At this moment, the servants had cut wood and built a wooden shed on a flat place by the river. It was sheltered from wind and rain on three sides and faced the Jiujiang River. They spread hay and a blanket inside, and Princess Kunxing sat there. Inside, I was happily looking at the river. There was a bonfire burning at the door of the wooden shed. It was so warm and comfortable.
The guards were also busy digging holes and burying pots, breaking ice to get water, and hunting in the forest. Soon after Chang Yu arrived to join everyone in the work, they were full of harvests.
Several more straw huts were built by the river, and game was put on the rack for roasting. People crowded into piles to barbecue and chat, and it was very lively.
But not everyone can enter Princess Kunxing's thatched hut, including Chang Yu, Song Luoyu, the prince, and the five palace maids. The palace maid took out the food box she brought from the General Military Mansion. There were some cakes in it and distributed them to everyone. Chang Yu leaned on the pillar and looked at the Jiujiang River in trance. Princess Kunxing kicked him: "Even if this is a straw shed, I feel tighter and more comfortable than in the palace."
Chang Yu sighed: "If you feel comfortable now, you will be sad when you go back."
Princess Kunxing was startled: "How do you say this?"
"Because it feels good to be out of the palace for a while, and it keeps feeling good when you go out of the palace." Chang Yu said with a smile: "How can you stay in the palace after you have so much fun outside the palace?"
Princess Kunxing was stunned and looked at Zhu Cihong who was silent next to her: "Although the palace is very big, I have been familiar with every plant and tree for more than ten years. I have already had enough of it!"
"Why are you telling me these things, as if I can come out at will?" Zhu Cixi gave Princess Kunxing a wink with a wry smile: "That sir is a capable person."
Princess Kunxing chuckled and looked at Chang Yu: "Can you please come up with a solution for me?"
Chang Yu rolled his eyes and went to the haystack: "It depends on the wishes of the two young masters." He rubbed his fingers to ask for money.
The Zhu brothers and sisters laughed and kicked him. The palace maid and Song Luoyu were also made to laugh. Zhu Ainao laughed very happily. She really liked this feeling. There are no rules or red tape here, and there is no high or low status. You can play happily, say what you want to say and do what you want to do. This is the youth that young people should have.
"I really hope we can be like this when we grow up." Zhu Cixiang looked at Chang Yu and then at Princess Kunxing, his eyes full of expectation.
Princess Kunxing nodded vigorously and looked at Chang Yu: "Sir, will we still be this happy in the future?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "I don't know, you are the princess who will be married in the future. How can your husband's family allow you to show up and play so casually?"
"Then I won't get married." Zhu Yulao bit her lip and said, Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't get married, this eldest son will ascend the throne. At that time, he was a great person. Will he let us play together? ?”
"Don't rush me." Zhu Cixiang bared his teeth and claws and rushed over to pinch Chang Yu. The two started fighting again. Wang Zhengnan, who was having a barbecue by the river not far away, was dumbfounded. He whispered to Chen Ruxin next to him: "I feel like a thunderbolt struck me. Entering I would never have imagined that the prestigious Governor of the East Factory would be like this before."
"Then what do you think the Governor is like?" Chen Suole asked with a smile.
"I thought he must be the kind of aloof and arrogant Wei Zhongxian. Even though he is not as old as him, he is still a sinister and sinister person." Wang Zhengnan thought for a while and whispered.
Unexpectedly, the Chen brothers all said in unison: "Yes, the young governor is such a person. He is not only insidious but also cunning and extremely despicable."
"You..." Wang Zhengnan's outlook suddenly collapsed. Who are you helping? How dare you say this to your immediate boss. Although he has joined the group, he has not yet integrated into it.
On the other side, the dozen or so soldiers were showing off the silver reward to Gao Di's servants. Looking at the thatched hut in the distance, they couldn't help but ask, "What are the backgrounds of those young men? Why do they need the protection of the Jinyi Guards?" , It really belongs to a high-ranking official’s family.”
"The background is very big. The darker one is the eunuch of Dongchang. The two are the sons of high-ranking officials in Beijing. They can play with the eunuch of Dongchang. How can the background be small? They are at least six ministers. The young master may be from a noble family in Beijing." A servant said casually.
