Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

Chapter 229 229. Father-in-law
He ordered Zhu Jin to make some food, and sent it to the study with Yulu soup.

Since Feng Jinxu came back, he stayed inside for two or three hours every day, and it was inconvenient for Wen to disturb him, so he said to Fu Yi, who was guarding the gate, outside.

"This is for the uncle, and it hurt your eyes carefully. In addition, you told the uncle that my mother's family has sent a letter, saying that I will be able to go to the Eastern Capital City before the end of the month. When the uncle has time, I want to arrange with him. Mother and the others residence."

"Don't worry, grandma, the subordinates will go in and tell the uncle later."

"Well, there are Lao Fu guards."

After Wen Shi left, Fu Yi went to knock on the door lightly.

"what's up?"

Feng Jinxu inside asked questions without emotion. If others listened to it, they would feel scared, but Fu Yi had already gotten used to it.

"Grandma brought some food over."

"come in."

After Fu Yi entered, he closed the door of the study, put the food boxes on the four-plan table under the open window, and took them out one by one.

Not to mention the tangy aroma, the appearance is also exquisitely made, and it is the craftsmanship of Hibiscus at first glance.

"Grandpa, Grandma just sent a letter saying that there is news from Shuzhou that she will be able to arrive in the capital at the end of the month. Grandma wants to discuss with you how to arrange for her natal family."

"Oh, I see."

He was still writing something in detail in his hand, and Fu Yi didn't dare to go up to read it. He knew that Feng Jinxu hated subordinates who listened and read, so he didn't dare to go forward casually.

It wasn't until the last word was written that I came over to eat something.

Wen's preparations have never been seen before, especially Zhu Jin's cooking, which changes new tricks every day, which is really dexterous.

"The matter in the two Zhejiang provinces will break out sooner or later. At that time, we will have to transfer grain from other places to make up the shortfall. Shuzhou, where my father-in-law lives, is also a place with a lot of grain. I'm afraid we need to prepare in advance."

There is one more thing that he didn't mention, and that is the problem of rainwater this year.

Sure enough, as A Yao expected, since the end of February, the rain has been falling one after another.

Although it is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, it is not so unrestrained.

If it lasts for a few months, not to mention growing food, the river embankment will skyrocket and the land will not gather. It will be a big problem.

So, after thinking about it for a while, he put down the food in his hand.

Picking up a pen, he wrote a letter in an eloquent manner, and handed it to Fu Yi.

"You send this letter to Shuzhou and hand it over to my father-in-law. He is the magistrate of Shuzhou and will deal with it himself."

"Yes!"

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Fu Yi went to the post station to expedite the letter, which was much faster than usual.

In about seven or eight days, Wen Zhonghe, the prefect of Shuzhou, received a letter from his son-in-law in the capital.

He is a native of Shuzhou. The unique climate and geographical location make people in Shuzhou not show their age. Although he is 50 or years old, he looks not much older than Feng Jinxu.

Slightly plump, with a fair complexion, he does not look like an official, but a wealthy merchant.

"Oh? It's been seven or eight years. This is the first time I've received a letter from my son-in-law. Let me see what he said?"

Zhan Xin took a look, and his originally smiling expression gradually became serious.

Although he looks like a kind Maitreya Buddha on weekdays, his means and thoughts are no worse than those of the court officials in the capital.

Otherwise, he would not have secured his position as the magistrate of Shuzhou for decades.

There have been several opportunities for promotion, but he refused to leave, one is that he does not want to leave his homeland, and the other is that he does not want to get involved in the court's gossip.

If he hadn't taken a fancy to Feng Jinxu, he would not have married his daughter thousands of miles away.

Now what is said in this letter is all his personal speculation, but it is better to be prepared, not to mention that Ding Wangjun is also stationed here, and it is what the prefect should do to protect the safety of the side and the food and grass of the soldiers.

So he ordered to go down to collect grain in the government granary.

Shuzhou has been rich since ancient times, and the people are not only good at farming but also good at business, so harvesting grain is not difficult.

Soon the government granary was full of piles, because money was exchanged for grain, so many people thought that there would be a harvest in three or four months anyway, and it would be more cost-effective to exchange money for some business, so they lined up to ask Go to the government to sell food.

Wen Zhonghe didn't stop it for a while, causing a "grain backlog". Seeing that the granary could not hold it, he quickly sent someone to Ding Wangjun for support.

Now in charge of Prince Ding's army is Prince Ding Xiao Tingyi's confidant Yang Xu, who is Yang Zhao's elder brother.

Both of them are the orphans of general Yang's family. They lived in other places when they were very young. Fortunately, Xiao Tingyi rescued them and survived.

Not only gave them the ability to settle down, but also led them to become generals guarding Dajin.

The two brothers are now third-rank military generals, and they are loved by the lieutenant soldiers of King Ding's army.

It's just that Yang Xu's temperament is more stable, so he stayed in the army to take charge, while Yang Zhao followed King Ding to protect him.

Soon, the news from Wen Zhonghe's messenger and the news from Prince Ding's Mansion were all placed on his desk.

In the Southwest King Ding's army, the unmarried generals lived in the army and didn't like to go back to the mansion.

The same is true for Yang Xu, although the General's Mansion stands impressively on a bustling street in Shuzhou, the number of times he has gone back is very few.

After training the army, he entered the main tent.

Seeing that the two messages have the same meaning, I couldn't help laughing.

The prince also sent a message to ask him to stockpile food, and the magistrate also sent a message to let him help stock up. Could it be a coincidence?
So he said to the soldiers next to him, "Send an order to open the granary in the king's army to the magistrate, tell him how much you have, just send it, if you want to take it with this warrant in the future."

After speaking, he handed over the warrant, and there was a large word Ding written on it, which was a status symbol only for the rank of generals in King Ding's army, and this piece represented Yang Xu.

"Yes!"

The soldier hurriedly sent the warrant to the magistrate, and in the afternoon, a steady stream of Shuzhou grain was transported from the city to King Ding's army.

There have also been scenes of transporting military rations, and the people of Shuzhou are no strangers to it.

He thought that the magistrate collected grain just to send it to the army. Many people who had been protected by King Ding's army even sent some of their stockpiled grain at home without any money, to commemorate the peaceful and prosperous times guarded by King Ding's army.

The bustle of hoarding grain in Shuzhou intensified, but at the moment the Eastern Capital City was also bustling with it.

The once-a-year Spring Festival finally kicked off, and those scholars who were studying hard in the cold window, and the young masters who were eager to fight, all gathered at the entrance of the Gongyuan, which blocked the surrounding area.

Feng's family was also one of these senders off. Feng Jinlin and Yin Canwen got up early and ate breakfast with good intentions. They were so happy that Feng Jinlin almost died. laugh out loud.
