Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

In the capital, Ye Heng waited for a long time for the arrival of the Taohua Village people. This day, he went to see the emperor again and said, "I want to go to Taohua Village in person. There is a doctor with good medical skills there. Tell your brother that I will be back soon." The emperor said: "You arrange the affairs of the court and go and come back quickly. Be careful on this trip." Ye Heng: "I know." Ye Heng also asked the chief steward Xiao Mazi to take good care of the emperor before returning to his own palace.

Ye Heng called the butler over, and asked him to load a few more carts of glass. He was to wait at the south city gate at dawn, and to pack a few sets of glass kitchenware. Ye Wenren turned and went out to do his work. "Dahua?" The secret guard Dahua appeared. "Master." Ye Heng said, "Go and inform the children I found a few days ago and the secret guards I'm training to go to Taohua Village. Tomorrow morning, leave through the south gate outside the city, and follow quietly. The children can be arranged in carriages, and the older ones can ride horses. They will go in batches. This time, there will be a thousand people, and they must bring their own bedding." Dahua turned and went to make the announcement. Ye Heng also informed the Imperial Guards who had gone to Taohua Village last time, and told them to keep the operation secret and not to tell anyone about it. Someone from the Imperial Guards asked, "Your Highness, my family would like to move there. Is that okay?" Ye Heng said, "Not this time. We will make our own arrangements later. We will go quietly as a family and not tell anyone about this place." "I understand. I will remember this." Ye Heng did not tell the Imperial Guards where they were going, keeping the operation secret.

Secretly arrange for secret guards to disperse out of the city gates and reunite in Taohua County. This time, they will set out together, both openly and covertly. ...

The next day, Ye Heng and his steward reunited outside the city gates and headed for Taohua Village. The Imperial Guards followed, splitting up into four directions once outside the city gates, taking a detour back to Taohua Village. The various factions, unsure of where to go, returned home to ask their masters, who then had them follow them everywhere, slowing things down considerably. Ma Mingrui dispatched numerous experts to assassinate Ye Heng. ...

We followed him all the way to Pingjin Prefecture and found where Ye Heng went. When we were about to reach Taohua County, we encountered the Imperial Guards. When assassins appeared, men in black appeared. These were all well-trained masters. There were not many high-ranking Imperial Guards. In less than half an hour, only half of them were left. They were all dead. The leader of the Imperial Guards sent someone to notify the county magistrate and bring the soldiers. When Zhang Qingshan brought his men, there were no survivors. They could only arrange for a carriage to take everyone back to the yamen. Not many men in black died. Most of them were Imperial Guards. The yamen runners saw so many people dead and blood flowing like a river. The yamen runners who had been to the battlefield were not afraid, but those who had not been to the battlefield were trembling. They had to work even if they were trembling.

Zhang Qingshan was busy all day with the dead bodies, and he couldn't handle it. They were all soldiers from the Great Yan Kingdom. He immediately wrote a letter and sent a fast horse to report it urgently over a distance of 600 miles.

Ye Heng arrived at Taohua Village, where the secret guards led the group to the north courtyard. Jiale arranged accommodations. The children took turns taking hot baths. The veterans prepared a meal, and the children ate and rested first. Bedding was provided, which made Jiale's worries much easier. Some of the children were only three years old, both boys and girls. They had no names, but rather numerical designations, ranging from one, two, three, and so on up to a thousand. The list was with the secret guard leader.

Ye Heng: "Dahua, stay here for now. I'll take you deep into the woods for training later. Don't disturb anyone." Dahua: "I'll remember that." "Go ahead. You should rest for two days as well. Protect this village." "I'll take my leave."