Ah, more than a dozen soldiers were stunned. You look at me, I look at you, the great eunuch of Dongchang. After hearing his name for a long time, the sight of him today is so different from what he imagined.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then made a decision. They stood up and knelt down in front of Chang Yu's hut and kowtowed: "Young men, please pay homage to the Lord Governor. We were blind just now..."
Chang Yu frowned, got up and walked outside to let everyone get up: "Eat, drink, and have fun happily. Why are you here to kowtow? Don't spoil the fun." Then everyone quickly got up, laughed and dispersed to eat and drink.
When Chang Yu took the crown prince and princess to enjoy the mountains and rivers, Gao Di in Guancheng was also busy calling in the suspects one by one to make insinuations. However, because there was no direct evidence, it was still impossible to determine who framed the accusation, so the matter was finally dropped. But there is a new suspicion that it must be the Jinyiwei or Fanzi in the city who are causing trouble. Although important towns like Shanhaiguan no longer have supervisory troops, there are many agents from these two intelligence departments.
This time it was really dangerous. Fortunately, it was a false accusation. Gao Di broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he was captured by Chang Yu in Funing. He should be more cautious in the future, and it was time to hug him. He was originally friends with Wu Sangui. I thought it was reliable enough, but now that Sangui is waving around like a gunman, who has the time to care about him?
It was almost evening when Chang Yu came back. The sky was gloomy and dark, and the wind was strong and snowflakes were drifting. Everyone was very cold, but they looked very satisfied. It was a very pleasant outing, but the prince's eyes were The swollen Gaudi naturally couldn't guess that the young man cried several times.
After returning to the General Military Mansion, everyone went to repair. Chang Yu called Gao Di into the study to discuss an important matter. He said that he had just received information about a food shortage outside the customs, and he wanted to allocate some food from him first, and then from him later. The capital adjusted the grain to pay him back.
This put Gaudi in a difficult position. It was no secret that the imperial court was short of food during the Great Famine in the capital. It was said that hundreds of people starved to death in the capital in one day. It could be said that food at that time was very valuable. There can be a shortage of wages, but not of food. People will not die if wages are not paid for a year, but people will starve to death if they don't eat for three days.
I can only save enough for three months. If I transfer it to Ning Yuan, it will not be as simple as tightening my belt. It is good that the court can supply it in time. If it is not provided in time, the consequences will be very serious, and mutiny is not a problem.
Seeing that winter is approaching, every town is trying their best to stockpile food. They want to grab other people's pockets. There is no reason to dig out.
"Ningyuan is a soldier of the imperial court, and Shanhaiguan is also a soldier of the imperial court. Ningyuan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and so is Shanhaiguan. Is it possible that the imperial court will let the soldiers of Shanhaiguan starve to death to help the soldiers of Ningyuan?" Chang Yu saw Gao Di's embarrassment and said, "This governor As a guarantee, we will continue to supply supplies after returning to Beijing. It may be tight in the first month or so, but after two months there will be no worries about food shortages."
"Could it be that the governor's words have some basis? As far as the general knows, there is a great famine in the capital at this time and there is no food..." Gao Di frowned and Chang Yu smiled and said: "Your news is too late, my governor Before returning to Beijing, I had purchased grain on a large scale in the south. New rice from the autumn harvest from the south was being shipped one after another. I had also planted thousands of acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Tongzhou, as well as relief grain and grass shipped by Zheng Zhilong from Fujian. The famine would last for at most two months. control".
Gao Di was speechless. He believed in Chang Yu's words, and he also believed in Chang Yu's ability. This man was not only marching and fighting, but also prepared for rainy days in all aspects.
What's more important is that if someone doesn't know how much inventory they have, they can find a way to refuse it, but now they have just checked the warehouse and know that you have it. If you still don't borrow it, you will be disrespectful... I wonder, something is wrong. Gaudi seems to have caught it. What.
Now that he has agreed, he has to start things immediately. Gao Di has gathered people to do the work, and he doesn't even have time to accompany the guests, and Chang Yu doesn't need his company.
In order to get some food for Zu Dashou smoothly, he tried his best to trick Gao Di and coax the two children along the way. At this time, he was already exhausted and decided to go to his own place to stay quietly for a while.
