The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

When Captain Dong brought his men over, he saw from a distance that there was a commotion in the fields on the other side of the river.

General Ye brought his children and grandchildren, and Zhang Xiaoqi also followed. Each of them took a ridge to pick peanuts, and the young boys carried the picked peanuts back to the field.

The women sat on sacks and put the picked peanuts into the wicker baskets next to them.

The younger children carried a basket and followed the adults to pick peanuts.

Sansheng simply sat on the ground, holding a small stick and digging there. Jiulang had sharp eyes and saw that Sansheng had dug out a lot of peanuts, so he also sat down like Sansheng.

Qillang and Balang saw this and started digging as well.

Yichen didn't expect that these young men all had good eyesight and were all action-oriented.

"Not bad."

The little person, with his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in the peanut field like a leader inspecting the work.

This caused Ning's eyes to focus on her and she couldn't see anyone else.

In the room, Jiang Yan was talking to Ye Zhan about Captain Dong.

"Captain Dong is a good man. He has an overwhelming sense of justice and treats his officers and soldiers like his own brothers. It's fair to say he's the most reputable officer in Blackrock City."

But Jiang Yan still didn't dare to gamble, "Husband, you should stay in the house today. Don't let them see you."

Ye Zhan believed whatever his wife said. Seeing that his wife didn't let him go out, he nodded in agreement without asking the reason.

Jiang Yan told Ye Zhan her concerns, "I am a woman now. If my official status is not taken into consideration, I have an equal relationship with them. But once Shen Sanlang's identity is involved, this equal relationship is broken."

Jiang Yan stared into Ye Zhan's eyes and said helplessly, "I don't want to be a lamb to be slaughtered."

"Daughter-in-law~"

Jiang Yan held Ye Zhan's hand, patted it affectionately, and then continued, "It's a great blessing for our family of three to be alive and reunited. However, call me greedy or ungrateful, I still want our family to live well. At the very least, we shouldn't be manipulated by others based on our status."

Ye Zhan certainly supported her.

Jiang Yan told Ye Zhan again that their family had no intention of harming anyone for the time being, but they had to always be on guard against others.

Ye Zhan nodded again, his wife was right.

Jiang Yan thought about it and felt uneasy about letting Ye Zhan stay in the east room, so she carried him to the kang in the west room and changed him into a pair of pajamas.

Just then, with Ye Zhan's bitter smile, he locked the door of the west room.

...

The peanut field became more lively with the addition of Dong Qianhu and others.

When Jiang Yan came over, she saw Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Guan sorting the picked peanuts into two grades and placing them in different wicker baskets.

Jiang Yan blinked. This was really convenient and saved her a lot of time.

Captain Dong was delighted to see that a bunch of peanut vines had produced so many peanuts.

It was only after he became a captain that he realized that the peanuts were a deal between Wei Desheng, General Ming, and the Ministry of Revenue.

To be precise, the Ministry of Revenue sent the peanut seeds in order to make things difficult for General Ming.

Those damn Ministry of Revenue officials, believing Black Rock City couldn't grow peanuts, were giving General Ming a hard time. If Black Rock City couldn't grow peanuts, or if the yield per mu fell below 200 kilograms, Black Rock City's military spending would be cut.

Thinking of General Ming cursing, Captain Dong felt disheartened. The imperial court was rotten to the core. What was the point of their efforts?

When he was a centurion, he was ecstatic to get a farming talent like Madam Jiang.

With Madam Jiang, the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households Unit will no longer have to go hungry.

Thinking about the extra food, horse meat, and rice grown in the Xishan Hundred Households Office, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Who knew that he laughed so hard that he became a thousand households.

After becoming a thousand households, he could no longer laugh.

A thousand households have to manage ten hundred households. Among these ten hundred households, only the West Mountain Hundred Households and the East Mountain Hundred Households can be self-sufficient. The remaining eight hundred households are still stretching their necks waiting for him to feed them.

Our ancestors said that you should wear a hat that fits your head, but he felt that his head was not that big. What should he do?!

Damn it, if it weren't for the brothers being bullied, he would have wanted to resign long ago. Whoever wants to be the captain can do it, anyway, he doesn't want to do it.

Zhang Xiaoqi didn't realize that his boss was feeling awkward, so he happily went over to him.

"Boss, look at the peanuts grown by Madam Jiang. Are they the best?"

It was indeed good, Captain Dong acknowledged it everywhere he went. But when he thought of the food and fodder for the eight hundred households, his head ached.

"Boss?"

"Don't bother calling me ghost, I'm so worried now."

"How could that be? We won the battle."

"We won the battle, but we didn't get any food."

"Why is there no food? Does horse meat count?"

"That's our Xishan Hundred Households Office. We have food and horse meat, which gives you the confidence to act so arrogantly. Other Hundred Households Offices don't have that."

"Ah? Not really!"

"Of course not, you old fellow, don't you know that other centurions only get ten pounds of horse meat per person, and some of it is not even enough to be weighed."

"No, those grandsons are so poor that they are still stingy with the horse meat."

"This year, our Xishan Hundred Households Division got a larger share thanks to Madam Jiang's cheating. In previous years, when we divided the horse meat, I had to fight with them so they wouldn't dare to deduct my share."

Captain Dong went to the Qianhu Office because he had beaten up several clerks who had shortchanged people on the weight of horse meat when it was being distributed.

After beating them, he told them to get out.

This was the little bit of meat that the officers and soldiers had exchanged their lives for, and those bastards wanted to withhold it. He didn't beat them to death, thinking of the overall situation.

There were no outsiders here, and Captain Dong's complaints became more and more frequent.

"Damn it, after becoming a Qian Hu, I've learned more about the dark side. Those bastards from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue have colluded to exploit us. Not only do they take our salaries without paying them, they also exploit our military funds and food supplies."

"Who said that?"

"Of course it was General Ming who said it. If General Ming hadn't told me, how would I know?"

"No? Are those bastards so blatantly corrupt?"

"What else do you think?"

"Fuck his ancestors! We're starving here, working so hard, and yet we're raising so many termites?"

"What's even more infuriating is that General Ming still doesn't know who is eating the salaries of 30,000 soldiers without any work."

"Fuck, for a pest like this, chopping off his head ten times would be a bargain."

"That's right. I got so angry when I heard that that I wanted to chop him to pieces." Captain Dong didn't say anything weird. If he knew who that person was, he would really chop him to pieces.

When the Ye family father and son heard Captain Dong and Zhang Xiaoqi rambling and cursing, they were deeply moved. "All crows are black."
