Chapter 362 Open up Wasteland

Chapter 362 Opening Up Wasteland

Xu Wu asked Yu Xi: "Ma'am, what are you going to do with Dong Er?" Dong Er admitted that he accidentally killed his younger brother Dong San, and signed a pledge, but Yu Xi did not give any punishment. This made Xu Wu a little puzzled.

Yuxi said: "Many places in the northwest are deserted. Instead of executing Dong Er and other criminals or imprisoning them in prison, it is better to let them open up wasteland!" Opening up wasteland to grow food can also increase food and taxes.

Xu Wu shook his head and said: "Madam, this idea is good, but it is not easy to implement. A rich man like Dong Er, how can he bear the pain of opening up wasteland." It is estimated that he will fall down within two days.

With a faint smile on Yuxi's face, she said: "It's really reached that point, in order to survive, I can bear any hardship." She herself is the best example. At the beginning, she was in trouble, but in order to survive, Keke walked from Zhuangzi for more than half a month, and reached the capital by begging and eating wild vegetables. It's not because there is a desire to survive.

Seeing Yuxi's expression, Xu Wu couldn't help but have an illusion, as if his wife had also experienced such suffering. Xu Wu hurriedly threw away these messy thoughts, and said, "Madam, I just got the news that the general left Yucheng three days ago. According to the general's speed, he can catch up with us in two days."

Yu Xi nodded, and picked up a few pieces of paper that were placed on the table next to her and handed them to Xu Wu, saying, "You send someone to give this to Xu Zhen. Tell Xu Zhen that the affairs of Linzhou City will be recorded according to the requirements here. .” The things recorded in the booklet are too simple. And the people who recorded these things were a little free-spirited, writing whatever came to mind.

Xu Wu took it over and said, "Okay, I'll send it to Xu Zhen later." Madam's efficiency is beyond words. However, Xu Wu couldn't help but say one more sentence: "Madam, your body is important, don't get tired." Once Madam fell ill, they would not have a good life.

Yuxi smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. By the way, take Zhou Wei and the others away this time!" What was promised will naturally be done.

With such a great benefit, if these children are not resettled, their conscience will not go away. Xu Wu said: "I'll make arrangements for [UUReading Book 00ks]. Ma'am, do you want to give these children a sum of money?"

Yu Xi frowned, and said, "You can't give it to too many people. If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, too much money will only cause trouble."

Xu Wu knew it well.

Knowing that Yuxi was gone, Yao Guangzhang stared at the official document that Xu Wu sent him. He has been reading the official document for a whole day since yesterday, but he still hasn't seen any flowers from it.

Yao Guangzhang's master said: "My lord, Mrs. Yun said that she will dismiss Guo Tongjuan, my lord must not go against Mrs. Yun's wishes."

Looking at the official document, Yao Guangzhang said: "The Han family dared to dismiss officials. This matter must not be tolerated."

The master was taken aback, and said: "General Yun dared to rebel against Mrs. Yun. You have to fight against Mrs. Yun, my lord, you must be the one who suffers! At that time, the most important thing is to lose your life and implicate the family, or at least It’s also dismissal.”

Yao Guangzhang was so angry that his beard cocked up: "No, definitely not. I don't want to risk my old life, and I can't let the Han family do anything wrong." Yao Guangzhang was educated in Confucianism, how could he stand women involved in politics.

No matter how much the master tried to persuade him, he could only watch Yao Guangzhang write an excerpt. After finishing writing, send it to Pickaxe City immediately.

On this day, Yuxi and his party did not find a village to settle down. It was getting dark, and he couldn't continue his journey, so he had to sleep outside directly. Zao Zao was a bold one, so Xu Wu carried him out. Because Liu'er was too young, Yuxi was afraid of being frightened by taking her out,

So I stayed in the carriage. But candles were lit on the carriage, which was brighter than outside!

Tired after a day's driving, after dinner and washing, everyone went to sleep. Yuxi and Mama Lan stayed in the carriage to take care of the two children, while Aunt Quan waited for the carriage behind to sleep.

"Howling..." In her sleep, Yu Xi heard the wolf howling. Immediately afterwards, there were the cries of Zao Zao and Liu Er. Zao Zao was woken up by fright, while Liu Er was woken up by the noise.

Zao Zao got into Yu Xi's arms and cried out while crying: "Mother, mother..." That voice was too penetrating. Not to mention Zaozao, a two-year-old child, even Yuxi felt frightened.

Yu Xi hugged Zao Zao and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, mother is here, Zao Zao is not afraid!" As for Liu'er, she is too young to know what it means to be afraid.

After coaxing for a long time, under Yuxi's lullaby, the two children fell asleep again.

Mother Lan got out of the carriage, and came back after a while. Back on the carriage, Mother Lan first put two wrapped red cloths on the heads of Zaozao and Liuer respectively, and then put them on the ears of Zaozao and Liuer respectively, muttering.

After finishing all this, Mother Lan said in a low voice: "Madam, I did this to help the elder girl and the second girl to rest in peace." superior.

