Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

This kind of blow was something Ye Junyuan had never encountered before.

So he has been hiding in the backyard for the past six months, drinking every day to relieve his depression.

He often drinks himself unconscious.

At the beginning, Xia Liuer would give him some advice, trying to encourage him to cheer up, pass the imperial examination, and slap those people in the face.

But every time she went there, the drunk Ye Junyuan would curse her endlessly and sometimes even throw things at her.

It seemed as if all his current misfortunes were due to Xia Liuer.

After a long time, Xia Liuer stopped going there.

The two people who were originally in love also had a rift because of this.

Do you think Ye Jun is willing to cheer up? He wants it more than anyone else.

Of course he knew that if one day he could pass the imperial examination, he would be proud and slap everyone in the face.

But at the same time, he also knew that he would not pass the exam.

From childhood to adulthood, his knowledge and resources were all accumulated by Sirong with money.

When he was young, his teacher asked him to write big characters, so Ye Junhao worked very hard and practiced calligraphy one piece after another.

The Master asked him to write ten essays, and he wrote twenty.

Because his hands hurt from practicing calligraphy, he went to the old lady with his wrist in his arms and cried to her.

Naturally, the old lady didn't let him write, saying that the child was too young and his wrists had not yet grown, so he couldn't practice calligraphy so hard.

Finally, Sirong was forced into a corner and promised him many toys and taught him how to write personally, which helped him to perfect his calligraphy.

This was also the greatest hardship he had to endure for his studies.

As for those historical books and classics, his ability to comprehension was extremely poor. It was all thanks to the various teachers hired by Sirong at a high price who helped him analyze and recite them day and night that he achieved his current results.

It can be said that the resources Sirong invested in him could be easily replaced by someone who cannot read or write.

Even if he is a farmer's son or a servant in the mansion, he can help Sirong pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

All I can say is that Ye Junyuan had a very smooth life in the first twenty years.

Now that he has hit rock bottom, he cannot accept this reality.

For this result, he could only blame others, blaming Sirong for not being his biological mother and Lin Ruxue for seducing his father.

He blamed Xia Liuer for being so lowly as to seduce him. In short, he blamed everyone except himself.

Of course, he also cheered up when his father went to the border this time.

Get yourself ready, attend some poetry readings, and exchange ideas with those literati.

After all, not all literati are upright and noble and want to draw a line between themselves and him.

There are also some people who would get to know him because of his status as the son of a general.

As for what these people's purpose is and what their character is like, it is hard to say.

Sirong and Yanyan didn't care what the Ye family did.

The two of them are very busy now.

This time, Ye Junhao was the grain escort officer, responsible for delivering grain and fodder to the border.

Sirong and Yanyan have to ensure their food and other logistical needs.

If nothing else, Sirong and Yanyan cannot be ignored just for the sake of the people living on the border.

Before Sirong traveled through time, she was a young lady from a general's mansion and a general of the Zhenbei Army.

She didn't want the soldiers to go to the battlefield without enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear.

As a modern person, Yanyan has never experienced war and cannot accept these things.

After all, we are children who grew up under the red flag, so we must have the necessary awareness.

Furthermore, the emperor handed the food and grass issue over to Sijia.

The enemy's invasion came too suddenly, and there was not enough food in the national treasury, so the Ministry of Revenue had to pay money and Sijia helped to collect food and fodder.

Sijia has a complete caravan, and can easily obtain food and transport it from shops in various places.

In addition, every time something like this happened, Sijia would donate a batch of food and fodder.

It was probably about half of the silver given by the court.

That is to say, if the silver provided by the court could buy 100,000 kilograms of grain, then Sijia would send 150,000 kilograms to the border.

The extra part was considered as Sijia's donation to the court.

This is also the reason why the emperor likes and favors Si Jiaren so much.

People can get along well with their families, and they really help when something happens.

They made a lot of money, but when the court had problems, they also spent a lot of money.

This is no more sensible than other imperial merchants, and the emperor does not have to worry that their wealth will grow and become an aristocratic family that will shake the court.

Even if there was no war, homesickness would find a reason to contribute a sum of money to the court in a few years.

The main point is that the emperor is not allowed to kill the New Year pig.

Whenever I think of them missing home, I always want to feed them a little more.

Sirong took charge of the task of raising food and fodder this time.

Some time ago, Sijia helped a lot with her divorce.

Of course, Sirong also wants to repay the original owner's family's love.

And with the existence of space, it would be easier for her to transport food and other things.

Then there was Yanyan, who had never seen an ancient battlefield, and she wanted to go with us to see it.

Of course you have to pamper your best friend.

After everything was ready, they set off for the border.

Along the way, Yanyan saw all kinds of ancient scenery and also learned to ride a horse.

After a large amount of food and fodder was delivered to the army, Sirong and Yanyan stayed in a small border town and started doing business with the surrounding herdsmen.

This practice itself was illegal, but Sirong sent a secret letter to the emperor.

The importance of opening up trade at the border was explained.

For example, we can exchange good horses with herdsmen, or we can slowly assimilate their living habits.

For example, it can be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver to be used as military rations.

In short, the emperor was convinced by her.

The secret letter sent back told Sirong that the two countries were still at war and the establishment of diplomatic relations would only happen after the war.

However, the emperor allowed her to secretly trade with the small tribe over there, so it was not considered as collaborating with the enemy.

With the emperor's guarantee, Sirong and Yanyan began to practice.

They began to trade quietly with the surrounding small tribes.

They will not be given horses. If they are discovered by the larger tribe, they will be in danger of being exterminated.

But they were willing to exchange their cattle, sheep and Sirong and the others for tea bricks, salt and those exquisite tableware.

These are too scarce for their tribe.

Sirong traded another batch of wool with them.

Cotton was not yet popular in this dynasty, and wealthy families would wear silk cotton as winter clothes.

The main raw materials for making it are leftover cocoons and floating silk on the surface of cocoon shells, which are made through processes such as refining, dissolving sericin, and loosening fibers.

High-quality silk threads are woven into silk cloth.

The poor used linen to sew things like paper fur inside their clothes to survive the winter.

Paper fur coats are made of paper materials such as mulberry bark. They are soft, thick, and inexpensive, making them suitable for poor people to wear in winter.

Most of the soldiers' uniforms are made of this material.

This is also the main reason why the soldiers here cannot defeat the enemy troops grazing on the other side of the border.
