Yan Zhang raised his head and asked with a bit of difficulty, "Eldest sister, can you tell me the details?" ”

Yan Yan smiled when he heard this, reached out and touched his head, "Stupid or not, the eldest sister has said it, this is none of your business, people will inevitably have selfish intentions, it is inevitable that they will do wrong things, the eldest sister doesn't want you to carry this, obedient, it's better to study more if you have this time." By the way, you don't know yet, your eldest brother-in-law also went to the front line, and when he was young, he had no one to play with him, and he read a lot of books to pass the time, including a lot of military books and military classics, so it is occasionally useful to talk about soldiers on paper. ”

Yan Chang was interested when he heard this, "Really?" What books did my eldest brother-in-law read? Where will this be the eldest brother-in-law? ”

Yan Yan recommended a few books to Yan Zhang, and also briefly talked about the two battles in which Lu You participated, and Yan Zhang asked a lot of details, and seemed to have forgotten his original intention of pulling Yan Yan over.

In the other room, Yan Bin and Yan Shan were coaxing Lu Jin to play, but suddenly heard Yan Yan seem to mention Li Sui's name, Yan Bin hurriedly rushed over, and learned that Li Sui and Lu You were also on the front line together, Yan Bin sighed, and he couldn't wait for himself to grow up immediately, so that he could go to the battlefield to build a career.

"You think it's so easy to fight, just now the eldest sister said, the eldest brother-in-law read a lot of military classics when he was young, and people would also make all kinds of mechanical organs, otherwise, how could he take back the real determination?" Yan Zhang took the opportunity to educate Yan Bin a few words.

Yan Bin pursed his lips, "The second brother-in-law is said to be a great talent who is famous in the capital, but it is better to be the eldest brother-in-law." ”

"You still need to say it, I didn't look at the eldest brother-in-law, and there is still only the eldest sister alone, you look at the second brother-in-law, there are a lot of concubines and concubines." Yan Shan also pouted.

Although he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, he understands what is going on with concubines and concubines, and he also understands the status of concubines and concubines, so he admires Lu You very much.

"Okay, you little brat, how old are you, what are you talking about?" Yan Yan stretched out his hand and patted Yan Shan.

Yan Shan was just about to defend himself a few words, but there was a sudden movement outside, it turned out that the crown prince and the crown princess took Li Xi to visit Yan Yan, and they also knew that Yan Yan was alone with his children in the Ming Garden to celebrate the Laba Festival, so after participating in the sacrificial activities in the palace and drinking Laba porridge in Cining Palace, they reported to the emperor and left the palace.

That afternoon, Yan Yanliu and the prince's family of three had a lively dinner with Yan Zhang, and after the meal, seeing that it was dark outside, Yan Yan sent a few people to send them back.

After Laba, Yan Yan saw that the soup soup outside was still going on, and after a little thought, she made a decision to donate 3,000 stone of grain and 1,000 sheep to the soldiers on the front line, so that they could also have a good New Year.

In fact, after the autumn harvest, Yan Yan has donated nearly 100,000 catties of yams and tens of thousands of catties of cotton, which account for eight or nine tenths of her harvest, so she didn't want to join in the fun.

But yesterday she heard that the Zhu family was praised by the emperor for taking the lead in giving porridge, and Yan Yu was also looked down upon by the Zhu family because of this matter, so she changed her mind.

Why can these people repeatedly calculate and slander her behind her back, and she can't also do something to fight back?

You know, she obviously warned these people last time, but these people are still the same, even so, what is she polite?

So, she ordered the people in the village to slaughter a thousand sheep, these days are cold and snowy, and it will not be bad if it is put outside for a month, and three days later, a thousand sheep and three thousand stone of grain are neatly stacked outside the palace gate, and Yan Yan ordered Zhou Haisheng to take people to the people of the military department to deliver on the spot.

This move can be compared to the shock of soup porridge, a real 3,000 stone of grain and a thousand sheep, and Yan Yan said that it was donated to the front-line soldiers, for this reason, the emperor also highly praised Yan Yan's righteous deeds in the court, and also specially mentioned the yams and cotton she donated before.

In addition, after Laba, Yan Yan ordered Zhou Haisheng to take in the beggars on the street, and sent these people to Zhuangzi to learn some rules, and then registered and made a book, and assigned jobs according to the actual situation of the individual.

Because Yan Yan also bought the two great barren mountains near Zhuangzi that Zhu gave her, she planned to expand the cultivation of cotton and yams, and at the same time, she also wanted to expand the breeding of chickens, ducks, geese, horses, cattle and sheep, all of which needed to be employed.

Yan Yan believes that even if these beggars can't do heavy physical planting, they should always be able to do some simple breeding, and those who are younger can learn to do some crafts or something from the masters.

The beggars in the city were almost taken in by Yan Yan in one day, this movement was not small, plus the things donated by Yan Yan, so soon Yan Yan's limelight overshadowed the Lu family.

This is the real good deed, this is the real righteous act, compared to the small favors such as the Lu family giving some porridge and sending a few old clothes, Yan Yan really solved the worries of these beggars.

When the news reached Zhu's ears, Zhu was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, because Yan Yan's move was obviously calling her out, and she couldn't get along with her, sooner or later, she had just saved some reputation for herself and was ruined by Yan Yan.

After thinking about it for a night, Zhu finally found a way to fight back.

Two days later, there was a rumor in the market that Yan Yan didn't spend a penny to pick up so much labor, which was also quite cost-effective.

However, as soon as this kind of remark came out, it was scolded back, since it is cost-effective, why has no one picked it up for so long?

Besides, how expensive the food is now, nothing can be done in the winter, and it is necessary to raise these people for months in vain, how many people can really do it?

Therefore, Zhu's little caution was quickly dispelled.

In fact, for Yan Yan, the three or four hundred beggars she picked up for nothing are indeed a big burden, not because of anything else, but her food commission is not too rich, because in the past two years, most of the mountains and sandy land have been used by her to grow yams and cotton, and most of these things have been donated by her for free, so her grain has to be taken out to support these farmers.

Fortunately, she still has some yams left for emergencies, and the grain has been reserved for a year.

As for the place to live, it is easy to solve, because Yan Yan planned to get a few inns in Mingzhuang to receive celebrities and gentlemen, and these houses were built one after another, but because the fruit trees have not yet bloomed, these houses are idle, but they can just accommodate these beggars.
