Chapter 229 229. Father-in-law

He ordered Zhu Hun to make some food and sent the jade dew soup to the study.

Since Feng Jinxu came back, he stayed inside for two or three hours every day. Wen didn't want to disturb him, so he said to Fu Yi who was guarding the door outside.

"This is prepared for the uncle. It hurts my eyes to be careful. In addition, tell the uncle that my mother-in-law has sent a letter, saying that she will be in Dongdu City before the end of the month. When the uncle has time, I want to arrange an arrangement with him for my mother and the others. residence.

Dont worry, grandma, my subordinate will go in and tell the uncle later.

Well, we have a guard from Laofu.

After Wen left, Fu Yicai knocked on the door gently.

"What's up?"

Feng Jinxu's emotionless questions inside would have frightened others, but Fu Yi was already used to it.

Grandma brought some food over.

"come in."

After Fu Yi entered the door, he closed the door of the study room, placed the food boxes on the four-plan table under the bright window, and took them out one by one.

Not only is the fragrance fragrant, but the appearance is also exquisite, and it can be seen that it is the craftsmanship of Zhu Hibiscus.

Uncle, my eldest grandma just sent a letter saying that there is news from Shuzhou, and I will be in the capital at the end of the month. My eldest grandma wants to discuss with you how to settle your mothers family.

"Oh, I see."

There was something written in detail in his hand, and Fu Yi did not dare to step forward to take a look. He knew that Feng Jinxu hated subordinates who only listened and watched, so he did not dare to step forward at will.

It wasnt until I finished writing the last word that I came over to eat something.

Wen's preparations have never been seen before, especially the food made by Zhu Hibiscus. There are new tricks every day, which is really skillful.

"The matter between the two Zhejiang provinces will come to a head sooner or later. Grain will have to be transferred from other places to fill the deficit. Shuzhou, where my father-in-law is located, is also a grain-producing place, so we have to prepare in advance."

There is one more thing he did not mention, and that is the problem of rain this year.

Just as A Yao expected, it has been raining continuously since the end of February.

Although spring rain is said to be as expensive as oil, it does not fall so uncontrollably.

If the rain lasts for several months, let alone growing food, the river banks will swell and the land will not be gathered, which will be a big problem.

So, after thinking about it for a while, I put down the food in my hands.

He picked up the pen and wrote another letter eloquently and handed it to Fu Yi.

"Send this letter to Shuzhou and give it to my father-in-law. He is the prefect of Shuzhou and will be able to deal with it."

"yes!"

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Fu Yi went to the inn to rush the letter, which was much faster than ordinary ones.

About seven or eight days later, Wen Zhonghe, the prefect of Shuzhou, received a letter from his son-in-law in the capital.

He was born and raised in Shuzhou. The unique climate and geographical location make it difficult for people in Shuzhou to show their age. Although he is in his forties or fifties, he looks not much older than Feng Jinxu.

He is slightly chubby and has a fair complexion. He does not look like an official, but like a wealthy businessman.

"Oh? This is the first time I have received a letter from my son-in-law in the past seven or eight years. Send it over and let me take a look. What did he say?"

When Zhan Xin looked at it, his originally smiling expression gradually turned serious. Although he usually looks like a kind-hearted Maitreya Buddha, his methods and thoughts are no worse than those of the imperial officials in the capital.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to secure his position as the prefect of Shuzhou for decades.

There were several opportunities for promotion, but he refused to leave. Firstly, he did not want to leave his homeland, and secondly, he did not want to get involved in the disputes of the court.

Had he not fallen in love with Feng Jinxu, he would not have married his daughter thousands of miles away.

What is said in this letter are all his personal guesses, but it is better to be prepared, not to mention that King Ding's army is also stationed here. It is also his duty as a prefect to ensure the safety of the place and the food and grass of the sergeants.

So he ordered to go down and see how to collect grain from the government granary.

Shuzhou has been prosperous since ancient times. The people are not only good at farming but also good at doing business, so harvesting grain is not a difficult task.

Soon the government granary was full of piles. Since money was exchanged for grain, many people thought that since there would be another harvest in three or four months, it would be more cost-effective to exchange money for some business, so they lined up to ask for it. Go to the government to sell grain.

Wen Zhonghe did not stop him for a while, causing a "grain backlog" situation. Seeing that the granary could no longer hold it, he quickly sent people to find King Ding's army for support.

The person in charge of King Ding's army now is Yang Xu, the confidant of King Ding Xiao Tingyi, who is Yang Zhao's brother.

Both of them are the orphans of the military general Yang. They lived in other places when they were very young. Fortunately, they survived with the help of Xiao Tingyi.

Not only did he give them the ability to settle down, but he also led them to become generals guarding the Jin Dynasty.

The two brothers are now third-grade military generals, and are very popular among the officers and soldiers of King Ding's army.

It's just that Yang Xu has a more stable temperament, so he stays in the army to take charge of matters, while Yang Zhao follows King Ding to protect him.

Soon, the news sent by Wen Zhonghe and the news sent by Prince Ding were placed on the table in his tent.

In the army of King Ding of the Southwest, the generals who had not married yet lived in the army and did not like to return to their mansions.

The same is true for Yang Xu. Although the general's mansion stands prominently on a busy street in Shuzhou, he only goes back a handful of times.

After training the army, he entered the main tent.

When I saw that the two messages had the same meaning, I couldnt help but laugh.

The prince also sent a message asking him to hoard food, and the prefect also sent a message asking him to help him hoard food. Is it a coincidence?

Then he said to the soldiers next to him, "Send the order to open the granary in the king's army to the prefect, and tell him to just send him as much as he can. If he wants to come with this warrant in the future, he can take it."

After saying that, he handed over the order. There was a big word "ding" written on it. It was a status symbol that could only be obtained by all the generals in the Dingwang Army. This piece represented Yang Xu.

"yes!"

The soldier hurriedly sent the order to the prefect. In the afternoon of that day, a steady stream of Shuzhou grain was transported from the city to King Ding's army.

There have been scenes of transporting military rations, but the people of Shuzhou are not surprised.

I thought that the prefect collected grain just to send it to the army. Many people who had been protected by King Ding's army even sent some of the grain stored at home for free to express their gratitude for these peaceful times protected by King Ding's army.

The excitement of hoarding grain in Shuzhou is getting more and more intense, but at this moment, the excitement in Dongdu City is also following.

The once-a-year spring festival finally kicked off. The scholars who were studying hard in the cold window and the young men gearing up all gathered at the entrance of the Gongyuan, blocking the area.

The Feng family was also one of the people seeing them off. Feng Jinlin and Yin Canwen got up early and ate a breakfast with good intentions. They talked about things like getting admitted, wonderful pens, and grand plans. Feng Jinlin was so happy that he almost died. laugh out loud.
