MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 32
Jiang Lin pinched a handful of rice in his hand, his expression was a little dazed, and he asked, "Wei Yunzhao, is that why you chose the position of Tuntian Secretary?"
After Wei Yunzhao's pair of dragon and phoenix twins saluted Wei Yunzhao, they took out a money bag and handed it to Wei Yunzhao for a look, and then Wei Yunzhao took out a handful of rice from the money bag...
The dragon and phoenix subordinates said that the big head had been placed on the village outside the city, and the rice in the money bag was brought back for Wei Yunzhao's purpose.
Because it was too late, Wei Yunzhao didn't ask the two of them any more, and seeing that they were not injured, he sent them down to rest.
But he himself was not sleepy looking at the rice in the money bag.
Jiang Lin didn't have any either, mainly because he was too curious.
Wei Yunzhao explained to him, "This is rice in Xuancheng. Xuancheng is thousands of miles away from Dayue, and you have to take a boat to get there."
Jiang Lin guessed that this Xuancheng rice was the Champa rice he had heard before. Champa rice is drought-resistant, early-maturing, and highly adaptable. Tropical or coastal areas can be planted twice a year. In this era of low yield per mu, Two crops of rice a year can greatly increase rice production.
"Why did you ask people to find this Xuancheng rice?"
Wei Yunzhao shook his head lightly, his voice suddenly said, "It's not me, it was my grandfather and father who asked people to find it, and I just asked people to get it back."
"Because the soldiers at the border gates don't have enough to eat, and the soldiers on the **** battlefield don't have enough to eat, isn't it ridiculous?"
It's not ridiculous at all, because since ancient times, withholding military pay and using the lives of soldiers at the border as a tactic of playing tricks is the most common method used by those idiots in power.
Jiang Lin knew that a general who was familiar with military books knew these things better than him.
"So you just try to find better seeds by yourself, and try to grow more food to feed the soldiers?"
Wei Yunzhao: "The imperial court can be ruthless about it, but the generals can't ignore those soldiers who were born and died with us. If the military pay is too much, they will ask the people for food. The people can barely make ends meet. Then grab them from their mouths. It’s hard to get over the food, and if the people are driven into a hurry, the world will be in chaos, and it will be those of us who are fed by the people’s rations that will bring order to the chaos.”
But if it wasn’t for a disaster year, the whole of Dai Viet would actually have no shortage of food, it’s just piled up in some people’s granaries. They would rather have the food rotten and moldy than take it out to support a group of people who are defending their homes and the country. . Because they feel that those people will pose a huge threat to them and may take away the power that originally belonged to them at any time.
The situation will be better when you meet a wise king who cares about the people and the soldiers. When you meet a foolish king, most of them will end up with the government forcing the people to rebel. But there are far more corrupt officials than foolish ones, and this kind of thing can never be controlled by one person.
At this time, I have to say thank you to Grandpa Yuan!
The rice yielding a thousand catties per mu made them full!
Jiang Lin pinched Wei Yunzhao's face and comforted him kindly, "Although it sounds miserable, you are trying to save yourself, and you have brought the seeds back now. The generals of your Wei family are all very good, really. of."
Wei Yunzhao's face hurt a little from being pinched, he silently pushed Jiang Lin's hand away, and said, "You can accompany me out of the city to Zhuangzi tomorrow, I, Tuntian Secretary, should also take office."
Jiang Lin quickly agreed, "No problem!"
"Then sleep now and get up early tomorrow."
…
Waking up early means getting up early, but it didn't work out.
Although there is no one in the Wei family at present, Jiang Lin still has two good brothers. In order to deliver news to Jiang Lin, the two waited at the gate of Wei's mansion early in the morning, and even scared the porter who opened the door. one jump.
Zhou Chengwang ate the egg pancake he snatched from Jiang Lin's plate, and said to Jiang Lin with a smile on his face, "This time the queen and the crown prince won't lose money by stealing chickens. Not only did they lose their position as a political adviser, but they also made the emperor unhappy. Now All the civil and military officials in the court know that the empress is using her life as a bargaining chip to ask the courtiers for an official position."
"Shenzhi Zhengshi has been appointed? Whose person?" Jiang Lin asked.
Zhou Chengwang said: "The emperor asked my father to draw up three candidates, and he selected the second prince's group. My father said that it will be announced in the early morning."
