Chapter 498 Natural Disasters and War-torn World 46
Zhao Weiqing’s rebellion relieved a lot of pressure on Yunyang Mansion. As long as Ling Xue rebelled without knowing it, the court would treat her as if she didn’t exist.
Because there are too many places of rebellion in the whole country now, the court is in chaos, and it is too late to suppress the rebels. How can there be energy to deal with such trivial matters as Yunyang Mansion.
In fact, after Cui Hu escaped, he reported to the court that the young master of the Shen family occupied Yunyang Mansion, and the court did not ignore it. It's just that the Yunyang Mansion's matter is really not a big deal among the rebellious forces. The officials thought that Yunyang Mansion was just fighting for power and profit, so they postponed the matter.
Yunyang Mansion also has a guard army, but the general of the guard army is a veteran general who is over sixty years old. He is a very Buddhist man. As long as Ling Xue does not openly rebel, he will not care about it.
He is just a guard, what does the government affairs have to do with him?
Looking at his Buddhist appearance, Ling Xue felt that even if he raised an army to rebel, he probably wouldn't care about it. His life was coming to an end and he was childless, so he no longer wanted to fight for power.
Besides, to whom does the power and benefit he earns go to?
If Ling Xue was not lucky, it would be much easier to have such a garrison commander than anywhere else.
The old man was idle all day long and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the military camp. Sometimes he even wandered around the countryside.
He also knew that Ling Xue arranged for people to open up wasteland to plant new varieties of food, and even met Ling Xue several times just to inquire about the situation of this kind of food.
As for new varieties of grains, no one understands them. Only Mr. Shen understands them.
"You said you have a high degree of confidence in the high yield of this kind of grain?"
Ling Xue looked at the old man's age and patiently explained to him: "Of course, I have personally verified it. Let me tell you, I am just because This kind of food prevents people from starving to death."
Ling Xue told the old general how she was abandoned when she was sick and almost starved to death. The wording is fascinating and full of emotion. It makes you cry when you smell sad!
The old general listened very carefully and did not interrupt Ling Xue's explanation with any questions. Ling Xue felt that the old general probably took Ling Xue's personal experience as his words.
After Ling Xue finished speaking, the old general asked Ling Xue: "How did I hear that you were very prestigious in your hometown at that time? There is probably no one in your place who doesn't know about Young Master Shen, right?" Ling Xue said this
. It was a bit embarrassing. She had a very good reputation at that time, but everyone was talking about how pitiful she was, but not about the merits of Young Master Shen.
"Hey, don't mention it. That was the most depressed time in my life. I'm in tears just talking about it!" The
old general curled his lips and glared at Ling Xue again: "I don't really believe it. Look at how much you look like now. Awesome, how can you be so miserable?"
Ling Xue was very satisfied with the newly grown one-foot-long sweet potato vine. She pulled the sweet potato vine with her hand and stood up with satisfaction.
"I know you don't believe it. If I hadn't dug into my uncle and aunt's private vault, why would I not be here?" After saying this, she
realized that she had been exposed, and immediately said to the old general: "You can You have to keep it a secret, otherwise it will be too shameless to tell it!"
The old general sneered: "Tsk, who has time to gossip about your family's nonsense? I'm not idle!"
Seeing that the old general didn't look like that Ling Xue is relieved for those who talk too much.
But they don't know that many people are unrecognizable. The old general is now at the age of gossip. Ling Xue won't talk about it here. He can still go to other people to inquire.
