Chapter 870, Chapter 870, not a big deal

  Xiao Yeyang came back on the afternoon of the fifth day when Daohua and his group arrived in Ganzhou City.

Daohua dressed in fox fur sat on the kang near the window and looked through Ganzhouwei’s county histories. There is no glass in Xiliang, and the windows are pasted with greased paper. This makes the room very dark even in the daytime. .

  In the whole house, only the window has the best light.

  So, even if the window is cracked by the cold wind, Daohua can only sit here.

  Inahana was looking seriously, and suddenly a pair of powerful arms stretched out from behind her, hugging her tightly.

Smelling the familiar breath, Daohua put down her book, turned around and hugged the person: "Xiao Yeyang, you are back." There was undisguised joy in her eyebrows.

  Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile, rubbing her face and neck with her face: "Miss me?"

   was about to have a kiss to get rid of lovesickness. Who knows, Daohua pushed him away with a look of disgust: "How long has your beard not shaved? It hurts my face."

   Xiao Yeyang saw the red marks on Daohua’s face, and reached out to help her rub her: "I am rushing to inspect the defense zone of Ganzhou Guard, there is no time to clean up."

  Daohua held his hand, nose to his body and sniffed, and then the disgust on his face grew thicker, and he quickly called Gu Yu and Lixia to let them prepare hot water.

   "You have to wash well."

  Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and didn’t let go: "Then you have to help me."

  Ina Hua gave him an angry look: "Have you seen Master?"

  Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "The old man followed Doctor Ge out."

   Daohua nodded, and saw Gu Yu and Lixia calling for hot water, and quickly got off the kang: "You go to the clean room, and I'll get you clothes."

  Xiao Yeyang smiled and walked into the clean room.

  Two quarters later, Xiao Yeyang, who had finished bathing, lay on the kang with his eyebrows relaxed, resting his head on Daohua’s legs, and Daohua was concentrating on shaving Xiao Yeyang.

  Looking at Xiao Yeyang's somewhat frostbitten face, Daohua felt distressed. After shaving his beard, she found the wound ointment and carefully applied it on him.

   "I'll make you a mask later. When you go out in the future, remember to bring it with you."

  Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After wiping her face, Daohua checked Xiao Yeyang's body and applied medicine to some bruises and abrasions.

  The charcoal fire in the room was vigorously burning, and there was a warm hot kang under him, and the tip of his nose was filled with the fragrance of his wife. Xiao Yeyang, who was completely relaxed, slowly closed his eyes.

  When he finished the medicine on the rice flower, he found that Xiao Yeyang had fallen asleep.

  After stepping into Xiliang for more than a month, he was running around every day, even if Xiao Yeyang practiced martial arts all the year round, his body was a little too much.

  When he watched Xiao Yeyang fall asleep, his brows were frowning, Daohua's face showed pain, and he reached out to smooth him.

  At dinner, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang slept deeply, did not call him, and went to Gu Jian’s courtyard alone.

  "Master, Xiao Yeyang came back this afternoon. He was not injured. He is fine. Don't worry."

  Gu Jian nodded: "He must be exhausted during this period. Let him rest. By the way, make more medicated food to supplement his body."

   Daohua smiled and responded: "I will."

   Xiao Yeyang fell asleep and woke up at noon the next day. When he woke up, he heard Daohua asking about her birthday.

  "Didn’t you just allocate a batch of grain to serve porridge a few days ago? Why did it run out so quickly?"

  Deshou said with a bitter face: “I don’t know what’s going on. There are more and more refugees outside the city these days. The food that could have been used for half a month would be gone in a few days.”

   Daohua frowned: "There are too many people, no one is making trouble, right?"

   Deshou shook his head: "No, everyone is pointing to the porridge to survive, so I dare not make trouble at this time."

  At this moment, Xiao Yeyang walked out.

   Daohua quickly got up and walked over: "Are you awake?"

  Xiao Yeyang nodded, took Daohua to sit down, and looked towards Deshou: "What's the matter with the refugees?"

  Deshou hurriedly talked about the rapid increase in the number of refugees in the past two days.

