The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 88 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (37)

  On New Year's Eve, all the servants in the mansion are on vacation except for the family who gave birth, and the chef hired by Linhai County also returned home for the New Year.

  Except for the imperial chef, it’s a long way back to Beijing. One trip back and forth, one season has passed, it’s better to stay here to celebrate the New Year with everyone.

With the imperial chef around, it was not Xu Yin's turn to worry about the auspicious dishes necessary for the New Year, so she took the maids to the vegetable garden in the back garden of Xu Mansion, picked a basket of vegetables that were most suitable for hot pot, and let everyone The kitchen sliced ​​some fish and mutton, made some meatballs and shrimp dumplings and sent them over.

  As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, I want to eat hot pot.

  Although the weather in Baigui County is warm, and it is still ten or twenty degrees in the daytime in winter, there is no shortage of her missing hot pot.

So while the blacksmith masters in the mine were not on vacation, they asked them to rush out a batch of mandarin duck copper pots, with a pot bottom of clear mushroom soup and a pot bottom of red oil and spicy soup, and then made a dipping sauce, and brought everyone Let's cook hot pot together.

  In the outer courtyard, the servants gathered around a table in small groups.

  In the inner courtyard, she and Yan Kejin shared a pot, ordering meat dishes, then vegetarian dishes, and finally a portion of hand-rolled noodles by the chef.

  Basking in the warm winter sun and eating mandarin duck hot pot with pure ecological ingredients, a sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

  The servants of the outer courtyard chatted in one go:

   "When I heard that I was coming to Nanman, I was so scared that I trembled. I was ready to endure hardships. I never thought it would be so good here!"

   "That's because our lord and concubine are smart, you can try another one. Have you forgotten how hard it was when you first came here?"

   "Did you suffer when you first came here?" Xu Yin put down the curtains and turned to ask the man.

   Some of the rough envoys and servants arrived ahead of schedule with the imperial court's construction team.

  I’m new here, and I’m not used to food and accommodation. In addition, this place is really poor, so I don’t have anything to ask for, and it’s normal to suffer.

  Yan Kejin raised an eyebrow.

  Thinking in my heart: If the princess hadn't grown high-yield grain, given him the treasure map, and opened so many mines, this year might not be so comfortable.

   "After the next year, what arrangements does the princess have?"

  He boiled some tender and delicious fish **** for Xu Yin.

  The royal chef was trained by his own princess, so he can do everything.

  Xu Yin poured him a cup of mulberry wine brewed by herself, thought for a while and said:

"The first batch of soy sauce will be ready for use by spring plowing. Let's take some to Minyue County for a walk? Soy sauce workshops have been set up in each county. The soy sauce brewing period is half a year. I hope to bring some orders back to the soy sauce workshop during this trip. Or, I heard that pirates are rampant along the coast of Minyue County every April and May, don’t you want to test the power of firearms? Just try those pirates, it’s not a waste.”

  Yan Kejin frowned when she heard the word "pirate":

"Since the princess knows that pirates are rampant in that area every April and May, why choose Minyue County? No matter how powerful the firearms are, they are impossible to defend against. I can let Yan Qi arrange the soy sauce. If the princess wants to travel, she can choose Baigui County. In the south of the county, after the year, the cement road must have reached Qinbei."

  In his opinion, the large number of exiles is easier to manage than pirates. At worst, arrange a few more hidden guards for the princess.

  Xu Yin was speechless: She chose Minyue County because of pirates.

"The prince is the lord of the fiefdom, just like the patriarch of a family. The home is invaded by foreign enemies. As the patriarch, how can you ignore it? Besides, we made a batch of guns out of saltpeter. If you don't try it, how will you know it?" power?"

   Now it was Yan Kejin's turn to be speechless.

  He was worried about her safety, not a rampant pirate.

   As soon as the firearms came out, the guards escorted a group to support the counties and counties in Minyue County that are most vulnerable to pirate invasion.

  Hearing what he said, Xu Yin was stunned: "You have already sent someone to help? That's all right."

