Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

"That's not easy. Whoever drank it, just ask someone to deliver it to them." Dongfang Yu said half-jokingly.

"No, didn't you say that they are full of tricks? If the things I send are good, it will be bad if they get some dirty things." Xia Beibei also laughed.

No matter how good things she has here, those people will not look at them. Just her title as a country girl, her things are already extremely disgusted by them.

As for what she said just now, even if it was a joke, she should be more careful in the future, who knows if it will become true.

"That's true. Those people have no conscience and are dedicated to doing bad things." Dongfang Yu nodded seriously.

Belle is his, and it's hard to guarantee that those people will let her go, especially now that Belle is so powerful that she doesn't even give her father any face.

"Hehe, Dongfang, what they do is not all bad. At least in their own eyes, it's all for their own benefit." Xia Beibei replied with a smile.

Everyone has a different standpoint, and the things they do and the decisions they make are all determined by the individual. If they feel that what they do is right, then it is right, and it is only for their own benefit.

"Hmph, anyway, you will seldom interact with them in the future." Dongfang Yu said with a cold snort.

"I see, can't I avoid them from now on?" Xia Beibei said cheerfully.

Did he think he was willing to deal with those princes and princesses whose eyes were above the top? In her eyes, those people are not as amiable as the crops grown in the field.

"It's good to know." Seeing her answer, Dongfang Yu didn't say anything anymore, but turned his head to look outside, "Come here, bring Belle's dinner to the dining room."

"Yes, servant girl obeys." The maid outside the door immediately turned and left.

"Bei'er, you must be starving after sleeping by now. I'll go eat with you, and Xiaoju will go too." Dongfang Yu glanced at Xia Xiaoju, then looked at Xia Beibei, and said.

"Okay, okay." Xia Xiaoju immediately responded happily.

"You, it's clear that you've been busy all day and haven't had dinner yet?" Xia Beibei gave him an annoyed look and replied.

No need to guess, he must have been busy all day.

Dongfang Yu didn't argue when he heard what he said, but just smiled, "Yuan Cheng's army has a lot of affairs, and it's almost winter again, so a large amount of silver has to be spent. Without my consent, they will spend this winter without my approval." It's sad."

"Didn't they let them grow some crops themselves? Could it be that they still can't grow them according to my method?" Xia Beibei asked.

It doesn't make sense, is it a wild land, really special? Otherwise, whether it's corn or vegetables, you can always grow some, right?

"Let's talk as we go." Dongfang Yu took her hand and walked outside.

"According to your method, you planted a lot of vegetables. Those generals got a lot of vines from somewhere for their own mouths, and planted them in the ground. They said that the grapes bear a lot of fruit. , everyone can eat it."

I really didn't laugh him to death.

But the land belongs to everyone, and they can plant whatever they want, as long as they can grow crops, and if the grapes can produce bunches of fruit, it is considered a great achievement for them.

"Growing grapes?" Xia Beibei raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah, Belle, the army is no different than ordinary people, let alone fruits, even steamed buns and pickles, you have to eat sparingly, and there are only a few meals of meat throughout the year." Dongfang Yu sighed softly.

"Then I'll go and have a look." Xia Beibei said.

For so many years, there has never been any major battles on the frontier guarded by the wilderness, and the army has only occasionally fought a small fight, which is not a big movement.

And such a large army needs food, clothing, and money, which is not a small sum.

...

"Dongfang, I remember you said that Yuan Chengjun is in Yuancheng near the Thousand Layer Realm, right?" When they arrived at the dining hall, several people sat down to eat together, because they were used to it in Xiajia Village, and Dongfang Yu even put the uneaten Wu Shisan and Feng Xing'er also called over for dinner.

During the meal, Xia Beibei asked suddenly.

"En." Dongfang Yu responded, "Yuancheng is not far from the Thousand-Layered Realm, and it takes only half a stick of incense to ride a horse."

"How many people are there in Yuancheng?" Xia Beibei asked.

There should be many people willing to live in a place where the army is stationed, not to mention Dongfang Yu's character, the army must be strictly governed, and the people must live well in Yuancheng.

"No." Dongfang Yu replied immediately.

"No?" Xia Beibei frowned, how could she not?

"Ninth girl, you don't know that Yuancheng has always been the place where the barbarian army was stationed. People rarely live there. Even if they do, they live far away from the army. There are many things to do." Wu Shisan immediately answered Xia Beibei's doubts for Dongfang Yu.

"That is to say, the entire Yuan City, all the houses, all the land, mountains, water, and fields are owned by the army?" Xia Beibei asked again.

