Chapter 174 Confirming the Love Relationship
Chapter 174 Confirming the Love Relationship
A month later, the yellow buds of the winter jasmine blossomed all over the mountains and plains of Lingyao City.
Whether it is the projects that Xiao Jingyan asked everyone to build or the farming, there have been outstanding changes.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, rice; wheat, corn, soybeans...
Everyone planted all the seeds that Shi Xi sent.
Knowing that Lingyao City has strong winds and is still very cold even in spring and summer, Shi Xi sent them a plastic greenhouse and asked them to use it to cover vegetables and some short-growing fruits. In this way, they will be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables soon.
In addition, Shi Xi also told them to collect farm manure, which is everyone's excrement, and use these things to irrigate the fields so that the crops can grow fast and well.
At first, everyone felt a little disgusted, but Shi Xi insisted that they try it, and they were able to adapt to it little by little.
Two days ago, Xiao Jingyan's troops found a litter of piglets in the mountains. They should be wild boars, and they look completely different from the pink fragrant pigs in modern society.
However, modern domestic pigs also evolved through the continuous reproduction of wild boars.
Shi Xi sent them manuals on raising various wild animals, including piglets, pheasants, wild ducks, and even deer and tigers.
Let them raise these animals according to the instructions in the book so that they can reproduce more and more.
In this way, when Shi Xi stops delivering goods to them in the future, the people of Lingyao City will be able to eat various kinds of meat.
These techniques were passed on to Xiao Jingyan by Shi Xi, who finalized them only after repeated research by the smart soldiers in the army and professional and literate people in the city.
They also passed on their knowledge to all the people without reservation and free of charge.
The class has started and the line has already stretched to the foot of the mountain.
During this period, the number of calves, lambs and foals that Xiao Jingyan had requested from Wanyan Longmu at the beginning of winter also increased rapidly.
They eat well and gain weight.
That day, Xiao Jingyan had someone kill a sheep, make roasted lamb chops and hand-held lamb, and also sent some to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi ate with gusto. This healthy meat tasted special and was much better than the meat fed with feed and hormones from farms.
Now, Shi Xi's life is getting better and better. Every day when she wakes up in her big villa, she checks the balance of her bank card.
Because he was worried that Xiao Jingyan might need a large amount of funds somewhere else, Shi Xi did not keep all the money in the bank, but only deposited a small amount for a life insurance policy.
Just the interest she earns from the bank every day is enough for an ordinary person's monthly salary.
Adding in the daily income from Zhongli Group’s shares, Shi Xi’s currently available assets are almost reaching 4 billion.
But Shi Xi still felt that it was not enough.
She needs more money, she wants to be the richest person!
Moreover, the antique world did not allow her to rest. There were always people coming to her to buy antiques through Sister Meng, the Yan family, the Ye family, and the Qi family.
Even Wei Yingchuan was restless and often bombarded her with phone calls, which made her very distressed.
Antiques are not like other things. She cannot have a constant supply of them and she is also afraid that someone from above will investigate her.
If the state sends someone to ask her about the provenance of these antiques and she can't answer, wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble?
There was no other way, so she had informed several people who came to her to get antiques in advance and asked them not to mention her to outsiders.
Moreover, the number of antiques she sold each time was limited, not too many.
With the protection of the Yan family and the Ye family, she has indeed always lived in peace.
She and Xiao Jingyan finally confirmed their romantic relationship.
Even though the two are thousands of miles apart, it still can't stop them from falling in love.
In Shi Xi's words, love is in the present, and don't worry about what will happen in the future.
However, Xiao Jingyan also promised Shi Xi that once the affairs in the Dayong Dynasty were completely resolved, he would marry into Shi Xi's family.
Shi Xi didn't want to make things difficult for him. Knowing that Xiao Jingyan couldn't become a modern person, she wanted the two of them to continue their relationship like they did now, separated by time and space, each busy with their own things during the day and meeting again at night. This was also not bad, and it would be a novel experience.

That day, Xiao Jingyan had just returned from Shi Xi's place when he heard a commotion outside.
He took the initiative to open the door and came out to inquire.
"Don't you have anything to do? What are you arguing about?"
Looking at the soldiers gathered outside the door, Xiao Jingyan asked loudly.
Wang Tiezhu was the first to bow and apologize:
"Your Majesty, there is urgent news!"
Xiao Jingyan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"It's General Huang Yi. The imperial court has ordered him to lead 80,000 troops to Lingyao City to replace you and ask you to hand over the tiger talisman."
"If you don't give it to me, then Huang Yi can attack us directly. The emperor has issued a death order and you can be beheaded on the spot."
Afraid that Xiao Jingyan would get angry after hearing these words, Wang Tiezhu spoke the entire time while kneeling on one knee.
"Your Majesty, how about I sneak into their camp and kill Huang Yi?"
Jiang Zhihao expressed his loyalty.
Everything he has now was given by Xiao Jingyan, and he couldn't bear to see Xiao Jingyan get into trouble.
When he said this, everyone present agreed, but Xiao Jingyan did not give in.
"Where are Huang Yi and the others now?"
Xiao Jingyan asked curiously.
"They've already reached Wuyue City. They'll probably be at our city gates in less than three days."
"If it weren't for the disaster, they would have arrived long ago without food and no strength to travel."
Liu Deyou replied, and did not forget to explain to Xiao Jingyan the real reason why Huang Yi and the others arrived so late.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyan instantly thought of the famine.
"No need to go through the trouble of killing someone."
"We want to make Huang Yi and the imperial court admit defeat with conviction!"
The corners of Xiao Jingyan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
Everyone knew that the prince had another bad idea, so they all came over to listen.
"You guys, drive a few tricycles, fill them with food, and go to the vicinity of Huang Yi's army."
"Just say that anyone who surrenders to my Xiao family army will have a variety of food every day, and their military pay will also be in the form of food, which they can take home to feed their families."
"If one person surrenders to my Xiao family army and becomes a soldier of my Xiao family, then his whole family will never starve to death!"
The wages of avarice is death.
Now that Huang Yi's soldiers were starving to death, how could they still be so foolish as to be loyal to Huang Yi? To the imperial court?
The famine is simply God’s help to him. It will help him win over the people’s hearts better, and they will be able to overthrow the imperial power of Dayong more quickly!
"Your Highness, this is a brilliant plan!"
Zhiren and Zhimo also gave him thumbs up.
"In addition, if anyone in Huang Yi's army can kill Huang Yi and come to my Xiao family army, he will be directly promoted to captain!"
Xiao Jingyan raised the stakes again, so that even if a hundred Huang Yis came, it would not be a problem.
The Xiao family army has nothing but food and supplies!
Everyone obeyed the order, and within three days, Xiao Jingyan heard that Huang Yi's 80,000 men had all surrendered to them, and Huang Yi's head had been taken.
Unfortunately, it was not taken by Huang Yi’s soldiers.
Huang Yi was a man of great martial arts skills. Those weak soldiers of the imperial court could not get close to him at all. In the end, it took the combined efforts of Wang Tiezhu, Liu Deyou, Jiang Zhihao and the four men holding the blade to subdue him.
Xiao Jingyan was very satisfied with the news.
"Send someone to drive back to the capital and make sure to throw Huang Yi's head directly to the gate of the palace!"
Xiao Jingyan issued a new order.
The uprising started with killing Huang Yi and provoking the imperial court!
