Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father
Chapter 87: Bringing a Girlfriend into a Book 18
Ye Junhao still did not stay to work for the emperor. He volunteered to go to the border and be a small county magistrate, a seventh-rank official.
The climate on the border is harsh and the land is barren, so not much can be grown year-round.
It is a position that many officials are reluctant to go to.
In previous years' official evaluations, those with the worst performance or those who had offended others would be sent here.
Once you get here, you just have to endure it. Either your family has connections or you have money, otherwise don't even think about being transferred back.
There are troops stationed at the border all year round, and the people living here, except for some fur traders, are mostly exiled criminals and military households.
All year round, we are either clearing land or on the way to clear land.
After finally gathering grain, the enemy tribe came to rob them, and the food was gone. The cultivated land was also trampled flat by horses.
But Ye Junhao wanted to go. He had been guarding the border here for many years and had become accustomed to the wind and sand here, and the straightforward customs of the people.
He really wasn't used to the twists and turns in the capital. In his opinion, instead of spending time fighting, it would be better to do something practical.
This time, the Third Prince led his troops and attacked the enemy's royal court and tent, completely bringing the enemy country into our territory.
In other words, the nomadic herders who make a living now will also be citizens of our country in the future.
The imperial court will send many people to govern and educate them. Ye Junhao understands the local people's conditions and can better communicate and manage with the people here.
Regarding these, Sirong and Yanyan gave Ye Junhao a lot of suggestions. The three of them wrote a plan overnight and handed it to the emperor the next day.
In the end, the emperor agreed to Ye Junhao's request.
At the same time, many officials were sent there to govern.
Sirong and Yanyan of course went with Ye Junhao to take up the post.
In the days that followed, they settled down here.
Ten years later, this small border town has changed dramatically.
The city has the largest fur and horse trading market in the country, with countless merchants coming and going every day.
They would transport all kinds of exquisite porcelain, tea, and cloth from all over the country.
Then exchange them here for furs, horses, cattle and sheep.
The city is no longer filled with dilapidated low-rise earthen houses. The wide streets are lined with rows of two-story buildings.
Most of them are inns and hotels, mainly because there are too many merchants coming here to do business.
Most of them stay here for three to five days and leave when the transaction is completed.
It’s not cost-effective to buy a house here, and you have to hire someone to take care of it and clean it.
At the beginning, they all stayed in the homes of local residents and left some belongings behind when they left.
Sirong and Yanyan, two people from later generations, of course immediately discovered the business opportunity.
This commercial street was created, and all the properties on this street belong to Sijia.
Local people can go to the government with their household registration to apply for a business license, and then use half of the rent to open a shop here.
Of course, the service must be managed in a unified manner, beating or scolding guests is not allowed, and registration is required when staying in the hotel.
At the end of every month, government officials would come to collect the hotel registration books.
The registration book should include the guest's travel pass information, the reason for their visit, the day they arrived and the day they left, so that the government can easily count the visiting tourists.
If you walk along the commercial street to the end, you will see a huge trading market.
In the past few years, Sirong and Yanyan have developed cement. Sirong has the recipe, and all they need to do is experiment repeatedly and adjust the proportions.
Although it is not exactly the same as the large farmers' markets in later generations, it is built similarly.
The house is built very high, with a large entrance and a planned area inside where horses, cattle and sheep can be brought in for trading.
Nomadic herders no longer have to come and rob food and fodder every year when it snows.
They can bring their cattle and sheep here in exchange for food and supplies for the winter.
Ye Junhao used the taxes collected every year to build houses for them in the town.
Like an inn, herders who want to stay here for the winter can register with the government with their household registration and spend very little money to stay here until the spring when the grass and pasture grow.
Yanyan lived in this world until she was over seventy years old.
This was considered a sign of longevity in ancient times.
Ye Junhao died at the age of 69 due to injuries he suffered on the battlefield.
Yanyan was very sad, but fortunately she had the company of Sirong and the children, which helped her to persevere.
As early as when Sirong was almost seventy years old, she returned to live in the space.
After all, she is Yanyan's mother-in-law, and is twenty years older than Yanyan.
It’s not impossible for her to live outside, but she will be treated like an old lady wherever she goes.
Sirong also had to cooperate and imitate the old man's weak posture, which was really tiring.
Moreover, the old Sirong's appearance had not changed much, and she was afraid that people would become suspicious, so she simply went back to the space to study alchemy and farming.
After Ye Junhao left, Sirong moved into Yanyan's room.
During the day, Yanyan goes out to live, and at night, Sirong brings her in.
Yanyan can't enter the thatched hut in the space, but she can enter any other place except there.
Over the years, Ye Junhao also taught Yanyan some self-defense techniques.
Although I haven't practiced martial arts since childhood, it's good to keep fit.
Ye Junhao and Yanyan have always had a good relationship, and he will spend his whole life with her alone.
No matter how people outside teased him, he never thought of taking a concubine.
There was plenty of spiritual energy in the space, and Sirong taught Yanyan some breathing and meditation techniques.
The two sisters planted many plants, vegetables, fruits, and grains in the space.
If you see a new species, try planting it, or use the space to upgrade local plant seeds.
This will allow them to produce more in the future.
After leaving this world, Sirong did not return to her original world.
Instead, she and Yanyan returned to the modern world where they lived.
As soon as she entered this world, the intelligent computer issued an alarm to Sirong.
571 said to Sirong anxiously.
[Host, I may be about to cut off contact with you. The laws of this world are rejecting me.
I guess God will block me soon.
You should take out some weapons from the space first. I guess there will be problems with the space soon.
He taught Yanyan the Concentration Technique. This world was upgrading, and he wanted other species to rule the new world.
Humanity will be in great danger and there is a possibility of extinction, so you must be careful.
Whether you can find a chance to survive depends on you.
571 said this, and there was no more sound.
Sirong called her many times, but there was no response. It seemed that she was blocked.
Sure enough, I couldn’t enter the space either.
Fortunately, when 571 was talking to her just now, Sirong took out two packs of weapons reflexively while listening to her.
