Chapter 536 Rice bran is also fragrant
Chu Lixuan held her hand tightly and said nothing since he came in with his opening remarks.
When Wei Dabin received Jiang Xinyan's praise, his heart felt as sweet as honey, and he spoke more actively.
"If the food is gone, we can just plant it again. As long as there is more land for us, there will be more food, don't you think?"
"Yes." When the other young soldiers heard that the master and his wife had no intention of giving food to the emperor for free, they all happily said yes.
Everyone swept away the previous slump and discussed enthusiastically where to find good land. Isn't it just food? Let's plant it again.
Now that they have technology, they can grow more food as long as they have land. My wife said that they can also grow crops in winter, such as wheat and rapeseed...
"Sir, we want the fields around Youzhou City. Anyway, the King of Zhenbei knows about our Xuanyan City, hey! Their Zhenbei Army can't defeat us."
"Yes, even if the emperor wants to send troops, he can't. In another year, we won't be afraid even if the four countries come to besiege us at the same time."
"Zhao Yu, the place where we violently attacked the commander of the Jinyiwei last time was good. It would be fine to give that area to us." Wei Dabin said in a showy manner.
Han Lianzhou and Cui Yingjie were dumbfounded and asked in unison: "Were you the ones who beat Commander Zhong two months ago to the point where he was so seriously injured that he couldn't walk?"
Oh my god! It's so scary. They look so young, and their internal strength is actually higher than that of their leader.
"Yes, it was me and Wei Dabin who defeated the commander of the Jinyi Guards. We were also seriously injured and have been recuperating for half a month! You also know that we have elders from the Heavenly Medicine Valley here."
"Old man Zhong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, one of the top ten martial arts masters in the four countries, was seriously injured by the two of you. It's really scary. Why didn't I know this, old man?" Grandfather Song was excited.
"Grandpa Song, you didn't even ask! Hehe, we are embarrassed to publicize it everywhere. Our father and wife told us to keep a low profile."
"That's right, we have to keep a low profile. That time we went deep into the North Vietnamese military camp and robbed hundreds of thousands of horses. King Zhenbei thought it was the commander of the Jinyi Guards who took away the horses."
"Haha, at that time, the commander was so beaten by General Wei and Master Zhao that he couldn't even ride a horse!" Zhou Daniu laughed loudly.
Everyone was happily joking again. Now that the food harvest in their castle was gradually increasing, everything was in short supply. They practiced martial arts secrets, and their martial arts values continued to rise.
As time goes by, what do they have to fear? Whoever wants to attack the city, come on, will be afraid that no one will dare to come and train for them.
They said that there are advanced weapons and advanced defense equipment in the castle, as well as an elite snow wolf team worth one hundred.
Nie Cimeng finally announced: "When the Zhenbei King's people come, we will negotiate with them. Youzhou City is close to our Xuanyan City with a radius of 500 miles of land in exchange for food. This time we will offer three
One hundred thousand shi of rice, one hundred thousand shi of corn flour, one hundred thousand shi of potato flour, do you have any opinions?"
"No." Everyone answered resoundingly.
Grandfather Wei, Grandfather Nie, and those who came after Wei Huaiyu were shocked. These young people took out 500,000 shi of grain in one go without blinking an eye.
"Why do you want to give rice? You can just give millet directly." Wei Huaiyu still felt sorry for food.
The question he asked is also what most people think. Only a small number of people know what giving rice means.
"Uncle Wei, we have harvested the bulk, and we are not short of this small number. Moreover, we raise a lot of pigs and chickens in the castle. The bran from the rice can be fed to the pigs. Giving the rice bran to the emperor is simply a waste."
Jiang Xinyan's clear and melodious voice explained everyone's doubts in detail. After all, this was the result of everyone's hard work.
"The rice bran can also be eaten. It tastes good when mixed with some wild vegetables and fried..." Grandfather Song suddenly felt embarrassed to say.
When they were exiled here thirteen years ago, even eating rice bran was a luxury, and the rice bran was indeed very fragrant.
But now, they don't need to eat rice bran for a long time, especially when they are older. Rice bran sticks to the intestines and stomach and is not easy to digest.
When everyone heard what Grandpa Song had not finished, they all understood what was going on, and they immediately recalled their own hard times.
"The days of eating glutinous rice are gone forever for us. From now on, we will have three meals without any worries. We must not only be full but also eat well. This is our goal."
Jiang Xinyan swore passionately that she had been hungry as a child in her previous life, and later she often ate instant noodles, and there were also days when she could eat instant noodles without boiling water.
When I came back here, I luckily met Chu Lixuan. She used her blood to open the space of the Chu family's heirloom jade pendant. From then on, she lived a life of three meals without any worries.
Now, the couple has the ability to defend the castle they worked so hard for. How can she not be heroic?!
Everyone followed the oath enthusiastically, and even some old grandfathers swore boldly and loudly, "Our goal is to have three meals without any worries."
Grandfather Wei and Grandfather Nie looked at each other and smiled. The two of them discussed for countless days and nights in order to bring their family over.
In the end, they had no choice but to decide to come here with their whole family. Seeing the depression along the way, they also felt sad.
"You can make arrangements at home. I will take my wife to Yumen Pass to make an appointment with Xi Chu for negotiation." Chu Lixuan waited for everyone to finish enjoying themselves before concluding.
His words were like a thunder, which made everyone confused again. Do they have to rely on their master to settle the situation in the west?
Then why does the Dongchen Kingdom not need our master? The Dog Emperor didn't just kill the donkey and exile their master.
Wei Dabin, Zhao Yu and Nie Cimeng, as well as the generals named Chu, knew that their husbands and wives must have provided food to the Western Army.
Before they could grow food, they relied on the food stored by me and my wife.
"Sir, it wasn't you who defeated General Hachi of Xichu last time, was it?" Dai Yuntao asked in surprise.
"Yes, we gave all the grain we had to the Zhenxi Army for free. Your master said we can harvest the rice when we get back, and we have new grain.
Hey! General Zhenxi also wanted to trade the land with us, but it’s a pity! Yumen Pass is too far away, and it would take us a month to go back and forth at high speed, so what’s the use of giving us the land!”
What Jiang Xinyan said is true. As for giving it away for free, it is impossible. Even the emperor cannot eat her food for free.
The couple received money, but there was no need to report these things to everyone. After all, her husband had worked hard to grow the food.
Chu Lixuan just looked at her and smiled lovingly. Her happiest thing was to brag to everyone, not to mention that this time she told the truth and was not bragging.
