Chapter 237 Improving the Hard Life in the Frontier
Chapter 237 Improving the Hard Life in the Frontier
Everyone was serious and silent along the way, and Tang Xiluo was feeling depressed all the way. Although he knew that everyone was going to fight, the atmosphere along the way was really too silent.
"Lolo, when you get to the battlefield, you should stay in the tent, and you must not run around."
Zhan Jingchen explained again and again worriedly.
Tang Xiluo nodded seriously, "Okay, okay, I understand."
"Your Majesty, we passed by a village ahead."
Tang Xiluo narrowed his eyes. "Why does this village look familiar? Have we been here before?"
After Shen Jingbei heard this, he also looked carefully at the village in front of him.
"Master, now that you mention it, I also feel that this village looks somewhat familiar."
Zhan Jingchen's mouth twitched, "This is the village we helped back then. We arranged for them to stay here after returning to Beijing."
"I see!"
"This is such a coincidence!"
……
"I pay my respects to the prince and princess!"
Tang Xiluo was surprised and asked, "Village Chief, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
When the village chief saw her, his eyes reddened slightly.
"Princess, even if we forget anyone else, we can never forget you."
"Yes, yes, you are the great benefactor of our village, the great benefactor of our ancestors. Even if you turn into ashes, we will still recognize you."
Without the princess, how could they live such a happy life now?
When Tang Xiluo heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly. They knew him even if he turned into ashes? Why did he sound so much like an enemy? He didn't sound like their benefactor at all.
"Ahem, it's a good thing I met you. We agreed at the beginning that I would also have to share the commission, but you still haven't given it to me yet..."
When the village chief heard this, he immediately sent someone to get it.
"Princess, we would never dare to embezzle it. I have asked people to prepare your share and are about to send it to the capital..." Now their village is the richest among the surrounding villages.
Who could have thought that in such a short period of time, a village like theirs could become the richest within a ten-mile radius? This is all thanks to the prince and princess.
Tang Xiluo waved his hand and said, "Since we are passing by here, you don't have to send the things to the capital. Just give them to me now."
The conditions in the border areas are harsh, and this money can be used to improve the difficult life in the border areas.
Soon several villagers brought up several large boxes.
The village chief said respectfully, "Princess, this is what we agreed upon at the time."
Now they have moved to a new place and the sweet bamboo trees they grow are better than those in their previous place. The sugar they produce is also sweeter and can be sold at a better price, so their village has boosted the economy of the surrounding villages.
This time, not only Tang Xiluo was shocked, Shen Jingbei also looked surprised.
"You have earned so much in such a short time? It's incredible!"
The village chief scratched the back of his head, looking a little honest.
"Princess, these are all collected by every household in the village. They knew that Your Majesty was going to go to war, so these boxes contain not only the ingredients promised at that time."
They are all Chinese. Although they don't have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, they also want to make some contribution, so this box contains not only banknotes, but also food and clothes.
Zhan Jingchen took the boxes solemnly and said, "Thank you, everyone. We will definitely protect every inch of land and every person in the country."
"Why don't we just stay in the village tonight? Although our village is not big, every household can still accommodate so many people if we squeeze in."
Although their village has become rich, they believe that one should not forget their roots and should keep a low profile, so the village is not built too luxuriously and looks like an ordinary village from a distance.
Zhan Jingchen shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, but we need to travel overnight."
When leaving, Tang Xiluo packed up a bunch of delicious food and took it away.
"It's hard to imagine! That backward refugee village has developed so rapidly now, and even boosted the surrounding villages..."
Shen Jingbei said with a sigh.
Tang Xiluo shrugged and said, "This is God's gift."
They just happened to live next to the sugarcane, and their village just happened to be surrounded by sugarcane. Even if I wasn't there, they might be able to discover it themselves after a while.
Besides, the people in this village are all good people, simple, hardworking, sincere and kind.
Even though they have money, they have not forgotten their roots, and they do not pay attention to those external luxuries...
Zhan Jingchen looked at the little girl with gratitude. She could obviously make great contributions every time, but she was always low-key. She could see the advantages of everyone...
"Lolo, thank you."
Tang Xiluo was so confused by the thanks. What happened to him? He said thank you to him for no reason? This was too sudden.
But she still waved her hand casually, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
No matter what he wanted to thank me for, I felt that it was unnecessary for him to thank me. Isn't it the duty of husband and wife to help each other? What's more, I knew from the beginning that he had a heavy responsibility.
Because they kept on traveling, they reached their destination in a few days.
Tang Xijing personally brought people to greet her, and he was completely dumbfounded when he saw his daughter.
Then came a look of anger, "Ridiculous, this is simply nonsense! Who asked you to come? Is this where you should be?"
Tang Xiluo looked around carefully. The war had not yet begun and both sides were still in a stalemate, but this war would have to be fought sooner or later.
"Dad, I'm here to help you."
Tang Xici frowned, "This is the army, this is the frontier, danger can happen at any time, how can a girl like you come here?!"
Tang Xiluo stood on the city wall and said, "Why can't I come here? I can do the same things you can do. I am not much worse than you."
Tang Xijing's face was dark. "I know you are smart and powerful, but you are not needed here at all. We will win even without you! If that's the case, why did you follow us?"
The battlefield is a place of brutal swords and there will be bloodshed, injuries and deaths. Even victory will come at a heavy price, with at least heavy casualties.
How could a little girl like her be here?! Defending the country is their job! Protecting their wives and families at home is their job.
Tang Xiluo glanced at him speechlessly, then said a few words coldly, "You old feudal idiot! I was thinking of coming to help you."
Tang Xijing's face darkened, "I don't need your help, just go back." He and his eldest son were already here in their family, and there were already two people who had dedicated themselves to the country, so he wanted to be a little selfish, he wanted his two daughters to be well.
