It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

After listening to Chunxia's story, Weng Xiaoxiao felt relieved. "It's fine if I talk it out. Tian Runze can just find an excuse to shirk it. The key is Ping'an. That's what you need to deal with seriously."

Chunxia nodded in shame, but there were some things that were beyond her control and she could never do that again.

They are all like family members. Only when they are happy can the family be more stable. Weng Xiaoxiao is worried about them like an old mother.

By the end of August, Li Hong's formalities were completed. Several thick clothes, travel expenses, and a travel permit were packed into a large bag and delivered by Fenggu.

From then on, the nameless little temple lost a lay disciple, and the world gained a fledgling doctor.

……

"Even Guan Gong could endure the pain of scraping his bones to treat the poison, so I can endure this little pain. Pull out..." Yang Shuo bit the handkerchief and turned to look outside.

The arrow was completely embedded in the flesh, but luckily it didn't hit a vital part or a bone, otherwise it would have killed him instantly. Chun He was shocked and felt sorry for his master.

"Let me know."

Yang Shuo had already caught a glimpse of the letter in Chunhe's hand. It was a thin letter, and it must have been sent by his grandfather.

Chunhe didn't dare to disobey, so she tore open the seal in front of Yang Shuo, unfolded it and handed it over.

"General, please sit down. The bandage has not been completed yet. If you were like this when you pulled out the arrow just now, your leg would be crippled."

Looking at the old military doctor with a face full of sweat, Yang Shuo sat back patiently and apologized.

There are constant frictions between the two sides, but there has never been a direct confrontation. Once a conflict breaks out, it will surely be a fierce battle.

Fortunately, the battle here has ended and the neighboring tribes have been driven away. At least for the next one or two years, they will not be able to travel long distances to attack Daqin.

He wanted to go to the northwest, right now! He really wanted to fly there.

"Chun He, invite the two deputy generals Zhang Qian and Chu Liang."

Chunhe agreed with mixed feelings and trotted out. The general felt uneasy if he didn't go to the northwest, but he was so injured that he couldn't stand the long journey, so how could he fight!

The two deputy generals are both close confidants of Yang Shuo's father. They are around 30 years old, in the prime of life, and are Yang Shuo's right-hand men.

"General."

The two of them came over very quickly, and Yang Shuo had just finished getting dressed.

"Please take a seat, both of you. I have something important to discuss with you."

The war had just ended, what was the important matter? The two looked at each other in confusion.

"This place has basically stabilized. I want to go to the northwest to help my grandfather put down the rebellion."

"General, are you leaving now? You are seriously injured, how can you travel on horseback?" Zhang Qian asked anxiously.

Ma Liang frowned, "General, even if we want to go, we have to wait for the imperial court's order. It would be better to report the great victory and request assistance from the northwest at the same time."

Yang Shuo had calmed down at this moment. His grandfather had told him that if he wanted to go to the northwest, he must bring 100,000 soldiers of the Yang family army with him. It would be difficult for a commander alone to achieve anything.

He couldn't mobilize the army without an order from the court. Even if he could do it, it would be tantamount to treason, and he couldn't let the soldiers bear this crime.

"Well, Uncle Ma has thought it through. I will write a memorial to the emperor later. One of you two will stay behind, and one will go with me to the northwest. I will also apply to bring 100,000 troops with me. Please help me plan the troop transfer."

"Yes."

"Yes, the troops are easy to deal with, but what about the food?"

"From the perspective of the imperial court, the barbarians are far away, and only the vassal kings are a threat. At this time, there will not be a shortage of any military supplies."

The two nodded silently.

When the Marquis left Mobei, they were still rookies, but they had a deep memory of the Marquis' demeanor. Lian Po is old, can he still eat? But even if the old man's appetite has not decreased, his physical strength and energy are no longer what they used to be. I hope he can hold on for a while longer.

……

"The rice seems to be growing well."

Liu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Thanks to the boss's advice, we were able to collect some, at least we won't starve. Only our village is relatively stable, but the people around us are in a miserable state."

Many fields that had been flooded were still barren. Some were planted with vegetables, but few were planted with grain. Some were cleared too late, and the weather was too late to plant. When their rice was ripe, they would have to be on guard against hungry people.

"Uncle Liu, when the harvest comes, hire more villagers from the neighboring villages and pay them with food. If they can earn money honestly, they won't think of stealing."

That's right, we are all ordinary people. As long as we can survive, who would be willing to do something that would bring punishment from God?

"The boss is kind."

"This is good for everyone. With free hands, we can build a few more greenhouses and sell fresh vegetables."

There are many rich people in Yangzhou, so as long as the products are good, there is no need to worry about sales.

"Yes, yes, the boss has done a great deed." Liu Yuan nodded continuously. He had never dared to imagine that he would not go hungry during a famine year.

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and waved her hands, "I'll just do my best. I'll definitely take good care of Mr. Gu."

"Mr. Gu is very satisfied with the food my wife cooks, and the children are also very hardworking. Hearing the sound of their reading every day can give me a boost."

Yang Shuo once said that when the world is at peace and he takes off his military uniform, he will become a teacher.

Weng Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered this sentence, but her heart was filled with bitterness. Is her general safe?

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Weng Xiaoxiao hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Let's go take a look at the sweet potatoes."

"They are densely packed and growing well, but they look no different from vegetables, just a large patch of bare leaves." Liu Yuan really couldn't figure out how these sweet potatoes could be used as food.

Sweet potato tips (young leaves) are indeed vegetables, but the quantity is too small now, so we cannot pull these leaves to cook.

"The edible part is the rhizome, which grows in the soil."

After all, he had never met her, so Liu Yuan was puzzled, but he believed Weng Xiaoxiao.

The sweet potatoes have been growing for more than two months and are almost at the fruit expansion period. Weng Xiaoxiao bent down and started to dig the roots of a sweet potato with her hands.

How could a scholar do such rough work? And it was too slow. Liu Hongxiang couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said, "Boss, you tell me how to do it, and I'll do the digging."

Without the right tools, the digging process was indeed very slow, and my fingers were a little sore from the grinding. "Brother, you come, be gentle, don't damage the roots."

Liu Hongxiang responded, found a small wooden stick on the ground and started digging. Weng Xiaoxiao was embarrassed when she saw this. It would be strange if her hands didn't hurt. She didn't even know how to use a simple tool.

"Stop," Weng Xiaoxiao, who had already seen the sweet potato as thick as a finger, quickly stopped Liu Hongxiang.

"Boss, is this a sweet potato? It's too small." Liu Hongxiang curled his lips.

"It's still growing. It will be about a foot long and as thick as a fist. Do you have any compost left? It would be great if you could add some fertilizer."

"This batch of fertilizer is almost ready. It's prepared for use in the greenhouse vegetable fields, so let's use it here first." Liu Yuan said from the side.
