that Master gave me this time were all grain seeds collected from the wandering places. Master's meaning is also very clear, he still wants Du Xiaoxi to study how to increase grain production for the benefit of the people.

This matter, the Du family once did.

It's a pity that it didn't stick to it for various reasons, and now Shanshui County relies on geography to make all kinds of small businesses prosperous.

Following the small toys, all kinds of plush dolls and small animals are the best-selling, and now many people in Shanshui County raise rabbits, which are specially made for toys. In addition to these various gadgets that Du Xiaoxi can think of, there are endless ones, and cheap handicrafts can be seen everywhere. Relying on these small crafts and canals, every family lives happily.

It's not that Master Joy didn't think about studying food himself. Reality doesn't allow it.

Successive emperors wanted to weaken the power of Buddhist temples. Emperor Jiayuan has been preparing to recover the land and people under the name of the Buddhist temple since he banned monks from becoming officials many years ago. Whether this matter is the reign of Emperor Jiayuan or the coming to power of Shang Qing in the future, it will inevitably happen, and Master Xile does not intend to make trouble for himself.

No matter what you study. Money is indispensable. The Du family has no economic foundation. A few years ago, I could only walk around a few acres of land at home. Even if I had any ideas, I didn't have the courage to try it with the family's rations for a year. The Liu family is different, the Liu family is rich, and Du Xiaoxi is also rich. After giving birth to a child, the two elders of the Liu family rewarded Du Xiaoxi, Shopkeeper and Zhuangzi several times.

If Du Xiaoxi really wants to do it, he has financial and material resources, and he is not afraid of being cut off if he has achievements in the future. The time and place are favorable, just waiting for Du Xiaoxi to work with his arms!

Du Xiaoxi thought about it, ya! Done!

Du Xiaoxi was in full swing to inspect the grange given by his father-in-law and uncle, and asked people to plant the things given by the master in different categories, and gathered a group of veterans to study how to increase production. The Master of Joy, who had just returned and had not stopped for two days, had done another big thing.

When Dashang suffered a century-old flood, there was a shortage of food and proposed to Fanxi to exchange a large amount of salt. In the face of this kind of good thing, it stands to reason that Fanxi should immediately agree with a joyful gesture of pie falling from the sky, after all, several other countries have always strictly controlled the salt output of Fanxi, and it can be less than more. As long as the salt is well sealed, it will not be a problem to store it for decades, and the big businessmen can't be happier with a large amount of salt in exchange.

But at that time, Fanxi suddenly increased the price of grain several times, and the angry Emperor Jiayuan couldn't wait to make an order not to sell a single or two salts to Fanxi in the future.

After that, the remnants of the former dynasty united with the Beichang Yunguo to take advantage of the disaster of the Great Shang, even if they did not destroy the Great Shang, they would bite off a large piece of meat. In fact, at that time, the remnants of the former dynasty not only contacted Beichang and Yunguo, but also Fanxi, but later, for some reason, the Fanxi army that had already been on the border of Chen Bing actually retreated, and even directly withdrew from the alliance of the three kingdoms!

Not many people knew about the alliance of the three countries at the beginning, after all, Fanxi went back before he arrived at the place, but almost all the high-level officials of the big merchants knew about it. Although I don't know the reason why Fanxi inexplicably withdrew from the army, one by one I can only be happy. Later, a series of victories also made them selectively forget about this matter.

Later, Master Joy appeared in the Black Water Collar, and everyone knew that it was the credit of Master Joy. As for how the master did it? It must be a master's eloquence!

Every monk is an excellent psychologist and linguist, and Master Xile must have relied on his superb professional skills to make Emperor Fanxi realize that it was an unforgivable mistake of the Buddha to rob while he was on fire, and he changed his past mistakes and became an honest emperor!

As a result, the love letter written by Master Xile to the emperor a few days ago made the truth come to light!

The master lured him with profit, and Emperor Fanxi couldn't stand the compromise!

Master Joy said to Emperor Fanxi: Sick! Gotta be cured! The old man has a cure for the big neck disease!

Emperor Fanxi: The master is wise and martial, the master is right, what is the master's method?

And then decisively retreated!

Big neck disease is a very common terminal disease in Fanxi, yes! It's a terminal illness!

It is one thing for the sick person's neck to become bigger and not look good, but more importantly, some of them are short-tempered and mentally abnormal, and often engage in some violent incidents that annoy the yamen in various places. There are also some who suddenly fainted and could not be saved from their young age.

All in all, there are too many accidents with big neck diseases among the people in Fanxi, and many of them make the Panxi Emperor want to cry.

