Chapter 338 Unique Cohesion
"Xuanyuan Zhong?" Generally, people with the surname Xuanyuan are relatives of the emperor, so this person should be too.

"Yes, Beizhou was his fief in the past. After his death, it was taken back by the royal family. King Xuan is the second prince to take Beizhou as his fief!" the refugee continued.

Zhang Momo on the side heard this and explained, "Princess, this Xuanyuanzhong was not named a king, but was named a general, but he is equivalent to a prince. He is the youngest uncle of the current emperor. One generation, he can be regarded as a member of the royal family with outstanding abilities."

After saying this, Tong Xiaowu understood, why didn't he hear of any prince coming here to become king?It turned out that they were not the direct relatives of the emperor. Although they were close relatives, they could be regarded as side branches outside the orthodox line.

However, according to the rumors, he is a member of the royal family who has accomplished a lot.

"Nurse Zhang, don't be too busy with the work here. You can take two maidservants to the city to recruit some female workers! Find someone to make cotton clothes, don't we bring a lot of fabric? Let someone go to buy cotton, hurry up Let’s make cotton clothes, it’s snowing today, and it’ll be colder tomorrow, no matter what, we have to let the common people live…”

"Yes, yes, princess! The old slave is going now..." Zhang Nanny nodded heavily, and called two maids from the porridge shed to recruit people on the street.

Seeing this scene, the few refugees who were helping looked at Tong Xiaowu in surprise. In the past, the family members of the officials were surrounded by several people to protect them. food.

And this princess from the capital not only gave out porridge for free, but also cooked it by herself, and also made cotton padded clothes for poor people like them?It is really unexpected!

When serving porridge, the scene was a little chaotic, but when everyone saw the food stored in the back, it returned to normal.

The porridge distribution continued until midnight, when all the porridge was put away, everyone retreated.

That night, Tong Xiaowu sat in front of the brazier in the main hall, looking at the dancing flames with a solemn expression.

There are more than a dozen houses on both sides, all with stoves, and everyone is busy making cotton clothes. They are all women who are used to needlework. I worked harder.

"Reporting to the princess, we have checked, and there are more than 5000 people who need cotton clothes at the scene. I don't know if there will be more tomorrow." Lu Xing came to report.

Tong Xiaowu nodded, "Understood, you can just tell Nanny Zhang, let her make according to five thousand first."

"Yes……"

"Princess, aren't we planning to use those fabrics to do business with Beiming people? Why are we using them?"

Xiao He, who was serving on the side, asked in a low voice, she has been afraid to speak for the past two days, Qingxiu was injured, Bei Ming's situation is so bad, and the princess has been very serious these two days, she felt a great deal pressure.

Today, the concubine actually used up three carts of cotton cloth, not enough to send people to go to other places to buy it.

It was said before that they came here to do business to make money from Beiming people, but now it seems that they will lose a lot of money here.

"Use it, those cotton cloths are worthless in Nanzhou, but they can save lives here, just use them, Xiao He, did you listen to that song today?" Tong Xiaowu suddenly changed the subject.

Xiao He nodded, "I've heard about taking care of Qingxiu in the inner room, Wangfei, the people here are not simple!"

"Well! Everything is not simple!" Tong Xiaowu had a rare smile on his face:
"Northern wind howls, war drums shake, Beizhou Road is long, Xuanhe River is turbulent, winter is cold for half a year, horses are stationed in the north, soldiers are shedding blood, fighting for thousands of miles in the wilderness, when to build great achievements, Huanfengguan Yongan..."

Tong Xiaowu sang, and the night was long, and someone who heard her singing also sang along, it was sung by the commoner women of Beizhou who made cotton clothes.

Tong Xiaowu stood up, walked out, came to one of the wing rooms, opened the curtain and walked in.

"Princess!" Everyone stood up, she waved her hand, "Sit down, sit down, you guys continue, I'm free, come and have a look..."

"Princess, you didn't rest last night, why don't you go to bed early tonight?" Nanny Zhang on the side asked anxiously.

"I'll just stay for a while. The prince hasn't come back yet. I'll go back when he comes back. You guys have worked hard these two days. I'll forget it. We have a total of more than 100 people and need more than 5000 cotton-padded clothes. Each person has three pieces a day. Ten It will be done in a few days, and everyone will take turns to rest, and it will be fine after these days of busy work!"

"Princess, don't worry, we will work hard..." A woman in her 30s said. She was wearing coarse linen, which was worn out but clean.

"Okay!" Tong Xiaowu nodded and started chatting with these people.

Through chatting, Tong Xiaowu knew that some of the refugees from Beizhou were exiled prisoners, and some were herdsmen and farmers from Beizhou.

Before the winter, the Beiming army invaded and killed a thousand miles in Xuanyuan before stopping. They burned, killed and looted all the way, robbed a lot of cattle and sheep, burned a large area of ​​crops, and killed many people. That's why there are so many refugees this year.

However, there are very few refugees in Beizhou, and many people chose to go to other places to beg. Only some people who cannot do without Beizhou, and those prisoners chose to stay in Beizhou.

The Huanfeng Pass sung in the song is a pass between Beiming and Beiming in the northwest of Beizhou. It used to be an important military site, but it has been in disrepair for a long time, and the military department has not done anything, and it has been abandoned.

Even the common people know that as long as Huanfeng Pass is guarded, Beizhou City can be guarded, and if Beizhou is guarded, those people in Beiming will never want to enter Xuanyuan again.

It's a pity that some officials don't know about these things that even ordinary people know. It should be said that it's not that they don't know, but that they don't act!
When Xuanyuan Yuchen returned to the mansion, Tong Xiaowu exchanged a few words with these people and then left.

Back in the main room, Xuanyuan Yuchen was losing his temper, "Who are you, I will kill them sooner or later..."

Seeing this, Tong Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward, "What's the matter? Keep your voice down, although this is not the capital city, but we are newcomers after all, you haven't seen you all afternoon, what happened?"

"I asked the people in the military department to find someone to repair the city wall of Beizhou, but Trull rejected me on the grounds that the soldiers were busy. Am I still a prince of the fief? He might as well be the son of the emperor."

Xuanyuan Yuchen gritted his teeth angrily, "And I got some new news this afternoon, damn it, that Qu Boyi is actually the brother-in-law of Captain Rong Rong, and their first wives are sisters from the Zhao family, no wonder we just entered Beizhou So many things happened, they set up ring after ring for us!"

"Yufeng, if this is the case, the matter makes sense!" Tong Xiaowu stretched out his hand to help him undress, and said.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket!
