Chapter 913 Yànzhou Raising Food

After parting with Mr. Liu, Liu Yunxiang did not dare to delay too much and continued to go north. She had ordered the horse gang under Lingyun to send the food raised along the road to Lingnan.

This is not the military pay given by the court, and she can only transport it to her own people in her own name.

After crossing the Yellow River that day, an official waited at the ferry.

Feng Zheng first recognized the official, "Old Wang, why are you here?"

The official was about fifty years old and not tall. Because there were too many people getting off the boat, he was bustling with people. He looked around and couldn't see it. Fortunately, Feng Zheng saw him.

"Miss San! Oh, you have a good eye!" The official breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came forward.

When he arrived in front of him, Wang Xiangmian hurriedly saluted Liu Yunxiang.

"Crown Princess, our mansion lets our subordinates wait for you here. Please go to Yanzhou."

"But what urgent matter?"

“The carriage is ready for you.”

Wang Xiangmian pointed to the carriage in the distance. Liu Yunxiang wanted to go back to Shengjing directly, but after thinking about it, he would take the carriage and go to Yanzhou first.

"Yang He would have something urgent, otherwise I won't forgive him!"

Feng Zheng was very happy when he heard that he was going to Yanzhou, "I want to tell Yang Futai that I want to marry Zijin."

Zi Jin kicked him, "I haven't promised to marry you yet!"

"I'm not in a hurry, but I have to inform Yang Futai, otherwise he will always worry about my marriage. When the Crown Princess agrees, when you agree, when the Lingnan war is pacified, we will get married again."

"Ha, it turns out you have planned it."

"I think about it during the day and at night, but I think about it when I'm free."

How could Liu Yunxiang not know about Feng Zheng and Zi Jin? It was just that there was something more urgent at the moment, so he could only let him go first.

This place is not far from Yanzhou, and it will be there after two days of walking.

Yang He received the letter and greeted her at the city gate.

"Crown Princess, go to the city first to take a rest."

Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain to look at Yang He. He was wearing a plain white robe, just like when he saw him in the cell before, he looked like a down-and-out scholar. After experiencing a prison disaster, his head was almost cut off. There was no darkness between his eyebrows, and he still smiled brightly, even more youthful and energetic than before.

The middle-aged man is so handsome and polite, and probably has stolen a lot of women's hearts.

"Yang Futai, I thought your Yanzhou city gate had a fire, so I was in a hurry to call me here!" Liu Yunxiang said angrily.

But seeing him laughing so happily, nothing big happened.

Yang He laughed out loud, "Don't worry, the Crown Princess, keep your worth."

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts were circling, but he stopped paying attention to this matter, "Then let's find a place to discuss in detail first."

"Don't you take a break first?"

"The war in Lingnan is tense and the situation in Shengjing is unstable. How dare I delay it."

"Okay, let's go to the city first."

After entering the city, Liu Yunxiang opened the curtains and looked out. It was Yanzhou City. There were many shops on both sides of the street and the business was booming. People walked on the street in groups to buy, and vendors were hawking, some asking for prices and some bargaining, creating a prosperous landscape.

If every place in Darong is like Yanzhou, then there will be no displaced people, the politics is clear and the officials and the people are united, but Darong will only have one Yanzhou in the entire Darong.

Walking on the street, women passing by like to say hello to Yang He or make a joke.

"Mr. Yang, thanks to your guidance from my boy, he has been diligent in his work these days and has never attacked his daughter-in-law anymore. The whole family is harmonious."

"That's good, just that day I started a little heavier, was his eyes still blue?"

"Let him be green, so that he can have a memory."

"You finally figured it out."

"If you can't figure it out, will you live up to your efforts? By the way, in the spring of my home, I brewed a few jars of osmanthus wine, and I'll send you two jars of them in the future."

"Then I will thank you."

"By the way, the married girl from the opposite door of my house, He Li came home and looked so beautiful. I will be a matchmaker and tell you about this marriage?"

"Don't, I'm going to get married, and all the women in the city will be heartbroken."

The woman walked away with a smile, and Liu Yunxiang listened in the carriage and couldn't help laughing. An official could get along with the people and have such a good relationship, and only one official in Darong was Yang He.

Feng Zheng really told Yang He about his relationship with Zi Jin. Yang He was naturally happy. While hugging Feng Zheng, he praised him for his vision, and sighed that he had grown up.

"You're going to get married, I'm still an old bachelor."

"Then you..."

"I dreamed of my wife last night. She said that if I dared to marry again, she would take me with me."

Feng Zheng curled his lips, "You always open your mouth to say that lies."

"Don't you believe it?"

"Don't believe it."

"Then I'll let my wife find you tonight."

"No, I believe you can't do it."

When he arrived at the Yanzhou Prefecture Office, Liu Yunxiang got off the car and saw a lot of grain bags stacked in front of him, one person tall, dozens of feet long, and a square pile of them into a small hill. There were several wooden boxes next to him filled with broken silver.

"This..." Liu Yunxiang widened her eyes.

"I learned that the prince and the princess were fighting in Lingnan, and our Yanzhou was far away and we couldn't get much effort, but we had surplus grain in our family, so the people spontaneously donated grain and money. We did not donate to the court, we only supported you and the prince."

While speaking, the fellow villagers came over with food on their backs, and piled them up onto the hill.

"This is for the prince." The fellow villager also gave a special explanation.

The official sent a letter replied: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, we will hand it over to the prince and the princess."

After hearing this, the fellow villagers left with confidence.

"The prince cut off the 30% tax added to Yanzhou, and did not pursue the previous arrears. The people of Yanzhou are very grateful to him." Yang He said.

Liu Yunxiang was very moved and very grateful to the people of Yanzhou who still remember Yan Mu's good deeds.

"Also, our Yanzhou government has raised 100,000 stones of military rations for you and the prince, and purchased a batch of horse-feeding materials from the Weizhou area. We came to you to discuss how to transport these foods and grasses." Yang He said.

The emperor did not agree to the war, and the prince insisted on fighting, so the current situation was very subtle and he couldn't figure it out. It would be better for Liu Yunxiang to arrange it.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Yanzhou and Yang Futai for their generosity. I will arrange these food and grass. Yang Futai should not be involved too much."

"I think so too."

These foods and grass solved the urgent needs of Lingnan and helped them survive this winter.

Liu Yunxiang was not in a hurry to return to Beijing at this moment, stayed in Yanzhou, waiting for Lingyun's horse gang to come back, and transported the grain to Lingnan in three batches. After the food and grass were all arranged, Liu Yunxiang returned to Shengjing again. The New Year's Day was already over and spring was about to begin.

But as soon as her carriage entered the city, she was intercepted by the palace guards.
