Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

On the third day of the first lunar month, all the people from Songjia Village who stayed in the capital for the New Year gathered at Princess Kangle's residence to celebrate Tian Xinghua's canonization as a First-Rank Imperial Lady.

No outsiders were invited, it was just a family dinner.

Because they were all from the same family, they gathered together and the whole courtyard was filled with the dialect of their hometown in Lunshan County. The maids and servants who came from the capital were stunned by what they heard.

What did I mean by "You move over there, I'll move over here." They didn't understand at all.

A little maid was holding the cloak in her hands in a depressed mood, because Aunt Cuihua said to her, "Put it on the ground to dry in the sun."

What is "soft"?

Do I need to rub it before drying it in the sun?

Finally, I asked the maid from Lunshan County and found out that "rou" means sun, and Aunt Cuihua wanted her to take it out to dry in the sun.

Not only the maid Xiao Si was depressed, but also Song Sanzhu.

Ever since he was conferred the title of Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, he always felt that it was unreal. He wanted to find a sense of existence in front of the children, even if it was just to show off.

But he suddenly realized that these children were ignoring him intentionally or unintentionally. Even Xiao Qiusheng rarely spoke to him.

Even when holding the imperial edict, he could still feel the cold water of the Tongshui River.

This set his alarm bells ringing.

The eldest girl is very cunning. She wouldn't want to send him away by using this Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor, right?

In order to find a sense of existence, Song Sanzhu said to Xiao Qiusheng, "Son, after celebrating for your mother, why don't you celebrate for your father as well?"

Xiao Qiusheng blinked and thought to himself, "Big sister is right. Dad shines brightly when he's a little bit sunny. I'd better give him the cold shoulder for a couple of days, otherwise he'll show off and never stop."

"Dad, I'll offer you a glass of wine later." Xiao Qiu Sheng said this and ran to his mother to show his courtesy.

Looking at his son's back, Song Sanzhu said: What a lousy Guanglu Doctor, can't he just give up his position?

Song Qingshui looked at his depressed expression and reminded him, "Third brother, be content. What are you, a grown man, competing with your sister-in-law for?"

Song Sanzhu: ...

If I compare myself with her, can I win?

The food and wine were served. Just as Song Jinxiu picked up the wine glass, a young eunuch came hurriedly to announce that His Majesty allowed her to enter the palace.

Song Jinxiu asked, "Does the eunuch know what this is about?"

The young eunuch bowed and said, "I don't know, but His Majesty has verbally ordered the princess to enter the palace immediately. I only know that the left and right prime ministers and the Minister of War also entered the palace at the same time..."

Song Jinxiu suddenly became serious.

Zhang Zihan frowned and said, "The cabinet has been summoned to the palace to discuss matters. It seems something big has happened. I have someone wait at the palace gate so that if anything happens, they can be the first to prepare.

Song Jinxiu glanced at everyone and said, "No need, uncle can just take care of the mansion."

When Song Jinxiu rushed to Xuanzheng Hall, several cabinet ministers had already arrived.

Liu Renxiu saw her and smiled at her soothingly, saying, "Don't be afraid. It's a border beacon fire. They're calling you here. Just sit and listen."

Everyone: When they came in, His Majesty's face was livid. He then threw a memorial to them and said, "Read for yourselves."

When Princess Kangle arrived, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, are you coaxing the child?"

However, no matter how smart Princess Kangle is, she is still a child after all, and she has probably never seen any war. Your Majesty is coaxing her because you are afraid of scaring her to tears?

Song Jinxiu picked up the letter and saw that it was written by General Dingguo Wei Qiliang.

The memorial was sent by military express and contained only a few words.

Southern Xinjiang raided several villages in Lai County, Liangzhou, and stationed 50,000 troops on the border. I have already assembled troops to confront them and notified Liangzhou to take precautions.

Liangzhou was the fief of King Yin, and the garrison there was the Xiliang Army, which was stationed there to thank the Marquis of Xiliang for his merits.

It is said that Liangzhou is a desolate place with many mountains and little land, and the roads are inaccessible, so most of the garrison troops are locals.

Minister of War Zhou Kunran frowned and said, "The Dingguo Army guards the southwestern border. Southern Xinjiang has been stable for seven or eight years. Why are there any unusual movements this year? And the target is Liangzhou?"

Song Jinxiu wasn't a member of the imperial examination system, so she wasn't familiar with Cangwu's history. Regarding this important military and national event, she believed that without investigation, she had no right to speak. So, just as His Majesty had said, she listened attentively from the sidelines.

"Liangzhou has many mountains and little land, and the soil is barren. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is no benefit in attacking Liangzhou. I guess Nanjiang may be making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and the target is still the Dingguo Army."

Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen said, "With the Dingguo Army here, there's nothing to fear in southern Xinjiang. However, we need to prepare food and fodder in advance. If fighting breaks out, we must ensure a smooth supply of food and fodder."

The Right Prime Minister also said, "Before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first. The mountain road over there is winding and the military supplies must be transported there as soon as possible."

Song Jinxiu frowned. "If it was a village under Liangzhou that was attacked, why haven't we seen any reports from Liangzhou?"

The Right Prime Minister explained, "The roads in Liangzhou are very mountainous, so the memorial will arrive two days later."

Everyone looked calm; it seemed normal for the memorial from Liangzhou to arrive late.

The Minister of Revenue sighed and said, "After all the hard work, the Northern Rong have been quiet this winter. I thought Cangwu could finally take a breath and recuperate, but I didn't expect that Southern Xinjiang would become unruly again."

"Well, these small border countries are really abominable. They just can't bear to see us, Cangwu, have an easy life."

Song Jinxiu asked, "Why? Does Cangwu have wars every year?"

Liu Renxiu sighed and said, "It's true that there has never been a break from natural disasters or wars."

Wei Zhen stroked his beard and said, "It's strange to say. In the eighth year of Zhen'ar, we had a drought in Cangwu, and in the ninth year of Zhen'ar, there was a locust plague. But in those two years, the border was peaceful."

The Minister of Revenue also said, "That's true. The year before last, there was a severe cold snap in the west, and the winter wheat suffered severely. But that year, the border was stable. Could it be that God is looking down on us and can't bear to see us suffer even more?"

Song Jinxiu blinked: Why did she feel that this was man-made?

Last winter, we opened a trade with the Northern Rong, and the Northern Rong border was stable. The Cangwu men rested for the winter, and soon spring would arrive, and the flowers would bloom, and spring farming would begin.

Is the war coming at this time?

Whenever a war breaks out, we have to conscript soldiers, and the soldiers we conscript are strong laborers!

Could it be that someone is truly behind this? Is it because they're afraid that Cangwu will become too powerful?

She can't help much in the war because she has no idea what the army here is like?

But based on his understanding of Su Mo and the others and what his brother said, he felt that the low combat capability here was due to poor weapons.

She can still improve an army's combat capability and improve its weapons.

Her first thought was to shoe the horse's hooves.

Because every time Su Mo came to see him secretly, he would feel sorry for the horse and let it stay to rest for two days, and then he would change to a new horse and set off.

At first, she thought the horse had been running all night and Su Mo felt sorry for it being tired. Later, she found out that the horse's hooves were severely worn and it was not suitable for driving. This reminded her of horseshoeing.

Song Jinxiu expressed her thoughts, and Zhou Kunran frowned and said, "Princess Kangle, I know you are smart, and your idea is also very good.

But have you ever thought about how to stick the iron shoe to the horse's hoof? If you use the method you mentioned to drive nails into the horse's foot, will it hurt? This is just your fantasy, it's not realistic, right?
