Farming and teaching across different worlds

I can't go, Shi Jingchen has been very busy at this time, and has not fulfilled his promise.

The Chinese New Year will soon be around, Shi Jingchen only had a little time, but at this time the sea breeze was too strong and the temperature was too low, Ji Xiuran naturally did not agree to go to sea at this time, so the plan to go to sea like this was shelved.

During this period of time, the pirates started to move around. Jinghaiwei has been stepping up patrols recently, and Shen Chong also plans to find the lairs of these pirates before the Chinese New Year and wipe them all out.

It's a pity that these pirates are too cunning, and many times they saw their patrol boats receding far away, so that the people of Jinghaiwei couldn't find their traces.

Shen Chong had no choice but to strengthen his patrol. Although he had deterred these young people, he always felt aggrieved.

When Shi Jingchen came to Shen Chong's account to report on his official duties, Shen Chong happened to sit there with a displeased expression on his face.

Then he asked aloud, "I don't know why elder brother is so unhappy?"

Shen Chong looked up at him, his face softened a little, and then he sighed: "It's not those pirates, they have found a way now."

Shi Jingchen understood it as soon as he heard it, sat down and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, although they can't find their lair, those thieves don't dare to come out to make trouble now."

After hearing this, Shen Chong shook his head helplessly: "Brother is clear in his heart, but he feels aggrieved."

If you can't have a quick fight, for Shen Chong's straightforward temper, it's just depressed.

Shi Jingchen pondered for a while before he considered and said, "My little brother has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible."

After hearing this, Shen Chong let out a joyful "O" and urged: "Brother Shi, tell me quickly and listen."

Shi Jingchen pursed his lips before saying what he had always planned.

In order to facilitate the site selection of the saltworks, Ji Xiuran made a detailed chart of the coast of Yunzhou. When he saw the chart, he came up with an idea.

Right now, the Great Xia Kingdom has too little knowledge of the surrounding waters, if only they could send someone to investigate the surrounding waters and make a detailed chart.

For Daxia, it is of great benefit to the coastal defense of the coastal waters.

But Ji Xiuran's method of drawing charts is not so easy to master. Although he has learned the detailed drawing method from Ji Xiuran, he has been busy with official duties before, and he has no time to do it. Feel free to delegate things to others.

So although this matter has been in his heart for so long, he has never said it out.

But now facing the cunning pirates, he had to think carefully, so he expressed his thoughts carefully.

Although he felt a little more relaxed when he said it, he felt indebted to his family.

Now Ji's father and mother are both in Yunzhou City, and he also promised to take Jiabao to sea before, if he leaves now to investigate the sea area, he must not have much time to take care of the elderly.

He is also doomed to lose his promise to Jia Bao, and most importantly, Ji Xiuran has all his family time on him, and he feels reluctant to give up.

Shen Chong listened to his thoughts, and also considered his actual situation, hesitated for a moment.

But this matter can only be done by Shi Jingchen, so he can rest assured, and finally he can only calm down: "Brother, I will leave this matter to you. You can rest assured that it is in Yunzhou City."

Shi Jingchen had no choice but to accept it. Before leaving, he returned to Yunzhou and bid farewell to his family.

After Ji Xiuran knew that he was going to go to sea to inspect the sea area and draw the chart, he just pursed his lips with some reluctance, and didn't say anything against it.

This is Shi Jingchen's career and his duty. Although he is reluctant and worried, he can't stop it.

In the end, I could only make some preparations for the situation that I thought of as much as possible. I had enough food, clothing, medicines, etc., and I also sent him some of the men who had drawn the charts to help him share some of the burden.

Shi Jingchen looked at Ji Xiuran, who was thinking hard and preparing things for him, with gentle eyes and a gentle voice: "Xiu Ran, don't think about it, everything you can think of is prepared, that's enough."

Ji Xiuran looked up at him, with reluctance in his eyes, which made Shi Jingchen inexplicably distressed, walked over, and hugged him into his arms: "Xiuran, don't worry, although this time is different from the daily patrol, it is not very dangerous, at most 20 Heaven, it will be able to turn around."

At the beginning, he only needed to wander around the sea, at most a hundred miles around Yunzhou. It was estimated that 20 days would be enough, and [-] days at most. Although he could not take a normal ten-day break, the separation time would not be too long.

It's just whether he can find the pirate's lair smoothly this time and wipe them all out. It's almost the end of the year, and he really doesn't want to leave things until next year.

But everything in the family was left to Ji Xiuran, and he felt sorry for this person.

Ji Xiuran is not hypocritical, although he is busy at the end of the year, he can still take care of it, but going to sea is dangerous, and he is very reluctant.

