The surrender of Xixia was proceeding in an orderly manner. Guo Zhao's letter was sent back to the capital. Shen Yanqing read the letter and handed it to Jiang Miao.
At this time, Jiang Miao was half leaning on the bed, playing with the two little guys.
Xiao Anyi couldn't stop. He kept screaming while lying on the bed, holding something in his hand. The nanny and Qingwei were playing with him.
But Yingying was much quieter. Her almond-shaped eyes rolled around and she kept staring at the roof and surroundings. Jiang Miao smiled and tapped her little nose.
"This little girl is very curious and finds everything strange."
The two little guys have now shed their reddish-purple hair and become white and tender. Their skin has also spread out and they look cute and adorable. They are just two fragrant glutinous rice dumplings.
Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing, two new parents, couldn't get enough of it every day. The little one wrinkled his nose and they had to discuss it for a long time.
"Yingying looks like you, cute and cute."
Shen Yanqing's voice sounded like celadon, and the little girl followed it and stared at his face for a while, as if she had seen something good-looking, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Looking at Jiang Miao on the side, the little girl's eyes brightened even more.
"Ahh..."
Beautiful mother, beautiful father!
The little girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of Jiang Miao's clothes and screamed.
"hehe."
The little girl's expression amused the two of them, "She likes us."
Shen Shoufu, who is usually calm and self-possessed, now looks like a fool. His daughter's smile can make him happy like a fool.
"We are her parents. Of course Yingying likes us, right?"
Jiang Miaojiao glared at him angrily, and then asked the little girl softly.
"Ahh..."
Yeah, I like it!
The little girl can't speak yet, and she can't move her limbs very well, otherwise she would still be able to nod and tell her beautiful mother that she likes them!
"Little guy, he will definitely be a sweet-tongued person from now on."
Jiang Miao was so happy that she couldn't get enough of it.
The two talked for a long time, and when the two little guys were tired of playing, they asked the wet nurse to take them away.
At this time, Jiang Miao had time to read the letter sent by Guo Zhao.
The letter is not long. Zhao Jing is responsible for the handover of Xixia's government affairs, and she is interested in other things.
This time, Guo Zhao not only captured Xixia, but also had a task in hand. Jiang Miao was engaged in mass production of cement and had an army of 100,000, and the work of building roads was also left to them.
And now, it’s time to start seeing results.
Roads in ancient times were no better than modern ones. Even in the capital, only the main road leading to the palace was paved with bluestones. The rest were just dirt roads that turned into mud when it rained, making it inconvenient for people to walk.
Not to mention places outside the capital, the road was extremely difficult to navigate due to the bumps and bumps. Jiang Miao had never thought about traveling far away, so she forgot about road construction.
Now that the war has subsided, Dayan must focus on economic development. In addition, in the future, it will exchange supplies with Xixia and surrounding countries, which means that businessmen and people will be indispensable. Road construction is imminent.
This time Guo Zhao led people to attack Xixia. Jiang Miao asked them to bring 100,000 kilograms of cement and build the road from the border to Xixia first.
She had already told Guo Zhao the recipe for the cement, and had sent production workers to follow her. Once they reached the border, they could make it wherever they found the raw materials, and they would not stop building roads because of a lack of raw materials.
Guo Zhao's letter was to tell her that the cement road from Border Pass to Xixia has been completed. When the gate of Xixia opens, Xixia people who want to come to Dayan will be the first to see the wide cement road.
"My brother-in-law is very neat in doing things, and it makes people feel at ease to leave this matter to him."
Although Guo Zhao has not yet married Shen Yingxue, their title has changed.
He is a responsible person and deserves to be called brother-in-law.
"Um."
Shen Yanqing also admired this brother-in-law very much. The two of them, one civil and one military, also had a helping hand in the court. They were highly valued by the emperor and had an unparalleled reputation.
After reading about the cement road, Guo Zhao also wrote about his treatment of Jiang Ru.
Jiang Ru has been caught by Yuan Lang. In order to prevent her from escaping again, Yuan Lang is keeping an eye on her personally.
Jiang Zhe already knew that she was working as a concubine for Tuoba Mingge, and he was furious. If the border had not needed someone to guard it, he would have come to Xixia to arrest her personally.
Jiang Ru betrayed Dayan and hurt Aunt Zhao. Jiang Zhe wanted to strangle her to death with his own hands.
He was dissatisfied with Jiang Miao because of Jiang Ru before, but now he only regrets it, but it's too late.
Neither Jiang Ru nor Jiang Miao had feelings for him.
Jiang Zhe regretted all the time these days. If he had not taken concubines and only had the eldest princess as a woman, how happy they would be now. Having a daughter from Princess Rongning would be worth his two or three children.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, and it was too late for him to make amends.
Jiang Miao was silent for a moment. For some reason she always felt that Jiang Ru would not be caught so easily.
Although there is not much written about her in the original book, Jiang Ru lived to the end, married well, and enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth.
Such a person must be extremely shrewd and self-interested. This can be seen from the fact that she betrayed Dayan several times and took refuge with Tuoba Mingge, the queen.
Jiang Miao felt that she would definitely look for an opportunity to escape again.
"Send more people to keep an eye on her. I doubt she will cooperate with Tuoba Mingge."
Tuoba Mingge has many capable people and has been in business for so many years. They must have found a way to escape. They need to be more careful and not let him escape again.
"Um."
Jiang Miao was thinking of Shen Yanqing, who also knew that he had already written to Guo Zhao, asking him to send more manpower.
At the end of the letter, Guo Zhao also wrote one more thing, asking her for her idea.
"The princess of Xixia hanged herself? She wanted to bury her ashes in Xixia, but the king of Xixia didn't agree, so I secretly begged to my brother-in-law, who asked me if I wanted to help them."
Jiang Miao was not familiar with this princess. She only knew that she was the mother-in-law of Tuoba Mingge and a native of Yan. She was quite popular in the harem of the King of Xixia.
But he didn't expect to hang himself. He didn't want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum and wanted to return to his roots.
When Shen Yanqing saw the letter, he had already asked someone to find out all the princess's deeds.
In just a few words, he explained clearly the affairs of the King of Xixia, the princess and her fiancé. When he heard that the King of Xixia had forced the princess to separate from her fiancé, her fiancé had been single for half her life waiting for her, and the princess was also depressed and lingering on her last breath. She couldn't bear it in her heart. Can't help but be angry.
"I thought it was the overbearing emperor who fell in love with me, a shameless male mistress. The princess didn't like him at all, but she had to snatch him to the palace..."
She was so angry that she had a bad impression of the King of Xixia.
Fortunately, Zhao Jing is not such a person. Even if she likes Xu Zilan, she never thinks about trying to steal her. Instead, she just does what she likes and gets close to her slowly.
After a comparison, Jiang Miao felt that her cheap cousin was a good emperor.
"Tell your brother-in-law that we can help you with this!"
