Chapter 343: The Help of the Twelve States
She came over to look at her, and when she saw that she was really bored, she handed over the fabric in her hand, "It's really boring, just help me make trees out of cloth, the small kind, when the time comes, insert it on the topographic map, I'll go out and take a look......"
"Princess, I want to be with you!"
"You stay in the house, or you won't be allowed to do anything, Dongxue, show me Qingxiu, don't let her come nonsense!"
"Yes......"
Tong Xiaowu walked out of the inner room and came to the backyard, the grain from Black Wolf County had been delivered, and it was Shi Baoan, the county guard of Black Wolf County, who personally came to deliver the food last time.
"Princess Qian'an." The other party saluted.
"You're welcome, is everything going well?"
When asked about this, Shi Baoan's eyes widened, and he was almost speechless with excitement.
"Princess, you can't even think of it, there is not enough food, the weather in our Beizhou is cold, and the grain is not harvested every year, and sometimes you can't buy it with money.
But I didn't expect that, I don't know what's going on, the officials of several other state cities actually knew about our difficulties, and they all sent us food.
Qi Hengyuan, the prefect of Buzhou, personally sent ten carts of grain to Black Wolf County, and the prefect of Qinzhou also sent ten carts, but they didn't ask for money, as well as Youzhou, Nanzhou, and Haiyu Prefecture, because the road was far away and they couldn't transport grain, they all sent silver tickets.
There are also letters from other county governments, you see, they are all here, I wanted to go over and show you right away, so you came here, you can take a look......"
As he spoke, Shi Baoan took out a few letters from the purse and handed them to Tong Xiaowu, all of which were written on the envelopes: "King Xuan, Princess Xuan personally opened".
Tong Xiaowu opened the envelope, and silver tickets appeared in front of her, with a letter attached to it.
According to the letter from the Qinzhou prefect, the money was donated by officials and merchants in Qinzhou, hoping to help Beizhou overcome the difficulties.
Youzhou is the same, the letter stated that although the donation is only a few thousand taels of silver, but I hope to help Beizhou.
There are more in Haiyu Prefecture and Nanzhou, after all, in the entire Xuanyuan, the economy over there is also relatively developed, and the letters written by the prefects of the two states are also pertinent, and they also say that no matter what difficulties King Xuan has in the future, they will help.
Rongzhou and Linrezhou are far away, although there are no donations and food, but a letter of condolence was sent, saying that the donated clothes will be reached later.
There is also Jianzhou, which is near the sea, and a letter of condolence was also sent, and dried fish and other items donated later will arrive.
In this way, the 12 states in the country, each state and city have given condolences, which is really very moving.
"Princess......" Suddenly, Shi Baoan on the side knelt on the ground, "I have long heard that the princess is benevolent and intelligent, this time the lower officials have seen it, princess, thank you so much for coming to Beizhou, thank you so much!" ”
Saying that, this Shi Baoan actually shed tears, and Mama Zhang on the side was also quite touched when she saw this scene.
The entire Xuanyuan, that state and province did not have the assistance of the princess, and now these people are willing to lend a hand when they hear that the prince and princess are in trouble when they come to Beizhou, which shows the benevolence of the two.
"Master Shi, hurry up!" Tong Xiaowu didn't know what to say, so she helped the person up.
"Princess, I, I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited, I really haven't seen this kind of thing before!"
"I've read the letter, the supplies from Rongzhou and Linre Prefecture will arrive in a few days, as well as the dried fish from Jianzhou, I should return in these two days, and I will have to trouble Master Shi to send it over at that time, is there any situation in Black Wolf County?" No matter what the difficulty, you can bring it up, after all, you have also helped so much in the northern state! ”
"No, no, Black Wolf County is in a dangerous location, even if the people of the Northern Underworld attack, they will not choose that side, princess rest assured!" Shi Baoan happily replied, "As long as Beizhou is stable, our side can also be stable!" ”
This is true, generally the people of the Northern Underworld who enter Beizhou are from Huanfeng Pass or Beizhou from the Diagonal Mountain in the north of Beizhou, so Beizhou is stable, and other places are also stable, there is nothing wrong at all.
Of course, it also depends on the situation, if you want to have a stable border, you must have long-term peace and stability, some things cannot be slow, but some things cannot be rushed.
Back in the inner room, Mama Zhang bowed her head and apologized, "Princess, it was the old slave who was too picky before, I'm really sorry, the old slave apologizes to you!" ”
"It's okay, there are three or four sides to everything, it's good for you to give me a reminder! By the way, Lu Xing, how is the prince doing there? ”
"I'm digging stones to build the city wall, although the progress is very slow, but it works!"
"After all, it's winter, and it's not easy! Given this money, you can ask people to buy some meat and add a dish to the workers in the quarry, right? Tong Xiaowu took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from the envelope and handed it to Lu Xing.
"Great!" Lu Xing stretched out his hand to take it, and happily went out to find someone to do something.
Mama Zhang laughed when she saw this, "Although there is no way to make money in Beizhou, fortunately, our princess has paved the road before, otherwise it would be a mess here if anyone else comes." ”
"This problem of eating and drinking is easy to solve, but the one that is not easy to solve is the North Hell!" Tong Xiaowu put the envelope away, looked back at the sand table topographic map he made, and the appearance of Huanfeng Pass kept appearing in his mind.
In the evening, Xuanyuan Yuchen returned to the palace, Tong Xiaowu set up the dining table, and the two sat down to eat, Tong Xiaowu looked at the people left and right, and waved his hand, "You all go down, just have me here." ”
The maids on both sides retreated, and in the inner room, only Tong Xiaowu and Xuanyuan Yuchen sat at the dining table.
Xuanyuan Yuchen opened his mouth and asked, "You made the topographic map of Westinghouse?" I watched it, and it was very good! ”
"Well, what I did, I can use it in the military in the future."
"Yes, by the way, lady, I have started recruiting troops in various counties and towns in Beizhou, and the 80,000 people in Trull's hands refuse to be used by me, I decided to recruit troops and horses by myself, and I have already reported this matter to my father, and he also agreed, in the future, slowly, the military power of Beizhou will be withdrawn, but this Zhenbei general must be a little dissatisfied, and he is also writing a song!"
"Is he still reasonable? Beizhou made it like this, he didn't even repair the city wall, and he dared to play with his father and the emperor, just three months without military salaries, he couldn't say it! ”
"Yes, these days, we have newly recruited soldiers, plus our military resources are more abundant than theirs, those soldiers who follow Trul are no longer willing, and there are some things, they have to mess up without us going out." Xuanyuan Yuchen said.
"You have to be at ease when you do things, if you do something wrong first, there will naturally be all kinds of holes waiting for you......" Tong Xiaowu served rice for him and sat down himself.
"Xianggong, I went to Huanfeng Pass this morning, and sure enough, there is geothermal heat there, and the last snow in our Beizhou has not melted, and their Huanfeng Pass has melted."
