Chapter 1085 392 Consonance (Four More)

Early in the morning, Nanxun Street in Kailian City was full of heat, no less than the sultry weather.

Today is a five-day market, and people from some surrounding villages also came to participate in the market.

Looking at the thriving scene not far ahead, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were filled with emotion. After the original Baiyue Battle, they had all seen the dilapidated, depressed and desolate look here.

This Nanxun Street is facing the South City Gate. Back then, the army of Baiyue drove straight in from here, burning, killing, looting, and committing all evils, turning this place into a hell on earth.

Until Xiao Yi led his troops to retake Kailian City, the place still had the lingering smell of blood and the stench of rotting corpses... The soldiers and the people worked together for three days to clean up this place. The corpses were burned uniformly, and the ashes were uniformly buried on a small hill in the southeast of Kailian City, and a monument was erected for future generations to worship.

However, the people living in this street basically did not leave any living space, so that this Nanxun Street was once deserted, and the people were reluctant to come here, and they called it a ghost street.

Cheng Yu thought that it would be a pity to abandon this place, so he came up with an idea to set up a market here, attracting people to come here, and rented out the ownerless house in the name of the garrison. Of course, if there are survivors who can come up with the vouchers and documents, they can also take back their own or their relatives' houses and shops.

Under the active operation of Cheng Yu, it has only been a year. The prosperity of the past has been restored, and the people have gradually recovered from their past pains. Many people have returned to live and work in peace here...

For Cheng Yu, this is probably the best compliment.

"Young Master," Cheng Yu changed his name to Xiao Yi as Young Master outside, "We originally decided to reduce the bursary for three years, but now one year has seen initial results, and the people's livelihood in Fuzhong and Kailian has stabilized. People who moved out of the two cities during the war also returned one after another..."

Since taking over the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian, Cheng Yu watched them come to life in his hands little by little. The sense of accomplishment brought to him in the process is indescribable. These two cities are now like him. like children...

During the speech, Cheng Yu's face was radiant, but he soon thought of something, and frowned: "Master Shi, should we compromise on the three-year reduction of the fortune..."

When he said this, Cheng Yu also felt embarrassed, but at the beginning, without the consent of King Zhennan, they arbitrarily let Fuzhong and Kailian cities reduce their fortunes. Originally, King Zhennan was killed because Xiao Yi seized these two cities. Feeling unhappy, after hearing the news, Zhennan King was even more furious. He felt that Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu were clearly trying to win over people's hearts and didn't take him as Zhennan King. After that, Zhennan King No money was ever transferred to the two cities again. There is no money to be allocated from the top, and the endowment is being reduced again. Therefore, the people's livelihood in the two cities seems to be recovering well, but in fact, the finances are getting more and more tight.

For more than a year, Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu have maintained close correspondence, and Xiao Yi also knows a little about the financial situation of Fuzhong and Kailian.

He pondered for a moment, then said decisively: "I think it is necessary to reduce the Fu for three years to give Fuzhong and Kailian more time to recuperate."

As the stinky girl said, only when the roots are deeply rooted and firmly established, can the herbs be full of vitality.

After a pause, he said again: "When I go back to Luoyue City, I will discuss it with Concubine Shizi to see if I can collect some money." He didn't believe that they couldn't make it through!

"Yes, Shi... Young Master!" Cheng Yu's face was full of brilliance, and his heart was surging, but he felt that he couldn't always let Shizi pay out money, and he had to train soldiers and support the people. Even if Shizi had gold and silver mountains, it was not enough. ! Or have a way to open source and reduce expenditure is...

"Cheng Yu, do you think this year seems to be particularly hot..." Xiao Yi was a little unsure. After all, he had been away from Southern Border for six years, and he only vaguely remembered that April was not so hot.

Cheng Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "The weather has indeed been much hotter than usual recently. Especially in our Fuzhong and Kailian cities, the terrain is lower than the surrounding areas, so it is hotter."

