All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 668: Harmon

The latest website: After Yin Huaixi guarded the northern border, he put a lot of effort into business and trade. The "Xi Xin" dart shop has a dart, which is dedicated to traveling north. It has indeed driven commerce and trade, and the northern border has become more prosperous.

But the lives of the people at the bottom have not improved much.

And Yu Youyao's move has indeed greatly improved their lives.

In this aspect, he is far inferior to Yu Youyao.

The steward didn't know what he was thinking: "Missy not only bought land in Youzhou, but also bought villages and mountain lands in every town in the north, where crops such as sweet potatoes and groundnuts were planted, and pine, elm, etc. were planted on the mountains. Oak wood, these are long-lasting trees in the north. The young lady said that these woods will become material if they grow for more than ten years. They were all handed over to the families of the martyrs and the families of the poor fighters.”

Pine wood, elm wood, and oak wood are all commonly used wood in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The wood is not cheap, but after it is made into a material, it is guaranteed to make money without losing money.

But in fact, everyone understands that the weather in the north has been dry for the past two years, and the eldest lady was worried about the drought early in the morning, so she bought a lot of mountain land and asked the families of martyrs and poor soldiers to plant trees. With money, the family can also store food, and if there is a drought, they will not starve to death.

The eldest lady also said: "I don't lack money. Planting trees is a century-old project. I can benefit myself and help others by the way. Why not do it?"

The steward continued: "Not only that, the young lady also brought chestnuts and walnuts from other places to the northern border for planting. She said that these dried fruits are very adaptable to the environment, so they must be able to grow. There is no way for the lack of supplies in the northern border. However, conditions can be created artificially, such things as dried fruits are also valuable things, and they will also be an income when they are planted in the north in the future."

Only then did Yin Huaixi know how much the little girl had done for him and for the northern border without saying a word.

When the escort traveled north and south, there were stewards who were proficient in farming to accompany them, recording the conditions of the crops in various places. Thinking that "Heavenly Creation of Things" would benefit thousands of years, they also felt that this was a good move.

Only now did Yin Huaixi know that Yu Youyao had far-reaching plans.

Without a steward who is proficient in farming, how could Yu Youyao know that chestnuts and walnuts are adaptable to the environment and can be grown in the north with escorts?

The manager is a native of the northern border, and when he mentions these, he is also full of words: "So far, the eldest lady has planted 16 kinds of crops obtained from other places in the northern border. The eldest lady said that this is also the sweet potato that inspired her. Although One side of water and soil,

Raising one person, but as long as you understand the growth habits of some crops and find a proficient person to serve them, you can also adapt to local conditions. This is much easier than planting some new species with unknown conditions. It doesn’t matter if the planting is not good for a while, you can spend some time Trial planting, if the trial planting is not successful, it will take some time and energy, once it succeeds, it will be the luck of the North..."

When the steward talked about the eldest lady, he had endless things to say.

Yin Huaixi was also willing to listen, so he didn't interrupt. Thinking of Yu Youyao who was far away in Jingzhao, he was both proud and happy, and immediately lost the mood to inspect.

Immediately, he rode his horse and swung his whip, and rushed back to the Wumu Palace.

At this time, Uncle Sun was administering needles to Yin Yi.

Yin Yi is Yin Huaixi's personal bodyguard and also his stand-in. He ate and lived with him since he was a child, and it was Yin Yi who protected him on the battlefield in the northern border, so that he was not trampled to death by disorderly horses.

Yin Yi's leg was also broken by the horse at that time.

Yin Huaixi deliberately brought Uncle Sun back together, intending to let Uncle Sun help Yin Yi recuperate his body first, and then let Uncle Sun help Yin Yi heal his legs when he comes back next time.

With a mask on his face, Yin Yi respectfully called the young master.

Yin Huaixi nodded and asked Uncle Sun, "How is he?"

Uncle Sun rolled his eyes: "His physical condition is much better than yours at the beginning. After a period of careful recuperation, he can be treated with acupuncture after a while."

Over the years, Miss Yu has made all kinds of fragrant medicines, and Yin Yi also has a share, so Yin Yi's legs are also well-raised.

Yin Huaixi nodded, and asked, "How is the deployment at Zaoyu Pass?"

Yin Yi replied: "Young master, please rest assured that the gates of the narrow Yu Pass have been sealed according to your order. Within a month, no one is allowed to enter or exit the narrow Yu Pass. Soldiers are also sent to guard all the gates."

Yin Huaixi said lightly: "Send the defense map of Zayuguan to Harmon, and tell him to meet at Zayuguan ten days later, of course, if he dares to come."

Since it is a transaction, both parties must express a certain degree of sincerity.

Narrow Yuguan is the first line of defense between the northern border and Beidi. Although it is on the northern border, both sides have ways to retreat.

If Harmon wanted to trade with him, he had to follow his rules.

He sent someone to send the defense map of the narrow Yu Pass, with the defense map, Harmon can also make some preparations, and he will not be too passive after arriving at the narrow Yu Pass.

This is also his sincerity.

Three days later, Yin Huaixi received a letter from Harmon, and Harmon agreed to Di Yuguan's request for a meeting.

Harmon was not a fool either. Although Zayuguan was the territory of Da Zhou, the Di people had been looting around Zayuguan all the year round, and they were very familiar with the surrounding terrain, so they had a way out.

The northern border was also hit by a drought. As long as King Wu Mu was not too stupid, he would not act rashly.

Moreover, Beidi's war horses have always been a scarce commodity in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and King Wu Mu must have wished for them.

When he made a transaction request, he took a step back.

King Wu Mu asked to meet at Zaoyuguan, and then sent a defense plan, which was also one advance and one retreat.

Since both sides have made concessions, they have expressed their sincerity.

He has no reason to refuse.

Seven days later, Yin Huaixi brought a thousand elite soldiers to Zaoyu Pass in person, and Harmon also brought a thousand elite soldiers to Diyu Pass in person.

The two sides have a tacit understanding with each other, and the places where they camp are separated by a certain distance, interfering with each other.

After a short rest, on the third day of camping, Yin Huaixi and Harmon met at Yang Shang, a military training school on a hill in Zaoyu Pass.

Harmon was nearly forty years old, tall and burly, with a short beard under his nose, which made him look very heroic and strong.

Seeing Yin Huaixi standing on top of the school Yang, Harmon was shocked, his eyes filled with guard and fear, he stared at his legs, and unconsciously clenched the scimitar around his waist.

Yin Huaixi's leg recovered? !

Seventy points of fear suddenly became ten points, and for a moment, he even felt that it would be best to reach a deal request with King Wu Mu this time.

This is a good start, and if the deal can continue, the two sides can also truce.

King Zhou Li of the Great Zhou guarded the northern border for many years, but Beidi did not get much favors. Instead, he suffered heavy losses due to the loss of soldiers and generals in the first battle six years ago, and has not yet recovered.

In the past two years, King Wu Mu guarded the northern border, and the two sides fought several times to test each other. Harmon felt that King Wu Mu was even more difficult to deal with than King Zhou Li.

If the fight continues, it must be Beidi who suffers.