Then he glanced at Wei Yunzhao regretfully, and whispered to Jiang Lin, "You too, are you out of your mind to use a second-rank official to exchange the life of a beast like Wei An? You don't want to look at this city full of capital." There are so many relatives of the emperor, and even the first-rank and second-rank officials can't be counted with one hand. As for the current fifth-rank officials of your Wei family, anyone can pick you up."
"The stepmother in your Hou's mansion is watching you all the time, trying to get back all the losses you suffered before. You are in such a miserable situation now, she will definitely not let you go." Zhou Chengwang was quite worried.
Jiang Lin shook his head, not because he didn't want to stay, "It's because he couldn't keep it. Why do you think the empress dared to say that Wei Yunzhao traded his official position for Wei An's life? It's just that our empress knows who will get the position It is impossible to really give it to Wei Yunzhao."
Jiang Lin gradually discovered that both the Emperor Changde and the Empress had an unreasonable fear of Wei Yunzhao, and still had the idea of killing him. He didn't know whether it was because of Wei Yunzhao himself or because the novel set him to be The influence caused by the role of cannon fodder.
Their current situation is to truly seek and live.
Zhou Chengwang patted Jiang Lin with a complicated expression, as if to comfort him.
Du Yuling saw Jiang Lin bring out food from the food box next to him, and asked, "Are you planning to go out?"
"Yeah," Jiang Lin turned his head and pointed at Wei Yunzhao, "Our Tuntian Secretary is about to take office, and we will go to Zhuangzi outside the city to farm."
Zhou Chengwang blurted out, "You also know him."
The young master of the Hou Mansion, he grew up made of gold and silver, and he still farms the land, and he is not afraid of being laughed at when he speaks out.
Jiang Lin received strong contempt, he defended himself, "I still know Tian."
Du Yuling: "..."
Consciously prudent and mature, he didn't make trouble with these two, but asked Wei Yunzhao if he could let them go to Zhuangzi to play with him.
Wei Yunzhao said: "As long as the two of you don't think it's boring to go to Zhuangzi, then of course you can."
So the matter was settled like this, the two young masters who had nothing else to do would follow along to join in the fun.
It was also a coincidence that when the carriage reached the gate of the city, it ran into Jiang Jinyue who was also about to leave the city.
"Miss, it's the carriage of the Zhou family and the Wei family, and it looks like they are going out of the city." The maid opened the curtain and peeped out to recognize the two carriages behind.
"Wei family...Jiang Lin," Jiang Jinyue immediately remembered that the system said that Jiang Lin was a new character who would destroy her plan and block her way. The carriage catches up and throws them off."
The coachman didn't know what was wrong with the young lady, but the master ordered, and the servant naturally obeyed.
Later, when Zhou Chengwang saw the carriage speeding up suddenly, he got excited, and he directed the driver, "Hurry up, catch up, follow closely, I want to see who is in this carriage, and I am in a hurry to do something that I can't see people's business.
Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao were in a carriage, but before they knew it, they had already started chasing the carriage. Seeing that Zhou Chengwang's carriage disappeared in the blink of an eye, he sighed to Wei Yunzhao, "I didn't expect the carriage to go so fast after leaving the city. .”
Xun Qi, who was driving, heard this and quickly asked, "Young Madam, can you go faster?"
Jiang Lin: "Then go after them, don't be too far behind them, they don't know the way."
Three carriages sped past the pipeline outside Shengjing city one after another, kicking up dust all over the place.
Unable to get rid of the carriage behind, Jiang Jinyue became more and more anxious. She asked the system in her mind, "System, did Jiang Lin also go for the grain seeds?"
System: [After testing, more than 80% of them may have the same purpose as the host. ]
Jiang Jinyue's hatred surfaced, she would never let Jiang Lin spoil her good deed this time, if Jiang Lin dares to block her way, then don't blame her for being cruel.
Jiang Jinyue urged the driver again, "Hurry up, drive faster!"
The coachman reminded, "Miss, you can't go any faster, otherwise something will happen."
Jiang Jinyue just wanted to go to Zhuangzi to get the grain seeds ahead of Jiang Lin and the others, so she didn't listen to what the coachman said, and just kept urging.
The coachman had no choice but to speed up, and the whip crackled.
