"If you want to disrupt our Fenglin country, these evil people cannot stay."
…
The people roared angrily.
Lu Zhiyun raised his arm and waved it downward.
Phew!
A dozen executioners swung their knives at the same time, and their heads rolled down one by one.
"Empress." Ding Xiang was worried about scaring Lu Zhiyun, but the latter didn't even frown.
The matter about the stone tablet was found out, and ended with more than a dozen people killed, letting everyone in the world know that the Demon Queen's remarks were simply nonsense, and declared that anyone who mentioned this matter again would be punished with the same crime as a spy from a good country.
Lu Zhiyun stayed in Nanzhou for four months.
In these four months, in addition to supervising the people to rebuild their homes and cultivate fertile farmland, they also solved many local problems. For example, there are too many hillsides here and the people do not have much land to grow crops.
She guided everyone to turn those hillsides into terraces.
There is not enough water here and there is not much rain, so there is always drought and the crops do not grow well.
Lu Zhiyun arranged for the people to build reservoirs, divert water to improve the dry land, and then introduced a large number of good seeds from Huiguo, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Mu Siyu's merchant ship passed through many places and brought back various seeds. This year, the Lu family's merchant ship brought various seeds to Lu Zhiyun. Now is the time to put them to use.
"Although Madam is not here, there are legends about Madam everywhere." Ding Xiang said, "Empress, you don't know how much people admire you now. Some people even mention Madam and admire her like a god."
Lu Zhiyun touched her belly: "I miss my mother."
She used to think that she understood her mother well enough, but when she became pregnant and understood the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth, she realized that what she had understood before was only the form and did not understand the meaning at all.
Mother is greater than she imagined.
"The people outside said that even though I was pregnant, I had to take care of them personally. They were very grateful and worried about my health. You were only more than two months old when you first came here, and now you are almost seven months old."
"What is Master Xia doing now?"
"It seems like he is supervising the work of his subordinates from outside."
"Is his injury okay?"
"Miss Ming has been staring at him all day. He must be fine. If something happens, Miss Ming won't let him get out of bed."
Bai Zhi said mysteriously: "Empress, do you know the grudge between Miss Ming and Master Xia?"
"tell me the story."
"When she was in the capital, Miss Ming met a girl from a brothel. The two hit it off and became friends. Once, when Miss Ming went to see this little sister, she was regarded by several officials as a frivolous girl in the brothel.
Master Xia came out at this time, hugged her waist, said that she was the girl he liked, and rescued Miss Ming from the hands of those officials."
Lu Zhiyun drank the fish soup, had a taste in her mouth, ate a prune, and asked vaguely: "Judging from the development of this story, Mr. Xia is such a hero to save the beauty, Ziyan should be grateful to him.
But why do I feel that Zi Yan’s eyes are not his eyes, his nose is not his nose, and he looks very disdainful of him?"
"I don't know anything about this issue anymore. Anyway, Miss Ming only told me this." Bai Zhi said.
"There must be others." Ding Xiang said, "I think Miss Ming is even more angry because Master Xia doesn't seem to recognize her and has completely forgotten her as a person."
Lu Zhiyun chuckled: "Mr.
Things in Nanzhou are coming to an end, and Lu Zhiyun is preparing to return to the capital.
In the past few months, the capital often sent news, all of which were like "everything is fine, don't think about it", but Lu Zhiyun knew that the court must not be as peaceful as imagined, it was just that there were people to protect it from the wind and rain.
"Queen..." A child ran over, holding a candy in his hand, "Open your hand."
Lu Zhiyun wanted to squat down, but Ding Xiang quickly stopped her.
She has a big belly now and cannot act recklessly.
Ding Xiang directly picked up the child so that the two could look at each other.
Lu Zhiyun spread her hands and said with a smile: "What do you want to give me?"
The child put the candy in her hand: "I behaved well and Uncle Xia gave it to me. Now I will give it to the Queen. My mother said that the Queen is going back and we will never see each other again. But I heard Uncle Xia say
, if I can get the honors, I can go to the capital, where I will have the opportunity to meet the Queen. If I become a powerful official, I can even have dinner with the Queen. So, I will definitely study hard."
Lu Zhiyun's eyes turned red.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the capital. What's your name? I hope that many years from now, I can see your name on the list of successful candidates."
"My name is Xue Jizong."
"I got it."
Ding Xiang put the child down.
The child ran away.
"My dear, this child is so cute."
"You thought he was talking about children's words, but I saw the seriousness in his eyes. What's the saying? If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. I believe that after Nanzhou has experienced this difficulty, it will definitely be better.
Many talented people have appeared." Lu Zhiyun handed the candy to Lilac, "Candy is easy to make, you can find a way to help me save it. I hope to see that child one day and give this candy to him."
"Your Majesty is so sentimental, I almost want to cry," Ding Xiang said.
Xia Qingzhou walked into the Governor's Mansion, drank a few sips of tea, and leaned weakly on the chair.
"The farm tool that Madam painted has been made. It is indeed easy to use. Farmers say it will save a lot of effort in the future." Xia Qingzhou said, "Was that also made by Madam? I have never seen it before."
"No, the land in our Fenglin country is a little different from the land in Huiguo. Haven't you noticed? Let's not talk about other places. The land in Nanzhou is too gravelly and the geology is not very good. I remember my mother used to
I taught the farmers how to improve the soil quality, so I let them try it. As for those farm tools, they are not used in Huiguo. Those farm tools were modified by me based on the land in Fenglin country. Now it seems that the effect is
good."
"How do you Lu family have such brains? You build canals, build terraces, and divert water from above to below so that the land on the slopes can also be nourished."
"Maybe it's because I have good parents? If I'm too stupid, wouldn't I be sorry for my twin brother, as it would drag down his mind." Lu Zhiyun smiled lightly, "We are going back to the capital, where are you?
How many things have not been taken care of?"
"Why don't you go back first? I'll take my time." Xia Qingzhou said, "The capital doesn't know that you came here with a big belly, right? If they knew, the eldest princess would definitely not let you come. Belly
The children inside are getting older and older. You can't stay outside for too long. Otherwise, how can I explain to my good brother when he comes back?"
