When things have reached this point, there is nothing to worry about. All you have to do is move forward bravely.
Knowing that Emperor Jiajing was fighting for time, Chen Yu was really worried about the 200,000 soldiers. Those were the people who defended the country and were relied upon by Dai Viet during its counterattack, so Chen Yu asked Su Yunniang to see the medicines in the warehouse here.
, and asked her to arrange for carriages and horses to be sent to Xuande Mansion as soon as possible. Su Yunniang had no doubt that he was there and agreed readily.
The matter here was left to Li Sizhong. After what needed to be said, Chen Yu set off without delay and went straight to Wangjing Mansion.
In ancient times, carriages and horses were slow, and it was useless for Chen Yu to be anxious. Mrs. Wang worked hard on the soft couch of the carriage to make Chen Yu as comfortable as possible. Because she was in a hurry, Chen Yu was also very tolerant of Mrs. Wang and the others, and the carriage was covered with bunks.
Soft cushions, sleep when you can. Lengxiang and Xunmei will drive Zhou Dabao's car, so Zhou Dabao can take the opportunity to take a rest.
Traveling in such a hurry, the half-month drive was shortened to ten days, and it was already mid-March.
Wangjing Mansion is not big, and from the low-rise city, it can be seen that it is relatively poor. The people on the street are not as fancy-dressed as Liangzhou Mansion, and there are even more people in ragged clothes.
Along the way, Chen Yu saw the advantages of Wangjing Prefecture. There were many fields but not many villages. When the population density was not large enough, the problem of poverty was not difficult to solve. The people had to be fed so that they could have the strength to do other things.
After finding her own yard, Mrs. Wang went to call the door first. Leng Xiang and Xun Mei helped Chen Yu get out of the carriage and stretch her legs.
Zhou Zhoubao opened the door to greet Chen Yu first. After entering the house, Chen Yu sat down. Zhou Zhoubao reported the progress of the day. The people in Wangjing Mansion did not have much food, but they had hoarded a lot of dry vegetables. The eldest son collected it.
A lot of dried vegetables were given away.
The Sihai Restaurant here has been open for almost ten days. There are too many empty shops here. Last year, there was a flood here, so the people of Wangjing Mansion are poor and miserable.
Chen Yu understood the general situation, and Fei Ge sent a message to Su Funiang that a good herbal medicine shop was needed here.
The matter of making money was put aside, but the grain seeds could not be delayed. Su Cheng had already gone back to get the seeds. Su Qianxiu also sent his uncle Geng Ruchun to Qingniu County to donate seeds to the people in the name of the court and teach these people to farm.
.
Because the situation in Wangjing Mansion really cannot help the current situation, after Chen Yu met with Su Qianxiu here, he left Su Wulang here to help Su Qianxiu and also asked Su Wulang to open a second workshop here.
, Wangjing Prefecture has more peanuts and beans, and the price is 30% lower than Lecheng Prefecture. It is a great deal. In addition to the various sauces already available, Chen Yu asked Su Wulang to make sesame oil and sesame sauce, because Beigu Prefecture and Xuande Prefecture
The prefecture and even the capital are places where winters are cold and long, so hot pot ingredients are bound to be an instant hit, and if you start preparing them now, they will come in handy in autumn.
Su Wulang got the recipe and made up his mind to show off his talents in Wangjing Mansion. Mother said yes, it must be done!
At night, the family sat together to discuss the matter. Outside, Tuesday Bao came in to report that a young man had come outside and wanted to see his grandmother, but he was not the master of the Su family.
Chen Yu and Su Qianxiu looked at each other and quickly stood up to welcome Xiao Qiyu out. When Chen Yu was about to salute, Xiao Qiyu rushed over: "Grandma."
This crying cry made Chen Yu's heart almost fall. The child had grown up and fell into his arms and he couldn't hold it anymore: "Come in first, are you hungry?"
Xiao Qiyu shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I just miss my grandma."
