Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Once the teacher was confirmed, the private school started recruiting students, because the house built by the village was provided for the teacher to live in for free. The Jiang and Bai families also paid the teacher a salary. The tuition fee was very low. All the families with children in the village sent their children to the private school. Not to mention learning a little arithmetic and reading, it was not difficult to find a job.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yue is 20 years old this year. She is now a pure old girl. In the past few years, Jiang's father and Chen had been looking for boyfriends for her. But when Jiang Yue told them that she didn't want to get married, Jiang's father and Chen didn't force her to go and seemed to have accepted it.

Jiang Yue was confused and didn't know what Jiang's father and Chen were thinking. They didn't tell her and she didn't ask. Slowly, Jiang's father and Chen began to arrange the family assets for her. They built a house and registered some land in her name. When her brother Jiang Xuan found out, he didn't have any objection, let alone her sister.

That day, Jiang Xuan and his father brought back a piece of news from the capital that the northern barbarians had invaded in large numbers. The whole family was worried and said, "Ah, we finally had a few years to recuperate and have to go to war again. Why can't we stop fighting these barbarians?"

“Is this another tax?”

"Almost. Whenever there is a war, taxes are levied. I just don't know how much they will be raised this year. If the war continues, the State of Chen will really be destroyed. And I heard that this time, not only the barbarians are invading, but the two princes who escaped a few years ago have also rebelled."

"What! The world is going to be in chaos!" Chen jumped up after hearing what Father Jiang said.

"Almost. I don't know if the Ninth Prince can stop the barbarians. Humph! These two princes are really beasts. Maybe they are the ones who colluded with the barbarians to invade. Is someone who has secret dealings with foreign tribes worthy of being a king?"

We have to tell the truth about Jiang's father. The two princes saw that the Sixth Prince's throne was becoming more and more stable. If they did not launch an uprising, they would have no chance at all, so they began to collude with foreign tribes.

Chen, who was standing by, hit Jiang's father on the arm to stop him from talking nonsense. Then she thought for a moment and said, "We need to make some preparations. We need to buy more food and other things. It will definitely be hard to buy in the next few years. The imperial court will also exploit us civilians when we go to war."

"The defense work in the village must also be completed as quickly as possible. There are still people living outside in the back mountain. Let's hurry up and have them move into the village."

"Yes, I remember that some time ago, Brother Bai Ze said that he wanted to train a patrol team so that they could defend the village in case there were refugees or defeated soldiers. The days ahead will definitely become more and more difficult."

When the news of the barbarian invasion spread, more than half of the powerful and wealthy people in the capital quietly fled and went to the Jiangnan area. Although there was also a rebellion there, it was not as brutal as the barbarians. Almost no one believed that the Ninth Prince could stop the barbarians.

In fact, if the heroine hadn't helped, the Ninth Prince would really be unstoppable. After all, gunpowder had not been developed yet, and the heroine still had some concerns. It was not until many people had died that the heroine softened her heart and couldn't bear it anymore and finally developed the bomb. The outcome of the battle was decided.

In the days that followed, just as Jiang's father had expected, the official tax rate was raised to 70%. Many people still owed money to the landlords after a year of farming. Now the taxes were collected twenty years later, which really highlighted the people's miserable lives. The good thing is that Jiang's father has now waived all land rents, otherwise everyone would really not be able to survive.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang's father bought a few shops in the capital to sell vegetables and peaches. The current prices are very low, almost the same as cabbage, so he won't lose much by buying them. During this period, the village's fortifications have also been completed. The road on both sides of the village entrance has been blocked with wood and stones, and a gatehouse has been built between the two mountains. Arrow towers have also been built on both sides of the gatehouse, and a sentry post has been added on the top of both mountains for early warning.

The sentries are basically puppets, and Bai Ze, a normal person in the village, arranges patrol work for them, so that when Bai Ze finds a situation, he can prepare early and can directly sound the alarm without haggling. The good thing is that although they are fighting, they haven't found much impact on their side, mainly because no one can reach the capital yet.

The main thing we are on guard against now are some bandits and hooligans who want to take advantage of the situation to rob. In the past five years, the villagers have had nothing to do and have not gone to the city to wander around. They buy supplies in bulk and buy a lot at a time. Those who can survive now are those who know what to do. In the past five years, the population has not decreased but has increased instead.

In fact, it was not just Jiang Yue's village that did this. Almost everyone with a little bit of brains did this. Those who were careless would have died long ago. A few days later, news came from the capital that the barbarians were besieging the city. It took time for the news to arrive, and by now the heroine had probably researched out explosives. The barbarians had a large number of cavalry, and when the bombs exploded, the horses were frightened, and many people were trampled to death before the battle even started. Then the ninth prince led his army to fight and defeated the barbarians.

While most people in the village were worried and scared, Jiang Yue was relieved. Jiang Yue remembered that after the Ninth Prince defeated the barbarians, he unified the country and established the Great Wei in just a few years, although Jiang Yue didn't know why the country's name was changed.

After the invention of gunpowder, wars became a matter of grandfathers fighting grandsons. If it weren't for the Ninth Prince's steady approach, fighting and building at the same time, the country would have been unified in just a few months.

The subsequent developments were just as Jiang Yue had expected. Three years later, the domestic war was quelled by the Ninth Prince. The following year, the Ninth Prince ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Wei and the reign title to Dingbang. This year is the first year of Dingbang.

What followed was a general amnesty for all officials. The heroine became the first woman in history to hold an official position. The Ninth Prince set up a special academy of science, and the heroine became the first dean, with the same rank as the six ministers. It wasn't that no one opposed it, but the opposition was useless. The Ninth Prince had killed countless aristocratic families in the past three years, and they were almost scared. There was no other way but to have cannons to show their strength.

The enrollment of new students for the Academy of Sciences was not smooth. Although no one dared to oppose it openly, there were still many people who were secretly making small moves.

But who is the heroine? She directly wrote to His Majesty to build new primary schools, middle schools, high schools and universities across the country, which suddenly overturned the foundation of the family.

During this period, countless people opposed it, and the assassins of those aristocratic families tried to assassinate the heroine like crazy. She almost died, but Jiang Yue secretly arranged for the heroine to have elixirs that are immune to all poisons, pills that strengthen the body, and an indestructible body.

Then those noble families found that the more they poisoned the heroine, the more energetic she became, and the assassination attempts couldn't even break her skin. When they found that the heroine was unable to function, they didn't think of just sitting there and waiting to die, and wanted to assassinate the emperor directly.

After Jiang Yue found out, he arranged another wave for the Ninth Prince. Then all the noble families were defeated. The Emperor and the heroine even thought that it was a manifestation of the gods and held a special ceremony to worship them. Jiang Yue almost died of laughter when he saw this.

Even so, they did not give up and wanted to start a rebellion, but the soldiers of the Ninth Prince were all from the north. They had suffered a lot from foreign invasions and were loyal to the Ninth Prince. With the help of these loyal people, cannons and rifles, they killed many people.
