Chapter 873 Chapter 873

  The frontier army left with food, which made Xia Jianren a little surprised: "Even if he brought a lot of supplies when he came, it should be almost consumed by such a lavish use of Xiao Mansion."

The aides next to him laughed and said, “It’s good if you give it. The frontier army is a regular army, there is discipline there, and it won’t be easy to make trouble if it’s not in the end. But the refugees are different. If they don’t have food, then Each one will be desperate."

  Xia Jianren smiled: "That's right, the frontier army took the food, leaving less for the refugees. Let's just wait and see how long the Xiao Mansion can last?"

   said, he pondered for a while, and said to his staff: "During this time, you should stare at the porridge shed. If you run out of food, you should contact the few poppies that Mr. Wei found."

  The staff nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, adults, the humble job will be done well."

  In a blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.

  The New Year in the frontier is naturally not as lively as in the capital, but the rice flowers that should be prepared are all prepared, and the house is decorated with joy.

   Daohua thought that the people in the house had left their homes and followed them to this remote and bitter cold place. Early in the morning, she gave everyone three more months of monthly routines.

There were only her, Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian in   . Although it was not lively, the three of them sat together, eating hot meals, and chatting about the experience of Xiliang, and the atmosphere was particularly warm and happy.

  On the first day of the New Year, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang paid homage to Gu Jian for a year. They watched the kitchen making roasted whole lamb. After thinking about it, they called Lai Defu and asked him to send two lambs to the porridge shed.

  There are a lot of herders in Xiliang. As long as you have money, you can’t buy beef and mutton.

  At the same time, on the city wall, Xia Jianren’s staff did not accompany his family, braving the wind and snow to stare at the refugees.

  When I saw that there was still minced meat in the refugee porridge, I felt cold.

   "Is the royal palace so rich and powerful?"

  Not enough porridge, but still meat?

   "How many supplies did Xiao Mansion bring?"

  According to the situation before him, Master Tongzhi wanted to drive off Master Xiao, fearing that it would be indefinitely.

  Compared with the heaviness of the staff, the refugees were carrying thick porridge filled with oily meat, but their eyes were a little red.

Many of them came to Ganzhou City with the mentality of treating dead horses as living horse doctors. They really couldn't make ends meet at home. If there is no food here, they can only find a place where there is no one. Buried in the ice and snow.

  I never thought that they actually survived.

  Some elderly and children suffered the wind and cold, and after drinking the medicine, they also survived tenaciously.

  Today's New Year's Day, they also had meat porridge!

   "Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are really nice people!"

  Some elderly people drank porridge while wiping tears with their hands. Many of them, even if they spend the New Year at home, find it hard to eat meat.

  Hidden among the refugees, the few Poppies who were planning to take the opportunity to instigate trouble saw this scene and thought of what they were about to do, and a sense of guilt arose in their hearts.

   "Or, shall we go anyway?"

  They are not fake, but their conscience has not been completely lost. Let them kill a person who helps the people, it is really a bit unable to pass the hurdle in their heart.

  Poppy looked at the porridge shed, then looked at the soup medicine being brewed next to him, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the newcomer Xiao Lord can make these people survive the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will leave."

   "When we are gone, how will the commander explain to you?"

   "Xiliang is so big, we won't be able to return to the cold."

  "Didn’t the food issue have been resolved? Why are you still frowning?"

Daohua returned to the room with the medicated food, and saw Xiao Yeyang sitting at the table, not knowing what he was thinking, put down the medicated food, walked over and naturally wrapped his neck with one hand and sat on his lap.

  Xiao Yeyang held Daohua's hand: "I'm thinking about quarters."

   "Although the imperial court doesn't pay much attention to Xiliang, it is the border here, and a sum of money is allocated every year to train troops and replace weapons and equipment."

   "After I came to Xiliang, I ran several guards' defense lines, and found that the frontier army not only had yellow muscles, but the weapons in his hands were also tattered. I don't know where the money from the imperial court was used!"

   "Even the soldiers of the guard station, and few are strong and powerful."

   said, snorted.

