Dark clouds covered the sky, and the surroundings quickly darkened.
Xu Wu came over and said, "Madam, there is a village ten miles away. Let's spend the night in the village tonight!" Every time he hurried, Xu Wu would send someone to investigate the road conditions ahead. Then decide where to have lunch and where to rest.
Yuxi took the two children and it was impossible to let the children eat cold food, and Yuxi was not good to eat cold food, so he had to open fire at noon. Except for the first two days, Xu Wu will make people get ready for what happened before. When Yuxi arrives there, he can basically eat it straight away. It is also convenient to follow a lot of people and have thirty good horses.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Just arrange it." Xu Wu was very considerate, and Yuxi didn't let Yuxi worry too much on the road.
The carriage is very slow, especially when it comes to rugged places. Even if Xu Wu made proper arrangements, when the weather was good, he could only walk a hundred miles a day, and if it rained heavily, he would rest on the spot. I also brought a tent, otherwise it's not enough.
After a quarter of an hour, it started to rain. Although it was a light rain, Yuxi closed the window, but Zaozao climbed up to look outside.
Yuxi held Zaozao in her arms and said with a smile, "This girl is really a monkey, and she is never at peace." One moves well and the other is too quiet, and it is also a headache.
It's raining, the sky is dark, and the road is not easy to walk. It took only half an hour to get to the outside of the village. The roads in the village are all trails, and carriages cannot enter. The carriage was placed on the side of the road, and Yuxi got out of the carriage holding the tightly wrapped Liuer.
Hongdou held an umbrella for Yuxi, and Hongqi held Yuxi by the side. As for the jujube, Xu Wu, who was wearing a fungus, held it in his arms. Of course, Xu Wu still held an umbrella on his head.
Zhuangzi also only had two large blue brick houses, one of which was still upright. At this meeting, all have been borrowed.
When Yuxi arrived, Grandma and Mother Bai had been busy for most of the day. To say who is the hardest part of the group, it must be Bai's mother and grandmother. Mother Bai is responsible for the three meals a day for Yuxi and her children, and the grandma is to make nutritious and delicious food for Liuer and Jujube. The two children haven't had any problems so far, and the grandmother takes great credit.
After dinner, it was already half past Xu Shi. Today's road is relatively smooth, not great, and Yuxi slept on the carriage. At this time, Yuxi was full of energy, and said to Xu Wu: "Call Lizheng over, I want to ask him something."
Xu Wu was a little surprised, and said, "Madam, you can tell me if you have anything to do." After half a month of driving, Liu'er has been doing well without any headaches, which made him very relieved.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I want to ask about the current life of Xia Lizheng in spring farming and the villagers." She has stayed in Zhuangzi, and she knows roughly what days the farmers have lived. It's just that she wants to know more in detail, so that there is a bottom.
Li Zheng came over soon, an old man with white hair and beard. As soon as he walked in and saw Yuxi, Lizheng knelt on the ground, knocked Yuxi three heads, and said, "Madam Jixiang Ankang." His body was still shaking when he said this.
When Xu Wu borrowed this room, he explained their identities. Because of this, Lizheng would give such a gift when he saw Yuxi.
Yuxi motioned to General Xu to help him up, and said with a gentle tone, "Old man, I have taken advantage of your house, but I haven't thanked you yet!"
Lizheng didn't dare to look up and said, "Dare not, dare not, it is our blessing that Madam can borrow our house." The general's wife lives in his house, saying that it is an honor to go out.
Yuxi laughed, and did not say politely to Li Zheng, and asked directly about the situation in the village: "How many households are there in Zhuangzi today?"
Lizheng said, "We used to have 86 households in Zhuangzi. These years have had a difficult life and walked to death. Now there are only 41 households with 229 people left." Forty-one families are already too many.
Yuxi asked about the situation of spring ploughing and wasteland reclamation.
Lizheng is also an out-of-the-ordinary farmer, but he only recommends him when he is old and fair. Li Zheng wiped his eyes and said, "The most in the village opened 12 acres of wasteland, and the least opened 3 acres of land. When sowing, I also went to the government to collect good seeds and cultivated them. This year, don't worry about it anymore. I’m hungry.” The government not only encourages land reclamation, but also reduces taxes and exempts taxes. As long as you are not lazy, you can eat a full meal.
Hearing this, Yuxi nodded. Looking at the prefects of Linzhou, it is still quite promising. He continued to ask a lot of questions, and Rizheng answered them one by one.
After Li Zheng left, Yuxi's face was very solemn. There are 229 people in the village, only more than 50 young and middle-aged people, and the rest are old and weak women and children. That is to say, the strong labor force only accounts for more than one-fifth. This number is shocking.
Xu Wu looked at Yuxi's appearance and said, "Madam, it's March Day. You can eat everywhere. As long as you are not lazy, you will never die. When the food comes up in the summer, they don't have to worry about being hungry anymore. ."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "The output of food is too low. If there is a natural disaster, the people still can't fill their stomachs." At this meeting, Yuxi naturally remembered the potato that Mr. Chen gave her. It's just that Tian Yang hasn't come back after going to Fujian for a long time. It is estimated that something went wrong on the road. When he arrived at Gaocheng, Tian Yang sent other people to Fujian to have a look before he returned.
