I got up again

Jiang Feng lost all intention of joking in an instant, and said in a deep voice, "How do you know?"

She looked at the sky again, feeling that she couldn't see anything, "I remember you didn't have this function before?"

Xu Xia meowed, "I just had this feeling suddenly, and then I went to look through the past and asked a few old farmers."

"I think it's pretty close, so I'm here to tell you."

She added, "It's just that it feels different from them. I think it may be dry for several years instead of one spring."

After she finished speaking, the air fell into dead silence.

Ye Yu's expression was also not good, "I have been away for four years, are there enough warehouses in Nanzhou now?"

Jiang Feng said in a deep voice, "Not very good."

"I was in the military camp before, so I was not very good at managing food and fodder, but the official warehouse was really stretched in the past two years. Even the military ration allocated to me was discounted, and it was the food allocated from Dongzhou."

Jiang Feng looked solemn, "Too many people died from the epidemic. Although it has been four years, there has been no peace in the past few years. The rate of people returning to farming has not increased, and many fields have been abandoned."

"My status is limited, so I can't manage it."

"And the handover of the old and new governors, the turmoil in the officialdom has never stopped. Those county magistrates, three out of ten are worried about farming, and I will burn the incense."

"First there was a great epidemic, and the governor was replaced in less than three months after it subsided, and then the new emperor came to the throne, but the land tax was exempted, but it was only for one year, and the poll tax was still collected."

"After that, the new emperor's mausoleum will be repaired, and labor will be conscripted. Those who have been conscripted have not returned yet," Jiang Feng continued to count, "Later, something happened in the north, and Nanzhou shared a lot of military service and money. Although I am watching, In the past few years, it has been going on and on, and it has been miserable from top to bottom."

"I guess it would be good if half of the official warehouses have food now," Jiang Feng said with a sullen face, "the six counties of Nanzhou, the three counties of Cangwu, Nan'an, and Yulin, are not bad with me watching, Lingling, Mu , Quang Binh is far away, the ghost knows the situation there."

In other words, she is the Marquis of Xuanwu, with a military position, so she can't get involved in political affairs, and whatever she does is not justified.

And Jiang Feng didn't want to rebel before, so although there were still many places that she couldn't see, she couldn't help it.

Ji Yumian looked at the worried two and one cat with the most indifferent expression.

She finally said, "Nanzhou is in a drought, and the imperial court has allocated food for disaster relief. What are you in a hurry for?"

Xu Xia was silent for a while, "I'm just afraid that they won't help the disaster."

Ji Yumian: "? You are staring at the devil's land, how dare they not help the disaster?"

Jiang Feng coughed dryly, "Except for Gu Ziming, no one thinks that I want to fight back, but that I'm just absconding in fear of crime."

Ye Yu said indifferently, "Because of us, they dare not help the disaster even more."

"Why?" Although Ji Yumian became the dragon seat, she is not as good as them in government affairs, even Xu Zigui is worse than her.

Xu Xia: "Transporting food for thousands of miles is half the effort. Li Qingming wants to save food to guard against you. Lu Ming's new governor has average prestige."

After a pause, she threw out another message, "North Wuligu has turned back again. Xu Cong sent a letter home and picked up his wife and daughter."

If there is a war in the north, less energy will be spent elsewhere.

Moreover, Nanzhou has not been paid much attention, internal and external coercion, under layers of deception, it is hard to say which side the imperial court will give up.

"Where did you go?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Beizhou."

Jiang Feng: "...As expected of the Emperor Dog's concubine."

Xu Cong is the elder brother of Xu Yan, the son of King Nan'an, and is currently the general of Zhenbei.

The general's wife and daughter who are away are actually brought with him, so it can only be said that the mother-in-law is different.

If it wasn't for Jiang Feng's unmarried status, she would have sent someone to Beijing as a hostage.

Xu Xia looked at her blankly, "What concubine?"

Jiang Feng closed his mouth.

Ye Yu knocked on the table to attract Xu Xia's attention, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Feng: "...we were planning to call back."

