Chapter 358 Ye Peng guessed that Xiao Jingxuan was his savior
Ye Tang went to the Da Si Nong Temple again and taught the cotton planting techniques to the agricultural officials in the capital. These agricultural officials then taught it to agricultural officials and people in various places.
Xiao Jingxuan directly gave Emperor Yuanwu a ton of cotton seeds.
Emperor Yuanwu was so frightened that he gasped: "Have you searched all the mountains in the Yuan Dynasty? You actually found so many seeds."
Xiao Jingxuan said: "These seeds are easy to find, but we didn't know them before and thought they were useless. Fortunately, I have my princess, otherwise we would have missed such a great treasure."
"Uncle, you must reward my princess well!"
"Alright! Alright! I get it. Stop showing off your princess in front of me!"
Cotton is suitable for planting around April. Ye Tang passed on the planting method and in April officially led the agricultural officials to plant cotton.
Once people have something to do, time will pass quickly. When Ye Tang had some free time, Xiao Yunting was learning to walk.
The weather in October was getting colder. Xiao Yunting stood up with the help of the wall. After taking two steps, he fell to the ground. However, he refused to give up and did not cry out in pain. He got up and continued to walk with the help of the wall, and refused to let anyone help him.
Xiao Jingxuan gave a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being the son of my King Pingshan."
He was just about to have some fun with his son when the housekeeper Luo Shun came over and was hungry.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Xiong from the palace is here and said that the Emperor wants you to come to the palace immediately."
Xiao Jingxuan hurried into the palace and came back in less than an hour, crying and hugging Ye Tang.
"My beloved, the Emperor knows that I am a miracle doctor! Woohoo!"
"If you know, you will know!"
"The Emperor said that the plague in Fusang has spread to the border, and many soldiers have been infected with the plague. He asked me to go to the border. Wow! I have to leave you and your son again!!!"
"Damn Fuso, you've done so much harm to me!"
"That's right. It not only harmed the Yuan Dynasty, but also the Northern Wing. A plague broke out in the Northern Wing. The drought hasn't passed yet, and another plague has come. The Northern Wing Emperor hates Fuso, his ally!"
Xiao Jingxuan really didn't want to go to the border and was reluctant to leave his wife and children, but the border needed him and he couldn't let the soldiers die in the plague.
Xiao Jingxuan hugged Ye Tang and said in a muffled voice: "I have never seen that plague, I don't know if it can be solved, but I will definitely go, my wife, I am actually quite scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Tang asked.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”
"Bah! Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Tang thought for a moment and said, "How about I go with you? I have space and can take out as many herbs as you want."
Jamel Xiao shook his head: “No, you can’t go, you have to stay with your son. I was just talking nonsense. I am a miracle doctor. It’s just a plague. It can’t bother me. Wait for my good news!”
Ye Tang was worried about Jamel Xiao, but he was even more worried about his son.
When he arrived at the city gate, Xiao Jingxuan saw Ye Peng, followed by three thousand Fire Cloud Army soldiers.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Ye Peng glanced at him and said, "I am escorting you to the border by order of the Emperor."
Jamel Xiao walked over quickly: "No, you can't go, you..."
Ye Peng said angrily: "The soldiers at the border are in trouble. As a fourth-rank general of the Yuan Dynasty, how can I not go to help?"
He turned around and looked at the three thousand Fire Cloud Army: "The Protectorate Palace never produces cowards!"
Xiao Jingxuan stopped talking, he understood why Emperor Yuanwu made such arrangements.
Ye Peng came from the common people and had no military merits. He took over the Huoyun Army as the son of the Duke of Protectorate.
Although Ye Peng and the Huoyun Army had made considerable contributions in the affairs of the Gao and Qi families, compared with the soldiers fighting the enemy on the battlefield, that little bit of merit was nothing. If he wanted to continue to move up, he had to make great contributions. Otherwise, it would be difficult to establish his prestige in the army and convince others.
"I understand, Dad. I will protect you." Xiao Jingxuan smiled and climbed onto the horse.
Ye Peng rolled his eyes at him: "I should be the one to say this."
The team headed towards the border.
When they were camping outdoors at night, Ye Peng took Xiao Jingxuan to drink a little wine.
"Xiao Jingxuan, to be honest, I really didn't like you before. I was not satisfied with you as a son-in-law at all. I felt that you could not bring happiness to Tang'er." Ye Peng looked up at the starry sky and said, "But now I don't think so. You look sloppy and unruly all day long, but you are still very reliable at critical moments."
"You and Tang'er are a perfect match! I am very satisfied with you as my son-in-law!" Ye Peng said, patting his shoulder: "Xiao Jingxuan, I already know that it was you who saved me that night."
Jamel Xiao was stunned: “Dad, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Ye Peng tapped his forehead: "We are all family, why are you still playing dumb, Dr. Xiao!"
Jamel Xiao grinned: “When did Dad guess it?”
Ye Peng said: "When you saved Yonglu. I never thought that person would be you, after all, you are so lazy, but after getting to know you gradually, I found that you have many secrets. You know medicine, poison, martial arts, and you are smart. You have shown so many abilities, it is hard for me not to guess you."
"My dear son-in-law, this is our destiny. We should be good father-in-law and son-in-law for life!"
"Dad, you will be my dad forever."
The two of them burst into laughter and held their hands together.
In mid-October, Bai Xiaolou delivered the news about Han Dalang to Ye Tang.
"Han Dalang went to Haicheng and met the Lord of Haicheng?" Ye Tang frowned.
Haicheng is the most special capital city in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the only way to Penglai State. Its city lord is from the Wen family, a century-old family. The Wen family has a profound heritage, and all the city lords of Haicheng have come from the Wen family.
All the seafood in the capital city was transported here by City Lord Wen.
In addition, Haicheng has no county magistrate or prefect, only the city lord's mansion and the city defense army.
At the same time, in the imperial study, Emperor Yuanwu also received news from the secret guards.
"Has Wen Yunshao joined forces with the Han tribe?" Emperor Yuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Only he knew that the Wen family nominally belonged to the Yuan Dynasty, but was actually under the jurisdiction of the Penglai Kingdom. At the beginning of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Wen family wanted to surrender and incorporate Haicheng into the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, but the Wen family did not fight or compete with the Yuan Dynasty, and took the initiative to seek peace with the Yuan Dynasty. They also informed them that the Wen family was a minister of the Yuan Dynasty and reached an agreement for the Wen family to guard Haicheng for generations.
The Yuan Dynasty was not allowed to place local officials in Haicheng. Haicheng would pay 80% of taxes to the Yuan Dynasty and would not prevent any Yuan Dynasty citizens from going to Haicheng.
If the Yuan Dynasty insisted on driving the Wen family out of Haicheng, Penglai Kingdom would go to war with the Yuan Dynasty.
Emperor Yuanwu knew how powerful Penglai was. The Yuan Dynasty at that time did not have the strength to fight against Penglai. Fortunately, the Wen family was honest enough and had no intention of harming the Yuan Dynasty, so Emperor Yuanwu agreed to the agreement.
Later, after his observation, he found that the Wen family had always been law-abiding, did not fight or compete, did not collude with officials, and did not have any dealings with Beiyi, Fuso, and Xuanyue. The taxes they paid every year were also very large. Only then did Emperor Yuanwu feel relieved.
But now, Emperor Yuanwu had to re-examine Haicheng.
