Chapter 296: Meet Bole, and you will be able to show your talent
At that time, Ji Chuhe was full of doubts about Shen Chengjing's words.
However, she had no way to verify Shen Chengjing's words.
From then on, he gave up the idea of making Shen Chengjing a disciple of Wuyang Marquis Mansion.
If, it is really as Xiao Yanan said.
Marquis Wuyang met them because of the Six Strategies of Military Service.
Then, it was impossible that I didn’t even meet Shen Chengjing in my previous life!
It must be Shen Chengjing who lied!
It must be Marquis Wuyang who met him, but he did not catch Marquis Wu's eye!
Shen Chengjing was an extremely conceited person. He certainly didn't want to reveal such things, so he lied to her.
However, she couldn't be sure now whether Marquis Wuyang met them because of the Six Strategies of Military Service, and she could only be sure after she got Marquis Wuyang's Mansion.
The carriage traveled for about an incense stick of time and slowly stopped.
"Prince, Madam, we have arrived at the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion." Tianxi's voice rang out.
Xiao Yan'an got out of the car first, then stood by the car and personally helped Ji Chuhe.
People from Wuyang Marquis' Mansion also came over immediately.
"I greet the Crown Prince and his wife. My Lord and his wife are waiting for you two. Please follow me into the mansion."
"Thank you." Xiao Yan'an replied politely.
Wuyanghou Mansion is not very big and is a bit old. Some of the blue bricks on the walls of the outer courtyard are broken and have not been repaired. The paint on the originally painted gate has faded, revealing some of the original color of the wood.
However, when these are put together, they do not appear bleak at all, but instead give people a feeling that they have become more and more profound over the years.
The steps leading into the palace are bumpy and uneven.
This is because there are too many people coming to visit, and they trample on the place like this.
This shows how many people have come to visit Marquis Wuyang.
The servant led Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an to the reception room in the front yard.
There were two gray-haired old men sitting in the room. They were Marquis Wuyang and his wife.
Both of them were wearing simple clothes that looked like they were made from the same piece of cloth, except that the embroidery on the two clothes was different.
The lapels of Marquis Wuyang's outer garment were embroidered with green bamboos, while the lapels of his wife's garment were embroidered with purple lotuses.
Although Marquis Wuyang is already of such age, he still has a feeling of being as bright and refreshing as a breeze, and his eyes are clear and bright, like a clear spring.
The wife of Marquis Wuyang wore a silver hairpin inlaid with purple colored glaze on her head, and no other extra jewelry. She had fair skin and looked at Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan with a gentle smile.
"Prince, Madam." Marquis Wuyang stood up and bowed to Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe.
The marquis's wife also stood up and bowed to greet him.
In terms of status, Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe are still more noble.
Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe quickly returned the greeting.
Especially Xiao Yan'an, who bowed even lower. Ji Chuhe also expressed his admiration through this return gesture.
"Please take a seat, both of you." Marquis Wuyang welcomed the two men to their seats.
The Marquis's wife immediately ordered tea to be served.
"My lord, such a big mistake happened during the banquet in your mansion. I am really filled with regret. Today, my wife and I have come to apologize to you. I hope that my lord will not blame me." Xiao Yan'an stood up again and said to Marquis Wuyang.
"Don't worry, Prince. The Emperor has already made a decision on this matter. Prince and his wife are also victims. How can they do anything wrong?"
"Even so, I still feel uneasy. Today, with the words of the Marquis, I feel at ease."
"This matter is over." Marquis Wuyang waved his hand, and after exchanging a few words with Xiao Yan'an, he turned his gaze to Ji Chuhe, "Madam, I have benefited a lot from reading your Six Strategies for Military Service. Today, I have some questions I would like to ask you, Madam."
Xiao Yan'an actually came right.
Marquis Wuyang invited them because of the Six Strategies of Military Service.
"May I ask, sir?" Ji Chuhe responded immediately.
"At what stage has the implementation of the six military service policies reached now?"
"The cultivated land reclaimed in Yunze Mountain has been harvested for one season. It is estimated that the harvested grain will be enough for the people of Huaiyang to survive the winter safely and no longer suffer from hunger." Ji Chuhe responded truthfully.
"The Huaiyang fiefdom governs seven counties, with nearly 100,000 people! Can this season's harvest feed so many people?"
“This is something we didn’t think of before we opened up Yunze Mountain.”
"Madam, how did you know that Yunze Mountain is suitable for farming? I am really curious."
"My Lord, do you know who my grandmother is?"
"This... I don't know."
"Qinghe Wang family."
"I see!"
Although the Wang family of Qinghe was not as noble as the noble families in the imperial capital, it was also a famous scholarly family in Qinghe County.
However, there are no descendants alive today.
Because Ji Chuhe's grandmother was the only daughter of Qinghe Wang.
Otherwise, she would not have taken all the books as dowry to her husband's home.
"My grandmother's dowry included many books. Later, my father went to Huaiyang to serve as the governor of Yicheng County, and specially built a library to house my grandmother's books. I lost my mother when I was young, and was raised by my grandmother. She personally taught me and taught me. When I had nothing to do, I loved to go to the library to read. During those years in the boudoir, I read all the books in the library."
"I've read a book about farming that records that even barren mountains can be used to cultivate fertile land. Yunze Mountain is exactly like this."
"Reading makes people wise! It's true." Marquis Wuyang nodded repeatedly, "Let me ask you another question, Madam. What is the current situation of the Huaiyang Army?"
"The elimination system has been fully implemented, and the resettlement system is still in progress. During the resettlement process, a large number of people will be engaged in farming, and the development of farming will be faster. After solving the problem of food and clothing, they can free up their hands to grow other crops, and the lives of the people will become more and more stable." Ji Chuhe continued to introduce.
"The current Huaiyang is reminiscent of the prosperous early days of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"My Lord, to be honest, in the early days of the founding of Daxia, the Wuyang clan assisted our ancestor, the emperor, in establishing a prosperous era. Wasn't it to ensure that the people had enough food and clothing and lived a stable life?"
"That's right! That's it!" Marquis Wuyang nodded solemnly.
"I just plagiarized the methods of my predecessors and combined them with some practical situations."
"Madam, you are too modest!"
Marquis Wuyang looked at Ji Chuhe, as if he had finally made some important decision, and spoke again, "Madam, I have another question, but this is the question I usually ask people who come to become my disciples."
"My Lord, if my answer can satisfy you, would you be willing to accept me as your student?" Ji Chuhe asked back.
"Of course!" Marquis Wuyang responded cheerfully.
"My Lord, please ask." Ji Chuhe's tone seemed a little anxious.
"If you were not writing this six-strategy on military service for Huaiyang, but for Daxia, how would you write it?"
