Chapter 694: North-South collaboration, with bad intentions
Whether it was the strange changes in the previous dynasty or the fluctuations in the harem, they actually did not have much impact on Shanglinyuan.
Xiao Nianzhi still went to work every day, and occasionally went to Feng Mansion to visit.
At the end of September, the weather is getting cooler, and the autumn harvests in various places have ended one after another.
With the end of the autumn harvest, taxation in various places has officially begun.
Tax grains from around the capital are also successively transported to the capital or stored in warehouses around the capital.
When Xiao Nianzhi gets his salary in October, part of it will be this year's new grain.
New rice, new wheat, and some beans and the like.
Some of these are salary and some are welfare subsidies.
There is a lot of newly acquired grain, and the grain produced by Xiao Nianzhi's own village is also good.
In addition, the various poultry babies introduced from Yan Xingxuan have also grown up, such as lambs. At this time, if killed and eaten, they will still taste very tender.
Chickens, ducks and the like are actually good. If you raise them for a while, they will grow thicker and taste better when they are not fresh and tender.
At this time, the reconstruction of Linzhou was mostly completed.
Most of the people have been resettled.
After all, as the weather gets colder and colder, their housing problems will definitely be solved first.
It was also because he was almost busy that Xiao Nianzhi received the letter from Xu Miaoniang.
In the letter, the other party talked about the current situation in Linzhou, the difficulties they encountered, and their solutions.
In addition to catching up with friends, they also talked more about the situation in Linzhou.
The other party is not asking for help. After all, His Majesty has plans for the future and no one else needs to worry about it.
Difficult, it will definitely be more difficult.
What is not difficult in a disaster year?
However, at least the imperial court is still in charge, and the officials in the middle are not corrupt. Even if they are really greedy, it is just small profits and small profits, which will not make the people's lives difficult.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that in the ancient world, it was really good to encounter such a situation.
Naturally, Xu Miaoniang didn't complain. She just wanted to share it with Xiao Nianzhi and didn't want her to worry too much.
In addition, Xu Miaoniang also said that if Linzhou is settled well, she may come to the capital after the Chinese New Year.
As for what to do in Beijing?
Naturally, she is preparing to get married.
The Xu family has a house here in the capital, but it's not big, but it's not a problem for Xu Miaoniang to live there.
What the Xu family means is that they want her to come to the capital early and cultivate a relationship with the Guo family, so that when they get married, everyone will get along more happily.
Moreover, why did Guo Yinghui marry his wife?
Everyone understands.
Once his wife or concubine becomes pregnant, Guo Yinghui will go to the battlefield.
However, since the war is not tense now, this matter will naturally not be particularly urgent.
The Xu family is also worried that the time Xu Miaoniang and Guo Yinghui spend together is too short.
So I thought, since we are getting married soon after the Chinese New Year, we would arrange for them to come to the capital early and do daily outings and things like that, so that everyone can get acquainted with each other.
In the past, Xu Miaoniang didn't have many friends here in the capital. Even if she knew them a little, the friendship was shallow. After a long period of no contact, it was actually difficult to regain the relationship.
However, now that she has met Xiao Nianzhi, Xu Miaoniang feels that they are compatible, and the Xu family feels that it is just right, so they let her come first.
Even if the relationship with Guo Ying is not warm when we return here, we can at least maintain a good relationship with Xiao Nianzhi.
Xiao Nianzhi and Guo Yinghui are related by marriage. When the time comes, they will be able to help take care of them to some extent.
Xu Miaoniang is a cheerful person. She explained clearly in her letter why she came to Beijing early.
Of course, he also joked: Let Xiao Nianzhi take care of you.
After Xiao Nianzhi read it, he smiled helplessly, then picked up his pen and wrote a reply to the other party.
As he happened to have free time, Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and replied the letter, so as not to have to go back and memorize it and let Xu Miaoniang misunderstand that he did not take her as a friend to heart.
After all, they were also the people who protected Linzhou together.
Xiao Nianzhi still remembers this friendship.
So, write back!
Knowing that the situation in Linzhou was good, Xiao Nianzhi could finally let go of his worries.
Before she could catch her breath, Guo Sixue packed her bags and prepared to return to the northwest.
Winter is coming soon in Fanbang. The weather is getting colder and life is difficult. The things that come into winter may not be as comprehensive as imagined.
I heard again that the harvest in Dajin is good this year.
Then, they changed their mind.
Several countries joined forces and prepared to plunder the Shanxi border before winter.
As for whether you can beat it or not?
If you haven't tried it yet, how do you know you can't beat it?
It's not like they haven't taken advantage of General Guo.
General Guo occasionally stumbles, so how do you know this time that they succeeded instead of the other party?
So, don’t think so much, just do it!
If the northwest moves, the southwest will follow suit.
God knows, how come one from the south and the other from the north are so well-informed.
When one moved, the other followed suit, and just in time, they harassed both sides, making Da Jin's military supplies suddenly tense.
Yan Changxia has been slacking off for several months because of her brother's marriage.
Now, as soon as I heard that fighting was going on in Southwest China, I quickly packed my bags and went to the Tai Hospital.
Because of his filial piety, Feng Ning kept a low profile and rarely left the house.
Yan Changxia also knew about her situation, so she just asked about her and found out that she didn't want to go, so she went over by herself.
Yan Changxia was actually quite worried about the building sinking.
However, she also knew that she was not good at things on the battlefield.
Even though she had learned some boxing and kicking skills from Lou Chen, with her brains and physical strength, she would only go to the battlefield to deliver food.
So, let’s just do the logistics honestly.
Allicin, make more of it!
Guo Sixue is going back to the northwest with military supplies, and the departure time is set for the day after tomorrow.
As for this time, is it a false shot?
So who knows?
After all, it would be troublesome for the other party to set out this time and bring military supplies with them. It would be really troublesome for someone like Xiao Zuo to pay attention to them.
However, with so many things, it doesn’t mean that they can all be brought from the capital.
A lot of them are actually grain rations located close to the northwest.
Otherwise, the journey would be too long and would be a waste for Dajin.
It just so happens that the production in several states near the northwest is pretty good this year.
Although the disaster in Jiangnan has reduced production, the harvests in the northwest and southwest are all good.
So, call the nearest one.
He was not sure of the actual date of Guo Sixue's departure from Beijing, but Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and decided to make a good meal for everyone to eat and drink as a dinner before departure.
But for this matter, you still have to ask Guo Sixue what he means.
The other party can only come over if he has time. If he doesn't have time, he can only do it temporarily.
However, Xiao Nianzhi will still make some food for the other party to take with him on the way.
It's getting colder and colder today. If you can store your things, carry them a little, and it's not a particularly heavy load, it shouldn't be a big problem.
