After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Qu Chu asked Ning Youbei: "Do you want me to accompany you to Yuecheng?"

Ning Youbei said: "No, the whole family, old and young, need you to take care of them, so don't worry about it."

Ning Youbei's previous sentence was false, and the affairs of Chu Palace were handled by Yan Hong, so there was no need for Qu Chu to worry about it.But the latter sentence was true, Ning Youbei didn't want Qu Chu to work too hard.

This time the past was not a march to fight, and Qu Chu didn't have to follow. She asked Ning Youbei, "Who are you going to take?"

Ning Youbei said: "I'm going to take Dai Anping and Mao Yi there."

Mao Yi is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and is good at water control.Dai Anping is Dai Anguo's younger brother and Su Fengjiao's husband-in-law.

After Ye Yu'an's death, Ning Youbei transferred Dai Anping to his side.

Qu Chu thought for a while: "Dai Anping is still too young and hasn't experienced any major events, why don't you take He Dabao with you, he is more and more experienced now."

When Ning You traveled north, Qu Chu'an was worried because he didn't have any cronies by his side.

Su Ziyi and Gu Liangfei were sent to the Wolf Country to detect fire oil a few years ago, and it will take a few days before they can return to Yudu.

Now the cronies in Yuducheng, Wang Liangcong, General Pei, Dai Anguo and others are all in high positions, it is impossible to take them away, only one He Dabao can be transferred.

Ning Youbei didn't object, he just said: "His wife is only a few months old after giving birth, wouldn't it be inappropriate to take him to Yuecheng now?"

Qu Chudao: "His wife is quite capable, He Dabao has never interfered with family affairs even in Yudu, I will send someone to talk to his wife."

More than a year ago, at the urging of Qu Chu, He Dabao finally got married.

The wife selected by He Dabao is only the only daughter of an ordinary businessman. The reason He Dabao chose her is because she is very capable and can take care of everything inside and out.

For this reason, Qu Chu couldn't figure it out, she said to Su Yingxue privately:

"Yanhong is equally capable, and she looks much prettier than the lady Dabao chose. Why did Dabao choose her instead of Yanhong?"

Su Yingxue didn't know how to tell Qu Chu.

He Dabao didn't want to get married at first, but if Qu Chu didn't urge him repeatedly, he planned to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

If she married Yanhong, if she was not good enough to Yanhong, Qu Chu would definitely not be able to spare him.

So he married a capable woman with little emotion, and the two took what they needed, just to make Qu Chu feel at ease.

But Su Yingxue couldn't say these words to Qu Chu.

Therefore, Su Yingxue only said: "It's different people's eyes, anyway, he chooses his own wife, whether it's good or bad, don't worry about it so much."

After hearing Su Yingxue's words, Qu Chu also felt that it was reasonable, and never interfered with He Dabao's private affairs again.

After confirming the personnel with Ning Youbei, Qu Chu asked again: "When do you plan to leave?"

Ning Youbei said: "At first, I wanted to wait for Ziyi to come back, but the flood in Yuecheng is very urgent, I'm afraid I can't wait, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

……

Ning Youbei and his party set off for Yuecheng, and they had just left for half a day before Su Ziyi and the others returned to Yudu.

Su Ziyi and Gu Liangfei went into the palace to report to the emperor, and Qu Bingyu first came to Chu Palace to see his son.

Su Jinrong was naturally happy to see Qu Bingyu, and kept yelling "Mother, mother", but he didn't cry like Qu Bingyu imagined.

Qu Bingyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "This brat, thankfully I miss him every day, but he doesn't miss me that much."

But seeing Su Jinrong, who was fat, smiling and silly, Qu Bingyu felt relieved.

Even if she brought it herself, that's all.

Su Jinrong didn't quite understand these sentiments, so he smiled and said, "I miss my mother too."

The old man Tianshu scolded with a smile: "He eats well, drinks well, and has fun with others in the Chu Palace, so he doesn't have the mind to think about other things."

After recounting the past, Qu Bingyu and Qu Chu talked about what happened in the past few years.

In more than two years, everyone traveled the entire wolf country, and Gu Liangfei even drew a topographic map of the wolf country.

Mrs. Hua is a master of exploration. Under her leadership, three large oil fields were discovered, two of which are adjacent to the Dayu Kingdom, and one is adjacent to the Lumu Department and the Huayue Department.

The craftsmen brought by Mrs. Hua roughly extracted and processed kerosene, which proved that kerosene can be used to drive machinery in addition to burning.

In addition to the three large oil fields, Mrs. Hua also led people to detect three coal mines, three iron mines, two copper mines and three other mineral deposits, reaping huge harvests.

Su Ziyi established Dayu Kingdom bases on these mines, sent soldiers to garrison them, and established important trade routes with Dayu Kingdom and Lumu, Huayue, Huatian, Haiqing and other ministries.

Qu Bingyu said: "Before everyone said that the land in the Wolf Country was barren and could not grow food, but in the eyes of Mrs. Hua, it is a treasure land."

After listening to Qu Bingyu's detailed explanation, Qu Chu asked, "What's the current situation in the Wolf Country?"

Qu Bingyu said:

"The wolf country has no leader, the population is withered, and they live scattered in lands with aquatic plants and oases.

It is precisely because the wolf country is weak that Dayu's army can run rampant in the territory of the wolf country.

However, over the past year, people from the Wolf Country gradually traded with the tribes in the west and the caravans of the Dayu Kingdom. The people of the Wolf Country exchanged sheepskins, wool, and caravans for food, cloth, etc. "

Qu Chu remained silent, she was responsible for the bleak situation in Wolf Country today.

Qu Bingyu comforted Qu Chu and said:

"Don't think too much about it. Although the population of the wolf country is dying, the survivors don't have to fight anymore and can live in peace. Now that the trade channel has been established, they won't starve to death even if they don't plunder."

Qu Chudao: "You don't need to comfort me, since I made a choice back then, I don't need to pretend to be a good person now."

Su Yingxue changed the subject: "Bingyu, are you afraid that you will be promoted this time when you come back? You are the second female official in Dayu Kingdom besides the harem."

Qu Chu also took the words: "And Fengmei, I heard that she has learned all the detection techniques with Mrs. Hua?"

Qu Bingyu said:

"Yes, Fengmei's sense of smell is different from that of ordinary people. She can smell odors that ordinary people can't smell, which is very helpful in detection. Mrs. Hua accepted her as an apprentice and taught Fengmei all the detection knowledge she knew. .

Today, Fengmei can detect not only fire oil resources, but also coal, copper, iron and other mineral deposits. "

Qu Chu said: "This is very good. If women can support themselves with their own abilities, it will be a big improvement."

……

A few days later, the court issued awards to Su Ziyi and others.

Su Ziyi made great achievements in leading the team and was promoted to the third-rank general of chariots and cavalry;

Gu Liangfei made great achievements in drawing maps, and was promoted several levels in a row, and was promoted to the official fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister, in charge of diplomatic affairs.

Su Fengmei's husband-in-law, Hua Wuye and others who followed were also awarded official positions of different levels.

In addition to these people, the most eye-catching thing is the reward for women.

Mrs. Hua is fine, the title of the third-rank county head is just a vain job.But Qu Bingyu and Su Fengmei are real officials.