She was planning to fight back to Nanzhou after finishing a wave of Shenting.

But now... Jiang Feng was not sure.

Jiang Feng looked at Ji Yumian, "Is there any extra food in Yulong Mountain?"

Ji Yumian looked at her, "Are you going to give it away for nothing?"

"How is that possible," Jiang Feng said without hesitation, "The question is, do you have one?"

Ji Yumian shook her head, "I didn't notice."

She was not prepared to fight the empire. The empire was too rich. If she wanted to fight, she would be beheaded directly, otherwise she would be dragged to death.

Ye Yu thought for a while, "In fact, disaster relief is not difficult. As long as you follow my father's example and recruit more literati and warriors to work, you can have a bowl of porridge a day to support yourself."

Xu Xia said quietly, "It's been more than a year."

Ye Yu spread his hands, "It's really hopeless, even if we win, we won't be able to hold back."

After a pause, she said again, "Let's see the reaction of the empire."

Jiang Feng said quietly, "I don't need to take advantage of others' danger, but I think it might be worse with their peeing nature."

Xu Xia was also silent. After all, she recognized the court more, and said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be so. Nanzhou is also the Nanzhou of the court, and it's the people of the empire. They shouldn't sit idly by, right?"

Ye Yu sneered, "It's not certain that we are here."

Xu Xia hesitated to speak.

Jiang Feng's eyes moved slightly, but when she looked up, she saw Ye Yu's eyes.

Jiang Feng smiled, "They are afraid of us and don't do disaster relief. How can I disband the Xuanwu Army so that they don't fear that I will go to relief first?"

"The common people may not live, I must die," Jiang Feng said, "Compared with disaster relief, Li Qingming would definitely be more willing to gather troops and capture me to the capital to receive the reward."

Is it more expensive to defend on the spot, or is it more expensive to lead troops into the magic land to catch the devil?

Could it be that Jiang Feng sent himself out to bring them back to the capital in order to make them feel at ease to help the disaster?

That's downright stupid.

Jiang Feng looked at Xu Xia with cold eyes and said, "I am the devil, not Xuanwuhou. The current Nanzhou is not my Nanzhou, and the people are not my people."

"It's already a face-saving thing for me to refrain from taking advantage of the fire," she said, "Don't tell me you want me to be caught without a fight?"

Xu Xia kept shaking his head, but couldn't speak.

She didn't mean it that way.

But do you have to rebel?

Although the imperial court is not good, at least it is stable.

Stability maybe best?Otherwise, what will the people do?

But Ye Yu wanted to avenge his father and sister, Jiang Feng wanted to avenge himself, and Ji Yumian was even more unreasonable.

Everyone seems to have a reason.

How did you get to this point?

Xu Xia lay down on the table in despair, her tail shrugged and she didn't even shake it.

After all, Jiang Feng couldn't bear her like this, and explained, "Even if nothing has changed, even if Ye Cishi is still alive, even if I am still Xuanwuhou, we don't want to do a good job in disaster relief."

She said coldly, "Last time, because of the epidemic and the closure of Nanzhou, Governor Ye was able to fight the disaster boldly without interference from the court."

"Right now, I don't know how many people are involved in the disaster relief food alone," Jiang Feng said. "Take the opportunity to drive up the price of food, and there will definitely be a lot of people who make money in the country's distress."

And without her, the arrogant and unreasonable Xuanwuhou who holds a knife to scare people, officials and merchants at all levels, would they give face to a young and weak new governor, and do a good job in disaster relief?

What about living in a dream?

Starvation is not a serious epidemic that will kill people. They have food and drink themselves, so they don't care how many people die outside.

Maybe the county guards didn't even report it, and nothing happened.

Lu Ming can't even be suppressed by the county guards, let alone disaster relief?

Xu Xia hesitated to speak, but still couldn't hold back, "But that's Nanzhou."

Jiang Feng was also angry, "Then what can I do?"

She didn't want to die, and she couldn't change the food.