Suddenly, when he heard that Master Xile knew how to prevent and treat the big neck disease, Emperor Fanxi moved to kick the presiding officer of the royal temple away and let Master Xile sit on it. Say whatever you say, you have to leave the master, and whatever you say, you have to leave the cure for the big neck disease! Stay! Stay!

Although the master couldn't stay, the master said that as long as you quit the army, you will be sued.

So, Emperor Fanxi decisively agreed to withdraw his troops!

I have been emperor for many years! I'm not a fool, my lord!

The people of the big merchants said well, waiting for the big merchants to be destroyed, they will sit on the throne, and there will definitely be a lot of salt discounts in the future. This promise is okay for a year or two, and after a few decades, the Emperor of Dashang will definitely not be able to help but raise the price.

Anyway, those people won't give him a lot of salt generously!

Emperor Fanxi finally agreed to Master Xile, and retired from the army, just to change the method of treating the big neck disease!

Master Xile's love letter was very simple, that is, to inform the emperor that the kelp produced in the vast coastal area of His Majesty Dashang could prevent the disease of the big neck, and asked Emperor Jiayuan to arrange for his officials to move quickly. Prepare kelp and wait for the people of Fanxi to buy it!

What a bonus!

Emperor Jiayuan felt that the method that Master Joy said was very much in line with my heart.

There is very little fertile land in the coastal areas, and the people mostly make a living by boiling salt and going to the sea to fish.

When the Panxi grain merchant pulled a large amount of grain to exchange for what the master said could cure the big neck disease, he saw that the kelp was fished out of the sea again, and he almost cried and fainted in the toilet.

It's really too much to deceive people, so they bullied us that there is no sea in Fanxi!

The grain merchants of Fanxi dragged the sea away bitterly.

Kyoto is boiling again, and Master Kiraku is really good at medicine, and this stubborn disease can be cured, and they have to give it a try. So all kinds of strange diseases came to Xile Temple, and the two princes who heard about a certain armpit odor and foot odor also followed, and then the brothers went home crying together.

After a hundred years of floods and wars, Dashang was greatly damaged. In various places, Du Xiaoxi also concentrates on raising his son at home.

Today is a rare sunny day, and the sunlight shines through the sparse leaves in front of the window on the big bed near the window. The edge of the bed is blocked by a small fence wrapped in cotton cloth to prevent the child from falling, and Du Xiaoxi takes the child to play on it.

Xiaoxing can already sit and crawl, Du Xiaoxi is afraid that he will suddenly attack and poke him, and he doesn't dare to sit on the needlework next to him, just sit next to him and watch.

The bed was littered with cotton toys of all sizes, most of which were sent by the Liu family's fleet by Daddy Du and his brothers. The little star is the time to catch something to gnaw, Du Xiaoxi thinks that the plush toy is good-looking, but after all, it is easy to grow things made of rabbit skin, so he only left the puppet made of cotton on the bed.

"Yikes! Yikes! In the autumn, Xiaoxing has changed into a thin jacket, and her round body is crawling around on the bed, turning her head to Du Xiaoxi from time to time to say a few words.

Du Xiaoxi smiled and followed the bull's head to the horse's mouth, and the little guy happily moved over.

Du Xiaoxi looked at her son's red teeth, leaned forward to scoop up the person, and kissed the white and tender little face, "I'm so happy!" As he spoke, he wiped away a trace of saliva from the little star with a handkerchief.

"Yikes! Yikes! Little Star grabbed her mother's shirt and drilled into her arms, her mouth opening one by one to eat.

Du Xiaoxi closed the window and began to feed the child, Xiaoxing ate it for a while, and then moved to the other side and swallowed slowly, looking at Du Xiaoxi from time to time.

Du Xiaoxi patted his writhing little buttocks, and said angrily: "Don't be awkward! Eat! ”

Xiaoxing looked at her mother and stopped smiling, her moist eyes blinked, and she sped up and ate it.

"Little Star is so good, wait for my mother to make delicious eggs for Little Star to eat, okay?"

The little star blinked, and when he was full, he climbed up and down around Du Xiaoxi.

Uncle recently picked up the old lady to live in for a few days, and Second Master Liu also went to Kyoto because of business matters, and the master of the family was only left with Du Xiaoxi and his wife with children, which was a rare peace.

Xiaoxing's energy was limited, and the warm sun shone brightly, and after crawling for a while, he fell asleep on Du Xiaoxi's legs.

Du Xiaoxi carefully moved away, brought a small pillow and quilt at the head of the bed and covered Xiaoxing, and shouted softly Seeing that Xiaoxing was sleeping sweetly, he called Fangcao to come in and sit next to him, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
