The sky was full of clouds and soon it was dark.

"Madam, there is a village ten miles away. Let's spend the night in the village tonight," Xu Wu said Every time he drives, Xu Wu will send someone to find out the road conditions ahead. Then decide where to lunch and where to rest.

Yuxi with two children, it's impossible to let the children eat cold food, and Yuxi's body is not delicious, not cold food, so we have to open fire at noon. Except for the first two days, Xu Wu will make people prepare for the things ahead. When Yuxi arrives there, he can basically eat it directly. With more people and thirty good horses, it's so convenient.

Yuxi said with a smile, "you can arrange it." Xu Wu is very thorough. He didn't let yuxicao have half a heart on the way.

The carriage is very slow, especially to the rough place. Even if Xu Wu is well arranged, when the weather is good, he can only walk a hundred miles a day. If it rains heavily, he will rest in place. I also brought a tent, otherwise I would not be able to live in it.

A quarter of an hour later, it began to rain. Although it was drizzle, Yuxi still closed the window, but jujube climbed up to see the outside.

Yuxi holds jujube in his arms and says with a smile, "this girl is really a monkey. There is no peace for a moment." A good move, a too quiet, but also a headache.

It rained, it was dark and the road was hard to walk. It took me half an hour to get out of the village. The roads in the village are all paths, and the carriages can't get in. The carriage was placed on the side of the road. Yuxi got out of the carriage with liu'er wrapped tightly.

Hongdou umbrella Yuxi and Hongqi support Yuxi. As for jujube, Xu Wu in coir raincoat held it in his arms. Of course, Xu Wu has an umbrella on his head.

Zhuangzi also only has two big brick houses, one is still in the middle. It's all on loan.

When Yuxi arrived, mother Quan and mother Bai had been busy for most of the day. Who is the hardest of the party? It's only Bai Ma and Quan ma. White mother is responsible for Yuxi and her children's three meals a day, while Quan mother is responsible for making nutritious and delicious food for Liu ER and jujube. There is no problem with the two children up to now. Mother Quan has made great contributions.

After dinner, it was already half past Xu time. Today's road is relatively flat and not bumpy. Yuxi sleeps on the carriage. This meeting, Yuxi energetic, toward Xu Wu said: "will be called over, I want to ask him something."

Xu Wu was a little surprised and said, "madam, if you want me to do anything, just tell me." After half a month's driving, liu'er has been fine all the time. He is relieved that he has not suffered from head fever.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I want to ask about zhengchungeng in Xiali and the living conditions of people in the village." She has lived in Zhuangzi, and she has a general idea of the life of the farmers. It's just that she wants to know more about it, which has a foundation.

Li Zheng is coming soon. He is an old man with white hair and beard. When I saw Yuxi, Li was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed three heads to Yuxi, saying, "my wife is lucky and healthy." I was still shaking when I said this.

When Xu Wu borrowed the house, he was explaining their identity to Li. Because of this, when Li was seeing Yuxi, he would do such a big gift.

Yuxi motioned to Xu Wu to help people up and said with a kind face: "old man, I have not thanked you for using your house!"

Li Zheng didn't dare to look up and said, "I dare not. It's our blessing that madam can borrow our house." The wife of the general lives in his house, which is a kind of honor.

Yuxi smiled, but he didn't talk to Li Zheng politely. He directly asked about the situation in the village: "how many families are there in the village now?"

Li Zheng said, "there used to be 86 families in our Chuang Tzu. These years, life has been very difficult. Now there are only 41 families and 229 people left." There are already forty-one families left.

Yuxi asked about the next spring ploughing and the situation of opening up wasteland.

Li Zheng is also an old farmer. Only when he is old and fair can he recommend Li Zheng. Li Zheng wiped his eyes and said, "the most wasteland in the village is twelve mu, and the least is three mu. At the time of sowing, they all went to the government and got good seeds, and they all cultivated. This year, don't worry about starving. " The government not only encouraged the opening of wasteland and the use of good crops and cattle, but also reduced taxes. As long as you are not lazy, you can have a full meal.

Hearing this, Yuxi nodded his head. Looking at the governor of Linzhou is also useful. He continued to ask many questions, and Li Zhengyi answered them all.

When Li was leaving, Yuxi's face was heavy. There are 229 people in the village, only over 50 young and middle-aged people. The rest are old, weak, women and children. That is to say, the strong labor force only accounts for more than one fifth. The number is astonishing.

Looking at Yuxi's appearance, Xu Wu said, "madam, it's March, and there are food everywhere. As long as you are not lazy, you will not die of hunger. When the grain comes in the summer, they don't have to worry about starving any more. "

Yuxi shook his head and said, "the grain output is too low. If there is a natural disaster, the people will not be satisfied." At this meeting, Yuxi naturally thought of the potato Mr. Chen sent her. It's just that Tian Yang hasn't come back from going to Fujian for such a long time. It's estimated that something went wrong on the way. When Tian Yang was not back, he sent others to Fujian to have a look.

