Chapter 53: Perception

As the sky dawned, the riots in the camp had subsided, only a few embers had not yet been completely extinguished, the smell of scorched fire wafted through the air, and soldiers came and went, picking up the pieces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"These thieves are really hateful, they have spoiled all the good food, see that Lao Tzu has killed them alive!" From the small field not far from the cave, Chang Mao's angry roar could be heard.

Shen Yue heard it from afar, and hurriedly ran over to check, although the corn and potatoes that had been harvested were saved, the sweet potatoes in the field were not yet ripe, and the yield of these sweet potatoes was even higher than that of potatoes.

Last night, the enemy pretended to be reinforcements and had a fierce battle with King Yan, and so many people were killed and wounded, which must have caused great losses.

When I got closer, the fences around the fields were broken, lying on the ground, and the sweet potato seedlings were trampled to rotten, crumpled in the blood-stained soil, and there were traces of knife cuts, making it difficult to survive.

Chang Mao was leading people to inspect the corpses around him, the corpses of those enemies pretending to be Ming soldiers were picked out, stripped of their clothes, and cut off their heads one by one like chopping melons and vegetables, and threw their bodies into the dirt pit on the side, most of the soldiers defending the camp were his subordinates, and they were attacked by these enemies at night and suffered heavy casualties, which made him angry.

The heavy bloody aura made Shen Yue almost vomit, but Zhu Di, the king of Yan, stood aside without changing his face, staring at a messy field, silent.

"Your Royal Highness, it has been found out that Zhou Kang, the clerk under our army's account, colluded with the White Lotus Sect bandits to go up the mountain to assassinate him, he often helps the soldiers write letters to his family, and he is familiar with most of the people in the army, so he is defenseless, let him lead someone to pretend to be a rescue and cause a catastrophe, I haven't been able to detect him in the military camp for so many years, and I ask His Highness to commit the crime." Mu Ying knelt down in front of Yan King Zhu Di with a guilty face.

Zhu Di hurriedly helped Mu Ying up, and said heartily,

"Mu Shuai, please hurry up, if you want to say that you are guilty, you are not the only one who is guilty, the eunuch who lied about the military situation was not brought by the Lone King, they are all thieves and thieves, and they want to destroy the hard-won stability of my Ming Dynasty, the general fights for the north and south for national affairs, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, and some negligence is inevitable, how can he be guilty because of this matter, how can he not let his relatives and enemies be happy?"

"What His Highness said is that the soldiers who fought bloodily cannot be punished because of those insidious villains, and the Ming Dynasty has the blessing of God, how can these auspicious crops be destroyed so easily." Shen Yue said with a smile, although Zhu Di said generously, he didn't mean to blame Mu Ying and others, but after all, there was only a mistake, if he returned to the court, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not be impeached, he was kind to himself before, and now he is Pinglan's father-in-law, Shen Yue doesn't want to be cut off by someone just hugged the thigh.

Zhu Di and the others looked at Shen Yue with puzzled faces, and saw that he picked up the nail pickaxe and dug it up in the ground. I don't know much about the enemy of a new crop like sweet potatoes, or the situation is too urgent to start, and I just destroyed the ground seedlings, but the fruits of sweet potatoes are well preserved in the ground, and although it is not yet time to harvest, it should have grown after about four months of planting.

A few pickaxes went down, and as expected, a few sweet potatoes as thick as a baby's arm were revealed,

"When I planted it, the conditions were difficult, and I didn't raise the seedlings in advance, so I cut them into large pieces like potatoes and planted them, so they didn't grow very well, but it was better than nothing." Shen Yue picked and chosen, threw it in front of the two, and continued to plan.

Mu Ying was overjoyed, and held a few yam eggs in her hands like baby bumps,

"It's really good grain, it has grown so big before it matures, if it is managed well, the grain produced by one acre of land will not be enough for a family of four to eat for half a year."

