Chapter 277 East Mountain Medicine Valley
Li Lanzhen was so happy holding the title deed in her hand that she couldn't express it in words!
She was extremely grateful that her kindness had saved the two children, Su Chen and Linglong.
I didn’t expect that one was a princess and the other was the princess’ cousin.
But is it a good thing or a bad thing to be associated with the imperial court?
Will it arouse the jealousy and hatred of the princes and ministers who stand against the emperor?
This brings danger to Taohuayuan and his own family!
Alas, everything is a double-edged sword, with two sides!
Silver Fox looked at Li Lanzhen holding the land deed, smiling for a while, frowning and sighing.
He quickly took out two more deeds and showed them to her.
"Aunt, look, the West Hill of Peach Blossom Spring was given to Linglong, and the East Hill was given to Su Chen."
Silver Fox's words broke Li Lanzhen's wild thoughts.
"Ah, the emperor gave East Mountain and West Mountain to the princess and Su Chen?"
"Yes, auntie, this way you don't have to worry about other people. Buy East Mountain and West Mountain, and then plan Peach Blossom Spring."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Li Lanzhen laughed out loud.
"That's great. I was just thinking, if someone with ulterior motives buys West Mountain or East Mountain and puts our Peach Blossom Land in the middle, and we are controlled by them, that would be really infuriating!"
Silver Fox nodded and said, "Yes, after I told the emperor about the terrain of Peach Blossom Spring, the emperor took these issues into consideration.
So I gave East Mountain to Su Chen and West Mountain to the princess."
At this time, Li Lanzhen no longer thought that things would work out when the time came!
Let’s talk about it when things come up.
At worst, I can take my whole family and escape to the depths of the mountains. Anyway, I have vegetable and grain seeds, so there is no need to worry about starving to death!
"Don't worry, Auntie, our Li Dynasty is in the period of reconstruction.
Especially when there is a food shortage, it is a big problem for the people not to have enough to eat.
The imperial treasury is empty, and the emperor and empress are having a hard time in the court."
Li Lanzhen frowned and asked him, "It's that imperial concubine who's causing trouble again, right? She harmed the crown prince, and now she wants to harm the queen?!"
Silver Fox nodded, "Indeed, this time the prince was poisoned to ward off disaster for his mother.
If there is a shortage of food supply next year, not only will the people go hungry, but the soldiers guarding the border will also not have enough to eat.
I’m afraid there will be trouble at the border this winter.”
Li Lanzhen asked, "You mean the soldiers at the border don't have enough to eat right now, and you're worried about an attack from foreign enemies?
Silver Fox, are the generals guarding the border loyal to the emperor? "
Silver Fox nodded and said, "Don't worry about that.
The generals guarding the northwest border and the southwest border are all loyal to the emperor."
"That's good, that's good."
Li Lanzhen was silent for a while, then slapped the table and said.
"Silver Fox, I've decided. Now that the land is still frozen, we should build more greenhouses and grow sweet potatoes and potatoes in them.
When the sweet potatoes and potatoes are ripe, I will give them to you and you can deliver them to the border."
Li Lanzhen knows the principle of "the lips and the teeth are interdependent".
Now the emperor is still a wise ruler, so he made this decision.
Silver Fox stood up, clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Li Lanzhen with a solemn expression, expressing his gratitude.
"Thank you, auntie, you are a righteous person!
I will pass this news to the emperor, he will be very happy when he knows it."
Li Lanzhen said, "You'd better not tell him now. Wait until the sweet potatoes and potatoes are harvested before telling him."
"Aunt, are you worried about being targeted by someone with ulterior motives?"
“Yes, if I hadn’t saved the princess and Su Chen, and if I hadn’t saved you and the prince.
I will not have anything to do with the court.
I am just an old lady in the countryside. I only want to have three meals a day and let my children and grandchildren study hard and take the imperial examinations. If they are not cut out for study, I will start a small business and make some money to support my family.
As an old lady, I just want to spend my remaining years in this beautiful place with mountains and rivers.
It's too troublesome to get involved with the imperial court! I'm afraid of trouble!
Therefore, Silver Fox, you will be in charge of all these matters in the future."
After saying these words, she told Silver Fox seriously.
"Silver Fox, I will only tell you the following once."
"Aunt, you say." Silver Fox looked at Li Lanzhen's unprecedented serious expression and said quickly.
“Silver Fox, you also know that I have that secret place, and I have other abilities that you don’t know about.
So, don’t cause trouble to me, no matter who you are, even the emperor or the empress. Whoever messes with me will mess with my family and the villagers in my paradise.
The worst result is that I will destroy anyone who messes with me!
The best outcome is that I can disappear here with this group of people, or with the people I want to take away, go to another country, or escape into the mountains.
Do you believe I have this ability?"
Silver Fox nodded immediately, "I believe you have the ability! Auntie!
But please rest assured, I will never let this happen.
If one day someone comes to deal with this place, wants to persecute you, and take over the Peach Blossom Land for themselves.
No matter whether that person is the emperor or the empress, I, Silver Fox, will always be with my aunt."
After saying this, his tone softened again.
"Aunt, I want to discuss something with you."
Li Lanzhen looked at his smiling face and said, "Tell me, what is it? As long as I can do it."
“Auntie, I want to train a group of people.
Build a training camp in Taohuayuan near Beishan. "
"Do you want to raise private soldiers here? The court shouldn't allow it, right?"
Silver Fox smiled and said, "It's not allowed, but I reported it to the Queen. I am training secret guards for the Queen."
"Okay, but only the two of us need to know about this.
Or one day we can go out together to East Mountain or West Mountain to take a look and find a more suitable place to set up a base camp.
I think you should not only train secret guards, but also private soldiers.
If there is an emergency, these soldiers can be pulled out for your use."
"Okay, Auntie, let's go and have a look together and find a suitable place."
“Let’s go tomorrow. I’ll take you to Dongshan first. There’s a medicine valley there.
Let you see if there are any medicinal ingredients in there that can be used to make an antidote for the prince.
Is there a suitable place to build a base camp?"
After the two of them agreed on these things, Silver Fox handed over the two land deeds of the princess and Su Chen to Li Lanzhen.
"Aunt, please put these two together. It's not convenient for me to carry them with me."
"Okay, I'll save it for you."
"Aunt, don't tell the villagers about the emperor's gift of Peach Blossom Spring to you for now. Wait until next spring, or when there's a suitable opportunity.
I think the emperor should want to issue an imperial decree. If there is an imperial decree, this matter will be out in the open and no one will dare to covet it!
Li Lanzhen nodded and agreed.
Then she immediately went to find Han Shunde and called them all to the dining room.
"Village Chief, I want to tell you something.
After everyone sat down, they saw Li Lanzhen's serious expression and felt uneasy. What had happened?
"That's right. Silver Fox just brought a message."
Next, Li Lanzhen told Silver Fox that the soldiers at the border were short of food and that once winter came, they were afraid that the enemy would invade the border.
Her words aroused everyone's anger.
Han Shunde said, "Farming!"
