Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 689: Negotiation

Feng Yong was very happy to get good news from Gongsun Zheng and Li Jian.

When entertaining the two of them, they couldn't help drinking a few more glasses.

When the lights came on and he returned to the backyard, Feng Yong, who was slightly drunk, was blown by the cold wind, and only then did he wake up a little bit.

Standing at the door of Guan Ji's room, seeing that the lights were still on inside, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Has Mr. Xi slept?"

Guan Ji's voice came from inside: "Has A Lang finished handling the political affairs?"

Feng Yong scratched his head: "What political affairs? I just entertained the guests."

Then I heard laughter from inside, and there were more than one.

"Ah Lang, come in, don't stand outside, it's so cold."

Only then did Feng Yong open the door and go in, standing outside, separated by a screen: "If I don't come here too late in the future, Xijun should rest earlier. If you are pregnant with a fetus, you must pay attention to your body."

Although he is not allowed to sleep in the same room with Guan Ji now, Feng Yong still comes to talk to her every night before going to bed, and he has formed a habit.

"The concubine knows. Why doesn't Ah Lang come in?"

Guan Ji's voice sounded from inside.

"No, I drank wine, there will be a smell of alcohol when I go in, Xijun will feel uncomfortable if I smell it, and I'm afraid that I will cause Xijun to vomit again."

Feng Yong poked his head out from behind the screen, and saw Guan Ji was sitting on the kang that the engineering team had brought out in a hurry, with Amei and Li Mu sitting on either side.

She looks like a landlady!

It's just that the looks of the landlady and the maid are extraordinary, which makes people feel a little unreal.

As Guan Ji's pregnancy got longer, her pregnancy reaction became more and more obvious.

The pungent smell can easily induce vomiting.

Considering this situation, Feng Yong could only stand outside and talk to her from a distance in order to prevent Guan Ji from sleeping unsteadily at night.

"A-Lang has a heart." Guan Ji's voice was very gentle, "It's too cold, since it's not easy for A-Lang to come in, then hurry back and rest."

"Since Alang has to be busy with state affairs, don't be distracted by my concubine. My concubine is not so delicate, so I don't need to come here every night."

Feng Yong shook his head, which seemed to be a little dull, and said "tsk", "What is this called? This is the time when Xijun needs my company the most."

"I feel guilty for not being able to accompany Xijun when I am busy on weekdays. Only when I can talk to Xijun before going to sleep, I will feel at ease."

After hearing this, Guan Ji's expression became more and more gentle.

The two talked some more, seeing that the weather was not early, Feng Yong was afraid that it would affect Guan Ji's rest, so he said goodbye to her and left.

Hearing Feng Yong's footsteps going away, Guan Ji looked at Li Mu: "Why don't you hurry up and follow?"

Li Mu blushed slightly, stood up and saluted Guan Ji, and then followed out as if fleeing.

"You go too." Guan Ji said to Amei on the other side.

When Amei heard it, she said "ah".

Even under the candlelight, her face could be seen reddening at a visible speed.

"But the lady, the servant girl wants... to take care of the lady."

Amei stammered a little.

"Can you compare to the female medical workers in Nanxiang Medical College?" Guan Ji smiled slightly, and patted A Mei's head, "Go, just tell A Lang, this is what I mean."

A Mei knows how to advance and retreat, Guan Ji knows it too.

Otherwise, it is not certain who will conceive A Lang's child first.

So after Guan Ji fulfilled her wish, she didn't mind being more generous.

"Besides, Ah Lang looks very happy tonight. Mu Niang is a newcomer, so she might not be able to take care of her well. I'm relieved if you follow her."

Ah Mui just got up, bowed to Guan Ji, and was about to turn around.

Guan Ji suddenly said again: "Mu Niang is new to our Feng family, some of the rules may not be familiar to you. But you have always done a good job in this aspect, you can teach her when you have time, understand?"

Ah Mei was taken aback, seeing Guan Ji's meaningful gaze, she nodded quickly: "My servant understands."

Feng Yong returned to the room where he slept, and sat down on the padded chair, feeling a little drowsy.

After drinking some wine, being blown by the cold wind again, and returning to the warm room, I felt drowsy all at once.

Feeling someone rubbing his forehead, at the same time Li Mu's voice came: "Is the gentleman uncomfortable?"

"No, just a little thirsty."

Then a glass of warm water was brought to his mouth.

Feng Yong didn't even open his eyes, he just opened his mouth and drank it.

Then the shoes and socks on the feet were taken off and soaked in hot water.

Someone was gently massaging his temples, and his feet were soaked in hot water, making Feng Yong moan comfortably.

Dream life ah!

Corruption, corruption!

"Thank you, Aaron, for today."

