Autumn is going to winter, and the days are getting colder and colder.

Anton's hearts seemed to be on fire, and they were warm between their chests and lungs.

Since the prince banned the Fushou ointment, broke the army of the Qi people, captured a large area of Qi land, and set up a defense line north of the Qingjiang River, there has been no trace of the Qi people in Anton, and there is no Fushou ointment.

The life of the Anton people got better all of a sudden.

Those guys who ate Fushou Paste and wasted it had no source, so they could only stand up and quit Fushou Cream.

The prince also brought high-yield and easy-to-live potatoes and sweet potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, which can not only be boiled and eaten, eaten as steamed buns, but also roasted, steamed and fried in various ways to eat.

Although I will get tired of eating too much, I feel very happy when I eat the last meal and the next meal compared to before, and I eat the days when there is no tomorrow this year.

The family is thinking, waiting for Ming'er to sell some sweet potatoes, pull a new dress for the daughter, and buy a few sets of cotton jackets and pants for the family.

When Su Lu arrived in the mountains, most of the harvest celebrations had been prepared, the county ordinance of the mountain county had already set up a high platform, and the processions along the streets were also ready.

The magistrate was dressed in a lake-green official robe, and bowed down to report to Su Lu on the preparations for the celebration.

"Most of the people in the mountains are migrated from abroad, and there are many places in the mountains, Guangshan, and Ning'an, which were originally seriously harmed by the Qi people, if it weren't for the prince, they would still be in dire straits."

Su Lu waved his hand: "That's it, I'll take the imperial court, these are all things." ”

"Luo County Order, you have prepared very well for the celebration, but there is one point, what do you say about this money and grain apportionment? I saw on the way here, it was snowing heavily, and the roads in various places were not easy to walk, and I was afraid that the potatoes and sweet potatoes in this mountain could not be transported and sold at a price. ”

Luo Xian said respectfully: "Lord Shengming, it's true, the money and grain apportioned have been confiscated so far, but this year's taxes, all the townships have paid in full, and there is no arrears at all, but the apportionment of the silver has not been handed over by the family." ”

"The lower officials are dull, and they are also worried."

Su Lu commanded: "This celebration is a little simpler, in fact, in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether it is held or not, the key is to let the people have no hunger."

As for the money and silver that was apportioned, I think it can be converted so that grain can be used everywhere instead of silver, and if there is no food to be produced, then people can be sent to build roads, and these people can be organized to build roads, and they will not be paid, but they will be provided with food and drink. ”

"After the road is repaired, these potatoes and sweet potatoes produced in your mountains can be shipped out, either south or north, as long as there is a way to transport out, you can always find merchants who are willing to buy."

Luo Xian's brows furrowed, and he didn't quite understand what Su Lu meant. He was born in Beijing, and Su Lu's resume has been passed over in his heart, although this prince is not exhaustive, but he is also true to his word, it must be reasonable to say so.

Besides, it is a good thing that the road was built without spending the court's money and food.

"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will organize and build the road."

"Lord, this celebration?"

Luo Xian looked at Su Lu.

Su Lu waved his hand: "That's it this year, don't add new ones, next year everything will be simple, the people have just been full, we can't let them live a hungry life again because of our tossing." ”

Luo Xian bowed down and agreed, and left the mansion.

Ma Ping came in from outside and reported it.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhou Yuan asks to see you."

Su Lu nodded, motioned for him to let Zhou Yuan in, and casually asked Ma Ping again.

"Can the Ordnance Division of Gohara and the new Asuka Battalion be withdrawn?"

Ma Ping replied respectfully: "Except for the two flying birds that left the Qin State and assisted them in the land battle, all the other flying birds have withdrawn to Xiting. ”

Su Lu nodded and motioned for Ma Ping to get busy.

Zhou Yuan came in and saluted Su Lu respectfully: "The lower official has seen the prince, and the prince is safe." ”

Su Lu picked up Zhou Yuan and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still the same, are you lying down and not working on weekdays." ”

Zhou Yuan said with a smile: "The prince's eyes are like torches, with the potatoes and sweet potatoes you proposed, the people under his rule have food and clothing, and there is no hunger in the wilderness, so I have no pressure, naturally I eat well, sleep well, and rely on the prince's remaining shade, I can be the thorn in the history of Guangnan." ”

The two sat down as guests, and Zhou Yuan spoke.

"Lord, our Guangnan has a bumper harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes this year, but the life of the people is not good, every time I think of the people under my rule are still in dire straits, the lower officials are not in their hearts, they have no taste in their hearts, they have no taste in food, and they have no taste in drinking."

"The prince is a scholar, can he teach me?"

Zhou Yuan sat up straight, looking at Su Lu with blazing eyes, his face full of inquiring colors.

Su Lu Xindao came to ask for attention again, just sent away Luo Xian, and another Zhou Yuan.

Over the years, the people have been living a hard life, not to mention the lack of food, and most of the wealth has been looted by the Qi people through the blessing of longevity, and now although there are potatoes and sweet potatoes, but the life will definitely not be too good.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes can only withstand hunger, and they want to be clothed and eaten, but they still have to rely on money.

"This is something that has no choice, think about the year before last, not only did the people under your rule not have enough to eat, but even our army was scavenging for food everywhere, otherwise, it would not have reached Qingjiang, and now it is also at war with the Qi State."

Zhou Yuan was a little disappointed on his cheeks, and asked Su Lu and said, "Lord Wang, is there really no way?" ”

Su Lu shook his head: "I know what you think, but I have just been able to fill the belly of the people, and I have done my best." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan stood up and slammed it to the ground at Su Luchang.

"Lord Wang, the ministers are too greedy, think about the time when they followed the prince to pursue Tang Qi, the soldiers had no food, and now this day is already very good."

"By the way, Lord Wang, because of your ban, since the beginning of the previous year, the Fushou paste in Andong and Guangnan has been banned, but for some reason, since this year, the Fushou paste has begun to resurgence again, I have looked for General Xie Wan of the Qingjiang camp several times, but it has not worked."

Su Lu nodded and said: "Although Xie Wan is a strong general, the defense is still worse, so in this way, I will go to the Qingjiang camp in a few days and ban all the ways for the Qi people to come." ”

The two talked about things for a while, and slowly, it got dark.

Cao Hua suddenly came in from outside, and beads of sweat could still be seen on his forehead.

Su Lu frowned: "What's wrong, you are so flustered?" ”

Cao Hua glanced at Zhou Yuan, seeing that there were outsiders, it was hard to say.

Zhou Yuan was about to say goodbye, Su Lu's heart suddenly burst out, and he blurted out: "But something happened to the Qingjiang camp?" ”

Cao Hua's face was stunned, but then he said:

"Yes, there is news from the front, the Qi army unites with Taixi, no, it may not be Taixi, the bird suddenly appeared in the sky over the Qingjiang River, defeated the Qingjiang camp, and the Qi army united with the overseas army and is killing towards Guangnan."