  Xiao Yeyang frowned, "When I first came, there were only five or six thousand refugees outside the city, but it rose to tens of thousands in less than a month. It seems that some people don't want me to feel better."

   Daohua looked surprised: "You mean someone is driving refugees to Ganzhou City? Who, why did they do this? We just came, and didn't offend anyone?"

  Xiao Yeyang chuckled: "We haven't offended anyone, but because of our arrival, the situation in Xiliang may be broken, and for some people, it's blocking their way."

  Even if Xiliang is bitter and cold and barren, in the eyes of some people, this is also their sphere of influence, which cannot tolerate outsiders' interference, let alone change.

  Because the imperial court has neglected the management of Xiliang, it may have been their illusion that those in power here have given birth to this land.

   Daohua frowned: "Then if we can't bring out food to appease the refugees outside the city."

  Xiao Yeyang took the words: “Once the refugees have trouble, someone will definitely go to the court and drive me out of Xiliang.”

   Daohua listened, pondered for a moment, and looked towards Deshou: "You follow Gu Yu to get another batch of grain. You must appease the refugees living outside the city and not allow them to make trouble."

  Deshou glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that he had no objection, he retreated with Gu Yu.

  Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "There shouldn’t be a lot of supplies left, right?"

   Daohua nodded, and immediately asked Lixia to bring the warehouse list and hand it to Xiao Yeyang to let him see for himself.

  "Don't be too anxious, I have already written to Qin Xiaoliu, but the capital is too far from Xiliang, and the food will be delivered. It is estimated that it will have to wait until around February."

   "Given the number of refugees outside the city, we can't hold on to that time at all. But as long as this period of time is passed, food will definitely be available in the future."

  Speaking, paused.

  "The refugees outside the city are not our family's business. Should the officials and businesses in the city also come out?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Xiliang is no better than other places, and Ganzhou Guard is the poorest guard station. Even if it is officials and merchants, there is not much surplus food in the family. Let them take out the food, and they will follow them. Life is the same."

  When there is no noise outside the city, they may not do it.

   Daohua asked again: "Where is the guard station? Aren't the military households usually farming fields? There must be grain in the guard station, right?"

  Xiao Yeyang shook his head again: "Military households will hand in grain, but the grain output here is too low. Ganzhouwei is the closest to Xiliao, and usually has to raise a frontier army stationed here."

   "The reason why the previous commander died was because he was in arrears with the border army's food, and was called over by the border army general, and was accidentally shot by the people of Xiliao."

   Inahua was a little dumbfounded: "Didn’t it mean that the previous commander was killed while patrolling?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "That's just to make it sound. The people in Xiliang have lived so hard, apart from the geography and climate, and the reasons of the people of Xiliao, it is also largely related to the incompetence of the officials here. ."

   Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Now that you have taken over Ganzhouwei, doesn't it mean that you also need to raise the frontier troops stationed here?"

  Xiao Yeyang nodded with a headache.

  If it hadn’t been for the frontier army to scrutinize his identity, and he led people to annihilate a group of Xiliao cavalry, the frontier army might have come to Ganzhou city long ago.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's brows knotted again, Daohua sat down and smoothed him: "This is not a big deal. I may not be able to help if I lack anything else. But when it comes to food, how could I, a big food producer, be short of food? . Leave it to me about the food."

  Xiao Yeyang smiled and looked at Daohua: "Didn’t you say that the grain will not arrive until February?"

   Daohua smiled and said: "The capital is far away, there is no way, but we can find a place closer to borrow grain, or buy grain."

  Xiao Yeyang didn't want to hit Daohua, and didn't tell her that she might not be able to buy food at all in Xiliang.

  Nine guards in Xiliang are almost all commanders, and the person who most wants him to leave Xiliang is probably the commander Wei Hongcai.

  However, people have their weaknesses, and several commanders can't buy them.

  Thinking of the news from Jin Lingwei, Xiao Yeyang decided to go out tomorrow to meet the most unpopular Commander Lan Wuwei.

  As long as you subdue him, you should be able to get a batch of grain.