Xu Wu said, "Madam, I have to hurry tomorrow, Madam, rest early!" Natural disasters and man-made disasters are unavoidable. The wife was worried, but it was useless.
Yuxi nodded and said, "When we arrive in Linzhou City, we will stay in Linzhou City for two days!" It is only a hundred miles away from Linzhou City, and we will be there the day after tomorrow.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." He obeyed all Yuxi's arrangements. Let Yuxi use it, which is very convenient.
Mother Quan looked at Yuxi and was reading with a thick book, while she was reading and writing. Mother Quan sighed, then handed the warm water in her hand to Yuxi and said, "Don't look, go to bed early!" It is also inconvenient in the car, otherwise it is estimated that you will put your books in the car. Cough, I don't know how to teach a bookworm out.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, mother, take the baby to sleep first!" After finishing speaking, he drank the water and swallowed the residue in the water. It was also because I drank the meat ganoderma every day. After half a month of walking, Yuxi's complexion was better than when he came out.
Mother Quan said helplessly: "What did you say you did so desperately so far?" Until now, Yuxi only needs to hold Yun Qing's heart and take care of the two children and take care of the housework. It's completely unnecessary to make yourself so hard.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Nowadays, it takes a lot of thoughts to manage internal and external troubles." If you understand a lot, you won't be fooled by others at will.
Mother Quan said: "Yuxi, women can't be too strong, let the general handle the outside affairs!" In terms of strategy, Yuxi threw away Yunqing a few blocks. However, the grandmother did not approve of Yuxi's involvement in the outside affairs. A woman is too strong, strong enough to overshadow a man, and it is easy for a couple to be strangers. Because men don't like his wife to be better than him.
Yuxi smiled and shook her head and said, "The husband and wife are of one heart, and it is profitable." Yun Qing is not good at government affairs, and she can make up for this shortcoming. Yuxi believes that as long as their husband and wife work together, they will be able to manage the Northwest. When the situation in the northwest stabilized, it was time to settle accounts with the Song family and the Queen Mother.
Mother Quan's heart trembled, and she said with a stern face: "Yuxi, men don't like women's involvement in outside affairs. If you insist on doing this, if the husband and wife have a dispute in the future, they will definitely be taken advantage of by others." The mother thinks that the most important thing for a woman is her husband's family. If another woman takes advantage of it, she would just pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
Yuxi laughed, and said, "Herui took the initiative to raise this matter." It was completely different from asking for it.
Sister Quan asked reflexively: "Really? Is Yun Qing proactively letting you intervene in outside affairs?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Herui was originally impatient with things outside, so he let me deal with it when I saw I was good at it. That's good, it saves me from being bored in the future." If Yuxi knows that Yun Qing is afraid that she will be too idle. Random thinking, so as to deal with her outside affairs, I don't know how she will feel.
Mother Quan frowned and said, "If you are dealing with external affairs, there will be a lot of gossip." In the eyes of men, women only need to manage their internal affairs, and they can take care of their children. Yuxi is now intervening in external affairs, this is not a normal business, would Yun Qing's subordinates have no objection. Talking too much, the parties will always be affected.
Yuxi was still very confident in Yun Qing, and said, "He Rui is not a person who can make him change his mind in a few words." Yun Qing is a very principled person, and he will listen if he is concerned. He would not listen to complaints if it was to instigate divorce.
The grandmother was silent, and said, "In any case, the husband and the children are the most important, rights, these things are secondary. This priority, you must be clear."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I have a sense of measure." Both of their husbands and wives hope to manage the Northwest well. With this major premise, there will be no conflicts. If there is no conflict, it will not affect the feelings of the couple.
The grandmother sighed with emotion, and said: "When the emperor gave the marriage, I was extremely worried. Now, it is also rumored to be misunderstood." There are also many men who dote on their wives, but it is the first time to listen to them.
After hearing this, Yuxi couldn't hide her smile: "Yes! It's my blessing to be able to marry Herui." I think she wanted to escape the marriage at the beginning! Fortunately, she didn't escape, or she would regret it for a lifetime.
Mother Quan stopped urging Yuxi, and said, "Then you will read the book again, and I will take care of Liuer and Zaozao." Mother Quan also gave up on the two children.
Yuxi didn't read the book anymore, but fell into deep thought. They now only occupy the two states and counties of the Xihai Sea. If they want to occupy all of them, they will have to fight again. Fighting means this dead person. Today, the situation in the Northwest still requires as few dead people as possible: "What method should be used to achieve the goal with the least cost." This is really a brainstorming matter.
Yuxi hasn't slept yet when Haishi is halfway through.
Mother Quan was a little helpless, and came over and said, "Go to sleep, I have to hurry tomorrow!" I don't know why Yuxi is so interested in these things.
The cicadas cried out constantly, but Yuxi slept soundly. R8
