A secret guard dressed in black appeared in the royal study: "Your Majesty, this is a secret message from General Pei."
"This boy has been missing for so long, and finally there is news." The emperor who was reviewing the memorial put down his ink pen, and the eunuch next to him immediately handed over the letter.
The emperor quickly browsed the secret message, and his gloomy face finally smiled.
"Your Majesty, General Pei is coming back?" the eunuch chief asked with a smile.
"He was hunted before and was injured and lost his memory. No wonder he has been missing for so long," the emperor said.
The chief eunuch exclaimed: "General Pei is being hunted? Who is so bold as to chase him?"
"Who else has the guts and strength to hurt him?" The emperor snorted coldly and continued to read the rest of the content. "Huh?"
"emperor?"
"The kang that Wang Weiqing and Marquis Dingyong presented last time was invented by a village girl named He Yunxi, right?"
"It seems so. Your Majesty also said that you will reward her after the winter to see the effect." The chief eunuch said, "Why did the Emperor suddenly mention that village girl?"
"See for yourself." The emperor gave the secret letter to the chief eunuch. He quickly read the secret letter and was shocked.
"General Pei actually met the prince! This is great, the prince also has news." The chief eunuch was very happy, "Huh? They were all rescued by He Yunxi? Are they the same person?"
"Yanjiang City, if I remember correctly, Dingyonghou's boy is the county magistrate there, right?" the emperor said.
"If Mr. Luo knew that the emperor still remembered Mr. Luo, he would definitely shed tears of gratitude." The chief eunuch said with a smile.
"Huh, that old cunning guy." The emperor hummed and turned his attention to the secret message.
"Your Majesty, since the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince have been found, do you want to send someone to bring him back?" the chief eunuch asked.
"No need for the time being. Since Pei Yuan told the prince to stay there, he has his reasons." The emperor said.
"Then where will the prince stay?"
"Well, send people from the Dragon Guard to protect you secretly. Don't let what happened before happen again."
The Dragon Guard only obeyed the emperor's orders. They could not only protect Liang Jinxi's safety, but also report Liang Jinxi's affairs to him at any time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be moved if he knew that the Emperor is so worried." The chief eunuch said with a bowed waist.
It's a pity that you don't let him know every time.
The prince is becoming more and more indifferent now, and the gap between him and the emperor is getting deeper and deeper. But the emperor does not tell him that these are all training for him, hoping that he can grow stronger.
"You're an old guy, you're going to say something like this." The emperor glared at him, "That guy has grown a little crooked recently, it would be good to let him go outside to practice."
The emperor didn't know that this way of growing up was not good for his children, but if he grew up in a greenhouse, he wouldn't be able to defend his country!
…
He Yunxi was recovering from his injury at home for several days. Lu Yan did not live in the college these days, but drove a carriage back and forth every day.
Every time he came back, he would bring back a lot of grain and put it in the cellar. He did it himself every time, and He Yunxi didn't know how much grain he bought.
In the past few days, Pei Yuan left and came back. Liang Jinxi's guards dug up all the konjac and helped wash, cut, dry and dry them.
He Yunxi sighed that it really required a lot of people to do it. If they were allowed to do it by themselves, they might have been working on this thing all winter.
He Yunxi's injury has scabbed over the past few days, so she made herself a scar-removing ointment and used it every day so that the injury would heal without leaving any scars.
Ha, she thinks she is still pretty.
Once she was able to walk, she began to see the condition of Konjac.
Unexpectedly, the valley harvested nearly 13,000 kilograms of dried konjac, which she had people seal and put in the warehouse.
After counting everything, she planned to go back.
"Yunxi!" Wang Yi called to He Yunxi and brought two farmers over.
He Yunxi stopped and waited for them.
"Yunxi, these are people from the next village who came to sell konjac to you. They didn't know who they were looking for, so they found me and I brought them to you," Wang Yi said.
He Yunxi smiled and said: "Thank you very much, village chief."
"What's there to thank you for?" Wang Yi said, "Do you really want to accept this konjac?"
"Yes. I told the county magistrate before that it costs three cents per catty." He Yunxi responded.
"Then the price is not low!"
A large konjac weighs five to six kilograms, or seven or eight kilograms, and selling one can be enough to pay for a day's work.
When the man next to him heard the price, he exclaimed: "Madam, is it really three cents a pound?"
"Yes." He Yunxi nodded, "Please pick one up and weigh it in the workshop."
"Okay, okay."
Both men picked two Luodou and weighed them, weighing a total of one hundred and twenty kilograms. He Yunxi gave them three hundred and sixty coins on the spot, which made them extremely excited.
One person asked: "Madam, how much of this konjac do you need?"
He Yunxi responded: "I will buy as much as you have."
"real?"
"yes."
"That's great! I'll tell them when I get back." The man said excitedly, "There are some konjac behind our village, but everyone knows it's poisonous, so no one would believe it if someone spent money to buy it. If it weren't for us
If I really don’t have any money, I won’t come here to try it.”
Who would have thought that poisonous konjac could actually be sold for money!
The two happily took the money and left. When Wang Yi saw that He Yunxi had really accepted the konjac, he took one look at the brown pimple and left in a hurry.
He remembered that his wife's family also had quite a few of these.
With the first person coming to sell, more people will come later. Some of the people who are too far away will send the konjac to the county government, and Luo Zixuan will pay the money and then deliver it to He Yunxi.
This kind of He Yunxi will give the county government an extra penny for hard work.
At the end of October, the temperature dropped sharply in the already cold weather, but in early winter, there was already the coldness of late winter.
He Yunxi took out the cotton-padded clothes he had made for several children and put them on, and also wore an extra thick cotton-padded coat for himself.
"We have lived here for more than ten years, and with the temperature this year, the cold winter you mentioned is probably true." Ms. Liu said, "Thankfully you got up and burned the kang last night, otherwise it would have been too cold last night.
"
He Yunxi looked at the dark sky and said, "Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow."
Sure enough, by noon, the snow started to fall, but within half a day, it piled up.
Needless to say, it will definitely be a cold winter this year.
When Luo Zixuan saw it was snowing, he immediately went to check the construction status of the kang. His craftsmen, plus the people recruited later, almost every village had built kangs, at least four or five in the village.
Luo Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although it has not spread to every household, if there are several in a village, then people in that village can squeeze each other. Although it may not be easy, they will never freeze to death.
