In the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, heavy snowfall lingered for two months, and it was not until the beginning of March that the weather gradually warmed up.

The sun rose in mid-air, and the snow on the ridges of Huaxi Village had not yet melted.

Feng Yun took Xiao Man out of the Zhuangzi, and as far as the eye could see, it was vast, icy, and frosty.

"Lizheng lady, you want to enter the city?"

It was the Yao family's sister-in-law Wang who called her, with a snow shovel in her hand, and was clearing the snow on the side of the path outside her house.

Feng Yun smiled and asked her, "Are you ready to turn over the ground?" ”

Sister-in-law Wang said, "Isn't it? We are in charge of the house, spring ploughing is not busy early, and the face is hungry and yellow after autumn. After lunch, he dragged the whole family out and prepared to turn over the ground. By the way, the hoe of the lady's family lends me two messengers? Last time, we asked for two of them, but now they are not enough. ”

Feng Yun naturally responded, and said: "When the weather is completely clear, the trade routes are open, and the farm tool workshop will start, and then let the old craftsman pick two handfuls for you." ”

Sister-in-law Wang thanked her with a smile, covered her eyes with her hands, and looked at the sky.

"It's going to be sunny this time, right? If this snow continues like this, it will be spring ploughing by mistake. ”

On the day of the snow last year, many people looked at the snowfall like salt in the world, and said "Ruixue Mega Year", who would have thought that the next big snowstorm would be a once-in-a-century blizzard?

"Fortunately, the weather is clear, otherwise, God would have taken our lives."

In extreme weather, the worst is the people's livelihood, and the most bitter is the people.

Not only did it delay spring plowing and affect the harvest, but the snow disaster had a more far-reaching impact.

In addition to the habit of hoarding grain and goods in the wealthy families of large merchants, ordinary people cannot even guarantee basic needs, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and every family is lacking, and life is extremely difficult.

Feng Yun chatted with Sister-in-law Wang for a few words, and saw Nan Kui and Chai Ying walking over from the other end of the village road.

The two of them wore hoods and talked as they walked, full of sunshine and smiles, and their steps were brisk.

Seeing Feng Yun, Nan Kui called out.

"Lady."

Feng Yun smiled at them, "How did you come back?" Didn't wait for the ox cart? ”

Nankui shook her head with a smile, "I got on the ox cart at the Andu City Gate, and I sat all the way to the village school, and I and Yingniang came over." ”

On the days of heavy snowfall, everything stopped, but the village school in Huaxi Village started classes after the Shangyuan Festival.

In the past, reading was the business of large families, but the children of Huaxi Village could go to school on an equal footing, which was the envy of countless small families.

It is a big family in the city, I don't know where I heard that the arithmetic learned in Huaxi Village is unique, and it is unparalleled in the world, and it also tosses and turns, and wants to send its own children over.

Feng Yun did not refuse, the children in Huaxi Village were less restrained, or the poor were directly exempted from the restraints, and the big families were coming, and the household registration was not here, so they would have to charge a high price, either spend money, or replace it with grain, cloth or other resources.

In short, to satisfy Feng Yun.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yun opened his mouth widely, and as soon as he received a high price, there was still an endless stream, and there were more people who wanted to come to the village to learn.

If you have a way, you can trust someone.

If there is no way, turn around and ask someone.

Feng Yunxin hired Mr. and vacated the two idle houses in the farm tool workshop, but the supply was still in short supply.

Nankui just listened to the praise in the village school, and when she saw Feng Yun, her eyes lit up, as if she couldn't see enough of her, full of admiration.

"Lady, why do you say you are so powerful? Yupu County, Wanning County, and other places further afield all want to come to our village to study...... If the new emperor doesn't give you an official to do, it's simply a condescension. ”

Feng Yun laughed, "You are poor." ”

In Huaxi Village, she didn't allow others to call her the princess, and everyone gradually got used to it, and a "Lizheng lady" was more kind than anything else.

But it is precisely because of the lack of distance that these little hooves dare to tease her casually.

After a few jokes, Feng Yun said: "I thought you would come back in the afternoon, or simply live in the city and join Wen Hui tomorrow." ”

Nankui seemed to think of something, and her face sank.

"Today, the government sent an hour's worth of porridge."

Feng Yun asked, "What?" Thorn Shijun has no food in the warehouse? ”

Nankui shook her head, her eyes slightly darkened.

"This concubine doesn't know. But the concubine looked at it, there were a lot more homeless people in Andu City than a year ago, in groups of three or five, dragging families with mouths, and children with high knees were all pulled out to beg for food, with big snot, looking strange and pitiful. ”

Great disasters are followed by great calamities, and natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters.

Unable to fill their stomachs, the people can only go out to beg for a living. A few years ago, there was no shortage of displaced people in Andu County, but the new policy had long been stopped after the war, and those who came now could not get settling-in allowances, land, or naturalization.

Displaced people can only be displaced people.

Feng Yun pondered for a moment and asked, "What did Thorn Shijun say?" ”

Nan Kui frowned, looking at the lady's indifferent appearance, she seemed a little helpless.

"The concubine has never seen Thorn Shijun, only got the news, and will not send porridge from tomorrow, the concubine thought that Ming'er was going to Mingquan, so she came back with Yingniang first."

Chai Ying nodded when she heard this, "That's what the official said." ”

In the past, Nankui and Chai Ying had experience in making porridge, and these days they went into the city to help.

The stabbing Shijun in their mouths is He Qia.

After the little emperor Tianshou ascended the throne, he rewarded the meritorious ministers and made some changes to the administrative divisions.

