Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

They were even more excited when they heard gossip that the Huide County Lady was the young general's sweetheart.

Princess Huide is a woman who has been praised by the emperor. She is kind, righteous and intelligent. Only such a woman is worthy of her young general.

A woman like Zhou Yuwei who behaves in a dissolute and ignorant manner is unacceptable to the young general, not even the ordinary soldiers.

Although Princess Huide was born into a peasant family, she was probably the one who won the young general's affection and admiration, which showed that she was a person of noble character.

Zhao Mingyuan felt sweet and happy. Under Chen Xin's guidance, he opened the cloth covering the seedlings. He saw that the seedlings were still full of vitality and looked energetic after a few days.

There was no sign of dejection at all, and Zhao Mingyuan felt even more satisfied!

What surprised Zhao Mingyuan even more was that Liu Feng and his men actually captured some bandits from the Black Dragon Stronghold and killed the second-in-command. Liu Sanzhu actually came with them.

After listening to Liu Feng's report of what happened, Zhao Mingyuan patted Liu Sanzhu on the shoulder and felt relieved.

Before, he was worried that Liu Sanzhu would be exposed and killed by Ma Dahong.

Now that I see he is safe and sound, I feel at ease.

That’s right, Liu Sanzhu got in touch with Zhao’s army by chance and became an insider in the Black Dragon Stronghold.

Ma Dahong's whereabouts were also revealed to Zhao Mingyuan by Liu Sanzhu.

When Liu Sanzhu heard that Ma Dahong had been captured, he was very excited. However, the Black Dragon Stronghold had not been destroyed due to its terrain. Liu Sanzhu immediately patted his chest and said that he could lead the way.

He was more familiar with the terrain of the Black Dragon Stronghold than anyone else. He had lived at the foot of the mountain where the Black Dragon Stronghold was located since he was a child. In addition, when he was keeping a close eye on Ma Dahong's whereabouts, he lived directly on the mountain.

Therefore, I am very familiar with the terrain.

Zhao Mingyuan and others were very happy and asked Liu Sanzhu to take a good rest first and then go up the mountain to wipe out all the people in the stronghold tomorrow.

Then he invited Chen Xin and others to enter the military camp and then go into the tent to rest for a while. Chen Xin and others readily followed his advice.

Chen Xin and several young people were also very excited. It was their first time entering the border camp.

The soldiers were all training, waving their swords and shouting slogans, which shocked Chen Xin and his companions.

He straightened his back unconsciously and his eyes became serious.

Several young men from Kaoshan Village were also very excited. All young people have a dream of becoming a general. Although this dream is difficult to achieve, when they personally entered the military camp and saw the soldiers training, a sense of pride surged in their hearts.

Chen Xin and his companions stayed there, and Zhang Liang also stayed there to escort a few people back.

The army also has land, but there are few things that can be grown there, and if they can be grown, it is only for one season, so it is left barren most of the time.

Zhao Mingyuan sent people to County Magistrate Yao and borrowed most of the bandits from the prison. He asked them to plow the soil first, and then plant potato seedlings under the guidance of Chen Xin and others.

The bandits complained bitterly. Since they became bandits, they were used to robbing and taking what was available. Even if they lived in the county jail, they would just eat and wait for death.

At least they didn't do any physical labor. At most, they would be taken away by the yamen runners and tortured.

It’s nothing like now, where we have to carry a hoe and plow the soil every day. If we work a little slowly, we get beaten by the border soldiers. It’s like being tortured.

They dared not refuse to do their job. If they did, they would be whipped and not given food.

Some of the arrogant bosses and second-in-commands, who used to be the top figures in the mountain stronghold, tried to challenge the authority of the border troops, but ended up almost starving to death. They didn't care about being arrogant anymore.

He is so grateful even if he is given a steamed bun, and he no longer has any pride.

Seeing that the boss was such a coward, the younger ones had no courage to fight back and just plowed the fields obediently.

The bandits in the county government office were all taken away by the border troops. The county government jail became much emptier, which also saved the county government a lot of food. County Magistrate Yao was so happy that he danced with joy.

This young general is really considerate of his subordinates.

Under the guidance of Chen Xin and others, the bandits planted the potato seedlings honestly and had to fetch water to water them. They were so tired that they collapsed on the ground like dead dogs.

Chen Xin and others secretly admired Zhao Mingyuan's strategy of making the best use of the bandits' manpower.

It not only saves the border troops' physical strength, but also completes the work smoothly, and they don't have to feed the bandits well. It really kills three birds with one stone.

Tsk tsk tsk, look how tired these bandits are, they deserve it!
