The King of Zhenbei also knew very well that Chu Lixuan helped repel the North Vietnamese army on their northern border.

The emperor's secret decree also stated that the Dongchen Kingdom had mobilized all its troops to deal with the southern barbarians, but the barbarians became more and more courageous as they fought.

As long as the emperor's younger brother can lend a helping hand and provide the last batch of food, the Xuanyuan family's empire will be stable.

King Zhenbei knew that his emperor brother was deliberately playing the emotional card, and he also wanted to help his emperor brother, but what could he do with it?

His Zhenbei Army relied on Chu Lixuan to support him, and the North Vietnamese Army on the northern border also relied on Chu Lixuan to repel it.

Several of King Zhenbei's fierce generals have gone to exchange for food, although they were seriously injured and could not recover.

But Chu Lixuan is surrounded by the elders of the Heavenly Medicine Valley, the elders of the Heavenly Medicine Valley! It is impossible for Xuanyuan Palace to have a disciple of the Heavenly Medicine Valley.

In desperation, King Zhenbei sent his son Xuanyuan Chen and military advisor to Xuanyan City for help.

Chu Lixuan also received the news that the emperor asked Zhenbei King for food again, "Xinxin, do you think we still want to give it?"

When Jiang Xinyan heard "give", she felt very unhappy. The couple took the fruits of everyone's hard work, why should they give it away for nothing, "Husband, why should you give it?"

Chu Lixuan: "..." What a tragedy! My daughter-in-law is finally going to get angry. Emperor Dongchen is really too poor!

If food is not provided, the Southern Barbarians will really occupy the south, which will be very painful for Chu Lixuan. After all, the southern border is the territory that the Chu family has guarded for generations.

Although the emperor was ruthless and hurt himself and the Chu family, the people were innocent!

If Chu Lixuan dies, it will be over. He can't control so much by closing his eyes, but he is still alive, and he is still alive and well.

So how can he bear to watch the people whom the Chu family has protected for generations become displaced!

"The food we have worked so hard to grow will not be given to them for free. At least the King of Zhenbei must exchange it for land, otherwise there will be no need to negotiate."

Jiang Xinyan is really angry. The emperor is so shameless. Doesn't he have some idea whether King Zhenbei has food?

Chu Lixuan looked at his angry little wife. She looked cute no matter what, and she was so transparent and understood what he was thinking.

It has to be said that Chu Lixuan's mind-reading skills are very good. Jiang Xinyan was very anxious when she saw him and wanted to send food to the border soldiers.

Only then did she relent. As for changing to more land, there was really no harm in it. After all, their subordinates all liked farming.

Especially looking at the high piles of rice, young and old alike laughed so happily and talked about growing more rice every day.

"Which piece of land does Xinxin want?" Chu Lixuan felt very happy when he heard that his wife was willing to give him food.

"Let's ask for everyone's opinions. We didn't grow the land, and we didn't grow the food as a couple."

The couple grew more rice and potatoes in the space than outside. Last time, they exchanged 200,000 taels of silver with the Zhenxi Army.

There are constant natural and man-made disasters, and Jiang Xinyan also wants to stock up on more food. Although potatoes are not afraid of locust plagues, they will lose income if there is a flash flood or something.

Chu Lixuan immediately called everyone to the meeting hall to discuss it together. This time, even the four grandfathers of Taifu Cheng called over.

When they arrived, everyone was already here. Chu Lixuan took his young wife to the main seat and sat down. He spoke before everyone could greet him.

"I have called you all here today because the Holy Spirit has issued a secret decree to King Zhenbei that he needs another five hundred thousand stones of food. He has already sent people to get the food.

Everyone here knows that the King of Zhenbei has no food. For more than half a year, the Zhenbei Army has relied on us to support him.

Moreover, in the entire Dongchen Kingdom, only our Xuanyan City’s new grain has been harvested, and it will take more than twenty days for the new grain from other places to be harvested. You all should discuss whether we should give it to you or not?”

Everyone gasped after hearing this, and the emperor was tired of being shameless. The lion opened his mouth and asked for so much at one time!

The emperor not only asked for food from this barren and cold land in the north, but also specified that he wanted so much. Didn't he have some idea in his heart?

Everyone has different thoughts, and they can't understand whether Mr. Chu wants to give or doesn't want to give.

The new cadres headed by Wei Huaiyu were shocked. The Zhenbei Army has been supported by Master Chu since the locust plague?

As Wei Huaiyu, the former Minister of Household Affairs, he knew that there were 500,000 people in the Zhenbei Army and they needed to eat 300,000 catties of grain a day, right?

How much food will be obtained? After the double harvest in the castle, the dried rice was worth 600,000 dan, which was only enough to feed the Northern Army for about 250 days.

"Sir, the Emperor is tired of it. He clearly knows that King Zhenbei has no food, yet he still asks for so much food." Dai Yuntao said with anger on his face.

He dragged his broken body and brought all the wounded soldiers here to exchange food for the Zhenbei Army. Did this dog emperor want to force the Zhenbei King to death?

Dai Yuntao still has some feelings for the Zhenbei King. After all, he grew up in the Zhenbei Army. More than 20 years ago, the Zhenbei King was transferred to the Zhenbei Army as a supervisor.

The emperor secretly ordered the King of Zhenbei to slowly replace the Dai family army. More than twenty years later, the emperor was suspicious of the King of Zhenbei again.

He Jianjun was sent by the emperor to replace King Zhenbei. Unfortunately, He Jianjun did not have the ability to Zhenbei King, so he took desperate risks and cooperated with North Vietnam.

"General Dai is right. This emperor is so shameless that he wants to ask for half a million shi of food. Doesn't he have some idea in his heart? Your Lord is kind and cares about the soldiers and people in the southern border. Alas!"

Jiang Xinyan angrily agreed with Dai Yuntao and rolled her eyes at Chu Lixuan. She clearly saw that no one in the conference hall was willing to give.

After hearing what Jiang Xinyan said, Master Cheng thought, Oh my god! Chu Lixuan wanted to give the emperor food, so he summoned them all!

This guy is too generous! After being exiled by the emperor, he is still willing to give out food to help the Xuanyuan family protect the world?

He thought that Chu Lixuan built such a big castle and such a big palace, thinking that he wanted to overthrow the Xuanyuan Dynasty!

Are you being too narrow-minded? Compared with Chu Lixuan, his mind is as broad as the ocean, while he is at most a small pond.

Wei Dabin stayed at the southern border for nine years. Like Chu Lixuan, he couldn't bear to leave the soldiers of the Chu Family Army, although they were now renamed the Lu Family Army!

"Sir, madam, since I don't want the soldiers to go hungry, we can't give the emperor so much food for free. We must at least exchange it for land."

"Giggle... Wei Dabin and my wife have the same idea. Yes, that's the reason. We don't have to worry about whether to give food to the shameless emperor. Today we mainly discuss where the land we want is the most cost-effective."

Chu Lixuan watched quietly as his little wife deliberately guided everyone. The doting in his eyes filled his eyes. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.