Ji Xiuran buried his head in his arms, sucked his nose, suppressed the tears in his eyes, and said hoarsely, "Third brother keeps his word."

Shi Jingchen sighed faintly: "Third brother promises."

When Shi Jingchen and his party were sent away, Ji Xiuran was a little depressed and prepared to welcome the New Year's affairs.

Fortunately, Ji's father and mother were there, sharing many things in the family, and also giving Ji Xiuran support in his heart, so he quickly recovered and devoted himself to his official duties.

At this time, above the imperial court in the capital city, and in the main hall of the morning court, there was a solemn atmosphere.

The emperor, who has not been to court for a long time, came to court today dragging his sick body.

Sitting on the throne at this time, he glanced condescendingly, and said slowly and coldly: "What do you think about the Di people in the northwest and the Northern Qiang attacking me at the same time?"

Battle reports came from the border, and Xidi and Beiqiang attacked Daxia at the same time.

The border was caught off guard. In the north, Dingbei Army was stationed. This year, the Northern Qiang made frequent moves. The Dingbei Army always paid attention to the opponent's movements. Although they were caught off guard and suffered losses, they finally stopped the Northern Qiang in the border town. outside.

But the situation in the northwest is not so optimistic. Although the Zhenxi army is also guarding, Xidi has been quiet. This attack was completely unexpected. There was a sudden chaos, and finally lost a city. General Zhenxi still fought die.

The reason why the emperor was displeased was because of this, he had never expected that the Zhenxi Army would be so vulnerable, and now the Zhenxi Army was still facing the dilemma of having no commander.

When everyone heard the battle report, they were all tensed by the result.

The border has always been safe, so everyone is used to it, so they arrogantly think that the border is unbreakable.Great Xia is impenetrable, but today's battle report gave everyone a slap in the face.

The faces of all the generals are not good-looking, but considering the current situation, they dare not rush out

In the end, the Hussar General, who was over [-] years old among the military officers, came out and pleaded for orders with great energy: "Your servant, please fight."

The General Hussars had guarded the Northwest when he was young, and he had met the Di people many times, so he was very experienced. Now when he saw the crowd shrunk, he came out angrily and begged for orders.

The emperor sat on the throne, coughed lightly, did not respond to the old general's plea, but raised his head and glanced at the other people, then turned to look at the old general, and said: "Old general, please come back, this matter is not necessary." You go out."

The old general retorted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this time the Di people and the Northern Qiang came aggressively. The Northwest was defeated. The situation is urgent. Please let the old minister fight."

Chapter 128

Although the old general's sword was not old, the emperor would not send him to fight, so he stopped him, "Please come back, old general, is there anyone else going to fight?"

Everyone looked at me and looked at you, silent, not daring to speak out.

After coming over for a while, Wang Jian, Wang Chenglin's cousin, Shi Shiran came out and asked for orders: "I would like to fight."

Afterwards, a few more people came out and pleaded for orders one by one. Finally, the emperor looked at the third prince who was the first one on the left, and asked, "My lord, what do you think?"

The third prince went out, saluted, and replied: "I think that General Wang can do it."

The emperor nodded, and issued an order: "Wang Jian listens to the order, and I will designate you as the Grand Marshal of Zhengxi, commanding the Northwest Army to defend against foreign enemies."

Wang Jian knelt down to accept the decree: "The minister receives the decree"

After coming down to court, King Min came to Ming Shoufu's study angrily, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why is uncle stopping me from court?"

When he was in court, King Min originally wanted to recommend one of his own people to be the commander in chief, but he was stopped by Ming Shoufu's eyes.

Ming Shoufu lightly raised his head to look at King Min, his face remained unchanged, but his tone was quite severe: "Your Highness, you must have thought about the consequences."

Ming Shoufu looked at it with some disappointment. The still unconvinced King Min sighed and continued to explain in detail: "Although this Yu Yi is the son of Zhenxi General Yu Zhongyuan, he is too young to take on this important task. The emperor will not allow it, and exposing our relationship will not do us any good."

He didn't want to expose the secret connection between them and General Zhenxi.

But no matter how cautious Ming Shoufu acted, he couldn't hold back Min Wang. The third prince had already known their secrets through the clues of Min Wang and Yu Yi's relationship.

Otherwise, this time, they would not take advantage of the trend to insert forces into the Zhenxi Army.

What they thought was a secret was no longer a secret with the Third Prince.

After listening to his explanation, King Min calmed down, stopped being angry, and returned to his gentleness and politeness outside. Realizing that his previous behavior was inappropriate, he immediately saluted and apologized: "What uncle said is true, it is my nephew who blamed uncle."

Ming Shoufu showed a gentle smile, nodded, indicating that he should not care, and then said again: "Actually, His Majesty has already made a decision in his heart."