Xiao Yi recalled a story his grandfather told him about their marching and fighting, and he couldn't help but say, "So, maybe there will be summer heat this year."

Cheng Yu's face is straight, and the weather will freeze to death. Similarly, if the heat reaches a certain level, it will also kill people. Especially the elderly and children are more likely to contract diseases because of their poor constitution. Thinking of this, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "My subordinates will order people to prepare early."

Xiao Yi nodded, thinking thoughtfully: Grandfather and his old man happened to be in the southern border, I don't know if there is any good way to relieve the heat, and after returning home, I will discuss with the stinky girl...

At this time, Fu Yunhe interjected: "Big brother, Mr. Cheng, when we go back on business, we should pay attention to visiting this market... Big brother, shouldn't you bring back some local products for sister-in-law?" He smiled. winked.

When he said this, it reminded Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Cheng Yu was also knowledgeable and hurriedly said, "It's mine or not. Let's go, let's go shopping!"

The market in the morning is very different from the stalls in the lantern festival at night. The market sells fresh vegetables, fish and meat. Of course, there are also many stalls selling snacks and gadgets. No, there is a stall over there. Straw grasshoppers, frogs, etc., many children are surrounded by reluctance to leave.

Fu Yunhe was very childish, so he bought all the straw weaving that the craftsman had on hand, and distributed it to the children at will, which made the children's relatives a little embarrassed, and thanked them repeatedly, and Xiao Yi and the three also attracted a lot of curious eyes. .

After all, whether it is Fu Yunhe, Xiao Yi, or Cheng Yu, even if they are dressed in simple commoners, they are not from ordinary people at first glance.

What's more, Xiao Yi has a handsome face that is really striking.

In a flash, he attracted many girls, daughters-in-law, and mother-in-law to point at him and whisper:

"That son is so handsome!"

"Yeah yeah, and it looks familiar... Strange? Where have I seen it?"

"Sister Liu, don't brag. If you have seen such a handsome son, how could you forget it!"

"But where have I really seen it... ah!"

The whisper finally turned into a scream, and all of a sudden, a lot of eyes were drawn to the other side, and even the woman in Tsing Yi who was talking to Mrs. Liu felt a little embarrassed, and said to herself: Mrs. Liu, why? Shocked? !

"I remember!" Sister Liu seemed to have discovered some great secret, so shocked that even her voice trembled. She took a deep breath and tried to call out calmly, "Yes... Shizi!" At the last word, her voice was almost broken.

"Master Shi?... How could Shi Ye come to such a place?" The woman in Tsing Yi retorted intuitively.

But not only did she hear Mrs. Liu's words, but other people around also heard it. The three words "Shi Ziye" were like a stone thrown into the otherwise calm lake, and a circle appeared all around. The ripples in the circle are getting bigger and bigger, spreading farther and farther...

The people were whispering, "Here comes the prince," more and more people flocked over, some of whom greeted Xiao Yi at the city gate.

"It's the prince!"

"It's really the prince!"

"..."

The emotions of the people are getting more and more excited. Many people feel that they have lost their luck today, and they all gather around to see Xiao Yi's true face. The more enthusiastic people sell the fruits and snacks they sell. Everything was given to Xiao Yi in one go...

The three of Xiao Yi came out with only one bamboo. Where could he take so many things alone, someone kindly lent a two-wheeled wooden cart to Bamboo. In no time, the wooden cart was fully loaded.

Cheng Yu could only help by saying: "Dear fathers and fellow villagers, you are all in the heart of the world. You really can't let go of things..."

However, there were still some people who didn't give up. A middle-aged craftsman said boldly: "Master Shizi, Caomin heard that you just got married. Caomin wants to give you a pair of clay dolls. I wish you an early birth!" I got on a pair of clay dolls in bright red wedding dresses. Both clay dolls had round cheeks and a lovely blush when they laughed... Not to mention, they were really cute.

This craftsman's words really touched Xiao Yi's heart!

The stinky girl is about to get married. I believe that the day when they "have a precious son early" is just around the corner!

