Chapter 337: Unique Cohesion
"Xuanyuan Chong" Generally, people with the surname Xuanyuan are relatives of the emperor, and this person should be too. Baidu search, more good free reading.
"Yes, Beizhou used to be his fief, and after his death, it was taken back by the royal family, and King Xuan is the second prince to use Beizhou as a fief," the refugee continued.
When Mama Zhang on the side heard this, she opened her mouth to explain, "Princess, this Xuanyuan Zhong was not named king, but was named a general, but it is equivalent to the prince, he is the youngest uncle of the emperor today, and in the generation of the previous emperor, he is a member of the royal family with outstanding ability. ”
In this way, Tong Xiaowu understood, no wonder I didn't hear that any prince came to this king, it turned out that he was not the emperor's direct family, although it was a close branch, it was also a side branch outside the orthodoxy.
But listening to this rumor, he is a member of the royal family who has made a difference.
"Mama Zhang, don't be busy with the work here, you take the two maids to the city to recruit some female workers to find someone to make cotton clothes, don't we bring a lot of fabrics for people to buy cotton, hurry up and make cotton clothes, it's snowing today, it will be colder tomorrow, no matter what, we have to let the people live."
"Yes, yes, the princess and the old slave will go" Mama Zhang nodded heavily, and called two maids from the porridge shed to recruit people on the street.
Seeing this scene, several refugees who were helping on the side all looked at Tong Xiaowu in surprise, the families of those officials in the past were protected by several people around them, for fear that these poor people would stop their cars and horses and give them food.
And this princess from the capital, not only gave free porridge, but also boiled it herself, and it was really unthinkable to make cotton clothes for them poor people
When the porridge was given, the scene was a little chaotic, and when everyone saw the food stored in the back, it also returned to normal. Baidu search, more good free reading.
The soup kitchen lasted until the second half of the night, when all the porridge was put out and everyone retreated.
That night, Tong Xiaowu sat in front of the brazier in the main hall, looking at the jumping firelight, his face solemn.
There are more than a dozen houses on both sides, all of them have stoves, everyone is busy making cotton clothes, they are all women who are used to needlework, and the work is very fast, plus this work is not done for free, and there is also wages, everyone is more energetic.
"Back to the princess, we have checked, there are more than 5,000 people who need cotton clothes at the scene, I don't know if there will be more tomorrow." Lu Xing came in to report.
Tong Xiaowu nodded, "Got it, you just go and tell Mama Zhang, let her make it according to five thousand first." ”
"Yes"
"Princess, aren't our fabrics going to be used for business with the Northern Underworld, why are they used?"
Xiaohe, who was waiting on the side, asked in a low voice, in the past two days, she didn't dare to speak, Qingxiu was injured, the situation in Beiming was so bad, and the princess had been very serious for the past two days, she felt a lot of pressure.
Today, the princess actually used all the cotton cloth in three truckloads, and if it was not enough, she asked people to go to other places to buy it.
Before, it was said that he came here to do business to make money from the Northern Underworld, but now it seems that he will lose a lot of money here.
"Use it, those cotton cloths are not worth much in Nanzhou, but they can save people's lives here, just use them, Xiaohe, did you listen to that song today" Tong Xiaowu suddenly changed the topic.
Xiaohe nodded, "I heard it when I took care of Qingxiu in the inner room, princess, the people here are not simple."
"Well, each one is not simple" is rare, Tong Xiaowu showed a smile on her face:
"The north wind is howling, the war drums are shaking, the Beizhou road is long, the Xuan River is turbulent, the winter is cold for half a year, the war horse is stationed in the north, the soldiers are scattering blood, fighting thousands of miles of wilderness, when to build a great cause, Huanfeng Guan Yong'an"
Tong Xiaowu sang, the night was long, I don't know who heard her singing, and she also sang along, it was sung by those ordinary women in Beizhou who made cotton clothes.
Tong Xiaowu stood up, walked out, came to one of the wings, opened the curtain and walked in.
"Princess" Everyone stood up, she waved her hand "Sit down, sit down, you continue, I'm idle, come and see"
"Princess, you didn't rest last night, let's rest early tonight," Mama Zhang on the side persuaded uneasily.
"I'll stay for a while, the prince hasn't come back yet, when he comes back, I'll go back, you guys have worked hard for the past two days, I'll forget it, we have a total of more than 100 people, we need more than 5,000 cotton clothes, three pieces a day per person, and it will be done in ten days, everyone takes turns to rest, and it's good to be busy these days."
"Don't worry, princess, we will work hard," said a woman in her thirties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, shabby but clean.
"Okay" Tong Xiaowu nodded and began to chat with these people.
Through chatting, Tong Xiaowu knew that some of the refugees in Beizhou were exiled prisoners, and some were herdsmen and farmers in Beizhou.
Before the winter, the army of the Northern Underworld invaded, and only stopped when they reached a thousand miles in Xuanyuan, they burned and looted all the way, robbed a lot of cattle and sheep, burned a large area of crops, and killed a lot of people, so as to cause such refugees this year.
However, there are few refugees in North State, and many people choose to go to other places to beg, and only some people who can't leave North State, as well as those prisoners, choose to stay in North State.
The Huanfeng Pass sung in the song is a pass at the junction of the North Underworld in the northwest of Beizhou, which used to be a military location, but it has fallen into disrepair for many years, and the military department has been inactive and abandoned.
Even the common people know that as long as the Huanfeng Pass is held, Beizhou City can be defended, and if Beizhou is defended, those people in Beiming will not want to enter Xuanyuan again.
It is a pity that some officials do not know these things that even the common people know, and it should be said that it is not that they do not know, but that they do not act
Xuanyuan Yuchen returned home, and Tong Xiaowu exchanged a few words with these people before leaving.
Back in the main house, Xuanyuan Yuchen was losing his temper, "What kind of people, sooner or later Lao Tzu will kill them"
Seeing this, Tong Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward, "What's the matter, although this is not the capital, but after all, we are new to the capital, you haven't seen you all afternoon, what happened?"
"I asked the people in the military department to find someone to repair the Beizhou city wall, but Trul refused me on the grounds that the soldiers were busy, am I still a fiefdom prince, why don't he come to be the son of the emperor."
Xuanyuan Yuchen gritted his teeth angrily, "And I got new news this afternoon, damn it, that Qu Boyi turned out to be the brother-in-law of Captain Rong, and the wives of the two of them are sisters of the Zhao family, no wonder so many things happened to us as soon as we entered Beizhou, they are we have set up one ring after another."
"Yu Feng, if that's the case, things make sense" Tong Xiaowu stretched out his hand to help him undress and said.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
