Chapter 239 Chaos

Yuxi told Mama Bai to cook some yams for a taste. It was the first time for Bai Mama to see yams. Looking at these yams, she asked curiously, "Ma'am, what is this?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. You cook a few first and try." Since Wan Shi and Chen Mian have already eaten, there will definitely be no problem.

At noon, Yun Qing went to the dining table and sat down, saw some unseen fruits in one of the white porcelain plates, and asked, "Where did you get these fruits, have you never seen them before?" Yuxi likes to eat fruit very much recently, and Yun Qing thinks that this is the fruit he bought from somewhere.

Yuxi has tried it with silver needles, and none of these potatoes are poisonous. Hearing Yun Qing's words, he immediately said with a smile, "Taste it and see if it tastes good?"

Yun Qing smiled and said, "What? So mysterious?" After speaking, he took a potato, peeled it, and took a bite.

After taking a bite of Yunqing's brows, he frowned, but Yunqing is not a wasteful person, even though it was not tasty, he still ate the whole potato. After eating, I asked: "What is this?"

Yuxi also took a potato from the plate with a smile, took a bite and said, "This is called potato, and it was a gift from Chen Mian's sister-in-law. Mrs. Chen said that this thing was introduced from outsiders, and it is a new thing." As for the fact that this thing has already been planted in Fujian, there is no need to tell Yun Qing about it. Said Yunqing would not be interested.

Yun Qing said, "Send this thing as a gift in return?"

Yu Xi smiled, and didn't answer Yun Qing's words, but lowered her head and slowly finished the yams on hand. After eating, Yuxi's feeling is completely different from Yunqing's: "I only need to eat three of these things to be full." This thing can satisfy my hunger, and food to satisfy my hunger is the most lacking thing in the Northwest, but it is not enough. Know what the growing conditions of this potato are.

Yun Qing didn't understand the meaning of Yu Xi's words at all, and said, "Don't eat it, it doesn't taste very good." After eating the first one, he didn't want to eat the second one.

Yuxi smiled and said: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat it!"

In the afternoon, Yuxi called Tian Yang and showed Tian Yang the yams. Then he said: "Get ready and go to Mr. Chen's hometown in Fujian in two days. When you get there, first understand the growth conditions of this potato and see if it can be grown in the northwest. Also, how much does this thing produce per mu? If it meets the requirements of the northwest The planting conditions are high, and the yield is high, so I will buy more and bring them back, and I will invite some people who are good at growing this thing to come back.”

Tian Yang looked at more than a dozen yams and said, "Ma'am, how long can this be kept? Will it be broken on the road?"

Yu Xi didn't know how long this yam could last, and said, "This thing is as common as wheat in the northwest in Mr. Chen's hometown, and it's easy to find."

Hearing this, Tian Yang said: "Madam, just to be safe, I still want to draw this thing!" This is just in case, no matter what, it is always beneficial and harmless to be more prepared.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Success, I will draw a picture when the time comes. In addition to this yam, you can also bring back some high-quality and cheap seafood." Fujian is close to the sea, and there are still a lot of seafood.

In the evening, Mr. Chen returned to the place where he lived. As soon as he got home, Mr. Chen asked Wan, "Have you sent the potatoes to Madam?"

Wan Shi nodded and said: "It has already been delivered. Husband, why do you have to give this potato to Madam?" She couldn't figure it out.

Mr. Chen said: "This thing is used well, and it can play a huge role." Mr. Chen also ate this potato and found that this thing can satisfy his hunger. And with his sister-in-law's stingy temperament, being able to give this potato in return is enough to prove that this thing is worthless. Thinking deeply, this thing is worthless, so the output must not be low. If things that can satisfy hunger and have a high yield can be promoted in the northwest, the ration problem in the northwest can be alleviated. Once the food problem is resolved, the Northwest Army no longer needs to be restrained by the court. As Yunqing's confidant, although Yunqing did not say many things,

But Mr. Chen could still feel that Yunqing would not be content to stay in Yucheng. In this regard, Mr. Chen has no objection. In troubled times, ambition is not a bad thing as long as one has the ability.

Wan Shi looked puzzled.

Mr. Chen didn't explain it to Wan Shi, and he couldn't explain these things clearly, and there was no need to explain them. Mr. Chen said: "Madam will know what it does." If it was given to the general, he would definitely not think too much about it. But Madam is different. Seeing the yams they sent and listening to his wife's words, she will definitely want to go with him. As for why Mr. Chen didn't tell Yuxi directly, it was because he was not sure enough about it. Moreover, he didn't know much about the specific situation of the potato, so he didn't take the initiative to raise it, and could only remind Yuxi with this obscure method. This is also a common problem among scholars, who are unwilling to speak out until they are not sure enough.

Two days later, Mr. Chen heard that Tian Yang left Yucheng and went to other places. As for where he went, Mr. Chen did not find out. But thinking about the potato delivery two days ago, Mr. Chen guessed that Tian Yang should have gone to Fujian.

