Fu Tian stayed in the village for three days. In addition to eating and sleeping, his daily work was to stay in the warm tent and observe the rice seeds that were sown.

The second day after sowing, a few green buds appeared. Fu Tian compared the booklet of the record and found that these fast-growing ones were soaked in water with more power of the original source.

Fu Tian happily recorded all the changes. On the third day, all the small fields sown had sprouted, and the first batch of sprouts had grown to a height of one or two inches.

It will take another four or five days to plant rice seedlings after a date.

Fu Tian tried to communicate with these young seedlings, but few of them could respond. Most of them just made some vague sounds to express their needs.

All of them were still in a state of mind, and Fu Tian felt relieved.

He speculated that although the power of the origin was strong, these rice seeds did not soak for a long time and grew for a short time. Compared with those naturally grown plants outside, these rice seeds were not so easy to enlighten their minds.

In this way, the only thing he needs to worry about is whether he can withstand the severe cold or hot weather with the power of his original source.

Five days later, all the seedlings grew, and Fu Tian removed the warm tent, allowing someone to cultivate the nearest field, and then planted the seedlings.

The manager thought he was making trouble, but when he thought of the seedlings that had grown in less than ten days, he felt that it might be possible to plant them.

After the seedlings were put into the fields, Fu Tian returned to the Hou Mansion first. It was mid-November and it was almost the end of the year. Although the families did not dare to be too extravagant in the year of disaster, they still had to have the etiquette. Fu Tian had to go back and discuss with Fu Youqin to prepare the New Year ceremony.

In early December, there was heavy snow in Qingyang. News came from the manager of the village that many of the seedlings planted by Fu Tian froze to death after the snow.

Fu Tian rushed outside the city to see that the unfinished white snow was accumulated in the fields. A small part of the green seedlings fell, but most of them were still standing straight, with strong rhizomes and stretched leaves. In just half a month, the tender seedlings had grown up, and most of them had survived the severe cold.

The manager was also amazed. He watched Fu Tian tamper with his own eyes. From the beginning, he felt that he was a fool, but now he has to carefully inspect the fields every day, for fear that there would be any accidents in these seedlings. If anyone except Fu Tian is the most concerned about this field, it is the manager.

"Do I want to put these poured ones on a rack?" The manager looked at the seedlings lying on the ground with distress, but Fu Tian didn't say anything and he didn't dare to act casually.

"Don't worry." Fu Tian shook his head, "This way you can see how much you can survive in the end."

If the rice in this field can survive the cold winter and survive more than half, then these attempts will be successful. Next, you can send the soaked rice seeds to the south to start planting. The rice that can withstand the severe cold in the north will surely grow better in the south. If it goes well, it may be able to harvest once before early rice.

"Okay." Now the manager saw that he was like a god, and he wanted to offer Fu Tian a gift. Although he was very curious about how these rice seeds were planted, looking at Fu Tian's expression, he still silently swallowed his doubts.

After instructing the supervisor to take advantage of the field, Fu Tian got on the carriage and returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Before the carriage reached the door, a man wrapped in a thick cotton coat ran towards him.

The person who came was the eunuch and general manager beside the emperor, looked quite anxious, and stopped him in front of the carriage and asked loudly, "Is it the marquis who is back?"

Fu Tian lifted the curtain of the car, and his right eyelid suddenly jumped, "It's me, is there something wrong in the palace?"

The eunuch in charge looked anxious, "I came from the border and the emperor summoned you into the palace."

Fu Tianxin tightened and asked him to get in the car, "talking while walking."

The general manager got on the carriage, and the coachman turned the front of the carriage and headed towards the imperial city.

The manager probably was really anxious, so he was waiting at the door, his face was so cold that he was blue and white. After getting in the car, he kept rubbing his hands and breathing.

Fu Tian handed him a cup of hot tea and asked, "What's wrong?"

The general manager took the hot tea and thanked him, and said in a low voice: "The border is urgently reported, and the foreign tribe suddenly attacked Beiyu Pass. The guards of Beiyu Pass were seriously injured and endangered. The prince led his army to Beiyu Pass to support him. Zhou Shilang stayed at Shanyu Pass. However, in the morning, he received the eight hundred miles of urgent report from Zhou Shilang. The foreign tribes divided into two groups, attacking the east and west, and a surprise attacker was also hidden. Now both passes are in war, but the spies report back to the King of Yu who went to Shanyu Pass to support him. "

In addition to the previous fierce battle, the border food supply was insufficient, and the foreign tribes were particularly brave in fighting against the water, so they had to ask for help from the capital.

Hearing that Chu Xiangtian was missing, Fu Tian's heart seemed to fall into the cold winter snow in an instant, and the blood in his body was cold. He forced himself to calm down and asked the coachman to speed up. After entering the palace, he almost ran all the way into the imperial study room. The general manager behind him could not keep up with his speed.

