Chapter 397: Is it a head too?
397 is also tall, right? "That's not easy. Whoever drinks it, just instruct the servants to send it to them." Dongfang Yu said half-jokingly.
"Don't, don't you say they are scheming, in case the things I sent are good, and when they reach them, it will be bad if there are more dirty things." Xia Beibei also laughed.
No matter how good she is here, those people will not like her. Just her title as a country girl, her things are already disgusted by them.
As for what she just said, even if it was a joke, she should be more careful in the future, who knows if it will become true.
"That's true, those people are all conscienceless and do bad things." Dongfang Yu nodded seriously.
Belle is his person, and it is difficult to guarantee that those people will let her go, especially at the moment when Belle is absolutely strong and does not even give face to her father.
"Hehe, Dongfang, it's not all bad things when they do things, at least in their opinion, they are all for their own good." Xia Beibei replied with a smile.
Everyone has different positions, what they do, and what decisions they make are determined by people. They feel that what they do is right, and that is right, for their own interests.
"Hmph, anyway, you should stop interacting with them in the future." Dongfang Yu said with a cold snort.
"I know, can't I hide from them in the future?" Xia Beibei said cheerfully.
Does he still think he is willing to deal with those princes and princesses whose eyes are higher than the top? In her eyes, those people are not as lovable as the crops grown in the fields.
"It's good to know." Seeing her answer, Dongfang Yu didn't say anything anymore, but turned to look outside, "Someone, bring Belle's dinner to the dining room."
"Yes, slaves obey." The maid outside the door immediately turned and left.
"Bei Er, you must be starving until you sleep at this time. I will accompany you to dinner, and Xiaoju will also go." Dongfang Yu glanced at Xia Xiaoju, then looked at Xia Beibei and said.
"Okay, okay." Xia Xiaoju responded happily immediately.
"You, it's clear that you've been busy all day and haven't eaten dinner yet?" Xia Beibei gave him a sullen look and replied.
You don’t have to guess, he must have been busy all day.
When Dongfang Yu heard his words, he didn't argue, but just smiled, "Yuan Cheng's army has a lot of affairs, and it's almost winter, and a lot of money has to be spent. Without my approval, this winter, they will So sad."
"Didn't they let them grow some crops by themselves? Could it be that they can't grow them according to my method?" Xia Beibei asked.
It doesn't make sense, is it a wild land, really special? Otherwise, whether it is corn or vegetables, you can always grow some, right?
"Let's talk while we walk." Dongfang Yu took her hand and walked outside.
"According to your method, a lot of vegetables were planted. Those generals, for the sake of their mouths, I don't know where they got a lot of vines and planted them in the ground. They said that the grapes produced many fruits. , everyone can eat it.”
really didn't laugh at him to death.
But the land belongs to everyone, they can plant whatever they want, as long as they can grow crops, and if the grapes can bear bunches of fruit, it is a great achievement for them.
"Growing grapes?" Xia Beibei raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, Belle, the army is no better than ordinary people. Not to mention fruit, even steamed bread and pickles, you have to eat it sparingly. Throughout the year, it's not even a few meals of meat." Dongfang Yu sighed lightly.
"I'll go take a look then." Xia Beibei said.
For so many years, there has never been any major war in the border guarded by the wild, and the army has only occasionally had a small fight, which is not a big move.
And such a large army needs food, clothing, and silver, which is not a small sum.
…
"Dongfang, I remember you said that Yuan Chengjun is in Yuancheng near the Thousand Layers, right?" When they arrived at the dining hall, a few people sat down to eat together, because they were used to it in Xiajia Village, and Dongfang Yu had not used the food before. Wu Shisan and Feng Xing'er also called over for dinner.
During the meal, Xia Beibei asked suddenly.
"Yes." Dongfang Yu responded, "Yuancheng is not far from the Thousand Layers Realm, and riding a horse is only half a column of incense time."
"How many people are there in Yuancheng?" Xia Beibei asked.
In a place with an army stationed, there should be a lot of people willing to live there, not to mention Dongfang Yu's character, the army must be strictly controlled, and the people must live well in Yuancheng.
"No." Dongfang Yu replied immediately.
"No?" Xia Beibei frowned, how could it not be?
"Nine girls, you don't know, Yuancheng has always been a place where the army is stationed in the wild, and the people rarely live there. A lot of connections." Wu Shisan immediately answered Xia Beibei's doubts for Dongfang Yu.
"That means, the entire Yuancheng, all the houses, all the land, mountains, water, and fields are owned by the army?" Xia Beibei asked again.