Mr. Chen said to himself: "I hope everything goes well." If it is as he speculates, this potato can be popularized in the Northwest, it will really be a great thing for the benefit of the people.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yunqing spent more than half of his time in the military camp. At this time, he has to prepare for the battle in autumn, and also prepare for the possible rebellion.

It was also at this time that the news that Uncle Song Guo was safe and sound also came back to the capital. This was the best news for the emperor: "It's good that uncle is fine."

King Jing said: "Let uncle come back sooner!" During this period of time, he was under a lot of pressure and felt that his hair was going to be gray.

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't worry." The purpose of my uncle's trip to Liaodong this time was to catch Yan Wushuang. If Yan Wushuang is not caught, uncle will not come back for the time being.

King Jing is not stupid, as soon as he listened to the words, he knew that Uncle Song Guo had a special errand to go to Liaodong. It's just that he didn't have such a strong competitive spirit to ask what the errand was. King Jing told the emperor one thing: "Your Majesty, Ji Xuan said in the report that he had wiped out more than 4,000 bandits. According to my investigation, those 4,000 people were not bandits at all, but ordinary people." Ji Xuan This is killing the good and taking the credit, and the impact is extremely bad. Once this news spreads, there may be riots in the Northwest.

The emperor slapped the table and asked, "Is this true?"

King Jing didn't dare to guarantee it, he just said: "It's better to send imperial envoys to investigate this matter." He had the news, but Ji Xuan is a great official in the frontier, and he can't be convicted just by a single news. In order to rule Ji Xuan's guilt, the evidence must be convincing.

Hearing that the imperial envoys were dispatched to conduct a thorough investigation, the emperor was unusually silent, and after a while he said: "Let's put this matter aside for now." The most urgent task is to destroy Yan Wushuang. The matter of the northwest can be put aside for now. After the matter in Liaodong is resolved, the matter in the northwest will be resolved. Otherwise, if Ji Xuan is moved now, it is tantamount to giving Yu Xiang a chance to expand his power.

Han Jianming also received a letter from Yuxi at this time, knowing that Ji Xuan killed civilians and acted as bandits to claim credit. Han Jianming couldn't help shaking his head, he dared to do anything, so he wasn't afraid that it would cause a catastrophe.

His eyes fell on the letter again, and he said to himself: "A catastrophe is coming soon." Ji Xuan killed civilians indiscriminately to act as bandits to claim merit, this was covered up tightly, otherwise he wouldn't No news at all. The fact that Yu Xi can get the news proves that she is paying attention to the movements of Northwest and Ji Xuan. So far, Han Jianming is completely sure of the previous speculation. Yuxi's goal is the entire Northwest.

Mr. Zhao didn't quite understand, and asked, "My lord, what disaster is coming."

Han Jianming didn't hide the truth from Mr. Zhao, and told what Yuxi wrote in his letter: "Once this matter gets out, it will definitely cause a big disaster." How could Yuxi give up such a good opportunity, she would definitely The news was spread.

Mr. Zhao said: "Although it hasn't spread now, paper can't contain the fire. It won't take long for this matter to spread." Chen Yu, the prince of Taining Marquis, is Ji Xuan's number one enemy. If he knows about it, Definitely rendering this thing out.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "Look!"

Mr. Zhao said: "My lord, Liaodong is very peaceful recently!" Uncle Song Guo came back to life, this kind of thing is already surprising. Originally thought that Uncle Song Guo would start a killing spree, but in the end there was no sound at all.

Han Jianming said: "Yan Wushuang, it's not that easy to kill." Yan Wushuang has been operating in Liaodong for more than ten years in the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and it is not something that Uncle Song Guo can do. Han Jianming hoped that Uncle Song Guo and Yan Wushuang would both lose, and only in this way would the water be muddier.

"I always feel like this is the calm before the storm," Mr. Zhao said. Next, there will be bigger storms.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "The storm is the storm!" The world is already in chaos, and now it is only a superficial peace.

As Han Jianming and Mr. Zhao expected, the story of Ji Xuan killing civilians and pretending to be bandits to claim credit was spread by those who wanted to, and soon spread to every place in the Northwest.

Ji Xuan was admiring the dancer's graceful dance, enjoying the delicious food and wine. His subordinates quickly ran in and shouted at Ji Xuan: "Master Governor, it's bad, someone in Nanzhou has rebelled." Even if you want to hide this matter, you can't hide it, so it's okay to shout out loud.

The sound was so loud that it shocked everyone present. Ji Xuan also had no time to drink any more, and asked, "What's going on?"

The visitor said with a sad face: "Someone spread rumors outside, saying that the four thousand bandits who were beheaded in Nanzhou before were not real bandits, but killed more than four thousand ordinary people pretending to be bandits. After this rumor came out, some people responded It's gone." As for whether this is true, the visitor also knows in his mind. But it's one thing to know about it, and quite another to say it.

Ji Xuan threw down the wine glass and immediately dispatched 30,000 troops to quell the rebellion. In Ji Xuan's mind, these rebels were mobs, and a 30,000 army was enough to kill them instantly.

ps: The plan can't keep up with the changes, sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time. R8