Li Mu who was behind said softly.

A Lang arranged for him to meet Li Jian from the Li family in Longxi today, which meant that the sixth room of the Li family in Central Shu and the Li family in Longxi had formally established a relationship.

As long as the family has a firm foothold in Pingxiang, it is a simple matter to become the Li family in Pingxiang.

Then manage it well and let the Li family become the prefect of Hanyang County, it will be natural.

According to Nanxiang's experience, it doesn't even need two or three generations, or even five or six generations. As long as there are no mistakes, the efforts of one generation may be enough.

"Thank you? You are my Feng family, and the Li family and the Feng family are considered relatives. It is also good for me if you move your family to Pingxiang."

Feng Yong leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed Li Mu's massage, and said, "By the way, it seems that the New Year will be in a few days. After the New Year, it will be the beginning of spring."

"The snow will melt quickly in spring. When the time comes, you should prepare and hurry back to Nanxiang. Alas, you don't know. Siniang sent several letters from Nanxiang these days, all urging me to let you go." back."

"Just reading the letter she wrote, I thought the sky in Nanxiang was about to fall! It seems that Nanxiang still can't do without you."

Li Mu chuckled lightly: "I know. Speaking of which, I was really in a hurry to leave. I didn't arrange things well, so I entrusted everything to Miss Zhang. It's because I didn't think carefully."

Thinking of Siniang's exasperated tone in the letter, Feng Yong could even imagine her akimbo pointing at his nose and cursing, and a smile appeared on her face.

"After I go back, I have time to teach her well. Also, let Li Tong and the second wife of the Xu family come to Pingxiang. After the spring of this year, Longyou must hurry up to cultivate."

"The Xu family's second wife has experience, let her bring someone over to guide her."

Promoting the planting ratio of grain and Yutou is the credit of Xu's Erniang.

Yutou has a high yield and is a very important grain for famine preparation.

As long as a small proportion of Yutou is planted in the ground every year, there is no need to worry about a year of famine.

More importantly, taro stems and leaves can be used as pig food, which greatly reduces the burden of raising pigs.

The only thing to worry about is that Yutou has relatively high requirements for water and fertilizer.

But since there is a pasture, there is no need to worry too much about the fertilizer.

In addition to the high-tube waterwheel, it is not difficult to plant Yutou in Longyou.

Therefore, the merits of raising yu head to prepare for shortage, increasing the diversity of rations, and reducing the cost of raising pigs are enough for Feng Yong to remember.

What's more, in the past few years, she has led people and summed up a lot of farming experience.

To let her stay at Nanxiang's place is to feel wronged.

Today's Longyou is not like the Loess Plateau of later generations, but a land with beautiful mountains and green waters and fertile land.

Asking the second wife of the Xu family to bring people over to promote farming techniques is to make the best use of their talents.

"It's understandable to let the second wife of the Xu family come here as a concubine, but didn't the gentleman say that he wants my younger brother to keep bees in Nanxiang?"

Li Mu reminded.

"Longyou, I will open a pasture in the future, so as not to delay beekeeping. More importantly, after the spring of this year, I will raise a large number of chickens and ducks in Longyou, so I need him to come and preside over this matter."

"Besides, isn't your Li family going to develop in Pingxiang in the future? Li Tong is your younger brother. If he behaves well this time, I think he will have a place in the Li family in the future."

Hearing Feng Yong's words, Li Mu's body became hot all of a sudden: "I really don't know how to thank the gentleman..."

Even if Feng Yong didn't turn to look at her, he could still feel the fiery emotion in her words.

Feng Yong smiled strangely, "Don't be too busy thanking me first. I still need Si Niang's consent to Li Tong's matter, and it depends on how you persuade Si Niang at that time."

Li Mu bit his lip, leaned down, and whispered in Feng Yong's ear: "I understand. I will leave this matter to my concubine."

The voice is full of sweetness, and the style is quite different from the usual performance in front of outsiders.

I don't know if he drank too much wine, Feng Yong felt a little thirsty again.

"Well, one last thing." Feng Yongqiang said calmly, "After you return to Nanxiang, pay more attention to the school. Wei Rong has something to ask, and he will do his best to meet it."

"In the next few years, there will definitely not be enough students in the school. As many students as the school can teach, try to teach as many as possible."

"Amei, remember to remind me tomorrow to transfer Yaomei from Yuejuan to Nanxiang and let her take care of the breeding in Nanxiang."

Ah Mei, who was on the kang getting ready for work before going to bed, responded in a low voice.

"I heard that Yaomei was taught by Nanjun himself to wish the rooster, why not let her come to Longyou?"

Li Mu asked curiously.