Seeing that she was about to quarrel with Xu Xia, Ye Yu persuaded him, "If you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be alone. We can only reluctantly help Nanzhou when it is in our interests."

Jiang Feng snorted coldly, "If I don't send troops, it will be a big help."

Ye Yu also said, "The population of Motu is not large, not even one-third of the population of Mu County, and it has not been registered yet, and there is not enough population to open up wasteland and cultivate land. The food itself is stretched. Jiang Feng said."

Seeing that Xu Xia still wanted to speak, Ji Yumian rolled his eyelids and said mockingly, "Can you represent the empire? Can you represent Nanzhou?"

You are just a pavilion chief, what are you worrying about.

She didn't say it so sharply, but the meaning was clearly conveyed.

Xu Xia was completely offline.

sad.

She's just a little pavilion chief.

Even if she went back to the palace, she would be just a little concubine, not even the master of the palace.

Compared with Jiang Feng and the others, she was really useless.

Although Jiang Feng was angry, he still couldn't bear to see her like this.

She glanced at Ji Yumian and sighed.

It's not that Xu Xia doesn't understand, she just hates the common people.

After all, compared to Jiang Feng and Ye Yu, she is the one who has always governed the people.

And it is getting closer and closer to the common people, from the county magistrate, the county magistrate, to the pavilion chief.

The head of the pavilion is really almost living with the people. I heard that she has to persuade the farmers family by family, and the people in the village are not allowed to kill cattle and eat meat, and they are not allowed to neglect the fields.

Jiang Feng was really not surprised that she would do this.

Jiang Feng knocked on the table, "Personal power is too small, and there are too many restrictions. I'm tired of dancing with shackles on my back."

Even for Xuanwuhou, she is bound up in doing things and feels very uncomfortable.

Seeing Xu Xia leave, Ye Yu said, "You can bring in the family members of the Xuanwu Army, including the guards you left in Nanzhou."

She added, "We have to prepare food. There will definitely be refugees who will attack the devil's land. We also have a shortage of people."

Jiang Feng sighed, "Nanzhou has a dense water network, but it's a pity that the court doesn't care, and the water conservancy is very poor."

She was very unwilling, "There is water everywhere, and I am afraid of drought."

The people carry water while starving, and they can last for a while. If it is true what Xu Xia said, if it lasts for several years, then it is unknown how many people will die.

The more Jiang Feng thought about it, the more he had a headache.

Ye Yu was much more sober than her, "Get ready to attract refugees."

Ji Yumian was the most calm one, she said, "I'll go back and ask about the grain and grass reserves, but if you want it, you have to prepare the money first."

Yulong Mountain was not established by her, and she has no plans to develop Yulong Mountain.

It's just being used as a tool for revenge, and I only think about who can be killed to make the tool more convenient.

Jiang Feng obviously had a completely different idea from hers.

She is really running the magic land.

Ji Yumian found regretfully that his ability to control Yulong Mountain was not at all comparable to Jiang Feng's control over Motu.

Maybe go back and work harder?

Let's start with changing to the White Dragon Attendant.

Jiang Feng nodded fiercely, "I'll go to Ji An to see if I can make some cheap and affordable water trucks."

Although the water level of the river will definitely drop by then, there is one thing.

I don't know if the empire is willing to pay for her kindness.

They won't believe it if they give it away for nothing.

Jiang Feng glanced at Ji Yumian again, "Can the water dragon spit water in the sky be used as rain?"

Ji Yumian flatly refused, "Unless it's your Nanzhou."

Jiang Feng thought about it, too, how could the empire allow Yulongshan to enter.

At that time, good things have been done, and the bad reputation will be all Yulongshan's.

Why bother?

Ji Yumian himself hated the empire, and Jiang Feng himself was unwilling to suffer such grievances, let alone her?

Jiang Feng patted his face to remind himself.

She is the Demon Lord, not Xuanwuhou.

Don't show kindness blindly, that's capitalizing on the enemy.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Feng stood up suddenly, "I'll go find Xu Xia."

She must have been heartbroken.

Jiang Feng was watched by the two of them and explained, "She probably came to remind me too."

