Chapter Ninety-Five: Finding the Entry Point
Looking at Fuzhu's sincere and frightened appearance, a trace of pity flashed in Shen Baiqing's eyes.
In this world, it is not easy for people to live, and such a dynasty is destined to have a hard time for the common people, not to mention a maid like Fuzhu.
In this way, Shen Baiqing smiled and said with relief.
"If your family likes to eat, you can tell me, and I can make more food for you to send to your family."
"Really?"
Fuzhu looked at Shen Baiqing with wide eyes, looking incredulous.
She has served many dignitaries and dignitaries, and it is the first time she has met such a talkative lady.
From Fuzhu's eyes, Shen Baiqing could feel a trace of unease, and Shen Baiqing's heart was a little softer.
"Of course it's true."
As she spoke, Shen Baiqing put a few more portions of food in a food box and handed them to Fuzhu.
"You take these foods back and share them with your family, if you think it's delicious, I'll make it next time."
Doing these things is nothing to Shen Baiqing, she just feels sorry for Fuzhu, a little girl.
Fu Zhu never thought that she would meet such a talkative lady, tears gradually accumulated in her eyes, but she stubbornly didn't dare to show anything in front of Shen Baiqing.
After Fuzhu left, Su Bowen came behind Shen Baiqing, hugged Shen Baiqing into his arms, and said softly.
"You are so kind to anyone, you don't know if it's good or bad."
Shen Baiqing's kindness is exactly what Su Bowen appreciates about her, but Su Bowen is also worried that Shen Baiqing will be calculated.
Knowing what Su Bowen was thinking, Shen Baiqing held his big hand, and his eyebrows were full of smiles.
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, Fuzhu is also a poor person."
Shen Baiqing is not good to Fuzhu Bai, now that she and her husband are on someone else's territory, she naturally wants to have more connections, and it will be much easier to do things when the time comes.
Hearing this, Su Bowen immediately understood, he smiled, and said in his heart that his own lady was a smart person, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
Since Shen Baiqing planned to win over Fuzhu, every time he had a meal, he would let Fuzhu go with him, but Fuzhu was still honestly afraid, indicating that he couldn't break the rules.
Shen Baiqing is from the 21st century, so she doesn't care about this, but if she is too different from others, and she is worried that she will be noticed by someone with a heart, in this way, Shen Baiqing will no longer persecute Fuzhu.
After breakfast, Shen Baiqing proposed to go for a walk on the grassland, and Fuzhu naturally wanted to follow behind Shen Baiqing.
The two of them were walking on the grassland, the sun was hanging high during the day, the grassland was very warm, and Shen Baiqing enjoyed the leisurely time when he could bask in the sun.
"It seems that living on the grassland is also a very happy thing!"
Shen Baiqing just sighed, but Fuzhu on the side spoke.
"Madame, don't look at the grasslands so fertile nowadays, but in winter, they are not like this. Every winter, I don't know how many people starve to death on the grasslands. ”
Fuzhu regarded Shen Baiqing as his master, so he would say such things to Shen Baiqing.
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing was stunned, she just sighed, but she didn't expect Fuzhu to make such remarks.
Shen Baiqing looked at Fuzhu in confusion, and Fuzhu seemed to see that Shen Baiqing was curious about this matter, so he continued.
"Many people who don't live in the grasslands don't know the real situation of the grasslands at all, and many livestock can't survive at all in winter, and it's common for livestock and people to freeze to death. Moreover, the grassland has to pay grain to the imperial court every year, and the people are not enough to eat, so it is normal to starve to death in winter. ”
When she thinks of the tragic scenes in the winter every year, Fuzhu only feels heavy.
Shen Baiqing didn't seem to expect that the days of the grassland would be like this, she had traveled to the grassland in modern times, but the grassland today is definitely different from the modern grassland.
One can imagine how sad the days of the steppe were in winter, and it is estimated that this matter has also troubled the khan for a long time.
If she can use this to help the Khan and the steppe through the winter crisis, maybe the Khan will be willing to cooperate with them?
Thinking like this, Shen Baiqing was in a happier mood.
When she came back from a walk outside, Shen Baiqing found that Su Bowen was also there, and only the husband and wife were left in the tent, so Shen Baiqing told Su Bowen the news she got from Fuzhu.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Su Bowen fell into deep thought.
"We can start with this, but I don't know what will happen to the Khan?"
With the current status of the Su family, it is not difficult to start with this matter, and it is a big deal to sell some grain to the grassland at a low price every year.
As long as he can facilitate this transaction with the grassland, it is not difficult for Su Bowen to do something.
Seeing that her husband understood her intentions, Shen Baiqing also echoed on the side.
"But this matter is still in a hurry, we have to take our time, maybe there is something else on the Khan's side that needs us."
The days of the grassland were not as good as the nourishment of the capital, and Shen Baiqing believed that the Khan's side would definitely make this deal with them.
That night, Khan took the initiative to invite Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing to have dinner together.
Under the bonfire, everyone seemed to be happy.
Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing glanced at each other, tacitly, Su Bowen looked at the Khan and spoke quietly.
"Khan, this steppe is fertile, and it is a good place. This time when he came to the grassland, Su was very happy, maybe Su would also be willing to come to this grassland to settle in the future. ”
"Young Master Su is polite, my grassland seems to be good, but the winter days are still more difficult, I'm afraid that Young Master Su and Mrs. Su will not get used to it."
Khan didn't expect Su Bowen to have plans to live in the grassland, but he said the ugly things ahead, and the winter grassland was indeed not easy.
Seeing that Khan said about the winter situation on the grassland, Shen Baiqing spoke on the side.
"Winter is not easy for cattle and sheep, and if you want to survive the winter, you must have a lot of manpower and financial resources."
"Yes, this is also a headache for us, and we also thought of various ways in the winter, but unfortunately we have not been able to change it.
When winter comes, the cattle and sheep can't carry it, and the same goes for the horses, let alone the people. ”
Thinking of this, Khan's face was full of embarrassment, Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen, Su Bowen suddenly understood, he looked at Khan with a sincere gaze.
"Khan, Su has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
Su Bowen's eyes were full of wisdom, and when Khan glanced at Su Bowen, he immediately understood that Su Bowen must have thought of something.
He rejoiced in his heart, but his face was to maintain the majesty of a khan.
"Young Master Su, please speak."
"Every year, the grassland pays a lot of tribute to the imperial court, and it is estimated that there will be nothing left after the grain is handed over.
Su is not talented, the merchant still has some means, if the khan has a place where Su is needed, he can inform Su someone. ”
