Knowing the potential contradictions between the two brothers of the Zhou family, Chu Nanyue still chose not to interfere.

Wei Guogong is an upright person, although he has failed to examine his children, but once the Zhou brothers make trouble, he will inevitably be the first to stop it.

And if the trivial matters can be resolved early, there will be no real fatal contradictions in the future.

Chu Nanyue's current harvest is only to learn that although they are brothers, they also have conflicts of interest, and they are not impregnable and indestructible.

Maybe in the future, if Zhou Yuanqi wants to take revenge and defeat the Duchess of Weiguo, he can start from this.

Autumn harvest time.

Chu Nanyue returned to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing again, this time with the two members of the household department.

At present, most areas of Tanglin are busy with the autumn harvest, and Lord Hu Shang, the head of the household department, is too busy to be busy. What's more, he is generally responsible for coordinating the land of the whole country, and as for the suburbs of Beijing, it is enough to send the two of them.

After Chu Nanyue and the Zhou brothers came to the outskirts of Beijing, they saw Zhou Yuanqi and a few soldiers commanding everyone, busy harvesting grain.

Zhou Yuanqi got the news and knew that Chu Nanyue was coming, so he immediately ran over with a smile on his face and wanted to tell Chu Nanyue.

"General, after several months of busyness, this military field has finally come to fruition, and it lives up to the general's painstaking efforts in March and April." Zhou Yuanqi said with a smile.

Chu Nanyue said: "Where is my hard work? I went back to the capital early, and I left a lot of things here to you. Thank you Vice General Zhou is. ”

In front of the Zhou brothers, Chu Nanyue did not dare to call out Zhou Yuanqi's name easily.

Zhou Yuanqi probably heard that Chu Nanyue's tone was different from the past, and when he raised his eyes to look over, he saw the two people standing next to Chu Nanyue.

He recognized them all at a glance. He was shocked in his heart, and then he silently lowered his head.

The brothers of the Zhou family didn't feel anything unusual, but jokingly said to Chu Nanyue: "General Chu, this brother has the same surname as us. Maybe the ancestors are not known. ”

Chu Nanyue also smiled: "Don't dare." I, the deputy general, wandered around the rivers and lakes alone, and the surname was just casually given, where could I climb the dignified Zhou family. ”

The brothers of the Zhou family were just a few polite jokes, and now when they heard Chu Nanyue raise the Weiguo Mansion like this, they also joked about it.

Zhou Yuanqi saw that they couldn't recognize themselves at all, and he was relieved and felt lost.

But five or six years later, he was wearing a military uniform again, and he could be recognized at a glance, which was impossible.

"General Chu, during the autumn harvest, if there is anything that needs the help of the household department, you can say it, Lord Hu has repeatedly instructed us to assist General Chu." Zhou Yuanchi said.

"Thank you, Lord Hu, for your kindness." Chu Nanyue thanked, "But apart from the normal procedures, I don't need the help of the household department." When it comes to harvesting, even if I, the 50,000 Tuntian soldiers, temporarily do the other things, there are neighboring villagers who help with the harvest. ”

If this is said by others, it will inevitably appear arrogant and arrogant. But when Chu Nanyue said it, he told the truth.

It is precisely because Chu Nanyue previously solved the Pingjiang water case for the people of the two villages that the villagers gradually established a good relationship with the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, and also relied on their protection, so it can be said that the army and the people are like a family.

This time, the military fields of the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing have a bumper harvest, and the saint has already been happy. At that time, Chu Nanyue's ideas were doubted by many people, and the suspicions of those ministers at this moment were also overcome.

As soon as the grain was harvested, the military rations allocated by the imperial court in the past few months had already been replenished. And many of the remaining ones can actually help the imperial court in turn.

"General Chu can implement the law of Tuntian to this extent, which is respectable!" Zhou Yuanchi exclaimed.

As his father said, Chu Nanyue is a rare talent. It's no wonder that when their mother heard about it, she was moved, wanting them to pursue Chu Nanyue's thoughts.

And Chu Nanyue didn't know what they had in mind, so he only said to Zhou Yuanchi: "It was just an idea before, but now that it really works, the next step is all in the heart of the saint." But I also want to ask, what is the grain system of the household department? ”

Although Zhou Yuanchi didn't understand Chu Nanyue's intentions, he still replied: "After the autumn harvest, the household department will collect taxes, and some of them will be used as grain seeds and distributed everywhere. ”

"Is there an additional subsidy?" Chu Nanyue asked.

"Most of the people have enough in their own homes, and they will keep their own grain. If it is a previously affected area, there are some extras. Zhou Yuanchi replied.

"Is there enough in the household?" Chu Nanyue asked with a smile.

This kind of laborious work is extraordinary, and presumably the household department is not active.

"General Chu, ...... are you" Zhou Yuanchi probably thought that Chu Nanyue wanted to keep some, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you for anything, on the contrary, part of the grain collected in our military fields can be allocated as food for the disaster area." Chu Nanyue said.

The brothers of the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, with such a good thing, they naturally responded, and after that, they relaxed a lot when they talked about things.

After the Zhou brothers left, Zhou Yuanqi returned to the main general's tent and asked Chu Nanyue: "General, we are not very rich, not to mention that this kind of thing obviously does not get any benefits." ”

He didn't think Chu Nanyue should have taken the initiative to mention it so much. At present, there must be many courtiers who feel that Chu Nanyue has made achievements, and they are extremely blushing. Chu Nanyue did this, looking swaggering.

"But in this world, there are some things that don't do any good." Chu Nanyue glanced at Zhou Yuanqi deeply, and added, "Years of war, in fact, it is not a year of wind and rain that can be saved by the way. The disaster area needs more help now, and I can help a little, just a little. ”

"The general is benevolent." Zhou Yuanqi said.

Being able to disregard his own interests in this matter may be for the sake of those five years. Chu Nanyue, as a general, was able to return home with a great victory under the strong backup supply of Tanglin.

But Chu Nanyue knew that this big rear was actually the strength and savings of the living people.

At that time, even if there was a shortage of food at home, they could not afford to pay for the military rations. Now that the soldiers have returned, it is their duty to give them a little more assistance.

Chu Nanyue saw that he was still worried, and said, "Yuan Qi, why are you?" Because you saw your two brothers again today? ”

"What did the general mention them for? The subordinates have long forgotten who they are. Zhou Yuanqi became much colder.

"You're nervous." Chu Nanyue lowered her eyes and looked at Zhou Yuanqi, "They can't recognize you, but you are still nervous, you are very afraid of the Zhou family, why is this?" ”

The doubts buried in Chu Nanyue's heart. Zhou Yuanqi has a very poor relationship with his mother-in-law, so what about these two brothers?

Six years ago, in fact, the brothers were not young, and they probably knew the ins and outs of the matter.
