Chapter 373： recognize relatives

Chapter 373

Jiang Xinyan saw that Chu Lixuan didn't answer her meaning, and 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 said in a low voice.

"That's fine! Anyway, our farm still needs to be expanded, and the farm has just begun! 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 likes land so much? Then if she takes the whole 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 of 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 stones of potatoes, we will return them to Chu Lixuan at that time, and sixty thousand stones 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, please ask the lord to arrange for someone to write the documents, but the sick and disabled cannot pay the normal price."

Uncle Cheng thought that the patient would still need to take medicine, and he would also delay working hours, 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 kind of money do you need!

Although the King of 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 will thank the Lord on behalf of Chu Ye." Cheng Sanshu said with sincerity and fear.

The number of people to exchange for the amount of food is drawn up by both parties, 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.

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

Uncle Cheng 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 after he left 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 you existed before. Brother Zhao told me last night, so I didn't prepare any gifts."

Xuanyuanchen 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 anymore. I can recognize my uncle and cousin. Chen is very happy. My sister Shuang'er is still living in Sludge Town, does my cousin know?"

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

Xuanyuanchen looked at his cousin who looked somewhat similar to him, "My mother is under too much pressure, please forgive my uncle and cousin."

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

Xuanyuan Chen 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 eloquently, so as to avoid resentment.

"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 really 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, please play here for a few more days this time." Xuanyuanchen wanted to ask his father if he wanted to recognize his relatives.

His mother-in-law, it is absolutely impossible for him to recognize his uncle and aunt. Xuanyuanchen knows Li Shufei's virtue too well.

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

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

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

"If we drive them away, we will tear up 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."

"North Vietnamese people are too hateful. Their horses, cattle, and sheep trample so many crops that they don't pay for it!" 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 really admired him.

"We didn't farm before, and the imperial court had the army's salaries. This year, the locust plague has affected a lot of crops, and the losses have been particularly serious. That's why the imperial court did not issue army salaries."

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

Especially, the traitor He Jianjun couldn't find, let alone grow food, he couldn't even keep the territory he was standing on.

"If it wasn't for your Lord Chu suggesting my father to 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 is a worship that has been engraved in his bones since he was a child.

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

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

Cheng Xianping worshipped Chu Lixuan and his wife like a surging river before they went on and on.

The newly recognized cousins ​​all admire Chu Lixuan very much, so they talk a lot and are reluctant to separate.

"Little General, the lord invites you to go back and discuss something important."
