Chapter 373

Seeing that Chu Lixuan didn't answer her meaning, Jiang Xinyan rolled her eyes at him, "Husband~ what do you think?"

"Look at what King Zhenbei thinks. If he is thick-skinned, he will ask us to exchange food again, and he will sell people to pay our debts." Chu Lixuan's low voice.

"That's okay! Anyway, our farm still needs to be expanded, and the farm has just started! It's better to mortgage this area of ​​land to us."

Jiang Xinyan calculated beautifully, her little fox-like smile was dazzling and beautiful.

Chu Lixuan was dumbfounded, she just liked land so much? Then if she takes the entire Dongchen to play with her, will she be happier?

The premise is that the territory can no longer be occupied by the southern barbarians. First, provide food to support the southern border.

"Xinxin, my husband is going to farm. You are listening to the news from King Zhenbei here. I don't know how much food he still lacks." After Chu Lixuan finished speaking, he really went to farm.

The King of Zhenbei couldn't find any useful information from Uncle Cheng, "One hundred thousand shi of potatoes, we will return it to Chu Lixuan, and 60,000 shi of rice will be given to the population to repay your debts.

A labor force is counted as twenty taels, and a woman, child, and child is counted as ten taels. Can you decide? "

"Caomin can call the shots, ask the lord to arrange for someone to write the documents, but the sick and disabled can't pay the normal price."

Uncle Cheng thought that the patient would still need to take medicine and delay labor time, so it should be cheaper.

"Do you want the sick and disabled too? Then I'll give it to you!" King Zhenbei waved his hand, very forthright.

Sick and disabled people, living is a waste of food, what money do you need!

Although King Zhenbei was not a particularly cruel person, during the famine period, he could only be buried alive when he was sick and disabled. Since someone was willing to take over, he would not need money.

"Caomin thanked the prince on behalf of Chu Ye." Cheng Sanshu said sincerely.

The number of people to exchange for the amount of food, the two sides draw up documents, and the exchange is officially completed.

The King of Zhenbei was still sitting in the conference hall and was worried. How could he tell Chu Lixuan about the food he owed, and he didn't know if he wanted so many people to support him.

Xuanyuan Chen took the initiative to send Uncle Cheng out of the gate of the military camp, "Chen has seen my uncle and cousin."

Cheng Sanshu was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak, Cheng Xianping said excitedly, "Cousin is willing to recognize us?"

He also didn't ask Xuanyuanchen why he recognized them only after leaving the gate, as long as he was willing to recognize them.

"Cousin, this nine rings is for you." Cheng Xianping took out the nine rings hidden in his sleeves.

"Thank you cousin, I didn't even know about your existence before. It was Brother Zhao who told me last night, so I didn't prepare any gifts."

Xuanyuan Chen hesitated again and again, not because he didn't want to recognize his relatives, but because he was afraid that Uncle Cheng didn't want to recognize him.

"We always knew of your existence, but we were too poor before, and my mother was afraid of causing trouble to my aunt."

"My mother-in-law has no relatives. I can recognize my uncle and cousin. Chen is very happy. My sister Shuang'er is still living in Lengni Town. Does my cousin know?"

"I know, Cousin Shuang has recognized us, so we only wanted to come over this time to recognize our relatives. If it weren't for the enthusiasm of my cousin, we would not have dared to expect to recognize our relatives."

Xuanyuan Chen looked at his cousin who had similar features to himself, "My mother is under too much pressure, please forgive my uncle and cousin."

"Little General Xuanyuan is polite. Your mother is not wrong. We can't give her any support. If you want such a mother's family, it will drag her back." Uncle Cheng was very concerned that Concubine Li was going to dig out his son's eyeballs.

Xuanyuanchen said shyly: "I'm afraid my mother will not be willing to recognize you in the future." He knew his mother's virtue too well.

Instead of holding out hope, it is better to open the skylight and speak brightly, so as not to become resentful.

"It's good for our cousins ​​and sisters to meet each other. I can understand your mother. Cousin Shuang told us a lot. She said that you will be very happy to know."

"Shuang'er told you everything?" Xuanyuanchen was stunned! His sister actually told her cousin that their mother was not!

Although, his mother is indeed hard to say, but is it really good to say it like this?

"Cousin Shuang didn't tell me, she told my mother and sister." Cheng Xianping didn't want his cousin to misunderstand him.

"Uncle, cousin, let's play here for a few more days this time." Xuanyuan Chen wanted to ask his father if he wanted to recognize his relatives.

His mother-in-law, it was absolutely impossible for him to recognize his uncle and aunt. Xuanyuan Chen knew too much about Concubine Li Shu's virtue.

"Cousin, you must be ready to fight! This North Vietnamese embassy was driven out by your father, will they take revenge!"

"Come on! We're not afraid of them now. We lost because we were betrayed by Jianjun He."

"Cousin, their horses trampled so many of your crops, why did they leave without paying?"

"If we drive them away, we will tear our face. We won't ask them to pay, and if they do, they won't be able to pay, so we can only beat them hard."

"The North Vietnamese are too hateful. Their horses, cattle, and sheep don't pay for trampling on so many crops!" Cheng Xianping couldn't accept it.

"What's the matter if this animal is trampled! In previous years, their soldiers often crossed the border to grab food." Xuanyuanchen said disapprovingly.

"We have to fight every year, and the North Vietnamese invaded for no reason, and our Zhenbei Army drove them away.

Repeatedly, if you hit hard, it will stop for a year and a half. When the scar is healed, the pain is forgotten, and it will come again after a year and a half. "

"Cousin, your Zhenbei Army is really powerful. You need to farm while keeping the border safe." Cheng Xianping truly admired him.

"We didn't farm before, and the imperial court has paid for the army. This year, the locust plague has caused a lot of crops, and the losses have been particularly serious, so the imperial court did not pay the army."

Xuanyuanchen still thanked Chu Lixuan very much. If it weren't for Chu Lixuan, their Zhenbei Army would have suffered heavy losses.

In particular, the traitor He Jianjun couldn't find, let alone growing food, he couldn't even keep the territory under his feet.

"If it wasn't for your Lord Chu suggesting that my father grow potatoes, we wouldn't know how to survive."

"Our Lord Chu is amazing. My cousin, let me tell you, Lord Chu used to lead troops to fight, but he is fast and good at planting rice!"

"He can still plant rice? My father said that he was born in an aristocratic family since he was a child, and he went to the battlefield at the age of twelve. How could he plant rice!"

Xuanyuanchen's admiration for Chu Lixuan was engraved in his bones since he was a child.

Because his father and king learned from Chu Lixuan's grandfather to form an army, they have always exchanged letters, so they are very clear about Chu Lixuan's affairs.

"Yes, not only Master Chu, but also Madam Chu. Madam Chu is also very powerful. The Master of Tianyi Valley, Shaogu, still learns medical surgery and suture with Madam Chu!"

Before Cheng Xianping worshipped Chu Lixuan and his wife, it was like a surging river.

The newly recognized cousins ​​admired Chu Lixuan very much, so they talked so much that they were reluctant to part.

"Little general, my lord, please go back and discuss something important."
