There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 873

[Chapter 873 Chapter 873]

, the frontier army left with the grain, which surprised Xia Jianren: “Even if you brought a lot of supplies when you came, the Xiao mansion should have consumed almost all of them with such extravagant use. The

staff next to him laughed and said, “It’s good if you give it. After all, the frontier army is a regular army. There are disciplines there. They won’t make trouble easily until they reach the end. But the refugees are different. If there is no food, Everyone will work hard.”

Xia Jianren smiled: “It’s true, the frontier army took the food, leaving less for the refugees, let’s just wait and see how long the Xiao Mansion can last? ”

He said, pondered for a while, and said to the staff: “During this time, you should keep an eye on the porridge shed. Once you run out of food, go to contact those rogues that Mr. Wei found.” The

staff nodded with a smile: “Don’t worry, my lord. The humble job must be done well.”

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.

Celebrating the New Year in the frontier is naturally not as lively as in the capital, but the rice flowers that should be prepared are all prepared, and the mansion is decorated in a joyous manner.

Daohua thought that all the servants in the mansion had left their hometowns and followed them to this remote and bitter cold place, so early in the morning, she issued a three-month extra monthly report to everyone.

There were only her, Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian in the mansion. Although it was not lively, the three of them sat around together, eating hot meals, and chatting about what they had seen and heard about Xiliang, and the atmosphere was extremely warm and happy.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang paid homage to Gu Jian for the New Year. They saw the roast whole lamb being cooked in the kitchen. After thinking about it, they called Lai Defu and asked him to send two sheep to the porridge shed.

There are quite a few herdsmen in Xiliang, and as long as they have money, they can easily buy beef and mutton.

At the same time, on the city wall, Xia Jianren’s aides did not accompany their family members and came out in the wind and snow to stare at the refugees.

When I saw that there was minced meat in the refugee porridge, my heart felt cold.

“Is the royal family so rich and powerful?”

Not enough porridge, but also meat?

“How many supplies did the Xiao residence bring?”

According to the current situation, it may be a long way before Mr. Tongzhi wants to drive Mr. Xiao away.

Compared with the heaviness of the staff, the refugees were carrying the thick porridge with oily meat, but their eyes were a little red.

Many of them came to Ganzhou City with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. They really couldn’t survive at home. If there is no food here, they can only find a place where there is no one. Buried in the ice and snow.

Never thought that they actually survived.

Some old people and children suffered from the wind and cold, and after drinking the medicine, they also survived tenaciously.

Today is the first day of the new year, and let them drink meat porridge!

“Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are really good people!”

Some old people wiped their tears with their hands while drinking porridge. Many of them would find it difficult to eat meat even if they were at home for the New Year.

The hooligans who were hiding among the refugees and were about to take the opportunity to incite trouble saw this scene, and when they thought about what they were going to do, they felt a faint sense of guilt in their hearts.

“Why don’t we leave?”

They were rogues, but their conscience hadn’t been completely lost. Let them kill a person who helped the people, and it was really difficult for them to get over the hurdle in their hearts.

Poppi looked at the porridge shed, then at the soup being boiled next to him, gritted his teeth and said, “As long as the new Mr. Xiao can make these people survive the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will leave.

” How do you explain, sir?”

“Xiliang is so big, we will be fine if we don’t go back to Liang.”

“Isn’t the food problem settled? Why are you still frowning?”

Daohua returned to her room with herbal food, and Seeing Xiao Yeyang sitting in front of the table, he didn’t know what he was thinking, put down the medicinal food, walked over and naturally put his arm around his neck and sat on his lap.

Xiao Yeyang held Daohua’s hand: “I’m thinking about military supplies.”

“Although the imperial court doesn’t pay much attention to Xiliang   , this is the border after all. Every year, a sum of money will be allocated for training and replacing weapons and equipment.” The army is not only pale and muscular, but also the weapons in his hands are tattered, and I don’t know where the money from the court has been used!”

