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

  Chapter 97 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (46)

  An ordinary sheepskin jacket, without embroidery or gemstones, was actually exchanged for two catties of fine sugar that was as white as snow!

  Two sticks of cistanche were exchanged for two bottles of hoisin sauce and a stew that is said to be called kelp, which is very delicious seafood!

   But the spies were very happy.

  How can I care about spying on the military situation? I took out everything I had on hand and replaced it with sugar, soy sauce, seafood... and then hurriedly slipped back outside the customs to report.

  Such a few things in exchange for so many condiments, and seafood that is not commonly seen outside the customs, what kind of city and battle are you fighting! Why don't you get something in exchange? No casualties yet.

  When the Tatar king heard the spies' report, his first reaction was disbelief.

  The spies who sneaked into Beijing last year said they saw these things when they came back, but the prices in Beijing are not so low, only princes and nobles can afford them, how can Yanguan sell them so cheaply?

  Continue to explore!

  The second wave of spies sneaked into the pass again.

  This time they brought a lot of leather jackets and wild herbs that were worthless in their eyes.

  Wang said that if you can't spy on the military situation, you can exchange some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and canned fruits that are scarce outside the pass and go back.

  The spies mingled with the Yanguan people's ranks, and exchanged a bunch of things like looting.

   Proved once again: Snowflake white sugar, ruby ​​brown sugar, and canned fruit, which are sold at sky-high prices in Beijing, are indeed very cheap in Yanguan.

  The king of the Tatar tribe was interested.

   "Find a way to continue mixing in and changing! This king wants to see how many such good things there are in Yanguan!"

At the same time, the King Jinnan convoy, who set off immediately after the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to rushing on the road, also purchased a batch of farmland farms along the way as spare granaries, so that no matter how fast they rushed, by the time they arrived at Yanguan, the ice and snow had gradually melted It's March in Yangchun, and the New Year is spent on the road.

  Nurse Feng, who arrived earlier with the **** vehicle, had already taken the maidservants up and down the mansion, tidying it up like a new house.

  Originally, when Xu Yinian was getting old and passed through Furong County, it was Nanny Feng who insisted on coming to Yanguan to let her go back to Xu Mansion to reunite with her family.

"The old slave is old, but his hands and feet are still flexible. After Yanguan settles down, it is time for the princess to have a child. The old slave is not proficient, but when it comes to raising children, the old slave is still somewhat sure. Then Those who say that I don’t feel relieved to leave it to other people’s old slaves, Chunlan and others are still children.”

   Speechless Xu Yin.

  If Nanny Feng didn't mention it, she wouldn't have thought about the child at all, okay?

  Indeed, the past two years have been so fulfilling that I hardly have time to think about pregnancy or children.

  That night, she asked Yan Kejin eagerly, why didn't she see him give birth after two years of marriage? Doesn't he want a child of his own?

  The dog man smiled meaningfully: "The king asked the imperial doctor. The princess looks weak, but her bones are still strong. If she is not pregnant, it may be that her fate with the child has not yet come, so don't worry."

   "..."

   Who the **** is in a hurry!

  Yan Kejin lay on her shoulders, exhaling hot air directly to the tips of her ears:

   "Does the princess also want to say that it is good to have no children to disturb? Is the 'two-person world' that the princess said is what it is now?"

"…"You think too much.

  She was wrong!

  She shouldn't have brought up the topic.

  After provoking it... Anyway, I jumped from the topic of "children" to the unspeakable "battlefield".

  Woke up the next day, Xu Yin felt as if she had been run over by a big truck all night, and her whole body was sore.

   It was a dog man, with a refreshed face, had breakfast with the princess, and then went to the military camp.

  It's new here, and I have a lot of things to do. The most important firearms battalion should be settled as soon as possible so that formal training can start.

  Xu Yin went back to her room to catch up on sleep, and woke up again, it was already noon.

  Auntie came in and said that the family members of Mr. Wan's family came to visit and asked if she would like to see her.

"See."

   Just to understand the current situation of life in Yanguan.

  There are ten people under the management of Yan Kejin, but there are only four female relatives who came this time.

  The other six ten thousand chiefs were either unmarried, or left their wives at home to serve their parents-in-law, and did not join the army.

   Fortunately, the female family members of these four people have been with the army for many years, and they know everything about Yanguan like the back of their hands, but Xu Yin can answer a few questions, which is enough for her to understand.

"Madam doesn't know that there are very few fields in Yanguan that can produce grain. Most of them are sandy soil, and everything is sparsely planted. The grain has to be transported from the inner county. Sometimes the transport is late, and three meals are not available. , The days of clear soup and little water are really tormenting."

"Madam will be frightened if she sees the houses where the locals live. Many of them don't build houses, they just find a hilltop to dig a stone hole, and they say that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Most of the houses in Yanguan City are ours. Such military family members are either from Neijun who came here to do business."

   "Madam, my concubine came to Yanguan with my husband. What I am most unaccustomed to is the lack of water. There is little rain here. The local people have experienced droughts in previous years and have lingering fears. Even if it is not a dry season, they save water."

  Before Xu Yin came, she was fully prepared for the lack of supplies at Yanguan, but she never expected that the reality would be more difficult than she expected. Especially water, which cannot be transported from Nanman or Zhuangzi along the way!

  She desperately recalled, how did later generations solve the water problem in the Northwest?

  South-to-North Water Diversion?

  Long-term planning is fine, but to alleviate the immediate predicament, distant water cannot quench near-thirst.

  After all, with the economic strength and technological level of later generations, it took more than ten years and hundreds of billions of dollars to realize the water connection. In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to break through regional restrictions and realize the South-to-North Water Diversion.

  【Ding—Explore the northwestern area of ​​Yanhua, and reward a map of the area for completion. 】

   At this time, the system issued a task to her again.

  Explore the northwest area of ​​Yanhua?

   This is much bigger than Nanban, a vast world, the task is not easy, but fortunately, there are a lot of corresponding energy point rewards after completion.

  After Xu Yin sent away a few female family members, she began to arrange people to investigate.

   Unexpectedly, during this investigation, a group of Tartars who sneaked into the pass in disguise were accidentally discovered.

  At first, Xu Yin also thought it was a trick, but unexpectedly, during the interrogation, a ridiculous truth was revealed.

   "What? Are they here to trade?"

"Um."

  Yan Kejin was also a little dumbfounded, leaning on the back of the chair and twisting the sore brows, he interrogated himself all night, but he didn't want such an answer.

  According to the law, entry into the customs requires civil servants. The generals guarding the customs have neglected their duties and have been dealt with by him. Most of them are Yan Keheng's people. Taking this opportunity to rectify the military appearance and discipline.

"...At first, he refused to tell her life and death, but then a tartar with a pregnant woman waiting for brown sugar couldn't help crying, so they all recruited. In addition, this time, two groups of people have disguised themselves as ordinary people in the pass and sneaked into the market. They exchanged sheepskin jackets, wool felts, ghee, etc. for the scarce sugar, soy sauce, canned food, and muslin cloth outside the pass..."

  Xu Yin's eyes lit up as she listened:

   "My lord, I know how to stop fighting!"
