Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chai Zhen and Guo Guo were sleeping in the space, having a good sleep.

The wounded were munching on carrots, "Delicious!" They were eating carrots like fruit. Everyone had one, and no one had a fever. The military doctor woke up from a nap and first checked on the wounded, asking, "Are you feeling unwell?" No one had a fever, just pain. But it didn't feel severe. They felt much better overnight. People kept offering water. Little did they know, it was all spiritual spring water. How could it cause a fever? It could only make them feel better faster! They'd been drinking spiritual spring water for over twenty days, so it was strange if they weren't feeling well! Someone said, "I feel very healthy and energetic. I feel refreshed after a good sleep." Many people responded, and Huotoujun said, "Of course, I eat a lot of delicious white rice and meat dishes every meal, and the vegetables are fresh and filling. How can I not be healthy?" "Not many people died in this battle, and the seriously injured are still alive. I heard that there are arrangements. Those who can't go to the battlefield will be given money to go home, and those who have no family will go with the Chai family. I heard that the people there live like in Taohuayuan. They can eat and sleep well every day and have work to do. The most important thing is that if they are sick, they don't have to pay, and they will see a doctor! The village also distributes money, and every family has surplus food and money. I will go to Taohua Village when I retire." "Is it really that good!" "If you don't believe it, you can ask the fourth brother. People call him the fourth brother. He fought with our deputy general and won. He is good at martial arts! There are eighteen or nineteen people from their village. There is also a little girl who is the little bean who came yesterday." "Isn't that a baby?" That child is no ordinary person, a medical expert. Even though he's young, he's learned a lot and knows a lot. He taught the wounded how to sew up. I heard there's a good doctor who teaches children medicine starting at five years old. This child is smart and learns early.

"A child prodigy!" "That's right."

In the space, Little Milk Bag was making steamed buns. He'd made so many he'd made, but there was nowhere to put them. It was almost dark, so Guoguo left the space and found Chai Zhen. He took out baskets of big, white, plump buns. Chai Zhen picked one up and ate it. "Delicious! Even better than my great-grandfather's. I'll get someone to move them. You take a break, Guoguo." "Yes. Guoguo knows." Little Milk Bag sat on the ground. He stared at the sky, his consciousness rising into the air, and he could tell everything within a hundred miles. The enemy was close. Their tents were in disarray. There wouldn't be any more fighting for the next few days. Little Milk Bag was anxious to build a greenhouse; she'd already picked out the land. ...

All the buns were moved away. Xiao Nai packed them up and found Huo Ying, "Auntie, let's build a greenhouse. Guoguo is leaving soon. We have to build the greenhouse anyway and plant vegetables so that the soldiers can have something to eat." Huo Ying: "How many people do you need? A hundred people, the more the better. There won't be any fighting for a few days." Huo Ying said, "Send out 200 people first. It will be easier to work with more people." "That's right! Send someone early tomorrow morning. Remember to ask who can build houses and plant vegetables, and give them priority." Huo Ying said, "Okay, if we send out 200 people, we will have vegetables to eat. This is easy. There are people, so there is no shortage of people." After that, she hurried to find people.

For dinner, all the soldiers drank millet porridge. The thick, yellow porridge was filled with carrots and pumpkin. You could eat as much as you wanted, and you could make more if it wasn't enough. Chai Zhen asked the people he brought with him this time to be considered their squad to carry the buns to the kitchen door, line them up in a row, and eat as much as you wanted. Since Chai Zhen and his men came, the soldiers had full meals every day and ate well. There was meat every day. Although it wasn't big fish or meat, there was a lot of meat. The seriously injured soldiers had more meat and vegetables. The fourth brother asked the fireman to bake leavened bread. The steamed buns made of two kinds of flour were fragrant and soft. We also learned how to cook in a big pot, and now we eat it often. As the fourth brother said, food is provided for everyone. In our hometown, everyone's family has reclaimed wasteland and planted a lot of food, so we can still feed 100,000 soldiers.

The fourth brother said, "Let's make mutton soup tonight, and those on night shift can drink as much as they want." The fourth brother and Sun Quan were in charge of making the soup. The same cannot be said of the people they brought with them, except for Little Milk Bag. Little Milk Bag also worked a lot, and some things were invisible to others, but he did no less than the adults. All seventy-one people actively participated in labor, and they were everywhere in the battlefield logistics. The fourth brother appointed himself the team leader, and Sun Quan was the deputy team leader. Chai Zhen was the military advisor, and Guo Guo was the staff officer. It was like setting up an independent division headquarters, and they fought bravely and were very strong in martial arts. Especially raids, which were their strongest point. Originally, they wanted to raid the enemy's rear, but the general took into account that they had just arrived and had no professional training, and they were not soldiers, so they could not do this. The general thought that he would tell them about their deeds later.

Report to the Emperor and commend the Taohua villagers for their full support! Second Uncle wouldn't let him. These were all things they wanted to do, and the Taohua villagers volunteered, not wanting to be officials, so they didn't consider letting the Emperor know about this good thing.

Little Naibao was in the room, steaming buns. Chai Zhen then went in to work, but he didn't let Guoguo do anything, fearing that the child would be tired. The child was still too young, so he let her play on the side.

A huge fire burned in the courtyard, churning out dozens of layers of steamed buns. Made with both cornmeal and white flour, the buns, stuffed with white radish and meat, were plump, golden, soft, glutinous, and sweet, with a fresh, fragrant flavor. Xia Nai Bao bought a dough mixer and could make a bag of dough in half an hour—very fast. Little Nai Bao, having played enough, went to make buns too. His buns were incredibly beautiful. A hundred thousand soldiers would need a lot of food. Guo Guo and Chai Zhen steamed them all for nearly a day, exhausted. Little Nai Bao carried all the buns out of the space, and the fourth brother moved them out of the house, allowing everyone else to carry them out. Baskets of large, white, and plump buns were shipped out, and the soldiers, feeling well after training, didn't complain. The lightly wounded had recovered, and the seriously wounded were able to walk. The casualties in this battle were minimal, only a few dozen, while the enemy suffered many more casualties, with scouts reporting tens of thousands.

Analysis of the Central Military Account:

During this battle, someone said, "Not a single enemy was left in the rear; they were all dead. Over a thousand of them!" A proposal was made to reward the fourth soldier, Chai Jiayu, and his squad. The soldiers affectionately called them the "People's Squad," a symbol of the support of the families in the rear! The military and civilians were united.

None of the officers and generals had a bad word to say about the "common people's team." They were all skilled in martial arts, and quite good at it! Some, in their free time, would pester others to teach them. Officers and soldiers alike were learning, and the fifteen impromptu villagers became masters. Besides their work, they were also teaching martial arts. Then, the fourth elder suggested, "Let the squad leaders learn. Once they've mastered it, the squads can learn it together, and the overall combat effectiveness will improve." Everyone accepted the fourth elder's suggestion, and the crowds were finally relieved. There were hundreds of squad leaders already. ...
