As soon as Shen Hongjun entered the house, the two green pings and green lotus in the house hurriedly withdrew. Hou Ye and his wife have been married for so many years, but the affection between the two has not diminished. When these two people get along, the kind of unconsciously revealed affection and sweetness is enough to make the girls next to them blush.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as these two people are alone, the girls retreat outside.

Sure enough, as soon as the girl went out, Shen Hongjun pulled Yun Xue's hand and hugged her in his arms. "Over the years, you have suffered a lot with me here, and now, we can finally return to Beijing. Yunxue, thank you for your uncomplaining companionship over the years. Thank you for your ingenuity and making the Northwest rich. ”

Shen Hongjun held Yun Xue's hand, and the small hand of Yiren in his palm was not as soft as ordinary women, but with a little thin callus. That was because Yun Xue practiced martial arts and swords all year round, and worked hard all day long.

When Yunxue came to the northwest, he was not idle, but took people around to check the terrain and sent people to mine minerals. The place to the west of Xiping City, although it belongs to the scope of the Great Zhou, is not valued by the imperial court. But Yun Xue led people, and was stunned to find countless precious mineral deposits under this vast and uninhabited land.

Among them, the most surprising is the discovery of the salt lake. There are so many undiscovered, all-natural salt lakes here. The salt used by the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty is basically produced in the Lianghuai and coastal areas, and it belongs to well salt and sea salt, and the output is not particularly high. But Yun Xue took people and found dozens of natural salt lakes here.

When Shen Hongjun saw the patches of white and hard rock salt, he was simply surprised and incomparable. On the top of the salt lake, there is a thick salt cover, not to mention a person walking on it, even if a carriage runs on it, it is no problem at all.

Such a rich salt production made Shen Hongjun surprised, and immediately reported it to the imperial court, and then set up a lot of salt farms here. Nowadays, there are many places in the interior of the Great Zhou Dynasty that use salt from the northwest.

Others, such as gypsum mines, miscanthus mines, etc., have also been surveyed with the support of Yunxue. Of course, there are also gold mines, and there are many local rock gold and placer gold distributions, and there are no less than ten excellent veins that can produce a lot of gold every year.

When Emperor Yonghui learned this, he was simply stunned. He could never have imagined that there would be so much treasure and wealth in that neglected land. In front of all the courtiers, Emperor Yonghui praised Shen Hongjun as a lucky general, and Yun Xue was a person with a prosperous husband.

And what Yunxue has done is far more than that.

Together with Shen Hongjun, she went to the Wild Horse Valley to catch wild horses, came back to domesticate and breed, and bred war horses of excellent quality. This time, the pacification of the northwest can be so neat and neat, also because the Great Zhou side has a war horse that can compete with the Northern Yuan cavalry. Nowadays, there are more than a dozen horse farms in the northwest, all of which are under the name of Yunxue, and there are no less than 10,000 excellent horses sent to the mainland every year.

In the northwest, there are many grasslands and grasslands, and the clouds and snow bring people, cultivating fast-growing pastures with high nutritional value. It was then widely spread in various pastures, and high-quality meat, milk, cattle, sheep, etc. were cultivated.

The local sheep produce a lot of wool, white in color, thick silk, and the woven textiles are soft and warm. Nowadays, it is also very popular in various parts of the Central Plains.

There is also a kind of local unique black purple lambskin, with soft coat, terry-shaped flowers, tight patterns, black color, easy leather board, and good warmth. After Yunxue sent people to the capital, it was sought after by countless dignitaries and nobles, and became another kind of precious fur.

In addition, Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun also led people to open up wasteland for farming, cultivate fruit trees, and plant cotton and other crops. Nowadays, the Northwest Sergeants no longer need the imperial court to supply food, but can still hoard a lot of food every year and send it back to the mainland.

Nowadays, merchants from all over the world gather in Xiping City, from here, they trade a large amount of salt, rich minerals, precious fur and wool products, precious medicinal materials, delicious cattle and sheep, and so on.

And the local people have also benefited, and the days are getting richer and richer, and the quality of life is thriving. Walking in Xiping City, you can see people with happy smiles on their faces everywhere.

All of these are inseparable from Yunxue's hard work. The locals are not called Mrs. Yunxuehou, but the affectionate Cheng Yunxue is Mrs. Han. In their eyes, Yun Xue is not a noble Mrs. Hou, but a hard-working, respectable Han Niangzi who brings benefits to the people.

"Cher, I owe you a lot. For my sake and for the sake of the local people, you have endured hardships and fears in the past eight years. Finally, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed, and here, from a barren land, to a rich and prosperous place. Your and my duties have ended, and it's time for us to go back to the capital. ”

Shen Hongjun hugged Yun Xue and was full of emotion for a while. He remembered Yunxue's tireless work over the years, and also remembered the fierce battle last year. If it weren't for Yun Xue leading 3,000 soldiers to resist the tens of thousands of enemy troops coming from the other party's sneak attack, he would have held Xiping City. I'm afraid that the people of the entire Xiping City will be ravaged by the iron hooves of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and their lives will be ruined.

