Chapter 333: The Wind and Snow in Northern Xinjiang Have Been Big!
Yanwang Mansion.
A number of high-level officials are deliberating.
After nearly a month of campaigning.
Most of the northern Xinjiang region has fallen into the hands of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.
300,000 soldiers also entered the key cities one after another, completely turning this place into a swallow land.
I have to say, this is extremely exciting good news!
Everyone's faces were full of joy, after all, this family business was fought together!
Zhu Di also showed a smile on his face, and he was very happy to look at the report.
But it's not all good news.
Zhang Hao opened his mouth in a deep voice, bringing a not-so-good news.
"Lord Wang, with the expansion of Yandi, the grain and grass of our army are already a little insufficient."
"According to the order of the prince, every time the soldiers enter a city, they must open a warehouse and release grain to appease the local people."
"But in this way, the pressure on our army's grain and grass is too great, and now the people under the rule of the Yan army have reached as many as one million!"
Zhang Hao sighed and said: "Because of the previous war, the people of Northern Xinjiang had almost no harvest at all, and now they all have to rely on our army for support, so they are only afraid of the food problem......
The bigger the territory, the more people there are, and with that comes a lot of problems.
The first to bear the brunt is naturally food.
After all, the people take food as their heaven, and only when the people are full will they not make trouble.
But the Yan army and the southern army had a tug-of-war before, and the major cities in northern Xinjiang changed hands several times, and the people suffered from the war.
In this case, let alone farming with peace of mind, even the life of the family has become a problem, and it is naturally impossible to have a harvest!
Now that the Yan army has annexed most of the northern frontiers, these people in northern Xinjiang have naturally become the people of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, so he has to be responsible for the people and open warehouses to release grain to appease the army and the people.
It's just that in this way, the pressure on Yan Jun's grain and grass is too great!
After all, most of the current sources of grain and grass for the Yan army come from Xishan, mainly potatoes.
But Xishan has always been such a big place, able to support Beiping City and 300,000 Yan troops, which were all supported by the gritted teeth of the son of Su Yang.
Now that the number of people has skyrocketed to millions, it is impossible to rely on Xishan to have so much food!
Zhang Hao's opening made everyone's good mood disappear in an instant, and Zhu Di also frowned.
"Lord Wang, this is indeed a hidden danger."
Jin Zhong nodded and said, "In the final analysis, it is because of this war that the people have been delayed from farming."
Zhu Di was noncommittal when he heard this, and directly ordered: "In any case, these people are now the people of this king, and they are the foundation of our Yan army, so we must not abandon them!"
"Seeing that the New Year is approaching, even if the soldiers eat a little less, they must distribute enough grain and grass to the people of northern Xinjiang!"
"As long as we survive this period and stay until the beginning of spring next year, we can promote the planting of potatoes and plant them all over the northern frontier, and then our army will no longer worry about grain and grass!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed.
They have all seen the terrifying yield of potatoes with their own eyes, and if they can promote the cultivation of potatoes, then the Yan army really doesn't need to worry about food and grass anymore.
After the end of the discussion, Zhu Di has been a little worried.
He got up and walked out of the temple, but saw heavy snow falling on the earth.
"Father, beware of the wind and cold."
Zhu Gaochi took the big coat and draped it behind Zhu Di.
"Chi'er, this heavy snowfall is not at the right time!"
Zhu Di sighed, his eyebrows full of worry.
Although as the saying goes, "Ruixue is a good year", the problem is that the people have to survive this winter!
Now the people have no food to eat, and suddenly another heavy snow hits, the weather is cold, how can the people live?
Zhu Gaochi's expression darkened, and then he seemed to think of something, and said excitedly: "Father, do you want to go to Xishan?"
"Su Yang's body and bones are not very good yet, why don't you go over and ask him for advice in the name of visiting?"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded with satisfaction.
This eldest son is becoming more and more sensible, and even helped him think about the steps.
"Then order someone to prepare a horse, and you will go with me!"
As soon as the father and son walked out of the gate of the palace, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui chased after them.
"Dad, big brother, we both want to go to Xishan too!"
Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly.
He hadn't seen his little sister for a long time, so he happened to visit this time.
As for Zhu Gaosui, he just wanted to go to Su Yang's side more, hoping to learn one or two of Su Yang's unpredictable immortal arts.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Di glanced at the two and directly refused decisively.
"No, you two can't go, especially the second one!"
"Recently, you can't go to Xishan, let alone see Su Yang, do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.
What do you mean?
Why don't you let me see Su Yang?
Zhu Di looked at him deeply, then turned over and got on his horse and galloped away with Zhu Gao.
Halfway through, Big Fat couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Dad, why can't the second child see Su Yang?"
"It's not because of the original war, the second child and Tan Yuan rushed to save Su Yang, but they also exposed their identities!" Zhu Di sighed.
"It turns out that Su Yang has long known the identities of us and others, but he has always chosen to pretend not to know, since he has done this, he naturally has his reasons."
"Since Su Yang doesn't want to be trapped in the world's worldly etiquette, then his father naturally can't force him, at least now we get along with him relatively well, so just continue to get along like this!"
"If your second brother goes to Xishan, then won't this be exposed, what do you make Su Yang think, could it be that we are forcing him to be honest with us?"
As soon as he heard this, Zhu Gaochi immediately reacted.
It seems that this is indeed the case!
At that time, Su Yang personally called out the name of the second child, how could he not know the identity of his father and son.
Since this is the case, it can only prove that Su Yang didn't want to break it, and chose a relaxed way to get along with their father and son.
"Father, in fact, this way of getting along is really good."
"At least we don't have to be trapped in worldly rituals, we're more like a family!"
"Family?" Zhu Di muttered when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Soon the father and son went up to the West Mountain and came to Suyang Courtyard, but they stopped.
I saw that Su Yang and his wife were building snowmen, while Ma Sanbao was doing it on the side, and the yard was full of laughter.
Compared with the big opening and closing of Su Yang's snowman, Zhu Wanqiu was more careful and perfected a lot of details on the side, after all, girls' minds have always been more delicate than boys.
Half an hour later, two snowmen stood in the courtyard.
The stone is used as the eyes of the snowman, and the branches are used as the arms and nose of the snowman.
The husband and wife burst into cheers, and laughter resounded throughout the courtyard.
Ma Sanbao also smiled happily when he saw this, but when he turned his head, he was stunned, only to see that the prince and the prince were watching this scene with a smile at the door, and hurriedly wanted to salute.
"Hey, daddy, big brother, why are you here?"
Zhu Wanqiu also noticed the two of them, and hurriedly stepped forward and threw herself into Zhu Di's arms.
Zhu Di hugged his beloved daughter, his face full of love.
Su Yang also walked over and watched this scene with a smile.
"The wind and snow in northern Xinjiang have been very strong, and the injury of the virtuous son-in-law has healed?"
"Father-in-law, don't worry, it's out of the way."
