After visiting, Xiaoxiao did not forget to suggest: "Mom, please go back and erase the records of today's duty. The soldiers' armors cover their faces, and without the records, even if the prince wants to settle the score, he will not be able to find anyone."

Xiao Ran tapped her little nose: "You are the only smart one."

Xiaoxiao chuckled: "I can't let others protect me and still suffer disaster."

Xiao Ran also had this intention, so when her daughter reminded her, she continued to give the instructions.

Regarding the crops to be planted at the border in the future, Xiaoxiao said to Gu Changan: "Dad, I think it's better to plant watermelons, grapes and those trees first."

"These are plants that can originally grow in sandy soil. As long as the season is right, they can be planted in large quantities by slightly changing the soil. However, the other plants require too much manpower and energy. If you want to increase the scale now, it will not cost much. It’s less than what you buy from the capital.”

"It is better to plant a large number of melons and fruits first and develop them into border towns. They have a short growth cycle, a high survival rate and a large harvest. In the future, whether they are sold to the border at a high price or attract merchants, they will be beneficial to the border towns... …”

Gu Changan looked at his daughter who was talking freely, feeling really happy and distressed at the same time. He had to go through so much to grow up to this point.

"You haven't had breakfast yet? Dad made you a burrito with your favorite hot and sour sauce."

Xiaoxiao cheered, took the pancake and took a delicious bite. Only then did she realize that her father had brought quite a lot: "Is it possible that my parents haven't eaten yet?"

The two nodded, and Xiaoxiao was busy moving the simple tables and chairs under the grape vines: "Let's do it together!"

"Mom and Dad, let's set up a grape trellis like this at home in the future. We can provide shade from the sun and coolness in the summer, enjoy the flowers and moon in the autumn, block the wind and snow in the winter, and have grass growing and orioles flying in the spring. It's so beautiful."

Xiao Ran imagined the scene and was quite pleased with it: "Where did you find these seeds? My mother has never heard of watermelons and grapes."

Xiaoxiao chuckled: "I just bought it here and there. Some were bought by me when I was wandering around and wandering merchants. Some were collected by my eldest brother and my second brother who happened to see them. Some of them were left by brother Ayan for me after seeing them. There were also County Magistrate Shen, Shen Tianci and Li Muyan helped me find them from all over the world, and there are all kinds of them, oh, by the way, some of them were picked and dug from Dayan Mountain!"

"Maybe I have a connection with the earth. I planted randomly and found a lot of good things!"

Thinking of the chaotic and orderly variety of flowers, plants, and even ginseng in the Ning family yard, the couple laughed: "Then when my parents see it, they will collect more for you."

But when she said this, Xiao Ran scratched her head in embarrassment. She knew her own warehouse well, so she could only buy those gadgets for her daughter. But when she said this, she remembered something: "Xiaoxiao, What did you mean when you wrote a letter not long ago asking me to sell you the Yan family’s method of making dehydrated vegetables?”

Although her financial resources are limited, she is not willing to sell her daughter's secret recipe for money, especially not to give face to the Yan family.

Xiaoxiao smiled even louder: "Mom and dad, tell me, if the Yan family is happily hiding and preparing to show off their talents, but the prescription suddenly becomes worthless, will they be furious?"

"Although dehydrated vegetables are easy to store, there is still a certain gap in taste compared to fresh vegetables. Rich families who want to try new things will no longer be interested after eating them a few times. Ordinary families are simply not willing to spend that wasted money, so they dehydrate The main targets for selling vegetables are places that lack water and are dry and do not produce vegetables.”

"In a place like this, one is a border gate, and the rest is a vicious place."

"Bian Guan doesn't have much desire for that stuff now. Isn't fresh fruit more fragrant than dried vegetables? If they want to make money, the Yan family can only do business with Jihu."

Can the business with Jihu contaminate the family?

Especially... if the emperor discovers that the Yan family and Jihu have some unusual connections in the future, how can he let it go?

After Xiaoxiao and her parents chatted for about an hour, a guard looked strange and came to Xiao Ran to report. After hearing what he said, Xiao Ran also frowned.

"The prince killed the aide, saying he was trying to confuse right and wrong and stir up trouble." What she didn't say was that the aide's head was sent over by the prince as a sign of sincerity.

The prince has good methods and cruel methods.

He is really good at finding someone to blame for this matter, and he has a good knowledge of the Yan family. Even if your Majesty knows about today's incident, he can still evade it without any evidence.

"Xiaoxiao, stay away from that prince from now on."

Xiaoxiao nodded fiercely: "That's what I have in mind. I will find an excuse to go back to the house later, but before that, I have something to give to mother."

She took the two of them back to her residence and took out the debugged "clairvoyance" and the production drawings from the closet.

The drawings were rough and crude, but she believed Xiao Ran could solve this small flaw.

Both of them couldn't put it down after trying the items. While they were once again impressed by their daughter's intelligence, she did not doubt Xiaoxiao's explanation of "bought an ancient book by accident" and offered to tell anyone who asked about it in the future that she gave it to her.

"After all, your mother has traveled all over the country for so many years, and she has collected a lot of strange things."

Xiaoxiao's words may be questioned, but as a general, it is not surprising that Xiao Ran is destined to get this thing. Besides, it doesn't matter if someone dares to comment, she just goes over with her spear and gets it done.

Xiao Ran only had a short rest in the border town, and was about to set out again in the afternoon to deliver food and reinforcements to Rong Yan and the others who were deep in Jihu. Xiaoxiao asked her quietly: "Is the court planning to completely defeat Jihu this time?"

Xiao Ran tapped her nose: "You don't have to worry about these things, just take care of yourself. Wait for me to go and work with your brother Ayan to defeat those bastards who dare to covet Daxia."

Gu Changan looked at her sideways: "Didn't you say this is confidential and cannot be disclosed?"

Xiao Ran shrugged: "I didn't say anything." At least she didn't admit it directly. Her daughter could guess it because she was smart.

What she didn't tell Xiaoxiao was that today's imperial court is mostly composed of mediocre people, not only cowardly, but also come up with bad ideas, such as "Don't chase poor enemies", "Turn hostility into friendship", and "Peace is the most precious thing", ah! When she heard someone suggesting a marriage, she almost couldn't help but beat him up in front of the emperor.

That group of old immortals didn't dare to make up their minds to take action against Ji Hu.

One moment he said that Jihu produced iron ore and had abundant weapons. Another moment he said that Jihu's terrain was dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The next moment he said that this battle had exhausted the treasury's money and food. If another war broke out, wouldn't it damage the foundation of the country? , the gain outweighs the loss!

They thought it was enough to let the evil beast retreat and be honest for a period of time, but they didn't think about it. What's the difference between Daxia's damned peace-valuing in the eyes of others and weakness and incompetence?

Ji Hu provokes every year, and Da Xia gives in every year. Then they will become soft persimmons, allowing others to round them up and flatten them? It is true that we have driven back the evil beasts this time, but who can guarantee whether they will come again next year? Next time, who can guarantee that Daxia will be able to hold on?
