Chapter 385 Jealousy

"Second sister-in-law, why don't you get on the horse for Brother Yu?" Chu Hua liked this nephew very much, and her words interrupted Second Sister-in-law Chu's memories.

"Brother Yu, do you want to go riding with Third Aunt?" Second Sister-in-law Chu asked her son gently.

"Okay! But now that I have gained weight, Third Aunt can't hold Brother Yu?" Brother Yu asked worriedly.

"Third aunt can't carry her, and there's still third uncle. Brother Feng, help me down, and then you can carry Brother Yu up."

Chu Hua said naturally, surprising Mrs. Chu so much that her mouth opened so wide that she could have stuffed an egg into it.

Feng Jianzhi took Chu Hua off the horse in a tacit understanding. He thought he was going to propose marriage tomorrow, "Brother Yu, come, uncle will take you to ride a horse."

"Giggle..." Little Chuyu giggled happily as he got on the horse, "Mother, you walk slowly, third uncle, let's run faster."

He had long wanted to catch up with the big brothers in front of him, but no one took him on a horse before, so he chased behind them with his short legs.

He also fell down, so his mother could only hold him and run. If she hadn't met his third aunt, he would have shouted stop.

He didn't want his mother to be too tired. He was so lucky to meet his third aunt. Little Chu Yugao was very excited: "Drive, drive, third uncle, hurry up and chase her."

When Feng Jianzhi was called third uncle by the little guy, he felt like he was eating honey. How could he be disobedient? He clamped his legs around the horse's belly and said, "Drive..."

"Sister Hua, what's going on?" Sister-in-law Chu suppressed her fright, but still couldn't calm down and asked in a slightly high-pitched voice.

"Second sister-in-law, it's just what you think. Brother Feng is going to propose marriage to mother tomorrow." Chu Hua asked her mother before pursuing Feng Jianzhi.

Second Sister-in-law Chu looked at her little daughter, who was only twenty years old. She didn't dare to agree, so she went to ask the eldest princess and her mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law was very open-minded and agreed without saying a word. Only then did Chu Hua have the courage to pursue Feng Jianzhi.

"Will mother agree? Will grandma agree?" Sister-in-law Chu was happy for her sister-in-law, but also worried at the same time.

"Second sister-in-law, I only agreed to Brother Feng with mother's consent." Chu Hua was embarrassed to say that she was pursuing him backwards.

Just like Brother Feng, if she doesn't take the initiative, then the two of them will never be able to get together.

"That's good, Sister Hua, is he good to you?" Second Sister-in-law Chu thought of the brother-in-law from the former Minister's Mansion.

She still hoped that Chu Hua would get married again, but that man was simply not a human being, and he actually gave his wife the soup to avoid his son.

"Brother Feng tried his best to save me before. At that time, I thought he liked me, but he didn't pursue me for a long time. Later he said he felt he was not worthy of me."

Chu Hua felt very upset when he thought about their relationship. She took the initiative to pursue him, but the wooden bump backed away.

"After all, he is also the little leader of the Jinyiwei. We were prisoners at that time, so why is he not worthy of it?" Second Sister-in-law Chu was shocked.

"He was already under the eldest cousin at that time, and Brother Feng thought we were the masters." Chu Hua said with a smile.

"If it weren't for my cousin and his wife, neither my mother nor my brother Yu would have survived." Sister-in-law Chu said with emotion.

"Haha~ Second sister-in-law, not just mother and the others! We can't survive!" Chu Hua sighed when he thought about the beginning of his exile.

The two sisters walked slowly under the moonlight, talking about the changes in the past year. The rider in front had already traveled a long way, and they were going to come back anyway.

All the people walking were not in a hurry, they just wanted to follow and watch the excitement.

Chu Liu'er felt very unhappy because he didn't get a horse in exchange, and felt sorry for his cousin and sister-in-law.

They were listless while working, and after eating, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

He didn't know how to ride a horse, and he wasn't willing to follow the horse, so he got on his horse and followed behind nervously.

Jiang Xinyan looked at their horse farm and was very pleased, "Husband, it's a good thing that our area is not under the control of the imperial court. Otherwise, the emperor would definitely be jealous if he knew that we raise so many horses."

Chu Lixuan said calmly: "It's useless to be jealous. The emperor has too much time to take care of himself now."

He didn't tell her that the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei was already on the way and would definitely come to Lanni Town to look for them.

"This is indeed true. The emperor is now being pressed for military pay by various generals. He is so overwhelmed that he really has no time to take care of us."

Jiang Xinyan complained to Chu Lixuan, "Don't you think Emperor Dongchen brought this on himself? If he was willing to relax his policies, why would he live so tightly?"

Let’s not talk about the farming industry, let’s talk about the private horse breeding industry. If Dongchen Kingdom develops the horse breeding industry, there will be no need to go to North Vietnam every year to buy horses at high prices.

In addition to being affected by climate and geographical conditions, the horse breeding industry is also affected by many social factors, even mostly human factors.

In Dongchen Kingdom, farmers are a vulnerable group, and if they are managed well, they can provide the country with a large number of horses.

If officials do not make any contribution to the prosperity of the private horse breeding industry, their horse breeding industry will be affected and restricted by the government all the time.

Since the early days of Dongchen, the government has issued edicts prohibiting people from buying horses, and later issued many bans on horse buying.

The imperial court issued many edicts prohibiting people from buying horses. When Xuanyuan Qi became emperor, not only was it forbidden for people to buy horses, but those who bought horses privately were severely punished.

When this prohibition policy endangers the interests of the imperial court, the officials under their command will ban the purchase.

In short, Dongchen State's policy of banning and lifting the ban was carried out repeatedly, which affected the enthusiasm of private people to raise horses.

With natural disasters and frequent wars, this policy of encouraging horse breeding became a coercive measure and the direct seizure of civilian horses.

The farmer worked hard to raise a few horses, and originally wanted to buy some sets of clothes for the elderly and children at home.

Who would have thought that even if they were directly confiscated by the government, there would still be people raising horses? This does not directly reflect the prosperity of horse breeding among the people.

When Xuanyuan Qi was the emperor, as the North Vietnamese, Southern Barbarians and Western Chu were gradually becoming stronger, they wanted to harass them from time to time.

With the war, there was a huge demand for war horses. For this reason, horses for officials and people were purchased many times. The imperial court purchased only good horses from North Vietnam.

However, the Luan horses among them were not bought, and at the same time private purchases were not allowed, which resulted in the death of many Luan horses.

Since North Vietnamese merchants were unprofitable, they were no longer willing to sell horses, which directly led to the reduction of horses that Dongchen Guo could purchase, and the prices continued to rise!

"Xinxin, our horse farm has been built. The first batch can raise 15,000 to 20,000 horses. If North Vietnam invades with troops this time, then we will rob their horses."

"Yes! I hope that the floor tile prince can go back and complain properly. If the North Vietnamese king prefers to believe him, then we will take the opportunity to rob their war horses."

Jiang Xinyan purely wanted to defeat Princess Crazy Pi to prevent her from causing trouble again, but she would not tell the truth to Chu Lixuan.
