At this moment, the servants had cut wood and built a wooden shed on a flat place by the river. It was sheltered from wind and rain on three sides and faced the Jiujiang River. They spread hay and a blanket inside, and Princess Kunxing sat there.
Inside, I was happily looking at the river. There was a bonfire burning at the door of the wooden shed. It was so warm and comfortable.
The guards were also busy digging holes and burying pots, breaking ice to get water, and hunting in the woods. After Chang Yu arrived to join everyone in the busy work, they had harvested a lot.
Several more straw huts were built by the river, and game was put on the rack for roasting. People crowded into piles to barbecue and chat, making it very lively.
Not everyone can enter Princess Kunxing's thatched hut, that is, Chang Yu, Song Luoyu, the prince, and the five palace maids. The palace maid took out the food box she brought from the General Military Mansion. There were some cakes in it and distributed them to everyone. Chang
Yu leaned on the pillar and looked at the Jiujiang River in trance. Princess Kunxing kicked him: "Even if this is a straw shed, I feel tighter and more comfortable than in the palace."
Chang Yu sighed: "If you feel comfortable now, you will be sad when you go back."
Princess Kunxing was startled: "How do you say this?"
"Because it feels good to be out of the palace for a while, and it feels good to go out of the palace." Chang Yu said with a smile: "How can you stay in the palace after you have so much fun outside the palace?"
Princess Kunxing was stunned and looked at Zhu Cihong who was silent next to her: "Although the palace is very big, I have been familiar with every plant and tree for more than ten years. I have already had enough of it!"
"Why are you telling me these things, as if I can come out at will?" Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly and winked at Princess Kunxing: "That sir is a capable person."
Princess Kunxing chuckled and looked at Chang Yu: "Can you please come up with a solution for me?"
Chang Yu rolled his eyes and went to the haystack: "It depends on the wishes of the two young masters." He rubbed his fingers together to ask for money.
The Zhu brothers and sisters laughed and kicked him. The palace maid and Song Luoyu were also made to laugh. Zhu Ainao laughed very happily. She really liked this feeling. There are no rules or red tape here, and there is no high or low status.
You can play happily, say what you want to say and do what you want to do. This is the youth that young people should have.
"I really hope we can be like this when we grow up." Zhu Cixiang looked at Chang Yu and then at Princess Kunxing, his eyes full of expectation.
Princess Kunxing nodded vigorously and looked at Chang Yu: "Sir, will we still be this happy in the future?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "I don't know, you are a princess who will be married in the future. How can your husband's family allow you to show up and play so casually?"
"Then I won't get married." Zhu Yulao bit her lip and said, Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't get married, this eldest son will ascend the throne. At that time, he was a nine-five-year-old man. Will he let us play together?
?”
"Don't rush me." Zhu Cixiang bared his teeth and claws and rushed over to pinch Chang Yu. The two started to fight again. Wang Zhengnan, who was having a barbecue by the river not far away, was dumbfounded. He whispered to Chen Ruxin next to him: "I feel like a thunderbolt struck me.
I would never have imagined that the prestigious Governor of the East Factory could be like this before."
"Then what do you think the Governor is like?" Chen Suole asked with a smile.
"I think he should be someone like Wei Zhongxian who is aloof and arrogant. Even though he is not as old as him, he is still a sinister and sinister person." Wang Zhengnan thought for a while and whispered.
Unexpectedly, the Chen brothers all said in unison: "Yes, the young governor is such a person. He is not only insidious but also cunning and extremely despicable."
"You..." Wang Zhengnan's outlook suddenly collapsed. Who are they helping? They dare to say this to his immediate boss. Although he has joined the group, he has not yet integrated into it.
On the other side, the dozen or so soldiers were showing off the silver reward to Gao Di's servants. Looking at the thatched hut in the distance, they couldn't help but ask, "What are the backgrounds of those young men? Why do they need the protection of Jin Yiwei?"
, It really belongs to a high-ranking official’s family.”
"The background is very big. The darker one is the eunuch of Dongchang. The two are the sons of high-ranking officials in Beijing. They can play with the eunuch of Dongchang. The background is small. They are at least six ministers.
The young master may be from a noble family in Beijing," a servant said casually.
