The person who came was Xue Changfeng, he was wearing the silver armor of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he hadn't seen him for a long time, he was much stronger, and he still had stubble. He carried the service like a chicken, and he was pushing and shoving, and his eyes were fierce.

The soldiers were so frightened that they begged for mercy, saying that they were ordered by the Fourth Highness, but they did not dare to disobey the order.

"Fourth Highness, what about the others?"

"The Fourth Highness entered the palace to report to the emperor."

"Heh, you'd better go to the Four Princes' Mansion to have a look, he's probably still in a dream!"

Xue Changfeng kicked the man out, and the man rolled a few times, hurriedly got up and fled with his men.

"Commander Xue, long time no see." Liu Yunxiang stepped forward with a smile.

Xue Changfeng turned around, smiled at Liu Yunxiang, and saluted again.

"Crown princess, if Xichang will trouble the palace again in the future, you will ask people to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to report to me, and I will immediately bring the troops over to see if they dare to be arrogant."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "With Commander Xue's words, I will trouble you a lot in the future." ”

"Lao sent someone to send me a letter seven years ago, saying that you are about to enter Beijing, and I am worried about the complicated situation between the DPRK and China, so I will definitely protect your safety." Xue Changfeng flicked his nose as he spoke, and cut it again, "He will give me this letter redundantly, regardless of him, but with our friendship, I also have to protect you." ”

"It's nothing for the Four Princes or the West Factory, it's just that I have to raise grain and grass as soon as possible, and I can't help Commander Xue."

"It is my duty to raise grain and grass for Lingnan."

At this time, it was late at night, and it was inconvenient to speak, so Liu Yunxiang asked Xue Changfeng to come to the palace early in the morning to discuss.

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang also sent invitations to Wu Min, Lord Wu and several officials, and Feng Zheng went to find Zhang Qi and his subordinates to manage the grain store and granary, as well as the stewards of the ship gang and the horse gang responsible for transportation, and everyone gathered in the front yard hall.

At this time, there was no distinction between officials and businessmen, and everyone made suggestions to see how to ensure the subsequent supply of grain and grass in Lingnan.

"Money is not an issue." Liu Yunxiang put his words in front first, "I can pay for it, even if I empty my family." ”

Wu Min clasped his fists and saluted Liu Yunxiang, "The crown princess is righteous, but you may not have calculated this account, the consumption of military expenses is very large, you can support it for three or five months, but it is difficult to support it for three or five years." ”

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I may not be able to do anything else, but I will never be wrong in settling accounts." My Lingyun's industries are all over Darong and Beijin, and now there are caravans to the west of Vietnam and countries further west, as well as ship trade to the East China Sea, I won't talk about the annual profits, but it is enough to support Lingnan's military salary. ”

Hearing this, Wu Min and several other ministers were shocked.

Xu is Liu Yunxiang used to be too low-key, which made them think that she didn't have much money in her hands.

"So now our problem is how to raise the grain and grass and how to transport it." Liu Yunxiang concretized the problem and saved them from putting money all the time.

"Of course, this problem cannot be solved in a few words, in the future, you will have a way, and if you have an idea, you will come to the palace, and we will discuss it together."

Wu Min nodded, "His Highness is fighting in the front, we must settle the affairs in the rear." ”

Now that spring has just begun, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, but fortunately, Yanzhou has gathered enough 150,000 stone of grain and several batches of forage has been transported to Lingnan, temporarily solving the problem of military rations.

When the weather is warmer, Liu Yunxiang will raise food while running Lingyun's industry.

Yangzhou brocade street finally began to flourish under her promotion, many workshops moved over, merchants also came to buy goods, and at the same time the trade with the west was also opened, and began to go west.

In the first year, as Liu Yunxiang promised, Yangzhou brocade industry paid 100,000 taxes to the state treasury.

In another year, Liu Yunxiang went to Yangui City, and she asked Yanbei to raise 100,000 stone of grain, and then went over to discuss how to transport it to Lingnan. Because the road is too far, the weather and the situation has not been stable in the past two years, this transportation is very cautious.

When she came to Yangui City, Liu Yunxiang went to the field first, and saw that the wheat was almost ripe and growing very well, so she was half relieved. In the second year of the war, the Central Plains Army and the Xizhou Army also began to ask for military rations, but the war was still tight, and there was no end in sight. Liu Yunxiang could only withstand the pressure and continue to raise grain and grass non-stop.

When she came out of the field, she found the children waiting for her.

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

Yan'er and Xingyi ran towards her, and after two years of not seeing each other, the two children have grown a lot taller, especially Yan'er is already as tall as her. Her heart was sore and swollen, she forced down her tears, and stepped forward to hug the two children.

"Xingyi, Yan'er, mother......" Liu Yunxiang's throat tightened, to be honest, the past two years have been too panicked and chaotic, she doesn't even have time to think about her children, so she is full of guilt for the children at the moment.

"Mother, we know that you and Dad are doing big things, we can't disturb you, we will wait for you in Yangui City obediently." Xingyi said but cried.

Yan'er, who was already ten years old, took a step back and bowed to the bend.

"Yan'er, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly went to help Yan'er, looking at her son, who was as tall as her, she still couldn't hold back, and tears fell.

"Mother, don't cry."

Yan'er wiped away Liu Yunxiang's tears, "Son, please rest assured that my mother and father will take care of ourselves and Sanbao, but you must take care of yourself." ”

Liu Yunxiang cried and nodded, and hugged his son, "Yan'er, wait a little longer, my father and mother will come back to accompany you soon." ”

"When we grow up, we can take care of our father and mother in the future."

"Good boy, my mother knows that you are sensible, but my mother can't help you."

"No, we're very good in Yangui City, really good."

Liu Yunxiang hugged Yan'er and Xingyi tightly, and then heard the voice of a grandmother, "Jinyan said that you are my mother, but why don't you hug me?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang looked down and saw a little radish running over with a small body, with two small horns combed on the top of his head, white and tender and chubby, with a pair of apricot eyes like her, looking at her with a pouting mouth at this time.

"Three Treasures!"

Liu Yunxiang bent down and picked up Sanbao, looking at this little guy, her tears flowed even more fiercely, she hadn't seen her for two years, her Sanbao could speak, she could walk, her appearance had changed a lot, I was afraid that she wouldn't recognize it when she saw it on the street.

"Sanbao, I'm my mother, you've grown so big."

Sanbao tilted his head back and looked at Liu Yunxiang carefully, "My brother painted me a portrait of my mother, but you look better than the portrait." ”

Liu Yunxiang laughed, but the tears still kept flowing, "Sanbao, my mother loves you so much, but my mother can't take care of you by my side." ”

"My sister said that my mother loves me very much, but I have to wait, because my mother still has big things to do."

"Sanbao is really good, can you shout mother?"

Sanbao pouted, looked at his brother and then his sister, and when he saw them nodding, he turned around and shouted, "Mother!" ”

Liu Yunxiang replied and hugged Sanbao tightly.

"Mother, my brother and sister said, Sanbao can't call other people's mothers casually, Sanbao has only one mother, and when Sanbao comes back, you have to ask them before Sanbao can call you."

San Bao pouted as he spoke, "Because San Bao always calls the wrong person, they are happy, and they also bring San Bao home, which makes my brothers and sisters anxious." ”
