After time travel, I became a talented lady

The matter was urgent, and the imperial decree spread across the country overnight.

When wealthy businessmen from all over the world heard this, they were worried that they had no way out or were offended by the heavy gifts. Their hearts lit up~

Oops, the court is short of money. If you send 20,000 shi of food and grass, you can get a plaque. It would be so beautiful to place it in the ancestral hall of your ancestors~

If it's more, he can also be given a scholar's background. Okay, okay, my son can also get an official status!

There are those who are wily and far-sighted and even make calculations. If there is a scholar, even if my son is not good, I will marry a daughter from a scholar's family and raise a grandson to study. If the grandson is not good, then I will marry a good wife and raise a great grandson. I don't believe it. After spending so much money, I still can’t bring out a tribute student!

If there is smoke rising from the ancestral graves, and a disciple of the emperor really emerges, oh, how can we change the lintel to honor our ancestors?

Therefore, in less than ten days, the food and grass had been almost collected. Caravans from all over the place were sent to the front line spontaneously, and soldiers were not even required to move them. Wen Zhonghan was moved to tears. Look at the wealthy businessmen in our Daqi. They are all like this. In a narrow sense, when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible~

This mind is not ordinary~

This money is not an ordinary amount. From now on, is it possible to do this and that~

When the sky was dimming, Cheng Deqing was dressed in new clothes. He looked at his beautiful wife who was sleeping soundly in the tent, smiled softly, put his hand into the quilt and kneaded her again, and then went to the east wing.

Mammy Guessed that the second master was going out on business and would come to take care of the girl this morning. She got up early, waited for the sound of footsteps, and hurriedly raised the curtain respectfully.

It was spring in April, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was still huge. Cheng Deqing opened the curtain and saw Min Min'er covered with a brocade quilt, sleeping ignorantly, innocently and coquettishly.

She looked more and more similar to Yun Niang, both of them were equally lovely. Her big, watery eyes were closed obediently at the moment, and her nose was flaring, which made his heart soften. If she opened her eyes, She will definitely call daddy sweetly, and then act coquettishly and let him hug her.

If she wakes up and finds out that he has traveled far away, she will definitely hug Yun Niang’s legs and act playfully. When she was little, she was a pink and plump boy, but as she grew up, she became more and more naughty~

His temperament is really the same as when he was a child~

Cheng Deqing thought about how this little guy failed to grab the Han family's children's toys a few days ago and cried so hard that his nose was soaked with snot, and he couldn't help but laugh softly~

"Second Master, it's almost time." Er Shunzi coughed at the door. Cheng Deqing looked at the sky outside the window. It was getting late, so he reluctantly kissed his daughter's little face and gently stretched out his hand from the quilt. He tucked his little feet back and walked out the door softly.

Mr. Liu specially waited in front of the house this morning. Seeing his son-in-law's calm and reliable appearance, he felt very proud. "Don't worry about the house when you are away. I will take care of the house. You can do things with peace of mind and don't be too quick. But Take care of yourself, your beloved wife and children at home are counting on you,"

Mr. Liu rambled on, Cheng Deqing had already become a senior official of the fourth rank, why should Mr. Liu worry about it, but he only had Yun Niang as his lifeblood, so naturally he cherished his son-in-law very much, so he naturally wanted to say more.

"Don't worry, dad. I know that the family depends on dad. If there is any emergency, I told Liu Yan that he will take care of him. I will leave now." Cheng Deqing leaned over and saluted, and Mr. Liu felt sour. , as I get older, I don’t know why, my eye sockets become shallower, and I can’t bear the separation.

"Let's go, let's not think about it~"

Cheng Deqing rode out of the house, turned around and saw Liu Yunniang standing there waving to him in the dim light of morning in front of the window of the main courtyard. She was a beautiful woman, so he didn't think much about it, and walked out of the house.

The army gathered outside the Meridian Gate. The emperor worshiped heaven and earth, boosted morale, and set off with his ministers and generals.