Ah, more than a dozen soldiers were stunned. You looked at me, I looked at you, the great eunuch of Dongchang. After hearing his name for a long time, seeing him today was so different from what he had imagined.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then made a decision. They got up and knelt down in front of Chang Yu's hut and kowtowed: "Young men, I pay homage to the Lord Governor. We were blind just now..."
Chang Yu frowned, got up and walked outside to let everyone get up: "Eat, drink, and have a good time. Why are you here to kowtow? Don't spoil the fun." Then everyone quickly got up, laughed and dispersed to eat and drink.
When Chang Yu took the crown prince and princess on a sightseeing tour, Gao Di in Guancheng was also busy calling in the suspects one by one to make innuendoes. However, because there was no direct evidence, it was still impossible to determine who framed the accusation, so in the end the matter was dropped.
But there is a new suspicion that it must be the Jin Yiwei or the police in the city who are causing trouble. Although important towns like Shanhaiguan no longer have supervisory troops, there are many agents from the two intelligence agencies.
This time it was really dangerous. Fortunately, it was a false accusation. Gao Di broke into a cold sweat when he thought about how he was captured by Chang Yu in Funing. He should be more cautious in the future, and it was time to hug him. He was originally friends with Wu Sangui.
I thought it was reliable enough, but now that Sangui is waving around like a gunman, who has the time to take care of him?
It was almost evening when Chang Yu came back. The sky was gloomy and dark, and the wind was strong and snowflakes were drifting. Everyone was very cold, but they looked very satisfied. It was a very pleasant outing, but the prince's eyes were
The swollen Gaudi naturally couldn't guess that the young man cried several times.
After returning to the General Military Mansion, everyone went to repair. Chang Yu called Gao Di into the study to discuss an important matter. He said that he had just received information about a food shortage outside the customs. He wanted to allocate some food from him to support it first, and then from him later.
The capital adjusted the grain to pay him back.
This put Gaudi in a difficult position. It was no secret that the imperial court was short of food during the great famine in the capital. It was said that hundreds of people starved to death in the capital in one day. It can be said that food was very expensive at that time. Salaries and silver could be in short supply, but food could not be. Salaries and silver could last a year.
If you don't eat, you won't die. If you don't eat for three days, you can starve to death.
I can only save enough for three months. If I transfer it to Ningyuan, it will not be as simple as tightening my belt. It is good that the court can provide it in time. If it is not provided in time, the consequences will be very serious, and mutiny is not a problem.
Seeing that winter is approaching, every town is trying its best to stock up on food. They all want to grab other people's pockets. There is no point in digging out.
"Ningyuan is a soldier of the imperial court, and Shanhaiguan is also a soldier of the imperial court. Ningyuan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and so is Shanhaiguan. Is it possible that the imperial court will let those from Shanhaiguan starve to death to help those from Ningyuan?" Chang Yu saw Gao Di's embarrassment and said, "This governor
As a guarantee, we will continue to supply supplies after returning to Beijing. The first month or so may be tight, but after two months there will be no worries about food shortages."
"Is there any basis for what the governor said? As far as the general knows, there is a great famine in the capital at this time and there is no food..." Gao Di frowned, and Chang Yu smiled and said: "Your news is too late, my governor
Before returning to Beijing, I had purchased grain on a large scale in the south. The new rice harvested in the autumn from the south is being shipped one after another. I have also planted thousands of acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Tongzhou, as well as the relief grain and grass shipped by Zheng Zhilong from Fujian. The famine will last for at most two months.
control".
Gao Di was speechless. He believed in Chang Yu's words, and he also believed in Chang Yu's abilities. This man was not only marching and fighting, but also prepared for rainy days in all aspects.
What's more important is that if someone doesn't know how much inventory they have, they can find a way to refuse it, but now they have just checked the warehouse and know that you have it. If you still don't borrow it, you will be disrespectful... I wonder, something is wrong. It seems that Gao Di has caught it.
What.
Now that he has agreed, he has to start things immediately. Gao Di has gathered people to work and has no time to accompany the guests, and Chang Yu does not need his company.
In order to get some food for Zu Dashou smoothly, he tried his best to trick Gao Di and coax the two children along the way. At this time, he was already exhausted and decided to go to his own place to stay quietly for a while.
