Chapter 289 I am really blessed to have such caring subordinates like you
After listening to Song Zhizhou’s analysis, everyone just felt that the general was playing a big game of chess, and they were an insignificant part of the chessboard. A small chess piece.
What sounded the horn of the chess game was the imperial edict from Kyoto!
Song Zhizhou and his party happily asked to see Gu Nanxi.
Gu Nanxi instantly felt dizzy. Could it be that they had come to ask him about ways to get rich in other towns?
"Congratulations to Godmother, you got your wish and won the position of governor of Yunzhou!" Song Zhizhou's eyes were full of sincere joy, as if he was the one who became the governor.
“Congratulations, General, on becoming the governor of Yunzhou!” Yan Tongchu also smiled happily. It’s good to have a superior. You can go to your superior to solve any difficulties!
"Congratulations, General..."
A series of congratulations immediately confused Gu Nanxi.
Yunzhou?
Where is Yunzhou?
Why did I suddenly become the governor of Yunzhou?
Song Zhizhou explained the whole story, and then Gu Nanxi realized that brain-feeding was a disease, and this disease spread directly from Kyoto to the border!
In this process, the person who played the most important role was his godson Song Zhizhou!
Gu Nanxi smiled bitterly and did a lot of mental preparation. Just when she was ready to accept the bad news, she was struck by another thunderous shock.
Song Zhizhou: "My godmother's wish has come true, thanks to the great help of all of you!"
Yan Tongchu quickly handed over his hands and said modestly: "Where! Where! It's still Song Lang's suggestion that is better. As soon as he heard that we said The state no longer asked for subsidies from the court, and the minister of household affairs immediately agreed to help."
Hearing this, Gu Nanxi's breath suffocated.
She seemed to be hallucinating just now. She heard Yan Tongchu say that Yunzhou did not need subsidies? !
Dear me, 90% of the fiscal revenue of the Seven Border Towns relies on government appropriations, so they are living a tight life.
Who gave them the courage to refuse subsidies? !
The next second, Qin Bohuai gave Gu Nanxi the answer: "We have a general who can turn stone into gold. We don't need government subsidies, so those people won't get in the way. I'm really fed up with them!" ”
Gu Nanxi also wanted to scream, can you not create difficulties even if there are no difficulties? !
Song Zhizhou bowed slightly, with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, like a puppy, and looked at Gu Nanxi with watery eyes: "Godmother, are you happy to hear this good news? We have done well. Are you in place?"
Gu Nanxi took several breaths and secretly advised herself. The child is too old to be spanked!
We must pursue the education of love and encourage education!
No, my chest still feels uncomfortable!
Gu Nanxi rubbed her breasts and took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth: "I am really lucky to have such caring darlings like you!"
Song Zhizhou’s eyes turned red, and his godmother called him “big baby!”
Seeing this, other people also smiled happily, and a bright and beautiful future was waving to them!
Gu Nanxi rubbed her painful forehead. She didn't want to see these smart babies, so she decided to go to the countryside to investigate!
Gu Nanxi led the people out of the city gate, and after walking along the winding dirt road for half an hour, they could see a small village where tenant farmers lived together.
A few low yellow mud courtyards and several large and small trees that have lost all their leaves.
When the early winter wind blows, the village looks particularly desolate.
As Gu Nanxi and others got closer, they heard a burst of barking, and then someone walked out of the house and stood in the fenced yard to look around.
The person who came out was an old man, holding a hoe in his hand and looking wary. But when he saw Gu Nanxi, he immediately put down the hoe and knelt down to worship.
"The villain meets the general!"
Hearing the old man's movements, a group of people came out of the house, seven or eight men and women in total.
Their voices trembled with excitement: "The villain pays homage to the general!"
Gu Nanxi raised her eyebrows: "Do you know me?" The old man said: "Everyone knows the reputation of the general. I don’t know! I was lucky enough to meet the general when Magistrate Yan welcomed him into Huaishuo Town.”
Standing behind Gu Nanxi, Lu Mei smiled from ear to ear, feeling very proud and proud.
"Sir, have you come to our village for trouble?" The old man's voice trembled slightly, and he was secretly wondering, is there someone in the village who is causing trouble?
"It's no big deal. Isn't the autumn harvest finished? I came here to take a look." Gu Nanxi said with a smile.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside to invite Gu Nanxi into the house.
At this time, many people came out of several small courtyards nearby and stuck their heads out to look here.
Seeing that those people were really curious, Gu Nanxi decided to hold an impromptu tea party in the open space in front of the old man's house.
Lu Mei stuffed a small ingot of silver into the old man's hand: "I came in a hurry and didn't make any preparations. Please ask me to prepare some hot tea to keep the folks warm."
The old man hurriedly Rejecting the money: "How can this be done?"
Lu Mei's attitude is very firm: "My father-in-law, please don't make things difficult for me. If we take my father-in-law's things for free, we will be scolded by the general."
Hearing what Lu Mei said, the old man no longer refused, but took out all the fruits in the cellar with his family. He would definitely not let the general suffer!
The open space outside the old man's house was made of yellow mud. Gu Nanxi didn't care much. She sat on a pony and started chatting with everyone.
"What are we growing in Huaishuo Town? How is the harvest this year?"
Everyone pushed me and I pushed you, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
The old man carrying the copper pot from the house saw this and said generously: "We are only planting some corn and wheat. Some diligent people will plant some beans, and nothing else."< br>
The old man scalded the pottery bowl with hot water two or three times, then poured a full bowl of tea and handed it to Gu Nanxi.
Gu Nanxi thought thoughtfully. Huaishuo Town was next to Woye Town, but the soil was different from that there. Maybe she should go to the emperor and ask about the corn seeds.
With the old man taking the lead, others began to speak boldly.
“The harvest this year is not very good. There are natural disasters one after another, and the Tatars invade the border. I have no intention of farming.”
Soon this man was spit on by his neighbor: "If you are lazy, then you are lazy. When will the Tatars not violate the border?"
After saying that, the neighbor glanced at Gu Nanxi, with hope shining in his eyes: "But with the general here, we will definitely have a good life in the future!"
At this point, the atmosphere in the open space was lively. A lot.
The villagers boldly asked Gu Nanxi about burning Chierla and going deep into the prairie.
When Gu Nanxi told the story, it was thrilling and full of dangers.
When the villagers heard that the Tatars were being killed, they cried for their fathers and mothers, and they wiped away tears one by one: "That's right! That's how it should be! They didn't even let the babies in their infancy live. They deserved to be here today." ! ”
After this exchange, the villagers felt that the general was very friendly and approachable, as if he were one of their own, and they had no worries about chatting with him.
“Our life in Huaishuo Town is pretty good, at least we can grow something in the soil. The land rent collected by Magistrate Yan is not high, three buckets of grain per acre.”
"It's such a pity that Woye Town has 10,000 acres of land cultivated No food is available.”
“Do you still remember the weird old man who came to our village four days ago?”
“I heard that they went to Woye Town first and then came back. We are in Huaishuo Town”
"Yes! I heard the old man chatting with his companions, saying that he wanted to plant grass in Woye Town!"