Feng Yong smiled lightly: "I originally wanted her to come to Longyou, but Wei Rong was sent to Nanxiang to preside over the school, in order to let him teach students with peace of mind, so I had to let Yaomei also go to Nanxiang. "

Li Mu let out a sigh, understood Feng Yong's words, and asked hesitantly: "Mr., the Wei family's lord, after all, is also the son of General Wei, Yaomei..."

"Fuck the son of General Wei!" Feng Yong scolded, "Wei Rong is my disciple, and he came from Zhuangzi, how can Yaomei not be worthy of him?"

She sighed again as she spoke, "It's not that I like being a matchmaker for others. It's just that Xijun told me that when these two were in Yuejuan together, she saw some strange things between them several times."

"Wei Rong can be regarded as my great disciple of Kaishan. When Yaomei first entered the mansion, she was probably only this tall?"

Feng Yong closed his eyes and gestured casually, "In the blink of an eye, almost five years have passed. Since the two have mutual affection, I can't stop it."

"After all, they have helped me a lot in the past few years. Other people would naturally not want Wei Rong to marry Yaomei, but here, I have no reason to stop."

"What about General Wei?"

Li Mu asked softly.

"So I discussed with Xijun, let Yaomei go to Nanxiang to take charge of the affairs, and then give her a good registration, and then you take her with you and teach her something."

"Anyway, according to my rules, it's best for the two of you to wait for another two years. In these two years, I'm afraid you will have to run back and forth between Longyou and Nanxiang. It's just for Yaomei to get started."

"If you can bring Yaomei out at that time, let her take over Nanxiang, and you come here and follow me."

Li Mu hesitated and said, "But Nanxiang..."

"Don't worry, after Liangzhou and Guanzhong are pacified, I will gradually move some things in Nanxiang to other places. For example, schools, exchanges, reserve bureaus and so on."

"As for Nanxiang, we are planning to shift our focus to mines in the mountains. We will have more and more foundations in the future, so we can't always stick to one Nanxiang, can we?"

"It's like over there in Yuexuan, isn't Wang Langjun also watching!"

"Besides, one of them is my disciple, and the other is a person who went out from Zhuangzi. There is nothing to worry about."

Hearing Feng Yong's explanation, Li Mu finally understood.

"The man's plan is really far-reaching."

After hearing this, Feng Yong didn't know what he thought of, and immediately smiled meaningfully: "That's right? I have something more profound!"

Ah Mei, who was about to help him dry the water stains on his feet, heard this, her hands trembled, and the towel fell into the basin.

Feng Yong opened his eyes, just in time to see Amei's flustered movements, and sighed shamelessly: "Corruption, really corruption!"

Compared with Hanzhong, Longyou is still chilly after the beginning of spring.

Not to mention the westernmost land near Liangzhou in Longxi.

The bald people went south from the land of the West Sea, crossed the upper reaches of the big river, crossed many mountains and rivers, and finally walked eastward along the Lishui River, and then entered Baishi County, the most border of Longxi.

"Master Shao, this is indeed a good place for grazing!"

Looking at the endless grassland in front of him, the Xianbei elder of the bald hair department said happily to the bald hair.

Although the snow has not completely melted, one can already imagine how lush the grass will grow here in summer.

Most importantly, it is warmer than the West Sea.

With water, pastures, and mountains for protection from the biting winds, there's no better place.

Soon, the clansmen who were exploring the way ahead ran back on flying horses.

"Young Master, there is a tribe ahead, blocking the way."

Hearing the news, everyone's expressions became serious.

Only the bald-haired man showed a smile on his face: "Come on, come with me to meet them for a while."

"Master Shao, the tribe's troops are still behind, why don't we wait for a while? It's too dangerous for you to go forward like this."

Someone persuaded.

The bald man shook his head: "Don't be afraid. We are here pretending to be a caravan, and they won't embarrass the caravan. Come here, get the salt ready."

The tribe standing in front was a Xiaoyuehu tribe. Although they were a little wary when they heard a caravan coming from the west, they didn't have too much suspicion.

Over the past few years, woolen materials have spread in Liangzhou, and more and more tribes have sent people to Longyou to inquire about woolen materials.

Some caravans even bought wool from the Han people in Longyou.

Although this caravan from the west came a little early, it is not surprising.

After all, on the high mountains in the west, I heard that it is very cold all year round.

It takes them at least half a year to go back and forth.

The bald man took the salt in exchange for food, and the leader of the Xiaoyuehu tribe got a bargain. Feeling better, he even told him a piece of news for free.

Now that Didao is fighting, many tribes here have sent their men.

"Our tribe has also sent its warriors." The leader said frantically, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go east. It's better to settle here first, or go north to trade."
