Tana was also very surprised and quickly turned her head to look at Zong Bai.

Fang Jinshu's mouth twitched. Zong Bai, this silly boy, wouldn't have confessed his feelings yet, would he

The first confession was to her, which isn't a good idea at all.

"Young Master Zong, Young Master Zong Er, please be careful with your words."

Tana's expression was panicked, her fingers clutching at her sleeve tightly.

Before Fang Jinshu could even speak, Zong Bai shifted his gaze and turned to face Tanna with a serious expression.

"From the moment I heard that the late emperor was going to bestow you upon Fu Yunxuan, I thought to myself, even for the sake of national righteousness, your happiness should not be sacrificed. You may be a princess, but you have never once considered staying out of it."

"For the people of Beijiang, you have done so much. Not a single coin earned from your travels have you spent on yourself."

Even if you marry into the Daxixi royal family and receive their assistance, these aids are only temporary for Beijang. They merely treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause.

To feed its people and change the current situation, the Northern Border needs reform and effective policies.

"Not at the expense of you."

Zong Bai's words were so well-spoken that not only Tana was stunned, but even Fang Jinshu felt it made sense.

She had always thought that Tanna's insistence on marrying into the Daehee royal family, trading her lifelong happiness for material possessions, was unwise.

But she didn't have much standing to comment on other people's national affairs, and besides, she had better ways to help her.

But hearing Zong Bo say it this way, he suddenly felt enlightened.

"That's right, what use is it to sacrifice you for some money and material possessions Once you marry into the royal family, you'll be Daxii's daughter-in-law."

"Once you enter the palace, it's like plunging into a vast ocean. By then, if anything happens in the Northern Frontier, you won't even hear about it, let alone do anything for the people."

Moreover, the imperial court is currently completely broke.

Fang Jinshi inadvertently blurted out what was on her mind. Tana, upon hearing this, was struck dumb with shock.

"What The Great Xi nation is so vast and its resources are abundant, how could it possibly be out of money."

In order to prevent his beloved from hitting a wall, Zong Bai had no choice but to tell her the truth.

Yuan Xiang escaped from the prison, before he fled he used his position and the power of the prime minister to embezzle a large sum of money from Daxixi.

Even the common people of the capital were ruthlessly skinned by him.

"Daxi and Wumeng had only just been at peace for half a year, the national treasury hadn't recovered yet, now..."

He didn't want to say any more.

The war with Xixia is about to begin again, and even if the new emperor wanted to help Beijng Frontier, he has nothing to offer.

Tana's hope was utterly shattered. She slumped into a chair, her mind reeling.

"How could this be What will become of my people in Beijiang"

Fang Jinxiu looked at Zong Bai's profile, seeing his gaze fixed on Tanya. She felt both heartache and forbearance.

It's her own younger brother, raised by her with her own hands, even though he was adopted halfway through. She couldn't bear to see Zongbai suffer.

The northern border is simply impoverished and lacking food. The root cause is the harsh geographical environment. If the people could cultivate enough food to be self-sufficient, there would be no situation where they starve due to lack of food.

Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea, a solution that would benefit both parties.

"Perhaps I can solve the problems of the northern border."

Both of them turned their heads quickly to look at him, a glimmer of expectation in Tanna's eyes.

This girl truly believes her, she doesn't doubt anything she says.

"Jinxiu sister, can you really help me save Beijiang"

Fang Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Zong Bai again.

"There's a way, but I'm about to set off for Xixia and my return date is uncertain. So I'll leave the solution here and ask Zongbai to help you implement it."

Tana's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Zongbei with hopeful eyes.

This was the first time Zong Bai had been stared at so intensely by his crush, and he blushed instantly before hurriedly nodding.

"Sister-in-law, whatever method you have, just tell me. I, I will definitely carry out your orders strictly."

"The method is simple, the seeds in our family are tenacious and can grow in any soil. They aren't too fussy about crops, so even in the northern borderlands, it shouldn't be a problem."

After so many years of cultivation, all the seeds produced by Fang Jinshu's Jinshu Mountain Villa have undergone several rounds of improvement and upgrading.

The influence of the spring water has been deeply ingrained, now all kinds of crops in Jinxiu Mountain Villa, even if they are not planted and irrigated with spiritual spring water, are much better quality than ordinary crops.

Not only is its survival rate high, but its average yield is also much higher than that of ordinary grain varieties.

Providing for the basic needs of the northern regions is a suitable solution.

"Zong Bai grew up in a mountain village since he was young, and he also understands planting. If he could go to Beijang to teach planting, he would definitely be able to improve the grain production income of Beijang."

"Tana's eyes lit up with excitement when she heard it, and her expression was very animated."

"Didn't you just say that I had to enter the palace to ensure the safety of Mother and Yulian"

"How can I go to Beijng"

Fang Jinshu's brow furrowed slightly. Yes, if Zong Bai hadn't entered the palace, Fu Shangyuan wouldn't have felt at ease letting both of them leave.

They might even think they abandoned their wives and fled directly.

If Ke Zongbo hadn't gone to the Northern Frontier, waiting until they finished dealing with the war in Xixia before returning to help plant crops there, I fear the people of the Northern Frontier would have starved to death long ago.

The issues in the Northern Frontier are also urgent.

"What can be done about this"

At that moment, Xiaoyue suddenly spoke.

"My Lady, isn't Hibiscus known for her disguise skills Last time you disguised yourself as Zhao the Guard, even the Marquis didn't notice."

Fāng Jǐnxiù nodded. "That's a good idea, but there isn't a suitable candidate."

"After all, staying in the palace won't be a short time. If we find someone unfamiliar with Zong Bai to impersonate him, what if he reveals a flaw and gets discovered Then my mother and Yulian would be in danger."

Yes, this method is feasible, but it's too risky.

Tana's eyes lit up and dimmed, she could only lower her head in silence.

Perhaps this is the calamity of their northern border.

"Nevermind, Jinxiu sister, thank you for trying to help me."

Perhaps this is the fate of our Beijiang. I will go to court again tomorrow to meet with His Majesty. If he truly cannot help us Beijiang anymore, I will return home with the delegation.

"You're right, relying on others can only provide temporary help. The fundamental problem still needs to be solved by ourselves."

“Perhaps my role would be greater if I stayed in the Northern Border.”

At this point, Tanna suddenly paused. She seemed about to turn to Zongbei and say something, but abruptly stopped herself.

"I apologize for the intrusion today, Sister Jinxiu, Master Zong'er. Please take care."

"Farewell."

Tana turned and left. Zongbai's eyes followed her retreating figure, but his body remained rooted to the spot, unable to move forward because he couldn't find a reason to chase after her.

He couldn't abandon his mother and sister to danger and go back to the Northern Border with her. What could he do even if he chased after herrished by the spring, the fish meat will only taste better.Zong Yu nodded and went back down to catch the fish without saying a word. The pond wasn't very big, and he had almost caught all the fish in...
