After receiving the imperial edict that was delivered to Jinnan Palace at full speed, Yan Kejin was extremely angry and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Others may not understand the emperor's intention, but Yan Kejin, his biological son, understands his father's thoughts.
Why else?
Isn't it just to please his current queen? In his eyes, everyone else is just a tool.
Reuse him?
Ah!
Doesn’t this mean he is living happily and comfortably in Nanman?
After hearing the imperial edict, Xu Yin almost lost control of her hidden temper.
The eunuch who read out the imperial edict was invited by the discerning butler to the teahouse for tea and snacks.
When the couple was the only one left in the room, Xu Yin couldn't help but say: "Why is the emperor so angry?"
After finally adapting to the southern barbarian climate, they settled here, started agriculture, industry and commerce, and built infrastructure. However, an imperial edict sent them to the northwest border again.
Is it okay to be so shameless?
"You are his biological son, right?"
Yan Kejin suddenly felt much better when she saw the cute look on the princess's face as she rolled down her sleeves angrily and wished she could rush to the capital to vent her anger for him.
The haze that had accumulated in my heart disappeared at this moment.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry."
He hugged her into his arms and kissed the top of her hair.
"Isn't this king the one who is so angry and distressed? Well, if you think about it from another angle, it's not all a bad thing."
"Oh?" Xu Yin calmed down, followed his train of thought, and suddenly realized, "That's right! You were worried about not being able to recruit troops, and he just sent you 100,000 troops?"
"Yes!" Yan Kejin clapped her hands and laughed, "We can form the firearms camp you mentioned."
Thinking about it from another angle, this imperial edict came just in time.
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
However, the road to Yanguan is long, and the transportation of firearms is no better than other supplies.
Fortunately, I had planned to come back from Qinxian and come up with a solar-powered mechanical vehicle that could replace the horse-drawn carriage. Now I am even more determined to design a vehicle that can carry both people and objects.
Xu Yin searched the system mall and found the design drawing and some materials of a military armored vehicle that can be transported over long distances. The exchange price was 9999 energy points! ! !
Good guy!
She called him "good guy!"
This is the rhythm to clear the balance of energy points.
She clutched her chest in distress.
After exploring the five counties of Nanman, in addition to harvesting five map frames, I also received a wave of gratifying energy point rewards.
Being able to have a five-digit energy point balance is all due to this wave of rewards.
But it’s time to spend it before you can warm it up...
It was heartbreaking, but after much thought, Xu Yin redeemed it without hesitation.
After spending all the energy points, you can earn them again. If you miss the armored vehicle design, you may not have the chance to get it again.
After getting the drawings, he first gave Yan Kejin the necessary materials to collect.
Now, she didn't even make excuses, and he cooperated so tacitly that he didn't ask where it came from, he just took it and used it.
Thanks to the proliferation of workshops owned by Wang Fu everywhere, iron carriages, glass windows, rubber tires... can be obtained quietly without alerting the outside world.
Xu Yin turned on the scene simulation function and concentrated on tinkering with the engine.
In addition, she made a purchase list of supplies: "Mommy, pick a few smart boys and purchase them separately. We are in a hurry, the sooner the better."
Yanguan is located at the northwest gate, with a large temperature difference between day and night. When it is cold, you shivering while wrapped in thick cotton robes. When it is hot, the yellow sand blowing on your face can burn your skin.
She first thought of down. Aren't there many people in Qin County raising sea ducks? Even if the duck down is not discarded, it is mixed in the humus pile for retting.
When the imperial chef was asked to kill the duck, he collected the fine velvet-like down and used it as a sample to give to the boys who went to buy it.
"This is what I call duck down. You can collect as much as you can."
It doesn't matter if you can't collect enough duck down in a short period of time. Open the down workshop first and collect and make it at any time. Once it's made, let the Escort Bureau transport it to Yanguan in batches.
The problem of warmth in cold winter is solved, and then there is the veil and veil to protect from sun and wind and sand in summer.
Men may look down on this thing, but the women in Yanguan will definitely like it.
There were many female dependents in the army at Yanguan, so she brought some as souvenirs, which could also shorten the distance between her and them.
Xu Yin was thinking about it bit by bit while tinkering with the car engine, and she would prepare whatever came to mind.
The daily necessities are nothing more than rice, flour, grains, oils, condiments, clothes, bedding, and daily necessities.
In the past two or three years, Zhuangzi under the Wangfu has gradually planted high-yielding grains. The existing stock in Zhuangzi's granary alone is more than enough for them to live in Yanguan for a few years.
As for oil, since the purchase of Yaoshidou has been liberalized, oil pressing mills have also opened. In addition to obtaining soybean oil, we are also trying to extract protein fiber from soybean meal to make soybean fiber quilts.
However, the quantity of beans purchased was not enough for three workshops to receive orders and start work at the same time, so the soybean fiber was excluded from trial production and has not yet been officially put into use.
At the moment, Xu Yin couldn't care less. The production progress of the tofu shop and the soy sauce shop was slowed down for a while, while the oil pressing shop was working overtime.
Condiments such as brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, soy sauce and other condiments are temporarily suspended from receiving orders from traders in the Central Plains, and all orders will be given first priority to the needs of the palace.
Xu Yin was particularly lucky at this time. As soon as she arrived in Nanman, she had the idea of popularizing high-yielding grain varieties and building workshops, and put it into practice.
If this had been delayed for a year and a half, we would not be able to raise so many supplies at this time.
The workshops under the Royal Palace have not stopped production during this period. The workers work overtime day and night in three shifts. Even though they have recruited batches of more people, their overtime wages are still more than double or triple their monthly salary. .
According to this momentum, the workers think that there is no need to wait two or three years to build a solid and bright brick house in the next spring!
Xu Yin was busy, and Yan Kejin was also not idle for a moment.
He was worried that after he left, the prince might send spies to Nanman to inquire about the property in his name.
His eyes were sharp: "Yan Qi, pass on the order: come and cut off one, come and cut off two and a pair!"
This is his fiefdom. In addition to taxation, it is also his base camp.
Only when the base camp is stable can the front line be protected.
Otherwise, how can food and grass be sustained?
It wasn't that he was careless. Based on his understanding of Yan Keheng, that guy might have interfered with it and deliberately deceived him. He might even have cut off the food and grass and cut off the livelihood of the soldiers at Yanguan.
Once the soldiers are hungry, it is not known whether they can obey orders, let alone attack the city and seize territory.
Xu Yin listened to his concerns, thought about it and put forward feasible suggestions:
"It would be too far for the Nanman to supply food and grass to Yan Pass. In this case, my father wrote a letter saying that the emperor has approved his resignation and he will be able to return to his hometown in the north of Furong County soon. It is better to let my father purchase a number of fields there. , growing high-yielding rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. The climate in the north of Furong County is very suitable for both rice and wheat. The transportation from there to Yanguan is much closer than here. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. In the same way, We can also put more granaries in more places."
