www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Early in the morning, Nanxun Street in Kailian City was in full swing, not inferior to the sultry weather.

Today is the market held every five days, and people from some surrounding villages also came to participate in the market.

Looking at the prosperous scene not far ahead, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were filled with emotions. After the Baiyue War, they all saw how dilapidated, depressed and desolate this place was.

This Nanxun Street is opposite the South City Gate. The Baiyue army marched straight in from here, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, turning this place into a **** on earth.

Until Xiao Yi later led his troops to recapture Kailian City, the place still exuded the lingering smell of blood and the stench of rotting corpses... The soldiers and the people worked together for three days to clean up the place. In order to avoid the breeding of During the plague, the corpses were burned together, and the ashes were buried on a small hill southeast of Kailian City, and a monument was erected for future generations to worship.

However, the people living on this street basically left no survivors, so that Nanxun Street was once deserted, and people were unwilling to come here, and even called it a ghost street.

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

Under Cheng Yu's active operation, within just one year, this place has returned to its former prosperity, and the people have gradually recovered from their past pain, and many people have returned here to live and work in peace and contentment...

For Cheng Yu, this is probably the best compliment.

"Young Master," Cheng Yu changed his name to Xiao Yi outside, "We originally decided to reduce taxes for three years, and now we have achieved initial results in one year. The people's livelihood in Fuzhong and Kailian has stabilized. , people who had moved out of the two cities due to the war have also returned one after another..."

Since taking over the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian, Cheng Yu has watched them come to life bit by bit in his hands. The sense of accomplishment that the process brought him is indescribable. The two cities are now Like his child...

As he spoke, Cheng Yu's face was radiant, but soon he thought of something again. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to compromise on the three-year tax reduction..."

When he said this, Cheng Yu also felt embarrassed, but they had asked Fuzhong and Kailian to reduce their taxes without the consent of the King of Zhennan. The King of Zhennan had taken this away because of Xiao Yi. The two cities were unhappy. After hearing the news, the King of Zhennan was even more furious. He felt that Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu were clearly trying to win over the people and not take him seriously as the King of Zhennan. After that, the King of Zhennan was furious. King Nan never allocated money to the two cities again. There is no money allocated from above, and taxes from below are being reduced. Therefore, the people's livelihood in the two cities seems to be recovering well, but in fact the finances are becoming increasingly tight.

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

He pondered for a moment and said decisively: "I think we still have to reduce the salary for three years to give Fuzhong and Kailian more time to recuperate."

As the smelly girl said, only when the roots are rooted deeply and firmly can herbs radiate vitality.

After a pause, he added: "When I return to Luoyue City, I will discuss it with the Crown Princess to see if I can still raise some money." He didn't believe they couldn't survive it!

"Yes, Mr. Master!" Cheng Yu looked brilliant and his heart was surging, but he felt that he could not always let the prince pay for it. He had to train troops and support the people. Even if the prince had gold and silver, he would not be able to do it. Not enough! We still have to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure...

"Cheng Yu, do you think it is particularly hot this year..." Xiao Yi is a little unsure. After all, he has been away from southern Xinjiang for six years, and he only vaguely remembers that April in the past did not seem so muggy.

Cheng Yu nodded thoughtfully and said: "The weather has indeed gotten hotter recently than in previous years. Especially the terrain of our two cities, Fuzhong and Kailian, is lower than the surrounding areas, so it is even hotter."

Xiao Yi recalled a story his grandfather once told him about when they were marching and fighting, and couldn't help but said: "So, there might be a hot summer this year."

Cheng Yu's face straightened. Cold weather would freeze people to death. Similarly, if the heat reaches a certain level, it would also kill people. Especially the elderly and children are more susceptible to diseases due to their poor health. Thinking of this, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "My subordinates will order people to make preparations in advance."

Xiao Yi nodded, thoughtfully: My grandfather happens to be in southern Xinjiang. I don’t know if there is any good way to relieve the heat. I will discuss it with the stinky girl when I get back...

At this time, Fu Yunhe interjected: "Brother, Mr. Cheng, we just have to go back to business. It is rare for us to visit this market, so we should concentrate on shopping...Brother, shouldn't you bring some local products back to my sister-in-law?" "He smiled and winked.

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

Cheng Yu is also a knowledgeable person and hurriedly said: "It's not mine. Come on, let's go shopping!"

The market in the morning is completely different from the stalls in the night lantern festival. There are many fresh vegetables, fish and meat sold in the market. Of course, there are also many stalls selling snacks, snacks and gadgets. No, there is one over there. The stall was selling straw grasshoppers, frogs, etc. Many children gathered around reluctant to leave.

Fu Yunhe was so childlike that he bought all the straw woven by the craftsman and distributed it to the children casually. This made the children's relatives a little embarrassed and thanked them repeatedly, and Xiao Yi and the other three also attracted a lot of attention. Curious eyes.

After all, whether it is Fu Yunhe, Xiao Yi, or Cheng Yu, even if they are wearing simple cloth, their demeanor shows that they are not from ordinary families.

What's more, Xiao Yi has a really eye-catching handsome face.

In a blink of an eye, he attracted many girls, wives, and mothers-in-law, pointing at him and whispering:

"That young man is so handsome!"

"Yes, yes, and it looks familiar... strange? Where have I seen it before?"

"Sister-in-law Liu, please stop bragging. If you had seen such a handsome young man, how could you forget him!"