"If we don't know the situation, it will be dry when we just take over Nanzhou. Guess what will happen then?"

It is estimated that even the Xuanwu Army has to run, after all, the Xuanwu Army is also a citizen of Nanzhou.

At that time, Jiang Feng will not only have to retreat in disgrace, but will also be severely injured, and his reputation will be ruined for many years.

Jiang Feng sighed, "She probably didn't want me to be restrained, she was just stupid."

Even if you know you can't do something, you have to compare. Isn't this the urine of literati?

Especially for a young and soft-hearted literati like Xu Xia.

As a result, being stabbed by Ji Yumian and scolded by Jiang Feng and Ye Yu, Xu Zigui's little fool is probably going to cry blind.

It just so happened that last time Jiang Feng said he was going to take a look, and he still owed a cat.

Ji Yumian changed his posture indifferently, "Are you rich?"

"You didn't grab much money, did you?"

Jiang Feng: "..."

She thought for a while, "I'll sell you the army. How about the fire?"

Ji Yumian looked at her with a scrutinizing expression.

Jiang Feng: "I'll tell you when I come back."

It's a big deal, but at least it's okay for now.

In comparison, the next attack by the Divine Court will be more troublesome.

Otherwise, don't talk about the people of Nanzhou, she is dead, so what do you care about the people?

Jiang Feng wasn't that fraternal yet.

When it was time for the sunset pavilion, Jiang Feng approached the pavilion and found that there was not even a pavilion at the door.

Pushing open the door, I saw a woman in white lying on the bed.

Hearing the movement, she looked over with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Feng: "..."

Sure enough, I guessed right.

Xu Xia cried so sadly, her beautiful and soft cheeks were full of tears, it was called a pear blossom with rain.

Seeing Jiang Feng, she cried even more sadly.

He buried his face on the pillow, twitched his slender shoulders, and suppressed his voice, not to mention how pitiful he was.

Jiang Feng coughed dryly, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Don't cry, it's my fault."

Xu Xia buried herself on the pillow, her exposed earlobes turned red from crying.

Jiang Feng: "Tears are nothing more than tears. It's disgusting to have snot falling on the pillow. You have to rub the pillow yourself."

Xu Xia raised her head suddenly, crying, "I want you to take care of it!"

Jiang Feng held her shoulders and comforted her, "Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean that, don't be angry, okay? I apologize to you."

Xu Xia cried even more sadly, "You are angry with me, do you think I want you to dedicate yourself to the court?"

"I know that the soldiers in Nanzhou County are all yours, but I never said that," she was sobbing as she cried, the more she cried, the more uncomfortable she became, "You still think I want you to die..."

She cried miserably, which made people feel distressed.

Jiang Feng kept comforting and apologizing, and patted her on the shoulder reassuringly. As a result, Xu Xia seemed to be in a hurry, and poured out a lot of beans from a bamboo tube.

Including but not limited to Jiang Feng's reduced number of letters, forgot birthday present, did not share daily life, dislike her blah blah blah...

Crying and crying, Xu Xia even hiccupped a lot.

Jiang Feng: "..."

"Kukuku..." She couldn't hold back.

Xu Xia's ears turned red, and then flew into a rage.

I stopped crying, grabbed the pillow and chased her out of bed to beat her.

Jiang Feng walked around the table and chairs easily, slipped past her and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, look at your eyes and you're almost blind from crying."

"Do something serious, such as giving a memorial to the court?"

Of course, Jiang Feng had no choice but to let the literati have small arms and legs.

After two more pillows, Jiang Feng said, "Okay, I didn't mean to, were you hungry or full? Have you eaten yet?"

Xu Xia became even angrier and threw the pillow down with all her might.

Jiang Feng was hit in the face, and then heard a "bang".

She was startled, and took away the pillow, only to see Xu Xia tripped over the chair, pressed against her body by the chair, her face covered with tears and dust.

Jiang Feng: "Pfft hahahahaha... I didn't laugh hahaha... Be careful..."
