Chapter 1782:

Of course, Zhuge Xiangxue can also use the coins in the purse to buy food and other things on the market.

But... that's the only way to treat the symptoms, not the root cause...

Moreover, once the food purchased is too much, it will definitely cause the price of food to skyrocket, hurting the interests of the civilians...then the gain will outweigh the loss.

What made Zhuge Xiangxue particularly depressed was that the grain in the granary was only enough to support the soldiers for a year.

Someone said, isn't this enough? ?

Don't get me wrong, this year's use of soldiers to raise troops refers to the standing army of Jingzhou at this stage. If Zhuge Xiangxue intends to expand his armament, then...the food will not last for a few months...

After all, when you recruit soldiers, you have to be fed. If you can’t get enough to eat, who will serve you as a soldier? ?

However, although the food issue is more urgent... but for Zhuge Xiangxue, it is nothing... She already has a plan in her stomach, and it is nothing more than a delay in recruiting troops for a while.

The food problem can be solved within three years by simply using the army to reclaim the fields in fertile land.

Three years, for Zhuge Xiangxue, is still affordable.

However, what makes Zhuge Xiangxue most depressing is...the standing force of the nine counties in Jingzhou is less than 100,000...

This number of 100,000 is still the value obtained by adding 20,000 blood dragon riders...

This...is a bit of a hole...

Also, many soldiers lack training...

Zhou Ye completely used these soldiers as a military shock...

This makes Zhuge Xiangxue very depressed...

With a snap, she threw the bamboo slips in her hands on the table...getting up and walking towards the back house.

"I have seen Mrs. Xiangxue..."

As soon as she walked into the back house, she ran into Feng Yiwei who was on patrol...

Zhuge Xiangxue's identity is not a secret in the back house, especially Zhou Ye said that although Zhuge Xiangxue was not married to him, she was already his wife, so Feng Yiwei called her Mrs. Xiangxue... …

Zhuge Xiangxue also acquiesced to Feng Yiwei's name... She asked directly, "Where is the lord at this time??"

"In response to Madam Xiangxue's words, the master should be in Madam Zhuge's room at this time..."

"Exactly, I'm going to find him..."

Chapter 2165

The Patriarch's Mansion——the back house...

At this time, the girls were gathered in Sister Zhuge's room, sewing together the shirts for Zhou Ye together with Sister Zhuge.

Speaking of which, female workers are almost a necessary skill for women in this era.

Up to the princes and lords, down to the people of Li.

Every woman must learn to work as a female worker since she was a child... In this way, after she gets married, she will not be rejected by her husband's family.

After all, there is no so-called ready-to-wear shop in this era. Under normal circumstances, the clothes worn by the men from the inside to the outside are all sewn stitch by stitch by these women.

At this moment, Sister Zhuge is sewing clothes for her husband together with a group of sisters.

To be honest, it's actually very unnecessary... After all, Zhou Ye is really good at those clothes. The clothes in his wristband are enough for him to change back and forth for decades without repeating the same thing every day.

You know, the girls in the Marvel world, when they have free time, their favorite thing to do is to sweep the streets, and their greatest pleasure in sweeping the streets is to dress up their own men... All kinds of clothes are enough for him to wear for ten thousand years.

However, although they knew that their husbands had no shortage of clothes to wear, these women were still eager to help their men sew clothes.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of satisfaction...

Seeing their men wearing clothes that they sewed stitch by stitch, their hearts are full of a sense of accomplishment.

The women were busy sewing clothes, and what was Zhou Ye doing? ?

Of course it's --- being a model.

After all, it's clothes sewn for him, how could he not be there? ?

Every now and then, the girls would put the sewn semi-finished products on Zhou Ye to make a gesture to see if they fit.

In this regard, Zhou Ye is in pain and happy...

He really doesn't want to be a model here, but after all, this is the heart of all the women... He can't refuse, so... When Zhou Ye saw Zhuge Xiangxue coming to look for him, his face suddenly leaked. An overjoyed expression... "Xiangxue... What are you looking for me for??"

"My lord... please call me Kong Ming!" Zhuge Xiangxue bowed to Zhou Ye.

"Hehe, sister, don't put on the air of your military adviser in the back house..."

"Yes, Sister Xiangxue, there are no outsiders in the back house, so stop pretending to be a man..."

"...This, well, everything is just as the sisters said!" After hearing the words of the sisters, Zhuge Xiangxue could only helplessly respond...

She really likes Zhou Ye, so it is also extremely important to have a good relationship with the sisters.

If it is too maverick, it is completely self-isolation from the people...

"Lang Jun, I have some military and political affairs. I want to ask you for advice..." Zhuge Xiangxue asked Zhou Ye, "Why don't we find a clean place and have a good chat?"

"It's so good!" Zhou Ye was just about to get rid of the task of being a model for all the girls, when he heard Zhuge Xiangxue's suggestion, he naturally responded immediately. "Why don't you go to my study!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Ye didn't wait for the girls to stop him, grabbed Zhuge Xiangxue's little hand, and walked outside...

"Hey, husband..."

"Lang Jun..."

Seeing that their model was about to run away, the girls suddenly wanted to call him...

However, Zhou Ye was running too fast. Before they could speak, Zhou Ye had already dragged Zhuge Xiangxue and disappeared into the room...

"Now, Lang Jun is gone... How do you sew this clothes!"

"Don't be afraid, just now I have memorized the size of my husband..."

"Hey? Sister Yueying, since you have memorized your husband's size, why do you keep your husband here as a model for our sisters?"

"Haha... It's better to let Lang Jun be a model for us in the house than to let him go out and do nothing to harm other girls..."
