Subsequently, Jiqing was renamed Yingtianfu, and the Generalissimo Mansion of the Tianxing Health Wing was set up, and it was convenient to recruit Confucian scholars to worship celebrities.

Jiang Qinglan watched from the sidelines, her expression was very pleased, this class of younger brothers has graduated!

Liu Futong, who was sending troops to attack Yuan, was stunned for a long time after learning the news, and finally in the name of King Xiao Ming, he gave a gift and congratulated Wen Jian.

And it was precisely because of Liu Futong's stalemate with the Yuan soldiers that the Yuan court couldn't take care of Zhu Chongba in the south for a while, and he didn't see Zhu Chongba's small force in his eyes.

This gave Zhu Chongba enough time to consolidate his territory, expand his strength, and open up territory.

Jiang Qinglan put a stick of incense on herself in the newly built God of Wealth Temple, and paid tribute to herself for fanning the flames and sending the warehouse to Zhu Chongba in exchange for a respite, and now she can resume the days when she didn't have to worry about anything before, just care about her own incense!

And Zhu Chongba did handle all kinds of things very well, and he was even more convinced of Jiang Qinglan's nine-character mantra, and the first thing he did was to build a high wall and build fortifications.

In the past few years, there have been wars everywhere, most of the strong men in the rural areas have joined the army, and there is a great shortage of labor force on the land, and in addition, the war has ravaged and the grain harvest has decreased, and many people have starved to death, and the army has become even more insatiable, and in some places even people are used as food.

The army supplies everywhere basically rely on posting big lists, recruiting the people of the countryside to pay grain and grass, called village grain, saying that it is levied, but if one is not careful, it becomes a grain grab, and even in Liu Futong's team, there are no less such things.

Zhu Chongba seems to be a born politician, he deeply understands in his heart that the consolidation of political power depends on the obedience of the common people, and the grain and taxes are all on the common people, and everything is scraped dry, who will he ask for next time? Moreover, this will force the common people to have no way out, what is the difference between this and the Yuan court and those who took the opportunity to burn and rob the common people?

What's more, when he entered Yingtian, he said in public that he had come to remove trouble for them, and now he went to ask for food, didn't he slap himself in the face?

Therefore, the method of village grain is unacceptable.

But after thinking about it, I didn't think of a good way to get food, and my worried face grew every day.

Miss Ma looked distressed, and she couldn't help anything, and her mood also became low.

After Jiang Qinglan didn't worry about Zhu Chongba's affairs, she rarely asked about Ying Tianfu, so she didn't know what these two people were worried about, seeing that Miss Ma was depressed, she thought that Zhu Chongba had bullied her, how could this work?

"Actually...... You can help him with this. Jiang Qinglan smiled, turned around and went into the house to take out a package, and stuffed it into Miss Ma's hand, "Go and plant it in the yard of Sixteen." ”

These words, this picture, made Miss Ma feel a sense of familiarity, she opened the package and looked, sure enough...... Seeds, only this time in addition to flower seeds and vegetable seeds, there are also some grain seeds.

Can this really help Brother Sixteen? Miss Ma was skeptical......

"Go, if Sixteen asks, you will say that all grain grows in the ground, and now there is no grain, but it is sown, and the earth will not deceive man. Jiang Qinglan said with a smile.

Miss Ma didn't seem to understand, but she still held the seeds.

Bottle looked at the back of Miss Ma, "Sister Qinglan, you fooled Sister Ma to farm again......"

"Hey, how can it be said to be a fool? This is to help Sister Ma brush up her good feelings in front of your sixteenth brother. Jiang Qinglan smiled happily, "This time, your sister Ma and brother sixteen will thank me." ”

After the horse girl went, she loosened the soil in the yard with a shovel, and then sprinkled the seeds to water and fertilize them, and planted them very seriously.

After Zhu Chongba came back and saw it, she really asked her what she was planting, and Miss Ma said according to Jiang Qinglan's words, but she didn't expect that after speaking, Zhu Chongba didn't speak for a long time.

Miss Ma panicked, why didn't Brother Sixteen say anything? Could she be angry with herself? In a hurry, Miss Ma couldn't take much care of it, and then said, "I just see that you are frowning these days, and I can't think of a way to help you, so I think of using the stupidest way to plant some for Brother Sixteen, no matter how much, it is better than being in a hurry." ”

After Miss Ma finished speaking, she was shocked to realize that she had revealed all her intentions in front of Zhu Chongba, her little face blushed, her feet gave birth to her will, turned a corner, and ran towards the door.

found that Zhu Chongba was holding the shovel she dropped in his hand and looked at her excitedly.

"Sixteenth brother...... You ......" Miss Ma was shy and embarrassed at this time, and didn't know what to say.

"Miss Ma thank you so much!" Zhu Chongba looked at Miss Ma with sparkling eyes, "You're right, the grain grows in the ground, and the people's grain also grows in the ground, since it grows in the ground, instead of asking the people for food, why not produce it yourself?"

Miss Ma realized that Jiang Qinglan was the one she told Zhu Chongba to solve the food problem, she was a little happy, and a little unhappy, she was happy to solve the problem of the sixteenth brother, but she was unhappy that she didn't understand what Jiang Qinglan meant at that time, if she was as smart as Qinglan's sister, wouldn't she be able to get along better with the sixteenth brother?

And Zhu Chongba was immersed in the joy of solving the food problem, and directly ignored Miss Ma's shyness, he stepped forward and walked up to Miss Ma, "Miss Ma, I heard that you are very good at tending to the crops, can you please do me a favor?"

Can help Zhu Chongba, how could Miss Ma refuse, although this question is very strange, she still nodded stiffly, "You say." ”

"Those soldiers who surrendered don't know how to farm, can you work the horse girl to come and teach them?" Zhu Chongba looked at the horse girl with some expectation.

Where could Miss Ma stand such a look, and immediately nodded in response.

"Thank you!" Zhu Chongba handed the shovel to Miss Ma and exclaimed, "This shovel can solve my lack of food! Miss Ma rested early today, and I will personally pick you up to the barracks tomorrow." ”

Miss Ma took it in a daze, and walked away with fluttering soles on her feet, ...... herself Did you really help Brother Sixteen?

If Jiang Qinglan knew that the tricky girl she arranged to solve the dilemma of food and grass was played like this by the two of them, she would definitely turn her hands into a five-fingered mountain and throw them on the faces of the two people, one on the face of one person!

Let you talk about love and love each other, who let you discuss and teach people to farm! It's a shame!

With the solution, the rest of the matter is much easier.

Zhu Chongba set up a special envoy to the capital water camp and field, who was specially responsible for building river embankments, building water conservancy projects, restoring farmland production and supplying military supplies, and assigned generals to dig pits and wasteland everywhere.

Jiang Qinglan looked at Zhile, thought of the barefoot doctor who had heard of practicing medicine while farming before his death, and gave these soldiers a nickname - Barefoot General with a smile.
