Yun Zheng Ge stepped on a pair of cloth shoes with a thousand soles under his feet, and walked quickly on the mountain path with a load of firewood, followed by a long line of people behind him, each carrying firewood on his shoulders, which was enough for the people in the village to use for a long time.

For some reason, a forest died on the South Mountain, and the old patriarch ordered the whole clan to go there to cut wood, and the thick ones were cut into logs, which were used to build houses and sheds in the future, and the remaining dead branches could only be used as firewood.

As a member of the village, Yun Zheng naturally would not lag behind, and as soon as dawn he took the monkey, Han Niu and thirty generals to follow the people in the village up the mountain.

The old patriarch peeled off the bark of a tree and said: "The trees here have insects, and the big insects have all burrowed into the heart of the tree, no wonder all the trees here are dead, but unfortunately, these trees are not used as pillars, they can only be burned into charcoal, otherwise when the insects hatch in the spring, more trees will be harmed, and they will all be cut down, and none of them can be left."

When spring comes, we'll replant some more trees......"

Although the old patriarch did not explain the reason, everyone still did things according to the old rules in the mountains, cutting wood, picking firewood, and the whole day passed quietly.

The bright clothes on the daughters of the Yun family have also been put away, and they can be worn in the city, but in the countryside, cotton clothes are the most suitable.

Lu Qingqing has evolved to the point where it doesn't matter what clothes he wears, with a handkerchief on his head, while feeding the chickens in the chicken pen, while reprimanding the shopkeeper here with a gloomy face.

"Over the years, I have put you in this good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but as a result, you have not achieved any performance, but have lost two trade routes and six people. Even if the Tubo people are domineering, they are not capable of exercising their prestige on our territory.

Say, what happened to the Wonsan trade route? The head of the family made a lot of money from running this business road back then, why did he immediately rot when he handed it over to you? ”

An old shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and said, "Mrs. Hui, it's not that the villain is not satisfied." It's because the war has started again on the Wonsan side......"

Lu Qingqing wrinkled his brows and said: "The barbarians are always fighting, and they haven't stopped all these years, it's not surprising, doesn't it mean that business is easy to do when there is a war?" ”

The old shopkeeper hurriedly defended: Madame doesn't know, our family has sold herbs to Yuanshan over the years, and the court has sold swords to that side. Cows, sheep and livestock tendons, horns, skins and horsetails were recovered.

In the early days of the war, those red-eyed Tubo people were willing to pay anything in exchange for medicinal herbs and weapons, and for a few years. The livestock there is already very scarce, and it is difficult to receive the goods, and those leaders still want our herbs and the sword of the imperial court, but they can't exchange anything. If you want to take credit, the villain naturally doesn't do it, who will give the goods to the poor ghost on credit? On the way back, those poor and crazy leaders came to grab things, although they were repelled by our guards, they still injured six people, and the villain was not thoughtful. Please dispose of it, Mrs. ”

When Lu Qingqing heard the shopkeeper say this, he also lost his anger and threw the last handful of rice grains in the basket to the chickens. I invited the old shopkeeper to the living room for tea.

Lu Qingqing took a sip of tea and asked, "Is the situation there bad?" ”

The old shopkeeper wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead and said: "It is because the business quota is constantly shrinking, the villain personally walked to the plateau this autumn, intending to evaluate the trading environment there, and found that the autumn grass there has grown tall but there are no herdsmen to harvest, and there are not a few cattle and sheep on the grassland as far as the eye can see." But the dry bones of the dead can be seen everywhere, calculated according to what the villain has seen and heard. Many of those herders will starve to death this year. ”

"You only know how to pump water from the pool. I don't know if I pour water into it, and this business will naturally become more and more useless. ”

Yun Zheng walked in from outside sweating profusely as he spoke, and he hadn't picked firewood for many years, and found that he was struggling a lot.

Lu Qingqing got up and waited for Yun Zheng to wash, and after washing, Yun Zheng put a hot towel on his face and said angrily: "Our final goal is to ask for that grassland, there are not many places in Shu that can raise horses, and behind Yuanshan is an excellent place, because there are Tubo people occupying it, so we can't occupy it."

The best way is to let the Tubo people there kill each other, and in the end there is no one left, and that place will naturally become our place.

Now that you have drained the wealth there in one go, and people are going to starve to death, what kind of war are they fighting, if nothing else, the war there will subside, this is not a good thing, although the war will subside, and the family's business will be better, but what is the matter with those few pennies, and seizing the grasslands there is an important purpose. ”

The old shopkeeper said respectfully: "Master Hou means that our family should owe them the goods on credit?" ”

Yun Zheng tore off the hot towel on his face, drank the water in the teacup in one gulp and said with a smile: "Whoever hurts our family's guards, we will fund his opponent and give his opponent a hope that he can destroy the opponent in a short time, of course, you go to the imperial merchants of the imperial court and ask them to fund the side that injured our family's guards, and the war will continue to be fought after all."

