Dominate Marvel

Sun Xiucai said: "Tian Hongyu did not return empty-handed from the draft. There are two stunning ladies among them who can be the master's concubines."

Ying Yi couldn't help being speechless after hearing this.

Zheng Yunzhi's face turned dark and she glared at Sun Xiucai fiercely.

Sun Xiucai Quan pretended to be invisible and said: "My lord is already quite old, but my mistress is not even that old yet. My lord is no longer alone. There are more than 100,000 people and more than 10,000 soldiers in the three counties of Nanyang. Many dangers depend on my lord." . Spread the branches and leaves, and give birth to noble children early, which is convenient for calming people's hearts. Those two women are both talented and talented. They can be selected as beautiful girls by Tian Hongyu, and it will not be an insult to the master to accept them. What do you think, Mr. Zheng?"

He looked at Zheng Yunzhi.

Zheng Yunzhi said nothing with a dark face.

Ying Yi's age is indeed not young in this era. At his age, ordinary people would have already married a wife and had children.

However, although Ying Yi and Zheng Ziniang were engaged to be married now, Ziniang was only fourteen, and Ying Yi had already said that Ziniang was too young. In fact, he is still a loner.

Ying Yi himself didn't care at all about such things. After all, he was a person from time travel. At his age, after hundreds of years, there are many people who are not married.

But Sun Xiucai and others saw this and felt it was not okay.

This time Zhou Li captured Tian Hongyu, and the showgirl chosen by Tian Hongyu was also among them. Sun Xiucai saw two of them who were indeed stunningly beautiful. Sun Xiucai thought that since they were beautiful girls, it would not be a disgrace to Ying Yi's status to accept them, so he mentioned them here.

Marrying a wife is naturally very solemn, but taking a concubine is not. In Sun Xiucai's eyes, with Ying Yi's status as the founder of a new dynasty sooner or later, taking in a few concubines was just a matter of words and was not considered a big deal.

This is the principle of marrying a virtuous wife and concubines.

Speaking of which, Sun Xiucai has also been secretly making selections these days, but there is no suitable candidate in Yuzhou, otherwise he would have mentioned it to Ying Yi long ago.

Zheng Yunzhi knew it in her heart and had no objection, but her face definitely looked bad. After all, Ying Yi is his son-in-law, and his daughter Zheng Ziniang is Ying Yi's original wife.

Regarding the matter of taking concubines, Ying Yi has no problem.

He was not a hypocritical person to begin with. Zi Niang was only fourteen years old. She got engaged as soon as she said she wanted to get engaged. He didn't think he had any embarrassment about it. It was just that it was difficult to do so for the time being.

He is also a man of strong blood, with an extremely strong body and an extremely full spirit. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things at hand and my attention was distracted, I should have taken a concubine with two rooms to satisfy my physiological needs.

He nodded: "Let's not talk about this for now. I will make a decision after I see it."

Sun Xiucai thought it was okay, but he himself might not like it. You have to see it and think it's okay, then you can take action.

Who is he Ying Yi? He doesn't like those with ordinary looks.

Sun Xiucai said happily: "My lord is wise."

Ying Yi laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. How is the situation of the supervisory army from Xiangyang now?"

he asked.

Zheng Yunzhi twisted his beard and smiled and said: "It's no problem. These two people have already gone to the capital to report the war. I think they will be appointed by the imperial court soon."

Ying Yi felt relieved and said with a smile, "That's good."

Then he said: "I am temporarily stationed in Xiangcheng County to focus on military training. Li Yan and Luo Rucai are both the whetstones for military training. As for the intruders, I will not send troops immediately before the imperial court appoints them. "

Both Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai knew what Ying Yi meant.

If your court doesn't give you any benefits, I won't move for the time being. I won't work hard for you until you get the benefits.

"The battles that defeated Li Yan and Luo Rucai will be reported to the capital one after another, and everyone will be brought there as a reminder." Ying Yi said: "I believe the emperor can understand what I mean."

Sun Xiucai laughed.

Zheng Yunzhi smiled bitterly: "Blackmailing the emperor, you... eh..."

Ying Yi said: "If the Ming Dynasty was peaceful and the people were prosperous, I would not dare and would not do this. But it is not the case now. The emperor is at the end of his life, and I have military exploits, so he has to rely on me. Knowing that I can rely on him This is a threat, so I can only hold my nose and admit it."

Then he said: "I think not only will he be appointed, but he will also be very generous and don't dare to force me."

Zheng Yunzhi sighed and nodded.

Ying Yi added: "For the time being, these two supervisors will provide us with good food and drink. When they are appointed, they will go to the district office."

Then he said: "How is the scholar doing with the purchase of supplies?"

Ying Yi has always remembered this matter.

"It has been discussed." Xiucai perked up and said, "Yesterday, my subordinates and Mr. Zheng met with shopkeeper Li. For the purchase of grain and supplies, my subordinates paid thirty thousand taels of silver in advance. Shopkeeper Li promised that within half a month, shopkeeper Li would Ten thousand stones of grain and grass, and one hundred thousand catties of iron will be sent.”

Ying Yi nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. At present, Nanyang is in ruins and needs a huge amount of materials. This path must not be cut off."

Sun Xiucai said: "Don't worry, sir."

Zheng Yunzhi said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Zheng's Trading Company still has some connections."

Shopkeeper Li is the person in charge of Zheng's Trading Company in Nanyang. As for Zheng's Trading Company, it is the property of Zheng Yunzhi's family and is currently controlled by Zheng Yunzhi's brother.

After all, they are also a family, so having Zheng Yunzhi around would be no problem.

Then he asked about land reclamation.

These days, Ying Yi's attention is focused on the military, but the management of people's livelihood, under the control of Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai, is gradually getting on the right track.

Nanyang should have been a place of outstanding people and places of outstanding people, but in recent years natural and man-made disasters, bandits and thieves have ravaged and displaced the people, leaving hundreds of miles of desolation and large tracts of land uncultivated. Reopening wasteland is now the top priority.

It's only mid-June, and according to estimates by Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai, one-tenth of the wasteland in the three counties will be cleared by early July.

The cultivated area in the three counties at its peak was at least several million acres. Nanyang is located in the Central Plains, has a dense population, and is second to none in the development of its natural environment. But nowadays, the population is losing a lot, and there are only more than 100,000 people in the three counties. It is not easy to carve out one-tenth of the wasteland.

But as long as this one-tenth, more than 600,000 acres of wasteland can produce food, the people in the three counties will no longer have to worry about starving to death.

"Early July..."

Ying Yi looked thoughtful, and then said: "What are you going to plant on these more than 600,000 acres of land?"

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes have a high yield, and both the stems and leaves can be eaten."

Ying Yi nodded, then shook his head: "Let's see, 600,000 acres of land are mainly used to grow wheat. As for sweet potatoes, it depends on the people's willingness. How many wheat seeds are needed, Xiucai will prepare them first and transport them to Crescent Valley. "

Sun Xiucai and Zheng Yunzhi were both suspicious.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Now is not the time to plant wheat."

Sun Xiucai also nodded quickly.

Ying Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own solution."

Sun Xiucai and Zheng Yunzhi looked at each other, full of doubts. But thinking about Ying Yi's extraordinary actions, such as the Humanity List, the two of them felt some confidence again for no reason.