"You can also say that, Belle." Dongfang Yu nodded.

"There is no shop?" Xia Beibei asked.

This is impossible, right? Even if it is a place under the jurisdiction of the army, there must always be some people doing business. Soldiers will always buy some things they usually need, or if there are any old people in the family, buy some things and ask someone to bring them to the old people and children, right?

This is still allowed in the army. As far as she knows, soldiers also have holidays, right?

"Yes, there are restaurants, money houses, cloth shops, bathhouses, etc., everything is available, and there are even escort agencies. However, these are all my properties." Dongfang Yu replied.

Xia Beibei: "..."

Well, she really underestimated Dongfang Yu, and paid the soldiers clearly, but in fact, if they wanted to buy something, the money would go into Dongfang Yu's own pocket.

But this is also true. Whoever earns money is not earning it. If you earn it back and distribute it to them, it will save you a lot of money. This is indeed a good way.

"Then why don't you find some people to build a farm for raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks? There must be water in Yuancheng. Get some fish to raise them. In the future, the army's meat will be enough." She suggested.

Since it is self-sufficient, it should be done more thoroughly. The cost that can be saved must be saved. After all, the cost of an army is not a small amount. Buying a vegetable and radish every day costs tens of thousands of catties. Calculate it.

"That's right, why didn't I think of it, Belle is still smart." Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a hint of excitement on his face as he slammed the chopsticks on the table.

"According to what you said before, it is an industrial chain, isn't it? Raising poultry can produce..."

"Stop, Dongfang, we are eating, take it easy, ah." Hearing that Dongfang Yu wanted to continue, she could bear it, and was afraid that the other people would not even be able to eat after hearing this.

"Well, I'll talk about this later, later." Dongfang Yu responded repeatedly.

"However, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea, this is absolutely right. If you have good resources, how can you not use them? After a few days, I will go to Yuancheng to take a look and make a good plan for you. When the plan comes out, it is guaranteed to be absolutely self-sufficient." Xia Beibei said, patting her chest.

Even if you can't be self-sufficient, at least the most basic aspect of eating can be greatly improved, right? The soldiers can also work harder for the East.

"Okay." Dongfang Yu responded with a full mouth.

...

"My lord, you have to make decisions for Jionger and the others, and you can't favor the prince." In Dongfang Yunhao's study, Lian Ji put down a cup of sweet soup in front of Dongfang Yunhao, and looked at it carefully. He glanced at him, showing all kinds of grievances, and said to him pitifully.

Dongfang Yunhao frowned when he heard this, put down the book in his hand with some displeasure, and looked at Lian Ji.

"Where did the son offend you again?" He specially emphasized the word offended.

From the last time his eldest son came back to this time to take Xia Beibei into the palace, he could clearly feel that Yu'er's uncompromising temperament had become stronger, leaving him no room to even refuse.

Just like yesterday, Yu'er, the son of the eldest son, directly brought evidence from Yefu and put Lian Hongchun in prison. He didn't even say anything about it.

However, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, even Hong Chun's crime has solid evidence, no one can prove it.

Although his temperament has become stronger, Yu'er is not as careless as before when doing things, and he just does it savagely, which makes him gratified.

"This... my lord, look at what you said, how can the prince offend my concubine, it's too late for him to hide from my concubine." Lian Ji twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard what he said.

That guy Dongfang Yu said that he should not be offended. She received the news early in the morning that her nephew Hong Chun had already been taken to prison.

She knew that this was the end of the matter, and it was useless to make trouble anymore. Instead, it would put the prince in a difficult position between her and Dongfang Yu, and she would become bored with her.

However, she had to ask about Jiong'er.

"It's good that you know, dignified son, you actually need to hide from your aunt, which shows how you treat him on weekdays." Dongfang Yunhao didn't give Lian Ji a good look, and asked in a cold voice.

A few months ago, Lian Ji ordered someone to beat and kill an innocent girl in the mansion. After being quarreled by an old couple to beg for her daughter, bad things about her came up one after another, and he was about to lose it. Be patient.

If it wasn't for Jiong'er's sake, how could he tolerate Lian Ji's nonsense? But she is also good at crying, and sometimes he has no choice but to follow her words.

But yesterday Yu'er had enough to say, how long will she be at the mercy of Lian Ji? Is he tall too?

"My lord, it's the prince who is hiding from his concubine, what's the matter with the concubine?" Lian Ji asked nonchalantly.

Dongfang Yu himself was not used to seeing her walking in front of him, and she was still not happy to see him, it would be better not to see him, so as not to be annoyed by him.
