To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 177 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

The grain from the national treasury has not been allocated, because it is not yet the autumn harvest, and now it will be the autumn harvest in ten days. Looking at the barren ridges along the road, You Miao knew that trouble was coming.

"Does the disaster relief matter belong to your political affairs hall?" Li Zhifeng asked.

You Miao shook her head and said, "In such a serious disaster, the Ministry of Household Affairs has to write a letter in person. I hope that boy will stand up."

You Miao only knew that the drought was serious, but he didn't know that it had reached this point. From Yangzhou to Liuzhou, ten fields and nine red waters, the stream was dry, and he didn't even need to detour and cross the bridge to cross the other bank, just stepping across the river bed to move forward.

The sky was full of stars, and when we approached the Yangtze River, we finally smelled some water vapor. There were a lot of waterwheels along the way, and there was probably some irrigation water flowing in the canal.

Li Zhifeng dismounted and washed his face by the canal in a starry suit, while You Miao inspected the ears of rice nearby. Although there was water for irrigation, it was not optimistic.

After returning to the villa that night, it was quiet. The entire Jiangbo Villa was fertile and fertile, and even Guozhuang in the south was irrigated with water.You Miao was delighted to see the fragrance of the rice, but also a little worried.My own land is taken care of by water trucks, and the harvest is good, but along the way, many places have suffered from drought, and most of the farmers have left their houses empty.

The boy on duty at night was overjoyed to see You Miao came back, and You Miao hurriedly signaled not to disturb anyone.

"Is Mrs. Qian asleep?" Li Zhifeng asked.

The boy said: "I just fell asleep not long ago, I'm going to wake it up and make supper for the young master."

Chang Yuan wakes up sleepily, and goes to get food - the eight servants that You Miao brought with him back then are now the masters in charge, and the whole villa is managed by these people.

After returning to her home, You Miao was a little strange. After eating supper, she went into the room with Li Zhifeng. After three full months of work, she was finally free for a few days.That night Li Zhifeng was like a hungry wolf who hadn't eaten meat for several months, hugging You Miao for a full night.

At dawn, You Miao fell asleep in a daze, holding Li Zhifeng in her arms, thinking how the two of them are still like a newly married couple after being together for so many years.This life is completely in Li Zhifeng's hands.

However, not long after You Miao fell asleep, there was a noise outside, and someone asked, "Why don't you get up?" Pushing the door open, Li Zhifeng got up immediately.

It was the first time for You Miao to be barged into the room without warning, and immediately became flustered, and woke up most of the time after falling asleep, Li Zhifeng was furious: "Who is guarding the outside of the room!"

Li Zhifeng wrapped his robes and went out, but met You Dechuan face to face. You Dechuan's face flushed red, his beard and hair trembled, and he said coldly, "You...you...You Miao!"

You Dechuan is not stupid either. When he saw his son hugging a man naked under the blanket, he knew what was going on. You Miao also put on her clothes and came out. When she saw her father barging in rashly, her expression turned pale. so pretty.

Mrs. Wang also came. Seeing the situation, she hurried up and dragged You Dechuan away.

The boys hurried over to guard the courtyard gate.

You Miao wanted to get mad on the spot, and it's only been a few months since he bothered the old man, so what's the matter?You Miao and Li Zhifeng looked at each other for a while, You Miao burst out laughing for some reason.

Li Zhifeng was also very helpless, You Miao waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

On the same day, You Miao packed up and sat down in the hall after dinner. You Dechuan's expression was still unnatural. When You Miao sat down, Li Zhifeng went to make tea. You Miao asked, "What's the matter?"

You Dechuan let out a long breath, as if he wanted to teach You Miao a lesson, but he was a little afraid of You Miao's official authority, so Wang pulled You Dechuan's sleeve aside, signaling not to mention the matter of breaking in the morning.

You Dechuan thought over and over again, and said, "The news from your brother at the other end of Maocheng is that Liuzhou has been recovered."

"Yeah." You Miao said casually, still a little dissatisfied.

You Dechuan asked again: "Can you find the place where Your Majesty wants to go back to our house?"

"I'm afraid it won't work now." You Miao felt annoyed after hearing this. You Dechuan came to him a few times, either to ask You Hange for an official position or to ask him to go to Zhao Chao for land, and the thought made him feel uncomfortable.

You Dechuan said again: "I heard that you are very busy with official business in the political affairs hall? Your brother came to look for you several times, but was blocked by the porter..."

Wang immediately laughed and said, "Look at what you said, is Miaozi still avoiding his brother? Your father can't speak, Miaozi, don't take it to heart..."

You Miao said: "I want to go to court early in the morning. I'm not here in the early morning. I eat with Li Zhifeng at the barracks at night. If there's anything wrong, ask my elder brother to bring me a note and leave it at the concierge. When I see the note, I'll go to the household department to see him." .”

You Dechuan groaned, looked at Li Zhifeng, then at You Miao, thinking about what to say, but Li Zhifeng smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Shi drinks tea."

The boy came over to bring tea to You Dechuan, but You Dechuan didn't know what to say.After a while, he asked again: "When can we get the land of Biyu Villa back?"

"I don't know..." You Miao already had a bit of a headache. She thought she would come back to rest for a few days, so she said, "I'll try my best."

You Dechuan said: "For the past month, the scholars in Liuzhou have been saying that they can go back soon."

You Miao thought that it would be better to speak up, so that You Dechuan would not go out and make random people, and said, "Father, let me tell you the truth, no matter who owns the land in Liuzhou, it is impossible to take it back, so you can rest assured in the villa." Let's live first."

You Dechuan was startled suddenly, and You Miao said again: "As soon as Liuzhou has just been recovered, Nie Dan is not sure that he will be able to occupy it. I'm afraid there will be some things to come out of fighting back and forth. You can live in the villa with peace of mind first."

You Dechuan frowned: "What could happen?"

You Dechuan looked like he was harboring a dream, which was shattered by You Miao's blow, and he aged a lot overnight. After all, it may have been many years, You Miao looked at his father and thought.

The old man would have such a desolate day... You Miao thought of his mother, who was serious and brought thousands of tea seedlings from Qiao's family over to give him a foundation.In the end, it ended up in this field. It was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi... If my mother's spirit in heaven knew about it, I don't know what to think.

You Dechuan didn't want to leave for a while, so You Miao wanted to go out to avoid it, looked at the villa, and winked at Li Zhifeng, Li Zhifeng understood and followed him out.

Jiangbo Mountain Villa is full of abundance. Although the sky is clear and people are sweating profusely, it should be a good harvest. The tenants straightened up and greeted You Miao one after another.

After walking a few steps, Yaoguang came to report on horseback in the distance.

"Young master!" Yao Guang shouted on his horse, "Someone is here in Maocheng! They say they want General Li to enter the court, and we have something to discuss!"

You Miao went crazy when she heard it: "Tell someone! General Li is not here!"

Li Zhifeng hurriedly stopped You Miao, and asked Yaoguang, "Where is it? The Ministry of War is under General Nie's command?"

"From the harem!" Yaoguang said.
