Chapter 347

The king of Ning, Chu Haojing, arrived in Kangyang County three days later. When he stood in front of Chu Yichen, his eyes were filled with joy and sadness.

He arranged a residence for him in the mansion and asked him to wash himself. King Jing and his concubine were invited to come to the mansion to wash the dust for him.

During the dinner, everyone was regular, chatting about the situation after a long farewell, and the excitement of goodbye.

Zhuo Qingyan has been warmly entertaining Princess Tai and Princess Jing, but from time to time he can feel the gaze of King Ning Chu Haojing.

Chu Haojing, king of Ning, was in a different situation from other princes. At that time, he was sent to the place of Qiongzhou by the former Emperor. At that time, he was very unhappy with Chu Haozhe. In addition, he was a straightforward man and did not speak very well. Naturally, he was not well liked by the former Emperor. After a quarrel with Chu Haozhe, who was still the crown prince at that time, he would not be favored by the former Emperor Transferred there.

Qiongzhou is located in the north of the Han Dynasty. Although it is close to Jinyang City, the terrain is still a bit harsh. There are nomads there, and those people are good at riding. They stay there and keep company with these people all day long. However, he is not a general and is more and more incompetent.

Fortunately, at that time, Chu Yichen sent three generals to help him. However, after calculating the time, these three generals are also veteran generals. The oldest one is over 50 years old. This time, he will not come to borrow people.

Chu Haojing is a straight tempered man. He can't hide anything. After the banquet, Chu Yichen, who sent the king's family back to the house, wanted to talk.

Chu Yi Chen also has no other way to take him to the study, two people drink tea, chat up.

"Uncle Huang, my nephew is here to borrow food..." Chu Haojing went straight to the theme.

Chu Yichen was just about to pick up the clear tea on the table to drink, when he saw Zhuo Qingyan come in with a tea tray, and there was a small porcelain pot on it. He couldn't help laughing. Zhuo Qingyan was not allowed to drink tea at night. He wanted to drink it, but also digested tea.

He immediately put down his tea cup, reached out to take the tea plate he had brought and put it on the table. He also raised his head to Chu Haojing: "try this digestion tea. It's a good thing that your Aunt Huang and Dr. ye have worked out together."

Chu Haojing nodded his head slightly, changed a cup of tea and took a sip. Then he raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Is king Ning coming to borrow food? How come the grain harvest in Qiongzhou is not enough this year Zhuo Qingyan naturally sat beside Chu Yichen and asked.

"To tell you the truth, uncle Huang and Aunt Huang, my place was originally full of mountains and little land, and there were also a group of bandits and mountain bandits. Although great efforts have been made to eliminate them every year, the effect is really very weak. In addition, the Nanding County next to Qiongzhou has sent water again this year, and many refugees have poured into Qiongzhou. Alas..." Chu Haojing sighed.

"How much food is lacking?" Chu Yi Chen also asked.

"At present, it's too late to open the pot. Qianshi is only able to solve the urgent problem. But the grain for winter is still not available..." Chu Hao Jing shook his head.

"Do you know about this situation from the person in Jingling city?" Zhuo Qingyan asked indifferently.

"Of course, I know that there are no less than 30 folding slips, but there is no reply. Besides, I asked Lincheng, Linjun and Linzhou of Qiongzhou not to send food to our side. This is what makes me sad. However, the people of Qiongzhou are also the people of the Great Han state. How can they not save themselves in the face of death?" Chu Hao patted down the table.

"Haojing, that's what you are. If you can't say three words, you will be angry. But the problem of beating the table has not been corrected. It's a waste of the emperor's intention to let you go out to experience." Chu Yichen sighed.

"Uncle Huang, it's not something I'm angry about. Can you tell me that Chu Haozhe used nearly a million people in Qiongzhou as a man? If the grain is cut off this year, and it is already winter and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, all the people in the city will have to freeze to death and starve to death. " The voice of Chu Haojing increased a little.

"Why don't you borrow it in autumn, but it's winter now." Zhuo Qingyan looks at him.

"At that time, Jingxu was able to help, and I organized people from all over the continent to go fishing and hunting in the mountains, and hoard some materials, but later on, it was still not enough, so I couldn't help it I can only come here in person. Please try my best... " Chu Haojing was embarrassed to shake his head, and felt that his hands did not know where to put them.

"Is this the idea of Hao Xu?" Chu Yichen chuckled.

"Ah? Oh Yes... " Chu Haojing is embarrassed to smile at him, the appearance is really simple and honest.

Zhuo Qing Yan also smile: "come, live well for a few days, also let king take you around the scenery of Kangyang City, borrow food, easy to say."

"No, I'm in a hurry. Even if I borrow it, I'll send it back. You don't know, Aunt Huang. I came here nonstop from Qiongzhou, and it took me a whole month." Chu Haojing straightened his face and could see that he was really worried.

"No matter how anxious you are, you have to let your uncle Huang dispatch you, don't you? What's more, the autumn grain collected previously has also been put into the official Treasury. Even if you borrow it, you have to have a procedure. You need a lot of them, but there are not enough stones. It seems that you have to find another way. " Zhuo Qingyan spoke calmly.

Chu Yichen nodded: "live first. I will try to find a way to raise food as soon as possible. How can we not starve a common people? This can make people laugh..."Chu Haojing also knew that this was not something that would happen immediately. He really regretted that he didn't listen to Hao Xu's words. He would write a letter first, so that when he came, he could bring food back. Now he still had to wait and calculate the day. Even if he went back, it might be the new year's day. At that time, he didn't dare to think about what Qiongzhou was like.

After arranging for him to return to the rest of the courtyard, Chu Yichen and Zhuo Qingyan also returned to the bedroom. After washing, they sat on the bed and chatted.

"This boy is in a daze. Fortunately, Hao Xu's early letter explained the situation. Otherwise, he would have been caught off guard." Chu Yi Chen reaches out to uncover the quilt, let Zhuo Qingyan lie in the quilt first, and then lie down and cover it.

"I can't blame him. I didn't have any reinforcements at all. It's not easy to stay there for nearly ten years. But it's hard to say whether the emperor's decision was too much." Zhuo Qingyan whispered.

"You have also said that it's not good to just give food. There are many mountains there, so it's not advisable to open mountains for planting. Moreover, in terms of season, it's not suitable. Have you ever thought about this?" Chu Yi Chen asked.

"Of course, self-sufficiency is a way of self-help. It will be a drop in the bucket if we only rely on the rescue of various places. Moreover, it is not advocated. It will be natural for those people to develop this habit." Zhuo Qingyan shakes her head.

"That's what I mean, farming? Do we have such talents in our hands? " Chu Yi Chen micro frown thought.