Xu Wu said, "madam, I have to go tomorrow. Let's have a rest earlier." No one can avoid natural and man-made disasters. It's no use worrying, madam.

"Yu Xi nodded:" to Linzhou City, we stay in Linzhou city for two days It's only a hundred miles from Linzhou City, and you can get there the day after tomorrow.

Xu Wu nodded, "OK." He was obedient to Yuxi's arrangement. Let Yuxi use it. It's a good time.

Mother Quan looked at Yuxi with a thick book in her arms and wrote while reading. All mammy sighed, then handed the warm water to Yuxi and said, "don't look, go to bed earlier!" It is also inconvenient in the car, otherwise it is estimated that books are put down in the car. Well, I don't know how to teach a bookworm.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, Mammy, take the baby to bed first!" Finish saying, drink up the water, and swallow the residue in the water. It's also because every day I drink meat and Ganoderma lucidum. After walking for half a month, Yuxi looks better than when he came out.

Mother Quan said helplessly, "what do you say you are still doing so desperately?" Up to now, Yuxi as long as firmly grasp Yunqing's heart to take care of the two children and then take care of the internal affairs, it will become. It's not necessary to work so hard.

Yuxi said with a smile, "it takes a lot of thought to deal with the internal and external troubles." If you know more, you won't be fooled by others.

Mother Quan said, "Yuxi, women can't be too strong. Let the general handle the affairs outside." In terms of strategy, Yuxi has left Yunqing for several streets. However, mother Quan did not agree with Yuxi's involvement in the affairs outside. Women are too strong, strong enough to overpower men, it's easy for couples to turn to strangers. Because men, do not like his wife better than him.

Yuxi smiled and shook his head. "Husband and wife are in the same heart, and their interests are breaking gold." Yunqing is not good at government affairs. She can make up for this. Yuxi believes that as long as their husband and wife work together, they will be able to manage the northwest well. When the situation in the northwest is stable, it's time to find the Song family and the Empress Dowager.

Mother Quan said with a face on her face, "Yuxi, men don't like women interfering in other things. If you insist on this, in the future, if there is a dispute between the husband and wife, it will certainly be exploited by others. " Mother Quan thinks that the most important thing for a woman is her husband and family. If other women take advantage of the situation, they will pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.

Yuxi smiled and said, "this is with Rui." Active to, and their hand to, but very different.

Mother Quan reflexively asked, "really? Is Yunqing taking the initiative to let you get involved in external affairs? "

Yuxi said with a smile: "He Rui was impatient with things outside. Seeing that I'm good at it, he let me deal with them. In this way, I won't be bored in the future. " If yu hee make blind and disorderly conjectures, she will not know what she will feel.

Mother Quan frowned and said, "if you deal with things outside, you will have a lot of gossip." In the eyes of men, a woman needs only to manage her internal affairs, and she needs to step in and nurture her children. Yuxi is now involved in the outside affairs, which is not a general matter. Will Yunqing's subordinates have no opinion. Much said, the parties will always be affected.

Yuxi is still very confident in Yunqing, saying, "He Rui is not a man who can change his mind in a few words." Yunqing is a very principled person. If he is reasonable, he will listen. He will not listen if he stirs up a quarrel.

"No matter what, husband and children are the most important things, and rights are the secondary things," said Quan. You must be clear about this priority. "

Yuxi said with a smile, "don't worry, Mammy. I've got the right measure." Their husband and wife are hoping to manage the northwest well. If there is such a big premise, there will be no conflict. Without conflict, the relationship between husband and wife will not be affected.

"When the emperor married me, I was very worried," said Quan. Now, it's also a rumor misunderstanding. " Men dote on their wives a lot, but it's the first time they've come to this point.

Hearing this, Yuxi could not hide his smile: "yes! It's my blessing to marry hori. " She still wanted to escape marriage at the beginning! Fortunately, I didn't escape from marriage, or I'll regret it all my life.

All mammy also no longer urged Yuxi, said: "then you read the book, I will take care of Liu ER and jujube." Mother Quan gave her two children twelve points of thought.

Yuxi did not read any more, but fell into deep thought. Now they only occupy two counties in Xihai. If they want to occupy all of them, they will have to fight again. War means that the dead are still as few as possible in the northwest today: "what method can we use to achieve the goal at the lowest cost?" It's a real brain drain.

After half the hour of Hai, Yuxi is still awake.

Mother Quan had no choice but to walk over and say, "go to bed now, and go on your way tomorrow." I don't know how Yuxi is so interested in these things.

Cicadas are singing outside, but Yuxi is sleeping very well.
