The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 97

An ordinary sheepskin jacket without embroidery or gemstones was exchanged for two catties of granulated sugar as white as snow!

Two sticks of cistanche were exchanged for two bottles of seafood sauce and a stew that is said to be called kelp, which is very delicious seafood!

But the spies were very happy.

How can I care about spying on the military situation? I took out everything on hand and replaced it with sugar, soy sauce, seafood... and then hurriedly slipped back outside the customs to report.

Such a small amount of things in exchange for so many seasonings, and seafood that is not common outside the customs, what kind of city and battle are you fighting!Why don't you get something in exchange?No casualties yet.

When the Tatar king heard the spies' report, his first reaction was disbelief.

The spies who infiltrated the capital last year said they had seen these things, but the prices in the capital were not so low, only princes and nobles could afford them, how could Yanguan sell them so cheaply?
Continue to explore!
The second wave of spies sneaked into the pass again.

This time they brought a lot of leather jackets and wild herbs that were worthless in their eyes.

Wang said that if you can't spy on the military situation, you can exchange some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and canned fruits that are scarce outside the customs and go back.

The spies mingled with the people of Yanguan, looting and looting in exchange for a bunch of things.

Once again, it was verified that the snowflake white sugar, ruby ​​brown sugar, and canned fruit sold at sky-high prices in Beijing were indeed very cheap in Yanguan.

The king of the Tatar tribe became interested.

"Find a way to continue mixing in and changing! This king wants to see how many such good things there are in Yanguan!"

At the same time, the King Jinnan convoy, who set off immediately after the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to rushing on the road, also purchased a batch of farmland farms along the way as spare granaries, so that no matter how fast they rushed, by the time they arrived at Yanguan, the ice and snow had gradually melted It's March in Yangchun, and the New Year is spent on the road.

Nanny Feng, who arrived earlier with the escort vehicle, had already brought all the maidservants up and down the mansion, tidying it up like a new house.

Originally, when Xu Yinian was getting old, when she passed by Furong County, it was Nanny Feng who insisted on coming to Yanguan to let her go back to Xu Mansion to reunite with her family.

"The old slave is old, but his hands and feet are still flexible. After Yanguan settles down, it is time for the princess to have a child. The old slave is not proficient, but when it comes to raising children, the old slave is still somewhat sure. Then Those who say that I don’t feel relieved to leave it to other people’s old slaves, Chunlan and others are still children.”

Xu Yin was speechless.

If Nanny Feng didn't mention it, she wouldn't have thought about the child at all, okay?

In fact, the past two years have been so fulfilling that I hardly have time to think about pregnancy or children.

That night, she asked Yan Kejin eagerly, why didn't she see him give birth after two years of marriage?Doesn't he want a child of his own?

The dog man smiled meaningfully: "The king asked the imperial doctor. The princess looks weak, but her body is still strong. If she is not pregnant, it may be that her fate with the child has not yet come, so don't worry."

"..."

Who the hell is in a hurry!

Yan Kejin lay on her shoulders, exhaling hot air directly to the tips of her ears:
"Does the princess also want to say that it's good to have no children to disturb? Is the 'two-person world' that the princess said is what it is now?"

"……"You think too much.

She was wrong!
She shouldn't have brought up the subject.

After provoking it... Anyway, I jumped from the topic of "children" to the unspeakable "battlefield".

When she woke up the next day, Xu Yin felt as if she had been run over by a big truck all night, and her whole body was sore.

On the contrary, the dog man, with a refreshed face, had breakfast with the concubine before going to the military camp.

As a newcomer, there are many things to be busy.The most important firearms battalion should be settled as soon as possible so that formal training can start.

Xu Yin went back to her room to catch up on sleep, and woke up again, it was already noon.

Mammy came in and said that the wife of Mrs. Wan's family came to visit and asked if she would like to see her.

"See."

It's just a good time to understand the current situation of life in Yanguan.

There are ten people under the supervision of Yan Kejin, but there are only four female relatives who came this time.

The other six ten thousand chiefs were either unmarried, or left their wives at home to serve their parents-in-law, and did not join the army.

Fortunately, the female relatives of these four people have been with the army for many years, and they know everything about Yanguan like the back of their hands, but Xu Yin can answer a few questions, which is enough for her to understand.

"Madam doesn't know that there are very few fields in Yanguan that can produce grain. Most of them are sandy soil, and everything is sparsely planted. The grain has to be transported from the inner county. Sometimes the transport is late, and three meals are not available. , The days of clear soup and little water are really tormenting."

"Madam will be frightened if she sees the houses where the locals live. Many of them don't build houses, they just find a hilltop to dig stone holes, and they say they are warm in winter and cool in summer. Most of the houses in Yanguan City are ours. Such military family members are either from Neijun who came here to do business."

"Ma'am, this concubine came to Yanguan with my husband, and what I am most unaccustomed to is the lack of water. There is little rain here. The local people have experienced droughts in previous years, and they are still worried. Even if it is not a dry season, they save water."

Before Xu Yin came, she was fully prepared for the lack of supplies at Yanguan, but she never expected that the reality would be more difficult than she expected.Especially water, which cannot be transported from Nanman or Zhuangzi along the way!

She desperately recalled, how did later generations solve the problem of water use in the Northwest?
South-to-North Water Diversion?

Long-term planning is fine, but to alleviate the immediate predicament, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

After all, with the economic strength and technological level of later generations, it took more than ten years and hundreds of billions of dollars to realize the water connection. In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to break through regional restrictions and realize the South-to-North Water Diversion.

[Ding——Explore the northwest area of ​​Yanhua, complete and reward a map of the area. 】

At this time, the system issued a task to her again.

Exploring the northwest region of Yanhua?

This is much bigger than Nanman, a vast expanse of heaven and earth, the task is not easy, but fortunately, there are a lot of corresponding energy point rewards after completion.

After Xu Yin sent away a few female family members, she began to arrange people to investigate.

Unexpectedly, during this investigation, a group of Tartars who sneaked into the pass in disguise were accidentally discovered.

At first, Xu Yin also thought it was a trick, but she didn't expect to find out a ridiculous truth during the interrogation.

"What? Are they here to trade?"

"Ah."

Yan Kejin was also a little dumbfounded, leaning on the back of the chair and twisting the sore brows, he interrogated himself all night, but he didn't want such an answer.

According to the law, one needs to go through the customs to enter the customs. The generals guarding the customs have neglected their duties and have been dealt with by him. Most of them are Yan Keheng's people.Taking this opportunity to rectify the military appearance and discipline.

"...At first, he refused to say anything, but then a tartar who had a pregnant woman waiting for brown sugar couldn't help crying, so he recruited them all. In addition, this time, two groups of people have disguised themselves as common people in the customs and sneaked into the market. , exchanged sheepskin jackets, wool felts, ghee, etc. for the scarce sugar, soy sauce, canned food, and fine cotton cloth outside the pass..."

Xu Yin's eyes lit up as she listened:

"My lord, I know how to stop fighting!"