Andu, Yupu, Wanning, Shiguan, and the five counties of Lianjiang were merged into Xinzhou, but the state administration was located in Andu, and the original Xinzhou was changed to Xinyi County, and the seat of governance was in Xinyi City.

He Qia was promoted to the history of the Shinshu assassin and received the affairs of the Shinshu.

The rest of those who followed Pei Zhen were also promoted, and those who were rewarded were rewarded, and there were even many people in the army who were promoted to three levels in a row, and they stomped from soldiers to generals.

The so-called troubled times produce heroes, and many people's achievements are all in this coup d'état.

There are also countless people's futures and fates, so changed.

What hasn't changed is Feng Yun.

In addition to the title of Princess Yonghuai, she is still the chief, not an official or an official, and does not need to be appointed by the court.

She has no interest in being an official either.

The official position given by the emperor can be taken off whenever he wants, and what he gets without relying on his own power is not reliable.

What she has to worry about is the village school and spring ploughing in Nagato, the business in Yutangchun, the farm tool workshop, the garment factory, as well as the shops and sugarcane in Mingquan Town, when will be planted, and when the sugar mill will open.

Also, she is more concerned about the graphite mine in the mountain, when it can be mined, and what preparations to make?

And with so many people, how to store grain and survive the disaster year......

Food is the top priority in disaster years.

He Qia will not stop distributing porridge for no reason.

Stopping the good deeds, in addition to the reason for the increasing number of displaced people, it is very likely that the assassin has no surplus food.

"In any case, we have to hurry up and plant this season's grain."

Yao Ru is right, spring ploughing is not busy, starving to death, spring ploughing is too important to ordinary people.

-

The next day, Nan Kui and Chai Ying went to Mingquan Town, and the more than 200 acres of land they bought there at that time, as well as the shops in Mingquan Town, needed to be taken care of, so Feng Yun put this burden on the young Nan Kui.

When Nankui first learned that she had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, she couldn't believe it.

At first, she just volunteered to send porridge for the General's Mansion, which made Twelve Niang take a second look, but now after a few months of experience, she thinks that she doesn't have that ability, but Feng Yun is ready to let her take charge alone.

"Lady, why don't you think about others again? According to the concubine, sister-in-law Xu is not bad......"

Nan Kui said that Xu's sister-in-law is Xing Bing's wife.

Feng Yun laughed when she heard it.

"I agree, Xing Bing still refuses to agree. Do you want people to fly away at a young age? When I turned around, Azhou has no younger brothers and sisters, and I still don't want to settle accounts with you? ”

Nankui's face flushed with shame.

"But...... The concubine still felt that the concubine was young compared to Sister Wenhui and Sister Ying Rong, and she had never seen much of the world, so the concubine was afraid of ...... Messed up. ”

Feng Yun laughed, "What are you afraid of?" I'll take care of it for you. What's more, you see that the younger ones in Zhuangzi are than you, and Azhou is only fourteen years old and is the deputy chief manager, why can't you? ”

Nan Kui is also the old Yutang Chun in the past, came out of the flower building, knew some words, and when he was idle in Zhuangzi, he also learned arithmetic, and his brain was also flexible, and he had the ability to do it better than most women.

It's just that even in this troubled era where there are not so many restrictions on women going out, male superiority and inferiority still exist, and most people will take it for granted that men should be in charge of major affairs......

Feng Yun is challenging the religion of etiquette again and again.

From Wen Hui, Ying Rong, to Nankui, every woman she trusts, she will unreservedly support them, train them, and make them stronger.

When Nan Kui and Chai Ying left, Feng Yun stopped Chai Ying again and told her.

"Ah Ying, you are now Ah Kui's deputy, and you have to stand up by yourself. Sisters back to back can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Chai Ying was valued by the lady and was so excited that she couldn't express it.

"Thank you lady, the concubine will definitely learn from Ah Kui."

Nan Kui hated her, "What do you learn from me?" I'm not as good as you, but my mouth is sharper than yours. ”

"You're quick with your hands and feet." Chai Ying smiled.

The two of them got into the ox cart with a smile, and when they looked back at Feng Yun, their eyes suddenly became wet.

The lady stood on the tuyere, dressed in a pure breeze, smiling, warm and lovely, as if everything was in her heart, and no difficulty could be difficult for her.

It is her indifferent bearing that pushes them out of the fire pit at critical times again and again, making them better and better, and she is their nobleman.

Nan Kui and Chai Ying, as expected, bent down towards Feng Yun.

"Farewell to the concubine."

Feng Yun pursed his lips and smiled, waving his hand.

"Go ahead, get the errand done."

The two Meiji hurriedly agreed, Ge Yi waved his whip, and smiled at Feng Yun, "Don't worry, lady, I will send them to Mingquan Town safely." ”

Feng Yun nodded, and waited for the ox cart to go away, and then returned to Zhuangzi.

The sun came out, and it warmed up by noon. This winter is too long, as soon as the sun comes, Feng Yun can't walk, she asked people to carry tables and chairs to the yard, put tea, sit down to gossip with Grandma Han, and bask in the sun.

Grandma Han is a worrying person, and she began to sigh as she spoke.

"At this time, the northwest must be bitterly cold, and King Yonghuai has not written for such a long time, and I don't know how the battle is going......"

Feng Yun smiled and comforted her, "How far is the northwest, send a letter and break the horse's leg, why send a letter if it's not a big deal?" There is important military information, and it is also transmitted to Xijing. Pei Lang is pragmatic, no news is good news. ”

When she said this, her eyes rolled, and her face suddenly became dark.

Outside the gate, a carriage stopped.

The front of the car bears the family mark.

She was familiar.

The Feng family.

Sisters, Happy Lantern Festival~ Reunion, lucky!
