Parents are busy farming

Lu Zili wanted to hand over his hand, but when he thought of the small porcelain vase in his hand, he had to bow and said to Mrs. Feng with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mother Feng!"

After hearing his polite words, Mrs. Feng waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you two here anymore. You all have something to eat and then go to rest. If anything happens, don't come looking for me. The bed and everything are there. As the fifth lady ordered when she was here, you can just go to bed!"

After saying that, she walked out neatly, and even helped close the door before going out.

The young couple has not seen each other for such a long time, so they must have something to say. If they close the door, they will feel at ease, and so will they.

At this moment, the wife's attention was all on Mrs. Feng, and she quickly hid the small porcelain bottle in her sleeve.

After Mrs. Feng went out, Lu Zili wanted to help his wife sit down and eat together.

But Lu Zili's wife moved faster. She sat down on the table, took a bowl, picked out a small bowl of noodles, pushed it to the side, and placed a few chopsticks on top of the noodles.

"Zili, it's been such a hard journey, come here and eat!"

Lu Zili smiled softly, sat down and started eating.

He was indeed hungry after coming all the way, but he might have been too hungry. He picked up the bowl and ate it gracefully. Soon his appetite was whetted and he ate faster and faster.

After finishing the small bowl, his wife wanted to serve it to him, but he refused, "If you don't eat it, it will be bad for your stomach if you eat it again. Let's wait and see! I'll lie down on the bed, and you can eat some too."

Lu Zili's wife was very happy to hear that he cared about her. This meant that Zili did not blame her for Lu Dashan's death at all, and she could finally feel at ease. (Pregnant women just like to take responsibility for themselves and can’t afford to get hurt!)

Lu Zili's head touched the pillow and fell asleep.

Before Lu Zili's daughter-in-law had time to eat, she heard there was no sound and came over to take a look. She was very distressed to see that Lu Zili was already asleep.

Then he took the quilt to cover him and went back to eat.

After being pregnant, she always wanted to eat from time to time, and she felt something when she saw Zili eating just now.

In the palace, the Holy Master held a booklet in his hand.

This was not written by Magistrate Su County, but from the border pass. It contains detailed information about the situation beyond the Great Wall.

Because of the drought this year, the grass has not sprouted, so the herdsmen have suffered huge losses.

The generals guarding the border speculated: 'Maybe before winter comes, there will be an attack on their side from outside the Great Wall. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision as soon as possible. ’

After the Holy Emperor read this excerpt, he immediately summoned the six ministries and other important ministers of the court to discuss the matter.

The first one to arrive was Mr. Hong, because the other adults had not arrived at this time, so the Holy One spoke to him first.

"The little girl really guessed it right. The situation outside the Great Wall is even more severe than here. So far, the grass on the grassland has not sprouted. After discussion, several generals on the border felt that the herdsmen would not survive the winter. In other words, there is a possibility of starting a war at any time.”

Although several of them had predicted this situation, no matter how much they guessed, they never imagined that this matter would be so serious.

"Although the Ministry of Revenue has just received one million taels of silver, this money is almost a drop in the bucket when the two countries are at war. In addition, when the two countries are at war, food and grass are the top priority, and our country is also suffering from the devastation of drought. If it weren’t for the example set by Magistrate Su and others, we would probably be even less confident.”

The Holy Emperor sighed when he heard this, "Both the Su County Magistrate and the Minister of Works were included in the book. It is said that those people brought by the Ministry of Works did not have any special abilities and could not learn to make the windmill. The Ye family on the Su County Magistrate's side Wu Yatou came up with an idea, saying that she would set up a workshop to make such things, and then transport them directly to all parts of the country by cargo ship."

Mr. Hong's nephew is in the Ministry of Industry, and he has no special opinions on the Minister of Industry, so he helped me by saying a few words.

"Most of the people from the Ministry of Industry went to the south to prevent floods. It is estimated that there are not many people left there now. As for whether the newcomers have the skills of the old people, this situation is understandable. As for what Xiao Wu said, Let him take care of the workshop. We don’t seem to be able to devote more manpower to solve this problem. Your Majesty, what do you think?”

The current saint glanced at Master Hong and said only a few words, 'You old fox! ’

Master Hong just bowed his hands after hearing the Holy Master's comments. Fortunately, at this time, someone outside called out that other adults had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hong immediately stood at his usual position, lowered his head and started cooking quail again.

There is no way, other adults will ask for money as soon as they see complementarity, so he has become accustomed to pretending not to hear.

The Holy Emperor naturally saw him like this and wanted to twitch his lips, but when he saw someone had already come in, he quickly tightened his expression.

After the adults had bowed, the Holy Master asked them to get up. Then he gave the fold at hand to the eunuch beside him.

"This is a brochure just sent from Frontier. You should also take a look."

Just as the Holy One was speaking, the eunuch had already handed the fold to the nearest adult standing in the first row.

After the adult saw it, he turned around and passed it on.

When it was passed to Master Hong, Master Hong read it carefully again. Only the Ministry of War in the whole room did not read it and passed it to the back.

All the documents from the border areas were to be returned to the Ministry of War. They already knew what was said in the documents and were discussing countermeasures together. When the Holy One made an urgent call, they hurried over.

After everyone read the fold, the fold was taken back to the eunuch by the people in the last row.

The eunuch raised the fold above his head, bowed his waist, and returned it to the Holy Master's hands.

"You also know what happened, tell me what you think."

The Minister of War was the first to stand up and clasped his fists at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the border has just been stable for a long time, so it's better not to fight! We are also facing many problems ourselves, and another war will only make things worse. .”

Since ancient times, civil servants have been warlike, and military generals have advocated peace.

It is not surprising that the Minister of War can say such a thing, which is why the Minister of War can sit in that position for such a long time.

A civil servant stood up at this time and said: "No one wants to fight, but if there are foreign invaders on the border, we can't watch the people on the border suffer, right? It was the right choice for the Holy Spirit to send troops in the early days, but we don't know how powerful those troops will be. It cannot withstand the enemy's attack."

Everyone knew that the civil and military factions were going to quarrel over this matter again.

The Holy One also has a headache. Whenever something like this comes up, a war of words will begin.
