After struggling for so many days, even Liu Deng's body couldn't bear it any longer. He went back to tell his mother that he was safe. He didn't even say a few words, but he was already yawning.
"Deng'er, you are now carrying the burden of the entire Dai Kingdom on your own. You must take care of your health!"
"Don't worry, mother, my child is just a little tired from traveling recently. He will be fine as long as he takes a nap!"
Seeing the Queen Mother's distressed look, Liu Deng felt warm in his heart.
"Originally, mother shouldn't have said it, but you've left that Hun princess aside for so long, so it's not a big deal..."
"Well......"
Liu Deng was really embarrassed now. Only then did he remember that he still had a ghost woman in his palace.
However, Liu Deng was really embarrassed as to how to deal with this woman. He had been so busy recently that he had already forgotten about this woman.
Thinking about it now, Liu Deng still had a headache. The Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty were feuding. Over the years, the total number of casualties on both sides was probably hundreds of thousands.
Especially the people of the Han Dynasty. Over the years, until now, at least hundreds of thousands of people of the Han Dynasty have been taken captive by the Huns to the grasslands. They work as herders and work hard every day, and in the end they can only get a small piece of food. Soured mutton.
With such a background, Liu Deng really didn't know how he should face such a woman. If she was a woman from the Han Dynasty, he would just accept her by his side.
But he is a Huns, and she is different from ordinary Huns women. She has actually led troops on the battlefield. If a woman like this stays by her side, she will cut off her head every night. Know……
But if we want to send this woman back to the Xiongnu grassland, let alone Liu Deng, even the Han court would not agree.
"No matter what, it's always a woman. It's not a problem for you to keep people locked up in the palace like this! It's getting late today, so I won't force you. You can think about it yourself when you have free time... …”
After hearing what his mother said, Liu Deng was really relieved.
After coming out of the Queen Mother's palace, Liu Deng went straight back to his room to rest.
Running back and forth all the way, he didn't even have time to take a shower before he fell asleep and didn't know who was going on.
When Liu Deng opened his eyes the next day, it was already noon the next day.
After getting up, washing up, and eating something, Liu Deng once again led the convoy and escorts toward the Hutuo Valley.
Dai's food crisis now seems inevitable.
Especially around Jinyang, the situation is becoming more and more serious. Ordinary civilians now rely almost entirely on the relief grain distributed by the government to survive.
However, the amount of food distributed by the court is really limited. Fortunately, the mountains are still lush and green. Farm women and the children at home have to get up early in the morning to dig wild vegetables. The mountains around Jinyang are now everywhere as soon as it breaks. Groups of women and children.
No matter how sad Liu Deng feels about this kind of thing, he has no other way now. All he can do is look at the harvest of the Hutuo Valley this year.
The imperial court is also fighting a series of battles, and now it has to bear the burden of food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops.
What's more, although it is really hateful for those princes and kings to rebel, the people under their rule are innocent after all. In fact, most of the rebels were coerced here by them.
By the time this war is over, the territories of several vassal states will surely be littered with corpses and mourning victims.
Taking the Kingdom of Wu as an example, almost all men between the ages of eighteen and fifty in the country were forcibly recruited into the army. Now, all the remaining men are old, weak, sick and disabled.
Winter is coming soon. Whether it is Wu or Chu, they have spent a lot of money to raise food and grass this time.
Almost all the food of the people has been plundered by them. They are desperate to fight, but the court has no way to do this!
Facing millions of people who are crying for food, is it possible that the emperor can still send people to watch them starve to death?
After the disaster, there will be a large amount of food distributed everywhere. If you want to rely on the emperor to help you in a short period of time, it is basically impossible. Liu Deng can only target the remaining food in the hands of merchants from other countries. Food.
"Your Majesty!"
When they heard that Liu Deng was coming to inspect again, both Su Jian and Zou Yang were extremely excited.
Others are having a lively fight outside, but they are trapped in a valley. Until now, not even a single enemy has been seen, let alone fighting.
Seeing everyone eating a lot, they were watching dryly from the side, and finally waited until Liu Deng came over. The two of them now really had a lot to say to Liu Deng.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two. I know you have a lot to say now, and I know what you probably want to say, but don't worry, your efforts here are definitely no less than what they put in to kill the generals and capture the flag on the battlefield. After these things grow up, you will know the benefits of this thing!"
Seeing the two of them hesitating to speak, Liu Deng smiled slightly. How could he not know what they were thinking?
It's just that the chaos of the Six Kingdoms came so unexpectedly.
Therefore, Liu Deng was caught off guard, and Mu Hegu was too important. Whether it was Su Jian or Zou Yang, they were both very careful.
After much thought, Liu Deng found that it was most appropriate to leave them here.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although the two of them felt a little unhappy and had doubts about Liu Deng's words, they could only listen at this time.
"Okay, let's take this king to see the results of your hard work during this period!"
Liu Deng reached out and patted Su Jian on the shoulder, then motioned for him to lead the way.
It's a mule or a horse. It's time to take it out for a walk now. How much will the output of large-scale cultivation of this thing shrink? Liu Deng was also very confused and could only resign himself to fate at this time.
"promise!"
Speaking of going to check on their hard work during this period, Su Jian and Zou Yang looked at each other and immediately felt a little proud.
After all, cultivating sweet potatoes is not an easy task. Although some people teach it, it is a completely new challenge for them.
