The study is not small.

But so many tall and strong men came in.

Lu Jing stood up and gave his seat to everyone.

Zhou Lingling and her brother took one look at each other and also wanted to stand up.

Qi Zhu reached out and stopped Zhou Lingling with his fan.

Like goose feathers.

Zhou Lingling stared at the fan in front of her and tried to identify it.

"No need, they can find a place to sit by themselves," said Qi Zhu.

The voice just fell,

The twelve big men really found a seat for themselves.

The study is divided into two parts. One side is where they sit, and the other side has a kang by the window, which seems to be a resting place.

There is also a small table and a few chairs next to it.

The twelve people were not at all shy. They went up to the kang, sat down, and were very leisurely.

This also shows their relaxation and trust in Xiao Yan.

As to why it is not disrespectful.

Refer to the actions of these people after they shouted "Get in here" just now!

Zhou Lingling was still looking at the twelve big men with different appearances when she was poked by her brother.

"I'm asking you something!"

"what?"

Zhou Lingling turned her head and looked over.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly: "You two didn't eat enough just now, what do you want to eat?"

At that time, he saw that the little girl didn't like crowded occasions, so he agreed to let the military advisor who was eager to see her take her away.

But we invited everyone here, but why is there no food?

He looked at the lonely pot of tea on the table, and his aching temples hurt even more.

Qi Zhu also realized at this time that something seemed wrong.

He brought the two children down from the banquet and gave them a bellyful of tea...

Ahem… Qizhu stopped waving the fan and lowered his eyes silently.

What to eat?

Zhou Lingling touched her little belly filled with tea and shook her head.

"Just, not very hungry."

She noticed Xiao Yan's expression and guessed that he might be drunk.

With a turn of his eyes, Zhou Lingling asked, "This tea is delicious. Would you like to try it?"

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, and Zhou Lingling picked up the teapot beside her and went up.

Looking at the teapot with not a drop of water poured out, and the full teacup in front of him.

Xiao Yan glanced around calmly, and when he saw that no one noticed, he gave the little girl a warning look.

You better restrain yourself.

Zhou Lingling rolled her eyes, turned around and left with the teapot in her hand.

Good intentions are not rewarded...

Xiao Yan looked at the teacup in front of him, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

Suddenly, not only did the heaviness in my head disappear, but my ears and eyes became clear, and my body, which had been tired for several days, also felt relaxed.

Qi Zhu just lowered his eyes for a moment, then looked up at the person sitting behind the desk and found that the latter was in high spirits.

As expected of the master...his recovery ability is truly amazing.

"Now that everyone is here, General, what arrangements have you made for the new grain?"

Mr. Zhuang spoke first and asked the question that everyone cared about most.

Xiao Yan didn't keep the secret, "Teacher, this batch of new grain has been shipped back from the south, totaling more than 50,000 kilograms. Tonight, I have ordered the distribution of 10,000 kilograms of the new grain to the army, so that the soldiers can have a good meal. The rest..."

"what?!"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Mr. Zhuang jumped up.

"There were only 50,000 catties of new grain in total, and they distributed 10,000 catties?"

"That means we're missing tens of thousands of kilograms of grain seeds, and how much less grain will we harvest next year!"

Mr. Du also looked at Xiao Yan anxiously: "General! There is no war now, everyone should just eat until they are half full, why do you have to do this!"

After hearing what the two old men said, Zhou Lingling curled her lips in silence: "Five-point full..."

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were also skinny, she would have been unable to help but call each other vicious.

The twelve city defenders had the same idea as Zhou Lingling.

If they didn't know that Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Du only ate a wild vegetable pancake a day to save food for the soldiers, they would have been unable to help but criticize them.

Xiao Yan raised his hand to stop the two elders from continuing their accusations.

"Today is New Year's Eve, and we must let the soldiers taste the new grain. This is also to tell them that our northern border will soon have its own grain, and everyone doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat."

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, the two elders sat down in silence.

"This new grain is really as the military advisor said..." Is it magical?

Old Zhuang spoke again, but his eyes fell on the Zhou brothers and sisters opposite him.

This time, Zhou Chi didn't speak again.

Zhou Lingling then said, "We have already planted two batches of this grain in the Southern Region. The survival rate is guaranteed, and the yield has also been verified. There is no doubt about this."

"The only issue you need to worry about is whether we can achieve the same yield here as in the south, as the soil and climate in the northern border are different from those in the south."

"But there's no need to worry about this. When it comes to growing new grains, no one in the world knows more about it than my family. Until the new grains are promoted in northern Xinjiang, my family will stay here."

"Excuse me, even if it gets worse, it won't be any worse than it is now..."

Yes, at worst, it can’t be worse than it is now.

The Zhou family traveled thousands of miles to their northern border, which was full of wind, sand and barrenness. Why should they doubt it?

Seeing that everyone was easily manipulated by the little girl's few words, Xiao Yan finally spoke:

"When the first snow melts, the new crops will be planted in Anbei City first. The first harvest will be distributed to other cities in March. Each city will send twenty people. I don't need to tell you who they are, right?"

As soon as they heard the content related to themselves, those who were dozing off, playing with teacups, and picking their feet all sat up straight.

"Don't worry, General. The people we choose are definitely trustworthy!"

"Right, right, right. Isn't twenty people too few? How about sending more?"

The Dingbei City garrison tried to bargain.

After all, a few fewer people’s food rations will count, and we can also learn how to grow new crops!

They have twelve cities, with the largest having tens of thousands of people and the smallest having only a few thousand.

No matter how many people there are, everyone has to tighten their belts to eat food!

These men, who were 1.89 meters tall, used to only lead troops into battle and charge into battle, but now they have become petty and stingy women.

Otherwise, you’ll go hungry if you’re not careful.

"Yes, yes, General, why don't you send more? What if these guys can't learn..."

"If you can't learn it, go back!"

Xiao Yan's cold and ruthless voice successfully stopped the others who were ready to make a move.

"That's settled. You can make your own arrangements after the New Year."

Seeing that it is getting late,

Xiao Yan was just about to ask the brother and sister whether they wanted to rest in the mansion or go back when Fei Yu came in, exhausted.

There was a half-grown boy following behind him.

The young man was also dressed in black, and his childishness had faded a lot. He looked like a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed, with a resolute face.

The teenager saw a familiar face and winked at the other person secretly.

Zhou Chi and Zhou Lingling smiled knowingly, and the latter also secretly gave her second brother a thumbs up.

Second brother, that’s awesome!

Fei Yu excitedly said, "Master, we've captured sixteen. Seven are from the army, and the rest are from the city!"