Shen Yue didn't dare to compliment his words, although this sweet potato is high-yield and delicious, but he can't eat sweet potatoes every day, he was greedy when he was a child, and he ate a lot of raw food, and as a result, he had stomach trouble all day long, even if he was cooked, he would have stomach distension and discomfort if he ate too much, and if he wanted the people to eat for half a year, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried about their full stomachs.

"This sweet potato is really good, the lonely king wanted to wait for them to ripen and bring them back to the capital, but after the White Lotus Sect made such a fuss here, it is impossible to stay here for a long time, these auspicious rui are safe now, it is better to bring them back to the capital as soon as possible, so as not to cause another incident of thieves."

"Your Highness is thoughtful, it should be so, but because the fields near the river beach at the foot of the mountain are in the middle of the barracks, they have not been destroyed by thieves, so it is better to hand them over to Shen Xiaozi to take care of, and how about directly promoting planting when they are mature?" Mu Ying looked at Yan Wang Zhu Di and asked tentatively, he has been very fond of Shen Yue, a steady young man, recently, and also considering that King Yan will seal Beiping in the future, just to seek benefits on both sides.

Shen Yue made a difficulty, as soon as King Yan left, these soldiers would definitely accompany him, in case those White Lotus Sect thieves did not die and came to destroy it, how could they have the manpower to take care of it in this mountain, and they followed Mu Ying down to the mountain with a sad stomach, but he didn't expect that he had already prepared a plan.

"What do you think of this? Bring the sweet potatoes back to the county town to be planted in this way, those thieves will not be stupid enough to dare to go to the city to make trouble, you have to take good care of it, and when there is a bumper harvest next year, you have to send some to the old man's mansion in the capital. Mu Ying patted the large clay jar tied to the carriage and said with a laugh.

Shen Yue was dumbfounded, it turned out that he had already ordered someone to rush to work overnight, and put the sweet potato seedlings in the field into the clay jar together with the soil, and there were only a dozen or so large pits half a person deep left in the field.

"Jiang is still old and spicy, Mu Shuai is really far-sighted, infinite wisdom, the boy's admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control......"

"Stop, stop, when did you kid learn to flamboyate, do you want me to help with something?" Mu Ying was just a little satisfied, shook her head with a smile, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped,

"You see that I said that you are resourceful, right, the kid was seen by you as soon as he wagged his tail, and now I am indeed in trouble, His Royal Highness King Yan wants me to enter Beijing to treat the queen, but I am really not sure, I want to ask you to borrow the military doctor Ma Liang, and let him follow me to the south to find some medicinal materials." Shen Yue said with a sad face.

Hearing that she was going to treat Queen Stepma, Mu Ying suppressed her smile and sighed,

"It's also to blame me for reporting your matter to the saint, it's hard for you, since there is still a glimmer of hope, the old man will naturally fully cooperate with you, I will order Ma Liang to find you later, I have told him about Queen Ma's condition, I should be able to help you more, don't worry too much about the treatment, the queen is a kind-hearted person, even if there is an accident, the old man will spare his life to keep you safe."

"I'm relieved to have your words, although this capital is prosperous, it is also a land of tigers and wolves, and the kid knows that he is dull, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall." Shen Yue said with a wry smile, the capital has to go, but it is also necessary to take precautions in advance, so as not to be isolated and helpless when you get it.

"Although you kid is not very old, but you were able to divide these crops into two pieces of land to plant, which shows the advantages of doing things safely, this time you can not take credit for the reward is also rare, but it is a little conservative, last night when you charged with our army, did you still shout 'the brave wins when the narrow road meets'? If you want to take out this kind of dignified manhood, the big husband was born in the world, and he must stand up to the sky, and those who are small will not dare to act rashly. ”

Mu Ying's earnest explanation like an elder made Shen Yue realize, after he crossed over, he was indeed a little cautious and conservative in the face of a dazed and unfamiliar environment, how could he create a new path if he was so cringe, those reformers in history were all wise and brave people, overcoming obstacles all the way, they were real warriors, daring to face the bleak life, and daring to face the dripping blood.
