Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

After delivering the barbecue to Xiao Jingyan, Shi Xi kept a portion for herself as a midnight snack.

She was having a midnight snack when suddenly a note came out from the painting.

Shi Xi felt a bit of a headache when he saw Xiao Jingyan's request for help on how to protect the families of the soldiers if he rebelled.

Emperor Dayong had long regarded Xiao Jingyan as a thorn in his side and wanted to deprive him of his military power.

However, the Xiao family army was absolutely loyal to Xiao Jingyan and would never betray their master.

Helplessly, Emperor Dayong could only cut off their food supplies, hoping that the entire army would starve or freeze to death.

At present, there are only two options left for Xiao Jingyan: one is to establish himself as king; the other is to join Qianshuo.

But no matter which of these two options is chosen, the families of the soldiers will be harmed.

There is only one way to protect everyone's family members, that is to let Xiao Jingyan fake his death and pass on false information to Emperor Dayong. When Emperor Dayong relaxes his vigilance against them, he will send people to sneak into the capital to rescue the hostages.

But this method is only suitable for a small number of hostages. There are many soldiers in the army now, and everyone has his own family, so the population base is too large.

It was also for this reason that Shi Xi felt that if Emperor Dayong did not want to become a commander without troops, he would not touch the relatives of these soldiers.

These numbers add up to between sixty and one million.

According to the novel "The World of Dayong", the total permanent population of the Dayong Dynasty was no more than three million.

Typical of vast land and sparsely populated areas.

Nearly half of the country's land is mountains, water, sea and undeveloped virgin forests.

Shi Xi felt that he only needed to settle the families of several high-ranking generals and captains such as Wang Tiezhu, Liu Deyou, and Guo Wen.

As for the families of other soldiers, there is no need to bring them to Lingyao City immediately. Just notify them in advance so that they can be mentally prepared.

Shi Xi did not immediately reply to Xiao Jingyan about these thoughts. She planned to wait until Xiao Jingyan came tomorrow and then discuss it with him in detail.

The next morning, Xiao Jingyan came before Shi Xi woke up.

Seeing that Shi Xi was still sleeping, he was still the same as usual, sitting quietly beside her, reading a book, browsing his phone, and trying to learn more about Shi Xi's world.

Until, he accidentally saw the novel "Da Yong Tian Xia" on the bookshelf.

Xiao Jingyan couldn't help it, took the book and opened it to read.

The book recorded everything about the Great Yong Dynasty, and he saw many names of people he knew in the book.

There was the Great Yong Emperor, Prime Minister Pei, and myself...

In this book, he also saw his own ending.

According to the records in this book, if he had not met Shi Xi, he and the Xiao family army would have starved to death in Lingyao City.

Even after his death, he was arbitrarily accused of treason by others, regarded as the villain in the book, and scolded for thousands of years.

After seeing these contents, he was instantly filled with hatred towards Emperor Dayong, and his desire to rebel seemed to be deeply rooted and would never be shaken.

He clenched his hands into fists, and his bones made a creaking sound.

Shi Xi was a little dazed in her sleep. When she woke up, she saw Xiao Jingyan, who was full of anger and looked like he wanted to eat someone.

She had never seen Xiao Jingyan so angry before, and she instantly became half sober.

"Xiao Jingyan, when did you come? Why didn't you call me?"

Shi Xi called him and got up from the bed.

"You were tired last night, so I wanted you to rest more, so I didn't call you."

Hearing Shi Xi's voice, Xiao Jingyan instantly calmed down.

It was as if Shi Xi was his medicine. As long as he was in front of her, all his bad emotions, uneasiness, worry, anger, and hatred would disappear.

Shi Xi glanced at her cell phone. It was already past eight o'clock. She didn't want to waste any more time and hurried to get ready, wash up, and teach Xiao Jingyan how to ride a bike.

But, before riding a bike, you should have a good breakfast.

"Well, let me order breakfast first. What do you want to eat?"

"I can eat anything."

Xiao Jingyan replied with a smile.

Shi Xi paused her finger as she was swiping the phone. She suddenly realized that Xiao Jingyan rarely referred to himself as "This King" when talking to her.

I don’t know if this means they have a good relationship!

She ordered a standard Chinese breakfast, including fried dough sticks, soy milk, and tofu pudding.

Xiao Jingyan was not unfamiliar with these things. He had eaten them before in the capital, but after coming to Lingyao City, he almost forgot what these foods tasted like.

"I remember when I was a kid I really didn't like eating fried dough sticks because I always felt they were too oily and greasy."

"At that time, my father was in a bad mood and I didn't feel like eating. He ordered his servants to take it away and let me go hungry."

"Sometimes, I'm so hungry before lunch that I have to sneak a bite from the kitchen. I accidentally discovered that these fried dough sticks are only really delicious when they're cold."

Xiao Jingyan suddenly became inspired and talked about his childhood.

When I talked about the funny part, I couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the bright smile like a child on his face, Shi Xi also smiled unconsciously.

I never expected that soy milk and fried dough sticks already existed in Xiao Jingyan's dynasty.

Judging from the workmanship and patterns of the antiques Xiao Jingyan gave him, the aesthetic taste and craftsmanship of the people of the Dayong Dynasty in porcelain and jewelry were not inferior to those of modern times.

She was becoming more and more curious about the Great Yong Dynasty, and she really hoped that one day she could travel back there and see it with her own eyes.

However, since Xiao Jingyan wanted to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks, Shi Xi thought that she could also arrange such a breakfast for them as a way to improve their diet.

Having just had barbecue last night, she plans to sell soy milk and fried dough sticks to the soldiers next morning. In this way, in addition to the basic food, oil, fruits and vegetables, meat and eggs, she will be able to let them eat something special every week.

"Xiao Jingyan, how many people are there in your military camp? Remember this and give me an accurate number when you return."

"Also, you've almost finished the food and oil I gave you last time, right? Why didn't you think of asking me for anything?"

"Have someone go back and calculate how much grain, oil, fruits, vegetables, meat, and eggs everyone uses in a day. Make me a clear list."

"From now on, everything for your Xiao Family Army will be provided by me, Shi Xi. Your entire Xiao Family Army, as well as you, the prince, are all supported by me!"

Shi Xi's chin almost reached the sky.

Having supported an entire ancient army and a little prince, Shi Xi felt that he had great reason to be proud.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but smile. When he looked at Shi Xi again, his eyes were full of doting.

After dinner, the two went to the underground garage.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, the dark light made Xiao Jingyan a little uncomfortable, but when Xi turned on the light, the newly replaced light bulb was very bright.

Xiao Jingyan looked at the small light bulb above his head and sighed:

"This thing is truly magical! It would be great if the people of Dayong could also use it!"

Although Shi Xi hasn't figured out how to build a power tower for them, he still has solar lights.

"By the way, didn't I buy you some solar panels earlier? I haven't given them to you yet."

"Once you learn how to ride a bike, take a look around your camp and see where there's plenty of sunlight and is suitable for installing solar panels. I can then deliver them to you."

Shi Xi suddenly felt that the solar panels he bought for them were not enough to charge the more than 10,000 electric vehicles.
