I am engaged in construction in Datang

At this time, just the rough house is enough to be used as a classroom.

Wall paint is difficult to apply, but lime is easy to find and can make the eyes bright with just a brush.

"Master, there are 23 sows, and two of them are not pregnant." Feng Sanxi pushed the door open and said, "I pressed their backs, and two of them didn't respond. One of them is number 3."

Number 3 was very picky, and all the boars wanted to go to him.

"Show it all the boars and let it choose." Li Yin stood up to get a pen and paper. She planned to write a manual for barefoot doctors: "Beauty has privileges."

"Did my brother send someone to get the soap and alcohol from the workshop?"

"After the conversation that day, someone came to take it overnight." Feng Sanxi now realized that the brother recognized by the owner of the manor was not ordinary! Then he worried about Zhao Erniu for 3 seconds.

"Don't stop production, and give away batches as soon as they come out." Li Yin was writing a manual when she thought of something else: "Uncle Sanxi, spread the word that the farm will buy black beans, soybeans, oats, and hay, as long as the horses like to eat it."

In May of this year (April in the lunar calendar in the Book of Tang, I wrote the date according to the solar calendar), Li Daozon defeated Murong Fuyun in Kushan, but did not capture him. Instead, he let him escape and burned the weeds.

This led to a shortage of fodder for the horses in Li Jing's army. They should have rested and reorganized, but after discussion, several generals decided to press on and pursue the victory. They marched 2,000 miles through a barren land, with the men eating ice and the horses eating snow, and finally they reached Baihai.

How many people will die!

It takes twenty years to raise a person! And these are all elite soldiers and generals!

Li Yin put the half-written manual aside, took out a new piece of paper, and wrote:

At that time, the area south of Longyou had recovered, and the sky was smooth, with mountains and stars. Looking at the Jishi Mountain and the source of the Yellow River, frost fell in midsummer, and there was no trace of grass or trees for thousands of miles...

It's just a lot of nonsense.

Li Yin quickly drew two lines and wrote on the paper again:

Brother, in this battle with Tuyuhun, Murong Fuyun was defeated and fled. He must be furious and burn the grass on the grassland...

Well, this is pleasing to the eye.

Li Yin put the paper into the envelope and sealed it with wax: "Uncle Sanxi, give the letter to Zhao Zhonglang who is guarding outside the village, and ask him to give it to my brother quickly."

Feng Sanxi didn't dare to delay and ran away with the letter in his arms.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin opened the envelope, read it once, and summoned Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Xiao Yu to discuss politics. (Changsun Wuji was still in mourning)

"My dears, please take a look."

The letter paper fell into the hands of the three people.

"Impossible!" Xiao Yu's face was full of absurdity: "The battle hasn't even started yet, how could she know that Murong Fuyun would retreat and burn the grassland? And how could she know that the Duke of Weiguo would pursue the victory under such adverse conditions?"

"She is really just an unmarried young lady who only knows how to speak women's language."

This is not the first year that we have fought against Tuyuhun. We also fought against them last year, but we just pushed them back. After all, even if we took over that land, the Tang Dynasty was unable to defend it.

"Duke Song, you and I both know the character of Master Li, but I think he is trustworthy." Fang Xuanling drank tea and continued to read the letter, complaining: "Why didn't you finish the article? What kind of crude words are written at the end!"

"Your Majesty, is there really anyone who can analyze to this extent?" Wei Zheng felt that his cognition had been overturned. The letter also said that Murong Shun killed King Tianzhu after Murong Fuyun was defeated, and then surrendered the entire country to the Tang Dynasty. Murong Fuyun fled in fear.

Li Shimin shook his head. He didn't believe it at first, but since it was his sister who said these things, he wanted to believe it.

But... the people and horses were not well fed, so the generals he sent out wouldn't really have chased for two thousand miles, right?

If it were in the past, he would definitely be happy to defeat Tuyuhun completely, but now, he cares more about people.

How long does it take to raise a person?

My sister said that only with talents and productivity can we develop rapidly.

If we really march under those conditions, how many soldiers will die...

"Whether it's true or not, I will never let my soldiers march in hunger and cold!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The three of them bowed.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Do you have any good ideas to replenish the supplies for the soldiers on the front line?"

Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. The treasury was empty and the Ministry of Revenue complained every day.

Obviously Li Shimin did not expect these few people to give an answer.

"My sister-in-law made many wonderful things and asked me to send them to the front line overnight." Li Shimin took out a few things and placed them on the table in front of him, then divided the meat floss into plates: "Come and try it."

There was a plate of orange meat floss on the small table for several people. Wei Zheng picked it up, put it in his mouth, and was immediately surprised.

"Is this meat?"

Xiao Yu also took a bite and couldn't stop eating.

"Your Majesty, can this be stored conveniently?"

“It can be kept for more than a month.”

"How could she, a young lady, know everything?" Xiao Yu was jealous: "Your Majesty, I suspect that there is a master behind her, and I'm afraid her motives are not pure!"

"His Majesty……"

Xiao Yu wanted to say something, but Wei Zheng beside him pulled him back and covered his mouth.

Wei Zheng is stubborn and dares to speak out directly. Firstly, it is due to his status, and secondly, he has reasons and evidence. What you, Duke of Song, are doing is groundless!

Didn’t you see that His Majesty’s face is getting paler and paler?

Xiao Yu whimpered twice, finally breaking free, and glared at Wei Zheng: "Wei Xuancheng, you've been at odds with me lately!"

"I told you to calm down and then open your mouth." Wei Zheng picked up a piece of meat floss with chopsticks and stuffed it into Xiao Yu's mouth.

Then Xiao Yu calmed down.

Fortunately, this was a private negotiation, otherwise he would be deposed again. He didn't really suspect that there was someone behind Li Yin, he was simply jealous of how powerful a young lady was, and it was a pity that he worked so hard but couldn't get any praise from His Majesty... so he got angry.

Fang Xuanling held the tea with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, what other rare things do you have?"

"Matches." Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Yu and said nothing.

Shi Wen is always like this, acting rashly and with a mind smaller than a needle tip, and then regretting it afterwards, but he is no longer able to speak about it.

Li Shimin pulled out the box, took out a matchstick from it, and then scratched the purple paper on one side.

A small flame ignited.

Zhuangzi only made a small box of this thing. The materials were hard to find and make, so he sent all of it to the front line.

The three of them now understood that His Majesty was showing off his adopted sister!

Although I am still extremely surprised, I still have to hold my nose and praise it.

……

East of Chang'an City, at the entrance to Tonghua.

"Come and take a look, there are big-character posters posted in Nuzhuang again!" A man saw someone wearing a work uniform with the words "Nuzhuang" embroidered on it coming over and pasting a piece of paper on a large board outside the city gate, and then shouted.

"Are they hiring workers this time? My neighbor's kid went to work in a tofu skin workshop and now makes 2300 coins a month! His wife has even made two nice sets of clothes."

"No!"

A group of people rushed to the board, even though they were illiterate.

Even a few old ladies and young girls went to see it, because the women's farm recruits people regardless of gender!

People would also prepare a workshop for the young ladies. Many couples would go to work in the workshops, earning four strings of cash a month, and cooking meat for their children every now and then.

Others are very envious.

Isn't it better to work for two months during the slack season than to do something else?
