Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

The story was really long, and it seemed a bit strange for the three of them to stand there telling and listening to the story, so they sat down.

"You should also know, sir, that for many years, the Huns have been unwilling to give up their evil intentions towards Ximi Prefecture. Although they have not taken the initiative to provoke a large-scale war, they have been constantly engaged in small-scale conflicts," said Wang Guangjin.

Shen Zheng nodded slightly, "Until now, the Xiongnu still think that Ximi Prefecture belongs to them, and we robbed their territory."

Liang Fu sneered: "They want to maintain superficial peace, but they keep making small moves in private, which is disgusting. General Lin said a few years ago that we need to guard against the Xiongnu. When they can no longer hold back, that will be the day when our Great Zhou expands its territory."

Shen Zheng sucked her teeth at the heroic words: "As expected of General Lin..."

Liang Fu smiled slightly and asked, "Then what does A'tai have to do with the Xiongnu harassing our Great Zhou border?"

Wang Guangjin first glanced at Shen Zheng, then with a strange look on his face, he whispered, "Atai was abducted from the Arab world by the Xiongnu."

Shen Zheng was slightly stunned. "Isn't he a gay Chinese? Why is he in the Kingdom of Daqin again?"

"He followed his parents from some base...to the Kingdom of the Caliphate to do business." Wang Guangjin said: "It happened that the Xiongnu attacked the border of the Caliphate, and he and his parents were separated. The Xiongnu mistook him for a Caliphate and took him from the Caliphate to the Xiongnu."

At this point, Wang Guangjin sighed, "It's because the people there look too much alike, with tall noses and big eyes. They look so different from the people of our Great Zhou. Otherwise, how could they be mistaken?"

At this point, Shen Zheng and Liang Fu were still in the mood to listen to the story.

Liang Fu asked: "Then why did he come to Da Zhou again?"

Wang Guangjin paused, "Although he is tall like the Hu people, he is very white and has a good-looking face. Therefore, since he was abducted by the Xiongnu, he has been taken care of by the Xiongnu Left Commander. As you two know, most of the Xiongnu Commanders are relatives of the Chanyu, and that Commander is no exception. He is the second son of the Chanyu's sister."

Shen Zheng and Liang Fu looked strange when they heard this.

Wang Guangjin said it very vaguely, but how many meanings could there be for being "kept around" because of being "good-looking"?

No wonder Wang Guangjin said A Tai was a poor man.

Shen Zheng intuitively felt that A-Tai's ability to settle down in Ximi Prefecture was closely related to the "royal relative" of the Xiongnu captain.

Sure enough, the next moment Wang Guangjin said: "He endured for several years and finally figured out the grain transportation pattern of a large Xiongnu granary. He wanted to cooperate with the Arabs to burn down the granary and then escape to the Arabs to find his parents. However, he was unable to get in touch with the Arab army..."

Shen Zheng looked as if to say, "It is true."

If the young captain was not a "royal relative", A Tai would not be able to touch such confidential matters as food no matter how hard he tried.

She asked, "He didn't contact the Great Tang, but he contacted the Great Zhou?"

"Correct!"

At that time, Wang Guangjin's blood boiled when he heard this story, and he felt that this was what a real man was like.

He said excitedly, "That time, the little captain led his troops to harass our Great Zhou border, hoping to plunder more cattle, sheep and food to take back for the winter. A'tai took the opportunity to contact Ximi Prefecture. The garrison of Ximi Prefecture trapped the little captain and a group of Xiongnu at the border. Then A'tai led the way and took a few of us soldiers all the way deep into the border and burned their winter granary!"

"Good!" Liang Fu applauded loudly after hearing this. "He has done something that many people cannot do. No wonder he was able to make an exception and settle down in Ximi Prefecture."

A hundred years ago, the Huns did not like to do shady things, but ever since the battle of Ximi Prefecture, the Huns seemed to have turned on some "shady" switch, harassing the Ximi border from time to time.

Stealing food, robbing merchants, and secretly hunting cattle, sheep and horses.

Except for not causing loss of life openly, they did almost all other bad things, making the people living along the border suffer terribly.

That time, the Ximi garrison joined forces with Atai to fight back, and the Hun army could only swallow its anger.

Shen Zheng thought about the border situation and sighed slightly.

A Tai wanted to cross the Xiongnu territory and return to the Arab Empire to look for his parents, but he was afraid that it would be very difficult.

She still asked Wang Guangjin: "Did A-Tai find out any news about his parents?"

"Not yet," Wang Guangjin sighed, "There is the Xiongnu stuck in the middle. Whether we want to do business with the Arabs or find people, it is very troublesome and has many twists and turns."

What's more, A Tai's parents are not Arabs, and it is hard to say whether they are still in the Arab world, or... whether they are still there.

"That's why he kept trying to do business with the Hu people outside." Wang Guangjin said, "Atai wanted to get information from them. He said he had found a way to return to the Arab Empire. Although it was dangerous, he was willing to take the risk as long as there was some news about his parents."

Liang Fu was full of praise after hearing this: "He is very smart and cautious."

Shen Zheng nodded.

Speaking of which, Artest can be considered an "undercover agent". Only those who can be undercover agents are smart and cautious.

"So this is also how the winter melon seeds come from?"

Shen Zheng finally understood why the seeds of the cold melon, which were far away in West Asia, could reach Ximi Prefecture.

If we think about it, if the Huns had not been blocking the western throat, the Great Zhou would have already embarked on the "Silk Road" and established trade relations with West Asia.

Wang Guangjin grinned, "I just met A-Tai before I left. He heard that high-yield rice was grown in our county, so he gave me some winter melon seeds. He said that this stuff is very precious, and the whole Ximi Prefecture only has that small bag in his hand."

It turns out that gold shines wherever it goes...

Shen Zheng was astonished. A Tai had single-handedly helped Da Zhou introduce watermelons.

"Let me see the seeds." Shen Zheng stretched out his hand towards Wang Guangjin.

I don’t know if the watermelon seeds now will grow like they did in the previous life.

The small cloth bag was opened in Shen Zheng's palm, and Liang Fu also came over curiously. He saw dozens of small black seeds glowing in the bag. There were not many of them, and they even looked a little shabby.

Liang Fu was stunned: "Black seeds? Can this little thing produce melons? How big is it?"

Wang Guangjin scratched his head, "I don't know. A-Tai said it can grow. He said the big melons can be as big as the head."

Liang Fu's eyes widened: "So big? He can't be fooled by the Hu people, right?"

“No!” Wang Guangjin believed A-Tai without a doubt: “He said the cold melons are from his family, and he asked the Hu people to find them for him, so there’s nothing wrong with this seed!”

Liang Fu was about to speak again, but Shen Zheng spoke for Wang Guangjin: "The seeds look good to me, so let's plant them first and see what happens. If they don't grow, forget it. But if they do grow, we can try what the 'cold melon' tastes like."

It's not realistic at all!

Shen Zheng was delighted.

Aren’t these winter melon seeds the same watermelon seeds that she loves to spit out?
