Prince Yan's Mansion.
A group of high-level officials are discussing matters.
After nearly a month of fighting by the soldiers.
Most of the northern Xinjiang area has fallen into the hands of King Zhu Di of Yan.
Three hundred thousand soldiers also garrisoned various important cities one after another, completely turning this place into the land of Yan.
I have to say, this is extremely exciting news!
Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, after all, this family fortune was built together!
Zhu Di also had a smile on his face and was very happy to read the report.
But it's not all good news.
Zhang Bing spoke in a deep voice and brought some bad news.
"Your Majesty, with the expansion of Yan territory, our army's food and grass are already somewhat insufficient."
"According to the prince's order, every time the soldiers enter a city, they must open warehouses to store grain and appease the local people."
"But if this happens, the pressure on our army's food and grass supply will be too great. Now the number of people under Yan's army has reached one million!"
Zhang Bing sighed and said: "Due to the previous war, the people in northern Xinjiang had almost no harvest. Now they all have to rely on our army for support. This will cause food problems..."
The larger the territory, the more people there are, which will bring many problems.
The first one to bear the brunt is naturally food.
After all, food is the most important thing for the people. Only when the people are full will they not cause trouble.
However, there was a tug-of-war between the Yan Army and the Southern Army. The major cities in northern Xinjiang changed hands several times, and the people suffered from the war.
Under such circumstances, not to mention farming with peace of mind, even one’s life and property have become a problem, and naturally there will be no harvest!
Now that the Yan army has annexed most of the northern Xinjiang land, these northern Xinjiang people have naturally become his subjects, King Zhu Di of Yan. Then he has to be responsible for the people and the people, open warehouses and release grain to appease the army and the people.
But as a result, Yan Jun's food and grass pressure will be too great!
After all, most of the Yan army's food sources currently come from Xishan, mainly potatoes.
However, Xishan has always been such a big place that can support the city of Beiping and the 300,000 Yan army. This is all the result of Mr. Su Yang's gritted teeth.
Now that the number of people has soared to millions, it is probably impossible to rely on such a small amount of food in Xishan!
As soon as Zhang Bing spoke, everyone's good mood disappeared instantly, and Zhu Di also frowned.
"My lord, this is indeed a hidden danger."
Jin Zhong nodded and said: "In the final analysis, it is still because of this war that the people's farming has been delayed."
Zhu Di did not comment when he heard the words, and directly gave the order: "No matter what, these people are now my king's subjects, and they are the foundation of our Yan army, so we must not abandon them!"
"As the New Year is approaching, even if the soldiers eat less, they must even out enough food and grass to distribute to the people in northern Xinjiang!"
"As long as we survive this period and wait until next spring, we can expand the planting of potatoes and cover the entire northern Xinjiang. By then, our army will no longer have to worry about food and grass!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed.
They all saw with their own eyes the terrifying yield of potatoes. If potatoes could be promoted and cultivated, Yan Jun would no longer need to worry about food and grass.
After the discussion, Zhu Di had been a little worried.
He got up and walked outside the palace, only to see heavy snow falling on the ground.
"Father, be careful of catching the cold."
Zhu Gaochi took the big cloak and put it behind Zhu Di.
"Chi'er, this heavy snowfall comes at the wrong time!"
Zhu Di sighed, his eyebrows full of sorrow.
Although there is a saying that "auspicious snow heralds a good harvest", the problem is that the people have to survive this winter!
Now the people have no food to eat, and suddenly there is a heavy snowfall, and the weather is freezing. How can the people survive?
Zhu Gaochi's expression darkened, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and he said excitedly: "Father, how about a trip to Xishan?"
"Su Yang's body is not fully recovered yet. Why don't we go over and ask him for advice in the name of visiting?"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded happily.
This eldest son is becoming more and more sensible. He even has the steps figured out for him.
"Then order someone to prepare the horse. You come with me!"
As soon as the father and son walked out of the palace gate, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui chased after them.
"Dad, brother, we both want to go to Xishan too!"
Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly.
He hadn't seen his little sister for a long time, so he just wanted to visit her this time.
As for Zhu Gaosui, he just wanted to spend more time with Su Yang, hoping to learn one or two of Su Yang's unpredictable magical skills.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Di glanced at the two of them and decisively refused.
"No, you two can't go, especially the second child!"
"In the near future, you can't go to Xishan, let alone see Su Yang. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
What does this mean?
Why don't you let me see Su Yang?
Zhu Di took a deep look at him, then got on his horse and galloped away with Zhu Gaochi.
Halfway through, Big Fatty couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Dad, why can't the second brother see Su Yang?"
"It wasn't because of that battle that the second brother and Tan Yuan rushed to rescue Su Yang, but they also exposed their identities!" Zhu Di sighed.
"It turns out that Su Yang has known the identities of us and others for a long time, but has always chosen to pretend not to know. Since he does this, he has his reasons."
"Since Su Yang doesn't want to be trapped in the worldly etiquette, as a father, naturally we can't force him. At least we are getting along relatively harmoniously with him now, so we can just continue to get along like this!"
"If your second brother goes to Xishan, wouldn't it be exposed? What do you want Su Yang to think? Are we forcing him to be honest with us?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi reacted immediately.
It seems that this is indeed the case!
At that time, Su Yang had already called out his second son's name. How could he still not know the identities of his father, son, and others?
In this case, it can only prove that Su Yang did not want to point out the truth and chose a relaxed way to get along with their father and son.
"Father, actually this way of getting along is really good."
"At least we don't have to be stuck in worldly etiquette. We are more like a family!"
"A family?" Zhu Di murmured after hearing this, with a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Soon the father and son went up the Western Mountain and came to Suyang Courtyard, but they stopped.
I saw Su Yang and his wife building a snowman, while Ma Sanbao was doing it on the side. The yard was filled with laughter and laughter.
Compared to Su Yang who was making a snowman in a big way, Zhu Wanqiu was more careful and perfected many details on the side. After all, girls are always more delicate than boys.
Half an hour later the two snowmen were standing in the yard.
Stones are used for the snowman's eyes, and branches are used for the snowman's arms and nose.
The couple immediately burst into cheers, and laughter resounded throughout the courtyard.
Ma Sanbao also smiled happily when he saw this, but when he turned around, he was suddenly stunned. He saw the prince and the prince at the door smiling at the scene, and hurriedly wanted to salute.
"Hey, daddy, brother, why are you here?"
Zhu Wanqiu also noticed the two of them and hurriedly stepped forward and threw herself into Zhu Di's arms.
Zhu Di hugged his beloved daughter with a look of love on his face.
Su Yang also came over and looked at this scene with a smile.
"There has been a heavy wind and snow in Northern Xinjiang. Has my son-in-law recovered from his injury?"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, it's okay."