Zhou Cheng saw that the carriage in front was going faster, and wanted to urge the driver to hurry up, but was stopped by Du Yuling, "It seems that we are going to the same place, we will run into each other, if the speed is too fast, accidents will happen, don't worry about it for a while for a while."
"Okay, but no matter how fast you run, I will definitely catch them," Zhou Chengwang clenched his fists.
"Why do you react so strongly to the people of the Anyang Marquis Mansion?" Du Yuling was a little puzzled.
"Of course it's because they bullied Jiang Lin. This family doesn't have anyone good except Jiang Lin. Can I still like them?" He has been straight since he was a child. Anyway, he has always made it clear who he likes and who he doesn't like.
"Could it be that you still think they are good?" Zhou Chengwang asked back.
Du Yuling shook her head, "I just think that if I don't like it, I don't want to keep in touch, so why bother to provoke her?"
Zhou Chengwang sat with his legs crossed, "I'm not provoking, I just want to see the excitement," Zhou Chengwang moved closer and lowered his voice to talk to Du Yuling, "I suspect that Jiang Jinyue is in the carriage, who is she out to have an affair with?" Woolen cloth."
Du Yuling's eyes widened immediately, unexpectedly he could think quite well.
"Jiang Jinyue likes the prince, and she wholeheartedly wants to marry into the East Palace as the princess. It is impossible to do such a self-destructive thing," Du Yuling denied.
"That's hard to say. Don't forget that there is Xu Tianming. Jiang Jinyue can seduce more men than Jiang Lin. Those who seduce her are so desperate for her. It's not as useless as our Lin'er. No one really likes him. of."
Du Yuling: "..."
For a moment, I can't tell who I'm praising...
Du Yuling was thinking about how to answer the conversation, when she felt that the carriage stopped suddenly.
"Hey, why did the carriage stop?" Zhou Chengwang reacted faster, and directly opened the curtain to ask the coachman, but the coachman didn't return, so Zhou Chengwang laughed and jumped out of the car.
He also greeted Du Yuling, "Hurry up, hurry up, come down and watch a good show, hahahaha, I'm so ridiculous."
When Du Yuling got off the carriage, he saw the carriage that fell into the field by the side of the road, and Jiang Jinyue who fell out of the carriage and was covered in mud.
Zhou Chengwang laughed like a fool, "Why haven't Jiang Lin and the others come, they are about to get up."
Du Yuling asked: "Do you really want to rush over and hold Jiang Jinyue in the field so that she won't get up?"
"You reminded me, if Jiang Lin doesn't arrive before she gets up, I'll go over and put her in the field, and wait until Lin'er arrives to see how miserable Jiang Jinyue is."
Du Yuling: "..."
He silently closed his mouth, afraid of reminding too much, something irreversible will happen in a while.
Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao also happened to catch up. They saw a picture of a beautiful woman coming out of the mud. Jiang Jinyue walked from the field to the ridge covered in mud and water with difficulty.
Jiang Jinyue saw that Jiang Lin and the others were all looking at her by the side of the road, their eyes could kill.
Jiang Jinyue said coldly: "I will remember today's account, Jiang Lin, I will not let you go!"
Then he was supported by the servant girl and went to Zhuangzi's direction.
Jiang Lin stared at Jiang Jinyue's back, and asked Wei Yunzhao next to him, "Is she sick, and I can blame her for falling into the field?"
Wei Yunzhao's answer was, "If that's the case, then don't worry about it."
But soon they met again at the gate of Zhuangzi's residence. Jiang Jinyue and her maid had been knocking on the door, "Is there anyone, open the door, hurry up." She looked very anxious.
Jiang Lin and the others watched from behind. After a while, Jiang Lin said, "Hey, the master is here."
Jiang Jinyue turned her head to meet Jiang Lin's gaze, "Is this the house of the Wei family?"
"Impossible," Jiang Jinyue subconsciously denied, how could it be Wei's house. The system clearly said that the grain seeds were placed in this house, so Jiang Linxian snatched them away again?
Jiang Jinyue couldn't accept this fact, "Jiang Lin, don't try to lie to me, I won't let you succeed this time, it's mine, no one can take it away!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Jinyue turned around and continued to knock on the door.
