My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

With her intelligence, she'll surely come up with a good solution.

No, she can not only come up with good ideas, but she can also defeat them. Just look at the Qi army whose granaries were burned.

Thinking of his brave and capable junior sister, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

"You personally lead the troops to deal with the Qi army disguised as bandits."

Dealing with King Xuan and King Duan is one thing, but the Qi army that killed their people cannot be let off the hook.

If he were to ignore the Qi army's killing of civilians at this time and focus solely on scheming against King Xuan and King Duan, then what difference would there be between him and them?

"Yes!"

After Li Mingrui left, Fu Ci picked up the map and began to think about seizing grain.

To seize the enemy's grain, one must first find out where their granaries are located. After frowning and studying the map for a moment, he summoned his personal guards, gave them several addresses, and instructed them to send men to scout them out.

After the guards left, he summoned the granary official and asked about the progress of purchasing grain from the people.

Prince Rui was unwilling to increase taxes on the people under his jurisdiction, but the army was indeed short of food.

So Fu Ci came up with a plan: to sell some of his private property and use the money to buy grain from the people.

However, Cang Cao's answer made him feel heavy-hearted.

Because of the large influx of refugees into Jiangzhou, a batch of grain had already been purchased from the local people to accommodate them, and now the people do not have much grain left.

Even with high prices, not many ordinary people dare to sell. After all, if they all sold, what would they eat?

Fu Ci was surprised that he hadn't been able to buy much grain. He then asked, "What about meat?"

Li Cangcao lowered his head and said, "I bought eight pigs."

Fu Ci frowned and said, "Jiangzhou is such a big place, how come you only managed to buy eight pigs?"

Li Cangcao said, "I heard that before we went there, some merchants had already gone to buy some. They bought not only pigs, but also domestic chickens, ducks, and sheep. I heard that people were willing to pay high prices for any livestock."

Fu Ci reacted instantly and angrily said, "This is simply outrageous!"

It must have been done secretly by someone from Prince Xuan's or Prince Duan's side. He never expected them to do such a thing; he had been too careless.

He suppressed his anger and immediately summoned his men. "Give the order to keep an eye on all the checkpoints. Arrest and interrogate all the merchants who are transporting poultry out of the area."

After everyone had left, he looked at the map and thought about whether he had missed anything.

As he pondered, he inexplicably thought of his quirky junior sister.

I have no idea what she's doing.

Meanwhile, Ji Yunshuang, whom Fu Ci was thinking about, was busy.

She bought five estates today, and immediately began arranging for their cultivation.

He took Xia Biao and reassigned the people from one of the villages to other villages. He also cleared out the warehouse and put the sweet potatoes and potatoes into it.

It must be said that Xia Biao's misunderstanding helped her resolve a lot of trouble.

He thought Ji Yunshuang was a demon. Whether she conjured sweet potatoes out of thin air or made things disappear with a wave of her hand, he only thought she was using magic and didn't find it strange.

Having witnessed Ji Yunshuang's prowess and been imprisoned for so long, he never betrayed her.

This made things easier for her.

Besides entrusting him with the task of planting seeds in each village, she also planned to have Xia Biao take charge of sending grain to the army.

Just then, the know-it-all ran over, "Big sister, we didn't buy anything!"

Ji Yunshuang was unaware that Fu Ci had arranged for people to buy grain and meat from the common people.

Yesterday, she also contacted Wan Shi Tong and asked him to inquire whether there were any farmers nearby who sold live poultry.

Her idea at the time was to buy live poultry such as pigs, cattle, and sheep, to give some to the farm to raise, and to take the rest to the army to nourish the soldiers.

Unexpectedly, after spending a whole day running around, the all-knowing man ended up buying nothing.

She asked, "What happened?"

Wan Shi Tong Dao said, "The brothers I sent out came back and said that someone went to the village first and bought up all the livestock."

After Ji Yunshuang went to the army, she entrusted several estates to Wan Shitong and his group for management.

Although Wan Shitong was helping Ji Yunshuang manage the estate, he didn't abandon his old profession.

Moreover, he also picked up quite a few people from the village.

Most of these people are idlers.

Some were forced into vagrancy due to family misfortunes. Others were simply seeking pleasure and indulging in petty theft…

Know-it-all used to be a street urchin, so he had a knack for dealing with these kinds of people.

Under his reform and selection process, the idlers who remained all obediently followed his instructions and respectfully called him "Big Brother."

This time, Ji Yunshuang asked him to help buy livestock from the surrounding villages, so he arranged for these people to go with him.

Upon hearing his words, Ji Yunshuang sensed something was amiss. She quickly asked, "Did you ask the villagers exactly when this happened?"

The all-knowing man had also noticed something amiss, so he had inquired carefully with the villagers. Seeing Ji Yunshuang ask, he quickly recounted what he had learned.

Wan Shi Tong Dao: "We visited dozens of villages today, and based on the answers from the villagers, it seems to be something that happened in the last ten days or so."

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment and asked, "How many people do you have under your command right now?"

Wan Shi Tong Dao: "There are more than thirty reliable and clever ones."

Ji Yunshuang said, "Quickly ask them to help find out where those who bought the livestock went. Once they find out the specific direction, come back and tell me as soon as possible."

The all-knowing man didn't ask what happened, but quickly took people to inquire.

Ji Yunshuang was unaware that Fu Ci had discovered that someone had come to Jiangzhou, posing as a merchant, and was trying to drive them into a corner.

At that moment, she really missed modern telephones, where you could exchange information simply by making a call.

Now, she finds it completely inconvenient to communicate with him.

She can only play it by ear.

Due to an unexpected incident, she was temporarily unable to take Zhu Dong'e to the mountain, so she wrote a short letter and asked Xia Biao to deliver it to Tianxiangfang and give it to Zhu Dong'e.

Under Ji Yunshuang's influence, Zhu Dong'e underwent a complete transformation.

She not only diligently learned to make pastries, but also learned to read from the shop's accountant. Now, she recognizes almost every character except for the most difficult or obscure ones.

She understood the letter Xia Biao sent without asking anyone for help.

After reading the content, she felt a little disappointed, but mostly touched.

As a servant, Ji Yunshuang shouldn't have taken her to see her daughter if she had other matters to attend to; she shouldn't have had to worry about her at all. It's always the servants who do things for their masters, not the other way around.

But Ji Yunshuang not only found her a daughter and planned for her daughter's future, but now that she has something to do and can't take her to see her daughter as planned, she actually sent someone to deliver a letter to her to tell her.

She's incredibly lucky in her life to have met such a wonderful person.

She wiped away her tears and said to Xia Biao, "Tell the master that she has her own business to attend to and doesn't need to worry about me. Please thank the master for me, and thank her for remembering us."