  She originally thought that the owner of the fiefdom should not interfere in the government affairs. Even if a batch of guns were made from saltpeter and iron ore, she would have to find a reason to do so.

  For example, if you pretend to be a businessman from other places, encounter pirates and rob them, and take them all under the pretext of self-defense, the court will not say anything after knowing it.

   But if you send your own soldiers and weapons to reinforce, wouldn't you be afraid of being referred to by the censor?

Yan Kejin raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the concubine say that? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Do something here. When it gets back to Beijing, the daylily will be cold. What's more, the counties of Minyue and Baiyue counties Shou, they are all my king's people now."

   "..." Are you good enough?

   A few days after we chatted on this topic, Fei Ge, the governor of Minyue County, sent a letter to report the brilliant record of the recent battle with the pirates.

   "...captured more than a hundred pirates and thieves, captured three large ships, and severely frightened the pirates."

  Yan Kejin happily relayed the story to Xu Yin.

   "Afterwards, we can take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, go straight to Huanglong, and completely destroy the Pirate's Den. What does the princess think?"

  Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "Before you find out where the pirates' dens are and whether there are ambushes around them, it's better not to act rashly. The key is to protect the safety of the coastal counties and improve people's livelihood."

   After a pause, she suddenly smiled:

"I have an idea. The prince can form a fleet by himself, pick a group of capable men, bring firearms, and carry out anti-robbery specifically against pirates. This matter, the officers and soldiers can't do it, otherwise the impact will be bad, and the prince has nothing to do now anyway. real power...

  Cough, what I mean is, the purpose of the prince to go out to sea is to make friends with overseas allies. When encountering pirates on the way, he had no choice but to clash with them. I can only blame them for their lack of eyesight. It’s not easy to **** whoever you want to grab the prince..."

   Before Xu Yin could finish speaking, Yan Kejin clapped her hands suddenly: "Good idea!"

  He really felt that the princess was inferior as a daughter.

  How can there be such a smart person!

   King Jinnan, who had an open mind, immediately started to form a long-distance fleet that was soon called "Pirate Buster" by the coast.

The fleet set sail from Qinbei, and it happened to be the end of the spring plowing when it left the port. Xu Yinren did not go, and taught the tenant farmers to raise rice flower fish and rice flower crabs in Zhuangzi, but through the letter from Yanqi, I felt the first batch of selection The guards of the royal palace who boarded the ship, the excited hearts that are about to sail away.

  Thanks to the fact that there are enough weapons forged from refined iron, and the inventory of firearms is also increasing day by day, otherwise, at this rate, there would not be enough personal guards for the palace.

   Without strong firearms to sit in the town, there are not enough people to guard the base camp in the rear.

  Xu Yin proposed to set up an **** agency, similar to the security company of the later generations and the express delivery industry, recruiting a group of people who know boxing skills to serve as escorts. If there is a need for the workshop under the Wangfu, the workshop will be given priority.

   To put it bluntly, it is mainly to serve the palace, and it can also take some orders from outside in its spare time, which is similar in nature to a carpenter's workshop.

  Who will make more and more workshops under the Wangfu will be opened all over the Nanman, and will go out of the Nanman and go to the world in the future. It is very necessary to set up a bodyguard agency of your own.

   And in this way, the guards can save some manpower, so they don't have to go out every time they **** supplies.

  Yan Kejin's work efficiency has always been high, which Xu Yin thinks she can't keep up with, because she often draws up a plan on her side, and Yan Kejin's side not only takes shape of the plan, but also puts it into practice.

   No, I don’t want to build a bodyguard bureau until the end of spring plowing. In May, winter wheat, corn, fodder beans and other crops gradually matured, and the Weinan bodyguard bureaus set up in various counties began to operate.

  Wei Nan, um, defending Nanman.

  Xu Yin sometimes thinks: God let her transmigrate into this novel, did she let her light up the technology tree?

   Reluctantly, she traveled through several lifetimes, and the one she had the most contact with was actually farming.

  If you don’t have the technologies and formulas that can be exchanged in the system mall, you can’t light it up.