Jiang Lin shook his head, feeling that Jiang Jinyue's illness was getting worse.
"Xun Qi, open the door," Wei Yunzhao ordered.
Xun Qi opened the door with the key, and Jiang Lin and the others lined up to pass by Jiang Jinyue, and just walked in.
Jiang Jinyue's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "How could it be?"
She called the system frantically in her heart, "Why, why, the system, why didn't you tell me that this is the house of the Wei family, why are my grain seeds in the house of the Wei family?"
The voice of the system is as indifferent as ever: [The grain seeds were brought back by the character Wei Yunzhao, and it is not surprising that they are placed in Wei's house. The system allows the host to obtain the seeds and does not restrict the means used by the host. The host is asked to get the grain seeds before they are planted. ]
Jiang Jinyue almost collapsed after hearing what the system said. She didn't expect that this seed was going to be snatched from Wei Yunzhao.
Jiang Jinyue was not reconciled, "Why! Didn't the system say that I am the heroine? Why can Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao be ahead of me in everything? Why should they?"
System: [So the system requires the host to win over or eradicate these two people. It is the host who failed to complete the system task and was passive, and the system does not bear relevant responsibilities. ]
Jiang Jinyue clenched her fists, "I'm too soft-hearted, I won't let them go again, I must get the grain this time!"
Jiang Jinyue learned from her elder brother that the Empress is already looking after the Crown Prince. If she can't get the food seeds and the bargaining chips are not enough, based on her previous reputation ruined by Jiang Lin, the Empress will not choose her.
Jiang Jinyue gritted her teeth, wiped the muddy water on her face, and said to the servant girl, "Let's go, let's go back first!"
Zhou Chengwang was disappointed to see Jiang Jinyue leaving with her maid through the crack of the door, "I left so soon, I thought she was going to mess with something, Lin'er, why do you think Jiang Jinyue came here suddenly, look As if looking for something."
Jiang Lin Dayue guessed what Jiang Jinyue was looking for, rice seeds, Xuancheng rice seeds that Wei Yunzhao's people brought back from Xuancheng.
In the original book, it was Jiang Jinyue who offered the seeds of Xuancheng rice that squeezed out the original candidates for the crown princess and successfully entered the East Palace.
"I'm looking for a way to marry the prince," Jiang Lin gave Zhou Cheng a look, without elaborating on him.
Zhou Chengwang was quickly attracted by the layout of the house, and looked around while walking, "Hey, Xun Qi, is there no one living in this house?"
Xun Qi replied: "There are people, but they are all in the backyard, and the young master has ordered that no one who knocks will open the door. We all have keys, so there is no need to knock."
"No wonder Jiang Jinyue has been photographing the door for so long and nobody paid any attention to her."
Wei Yunzhao asked Xun Qi to greet Zhou Chengwang and Du Yuling, and he led Jiang Lin to see the rice seeds of Xuancheng rice.
There are five sacks in total, weighing about three hundred catties, and the seedlings can grow four to five hundred acres after they are grown.
"When do you plan to let people raise seedlings?"
"I guess Jiang Jinyue came here for this Xuancheng rice seed today, and she will come again soon."
Wei Yunzhao said: "The land has already been rectified, and the seeds can be sown today."
"Then today, we'll go back after sowing," Jiang Lin made a decision. He didn't believe that the seeds were stained with manure, and Jiang Jinyue could let someone pick them up again.
Wei Yunzhao went to find someone, and Jiang Lin was in charge of moving the seeds outside. During the move, he quietly exchanged a batch of seeds from the space, which could yield a thousand catties per mu.
The manager of the village was surnamed Yang. Manager Yang called all the households together and gave an order that no matter how busy they were, they must raise the more than 300 catties of rice seeds today, and they could have a day off tomorrow to rest.
The figurine households were very happy, and it was hard work when they started working.
Even Zhou Chengwang and Du Yuling, who were arrested and forced to work as coolies, both had more energy.
Jiang Lin wasn't there, he went to the pond to catch a lot of fish, and planned to have a fish feast at noon to reward his two good brothers.
And Wei Yunzhao told Jiang Lin that he was leaving for a while, but he disappeared and didn't come back until it was getting dark in the afternoon.
Jiang Lin didn't ask him where he was, but said that it was a pity that he didn't have the whole fish feast at noon.