The ministers who stayed in the court gathered around the emperor and walked all the way out of the suburbs of Beijing before turning back.

There are no ordinary people around to watch, and the civil servants, generals and the emperor who are on official business don't have to carry them. In April, the wind and sand in the suburbs of Beijing are so strong that even thin-skinned people can scrape off a layer of skin, even rough military officers. Recently, the border has been peaceful. , I returned to Beijing to report on my work during the Chinese New Year. I stayed there for a month and was nourished by wine, fish and meat all day long. My skin has become a little more delicate, how can I stand the yellow wind of doing so~

So as soon as the emperor went to rest in the golden sedan chair, the civil servants and generals also got into the carriage and lay down~

Cheng Deqing, Cao Lu and Song Qi rode in a carriage.

They were closest to the Holy Driver, separated only by a group of imperial guards and palace servants.

Urgent reports from the border came from time to time, so the emperor would work on the felt cloth spread on the spot and read the papers. When he arrived at a place, the local officials had already vacated their official offices and traveled three hundred miles to greet the Holy Emperor. For the time being, everything was fine. of ~

The road went further and further, and became more and more bumpy and bumpy as it went north. The carriage was shaking and bumpy; the wind and sand became heavier and heavier as we went, and patches of dim desert came into view. The villages were gone, and the vegetation was gone, let alone the people. Now, Cao Lu looked at the thick yellow sand in the abandoned fields and sighed~

Song Qi knew this place. He had gone back and forth many times before and met a family with three children. The husband was captured and sent to work as a corvee. He never returned. That year there was drought and water shortage, and there was no harvest in the fields. , mother and son could no longer survive, so they had to bury the old man who had already died of starvation, and then fled.

There are many Gobi deserts in the North, and wild wolves appear there. That time, a lame wolf chased the mother and her son, and almost succeeded.

"Hey!" I don't know if the mother and son are still alive now. . .

The carriage creaked and swayed, and the soldiers marched forward in silence with their heads lowered. There was a long road ahead, and what awaited ahead might be a burial ground. The crowd was very quiet, and they could only hear dull footsteps and occasional horse hooves. Neighing.

After digging pits and burying pots for cooking, and having a simple meal, the soldiers began to travel again, passing through a barren mountain range. The sun was about to set, and the cold wind mixed with yellow sand, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

A village finally appeared ahead.

It's not a village, just a few low thatched houses, made of straw and reeds mixed with soil. A few of them are standing alone, and a few skinny people in ragged clothes and unkempt faces are stretching their heads in the thatched huts. , seeing the army passing by, no one dared to show up.

His Majesty the Emperor woke up from his nap and inadvertently opened the curtain. He saw an old woman with a sallow complexion and chapped skin. She was worse than a beggar on the roadside in the capital. She came forward tremblingly and knelt down on the ground to kowtow. , muttering something in his mouth, the soldier shouted in a deep voice, "Back off! Back off!"

Cheng Deqing, Song Qi, and Cao Lu all got off the carriage. Looking at this old woman who was not even as good as an animal, they all felt sour in their hearts.

Alas, Renzong was ungrateful. He only cared about comfort and enjoyment and did not care about the life or death of the people.

The emperor also sat up straight and watched with cold eyes as the soldiers sent the old woman away rudely, the pieces of silver that Cao Lu and Cheng Deqing quietly left behind, and the shadows shaking in the dark thatched hut.

Another puff of yellow smoke rose in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves and wheels followed one after another, making a crashing sound.

"Oh, a small county magistrate has such a big parade. You can tell by the sound of horse hooves that it is a fat and strong horse!" Cao Lu read the statement, calculated the time and place of the march, and knew that this was It was the magistrate of Gan County who came to greet him.

When the people in the capital met the emperor's patrol, their whole families would go out to watch the excitement. In this dilapidated village, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant all came, but the people in the thatched hut were quiet, as if there was really no one there.