“There are not many strong and powerful military households in the guard.” He

said, humming One sound.   ”And I also found that the frontier

troops and guards in some places have a lot of passive defense.”

“They are like this, how can they fight?”

Otherwise, if the Xiliao people come calling, this side can’t resist at all.” Daohua didn’t

want him to frown: “Don’t be too anxious, the situation here in Xiliang is not a day’s work, we just arrived in Xiliang, things need to be done Come one by one.”

Xiao Yeyang: “I also know this, but I’m worried that Xiliao won’t give us time, the cavalry team I met last time were all brave and good

at fighting.” rice flower.

“I have handed over the booklet to Uncle Huang. Please send the military supplies allocated to Ganzhou Wei directly here. If you don’t pass by, you will command the envoy.”

“The iron mine we discovered before is from Rui Uncle Wang is in charge, and I bought a batch of military equipment with military supply money.”

“After the fifth day of the lunar new year, I will go to the guard to pick out a group of military households and start training soldiers. I have to rely on you to handle the affairs of the residence. Take care of it.”

Daohua: “Don’t worry, I will take care of everyone in the house.”

Shiqukou, the mountain pass where Daohua and his party were robbed by the Wang clan.

Wang Qi stood on the mountain, looking at the grain team passing by below.

Standing next to him, Wang Wu recognized at a glance that the people escorting the food team were the guards who had beaten him and his tribe so helplessly.

“Sir, it’s them. They are the guards of the new Mr. Xiao.”

“Hey, where did they get so much food? It would be great if they could leave us a few more carts.”

Voice As soon as he landed, Wang Wu was hit hard on the head by Wang Qi.

“You can’t be too greedy.”

Wang Qi looked at Wang Wu seriously, until Wang Wu shrank his neck, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of Liangdu: “With greed, you will fall into the abyss.”

Wang Qi quickly He retracted his gaze and looked at the food team again.

The food team moved forward quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Wang Qi heard about the news that Ganzhou City was giving out porridge. At the same time, he also saw the fact that refugees flocked to Ganzhou City, and was very worried about Mr. Xiao for a while.

But after seeing the food team passing by just now, I felt relieved.

With such a generous amount of relief for refugees, that Master Xiao was much better than he imagined.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, watching the horse-drawn carts carrying grain enter Ganzhou City, the refugees outside the city gate were extremely quiet, and their previously numb and empty faces began to become more alive little by little.

On this day, Xia Jianren happened to be on the city wall. When he saw the long grain transportation team, his jaw dropped in shock, and he quickly called his staff: “Quickly go and find out where the Xiao Mansion buys grain from?”

After the staff left, Xia Jianren He couldn’t help but sighed, the things Mr. Wei explained were not easy to handle.

In the guardhouse, Fan Tong couldn’t help swallowing when he heard the news about the food team: “Master Wei is right, the son of the prince’s mansion may really have gold and silver.

” Also relieved.

If the Xiao Mansion stopped giving porridge, the refugees outside the city would probably make trouble, and if there was trouble, he would have to take the guards to suppress it.

For the Xiliao people, he has no problem at all, but he really can’t do anything to the desperate people outside the city.

All command envoys.

Wei Hongcai didn’t wait for the news of the riots by the refugees in Ganzhou City, but instead heard that Xiao Yeyang brought another batch of food, he felt depressed and became more apprehensive at the same time.

The master at the side looked at Wei Hongcai’s face, thought for a while, and suggested: “My lord, why don’t we just leave Ganzhou Wei alone.

” As a matter of fact, if we intervene too much, it will stimulate his fighting spirit, so it is better to let him torment.”

“The climate in Xiliao is bitter and cold, cold in winter, hot in summer, the land is barren, and the supplies are even more scarce. When he can’t stand it, maybe , he will leave on his own.”

Wei Hongcai frowned: “That’s the only way to go.”

Xiao Yeyang’s identity is there, and he also received news that the emperor’s uncle and the newly named Fu Guogong also came Now, he can do some small tricks in private to make Xiao Yeyang retreat, but he can’t confront him head-on.