"You can say the same, Belle." Dongfang Yu nodded.
"No shops for sale?" Xia Beibei asked.
Is it impossible? Even in places under the military's control, there are always some people who do business. Soldiers will always buy things they usually need, or if there are elderly people in the family, buy some things and ask someone to bring them to the elderly and children, right?
This is still allowed in the army. As far as she knows, soldiers also have a day off, right?
"Yes, there are restaurants, banks, cloth houses, bathhouses, etc., everything is available, and there are even guards, but these are my properties." Dongfang Yu replied.
Xia Beibei: "..."
Well, she really underestimated Dongfang Yu, she clearly paid the soldiers, but in fact, when they wanted to buy something, the money went into Dongfang Yu's own pocket.
But this is also the case. Whoever earns money is not earning it. If you earn it and send it to them, it will save a fortune. This is indeed a good way.
"Then why don't you find some people to build a farm for raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks? Yuancheng must have a place for water. Get some fish to raise, and the army's meat can be solved in the future." She suggested.
Since it is self-sufficiency, it should be done more thoroughly. The cost that can be saved must be saved. After all, the cost of an army is not a small amount. To buy green vegetables and radishes every day, you have to pay tens of thousands of kilograms. Calculate it.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it, Belle is still smart." Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table with his chopsticks, and said with a hint of excitement on his face.
"According to what you said before, it is an industrial chain, isn't it? Raising poultry can produce..."
"Stop, Dongfang, we are eating, take it easy, ah." She heard Dongfang Yu wanted to continue, she could bear it, for fear that after a few other people listened to it, they would not be able to eat.
"Well, I'll talk about this later, and I'll talk about it later." Dongfang Yu responded repeatedly.
"But relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea, this is absolutely right. With good resources, how can you not use them? After a few days, I will go to Yuancheng to take a look and make a good plan for you. When the plan comes out, it is guaranteed to be self-sufficient." Xia Beibei patted her chest and said.
Even if you can’t be self-sufficient, at least the most basic aspects of eating can be greatly improved, right? The soldiers can also work harder for the East.
"Okay." Dongfang Yu responded.
…
"My lord, you have to decide for Jiong'er and the others, but you can't favor the prince." In Dongfang Yunhao's study, Lian Ji held a cup of sweet soup, put it down in front of Dongfang Yunhao, and carefully looked at it. He glanced at him with a look of grievance, and said to him pitifully.
Dongfang Yunhao frowned when he heard the words, put down the book in his hand in displeasure, and looked at Lian Ji.
"Where did the prince offend you again?" He specially aggravated the word offense.
From the last time his eldest son came back to this time to bring Xia Beibei into the palace, he could clearly feel that Yu'er's uncompromising temperament had become stronger, leaving him no room for refusal.
Just like yesterday, Yu’er, the prince, brought evidence directly from Yefu and put Lian Hongchun into prison. He didn’t even say a word here.
However, it’s the same whether to say it or not. Even the crime committed by Hong Chun has ironclad evidence, which no one can turn over.
Although his temperament has become stronger, Yu'er is not as mindless as before when he does things, and only cares about doing things, which makes him gratified.
"This... **** ye, look at what you said, how can the prince offend the concubine, it's too late for him to hide from the concubine." When Lian Ji heard his words, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.
That guy, Dongfang Yu, said that he was offended and not offended. She received news early in the morning that her nephew, Hong Chun, had been sent to prison.
She knew that this was the end of the matter, and it was useless to make trouble. Instead, it would make the prince embarrassed between her and Dongfang Yu, and he would be bored with her.
It's just that she couldn't help but ask about Jiong'er.
"It's good for you to know, the dignified son, you actually need to hide from your aunt, which shows how you treat him on weekdays." Dongfang Yunhao did not give Lian Ji a good face, and asked in a cold voice.
A few months ago, even Ji ordered someone to kill an innocent maid in the house. After being harassed by an old couple to beg for her daughter, bad things about her appeared one after another, and he was about to lose it. Be patient.
If it wasn't for Jiong'er's sake, how could he allow Lian Ji to be so rambunctious? But she can cry enough, and sometimes he has no choice but to follow her words.
But yesterday Yuer had enough to say, how long will she be at the mercy of Lian Ji? Is it a head too?
"My lord, that's why the prince is hiding from his concubine, what's the matter with the concubine?" Lian Ji asked reluctantly.
Dongfang Yu himself couldn't get used to seeing her walking in front of him, and she wasn't happy to see him. It was better if she didn't see him, so as not to be annoyed by him.