After entering the room and taking a seat, Xiao Qiyu sat down next to Chen Yu: "Thank you for your hard work, grandma. I received a letter from my fourth uncle. He told me not to worry, but how can I bear to bear such a big thing on you?"
"As long as you sit firmly in this position, the Su family will do their best. Now Liangzhou Prefecture and Lecheng Prefecture are collecting grains and sending them to Xuande Prefecture. The people in Wangjing Prefecture are living too hard. The Su family's grain seeds
It will be delivered soon." Chen Yu looked at Xiao Qiyu, not only that the child had grown taller, but also became much calmer.
However, the red circles under his eyes are a bit pitiful and heartbreaking.
Xiao Qiyu leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder: "I really want to go home, I really want our family to live in Sujiazhuang."
"What will happen to the people? Your father has fought for half his life to protect the people here. There will be times when he is homesick and wants to live a stable life. But people come to this world with different missions. You cannot shirk your responsibility.
When encountering difficulties, you should not think about escaping, but grit your teeth and persevere. The next step will be to see the light of day." Chen Yu said softly.
Xiao Qiyu is too young. It is conceivable that it would be difficult for a thirteen-year-old child to support a country.
Chen Yu knew that this was the Chosen Son, but the Chosen Son also had to go through hardships. Every step he took must not be skipped. He even had to go through more struggles because he lacked the original ruthless methods. However, Chen Yu insisted that,
The emperor can be ruthless but must be kind. This kindness is the warmth that the people can look forward to.
"I want to follow you. Do you plan to go to Yonggu Mansion and then to Xuande Mansion?" Xiao Qiyu asked.
Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, then bring more skilled people. If Yonggu Mansion has plenty of food, take it. Otherwise, hunt. Those soldiers are the foundation of Dai Viet Kingdom."
"Yes." Xiao Qiyu truly felt that the happiest days were when she was by Chen Yu's side. No matter how many things happened, she could find a solution, and she felt at ease.
Setting out again, there was an extra carriage. Xiao Qiyu stayed in Chen Yu's carriage no matter what.
Xiao Qiyu told Chen Yu everything on his mind, including Emperor Jiajing's instructions before the expedition and the Jiang family's handling.
Chen Yu really admires people who can be emperors. This skill of checks and balances is amazing, and he can accurately grasp the thoughts of every family member and important minister in the court. He taught Xiao Qiyu everything he had.
, His entrustment is so deep.
"Wangjing Mansion is the most difficult part of this journey, but there is enough land. As long as the people have enough to eat, everything else will be easy to solve," Chen Yu said.
Xiao Qiyu smiled bitterly: "My father once said that the Su family governs the family just like the Xiao family governs the country. Therefore, due to good luck, I will definitely become the king of the rejuvenation of the Dayue Kingdom."
"That's good. Qiyu can rejuvenate the country and govern the world. It is a blessing to the people and the Su family. The Su family is also a subject of Qiyu." Chen Yu looked at Xiao Qiyu with a smile: "I also believe that Qiyu will make it possible.
The country of Dai Viet has prospered and its people live and work in peace and contentment."
Arriving at Yonggu Mansion, Chen Yu met Su Deyan.
Su Deyan had received the news a long time ago, so he had prepared a lot of food. After Chen Yu and his party settled down, Su Deyan sent over the accounts and took the cook to the prepared Sihai Restaurant.
The place was rented early, and the interior decoration is almost finished.
The folk customs here are tough but also warm.
Chen Yu drew the shape of the copper pot and handed the vegetable seeds to Zhao. The hot pot suited the taste of the people in Yonggu Mansion.
Leng Xiang compiled the accounts and taught Chen Yu: "Old madam, it's exactly right."
Chen Yu nodded. Su Deyan was capable of doing things, but he didn't see Miao Huaixiu. Could something have happened?
"Second sister-in-law, can you check my pulse?" Ms. Zhao looked at Chen Yu with a red face.
Chen Yu raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhao, and chuckled: "Oh, Ah He is so happy!"
