I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 254: Current Situation (2)

Editor: Atlas Studios

After all, Qi Haoran was still young and had been neglected by his father since he was young. He did not like to study and only liked to practice martial arts back in Lin’an Prefecture. His greatest wish was to become a general under his brother when he grew up and reclaim his hometown with him.

He was more loyal to his country than the Emperor, unlike what most people thought.

If Qi Xiuyuan heard Mu Yangling’s words, he would definitely reprimand her. If other officials heard this, they would probably arrest her.

Since Qi Haoran was like this, Mu Yangling did not hide anything and told him her opinion. “The weakness of Great Zhou is apparent when compared to West Xia, the Jin Kingdom and Tibet. However, our Great Zhou has abundant resources. With General Yuan, General Yang, and General Zhu guarding the borders, in addition to the fact that there is no peace between the countries, it will be very difficult to destroy Great Zhou from the outside. Therefore, if Great Zhou is to perish, it can only be destroyed from the inside.”

Sighing, she continued, “That’s why I said that the heavens are not giving the Guo family a way out. With the current climate, our Xingyuan Prefecture might not have a smooth sailing next year. There are a few other places that have a situation as abnormal as Xingzhou Prefecture. The harvest is poor, yet the taxes have not decreased. If the Imperial Court still courts death by increasing the taxes now, what do you think will happen to the commoners if they are forced to a dead end?”

Qi Haoran squatted on the ground and pondered. Mu Yangling nimbly flipped the pheasant in her hand. When she felt that it was cooked, she tore a piece and placed it in her mouth. She split the pheasant into two and gave half to Qi Haoran. Leaning against the rock, she ate as she said, “So I feel that if I can earn money now, I should earn more and buy more grains to save up. If the world really falls into chaos, at least I can protect my family and won’t let them starve.”

Qi Haoran had been silently eating the pheasant in his hand. When Fei Bai felt that it was safe, he sneaked back and found a stick to roast the rabbit and pheasant.

After the three of them had their fill, Qi Haoran stood up and clapped his hands. “Let’s go. Fei Bai and I will help you get firewood.”

Mu Yangling asked with a smile, “How did you know that I was going to fetch firewood?”

“When have you not dragged a few bundles of firewood down the mountain these past few days?”

Mu Yangling tilted her head and looked at him. “How did you know?”

“Is there anything I don’t know in my territory?”

Mu Yangling only smiled. After gathering four bundles of firewood, Mu Yangling returned to where she was just now and picked up a few rocks. She placed them in Qi Haoran’s arms and said, “Since there’s nothing you don’t know in your territory, go and find out who the descendant of this rock is. Don’t forget to thank me later.”
