Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

The title of Zhennan Jiedushi is very useful.

Now the number of joint villages has reached forty-five. Not only the heroes from outside came to join Ma Mingwen, but also various villages in the mountains sent letters of surrender.

Su Qingyu accepted whatever was inside the Jiangxi Mirror, and confiscated whatever was outside the boundary.

With the name of his godfather as the Jiedu envoy, Su Qingyu led his people to develop the mountain economy in a big way.

The second and third phases of the market town project have been started one after another.

The area of ​​the entire market town has more than doubled.

Ma Mingwen has many soldiers and horses, and they need food and drink, which is a huge number every month.

Renzhou alone is not enough to support the population of seven states.

Having successfully grown grain last year, Ma Mingwen asked Pei Nian to take charge of the general affairs of seven states and help the other six states grow grain.

The mountains of Qizhou were entrusted to Su Qingyu, and she was asked to lead the mountain people to dig out the treasures in the mountains.

Those who can grow grain will grow grain, and those who can't will grow tea or something else to develop other economies.

Su Qingnao also knew that Ma Mingwen was under great pressure, but now that she had Ma Mingwen's protection, it was easier for her to do things. I also want to save more money.

Who doesn’t want to save money.

So I am very busy every day.

On Ma Mingwen's side, he won seven states and was granted the title of envoy to Zhennan. He no longer had to wander around and had no fixed residence. He set up his residence in Raozhou, which was only one state away from Renzhou.

In view of Wang Hu's experience and lessons, he also knew that as a general, he could not just know how to kill, and he could not understand economic and general affairs.

Wang Hu has been in trouble several times to the point where the army has no food. This cannot happen to him.

Fortunately, he has Pei Nian and Su Qingyu.

Therefore, they strongly support whatever they need.

Ma Mingwen's military advisor Zheng Yanfang didn't know much about Pei Nian and Su Qingyu, so he was a little worried about Ma Mingwen trusting them so much.

I feel that the power of the two should be dispersed. Centralization of power can easily make one person more powerful. If one person is powerful and the other party is mainly against the guest, it will be more troublesome.

Ma Mingwen didn't want to hear it: "One of them is a good friend I grew up with, and the other is my goddaughter. She has provided food supplies to my army several times, and she is no different from my own daughter."

"But we still need our people..."

"Our people? Who are my Ma Mingwen's people?" His beloved, wife and children were all dead. Which one is his?

"They are my people."

When Zheng Yanfang saw that Ma Mingwen was sad, he stopped talking.

After a while, seeing Ma Mingwen immersed in his past thoughts again, he had to interrupt.

"Marshal, before we were just dissatisfied with Shuo Dynasty and had small fights, but now we have real power, some people have food, and we have sophisticated weapons..."

Ma Mingwen waved his hand and interrupted him.

“I didn’t think too much about it.

"The marshal can't think about it now. Just talk about the marshal's back... Many generals have asked about the young master..."

Ma Mingwen knew what he meant.

I also know what everyone means.

In the land of seven states, Zhennan Jiedushi, an army of more than 100,000 people, and not even a single heir behind him.

"Yan Fang, I know what you mean."

"Then, Marshal, why...Mrs. Cui is in her prime of youth..."

Ma Mingwen waved to him. Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Zheng Yanfang had to stop talking, clasped his fists and left.

Doesn’t Ma Mingwen know that Cui Yuying is in her prime, young and beautiful?

When his wife chose Cui Yuying to serve him, she naturally had to choose from thousands of people.

But what the lady didn't know was that she was in poor health at that time, and after giving birth to a child, he was afraid that she would have to give birth to another child if she had a hard time conceiving again.

Later, his wife kept talking about wanting a daughter, which is why he felt so guilty.

And he has no feelings for Cui Yuying between men and women.

When Shen Liniang was around, she was the only one in his eyes and heart. When Shen Liniang died, his heart also died and he followed her.

Ma Mingwen returned to the backyard from the front hall, where Cui Yuying was waiting on the porch with a lantern.

"master."

"Well, why don't you rest?"

"Master hasn't slept yet, how can I sleep?"

"Don't wait for me. I have a lot of things to do and I'll be busy all night long."

"yes."

After saying that, he followed Ma Mingwen, took a few steps wrong, and showed him the way.

Ma Mingwen walked in front with his hands behind his back. Cui Yuying looked at him and raised the lantern in his hand: "Master, look, the candle in this lantern was sent by Qing Lao, and it is very unique."

Ma Mingwen paused and looked at the lantern next to him.

"Did Qing Lao send it to you?"

"Yes. I gave a lot of them. They are of various sizes. What's strange is that they are made into various shapes, thick, thin, round, square, tall, short, and in various colors. Some even have several colors. . There is also a scented candle, which makes the whole room smell great.”

"I'll carry it." Ma Mingwen held the lantern in his hand. Peeked into the lampshade.

"Qing Lao is interested."

"No. With her at the rear, not only is the army no longer short of food, but the home is no longer short of lights and candles, and there is endless mountain food to eat."

After hearing this, Ma Mingwen curled up his lips and felt a little happy.

Follow Cui Yuying's footsteps and show her the way.

Cui Yuying felt warm in her heart.

He looked at Ma Mingwen and then said: "Qing Lao gave us a lot of things. Before we were in the army, we didn't have anything good to give her. Now all the states have sent a lot of rare things. I want to pack some and give them to her." Qinglao and Xiaobao will send it."

"Well, tomorrow you take people to the warehouse to pick up some things for her mother and son. Now her parents, brothers and sisters are also with her, so you can also pick some for them."

"Don't worry, I will."

"Last time I received a letter from my mistress, saying that Xiaobao was very happy with the pony that the master sent me. He was just a little old, and he wanted to hit the horse and gallop away. He refused to sleep at night. He thought of sleeping with the pony in the stable. No matter how hard Qing Lao pulls him, he refuses to go back to the house. I just want to laugh when I think about it. "

After hearing this, Ma Mingwen laughed softly.

"This kid. I heard that being stubborn can be a headache. Last time he insisted on riding a horse with me in the mountains. He is quite courageous at such a young age." Ma Mingwen raised the corner of his mouth.

Cui Yuying is looking forward to giving Ma Mingwen a child, and naturally she likes children very much.

I talked to Ma Mingwen about Xiaobao all the way.

"Go to the warehouse tomorrow to see if there are any books suitable for children to play with. Pick some up for Xiaobao and send them to me. Then go to my study to see if there are any books suitable for children's enlightenment. Xiaobao is already over four years old, so he is right. It’s time for enlightenment. The mountains are closed, so don’t delay him.”

"yes."

The two slowly returned to the bedroom.

Cui Yuying made the bed, turned around and said softly to Ma Ming, who was sitting in the chair: "Master, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

Ma Mingwen glanced at her. Under the light, Cui Yuying's pink cheeks seemed to be covered with a layer of gentle and lingering light.

Ma Mingwen hurriedly turned his head and went straight to bed.

Cui Yuying blew out the candle and then got into bed.

Seeing Ma Mingwen sleeping on his back, he thought for a while, stretched out his catkins and hugged him.