Fu Tian ran in panting, and the others in the imperial study turned to look at him one after another. Fu Tian took a breath, tidyed up his clothes, and walked in as calmly as possible, "I'm late."

Chu Fengyuan looked solemn, waved his hand at him, and said to the Minister of Revenue: "You continue to talk about how much food and grass can you free up."

The Minister of Revenue had a pale face. Before Fu Tian came, the emperor had asked him to calculate it several times, but the treasury was empty. Even if he calculated to die, there was no food or food. "Even if the food for disaster relief was counted, the amount of food should not exceed 50,000 stones."

If there is insufficient food for disaster relief in various places, they must be exported from the treasury. In addition, tax exemptions have been reduced and exempted for two consecutive years. The treasury only goes out but does not enter, so there is already very little left.

Chu Fengyuan suppressed his anger, "There is no enough food and grass, and there is still money left. Go and buy it! The border is in danger, and those grain merchants dare to raise prices?!"

The Minister of Revenue trembled his hand and knelt down directly, "Silver, money is not enough. Disaster relief and military pay all require money. The treasury has long been in debt!"

Chu Feng got up angrily, took two steps quickly and turned around and cursed: "The national treasury is empty! Where did the taxes collected a few years ago? Where did the money?!!"

The Minister of Revenue's face turned gray and he lay on the ground and did not dare to speak.

"Where is the Ministry of War?" Chu Xiangtian suddenly turned to the Minister of War, "I can't even provide weapons, right?"

The Minister of War leaned over and said, "The craftsmen have already asked to speed up the construction of weapons and armor, but the border is extremely cold. The weapons we made may not be able to withstand the extreme cold. They may easily break by then. They have sent people to Fengshui to negotiate with the Zhu family and ask the Zhu family to rush to make another batch of weapons."

He hesitated and said: "It's just that the court has always agreed with the Zhu family to only supply a batch of weapons every year..."

As he said that, he saw Chu Fengyuan's face becoming more gloomy and hurriedly said, "But the country is in danger, I believe the head of the Zhu family will not refuse."

Finally, there was a reliable answer. Chu Fengyuan calmed down his anger and looked directly at the Minister of Revenue with his sharp phoenix eyes, "I don't care what method you use, the border food and salary must be delivered on schedule!"

The Minister of Revenue did not even dare to raise his head, and he should be trembling.

After arranging the matter one by one, the Minister of Revenue went back to raise military funds tremblingly. Fu Tian called the Minister of War who was about to leave, "Sir, please stay."

The Minister of War turned around hesitantly, "The Marquis has something to do?"

Fu Tian nodded, "The Zhu family mentioned by Lord Shangshu is the Zhu family in Fengshui County? The head of the family is Zhu Hua?"

"Yes, the Zhu family in Fengshui County has smelted iron for generations, and the weapons produced are extremely hard and sharp. The court has recruited them many times, but they are unwilling to enter the court and are only willing to supply a batch of weapons to the Ministry of War every year." The Minister of War was surprised, "Marty knows the Zhu family?"

Fu Tian thought for a while and said, "I once met the head of the Zhu family. He owed me a favor and gave me a famous post. When I wrote a letter, you might be able to persuade him better."

The Minister of War was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, then waited aside and then followed Fu Tian to go with him to name the name.

Chu Fengyuan was originally worried that Fu Tian would be anxious when he heard about the border, so he specially summoned him into the palace. Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected joy, so he sincerely thanked him.

Fu Tian shook his head, and the panic hesitated when he first heard the news. He clenched his fingers and asked hesitantly: "Haven Prince and the others really lost their whereabouts..."

Chu Fengyuan raised his hand and sighed, "Yes, Zhou Chuanqing stayed at Shanyu Pass and sent spies to inquire from many sources, but they were not found. He just followed the footprints that had not yet been buried and guessed that they should have entered the deep mountains."

Fu Tian tightened his fingers, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll go to the border to find him, I have a way."

Chu Fengyuan frowned, and he rebuked him in a very strong tone, "Nothing! Feng Zhang told him to take good care of you before leaving, and I would never let you take risks!"

"I'm not a fool!" Fu Tian was anxious, his eyes were red but he didn't cry. "If they entered the deep mountains, the mountains were extremely cold and there was little clothing and food, they must find people as soon as possible to reduce casualties. I have a way to find them!"

Chu Fengyuan didn't believe that he could do anything, so he could only try his best to dissuade him. "Zhou Chuanqing has sent people into the mountains to find him. Besides, Feng Zhang has been through the battlefield for a long time and has experienced countless life and death, so he will not have any accidents easily."

"I have a way!" Fu Tian shook his head, clenched his fists tightly to calm himself down, and argued for himself: "I really have a way, not making trouble."

"The military pay is not enough. The Fu family rice shop still has 100,000 stones of grain stored, which is enough to make up for the current shortage of military pay. If it is not enough, I am willing to donate one million taels as military pay!"

"I just want the emperor to send an elite force to send me to the border as fast as possible!"
