Chapter 868: Discovering the Problem

almost time, within three days at most."Emperor Chengde nodded, "I discussed this with your mother. We've decided to execute Tang Chen."Fu Jiujiu was very surprised, because Tang Chen Ce even concerne...Xi Xi told Fu Jiu Jiu about Tang Xian's situation and also brought Tang Xian's letter. The writing was small and not much, but every sentence was full of affection. Fu Jiu Jiu felt that this was the charm of ancient texts, no matter which girl saw it, she couldn't resist.

Tang Xian was only a few days' journey from Bian Guan. He would probably be very busy when he got there, and he worried that he wouldn't have time to write to Fu Jiujiu. He was also afraid that she would worry, so he had Xi Xi send her a message in advance.

"And what about Haha" Fu Jiujiu asked, "Why are you the only one back"

If it were a person, they'd definitely roll their eyes and say, "It's going to send another letter."

Fujujiu laughed, "So that's how it is."

"I'm telling you, you need to give me more pay or I quit."

Where is the silly bird

This back and forth flying, its wings are about to break.

Fuju immediately brought out the spring water and pine nuts, as well as the big cherries from the spatial pouch, for Hixixi to taste.

That's not a protest at all.

"You tell me, how are things there now Are there any problems"

"Is this something a bird should know"

"You're not an ordinary bird, you're a bird who drank from the spring of wisdom, very intelligent."

"Don't try to sweet-talk me. Is that how you talk to my parents" Hixi, having drunk the spring water, was a bird of the second generation with an IQ far higher than any ordinary bird.

Fujujio wants to say, can this bird still be wanted

"Come on, tell me quickly." Fu Chi Chi anxiously asked, worried that Tang Xian wouldn't share the bad news.

"Right now I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. If I had to say there was a problem, it's that I didn't see any supplies being transported further down the road."

"With this weather, I was thinking about having a good meal. But in the end, there was nothing. It made me fly into a house and fight with chickens and ducks for scraps." Hixi giggled complainingly.

"Grain" Fu Jiujiu's face darkened.

She knew the army's departure was sudden, so she hadn't prepared enough grain. The grain in Beijing had already been taken by them, and the grain collected from other places afterwards would be sent there together.

If there is none, then it's not right.

"Chirp chirp, what's wrong" Xi Xi saw that Fu Chirp was not looking well. "I was just kidding with you! I'm willing to follow you guys. My parents also told us to be good and follow you."

Fuju touched XiXi's head, startling the little one. "Don't worry, you're tired, let's rest for a bit before we go"

"No, no, Tang Xian must still be waiting for me. I'd better fly back quickly."

Fu Jiujiao let go of her hand, giggled, and flew away, taking the letter she had written for Tang Xian.

As for the grain supplies, Fu Jiujiu did keep it in mind. Maybe it's still too early. She would ask Hahahaha when he comes back.

However, just in case, she decided to do something herself.

Fu SiJin didn't have a way back because he was preparing to expand overseas.

MENG Yan and her son followed everyone back home.

He didn't leave, which is a good thing for Fu Jiujiu, isn't it

"Fourth Brother, I need your help." Fu Jiujiu pushed open his door. Because she was in a hurry, she didn't even knock.

Fu Si Jin was a meticulous person. His younger sister was very polite and always knocked before entering. He hurriedly stood up, "What is it"

"Fourth Brother, I need food, a large amount of food, the more the better."

Fu Jiujiu thought that if she bought too much, she could still sell it, but if the army didn't have food, then things would be terrible.

"What happened" Fu Si Jin asked, stockpiling grain was usually due to either natural disasters or human-made ones. Since it was just the beginning of spring, a natural disaster wasn't likely, so it must have been a human-made one.

"Is there a problem with Tang Qi" Fu Sijin reacted keenly.

Fu Jiujiu didn't hide anything from him and directly told him about Xi Xi's situation, but she didn't say it was Xi Xi. She just said it was news brought back by Tang Xian's guard.

"Hiss... This... is indeed unusual. Didn't General Gao and Third Brother have much grain there either"

"I don't know about that yet, but I'm worried something might go wrong." Fu Chu Chu looked grave.

"I understand, but time is of the essence. I leave for overseas in three days. In three days, I don't know how much we can collect, and besides, where do we put it How do we send it to them"

Fu Jiujiu took a deep breath, "Fourth Brother, you have your people buy it first and try to send it to the branches near the capital city. They really need it, I'll find a way to deliver it there, and I'll figure something out here too."

Fu Sijin laughed, "Who are you going to try to get help from"

She has space, and it's quick to store food in the space. However, she decided to plant some sweet potatoes because they can be harvested and eaten directly after planting. Rice or wheat requires threshing and other processes which are more troublesome.

"Alright, time is of the essence, I'm off."

Fu JiuJiu nodded. "Fourth Brother, remember, don't make a fuss. I don't want others to know."

"Understood, don't worry."

Fu Jiujiu also wrote a letter to Zhong Lingyu and sent it with a trustworthy bird. Zhong Lingyu was no stranger to this way of communication.

The Northern Territory is closer to the two border passes than the capital city, so its support would arrive faster. And it's not just the Northern Territory, but also the Northern Desert.

Fu Jiujiu isn't just thinking about Tang Xian, she doesn't care about her brother either.

Fu Sijin, by imperial order, went to open up overseas markets.

This was Tang Xian's suggestion to Emperor Chengde, because he had sent people overseas for a trip and found that the world outside was vast and contained things that Li Chao didn't have.

Of course, Li Chao's silk and porcelain, as well as some handicrafts, were also things they had never seen before, and they were very interested.

Fu Si Jin's trip this time is to establish trade relations.

Fu Jiujiu was preparing things for Fu Sijin to use on the road. For safety, Lin Zhen and the experts from Tingfeng Building would go with them.

Three days later, Fu Sijin set off with a merchant ship. However, their destination was the nearest and largest ferry port to the capital, which was still a hundred miles away. They had to ride horses there first and then board the ship.

Then the Fu family sent him to the city gate.

Fu Sijin stroked Fu Jiujiu's head, "Don't worry, I've already given the orders, and they will definitely handle your affairs."

"Fu Jiujiu pouted, "I was worried about you, too."

Fu Sijin patted Fu Jiujiu's prepared pack, "This is still your life-saving supplies. I'll be fine. However, this journey will take a long time. Take good care of father and mother, and yourself, and please also look after my fourth sister-in-law."

"Understood." Fu Jiujiu helped him straighten his clothes. "Be careful, you don't have to make money, and you don't have to do business. The most important thing is that you come back safely."

"Don't worry!" Fu Sijin knew that there were a lot of people from Tang Xian this time, so he didn't have much to worry about.

If I have to worry, it's about my older brother and the family.

But there are still little girls here.

Fu Baiman looked at his son riding on the tall horse, looking spirited and dashing. He thought to himself that life was already good; it was better than he had ever dared to imagine. He couldn't bear to see his sons go out and struggle.

But he also knew that this was the children’s business.

"Let's go back, it's windy outside." Fu Baiman patted Tian Guihua's shoulder.
