Nan Yan ordered someone to bring him a bowl of rice first, and then asked, "Where have you been?"

Zhu Chengjun took the bowl with both hands respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Erchen took Wei Ying and the others out of the city to the southwest and ran for more than ten miles. The sun is really poisonous today, and the saddle is so hot that you can fry meat. It's about to burn us out."

Xinping smiled and said, "No wonder you smell like barbecue."

Zhu Chengjun laughed, and immediately said, "That's the barbecue and pancakes we brought with us. After running so far, we were all starved, and we ate them on horseback."

Saying that, he raised his arm and sniffed it in front of his nose: "Is there still a smell?"

Xinping smiled and dragged his arm down, and said, "If it smells good, wait until you finish eating before washing it up. Eat quickly, are you hungry?"

As he spoke, he put a piece of shiny red roast pork into his bowl.

Zhu Chengjun said, "Thank you, sister!"

After he finished speaking, he took a big mouthful of food.

The two children were talking and laughing and eating, while Nan Yan sat aside and looked at the younger son with a smile, and seemed to be holding something in her heart. After a while of silence, she couldn't help but ask: " What are you doing over there?"

Zhu Chengjun swallowed a mouthful of food, and then said: "Erchen went to the military camp yesterday. Although both of us have not moved for the past few days, Erchen asked the team patrolling outside the city, and they said that every three or four days, there will be a There will always be a group of people coming out and heading west, but they have never seen any trace of such a group coming back."

Nan Yan frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Chengjun said, "They're going to transport food."

"Shipping food?"

"Yes, my son has calculated it. The monarch of the Yue Kingdom has successively summoned nearly 50,000 horses around Doubei Town, plus the people in the town and the civil and military officials brought by him, consume so much food and grass every day. I heard that there is no such large storage granary in Doubei Town, so they must have put it in other places. Since they have put them in other places, they naturally have to pick them up every few days. To avoid being discovered by us and robbing them of their food and forage, we walked in a straight line, but when we returned to Doubei Town, we often took a detour to avoid our inspection range.”

"..."

"Erchen followed this direction and took people there to take a look. As a result, we found it!"

Nan Yandao: "Have you found the place where they stored food?"

Zhu Chengjun smiled and said, "Yes."

"Where?"

"It's in a granary in the west of Doubei Town. When my son first came here, he heard from his father that outside Doubei Town, the former Prime Minister of Yue State, Chen Biri, once sent people to reclaim a thousand hectares of fertile land. However, we have shipped a lot of grain to Vietnam in the past few years. The grain in our country is much better than the grain produced in this place. Therefore, there is no market for those grains, so there must be a place to store them. Chen Biri will definitely look for a place to store them on the spot.”

"..."

"So, I found it when I went there. I heard that the place has been abandoned for a long time, because the food has been taken away. It was not until this time that the monarch of the Yue Kingdom brought over a hundred thousand shi of food, and it was reopened. the granary."

Xinping looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his hair forcefully: "You are so smart!"

Zhu Chengjun was rubbed by her so that his entire face was almost pushed into his rice bowl, and he smiled and said, "Of course!"

Nan Yan listened to these words calmly, with no expression on her face. She just said after being silent for a while: "I found their granary, what are you going to do next?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Shunzi walked to the door and said softly, "Your Majesty."

Zhu Feng said: "Huh?"

Xiao Shunzi said, "Master Cui asked to see him. He said he wanted to report the weather to His Majesty."

Zhu Feng nodded and put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand. Only then did Nan Yan realize that they were only listening to Zhu Chengjun's words, while the emperor had been sitting and eating quietly, and the bowl of rice had just been finished. At this moment, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then said, "You guys can eat."

Get up when you're done.

Zhu Chengjun said immediately: "Father, the sons and ministers have to go too!"

Nan Yandao: "You haven't finished your meal yet, what did you do in the past?"

Zhu Feng also looked back, but said with a smile: "Let him go and listen. The time is right and the place is right, and some things are indispensable."

Nan Yan's heart suddenly moved.

And Zhu Chengjun seemed to be afraid that his mother was worried that he would be hungry. He grabbed the bowl and covered his face. After three or two bites, he finished the meal. After swallowing, he said, "Don't worry, concubine mother, I have finished eating, and I am full."

After speaking, he happily followed Zhu Feng and left.

Looking at the backs of their father and son, Nan Yan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

The heart on the side said flatly: "Mother, what are they talking about?"

Nan Yan glanced back at her, but didn't answer the question, only said, "Have you finished eating? Let Chuyun and the others come to clean up after eating."

Xin Pingyuan had already eaten almost, but Zhu Chengjun came back suddenly, and she stayed to accompany her brother to eat two more bites. At this time, she couldn't eat anymore, so someone came over to clean up the dishes, while she and Nan Yan walked over. While sitting down, Ruo Shui immediately served tea.

Xinping still remembered what happened just now. After recalling what Xiao Shunzi said, she asked, "Mother, concubine, just as my father-in-law said, Master Cui came to report the weather. Does the weather have anything to do with us?"

Nan Yan glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's a big deal."

As she said that, she asked Delu, who brought an ice tray to them to cool off, "How many times has it rained here these days?"

When Delu heard the words, he thought for a while, and said, "Returning to the mother's words, there was still a lot of rain in the first few days, but during this time, it has been more than half a month without a drop of rain."

At the same time, Zhu Feng brought Zhu Chengjun to the study.

After hearing the news reported by Cui Yuanmei standing in front of him, Zhu Feng frowned slightly and said, "You mean, according to the annual practice here, there will be a heavy rain recently, and it will last for a long time?"

"Yes,"

Cui Yuanmei said: "Wei Chen also let people observe the astronomical phenomena. There will be heavy rain within three days. If Your Majesty is going to use troops, either quickly or wait until after the rainy season. But during this time, it is difficult to say."

After hearing his words, Zhu Chengjun immediately turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Father!"

At this moment, there was another footstep outside, and after a while, Xiao Shunzi walked in with a document and said, "Your Majesty, General Xiang has sent an urgent report."
