Chapter 1782

Of course, Zhuge Xiangxue can also use the coins in the treasury to purchase food and other items on the market.

But...in that way, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause...

Moreover, once too much food is purchased, it must cause food prices to skyrocket, harming the interests of civilians... That would be more than worth the gain.

What made Zhuge Xiangxue particularly depressed was that the grain in the granary was only enough to raise soldiers for one year.

Someone said, isn’t this enough??

Don't get me wrong, this one year of raising soldiers refers to the standing military strength of Jingzhou at this stage.If Zhuge Xiangxue intends to expand his armaments, then... this amount of grain will not last for several months...

After all, if you recruit soldiers, you have to feed people. If you can’t get enough food, who will serve you as a soldier??

However, although the food issue is more urgent... but for Zhuge Xiangxue, it is not a big deal... She already has a plan in her belly, so she can only postpone her recruitment for a while.

The food problem can be solved within three years by using military reclamation and farming in fertile land.

Three years, for Zhuge Xiangxue, still can afford to wait.

However, what makes Zhuge Xiangxue most depressed is... now the standing force of the nine counties in Jingzhou is less than 100,000...

This number of 100,000 is still the value obtained by adding 20,000 blood dragon riders...

This... is a bit of a pit...

Moreover, many soldiers lack training...

Zhou Ye used these soldiers as martial arts...

This makes Zhuge Xiangxue depressed...

With a snap, she threw the bamboo slip in her hand on the table... got up and walked towards the back house.

"I have seen Mrs. Xiangxue..."

As soon as she walked into the back house, she ran into Feng Yiwei who was on duty...

Zhuge Xiangxue’s identity in the back house is no secret, especially Zhou Ye said that although Zhuge Xiangxue was not married to him, she was already his wife, so Feng Yiwei called her Mrs. Xiangxue... …

Regarding Feng Yiwei's name, Zhuge Xiangxue also acquiesced... She directly asked: "Where is the lord at this time?"

"Returning to Mrs. Xiangxue, the master should be in Mrs. Zhuge's room at this time..."

"Just right, I'm going to find him..."

Chapter 2165

Chapter two hundred and sixty five

Patriarch's Mansion————Housing......

At this time, the women were gathered in the room of Sister Zhuge, and together with Sister Zhuge, they sew a tabard for Zhou Ye.

Speaking of which, women workers are almost essential skills for women in this era.

From the princes of Gongqing to the people of Li Min.

Every woman has to learn female workers from an early age... so that after she gets married, she won't be rejected by her husband.

After all, there are no so-called ready-to-wear shops in this era. Under normal circumstances, the clothes worn by the men from the inside to the outside are all made by these women stitch by stitch.

At this moment, sister Zhuge is sewing clothes for her family together with the other sisters.

To be honest, this is actually unnecessary... After all, Zhou Ye really did not miss those clothes. The clothes in his wristband were enough for him to change the pattern back and forth for decades.

You know, the women in the Marvel World, when they have time, their favorite thing to do is to sweep the streets, and their greatest joy in sweeping the streets is to dress up their own men... All kinds of clothes are enough for him to wear for ten thousand years.

However, even though they know that their men do not lack clothes to wear, these women still enthusiastically help their men sew clothes.

To put it bluntly, this is a sense of satisfaction...

Seeing their men wearing their own clothes stitched one by one, they are full of sense of accomplishment.

Women are busy sewing clothes, but what is Zhou Ye doing??

Of course I'm doing a model.

After all, the clothes were sewn for him. How could he be absent??

From time to time, the girls would put the sewn semi-finished products on Zhou Ye and make gestures to see if they fit.

For this, Zhou Ye is painful and happy...

He really doesn’t want to be a model here, but this is after all the hearts and minds of the women... He is not easy to refuse, so... When Zhou Ye saw Zhuge Xiangxue coming to look for him, his face suddenly leaked. A look of overjoyed joy... "Xiang Xue... Why do you want me?"

"Master...please call me Kong Ming!" Zhuge Xiangxue arched her hand at Zhou Ye.

"Hehe, sister, don't put on your military master airs in the back house..."

"Yes, sister Xiangxue, there are no outsiders in the back house, so stop pretending to be a man..."

"...This, well, everything is just as the sisters said!" Hearing the words of the sisters, Zhuge Xiangxue had no choice but to answer...

She really likes Zhou Ye, so it is extremely important to have a good relationship with the sisters.

If you are too maverick, then you are completely self-defeating from the people...

"Lang Jun, I have some military affairs and government affairs, and I want to ask you..." Zhuge Xiangxue asked Zhou Ye, "Should we find a clean place and have a good chat?"

"It's so good!" Zhou Ye was about to get rid of this task of modeling for many women. Hearing Zhuge Xiangxue's suggestion, he naturally responded immediately."It's better to go to my study room!"

Having said this, Zhou Ye did not wait for the women to open their mouths to stay, and grabbed Zhuge Xiangxue's little hand, and walked outside...

"Hey, husband..."

"Langjun..."

Seeing that his model was about to run away, the girls suddenly wanted to call him...

However, Zhou Ye ran too fast. Before they could speak, Zhou Ye had pulled Zhuge Xiangxue and disappeared into the room...

"Now, Lang Jun is gone... how to sew this clothing!"

"Don't be afraid, I just remembered the size of my husband..."

"Hey? Sister Yueying, since you remembered the size of your husband, why do you still let your husband be here to model our sisters?"

"Haha... Let Lang Jun be a model for us in the house, better than letting him go out and do nothing to harm other people's homes..."
