Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 668: ：Harmon
Latest website: After Yin Huaixi guarded the northern border, he put a lot of effort into business and trade. The "Xixin" **** agency had a dart specifically for traveling north, which indeed promoted commerce and trade, and the northern border became much more prosperous.
But the lives of the people at the bottom have not improved much.
Yu Youyao’s move has indeed greatly improved their lives.
In this aspect, he is far inferior to Yu Youyao.
The steward didn't know what he was thinking: "The eldest lady not only bought land here in Youzhou, but also bought villages and mountains in towns in the north. Crops such as sweet potatoes and groundnuts are planted on the villages, and pine trees and pine trees are planted on the mountains. Elm and oak are long-lasting trees in the north. The eldest lady said that after more than ten years of growth, these wood will be ready for use. The children were also handed over to the families of the martyrs and the families of poor soldiers."
Pine, elm, and oak are all commonly used wood in the Zhou Dynasty. The wood is not cheap. Once it is made into materials, you can make a profit without losing money.
But in fact, everyone understands that the weather has been dry in the north for the past two years. The eldest lady was worried about drought early in the morning, so she bought a lot of mountainous land for the families of martyrs and poor soldiers to plant trees and get work. , with money in hand, one can store food at home, and if there is a drought, one will not die of famine.
The eldest lady also said: "I have no shortage of money. Planting trees is a century-old plan. I can benefit myself and help others by the way. Why not do it?"
The steward continued: "Not only that, the eldest lady also brought chestnuts, walnuts, etc. from other places to the north for planting. She said that these dried fruits are highly adaptable to the environment and must be able to grow. There is a shortage of materials in the north. This is why There is no way, but we can create conditions artificially. Things like dried fruits are also valuable things. When they are promoted in the northern border in the future, they will also be a source of income."
Only then did Yin Huaixi realize how much the little girl had done for him and the North without saying a word.
When the **** traveled north and south, there were stewards who were proficient in farming with him, recording the conditions of crops in various places. Thinking that "Tiangong Kaiwu" would benefit the future, he felt that this was a good move.
Until now, Yin Huaixi knew that Yu Youyao had a far-reaching plan.
Without a steward who is proficient in farming, how could Yu Youyao know that chestnuts and walnuts are adaptable to the environment and can grow in the north with the escort?
The steward is a native of the Northern Territory, and when he mentioned this, he always said: "So far, the eldest lady has grown sixteen kinds of crops in the North Territory that were obtained from other places. The eldest lady said that these are also the sweet potatoes that gave her Enlightenment: Although one area of water and soil can support one person, as long as we understand the growth habits of some crops and find knowledgeable people to help them, we can adapt to local conditions. This is much easier than planting some unknown new species, which are not good at the moment. It doesn’t matter, you can spend some time trying to plant. If the trial is not successful, it will take some time and energy. Once it succeeds, it will be the luck of the North..."
The steward has endless things to say when talking about the eldest lady.
Yin Huaixi was also willing to listen, so he did not interrupt. He thought of Yu Youyao who was far away in Jingzhao, and felt proud and happy in his heart, and suddenly he no longer had any intention of inspecting.
Immediately, I rode back to Prince Wu Mu's Mansion with my whip raised.
At this time, Uncle Sun was giving Yin Yi acupuncture.
Yin Yi is Yin Huaixi's personal guard and also his stand-in. He has eaten and lived with him since childhood. On the battlefield in the north, it was Yin Yi who protected him and prevented him from being trampled to death by random horses.
Yin Yi's leg was also trampled by a horse at that time.
Yin Huaixi specially brought Uncle Sun back with him, intending to let Uncle Sun help Yin Yi take care of his body first, and then when he comes back next time, Uncle Sun will help treat Yin Yi's legs.
Yin Yi wore a mask on his face and respectfully called Young Master.
Yin Huaixi nodded and asked Uncle Sun: "How is his health?"
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes: "His physical condition is much better than yours at the beginning. He will be able to undergo acupuncture treatment after a while of careful nursing."
Over the years, Miss Yu has made all kinds of fragrant medicines, and Yin Yi has a share, so Yin Yi's legs are also well taken care of.
Yin Huaixi nodded and asked, "How is the deployment at Xiaoyuguan?"
Yin Yi replied: "Young master, please rest assured. The pass of Xiaoyu Pass has been sealed according to your instructions. No one is allowed to enter or leave Xiayu Pass within a month. Troops are also posted at all the passes to guard."
Yin Huaixi said quietly: "Send the defense plan of Xiaoyuguan to Harmon and tell him to meet at Xiaoyuguan in ten days, of course, if he dares to come."
Since it is a transaction, both parties must express a certain degree of sincerity.
Xiaoyuguan is the first line of defense between the North and Beidi. Although it is on the territory of the North, both sides have a way to retreat.
If Harmon wants to trade with him, he must follow his rules.
He sent someone to deliver the defense map of Xiayu Pass. With the defense map, Harmon could make some preparations and not be too passive after arriving at Xiayu Pass.
This is also his sincerity.
Three days later, Yin Huaixi received a letter from Harmon, who agreed to Di Yuguan's request for a meeting.
Harmon is not a fool. Although Xiaoyuguan is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Di people have been looting in the Xiaoyuguan area all year round. They are very familiar with the nearby terrain and have a way out.
The northern border is also suffering from drought. As long as King Wu Mu is not too stupid, he will not act rashly.
Besides, Beidi's war horses have always been a scarce commodity in the Zhou Dynasty, and King Wu Mu must have been coveting them.
His request for a trade was a step back.
King Wu Mu requested to meet at Xiaoyuguan, and then sent a defense plan, also advancing and retreating.
Since both parties have made concessions, they have expressed their sincerity.
He had no reason to refuse.
Seven days later, Yin Huaixi led a thousand elite soldiers to Xiayu Pass in person, and Harmon also led a thousand elite soldiers to Diyuguan in person.
The two sides have a tacit understanding with each other, and they camp at a distance to interfere with each other.
After a short rest, on the third day of the two sides' encampment, Yin Huaixi and Harmon met at the military training school Yang Shang on a hilltop in Xiaoyuguan.
Harmon is nearly forty years old ~IndoMTL.com~ He is tall and burly, with a short beard under his nose, making him look very brave and strong.
Seeing Yin Huaixi standing on the campus, Harmon was shocked. He was wary and wary in his eyes. He stared at his legs and unconsciously tightened the scimitar at his waist.
Yin Huaixi’s leg actually recovered? !
The seven-point fear suddenly became ten points. For a moment, he even felt that it would be best to reach a deal request with King Wu Mu this time.
This is a good start. If the deal can continue, both sides can also have a truce.
King Zhou Li of the Great Zhou Dynasty guarded the northern border for many years, but Beidi did not get any benefits. On the contrary, due to the loss of troops and generals in the battle six years ago, he suffered heavy losses and has not yet recovered.
In the past two years, King Wu Mu has been guarding the northern border, and the two sides have fought and tested several times. Harmon feels that King Wu Mu is even more difficult to deal with than King Zhou Li.
If we continue to fight, Beidi will definitely suffer.