Yu Xi hurriedly said: "Mom, do you need me to do anything?" Yu Xigang was also very worried, the child could easily get sick when frightened.

Mother Lan shook her head and said, "Ma'am, you don't need to do anything else, as long as you stay with the eldest girl and the second girl."

Yuxi didn't sleep well this night, so she was worried about what happened to the two children. Fortunately, the child did not wake up until the morning. Yu Xi greeted her, and said: "I'll have to catch up on sleep in the carriage later." She didn't sleep at night, and she didn't have energy during the day.

This day's breakfast is also very simple, just red date porridge with two dried vegetables. Outside, it would be nice to be able to eat a bowl of hot jujube porridge, so there was no choice. Of course, Zao Zao still has a bowl of egg custard to eat in the morning.

After eating, Yuxi did not return to the carriage immediately, but followed the carriage for about a quarter of an hour before getting into the carriage.

Sister Quan said: "Ma'am, you can sleep for a while!" It must be said that Yuxi was able to sleep on the bumpy carriage. Mammy Quan couldn't sleep on the carriage, even if the carriage was padded with thick things.

Feeling a pair of big hands touching her face, Yuxi opened her eyes in fright. Looking at Yunqing lying beside her, Yuxi reached out and pinched Yunqing's face. While pinching, he said, "Why is this dream so real?"

Yun Qing seldom saw Yu Xi in a daze, so he grabbed Yu Xi's hand and leaned over to kiss her, and said with a smile, "Isn't this more real?"

Feeling the stickiness on her face, Yuxi sat up in shock and said, "Yunqing, it's really you! When did you arrive?" She just thought she was dying in a dream!

Yun Qing also sat up, and said, "We've arrived for a while. Seeing that you're sleeping soundly, I won't bother you." He just stayed with Zao Zao for quite a while!

Yu Xichao turned towards Yun Qing and said with a reproachful face: "You are really, you don't know how to call me when you arrive."

Yun Qing hugged Yu Xi in his arms and said: "Just now Xu Wu told me that the child was scared last night, so you kept watch all night." Under such circumstances, how could he have the heart to wake Yu Xi up.

Yuxi didn't think there was anything wrong: "It's also fortunate that Mama Lan is here, otherwise I would really worry that these two children will get sick from fright!" Mama Lan's presence really put her at ease.

Yun Qing hummed and said, "Don't sleep in the wild in the future. Children are easily frightened outside." He would rather slow down than let the children suffer any harm.

Yu Xi said: "There won't be a next time." Yu Xi never thought about sleeping outside at all, this time sleeping in the wild is because Xu Wu made a mistake.

To prevent Yunqing from continuing to ask why he spent the night outside, Yuxi asked: "Is everything settled in Yucheng? Who do you let guard the city?" Yunqing thinks that the best general to defend the city is naturally Feng Dajun is here, and he is going to let Feng Dajun return to Yucheng after he has mastered Pickaxe City. But Yuxi did not agree. Yuxi felt that placing Feng Dajun in Yucheng was an overkill.

Yun Qing said: "Let Chu Shaoguang and Cui Mo defend the city together. By the way, Han Jianye told me that he would stay in Yucheng, and I have already promised him."

Yuxi knew Han Jianye's plan: "How is the second brother's injury?" Hearing that Han Jianye's injury was fine, Yuxi said with a bitter face: "He Rui, the news that the second brother is not dead will reach the capital soon. I'm very worried that the emperor will use this to make trouble." In fact, even if Han Jianye was not injured, the news that he was not dead would spread to the capital soon.

Yun Qing put his arms around Yu Xi's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, there is a big brother here! Mother-in-law and the others will be fine."

Yuxi also knows that she is beyond her reach in the affairs of the capital. Yuxi thought for a while, and said something about Linzhou City: "I can't find a better candidate for a while, otherwise, Yao Guangzhang, the magistrate, will be fine."

Yun Qing said: "Since Yao Guangzhang is not suitable, let's replace him. Let Tan Tuo be the successor!" Tan Tuo is the governor of Gansu, and it is most appropriate to leave this matter to him.

Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'm still worried that you will say I'm messing around!"

Yun Qing said helplessly: "I always like to think nonsense. Think about it, I have never said a word about what you have done in the past few years." He supports everything Yu Xi does.

Yuxi put her arm around Yunqing's waist, and leaned into his arms: "Yunqing, thank you!" It can be said that Yunqing is the most generous man Yuxi has ever met.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Say stupid things again."

Xu Wu shouted from outside; "General, ma'am, we will be at the place for lunch soon." Having been together for so long, Xu Wu is very clear about some of Yuxi's habits. For example, like now, Yuxi sleeps in the carriage, and after waking up, she must fetch water into it, and she will come out after washing her face.

Yuxi said in a low voice: "Let's stay today, and go to Pick City tomorrow!" It doesn't matter if she is missing in the northwest, but Yunqing cannot be missing. So many things are waiting for Yunqing to handle them!

Yun Qing nodded and said, "Well, we'll leave tomorrow morning." (To be continued)
