Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Chapter 51: Rebuilding the military camp and cultivating the land

Sitting opposite him was the biggest villain in the book, and Yan Nansheng felt very emotional.

Because the book is written from the heroine's perspective, the villains are never described directly and are all evil people.

But when Yan Nansheng was reading the book, he felt that the heroine created by the author was the worst one.

Not only did they steal the original owner's identity, they also turned around and killed the person's entire family, calling themselves villains.

He occupied the magpie's nest and received favors from others, but in order to climb to a high position and enjoy wealth and glory, he stepped on the blood of the benefactor's entire family and the souls of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Is there anyone worse than this?

The main reason is that the male protagonist feels that the female protagonist has suffered a lot of injustice, and he does this to vent his anger.

It really ruins my worldview.

Humph! This author is not a good person either.

Yan Nansheng thought that since he had been transported into this body, he must not let that bastard get any advantage.

Meeting the Xie family who came to purchase food and fodder this time is a good start.

If the Xie family could get the news in advance, they could avoid being deceived by the heroine again.

The previous operation has disrupted the progress in the book.

Then just change the original work beyond all recognition!

This snow disaster must not cause Xie's army to suffer heavy losses as described in the book. Because they did not have enough food to eat and had to help the victims rebuild their homes, many soldiers of Xie's army were exhausted.

The first step to show goodwill to the Xie family is to help the Xie family army store food!

"The general is actually from the Xie family army. I have heard of the reputation of the Xie family army since I can remember. This time, after meeting General Xie up close, I feel that the Xie family army is worthy of its reputation."

"It is said that if one soldier is brave, the generals are brave too. Seeing the demeanor of the two generals, the soldiers of the Xie family army must be extraordinary and brave."

Yan Nansheng's flattery matched with the serious expression on his face seemed very natural.

I don’t know whether Xie Yanli was happy or not, but Shangguan Que was certainly happy with the flattery.

He scratched his head and chuckled, not knowing where to put his hands.

It was the first time someone praised me so respectfully in person, and I felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Yanli chuckled, "You are overpraising Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan is a true hero born in his youth. He has already achieved the title of a scholar at such a young age. It is really admirable."

"Where, where..."

Old Master Yan was standing nearby, watching the two of them flattering each other. He really couldn't understand his granddaughter's intentions and was extremely anxious.

While pouring tea, he gave Yan Nansheng a look.

Yan Nansheng immediately understood.

"Since you two are here to purchase food and fodder, I won't beat around the bush. My Yan family respects the soldiers who guard the border the most."

"To be honest, this winter is very unusual. It even snowed a few days ago."

"I will try my best to gather the villagers of Qinghe Village to raise funds and see how much I can get."

Xie Yanli was moved when he saw that Yan Nansheng's expression did not seem fake.

I didn't expect that he has such a broad mind at such a young age. If he becomes an official in the future, he will probably be a good official who can understand the people's sentiments.

"Then I'd like to thank Mr. Yan first. I prepared some leather, thinking that it would provide an extra layer of protection for the villagers in winter. But seeing something as practical as a kang, I feel that it's a bit unnecessary."

"Thank you, General. Leather is indeed a good thing to keep warm."

Suddenly Yan Nansheng remembered that everyone lived in tents in the military camp, and this winter was so cold, and there was a snowstorm.

The Xie family army was stationed in a valley north of Qinghe Village. How could they keep out the cold by living in tents?

"Thank you, General. Winter in the north is extremely cold. How do the soldiers keep warm?"

Speaking of this, Xie Yanli and the others were silent.

Every winter is the most difficult time for Xie Jiajun.

Not only did the soldiers not have enough food to eat, they also had to endure the cold. The imperial court also withheld their winter supplies, and many people died every winter.

Either they froze to death or they starved to death.

Seeing the sadness surrounding the two, Yan Nansheng understood that they must not have taken good measures to keep warm.

I guess a lot of people will die...

"if……"

Xie Yanli and the other man looked up at Yan Nansheng in tacit understanding, with excited expressions, "Does Mr. Yan have a good way to save the lives of the soldiers?"

Old Master Yan also looked at his granddaughter curiously.

Could it be that my granddaughter really had a solution? If she could protect the soldiers from freezing to death, then the Xie family would become my granddaughter's biggest support in her future career as an official.

Being a lone official is the most difficult thing in the official career. In the case of the granddaughter, she cannot have close contact with other people, as the secret of her gender may be easily discovered.

If it was the Xie family...

The Xie family is trustworthy.

Lord Xie is a man who values ​​righteousness the most. With him keeping the secret, my granddaughter may never be exposed.

Yan Nansheng thought for a moment, then went to the desk and got the charcoal pencil and paper she usually used, and spread them on the table to write and draw.

"If we dismantle and rebuild the tents in the camp, we can build a large tent that can accommodate a hundred people. The tents should be placed close to each other, row by row, and a small wooden house should be built in the middle of each row."

"Build a stove in the cabin, and dig a flue on both sides with the cabin as the center, so that it can be connected."

Yan Nansheng connected the flue on the blueprint, "Just like this, since we can't build a kang in every tent, we can make it into a ground dragon, which will be much warmer."

Xie Yanli and Shangguan Que looked at each other.

They all saw the look of "So it can be done this way" in each other's eyes.

Old Master Yan nodded and said yes.

"Yes, if the flue doesn't work on the ground, we can go underground!"

"Mr. Yan, you really helped us solve a big problem. Don't you know that a large number of soldiers freeze to death in the military camp every year?"

"As a soldier, he didn't die on the battlefield fighting the enemy, but was frozen to death in the barracks. It was really a cowardly death..."

Shangguan Que's voice was choked with sobs.

Yan Nansheng did not respond. If they knew that he died at the hands of his own people in his previous life, would they be even more disappointed?

Afraid that his emotions would be revealed, Yan Nansheng quickly changed the subject, "Does the military camp usually only rely on the food and grass distributed by the court to survive?"

Xue Yanli frowned upon hearing this, "Yes, in previous years, although the imperial court's food and wages were not enough to feed all the soldiers, they would be delivered on time. This year..."

Perhaps he felt that he should not reveal too much about the situation in the military camp, so Xie Yanli stopped talking in time.

"When there is no war, why don't you consider cultivating land for self-sufficiency?"

"Tuntian farming?"

"You mean to let the soldiers plant crops in the barracks in the spring to store food?"

"Before joining the army, most of the soldiers were farming at home."

“If we open up hundreds of acres of wasteland where the military camps are stationed and grow some food ourselves, it will not only allow the soldiers to have enough food in the future, but also give the soldiers who are not at war something to do.”

“Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

Yes! Since the share given by the court is not enough, why not grow food yourself!

Yan Nansheng's words gave Xie Yanli a new idea, which had never been done before.

But so what? Let him be the first one.

I finalized the implementation plan with Xie Yanli and agreed to come over to pick up potatoes in a few days.

Xie Yanli took Shangguan Que and hurried back to the military camp.

We must quickly organize the soldiers to go up the mountain to chop firewood and build a new camp according to Yan Nansheng's drawings.

I also need to talk to my father about reclaiming land and growing crops next spring.
