Chapter 0350: Northwest
The cold in the northwest was completely unexpected by Shen Yingniang. After all, she is a southerner, so she can get used to the phenology of the capital, so she went to the northwest.
It's much colder and drier here than in the capital, and it's windier.
On the first day she arrived, she fell ill, but fortunately she was in a comfortable mood despite her illness.
What is not content with the husband only bringing her out?
The two children are fine, the nurses take good care of them, and there is nothing wrong.
When I came back, I wasn't as busy as the capital, and I didn't need to plant here in winter. It's a matter in the army, and Sunan Cheng will be able to take people to work for a few days. I have time to accompany Shen Yingniang and the child.
After returning home, they were very busy, and the two of them didn't have time to get close, and now Shen Yingniang is sick again, and Sunan Cheng hugs her every day.
The northwest is dry, but the snow is heavy, and it is blowing one after another.
The old farmers all said that this snow must be a good thing for the beginning of spring.
Su Nancheng doesn't know how to farm, but there are quite a few people under him who know how to do it.
Now that the land measurement in Ganyang Prefecture has also ended, all the land that should be divided has been divided, and everyone who can cultivate it has been cultivated.
In winter, people come here from all over the place.
When Zhao Zhong occupied it before, there was a lot of noise in the city every day, for fear that something would happen.
Now that General Su has occupied Ganyang Mansion, some people were afraid at first, but there was a lot of news from Taizhou. Gradually, I knew that this general of the imperial court was a good person, and everyone was not afraid.
This year, seeing that there is still more than a month to celebrate the New Year, Su Nancheng called to set up stalls in the lively places on the street to do business, and now there is no war, he informed Wei Suliang when he was in the capital before, the Western Regions can not go, but there are goods elsewhere, and the people in the northwest who have been divided for several years still need some fresh trading things.
The goods from the south are not sold at too high prices, and some local people can still afford them.
Anyway, it's also a lively New Year.
In this way, there will be transactions, and the economy will be able to circulate, and gradually it will be a little lively.
In the past few years, it has been difficult to run the rivers and lakes, juggling, singing, and some other livelihoods, their identities make it difficult to be good, and they have no money to make, not to mention how sad they are.
Now the general has spoken, asking them to come to Ganyang and Taizhou, and how much they earn, how much the government will subsidize. At least not starving to death.
As a result, Ganyang has become more and more lively.
"General, someone has sent a few big fish outside. The little one took it. I wanted to give the old man money, but he refused to ask for it, saying only that you saved his son. was previously plagued by a subordinate surnamed Zhao and put in prison. Li Song smiled: "He said that there was nothing good, so he went to the river to fish." It's not easy to fight in the river this winter, and the fish wasn't dead when they were brought in. ”
Su Nancheng nodded: "Since you have accepted it, let's call it kitchen stew." ”
Northwest people eat boldly, not as meticulous as the capital.
There was a drought on their side, and they were fishing next to the big river, and they were all big carp and the like.
It's all cut and chopped and stewed, and there will be no fresh way to eat it.
So at noon, a large pot of stewed fragrant fish pieces and tofu was served on the table, and Shen Yingniang was stunned. They don't eat like that in the south.
She was born in a rich man's family, where has she seen this battle?
For a while, I didn't know how to play fast.
Su Nancheng gave her a quick clip funny: "Taste it, it's also a feature here." ”
Shen Yingniang took a bite and nodded: "It's quite delicious, but it's a little spicy." ”
This spicy is not chili, there is no such thing now, but the spicy of onions and garlic.
"Don't you regret coming with me?" Su Nancheng asked her with other dishes.
"What's there to regret about this? Am I still not happy that you only took me? You've been fighting wars all these years, so you can't eat as much as this, right? Shen Yingniang was distressed.
"It's okay to eat, but it's not timely. In fact, when you are very hungry, you can eat anything, just be fast. I don't have that spare time, the main thing is to fill my stomach. ”
Shen Yingniang nodded, and ate another quick amount of tofu.
"Don't grieve yourself, the northwest is not as good as the capital, but it is also called what you like to eat."
"No, I want to be like you."
Su Nancheng didn't answer again, but he was in a good mood.
When she was in the middle of the month, she received a letter from home, and Feng Zhujun was pregnant as she wished.
said that everything was fine at home, and the Chengkang Mansion learned that she was pregnant, and specially sent someone to take care of her. also said that when her husband was not there, she would take her family to Chengkang's mansion for the New Year. At home, my grandfather, father, and mother are all in good health.
Su Nancheng wrote a reply, and asked someone to bring back the gift to his family, and he was also relieved to prepare for the New Year.
He had people build a big fire with charcoal in the city, and it was lit on Chinese New Year's Eve until the day of the first day of the new year.
Burn away the bad luck, and pray for continued good weather in the coming year.
Many people in the city spontaneously came to roast the fire or bake something to eat, asking for health and peace.
From Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the new year, there are singers singing on the dilapidated stage in the city every day.
His sense of existence has exploded in this place, and the conniving local Taishou and other officials have already arrived, but unfortunately none of them have overpowered him.
In this festive atmosphere, the spring of the second year of Yuanshun arrived as scheduled.
It's still cold, and it's still early to cultivate.
It is rare for Su Nancheng to do nothing for a few days, so he accompanies his two children and reads letters from everywhere every day.
The situation in Xinyang is also very good, and what was originally envisioned has been half realized.
Xinyang's grain output is more than here, but there is no land distribution over there like here, so the grain in the hands of the people is not very sufficient.
However, those rich families are still sensible, and they don't know whether they are afraid of Su Nancheng's current power, or if they have other considerations, they donated a sum of food to the garrison after the autumn harvest last year.
It's really not a small amount, enough for the original garrison to chew for a year.
"General, some people in the DPRK have a lot of opinions about your division of land in the northwest." Zheng Chengye looked at the letter from the capital.
How can everything go well, there must be some places that can't go well.
The matter of dividing the land, the northwest has been completed, what if southern Jiangsu wants to do it all over the country in the future?
That's the cake that moved as many people as possible, and now that they're starting to impeach, there's nothing wrong with that.
"They're scared, it's okay, I don't dare to do it." At least don't dare now, otherwise people hate to death, and they can't do anything they want: "The northwest is in chaos now, and there are many ownerless wastelands, and if you don't divide them, they will all be empty, isn't it?" I don't dare to move anywhere else. ”
What Su Nancheng said seemed to be a joke but not a joke, half-truths and half-truths.
"Hey, that's what you said." Zheng Chengye smiled.
"This matter is watched by my grandfather, but it is not a climate now, so I don't need to worry too much about it."
"Yes, but what if Your Majesty has an opinion? Your Majesty, this is thirteen. Zheng Chengye said.
"Then wait until Your Majesty has an opinion."
