Shen Yuyu guessed that this "numerous difficulty" should come from the Queen or Prime Minister Zhou, and could not be Emperor Qianyuan, otherwise Emperor Qianyuan would not have handed over Tianxia Trading Company to her.
Of course, this is just her guess, and everything will have to be figured out until Zhang Neng comes.
It will take about half a month to travel day and night from the capital to Wantian County. During this time, I will prepare the scar removal cream at home. As for Tianxia Commercial Bank's stores in other states and cities, I will leave it alone until Ji Xun has established a foothold in the capital. Otherwise, I'm afraid the princelings will be even more wary if something happens.
"Sister Yuyu, how is Brother Axun?" Shen Yuyu had just put away the letter, and Bai Yixue stood outside the door with a concerned look on her face.
"Axue, come in." Shen Yuyu waved to Bai Yixue with a smile, and Bai Yixue smiled and entered the room.
She had never smiled since the Bai family was ransacked and exterminated. This was the first time Shen Yue saw her smile, and she felt quite sour in her heart. She must have known that her father could be redressed, and the deep-seated hatred in his heart finally disappeared. It went down a bit.
"Axue, sit down." Shen Yuyu moved a stool to her, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Axue Bingxue is smart, can you guess the true identity of your brother-in-law Axun?" Shen Yuyu asked directly.
"Yes." Bai Yixue nodded and looked at Shen Yuyu seriously, "Brother-in-law Ah Xun is His Royal Highness the Night King of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
"You guessed it a long time ago, right?" Shen Yuyu was not surprised. Bai Yixuechen was born in the prime minister's house. Such an background is destined to see things more clearly and clearly than she, who has no social experience.
"Yes, but Sister Yuyu~~~" Bai Yixue grabbed Shen Yuyu's hand anxiously, "You don't blame me for not telling you, right? I~~ I wanted to say it too, but I saw that Ah Xun At that time, my brother-in-law wanted to live in seclusion~~
"Silly sister, how can I get angry so easily?" Shen Yuyu smiled and patted the back of her hand, "Axun told me a few months ago, otherwise how could I be allowed to take over Tianxia Trading Company?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Bai Yixue nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law Azun has been in Beijing for many days. He should have resumed his status as the Night King, right?"
"Yes." Shen Yue nodded.
Bai Yixue's eyes showed excitement, "Then with the help of His Highness the Night King in the future, it will be a hundred times easier for A Feng to return to Da Qi to restore his identity or ascend to the throne of Da Qi."
"Yes, so after I develop the scar removal cream, I will start treating Ah Feng's amnesia.'
"Sister Yu's medical skills are so good, she will definitely be able to restore Ah Feng's memory.'
"I hope so."
The two chatted for a while, and Shen Yuyu continued tinkering with the scar removal cream. Bai Yixue ran to the village to find Ji Feng, who had been wandering around for a long time, and began to urge him to practice kung fu.
Under the guidance of this strict master, Ji Feng's kung fu improved greatly. In the evening after Shen Yuyu finished his work, the three of them had a competition in the backyard. Unexpectedly, Bai Yixue's kung fu was not much worse than Shen Yuyu's.
Shen Yuyu was surprised and admired greatly. Bai Yixue had never removed the two large sandbags weighing several kilograms tied to her legs. She also practiced hard in kung fu for revenge.
In the evening, I killed a chicken and made chicken soup. The three of them had a delicious meal just like celebrating the festival.
After eating, washing up, and playing chess for a while, everyone took a rest.
The next morning, I continued to make the scar removal cream. This scar removal cream is not that easy to make. Many medicinal materials have to be refined slowly, so there is no rush.
In the afternoon, Ah Xue took Ah Feng to practice kung fu, and Shen Yue decided to go to the winery. There was a recent locust plague, and it was a waste of rice and food to make wine. There was nothing for everyone to eat.
However, potatoes have been planted for two seasons, and there are good harvests everywhere. Maybe we can use potatoes to make wine.
Shen Yuyu decided to ask Uncle Shen to try it and went to the winery.
As soon as I left the yard and didn't go far, I saw many uncles and aunts picking potatoes there. When I saw Shen Yuxi coming, I stopped what I was doing and said hello with a smile.
"Girl Shen, where are you going?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just looked around." Shen Yuyu squatted down on the edge of the field, looking at the mountains of potatoes piled in the field, and said in surprise: "Wow~~ What a bumper harvest, this is more productive than growing rice."
"Isn't that true?" the aunt said cheerfully, "weigh it again, even if the price is lower than rice, you can pick it out and sell it, and you will get more money than rice."
"How much is one stone?" Shen Yuyu asked.
The aunt said a low price, "It's not expensive. It can be grown for two seasons everywhere and it's highly productive. Every household digs several cellars to store them. All the ones that can't fit are sold."
As he spoke, the uncle couldn't help but sigh: "We have a good emperor in the Great Zhou Kingdom. If the emperor had not shown compassion for the people and found such crops that locusts won't eat, the people would have run out of food by this time, and I don't know how many people would have starved to death."
"Isn't that what the Western Region is? The locust plague has devastated the land. I heard that many refugees from the Western Region came over a few days ago and sold their children and daughters everywhere for food. If we didn't have a good emperor in Zhou Dynasty, we would have dragged them away. The woman is begging!'
"What's the use of begging? Every household has no food. They are so hungry that they can't stand it anymore. They have to change their children to eat. I don't know how desperate they are."
The uncle and aunt wiped away tears as they spoke.
Shen Yuyu has seen the tragic situation after the locust plague, where not even a leaf was left, and he can imagine what kind of desperate situation he will be in after there is no food.
I stayed with my uncle and aunt for a while and then headed to Shaiguping.
Before we reached Shaiguping, we heard a lot of noise there, as if they were discussing something big.
"Hello fellow villagers of Shenjia Village, I am the village chief of Lishui Village, and I am shamelessly here to borrow food from you.
After hearing this blunt Chinese dialect, Shen Yue looked along the sound.
A dark-skinned man with a sad face, wearing exotic clothes, stood on a stone bench, with wrinkles engraved by wind and frost on his face. Shen Yuyu went over to watch, and there were people talking next to him.
"This is the head of Lishui Village from the Western Regions.
"Yeah, Lishui Village is not far from our village. To the west, over a few mountains, there is the grassland."
Shen Yuyu approached curiously, "Are they also suffering from a locust plague? Why don't they grow potatoes?"
A sister-in-law said: "It's harmful~~ They are herdsmen, raising cattle and sheep. I heard that a large number of locusts couldn't find anything to eat in the Central Plains, so they all went to the Western Regions. The grass on the grassland was gnawed away, and the cattle and sheep were gone." They all starved to death.'
So that's it, Shen Yuyu nodded silently.
Over there, after the head of Lishui Village said a few words, the head of Shenjia Village stood up.
"Do you still remember the locust plague in the eighth year of Qiheng? Other villages don't know it, but our Shenjia Village borrowed 200 sheep from Lishui Village, sold them and exchanged them for grain, saving the lives of everyone in our village."
Before the village chief finished speaking, the clan leader squeezed forward and said excitedly, "There was a plague after the locust plague, and countless cattle and sheep died. They did their best to raise those two hundred sheep. We must repay such a great kindness. "
