Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Although this matter is horrifying, Sheng'er would not use it to deceive herself.

What good would that do?

In short, the weather this winter is indeed very different from previous years, so it doesn’t hurt to be prepared in advance, just in case it’s really that serious.

That Sheng'er is the benefactor of the entire Xie family army.

After all, the imperial court's food and fodder have not arrived this year, and the generals have been trying to collect food for the 100,000 soldiers of the Xie family army, but to no avail.

The large amount of food that Sheng'er brought at this time was like timely help and was extremely rare.

"Sheng'er is already preparing for the snowstorm?"

"I heard from Yanli that you and Lord Ji are still somewhat friendly?"

When General Xie first learned about Yan Nansheng, he didn't know his age. He just thought that this scholar Yan had some real skills.

After all, it is not easy to catch the eye of the prefect Ji Fan.

Although General Xie has been at the border, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the news from the capital.

As a military general, he still had his own channels of information, otherwise he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

Since ancient times, civil officials and military generals have looked down on each other, but in terms of their abilities as officials, they are all on par with each other.

Therefore, General Xie was quite satisfied with Ji Fan. The fact that he was able to be promoted to the position of a fourth-rank prefect showed that he was quite capable.

Moreover, according to his understanding, Ji Fan's ability was more than enough for him to be a fourth-rank official in the capital. The emperor wanted to keep him in the capital at first, but he chose to serve as an official in the local area.

This person disliked the corrupt officialdom in the capital, and his life was said to be very tight, so the Xie family army never went to the provincial capital to find him to prepare military rations.

It's not that I despise him for being poor...

For maintaining an army, it is a bottomless pit and one must catch the fat sheep and plunder them, such as Shen Zhui from Qingshui County. He is the eldest princess's youngest son. Although he is not as favored as the eldest son, he is not short of money.

This Shen Zhui seems to have a good relationship with Sheng Er...

Thinking this way, General Xie finally looked at Yan Nansheng as a scholar who was going to take the imperial examination.

Putting aside the fact that he is his nephew, Yan Nansheng is indeed a good young man. No, he can be considered not bad, he is an excellent one.

"Sheng'er's abilities are beyond the reach of your cousins. You really bring honor to our Xie family! Hahahaha..."

Yan Nansheng waved his hands quickly, "Uncle, don't dare to say that. My brothers must be jealous of me. I can't beat them."

General Xie snorted coldly, "They dare!"

"If they dare to touch you, I will break their legs! Expel them from the Xie family army."

Several major generals who were following stealthily not far away: ...

No, they don't dare!

Breaking their legs would be bad enough, but they also want to expel Xie's army. That's not acceptable.

This little cousin, you can’t mess with him, you can’t mess with him…

After the joke, Yan Nansheng told General Xie about his plan.

"Uncle, since you trust me, I will tell you my thoughts."

She pointed to a mountain of potatoes not far away and said, "I'm sure you already know the advantages of this potato. I discovered and cultivated it by accident." "I have brought it to the entire Jiuyou Prefecture through a caravan, and will also promote it throughout Daqing."

"This way, when a snowstorm hits, we won't have to worry about food, and at least not too many people will starve to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, two generals came out of the military tent next to him and rushed towards Yan Nansheng, "What did you say? Did you discover and cultivate this potato?!"

"Are you Mr. Yan from Qinghe Village?"

Yan Nansheng nodded in confusion.

Originally, the two were checking the quantity of supplies in the account, calculating how to distribute them so that fewer people would die among the 100,000 Xie family soldiers this winter.

Both of them had black cloth wrapped around their left arms, obviously because an elder in the family had just passed away.

"How dare you! What are you so flustered about?!"

The cousins ​​of the Xie family who were far away also thought that the two men wanted to harm their cousin, so they hurriedly strode towards this side.

Unexpectedly, the two men knelt down directly when they were two meters in front of Yan Nansheng!

He kowtowed repeatedly and soon his forehead turned red.

Several cousins ​​of the Xie family stopped walking abruptly, and even General Xie stopped talking.

What was going on? Yan Nansheng had no time to react and had to accept the gift from the two generals.

After coming to his senses, he hurried forward and tried to help the two generals up.

But the two men refused to get up. "Benefactor! We kowtow to you because you can bear it!"

"Yes! You are our benefactor, the benefactor of our entire village!"

The cousins ​​of the Xie family then stepped forward slowly and stood on both sides of Yan Nansheng.

"What's going on between you two?"

When several people saw the black cloth on the left arms of the two men, the anger they had originally felt at their rude behavior instantly dissipated.

The two looked at each other, and the older one spoke first, "General, we are from the same village. Our village is in the valley not far from Qinghe Village and is called Qingshan Village."

"Every household in our village is very poor. My brother and I have had a good relationship since we were young, so..."

The younger one next to him couldn't help but said, "Brother Shan, let me do the talking. You're too long-winded. Your benefactor doesn't have time to listen to you."

The man was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

Indeed, I seem to have said a lot of nonsense...

The young general said, "My benefactor, my name is Li Dagou, and this is Zhang Dachui from our village. When we went home to visit our relatives this year, we saw that many families in the village had died, white..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Dagou choked up.

He took a deep breath to hold back his tears. "Our two families also had this problem. When we got home, we found out that because of the poor harvest this year and the cold weather too early, our food supply was running out very quickly."

"All the young people in our village have come out. The village is full of old people, women and children. For a while, because there was not enough food, the elderly in every household chose to go on a hunger strike and leave the food for the children..."

"This is our tradition. It's because we are poor..."

"But this year there is too little food, and the wives in the family are following the old man's example."

He lowered his head, and tears fell to the ground, splashing water.

His tears seemed to hit everyone's hearts, creating ripples...

Yan Nansheng had heard of this custom since she came here through the book. Every time she heard that an elder from some family had gone up the mountain, she felt uncomfortable. But even though she had the system at that time, she could not do anything.

So when she gradually becomes stronger, the first thing she has to do is to keep the people here alive.

It may be related to her experience at the end of the world and her education before the end of the world. At the end of the world, the best resources are people and food.

As for studying for the imperial examination? Don't rush. Nothing is more important than the lives of millions of people.