Ye Heng went to Chai Zhen's room. "Second uncle, hello." Chai Zhen stood up and saluted. "I'm fine, I wonder how Your Highness is?" Ye Heng supported Chai Zhen and said, "Second uncle, please sit down. Just treat me as a junior. I came here on an urgent matter, in a hurry. My brother is seriously ill. I've been wanting to come here, but now disaster has struck. Alas!" Chai Zhen listened and said, "If there's anything I can do, Your Highness, please tell me." Ye Heng asked, "Is Doctor Chen Jun still here?" Chai Zhen said, "Yes, he's teaching medicine to the children in the school. I'll go get him." He stood up and... Ye Heng said, "Wait a little while until they come back." Chai Zhen sat down. He poured tea for Ye Heng. Seeing the tea, Ye Heng stood up and went to the carriage... Little Milk Bag was watching the carriage unloading the things. Ye Heng walked over and said, "Sister Guoguo, why are you silent when you see Brother Ye?" Little Milk Bag said, "Ah," as if she had just realized something. She said, "Brother Ye, who said that? Guoguo misses you all the time!" She stretched out her little hand for a hug. Ye Heng laughed heartily, bent down and picked up Guo Guo, saying, "You're still a little money-grubber. Brother Ye misses you too, alas, it's just that I'm an adult now and very busy. But I've had your mansion built for you. It's still in the same place, still on Wangfujing Street. This time it's even better, with a new-style house. You'll like it when you see it." Little Milk Bag: "Thank you, Brother Ye." Little Milk Bag hugged Ye Heng tightly and wouldn't let go. He put his arm around Ye Heng's neck and asked, "What did Brother Ye bring for Guo Guo this time?" Ye Heng: "Well, there are glass and newly developed tea sets. Brother Ye is here to get the tea sets." Little Milk Bag: "Okay! Put me down."

Ye Heng found the tea sets, ten in total. A housekeeper's work was trustworthy. Ye Heng had someone bring them to Chai Zhen's room. He unpacked a set and placed it on the table. Little Milk Bag looked at it. "So beautiful! Such ancient wisdom!" Ye Heng said, "Huh?!" He didn't ask any more questions. Chai Zhen glanced at Guo Guo, understanding. "Oh,..."

Hehe. He let something slip. He began to admire the tea set. Ye Heng said, "Second uncle, this was produced by the glass factory we opened together and has been sold abroad. Guess how much this tea set costs?" Chai Zhen: "I can't guess." Ye Heng didn't keep him in suspense and said, "This tea set includes tea bowls, teapots, tea trays, and spoons. One thousand taels of silver is the price we paid for it. Merchants resell it for even more. It is said that it can be auctioned for ten thousand taels of silver. However, it is not easy to make and there are only a few of them now." Little Milk Bag took out a set of ice crack tea bowls and put them on the table, saying, "Brother Ye, look at this set of tea bowls. This is called ice crack. Even better!" Little Milk Bag took out a thickened glass basin. Ye Heng's eyes widened and he was stunned! Little Milk Bag: "This one is even harder to make. You can take it and try it out to see if you can make it." Ye Heng: "Okay!" The table looked even more exquisite. Little Milk Bag: "You can't add boiling water. Let it cool down a bit before adding it. When it comes to tea sets, ceramic is the best. Boiling water is fine. Glass tea sets are for drinking cold drinks." "Cold drinks?!" Ye Heng asked. Little Milk Bag: "Yeah, it's just cold fruit juice. Fruit water is delicious." "Brother Ye, wait a moment."

After a while, Little Milk Bag came in with two cups of cold drinks and said, "Grandpa, Brother Ye, one for each of you. Try it!"

Chai Zhen took a sip. "It's sour and sweet, really delicious," he sipped slowly. Ye Heng: "Mine is slightly sour and sweet." Little Milk Bag: "Brother Ye had bayberry juice, and Great Grandpa had lemon strawberry. This is fruit juice. Perfect for summer!" Ye Heng: "Yes, it's cool and refreshing. Now I don't feel hot inside anymore." ...

