The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses
Chapter 70: The Proud Little Princess and the Iron-blooded General (5)
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingze quickly bowed and said, "Farewell, Princess."
The three senior palace maids drove the princess' carriage forward.
Xia Zhi stayed. Xu Mingze looked at Xia Zhi and suddenly stuttered, "Xia... Miss Xia Zhi."
Xia Zhi covered her mouth and chuckled, "What's wrong, Captain Xu, why are you stuttering?"
Xu Mingze's face flushed, "No... I didn't..."
Yan Xue lifted the car curtain and looked at the two people in the back, she smiled knowingly, hoping that the lovers would eventually get married in this life.
In the previous life, after Xu Mingze became disabled, he distanced himself from Xia Zhi intentionally or unintentionally, and Xia Zhi was always depressed. Later, the two returned to Beijing and never met again...
When Xu Mingze heard Captain Qin's situation, he thought that the group of people were in great danger as it was still very cold in March in the northern border, so he led a team and set off in a hurry.
Yan Xue returned to her own residence and dozed off on the bed, but her consciousness entered her mind and she opened the dozen or so large boxes one by one.
Ten of the boxes were filled with gold bars, and the remaining boxes were filled with jewelry, jade and the like.
"Xiao Guang, it's time to send it."
"Host, I think these ten points are worth it."
"It's worth it. It's worth it."
She thought again about her dowry of dozens of carts, and wondered who was richer, her or the emperor?
Yan Xue slept until the afternoon, stretched and got out of bed.
Chunyu, who was waiting outside, heard the noise and came in through the curtains, "Princess, you're awake."
"Well, let's set the food."
Chunyu helped Yanxue get dressed, and Dongmei came in with a lunch box.
Yan Xue asked while eating,
"Captain Xu, are you back?"
Chun Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head and replied softly, "Princess, I'm back."
"Oh, what's the situation?" Yan Xue continued to ask.
Chun Yu looked up at the princess's face, which seemed a little cautious, and then slowly said, "Yesterday, Captain Qin and the twenty-odd soldiers he led... none of them survived."
Hearing this news, Yan Xue raised her eyebrows, "Ah, that's their fate too."
Chunyu was relieved when she heard this. She heard that most of them were frozen to death. If they had returned earlier yesterday, maybe...
But this group of people are a bunch of shameless people. On the way here, they often touched them. They were too shy to say anything to the princess.
Later, they saw with their own eyes that those people killed those fleeing girls on the roadside...
He deserves to die.
"Please prepare your writing. I need to write a letter to my good father and tell him about what is happening here."
Yan Xue briefly explained Captain Qin's situation, but she mainly talked about how the food here was not good and it was very cold.
It's a poor and remote place with nothing. It can't be compared with life in the capital. I will find Dong Linpei to explain it to him after he comes back.
After writing the letter, she was ready to work. She looked at the map for a long time, and finally drew a place and pointed at it with her finger. That was it.
She first went to the Royal Guard to comfort everyone, expressed regret for the unfortunate death of Captain Qin, and appointed Xu Mingze as the captain of the Royal Guard.
Then he led the remaining 400 or so personal soldiers and marched south in a mighty manner.
Yan Xue walked and looked along the way, and finally saw a whole piece of sandy land about ten miles away from the military camp.
She nodded. This place was not bad. "Let's stop here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingze immediately stopped the team. He didn't know what the princess was doing here today. There was nothing to see in such a large wasteland!
At this time, Yan Xue was helped down from the carriage by Xia Zhi.
Xu Mingze also quickly got off the horse and followed the princess closely. Yan Xue looked at such a large piece of land and thought it was a waste!
"Captain Xu, who owns the land here?"
"Princess, this is a wasteland and currently has no owner." Before he was ordered to come to the Northern Frontier, he had already figured out the surrounding situation.
Yan Xue was very excited when she saw such a large piece of land. "Take my warrant and go to the county government to complete the formalities. Then say that I want this piece of land."
Xu Mingze looked at such a large piece of wasteland and asked, "Do you want all of it?"
"Yes, I want everything I can see."
Xu Mingze didn't dare to ask more, "Yes."
"Oh, go buy some food, the more the better, and recruit some people at the same time. I want to see the farmers start tilling the land tomorrow."
"Princess, these are all sandy soils."
"I know. You go and make the arrangements. Try to recruit as many people as possible. Just tell them to provide them with two meals a day."
Xu Mingze nodded and quickly went to make arrangements.
It was very easy to recruit people for work. There were refugees everywhere. Especially when they came here, they found that there were many places where people were living in poverty.
He didn't expect that after leaving the prosperous Kyoto, the people in the northern border would be so poor. He sighed and made arrangements quickly.
Yan Xue yawned, got on the carriage and returned to the military camp.
Xu Mingze picked out 30 people and divided them into three teams. One team went to recruit people, one team went to buy food, and one team went to buy farm tools.
Finally, a hundred people were arranged to escort the princess back.
He arranged for the remaining people to build thatched huts first. After all, so many people needed shelter.
He took five people to the government office to handle the formalities. When Xu Mingze arrived at the county government office, he showed his identity and told the purpose of his visit.
When the county magistrate heard that the princess wanted to buy land, he was shocked.
He did hear that Princess Jiahe was betrothed to General Dong.
I didn't expect that he actually wanted to buy land, but since he wanted to buy wasteland, I agreed.
Then he arranged for the county magistrate and Lieutenant Xu to go to the site to measure the land, and the formalities were quickly completed.
Another team went to the city gate to recruit people and posted a recruitment list.
When a group of refugees outside the city gate saw soldiers posting notices, they immediately surrounded them.
Then I heard someone among the officers and soldiers say, "We are recruiting 100 able-bodied men under 35 and over 15. Those who meet the requirements should sign up as soon as possible. We will only recruit 100 people, and 10 maids to cook."
Someone bravely stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you provide meals?"
"Yes, we provide two meals a day, and we guarantee that there will be steamed bread every meal."
When the people at the scene heard this, they were immediately excited. There were steamed buns. Soon the line of people signing up formed a very long line.
At this time, a person who signed up asked, "Sir, what kind of work do you do?"
The person registering looked up and saw that he was about 20 years old, and looked gentle and like a scholar. "Farming."
The other party nodded and said that he knew how to farm.
"Name."
"Su Hansheng."
"age."
"twenty two."
"Identity document."
Su Hansheng took out his identity document from his arms and handed it to the officer, who took it, registered it, and returned it to Su Hansheng.
"next."
One hundred strong men were recruited in less than half an hour.
"Everyone will gather at a place 20 miles north of the North Gate at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning." This was the final announcement made by the officers and soldiers before they left.
When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed. Although twenty miles is not far, it is better to go early to avoid any trouble.
There were still many people queuing behind them, lamenting why they hadn't lined up earlier.
