He still remembers how song Xijiao disliked storytellers' exaggeration and flattered Meng Xinghe, but he did not know whether she would still think that way if she had seen Meng Xinghe with her own eyes.
After all, even he has to admit that Meng Xinghe has the capital to make women fall in love with.
After reading the memorial, Cangwu picked up the pen and drew a big cross on it, which was the meaning of rejection.
Until the sky began to shine, Duke yuan came in and said, "Your Highness, it's time to prepare for the early morning."
Cang Wu just stood up, his face showed a little tired look.
It was not until daybreak when a group of geese flew over the top of the palace.
Today, although Cangwu has replaced the emperor in handling most of the government affairs, the emperor came to the court in person in this early Dynasty, but after he finished, he would immediately go back to the palace to sleep.
"Your Highness, eat first."
Yuan Gonggong saw Cangwu go straight to the imperial study, and quickly reminded him again.
Cangwu steps a meal, nods head, fold body to walk into warm Pavilion.
As soon as they took their seats, the maids put plates of delicacies on the table. They were only early meals. There were as many as 30 dishes. At a glance, they were green, red, green and orange in all colors. They were particularly beautiful just looking at them.
He had no appetite.
Many eunuchs and palace ladies stood at the table, each with a pair of chopsticks, and nervously looked at his eyes and expression. As long as he took a more look at a dish, the maid in charge of the dish would immediately bring the dish to him.
This way of eating has lasted for a long time. This is the rule of the palace. When he becomes emperor, the rules and regulations will be more complicated and more exquisite.
He should have gotten used to it slowly.
However, he became more and more irritable.
He missed the fish in sour soup, boiled meat and lion's head made by song Xijiao. He also missed song Xijiao's flower branches on the table and fruit wine poured into the bowl. He also missed song Xijiao sitting beside him, staring at him with his eyes, butting him with his small mouth, and kicking him under the table from time to time
"Xuanqiao Mu enters the palace."
"Eh?" Yuan Gong was just staring at the food on the table, looking for the dishes he might like to eat. Suddenly, hearing this question, he could not help but be stunned. Then he said, "I will do it. Your highness will eat something to cushion his stomach. After eating, Lord Qiao will come."
"No, no appetite."
Cangwu threw the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and walked out of the greenhouse.
Yuan Gonggong sighed and looked at the dishes on the table. He was worried. Which dish made the prince think of the princess again? If you don't eat, you have to meet Mr. Qiao. It's really If there is news about the crown prince, don't announce it. Lord Qiao will report to the palace.
What's the use of calling in like that?
If it goes on like this, how can the body of his highness bear it.
Yuan Gonggong shook his head and had to go out to deliver a message.
……
Back to the residence, Meng Xinghe unfolded those pieces of paper and looked up again.
It explains in detail how song Xijiao planned to cultivate land, how to dig canals to divert water, and how to cultivate potato, radish and other crops.
However, it takes a lot of manpower to implement these methods.
She wanted to borrow his soldiers.
Dong Dong, Chen Yu knocked on the door and came in. After looking at Meng Xinghe, he sighed.
Meng Xinghe immediately frowned: "not said many times, do not sigh in front of my face."
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "it's no good if you don't sigh. I've inquired about the counties and towns nearby. There's no surplus food at all. The surplus grain of the poor family was robbed by the rich family, and the rich family was robbed by Wang Yuhe's people. There was nothing left. This winter is really hard! Unless, we fight with Wang Yuhe immediately and grab the grain and grass there for emergency
Meng Xinghe frowned, and it is obviously not the best time to fight with Wang Yuhe.
When the time comes, both sides will be hurt. In case the Fu Su people take advantage of the weakness, it will not be worth the loss.
If you want to fight, you should be clever and exchange the smallest loss for the greatest benefit.
But not fighting, it means suffering with Wang Yuhe's people. It's not a big problem how many years Wang Yuhe has accumulated for military grain reserves.
But what about him?
As soon as they came back from the capital, they didn't have much grain to carry with them. In addition, the consumption of several months along the way made the rest even less.
Meng Xinghe knocked his finger on the table and asked, "when can we hold our military food at the latest?"
Chen Yu pondered: "I'm afraid it will only last more than two months."
"More than two months..."
Meng Xinghe picked up the pieces of bamboo paper, found one of them, and looked down. One row of them was reading: if the light is good, potatoes can be planted every two and a half months, and four crops a year can be planted.
In other words, if he sends someone to help song Xijiao grow potatoes, they will be able to eat the first crop of potatoes in two and a half months.Although the quantity is not much, it can at least solve the urgent need.
"what's what's going on today?" starting from today, two hundred people are sent out of the army every day to find Xi Jiao on the ridge of the south of the city and listen to her command, so she can do whatever she wants.
Chen Yu was stunned and looked at Meng Xinghe in disbelief: "general?"
What's that called?
Soldiers in the army are going to fight on horseback. How can they listen to the command of a girl. General, is this not the evil of song Xijiao, began to act recklessly?
"Come and have a look."
Seeing the shocked look in Chen Yu's eyes, Meng Xinghe knew that he wanted to misunderstand, so he patted the table and handed the pieces of paper to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu took over and looked at it. His eyes widened and his face was surprised: "whose character is this, so ugly?"
Meng Xinghe bent his mouth: "guess whose?"
Chen Yu only looked at the first five words and guessed it. It was written on it: Meng Xinghe read it personally.
Of all the people he knew, the only one who dared to call the general's name was Miss Song.
He patiently looked at the thick pile of paper, and frowned with some doubts: "although she said it well, it was only her expectation after all. Moreover, she was the daughter of a businessman and not the daughter of a peasant family. How could she understand those things in the field? The one who digs ditches and canals for water diversion and the other for reclaiming wasteland is not so good at it. Can she succeed? "
Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows and said, "she can't do it, can you?"? I gave you so long time to go out to buy food. What about the grain you bought? Although she looks unreliable, she has cultivated more than 70 mu of land in a few days, which is much better than you! "
Chen Yu was stunned, more than 70 mu of land?
She just moved out a few days ago. She has cultivated so much land so quickly. This girl is very active.
"Well, then I'll tell her to go on as soon as I believe her."
