There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 870

[Chapter 870 Chapter 870, it’s not a big deal]

Xiao Yeyang came back on the afternoon of the fifth day Daohua and his party arrived in Ganzhou City.

Daohua was wearing a fox fur and sat on the kang facing the window to read the county annals of Ganzhouwei. There is no glass here in Xiliang, and the windows are all covered with oiled paper, which makes the room very dark even in the daytime. .

In the whole house, only the window side has the best light.

Therefore, even if the window is slit by the cold wind, Daohua can only sit here.

Daohua was watching seriously when suddenly a pair of strong arms stretched out from behind and hugged her tightly.

Smelling the familiar scent, Daohua put down the book, turned around and hugged the person: “Xiao Yeyang, you’re back.” There was undisguised joy in her eyes.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile, and rubbed his face against Daohua’s face and neck: “Miss me?”

Just as he was about to have some intimacy to relieve the lovesickness, who knows, Daohua pushed him away with a look of disgust “It’s been a long time since you shaved this beard, it hurts my face.”

Xiao Yeyang saw that there were red marks on Daohua’s face, so he reached out and rubbed her for her: “I’m in a hurry to inspect Ganzhou Wei’s The defense area, how can I have time to clean up.”

Daohua pressed his hand, sniffed at him with her nose, and then the disgust on her face became stronger, she quickly called Gu Yu and Li Xia, and asked them to prepare hot water.

“You have to wash it well.”

Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and didn’t let go: “Then you have to help me.”

Daohua gave him a sideways look angrily: “Have you met Master?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: ” The old man went out with Doctor Ge.”

Dao Hua nodded, seeing Gu Yu and Li Xia calling for hot water, she hurriedly got off the kang, “You go to the clean room first, and I’ll get you clothes.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and left Into the clean room.

Two quarters of an hour later, after taking a bath, Xiao Yeyang lay on the kang with brows relaxed, his head resting on Daohua’s lap, and Daohua was concentrating on shaving Xiao Yeyang.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s somewhat frostbitten face, Daohua was very distressed. After shaving, she took out the ointment and carefully rubbed it on him.

“I’ll make you a mask later, remember to wear it when you go out in the future.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile on his face: “Okay.”

After wiping his face, Daohua checked Xiao Yeyang’s body, and put some The bruises and abrasions were also treated with medicine.

The charcoal fire in the room was burning vigorously, there was a warm kang under his body, and the tip of his nose was filled with the fragrance of his wife. Xiao Yeyang, who was completely relaxed, slowly closed his eyes.

When Daohua finished taking the medicine, she found that Xiao Yeyang had fallen into a deep sleep.

After stepping into Xiliang for more than a month, he has been running around every day. Even though Xiao Yeyang has practiced martial arts all year round, his body is still a little bit unbearable.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang falling asleep, his brows were frowning, Daohua showed pity, and stretched out her hand to smooth him.

At dinner, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang was in a deep sleep, so she went to Gujian’s courtyard alone without calling him.

“Master, Xiao Yeyang came back this afternoon, he was not injured, he is fine, don’t worry.”

Gu Jian nodded: “He must be exhausted during this time, let him have a good rest, by the way, do more Give him some medicinal food to strengthen his body.” Daohua

smiled and said, “I will.”

Xiao Yeyang slept until noon the next day before waking up, and when he woke up, he heard Daohua asking about his birthday outside. .

“Didn’t you allocate a batch of food for porridge a few days ago? Why did it run out so quickly?”

Deshou replied with a bitter face: “For some reason, more and more refugees gathered outside the city these days. The food that can last for half a month will be gone in a few days.”

Daohua frowned: “There are too many people, no one is causing trouble, right?”

Deshou shook his head: “No, everyone is relying on the porridge to survive, dare not Make trouble at this time.”

At this time, Xiao Yeyang came out.

Daohua got up quickly and walked over: “Are you awake?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, pulled Daohua to sit down, and looked at Deshou: “What’s the matter with the refugees?”

Deshou hurriedly counted the number of refugees for nearly two days Let me talk about the dramatic increase.