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

The whisper finally turned into a scream, and all of a sudden, it attracted a lot of attention to that other end. Even the woman in Tsing Yi who was talking to Mrs. Liu felt a little embarrassed and thought to herself: Liu Sister-in-law, why are you so surprised? !

"I remember!" Sister-in-law Liu seemed to have discovered some big secret, and her voice trembled with shock. She took a deep breath and tried to calmly shout, "It's... the prince!" By the last word, her voice was almost broken.

"The Crown Prince?...Why would the Crown Prince come to a place like this?" the woman in green retorted intuitively.

But not only did she hear Sister-in-law Liu's words, but other people around her also heard them. The three words "Shiziye" were like a stone thrown into the originally calm lake, spreading around. The ripples formed in circles, getting bigger and bigger, spreading farther and farther...

The people were all whispering to each other, "The prince is here," and more and more people swarmed over, some of whom met Xiao Yi at the city gate.

"It's the Crown Prince!"

"It's really the prince!"

"..."

The people are getting more and more excited. Many people feel that they are simply lucky today. They all come around to see Xiao Yi’s true face. Even more enthusiastic people sell themselves. Fruits, snacks, etc. were all given to Xiao Yi...

The three of Xiao and Yi came out with only one bamboo. He couldn't carry so many things alone, so someone kindly lent bamboo a two-wheeled wooden cart. After a while, the wooden cart was filled to the brim.

Cheng Yu could only help him by saying, "Fellow fellow villagers, I appreciate your thoughts. I really can’t put the things down..."

Some people still refused to give up, and a middle-aged craftsman boldly said: "Master, the common people heard that you just got married, and the common people want to give you a pair of clay dolls, and wish you a son soon!" As he said, he Then he held a pair of clay dolls in bright red wedding clothes with both hands. Both clay dolls had round cheeks and a cute blush when they smiled... Not to mention, they were really cute.

The craftsman’s words really spoke to Xiao Yi’s heart!

The stinky girl is about to get her haircut, and I believe that the day when they will "give birth to a baby early" is just around the corner!

In the future, their children will be as cute as the stinky girl, right? You must not have the same temperament as you... I was too naughty when I was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that I went to Fangjia Vanna. I will definitely make the smelly girl angry.

While thinking about it, Xiao Yi took the pair of clay dolls with great interest, squinted his eyes and smiled, as bright as the morning sun, "Thank you very much." He gave Bamboo a look, indicating that he would quietly give the craftsman a little Broken Silver and Zhuzi immediately nodded understandingly.

Since their identities were exposed, Xiao Yi and his party could no longer visit the market, so they returned to the garrison.

Today is a very rewarding day.

However, most of the things sent by these common people were fresh vegetables and fruits, which should not be stored for a long time, so most of the things were cheaper than the kitchen of the defense house. They simply ordered the kitchen to provide extra meals for the house today.

Unfortunately, before lunch, a sudden piece of bad news ruined their day.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng!" A young man dressed as a soldier suddenly came to the study in a hurry and reported, "I have just received news that there are bandits in the Liushan area about ten miles southeast of Kailian City. Two passing caravans were robbed, but fortunately there were no casualties." But if this continues, which caravan will still dare to come to Kailian City to do 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. The same thought came to their minds, and they smiled in perfect agreement.

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

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

"Brother!" Fu Yunhe suddenly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Why don't you let me become a captain this time?" He came to southern Xinjiang this time for training. Since he can't fight with the southern barbarians for the time being, Get up, let's practice with those bandits first!

Xiao Yi smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

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

Although Xiao Yi also has itchy hands, there is no need for him to use his hands in such a small battle. He only needs to sit back and do it conveniently.

Xiao Yi was idle, but Cheng Yu couldn't take any time off, so he immediately moved out a large pile of booklets. Some of these booklets were old and new. The old ones had yellowed pages, while the new ones still exuded a faint fragrance of ink.

"Your Majesty," Cheng Yu said with a serious face, "This is the "City Chronicles" of Kai Liancheng over the past ten years. I have read it roughly a few days ago. I feel that we in Kai Liancheng can still make great efforts. Those who develop border trade can also make some income..."

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

As he listened, he thought absentmindedly: What is the smelly girl doing now...

Like Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue was also reading a book at this time. She was holding a copy of "Southern Xinjiang Geography" in her hand.

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

Although this is her first time to southern Xinjiang, it is the place where Xiao Fei has lived since she was a child. Even she feels that southern Xinjiang is getting hotter this year than in previous years. I am afraid that the weather is indeed a bit unusual. .

So, Nangong Yue sent someone to Zhuli Zhai to buy this "Southern Xinjiang Geography".

Then she sat in her small study room, looking through it carefully and scribbling on the paper.

Seeing that their master was attentive, Baihui and the others waited quietly aside, only giving Nangong Yue some tea and snacks from time to time.

After reading this for three whole days, Nangong Yue finally put down "Southern Xinjiang Geography" and concentrated on the excerpts on the paper.

Since this book is called Geography, it naturally introduces the geographical overview of the cities, counties, villages and towns under Southern Xinjiang, including population, people's livelihood, special products, etc. It also records the history of Southern Xinjiang. Climate change everywhere...

This time, Nangong Yue mainly looked at the climate, and most of what she wrote on the paper was this. She compared the climate in the past ten years, and it turned out that this year was indeed unusually hot.

There are tens of thousands of troops under Xiao Yi's command, training day and night. It is getting hot today, and those soldiers training under the scorching sun are much harder than ordinary people, and they are also prone to heatstroke.

Based on this, it’s time for me to prepare some more herbal tea and anti-surgery medicine...
