The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

When Captain Dong saw the two old men looking at him with such expectant eyes, he felt a rare sense of pride.

"Ahem." He pretended to clear his throat before speaking something that shocked the two men across from him. "The rice planted by our West Mountain Hundred Households is about to be harvested, and I'm here to ask you, the Thousand Households Master, to come and take a look at the fresh harvest."

"What? You guys at the West Mountain Hundred Households have grown rice?" Captain Xia was so unconvinced. You know, at the beginning of the spring, he heard rumors that Captain Dong had secretly paid a large sum of money to buy rice seeds from the East Mountain Hundred Households. He had really cheated him back then.

He dared to say that if the rice seeds he brought back had a 10% germination rate, he would be lucky. How could he expect a bumper harvest? He was just dreaming.

Captain Dong ignored the disdain hidden in Captain Xia's eyes and continued to speak to Captain Wei, "Master Captain, would you like to visit our West Mountain Captain's Office to see what's new? I can assure you without hesitation that you will not be disappointed."

"You're just bragging!" Captain Xia muttered three words in a low voice.

This time, Captain Dong didn't even glance at him. A defeated general, he really didn't need to worry about him.

Captain Wei believed it. Looking at Captain Dong's serious expression, he knew that Captain Dong was not trying to fool him, and he became even more excited.

For him, the more food the better, especially rice. The rice produced in this land can bring him many benefits.

Captain Wei thought again of the complex network of relationships in the capital, and that their family was just an insignificant small family and had no ability to help him.

To put it bluntly, if Dong Qianli didn't know how to curry favor with his superiors, he might not have been able to get the position of Qianhu.

Captain Dong didn't know that in just a short while, Captain Wei had thought about a lot of things, so much that he couldn't keep up.

Captain Dong ignored his complicated thoughts and said, "Master Qianhu will come to our Xishan Hundred Household Office the day after tomorrow. I will take you to see the rice we grow."

"Okay, I will definitely be there."

"And me." Captain Xia didn't care about his fear of Captain Dong. He had to see with his own eyes the rice grown by Captain Xishan. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to close his eyes after his death.

"I'd be delighted." Captain Dong hadn't expected that Xia Wangu would say he wanted to go before he even opened his mouth. Haha, that's fantastic.

"Master Qian Hu, I will go back."

Captain Dong and Captain Wei said goodbye and went out.

Watching Captain Dong leave like a gust of wind, Captain Wei remained silent for a moment before asking Captain Xia, "Old Xia, tell me what the rice seeds you sold to Captain Dong looked like."

"this…"

"Don't talk about this or that. I want to hear the truth."

Seeing that the captain's eyes became fierce, Captain Xia had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I mixed 10% of ordinary rice seeds into the shriveled rice."

"You're going too far." Captain Wei hadn't expected Captain Xia to be so excessive. "Dong Qianli beat you up, and you didn't deserve it at all."

"Master, I..." Captain Xia wanted to say that rice farming was the exclusive patent of their Dongshan Hundred Household Office, so how could he easily give it to others? Especially not to the Xishan Hundred Household Office, he couldn't give it to anyone else.

"Those are rice seeds, and those are human lives. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the soldiers bought your seeds and went back to plant their fields, and nothing grew that season? What would our soldiers and the soldiers eat? Would they all starve to death?"

"Master Qianhu, it's not that serious. It's just two acres of rice seeds. It shouldn't starve anyone to death."

"Two acres of land is not a small amount." Captain Wei felt a little guilty now, thinking that he had been too indulgent towards Captain Xia in the past, so he dared to cheat Captain Dong on the rice seeds.

"Sir~"

"I'm telling you, if the Xishan Hundred Households Office fails to grow rice, you'll have to compensate them with two acres of rice."

"Master Qian Hu, our Dongshan Bai Hu's grain production has already decreased this year. How can I have extra grain to compensate them?"

"I don't care. You've caused this trouble yourself, so you have to deal with it yourself."

Now Captain Wei has concluded that the Xishan Hundred Households have not grown any rice at all, and asking him to go there is nothing more than to give them justice.

He must give this justice, otherwise these people will not take food seriously and will give people inferior seeds of all kinds, which will lead to major accidents and even deaths.

Captain Xia never expected that his momentary thought would change the captain's opinion of him. He now regrets it deeply.

...

The time for rice harvest soon arrived, and Captain Wei came with his personal soldiers the night before.

He had his own little plan in mind, which was to hope that when Captain Dong got angry, he would not make too much trouble because he had arrived early.

Captain Dong was in high spirits and had no time to care what Captain Wei was thinking.

The night before, Captain Dong selected the strongest soldiers in the squadron, gave each of them a sickle, and held a similar mobilization meeting.

I just hope that everyone can finish harvesting the two acres of rice as quickly as possible tomorrow.

Zhou Dasheng: "Don't worry, even for the delicious food made by Madam Jiang, we can't slack off."

"Oh, Old Zhou can express it in four words. The sun is really rising in the north."

"What's wrong with four words? I just didn't like to say them before."

"Ouch, ouch, I told you you're fat and you're out of breath."

Hearing a few people laughing and making noises as usual, Captain Dong just watched with a smile and let them do what they wanted.

The next day was a sunny day. Captain Dong gathered everyone early and did not let even Captain Wei go.

Captain Wei: I finally made it to the Hundred Households Office down below, thinking I could take a break, but I didn’t expect that that naive guy wouldn’t even give me the chance to be lazy.

Captain Dong: "Everyone, take your weapons and sickles, mount your horses and set off in the direction of the Thirteen Banners.

"Yes."

Seeing this scene, Captain Wei instantly became alert. He had to admit that the soldiers of the West Mountain Hundred Households, under the leadership of Captain Dong, were different from those of other Hundred Households. He had to give him a thumbs up.

Captain Dong turned around and saw that Captain Wei hadn't mounted his horse yet, so he called out to him to hurry up and catch up. He added in his mind: "Why are you dilly-dallying? I don't know what you're thinking about."

Captain Wei didn't know yet that Captain Dong disliked him.

...

The happiest person today must be Zhang Xiaoqi. He got up as soon as it was light, washed and put on his new coat which he had kept in the bottom of the box.

His breakfast was even more unusual. He only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and ran out the door as if his feet were burned. Guan called him several times, but he didn't turn back.

Angered, Guan kept muttering, "You were so restless last night because of those two acres of rice. You tossed and turned more frequently than you could make pancakes. You even went to the toilet twice in the middle of the night. I thought you had a stomachache."