Xiao Yeyang frowned: “When I first came, the number of refugees outside the city was only five or six thousand, and it rose to tens of thousands in less than a month. It seems that some people don’t want me to have a good time.”

Daohua Nian Lu was surprised: “You mean someone is driving refugees to Ganzhou City? Who, why did they do this? We just came here, and we didn’t offend anyone?”

Xiao Yeyang sneered: “We didn’t offend Who, but because of our arrival, the situation in Xiliang may be broken, and for some people, it is just in their way.”

Even though Xiliang is bitter, cold and barren, in the eyes of some people, this is their sphere of influence , can not tolerate interference from outsiders, let alone change.

Due to the lack of management of Xiliang by the imperial court, it may be their illusion that the rulers here have given birth to this land.

Daohua frowned: “Then if we can’t provide food to appease the refugees outside the city.”

Xiao Yeyang took over the words: “Once something happens to the refugees, there will definitely be someone who will give a discount to the court and use this to drive me out of the city.” Xiliang.”

Daohua listened, pondered for a moment, and looked at Deshou: “You go with Gu Yu to get another batch of food, and you must appease the refugees living outside the city, and don’t allow them to make trouble.”

Deshou glanced at Xiao Yeyang Seeing that he didn’t object, he retreated with Gu Yu.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: “There shouldn’t be much left of the supplies we brought, right?”

Daohua nodded, then asked Lixia to bring over the warehouse list, handed it to Xiao Yeyang, and let him see it by himself .

“Don’t worry too much, I’ve already written to Qin Xiaoliu, but the capital is too far away from Xiliang, and the food will probably have to wait around February to arrive.”

“Based on the current number of refugees outside the city, we can’t last until that time. But as long as we survive this period of time, we will definitely be able to supply food in the future.”

He paused for a while.

“Refugees outside the city are not our family’s business. Shouldn’t officials and merchants in the city contribute?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “Xiliang is no different than other places, and Ganzhou Wei is the poorest guard. , Even officials and merchants don’t have much surplus food at home. Asking them to take out food will be like killing them.”

When there is no commotion outside the city, they may quit.

Daohua asked again: “What about the guard? Don’t the military households usually farm the fields? There must be grain in the guard, right?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head again: “The military households will turn in the grain, but the grain production here It’s too low, Ganzhou Guard is the closest to Xiliao, and usually has to support a frontier army stationed here.”

“The reason why the previous commander died was because he was in arrears with the frontier army’s food and wages, and was ordered by the frontier army general Called over, but was accidentally shot by Xiliao people.” Daohua was

a little tongue-tied: “Didn’t you say that the previous commander was killed while patrolling?”

Xiao Yeyang sneered: “That was just for It sounds good to say it. Apart from the geography and climate and the people of Xiliao, the people in Xiliang are living so hard. To a large extent, it is also related to the incompetence of the officials here.”

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: “Now If you took over the Ganzhou Guard, doesn’t that mean you will also support the frontier troops stationed here?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded with a headache.

This time, if the frontier army hadn’t been concerned about his identity, and he led people to wipe out a group of Xiliao cavalry, the frontier army might have come to Ganzhou city to make troubles.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang’s brows were knotted again, Daohua sat down and smoothed him out: “It’s not a big deal, I might not be able to help if I’m missing something else, but when it comes to food, how could I, a big food household, be short of food?” Leave the food to me.”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile: “Didn’t you say that the food won’t arrive until February?”

Daohua smiled and said: “The capital is far away, there is no way, but we can find a place closer to borrow grain, or buy grain.”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t want to hit Daohua, so he didn’t tell her that in Xiliang, she might not buy it at all. less than food.

Almost all of Xiliang’s nine guards were commanders, and the person who most wanted him to leave Xiliang was probably commander Wei Hongcai.

However, human beings have weaknesses, and it’s not impossible for several commanders to bribe them.

Thinking of the news from Jin Lingwei, Xiao Yeyang decided to go out tomorrow to meet the most unpopular Commander of Lan Wuwei.

As long as you subdue him, you should be able to get a batch of food.
