Wu Nian was originally full of confidence in Wei Ru's matter.

As long as there are unmarried men in Yingqing Mansion and Guangchuan Mansion, it is easy to deal with them. Even if Wei Ru falls in love with someone from Nanhai Mansion, he can send troops to snatch them away.

But this matter actually involved him.

Wu Nian was at a loss for a while and didn't know what to do. Unfortunately for him, he rode his horse into battle and killed the enemy chieftain with a horizontal thrust, as if he were trying to retrieve something from a bag.

But when it came to the love between his children, he turned a blind eye.

Wu Nian thought for a long time and could only use the dragging technique. As for Wei Hong, Wu Nian had nothing to say. As for Wei Ru, he certainly did not let Wu test it again.

Cover the window paper without breaking it and keep it in its original state.

Fortunately, apart from this incident, all kinds of civil and military affairs in Yingqing Mansion and Guangchuan Mansion are developing smoothly.

At present, the defense areas of the captains have not been changed. Huang Hu and Guan Jinhan have taken over the old department again, promoted subordinates as appropriate, and accepted some new soldiers, forming a force of two thousand households, which is currently training.

With the help of disabled officers, Li Tianbao learned to train the navy, and warships were launched into the sea one by one like dumplings.

This is not a cobbled-together ship like those under the command of Li Tianbao and the pirates, but a regular warship.

Apart from anything else, the materials used are all perfect, and the styles of the warships are also uniform. After hanging the flag, riding the wind and waves on the sea is very impressive.

The regular army and the miscellaneous army are ultimately different.

The captains of various ministries are also training elite soldiers and dare not slack off. The two newly acquired county towns in Guangchuan Prefecture were also successfully accepted without any mistakes.

The twelve cities of Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture are like a large ship sailing smoothly, sailing steadily towards the destination.

But among the harmonious atmosphere, there are some disharmonious atmospheres.

Fu Han General's Mansion, in the backyard.

Wu Nian and Liu Xiang were sitting in the pavilion, and a cook was roasting a whole lamb beside them. The golden roasted lamb exuded a rich fragrance.

Wu Nian was indeed hungry and couldn't stand the smell, but the roasted lamb was not ready yet. He could only ask his maid to go down and get some pastries to eat.

"Xiang'er." Wu Nian picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Liu Xiang. However, Liu Xiang did not answer, but stared blankly at the sky.

"What's going on?! You've been depressed these past few days." Wu Nian put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Xiang's little hand, and said with concern.

Her hands were originally rough, but over the years they had been pampered, they had become whiter and tenderer, and they were so comfortable to hold. It was just because she had just given birth to her son that she lacked energy and blood, so her hands were a little cold.

"Brother, I'm a little worried." Liu Xiang slowly lowered his head and looked straight at Wu Nian, with a look of worry on his little face.

"What are you worried about?" Wu Nian asked curiously.

He is in charge of the war, and Liu Xiang is in charge of the affairs of the inner house. And there is Wu and Wang Ruyan to help her. She has food, clothing, and shelter, so what else do she have to worry about?

"As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year. The weather has been good these past years, and the amount of snow every year is not small. But this year there has not been much snow. I don't know if there will be enough rain next year." Liu Xiang sighed.

, said.

"Huh?!" Wu Nian wanted to laugh, but his face soon turned serious. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. The ancients figured out the twenty-four solar terms a long time ago.

It is used to explain the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. People in various places cultivate fields, plant crops, and wait for the crops to mature and harvest at specific times.

The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, which seems to be just a hope for next year. But it also has certain scientific basis.

Although Liu Xiang is young, she is a farmer and is an expert in farming. She has watched more than 20 winters.

If it snows a lot at the end of each year, the probability of a bumper harvest the following year will be greater, and vice versa.

That's why I feel so depressed these days.

Six years have passed since he traveled through time. The harvest in Liaodong is good every year. Is it really going to prosper and then decline?

If the flying dragon is behind the sky, does it mean that the dragon has regrets?

Of course, this could also be a crow's mouth.

But we have to guard against it.

The reason why humans are humans is that they can keep flying dragons in the sky.

When he thought of this, Wu Nian couldn't sit still, stood up, turned around and ran away.

"Brother, where are you going? The sheep is almost ready." Liu Xiang reacted, stood up, and asked loudly.

"You can eat by yourself. By the way, call Sister Shang and the others to eat together. Don't call Zhang Zhen, he doesn't have enough to eat. I have something to do."

Although Nian Wu left, his voice came back.

"I hope I'm worrying too much." Liu Xiang sighed, then adjusted her mood, and her little face showed a happy look again.

"It's time to eat sheep. Go and invite all the ladies, miss." Liu Xiang raised her head and said to the maid beside her.

"Yes." The maid responded and immediately went down.

Wu Nian went out of the backyard first, and then walked along the corridor to the main room. He sent people to invite Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao, and Zhang Haiping to come and see him.

Except for the prefect Zhang Haiping who works in the government office, the other three people all work in Fuhan General. Therefore, the three arrived first and Zhang Haiping arrived last.

"General." After Zhang Haiping came in, he cupped his fists and saluted Wu Nian.

"Sit down." Wu Nian asked him to sit down. Then he looked up at the four of them and said, "My wife just said something to me. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. From it, I can think of whether there will be problems with agriculture next year. Although it's a bit

Ridiculous, but taking precautions is also the wisdom of the ancients."

"So I came to discuss it with you."

The four of them looked surprised when they heard this. They really didn't expect that Wu Nian summoned them here to say that the auspicious snow would herald a good year and to prepare for a rainy day.

Although Li Yong is Wu Nian's brother, he is old enough to be Wu Nian and Liu Xiang's parents. He grew up watching Liu Xiang.

He is also a good farmer.

"The general is right. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. However, there is a little less snow this year. I think we can spread the news and purchase some grain from Goguryeo and Fusang."

He didn't think much about it at first, but after Wu Nian reminded him, his old face showed a solemn look, and he nodded.

Now Wu Nian is directly hostile to the Chu State. The Chu State has blocked the sea and banned merchant ships from going to sea on a large scale. Although there are still smuggling merchants, the number of Chu merchants coming to Liaodong has decreased significantly.

Not as good as Goguryeo merchants and Fusang merchants.

"No matter what, the more food, the better. And with the continuation of our copper and silver business with the Kyogoku family, our finances are also wider. We can reduce other expenditures and specifically purchase food to prepare for a rainy day.

"

Liu Zhixing himself was also a good farmer. He nodded after hearing this.

Wang Youxiao and Zhang Haiping didn't understand very well, so they just stood aside and didn't interrupt.

"Yeah. That's settled then." Wu Nian nodded and said. Not long after, the four of them went down. Wu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the door, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked forward.

There was a look of worry on his face.

I hope I am over-worrying.

Although be prepared for a rainy day.

But if there is a real food shortage, the blow to him will be huge.