Do your good calculations, how many less Tubo tribes behind Yuanshan have been in these years? How many new tribes have risen? Sue you, what we want is this effect of a chicken dying and a chicken crowing, so that others have nothing to say about the new land we get.

Once the grassland is our own, no matter how much output there will be, it will be our own, and there is no need to exchange it with others. ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this: "Now where are the Tubo people have reached the end of the road, the villain thinks that this time the supplies we rescue are best food, salt, tea, and a large number of feather arrows, it is estimated that we can provoke the ambition of Nuolen'a."

Master Hou is smart, can the villain make some preparations for our family to enter the grassland? There are many mountain people in the mountains who want to find a place to live for a long time, and the grassland is the best place. ”

Lu Qingqing said: "Let the imperial court go ahead, what's the matter with our family walking in front?" As long as the grassland is in hand, there will be a place for our family no matter what. ”

The shopkeeper's order left, and Lu Qingqing wiped the dust on Yun Zheng's body with a wet towel and said with a smile: "It's not easy for the dignified Hou Ye to pick up firewood and burn charcoal. Did you leave a large group of royal children in Baiyun Mountain and ignore them? ”

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "What kind of soldiers will I train, Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi have eaten fat heads and big ears over the years, who don't need them?" ”

Lu Qingqing smiled: "Kui Ming has been looking for you twice, you are always hiding, right?" People make it clear, they only plan to have a child, they don't plan to marry you, Kui Ming is also the first beauty in Western Xia anyway, what is the matter with you always hiding from taking advantage? ”

Yun Zheng looked at Lu Qing lightly and said suspiciously: "I'm worried that if you do this, you will stab me to death with a knife while I am asleep." ”

Lu Qingpi smiled and said: "The concubine is not so vicious, if you are married to the family, the concubine will not say anything, what is Hu Lai who is not clean outside, a down-and-out Hu woman, such shameless words are said, who is looking at her." ”

Yun Zheng put his arm around Lu Qingqing, put her on his lap and said with a smile: "It's not strange for a woman to live in a bunker-like house with a large group of women, she should find a good person to marry, instead of wasting her good years like this, and only after wandering for a lifetime will she find that everything is empty."

The reason why she came to me was entirely because she had seen too few men, you were right, a Hu woman can't stand Han Jialang's sweet words, she will find her own happiness, after all, there is money and money, and you have to look good. ”

Yun Zheng felt sorry when he said this, Kui Ming had been in Shu for seven or eight years, he was originally a beauty, but now he has become even more red and white, convex and backward, the most troublesome thing is that she doesn't know who she learned the coquettishness of the Han family's woman, the last time they met, if they hadn't drunk too little, maybe they would have really done something ridiculous.

You can't think about it, when you think about it, you will be angry, and if you hold a beauty in your arms, your thoughts will be revealed immediately, Lu Qingqing will naturally feel it, her face is red and she smacked Yun Zheng's mouthful, and then wrapped her arms around Yun Zheng's neck with both hands......

It took a long time for the two of them to come out of the back room, look at each other and smile, they have been married for many years, and there is still a little embarrassment to secretly do something bad, Lu Qingqing stomped her feet in shame and didn't know what to say, she always felt that this kind of thing should not fall on her, she should be a dignified and polite lady.

Yun Zheng naturally ignored it, the fire in his heart was extinguished, and his whole body was comfortable, in his opinion, husband and wife should be like this, there are always some inexplicable and wonderful impulses, unless they are old, if they are young, they are not attractive to each other, and then they will live like chewing wax.

When I finished arranging my clothes, I heard the clouds falling, "Daddy, Daddy" and running in with a beautiful wooden waterwheel, the flower skirt was full of muddy water, and I didn't know what I was doing just now, and I was panting.

Entered the house without saying a word and immediately dragged Yun Zheng to the edge of the shallow aqueduct, the four children of the Cang family opened an arm-thick ditch on the side of the aqueduct, there was clear spring water flowing outward, the small canal dug zigzag is very good-looking, in a place with a big drop, there are two small branches, Yun Luoluo carefully put the waterwheel on the branch, the small waterwheel slowly rotated under the impact of the water.

The father and daughter were silly and happy around this small waterwheel, silly and happy, Yun Zheng simply dug the canal bigger, so the waterwheel turned more cheerfully. (To be continued)