Without saying a word, Zhang Qingshan from the county magistrate placed all four people together and had them under surveillance. He then rode back to Taohua Village to discuss what to do with Chai Zhen. He happened to see Ye Heng, and knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door, "I am late, please forgive me, Your Highness." Ye Heng: "What has Lord Zhang done wrong? Stand up and sit down to talk." "Yes, Your Highness, I hurried back to discuss something with my second uncle. When Your Highness came, I told Your Highness." Ye Heng: "Just tell me whatever you want." Zhang Qingshan: "I received a call for help this morning. Nearly a thousand soldiers died more than ten miles outside the county, almost the same as the Imperial Guards who came last time." Before he finished speaking, Ye Heng said, "Are you sure it was the Imperial Guards?" "Yes, Your Highness. I led people there myself, but when we got there, we didn't see a single living person." Ye Heng: "Where are all the people now?" "I took them all back to the county government office. I came here to find a way to release these soldiers. It's too hot..." Little Milk Bag heard this and said, "Find some ice. If it's cold, the bodies won't rot." Zhang Qingshan said with a bitter face, "It's not that we don't have ice!" Little Milk Bag: "No problem. Grandpa Zhang, go get some saltpeter." Zhang Qingshan: "Saltpeter?" Zhang Qingshan didn't know what it was. Ye Heng knew: "Sister Guoguo, is saltpeter useful?" Little Milk Bag: "Saltpeter can be used to make ice. With ice, the body won't rot." Ye Heng: "I'll take care of it." After saying that, he went out.

As night fell, several carts of saltpeter arrived. "Have them smashed. Get some water!" Little Milkbag began to work, and everyone watched as the water turned to ice, a chill that pierced the air. "This? This? This!" Zhang Qingshan watched, unable to form a complete sentence. He wondered how a child like Guoguo could know this. Little Milkbag replied, "I've seen a book about making ice from saltpeter." Ye Heng didn't ask any more questions, knowing Guoguo's abilities. He said, "Master Zhang, quickly take it to the county government office and secure the body." "Okay, I'll be right there." Several carts of saltpeter followed Zhang Qingshan away.

Ye Heng realized that the Imperial Guards he had sent had been killed. This explained why he hadn't received any response from his previous attempts. Ye Heng went to find the secret guards. "Go and see how many have died. Check to see if you've found anything. Bring a few more people with you." The secret guards replied, "Okay."

After dinner, Ye Heng found Chen Jun and said, "I heard that you are a good doctor. I would like to invite you to visit the capital." Chen Jun said, "Your Highness has something to do. I will do my best. When can I leave?" Ye Heng was worried that something might happen here, so he said, "Stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning." Chen Jun said, "Okay, I'll go find some herbs right away." Ye Heng said, "Go ahead."

Chai Zhen, Guoguo and Ye Heng were in the same room. Outside, secret guards were standing guard. Ye Heng said, "Uncle, I will leave early tomorrow and cannot stay any longer. My brother is seriously ill and the state affairs of Great Yan are in a difficult situation. I cannot accompany you any longer." Chai Zhen: "I understand. Your Highness, please do what you should do. My family will also do our best." Ye Heng: "Okay, uncle, I believe you." Little Milk Bag asked, "What happened to Uncle Huang?" Ye Heng thought of Guoguo's ability, paused, and said, "After the earthquake, my brother was injured. It was not serious at first, but the more he was treated, the worse it became. All the doctors could not find any problems. I thought of Chen Jun. I sent people many times, but there was no response. That's why I came here specially this time. I also encountered several assassination attempts on the way. I know someone tried to stop me. Hey!" Little Milk Bag thought about it. She had to see it with her own eyes! She looked at Chai Zhen and said, "Grandpa, let's go to the capital. Guoguo's land is there too!" Chai Zhen said, "The watermelons are almost ripe." Little Milk Bag: Let Brother Li Biaotou take him to the capital, and we'll leave first." Chai Zhen: "Okay, I'll go tell the village chief right away."