   "Moreover, I also found that the frontier and guards in some places have very negative defenses."

   "They are like this, how can they be able to fight?"

   "It's just that the Xiliao side has been down for the past two years. Otherwise, the Xiliao people will come over, and it will be impossible to resist here."

   Daohua doesn’t want him to frown: “Don’t be too anxious. The situation in Xiliang is not a day’s work. We have just arrived in Xiliang and we have to do things one by one.”

  Xiao Yeyang: "I also know this, but I am worried that Xiliao will not give us time. The cavalry team I met last time was brave and good at fighting."

   said, looking at Daohua.

  "I have already handed the fold to Uncle Huang, please send the munitions funds allocated to Ganzhouwei directly to this side, and no longer command the envoys after passing through."

   "The iron ore mine we discovered before was managed by Uncle Rui Wang. I bought a batch of military equipment with munitions silver."

   "After the fifth day of the fifth year, I will go to the guard station to select a group of military households to start training. You will have to take care of the affairs of the house."

  Ina Flower: "Don't worry, I will take care of the house together."

  Shiqukou, the mountain pass where Daohua and his party were robbed by the Wang clan.

  Wang Qi stood on the mountain, watching the food team passing by.

  Wang Wu stood next to him, and at a glance he recognized that the person who escorted the food team was the guard that had beaten him and the tribe before him.

   "Sir, it's them. They are the guards of the new Master Xiao."

   "My dear, where did they get so much food? If only they could leave us a few more carts."

  As soon as the voice fell, Wang Qi slammed on Wang Wu's head.

   "You can't be too greedy."

  Wang Qi looked at Wang Wu sternly, until Wang Wu shrank his neck, then raised his eyes to Liangdu: "With greed and desire, you will fall into the abyss."

  Wang Qi quickly retracted his sight and looked at the food team again.

  The food team moved quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

  Wang Qi heard about the news that Ganzhou City was giving porridge. At the same time, he also saw the flock of refugees to Ganzhou City in his eyes, and worried about the Lord Xiao in his heart for a while.

  It can be seen that after the grain team just passed by, the heart of carrying is relieved.

  Such a generous relief of refugees, that Master Xiao is much better than he thought.

  On the eighth day of the first lunar month, watching the carriages carrying food into the city of Ganzhou, the refugees outside the city gate were extremely quiet. Their previously numb and hollow faces began to become alive little by little.

  On this day, Xia Jianren happened to be on the city wall and saw the long grain transport team. He was shocked and immediately called his staff: "Go and find out where the Xiao Mansion buys the grain?"

  After the staff left, Xia Jianren couldn't help sighing. The things that Master Wei explained were not easy to handle.

In the guard station, Fan Tong couldn't help swallowing after hearing the news from the grain team: "Master Wei is right. The elder son of the palace may really have gold mountains and silver mountains."

   Excited, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

  If Xiao Mansion is really going to stop porridge, refugees outside the city are likely to cause trouble. Once the trouble occurs, he will have to bring the guards to suppress the Qing suppression.

  For the people of Xiliao, he had no problem at all, but he really couldn't deal with the desperate people outside the city.

  All command and envoys.

  Wei Hong didn't wait for the news of the refugees in Ganzhou City. Instead, he heard that Xiao Yeyang had brought another batch of food. He felt depressed and became more jealous.

  The master on the side took a look at Wei Hongcai's face, thought about it, and suggested: "My lord, or else, let's just leave Ganzhouwei alone."

   "Xiao Yeyang is young and energetic. He must have wanted to do something when he first came to Xiliang. If we intervene too much, it will arouse his fighting spirit. It is better to let him toss."

  "The climate in Xiliao is bitterly cold, with cold winters and hot summers, the land is barren, and the supplies are even scarce. When he can't bear it, maybe he will leave by himself."

  Wei Hong curled his eyebrows: "It can only be this way."

Xiao Yeyang’s identity was placed there, and he also received news that the emperor’s uncle and the newly-appointed Auxiliary Duke also followed. He could make small moves in private to make Xiao Yeyang retreat. You can't fight him head-on.