"I don't know if I can taste Madam's handicraft at night?" Wei Yunzhao asked with a smile.
Jiang Lin said sincerely, "I have everything in my dream at night, I can do it."
"Young Madam, is there really nothing left? Soup is fine too, I can make rice to eat," Xun Qi said, actively fighting for leftovers for himself, he didn't want to eat them in his dreams.
Wei Yunzhao: "..." Shame on you!
Jiang Lin laughed outright, and showed him the way, "You can go to the kitchen and have a look."
Then Xun Qi slipped away from his master, and disappeared in a flash.
"You are not as good as Xun Qi in this respect, you don't even have to drink the leftover soup."
Jiang Lin was telling the truth. Although he did a lot at noon, Zhou Chengwang and the others were impressed by his craftsmanship. After the meal, there was really only some soup left. Because no one was washing the dishes, there was no time to pour it out.
Wei Yunzhao probably never thought that one day he would grab the leftover soup and rice with his subordinates. It was delicious and full, but his mood was a bit complicated.
Also because of the leftover soup, Xun Qi looked at him with bitter resentment, "What kind of eyes do you have, it looks like your son has robbed your wife," Zhou Chengwang gave a precise description.
Xun Qi turned his eyes away, and didn't want to bring up sad things again.
Zhou Chengwang didn't care, and turned to talk to Jiang Lin, "Aren't you going back to the city tonight?"
Jiang Lin shook his head, "I won't go back. Go back to Wei's house and help us tell our family members that we will go back tomorrow morning."
"Because of Jiang Jinyue?" Du Yuling asked with a frown.
Jiang Lin nodded, "There is something Jiang Jinyue wants in this house, and she won't be reconciled if she doesn't get it during the day. Let's stay here overnight."
Du Yuling had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't say much, and took Zhou Chengwang away, otherwise she would not be able to make it to the city in time.
…
On a night where the moon was black and murderous, the wind was high and the sky was on fire, the silent night was pierced by sharp knives, and the uninvited guests successfully alarmed the two **** dogs that were kept in the house.
When Jiang Lin pushed Wei Yunzhao out of the room, he happened to see two men in black being chased by two black shadows running all over the yard. Out of fear, he even forgot that he knew how to do light work.
A lot of people came, and two hidden weapons flew from the roof to rescue the two people who were being chased by dogs.
Jiang Lin ordered, "Guard Yang, take the dogs back to the house and don't hurt them."
Steward Yang immediately appeared in the courtyard, holding a dog in one hand, Ma Liu brought the dog into the house, and the door was closed tightly.
There are not many people living in this house, but nine out of ten are veterans who have retired from the battlefield. Although their skills are not as good as these men in black, they are not as easy to deal with as ordinary people.
Xun Qi had already fought with several men in black, and Wei Yunzhao told him not to keep alive, so the corpses lay in the yard soon.
Jiang Lin and the others also came here, but they died under Wei Yunzhao's hidden weapon before they got too close. Occasionally, those who got close were directly broken by Jiang Lin. After all, no one was pleased.
When all these people in the courtyard were settled, there were two bags of food missing in the house, which meant that they could sleep well for the rest of the night.
Early the next morning, after Jiang Lin explained how Steward Yang would take care of the sown rice seeds, he went back to the city with Wei Yunzhao.
He originally wanted to go to the Anyang Hou's Mansion to see Jiang Jinyue's jokes. After all, he sent so many people, and finally snatched back two bags of wheat seeds. He would probably cry angrily.
But before Jiang Lin watched Jiang Jinyue's joke, he first heard gossip about himself.
"You said that Jiang Jinyue went around telling people that I drove her carriage into the field yesterday, intending to throw her to death?"
Wei Yunjia nodded with a serious expression, "Yesterday I went to Sister Fei's house to play with her, and I heard her maid clearly when she reported back."
Jiang Lin: "..."
"Jiang Jinyue must have stepped on her brain when she fell down yesterday. She can even make up such an outrageous lie."
Not only can a lie be made up, but someone is willing to stand up for Jiang Jinyue for this lie.
"Young Madam, it's not good. Someone poured swill around outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, calling for you, Young Madam, to go out and get beaten."
The author has something to say: some texts are slow to write, and I can’t add updates for the time being. Let me draw a small prize, okay~
