The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

The army led by General Ming has been through the baptism of war. Now General Ming's prestige in the army is actually equal to that of Jun Fu. With a little more polishing, it can become a veritable Ming family army.

The money issue is easy to solve. Ming Huaixi learned a lot from Pei Zhi in his previous life. He can also develop in this life and go overseas to seek wealth.

I have to ask my father and brothers for help with military matters.

There are still two years until the event deadline, so time is a bit tight to prepare for these things from now on. We have to hurry up and do these things.

Now we have to think of a way. My father and brothers know that what happened to Marquis Weiyuan was not an accident. We need to let them be alert in advance. My father is not the kind of blindly loyal person. He is only loyal to the people of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The brothers were not the kind of people who stick to the rules. The reason they had not made any preparations before was that they did not expect that the man sitting on the dragon throne would take action against the generals at such a critical moment.

Second, the suspicious deaths of Marquis Weiyuan and his son were not spread. At that time, the three men of the Ming family were all on the battlefield and not in the capital. After the news of Marquis Weiyuan's death in battle reached the border, some of the news was downplayed. In addition, the exaggerated war details circulated among the people further blurred the Ming family's judgment of the situation.

The original owner did not have much experience, and was not able to keenly extract useful information from some suspicious news. He did not take to heart some words he did not understand, so the people in the general's mansion did not prepare in advance, and were ambushed by people close to them on the battlefield, which led to them being seriously injured.

It was only because they reacted quickly, otherwise it would not be as simple as being seriously injured and unable to fight on the battlefield again. This shows how amazing the talents of General Ming and his son are.

Therefore, a large and accurate information network is also crucial. You must know that information is effective. In the eyes of military strategists and politicians, getting accurate information early can make a drastic change in the situation.

Ming Huaixi formulated a huge plan, first forming a caravan and establishing a business, and then using the business as a framework to build an information network.

However, if we want to form a caravan, we need manpower. It seems that we have to go back to the General's Mansion. However, it is better for Weiyuan Marquis Mansion not to get involved in these matters.

Some things that happened in the future and the attitude of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion towards the original owner made Ming Huaixi really dislike them. Although it is said that if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, the actions of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are still quite sad. After all, they are not family members. There is a layer of separation between them, and even the trust is only superficial.

In fact, what made the original owner most sad was the attitude of the old lady of Weiyuan Hou towards her. This old lady had taken care of the original owner when she was young, but when the original owner got into trouble, she alienated the original owner without any definite evidence.

The original owner had no mother, and it was the Madam Weiyuan Hou who gave her motherly care. The second son followed the arranged childhood marriage and married the Madam Weiyuan Hou only because he wanted to be closer to her and have her become his mother.

She didn't expect that she would not be able to enjoy the love between mother and daughter. In the heart of the old lady of Weiyuan Marquis, her son was the most important.

She would not allow her daughter-in-law to do things in the name of her son's wife after her son died, even if it was just a rumor. She could allow the original owner to divorce, because after the divorce, she would have nothing to do with her son anymore.

All we can say is that the positions are different.

Ming Huaixi didn't want to worry about the affairs of the old lady of Weiyuan Marquis anymore. After all, the original owner didn't say that she wanted to continue this mother-daughter relationship. Even if she asked, Ming Huaixi didn't want to do it. The affection that was gained could be taken back at any time.

Next, Ming Huaixi began to form a caravan. Since he had no manpower now, he could only ask someone to inquire about the caravan’s route.

Two months later, the Ming family father and son returned to the general's mansion, and Ming Huaixi came to the general's mansion after they returned from the audience with the emperor.

Ming Huaixi thought that the original owner had no political sensitivity, and if he expressed his thoughts directly, it might not work. It would be better for him to tell his father and brothers about the doubts that the son of Weiyuan Marquis had mentioned to his confidants when the bodies of Weiyuan Marquis and his son were transported back.

The reason why the original owner knew about this matter was that the bodies of Weiyuan Hou and his son were placed in the mourning hall at that time. The original owner wanted to take another look at her husband, and happened to hear Weiyuan Hou's son and his confidant talking about it outside the mourning hall. Maybe she didn't think that anyone would hear it.

Mingyuan and his son returned soon after meeting the emperor. They also knew what had happened to Ming Huaixi in the past two months. They were about to go look for her, but before they even walked out the door, the servants brought Ming Huaixi in.

"Dad, big brother, second brother, are you going out?" Ming Huaixi walked in and saw that his father and brothers seemed to be going out.

"Xiao Xi'er, you're here. We were indeed going out, but we wanted to find you, and you came at the right time." The second brother was a quick-witted person. He answered immediately when he heard Ming Huaixi's question.

"Oh, I see. By the way, where are my sisters-in-law? I'll go say hello to them first. I'll have something to say to daddy and brothers later. Please go to the study and wait for me." Ming Huaixi said and was about to go to the backyard to find his sisters-in-law.

"Your sisters-in-law are in the kitchen right now. They said that our father and I have worked hard, so they want to cook for us personally to welcome us. Don't go to the wrong place." The second brother was still so quick-witted.

Ming Huaixi heard that the sisters-in-law were in the kitchen and immediately changed direction and walked over. "Then I will go to help the sisters-in-law too. We can talk in the study after dinner."

General Mingyuan saw Ming Huaixi leave, and there were only the three of them left. He didn't have much to say for a moment. Thinking that they had only changed into clean clothes after returning and had no time to tidy themselves up, he suggested, "In that case, let's go and rest ourselves first."

This proposal was supported by the two sons, so they each returned to their own rooms, asked someone to bring them water to take a bath, changed into comfortable clothes, and then when they saw that it was almost time, they all went to the dining hall.

In the dining hall, the two ladies and Ming Huaixi had already had the food prepared.

"Father, you are here. I was just about to ask someone to call you." The young lady saw the three people coming to the dining hall.

The Young Madam is the eldest daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Qiao Ze, is a man of outstanding ability. He has become the second-in-command of the Ministry of Revenue when he is less than 40 years old. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is already old and intends to promote Qiao Ze. Qiao Ze is a relatively upright person, but he is often confused about household affairs.

The young lady's maiden name is Qiao Xin. She has been married to Ming Hao Ning for eight years. Qiao Xin suffered a lot of grievances in the Qiao Mansion. Qiao Xin's mother died of illness when she was two years old.

My maternal grandparents were also a wealthy family in the capital at the time. They felt sorry for their granddaughter who lost her mother at such a young age, so they took Qiao Xin in to raise her.

When Qiao Xin was four years old, Qiao Ze remarried. His stepmother's family was not well-off, but she was fertile and gave birth to a girl just one year after her marriage.

At that time, Qiao Xin's maternal grandfather had retired and her uncles were all serving as officials in other places, so her maternal family decided to return to their ancestral home. Qiao Xin was already six years old and grown up, so she was sent back to the Qiao Mansion.

For fear of being bullied by her stepmother, she left a few loyal servants to serve her. She also wrote to Qiao Xin every year. Her uncles would also come to see her every year when they were given official positions. Although she had no worries about food and drink, she suffered a lot of grievances at the hands of her stepmother that could not be told to outsiders.

And Qiao Ze is the type who doesn't care about family affairs. Unless you go to him to complain, don't expect him to find out.

After Qiao Xin returned, the stepmother took good care of Qiao Xin at first, and no one could find any fault with her. But a year later, she gave birth to a son for Qiao Ze. She felt that she had established herself, and started to treat Qiao Xin in a perfunctory manner.
