A group of people walked into the room.
Ma Sanbao wisely lit up the charcoal fire.
The family gathered around the stove, talking and laughing.
Zhu Di noticed that the little girl had a pretty and rosy face, and felt unhappy in every way.
His daughter was frail and sickly since childhood, and later contracted tuberculosis, making her body and bones very weak.
Zhu Di also specially invited the imperial doctor to come over to diagnose and treat Zhu Wanqiu. To put it bluntly, he was born with insufficient blood and blood, and after contracting tuberculosis, he did not have many years to live.
In the memory of His Highness Prince Yan, Prince Yan has always hated winter the most, and he is no exception.
Because when winter comes, Xiaowan will lie in bed and cough non-stop. The coughs are like sharp knives piercing their hearts, and they can't be happy anymore.
But just now, Zhu Di saw with his own eyes that Xiaowan and Su Yang were building a snowman in the yard. Instead of hearing a cough, they were filled with laughter.
And after all this playing and playing, Xiaowan's complexion was not abnormal at all, she was still rosy and cute.
Facts have proved that Su Yang really cured Xiaowan's tuberculosis and successfully saved her life.
Zhu Di's eyes suddenly turned red when he thought of this.
"Xiao Wan, your body and bones are... completely healed?"
Zhu Wanqiu smiled sweetly and said: "Dad, don't worry, my husband has cured my illness and I haven't coughed for a long time."
"Okay, that's great. As a father, I finally let go of a worry!" Zhu Di nodded repeatedly with joy.
Seeing this, Su Yang smiled and spoke.
"Father-in-law, in fact, what the doctors say may not necessarily be true."
"The main root cause of Xiaowan's disease is congenital insufficient blood and blood, so it is not a good thing for her to keep taking herbal medicine."
"Human body metabolism requires a process. Some things need to be metabolized by the human body for a long time. If you take herbal medicine for a long time, those things that are difficult to metabolize with herbal medicine will be accumulated in the body. If you keep drinking, you will get more and more. This is what Xiaowan's body used to be. A cause of weakness.”
Zhu Di listened quietly and patiently, but found that he did not understand.
I have to admit that banishing the immortal is banishing the immortal. Even though Zhu Di has tried very hard, it is still difficult to understand the meaning of Su Yang's words.
But forget it if you can't understand it. Anyway, Zhu Di knows that this is a good thing.
"By the way, Su Yang, is there still hope for your eldest brother?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and the smile on Zhu Gaochi's face also faded.
He knew his own body, and Zhu Gaochi was also a long-term patient in Prince Yan's Mansion. The imperial doctor originally diagnosed him as not being able to live to the prime of life!
Zhu Di looked at Su Yang expectantly, feeling a little nervous.
After all, Chi'er is his eldest son and the son of Yan, and he will inherit the family business in the future.
Previously, Zhu Di was not happy with his eldest son. On the one hand, it was because this son was kind and generous, unlike Zhu Di who was decisive in killing. On the other hand, it was mainly because Chi'er was in poor health and might die at some point.
Zhu Di didn't want his son to pass away within a few years of handing over the family fortune he had worked so hard to build.
Instead of doing this, it is better to hand over the family fortune to the second child. At least the second child is brave and good at fighting, and looks very much like me!
Su Yang carefully observed Big Fatty, and then thought about his words.
"Father-in-law, my brother's disease actually has congenital causes, and due to improper treatment in the later stages, it becomes more and more serious."
"I have prescribed a prescription for my eldest brother before. As long as he insists on taking medicine to regulate his body according to this prescription, supplementing his nutrition appropriately, and then exercising, there should be no major problems."
To be honest, the disease of Big Fatty is actually more troublesome than that of a young daughter-in-law.
Because he is too fat and in his twenties, the organs and meridians in his body have already taken shape. In addition, he has been taking herbal medicine for a long time. It is impossible to lose weight in a short time. He can only take care of himself slowly in the hope of getting better. .
Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhu Gaochi, and a hint of disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.
He didn't say much because the occasion was not suitable at the moment.
"My dear son-in-law, I came here today because of an important matter."
"As the land of Yan expanded, the number of people also increased to millions."
"It's freezing cold today, and the people have delayed farming because of the war. I'm afraid there will be no food to eat!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Yang also frowned.
For millions of people, the food shortage is probably an astronomical figure.
It is simply impossible to support it with the power of Xishan alone!
"Father-in-law, the only solution for now is to speed up the promotion of potato planting!"
"I will send people down the mountain to build greenhouses, and Prince Yan's Mansion will send special personnel to teach the people how to cultivate potatoes."
"That's all we can do now. We will try to promote potatoes to Beiping Prefecture before the end of the year. As for food during this period, we have to find other ways."
Su Yang gave a solution.
"Over at Prince Yan's Mansion, maybe we can try to get food from the south!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression changed.
Seeking food from the south?
How is this possible?
With Zhu Yunwen's ruthless temperament, how could he tolerate the flow of food into the North?
Zhu Gaochi was also very puzzled and subconsciously said: "Su Yang, Li Jinglong still has 400,000 troops stationed in Dezhou. There is also a Pingyan Chief Secretary there. Our people can't go south at all!"
"Based on the imperial court's previous approach, they will definitely blockade the Northland and will never tolerate a grain of food flowing into our hands!"
Su Yang smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
"There are no absolutes in anything."
"On the surface, the court will do this, but that's just on the surface."
"The people in charge of food in the south are not His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Yunwen, but the gentry and gentry!"
"Do the gentry care about the justice of the family and the country, or the victory or defeat of the war? They only care about the benefits they can get!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di stood up suddenly in shock.
"Su Yang, what do you mean..."
"You might as well ask His Highness King Yan to send out secret guards to contact Mr. Huang Zicheng!"
Su Yang warmed his hands, looked at the blazing charcoal fire, and said calmly: "Yan Jun can do business with him and give him anthracite and snowflake salt for exclusive sale. Yan Jun does not want money, only food!"
"With Huang Zicheng's current status, this matter is just a trivial matter for him. Or His Highness King Yan can find a way to help Mr. Huang Zicheng go further and become the chief envoy of Pingyan Chief Secretary. That way It couldn’t be better!”
Hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other, shocked by Su Yang's statement!
Huang Zicheng had always been hostile to him, Zhu Di, and had personally formulated a plan to reduce the vassal state. How could he secretly collude with Zhu Di to resell grain and grass?
No matter how you look at this matter, it is impossible!
Su Yang's plan is too bizarre and ridiculous!
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Among the three of Qi and Huang Fang, Fang Xiaoru is the most rigid, Qi Tai is the most loyal, and only Huang Zicheng is the most diplomatic."
"Huang Zicheng will definitely agree. After all, this matter is not absolutely unacceptable to him. He can get promoted and make a fortune, so why not do it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face became uncertain for a while, but he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
This strategy sounds indeed outrageous, but what if it actually works?
"That's it!"