In the future, their children will be as cute as stinky girls, right? The temperament must not be like myself... I was too naughty when I was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I was going to the house.

As Xiao Yi thought about it, he took the pair of clay dolls with great interest, squinted his eyes and smiled brightly, "Thank you very much." He gave Zhuzi a look, motioning him to quietly give the craftsman a little bit of silver. Bamboo immediately nodded understandingly.

Since their identity was revealed, Xiao Yi and his party could no longer go to the market, so they went back to the garrison.

Today is still a full load.

However, most of the things that these people sent were fresh vegetables and fruits, which should not be stored for a long time, so most of the things were still cheaper than the kitchen of the garrison.

Unfortunately, before lunch was eaten, a sudden bad news spoiled their mood for the day.

"Master Shizi, Mr. Cheng!" A young man dressed as a soldier suddenly came to the study and reported, "I just got news that there are bandits in the Liushan area about ten miles southeast of Kailian City, and there are already two of them. The passing caravan was robbed, but fortunately there were no casualties." But if things go on like this, which caravan would dare to come to Liancheng for business? Furthermore, just because it didn't hurt anyone this time doesn't mean it won't happen next time.

Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu exchanged glances, both of them had the same idea in their hearts, and they laughed tacitly.

Xiao Yi tapped his index finger on the desk a few times, and said with a smile, "The Xuanjia Army has been training for so long, and it seems that it's time for a real battle..."

As soon as he saw Xiao Yi's smile, Fu Yunhe broke into a cold sweat for those blind bandits.

"Big brother!" Fu Yunhe suddenly stood up and clasped his fists, "Why don't you let me be a school captain this time?" He came to Southern Border this time for experience. Take those thieves to practice first!

Xiao Yi smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Fu Yunhe was overjoyed, clasped his fists in a military salute, and quickly retreated...

Although Xiao Yi's hands were a little itchy, but this kind of small battle didn't need him to do anything, as long as it was convenient after sitting in town.

Xiao Yi was idle, Cheng Yu couldn't be idle, and immediately moved out a large stack of booklets. These booklets were old and new. The old pages were yellowed, while the new ones still exuded a faint scent of ink.

"Master Shi." Cheng Yu said with a serious face, "This is the "City Chronicle" of Kailian City for more than ten years. My subordinates have read it a few days ago, and my subordinates think that we can still vigorously develop border trade in Kailian City. , this way you can also make some income..."

Xiao Yi had a headache, so he cheered up and listened patiently.

Listening and listening, he thought absentmindedly: what is the stinky girl doing now...

Like Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue was also reading at this time, and she was holding a copy of "Southern Border Geography" in her hand.

After Xiao Fei left that day, Nangong Yue couldn't help but ponder.

Although this was the first time she came to the Southern Border, it was where Xiao Fei lived since she was a child. Even she felt that the Southern Border this year was hotter than previous years. I'm afraid the weather is indeed a bit unusual.

So, Nangong Yue asked someone to go to Zhuli Zhai to buy this book of "Southern Border Geography" and come back.

Then she nestled in her small study, looked at it carefully, and scribbled on the paper.

When Baihui and the others saw that the master was attentive, they all silently waited aside, but from time to time they refilled Nangongyue with some tea and snacks.

After watching this for three days, Nangong Yue finally put down "Southern Border Geography" and stared at the excerpts on the paper.

Since this book is called Geography, it naturally mainly introduces the geographical overview of the cities, counties, villages and towns in southern Xinjiang, including population, people's livelihood, special products, etc. It also records the climate of southern Xinjiang over the years. Variety……

This time, Nangong Yue was mainly looking at the weather, and most of what was written on the paper was the same. She compared the climate of the past ten years, and this year was indeed unusually hot.

Xiao Yi has tens of thousands of troops who practice day and night. When it gets hot, those soldiers are much harder to practice under the scorching sun than ordinary people, and they are also prone to heat stroke.

In this way, it is time for me to prepare more herbal tea and anti-heat medicine...