"How can I, Shen Hongjun, be able to have a woman like you as a companion, and it is worth it to have you in this life." Shen Hongjun hugged Yun Xue tightly and whispered in her ear.

Yun Xue smiled, at such a moment, she would inevitably think of the past eight years. Although she relied on the memories of her previous life to develop this place in advance, the hard work involved is indeed not small. Fortunately, now that everything has entered the norm, the people's lives are getting better and better, and they will not feel any regrets when they leave.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you and I are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one. Since we're really leaving this time, we have to be prepared to take all the things here with us. I have to take people to work quickly, and we have saved a lot of things in the past eight years. ”

As soon as Yun Xue thought that she would leave for Beijing in five days, she felt that there was not enough time, so she should hurry up and clean up. "Do you have a lot of things going on over there? Who is left behind to guard this place? Who will go back with us? Have you taken care of everything that needs to be handed over? Yun Xue asked a series of questions.

Shen Hongjun smiled and kissed Yun Xue twice on the cheek, "You are a worrying life, I wanted to sit with you for a while, but you picked me up." Okay, you can get busy with the people, I have a lot of things to do over there. In the evening, the two of us will talk well, and I will go to the yamen first. ”

After Shen Hongjun finished speaking, he got up and walked out. Wait until Shen Hongjun goes out, and Lu He and the others come in, "Madam, let's clean up the warehouse first, the things over there are not needed right now." In the house, don't move for the next two days, and then rush to clean up in the next two days. Luping asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's clean up, call everyone together, there are only five days to work, and the time is too tight." In the past eight years of operation, they have saved a lot of things, of course, they need to clean up quickly.

"By the way, let someone go and gather all the stewards of our horse farms and pastures, and the next morning, I will meet them." Yun Xue commanded.

Yunxue has been in the northwest for eight years, but she has a lot of tosses, and there are more than a dozen horse farms under her name, not to mention the ranch Zhuangzi, and there are a lot of them. Now that she's leaving, she's going to have to talk to these people about it and see how things can be arranged everywhere.

Yun Xue didn't want to give these properties to others, especially horse farms and pastures, which she had worked hard to get to this scale. But the stewards of these horse farms were all brought by her from the capital, as well as the third and fourth children of the Fu Bo family. Yun Xue always has to ask people if they are willing to stay here and help her manage these industries.

There was a girl next to me who went out, and when she got to the front, she looked for a few boys and hurriedly went to pass the word. Some of the ranches are far away from Xiping City, and the lady will see those stewards the day after tomorrow, so she really has to hurry up to deliver the news.

So, there were five or six boys, who went in different directions to deliver the message.

Aunt Fang and Aunt Fu happened to come over to Yun Xue at this time, "Yun Xue, I heard that we are going back to Beijing, right?" Aunt Fang asked.

Today's Fu Bo and Aunt Fu are no longer the big butlers in the Overseer's Mansion, the butler of the outer courtyard is Fu Bo's eldest son, and the housekeeper of the inner court is red silk. Fu Bo and Aunt Fu are idle at home, watching a few grandchildren every day, and living a leisurely life.

Needless to say, Aunt Fang, now Yun Xue is already a good and all-encompassing Mrs. Hou, basically without Aunt Fang's guidance. Aunt Fang was alone, and she didn't have anything to do, so she kept helping Yun Xue with those boys. I also heard from the children just now, and Aunt Fang found out about it, so she came over to ask.

"Yes, the emperor has already issued an order to let Zhiyuan return to Beijing, and all matters in the northwest can be handed over to the officials sent by the imperial court. Auntie, Aunt Fu, hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to Beijing. "It's been eight years since she left Beijing, and Yun Xue has never been able to go back, and now she can't wait to have wings on her body and fly back immediately.

Aunt Fang and Aunt Fu were also very happy when they heard this. "That's great, let's do it right away. Oh, it's been eight years, and I don't want to leave, and I suddenly feel a little reluctant. Aunt Fu suddenly sighed with emotion.

Yun Xue looked at everything inside and outside this house, and she was also concerned, everything here was relocated after she came. It should be said that every grass and tree in this yard has something to do with her. "Okay, Aunt Fu, don't be emotional, you are all old. This is the plateau, which is not good for the elderly, let's go back to the capital, you are all in the capital to retire. Yun Xue smiled.

No matter how much connection there is here, it will never be her home, so despite reluctance, they will leave. In the capital, there are so many relatives waiting for them to go back, Yun Xue can't wait to see what has become of her younger brothers and sisters?
