Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Half a month later, Ye Heng's secret guards arrived, and Ye Heng dispatched them to investigate. They quickly uncovered espionage within the government offices of both prefectures. Ye Heng ordered the men brought to justice to be executed, and their families exiled to work on the canal. Adults and children were also sent away. The government offices were cleaned up. Ye Heng sent a letter to the capital, dispatching new personnel to take over the administration.

There is still a corrupt official in the court, and Ye Heng needs to go back and deal with it.

After nearly a month in the East China Sea, it was time to go back. Guoguo looked at the crops in the fields and realized it was time to harvest them. He told Yeheng to plant winter wheat. "Well, Guoguo, leave some seeds." The fourth brother said, "We have some cleared land too, so we can leave some seeds there too." Guoguo: "Okay." Yeheng: "Dad and eldest brother will come back this time." The fourth brother said, "Okay, but I need to ask my brothers." Guoguo: "Uncle Sun Quan." "Yes."

The fourth brother came back soon, and Sun Quan followed. Ye Heng: "Uncle Sun, my father and eldest brother are going back to the capital. What do you think?" Sun Quan: "The fourth brother told me. There is no war to fight here for the time being, so I will go back to take a look." "Okay, you will follow my father back to Xiaowangzhuang to train the navy. The official positions are all fourth-rank officials. This is the temporary arrangement, and you can be promoted when there is a chance." Sun Quan: "Okay, I will listen to the arrangements of the prince." The fourth brother: "No matter what rank he is, it's boring without a war to fight. Go home and have children and accompany your wife." Ye Heng was helpless. His father was just like that. Guoguo: "Train in peacetime so that you will be able to fight in case of a war."

Sun Quan: "Yes, Guoguo is right, you, the fourth brother, are not as good as my niece." The fourth brother chuckled, "I understand. We can't be separated. We fight together." "That's right, father and son fight together! We are brothers." "That's right." Guoguo: "So, Uncle Sun and my father are arranged together."

Ye Heng: "Yes, I just want to take care of you. Quan Shu is more thoughtful than my father, I am grateful for your help." Sun Quan: "Haha, we take care of each other." Hehe.

Ye Heng: "I'll be back in two days, get ready." Sun Quan: "Okay, I'm going back." "Okay." The fourth brother sent Sun Quan off. The fourth brother said: "Go back, my wife is sick, Guoguo said it. She's sick from missing me for so long, I don't remember what it is. Go home to be with my wife and children," the fourth brother whispered, "I also want to have a daughter." "Okay, you're stronger than me, give birth! I'm going home to give birth too." The fourth brother laughed heartily, leaving the surrounding soldiers stunned.

The next day, Ye Heng convened a meeting with several generals in attendance. Ye Heng sat in the main seat and said, "Chai Jiayu and Sun Quan are returning to the capital to take up their posts. Chai Jingren is also leaving. The generals here will stay if they have nothing else to do. Huo Yingdong will be the governor-general. General Li will be the deputy governor-general. I will leave you two here to garrison."

Ye Heng continued, "The supplies we brought this time include quilts, military uniforms, and daily necessities. You can check them yourselves. We brought ten carts of glass, which is more than enough for you. We can sell it at a low price and save it for the army's daily expenses. We also brought twenty carts of coal. You can't sell this. You can use it to keep yourself warm in the winter. The warehouse is full of eggs, meat, and vegetables. You can build a greenhouse on the wasteland and grow vegetables in the winter." Lieutenant General Li said, "We have a greenhouse now. We can indeed grow vegetables in the winter."

Ye Heng: "I'll bring you some straw fans so you don't have to weave them yourself. I'll also leave you some seeds. Now that the crops are harvested, you can plow the land and plant winter wheat. There's no time to stop. Once the grain is harvested, plow the land and plant wheat." General Huo: "Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Heng: "The main thing is to guard the coast. We just need to open up less wasteland to feed you. We will send you food next year. You have worked hard during this period. Now that we are not short of food, we can eat three meals a day, breakfast, noon and night." General Huo: "Yes. We saw that there was not much food and were worried that we would not be able to get it, so we had two meals a day. We will not do that in the future. Soldiers are our brothers, we understand." "Okay. Tell me if you have anything to say. If you have any difficulties after I leave, send a letter back. The palace or the Chai Mansion will be fine." General Huo: "Okay."

Ye Heng: "Also, you are to supervise the affairs of the people in the two prefectures. If there is anything, please write back or handle it yourself. Although I have sent people to investigate, I still don't know as much as you do."

General Li: "Okay. We are just concerned about the safety of the East China Sea. The two governments are close to each other, so we need to work together for defense." Ye Heng: "You two will supervise the two governments. This is your responsibility. The two governments are under the jurisdiction of Governor Huo, and Lieutenant General Li will assist you." The two generals stood up and said, "Yes." Everything was arranged.

"Have some tea, try it, how is the tea I brought?" General Huo: "Well, it tastes good, with a long-lasting aroma and a lingering aftertaste, it's good tea!" Lieutenant General Li also picked up the teacup and drank it in big gulps, "I only know it tastes good!" Haha.

Ye Heng added, "There are a lot of vegetables and fruits in the warehouse. Remember to eat them with the soldiers before they go bad. Beef, mutton, and pork, eat them quickly. It's hot, do you have a cellar? Let's keep the food cool." Lieutenant General Li said, "Yes, I'll ask someone to move it to the cellar." Ye Heng said, "Okay, each person can eat two eggs a day. After that, you can feed the chickens yourself. I'll leave some chickens for you to raise and eat the eggs." "Okay, okay!" Ye Heng said, standing up and walking out. "I'm going back. You guys can get busy."

The two generals looked at each other and laughed. Huo said, "There are three generals left now. We will have a heavy responsibility from now on." Lieutenant General Li said, "Well, let's go and check the warehouse first."

General Huo smiled and said, "Together." When the two saw that every warehouse was full, they were so happy that they were speechless.

"Too much! The prince has been so kind to us!" Lieutenant General Li said: "We will do our best to protect this place! To repay the prince for his kindness!" General Huo said: "Yes. We will defend this place until our death."

The two of them discussed the work and decided to move the vegetables and meat that could not be stored in the cellar first. They also arranged for people to build chicken fences and pig pens.

At night, Ye Heng looked around. Guo Guo had released thousands of chickens, hundreds of pigs, and dozens of cattle. They had fodder, mostly soybeans. Ye Heng notified General Huo to bring his men to collect the food.

Some soldiers said, "We will have no shortage of food from now on." Haha. The soldiers did not sleep all night to build the shed.

Two days later, the convoy set out. Twenty carts had already left, and ten more were following Ye Heng.

The fourth brother hugged several generals and said, "Let's meet in the capital from now on. I will welcome you." General Huo said, "Okay, okay. I don't want you to leave." Chai Jingren patted them on the shoulders and said, "Goodbye! You two should do your best."

General Huo: "You're free now." Huan Huan: "I'm going home to find a wife. I can't be alone forever." General Huo: "Yes, we both have children, but you don't even have a wife. Go back."

Ye Heng: "You guys build more houses. If anyone wants their family to come over, I can help you bring your family to live here when I come next year!" Huo Yingdong: "Okay, okay."

Ye Heng asked Mo Zun to drive, while Ye Heng and Guo Guo sat in the back, and Li Biaotou followed behind.

General Huo looked at the convoy and said, "Our Great Yan State has such a convoy. Neighboring countries can't compare!" General Li: "Yes."

Agriculture flourished, merchants increased, and caravans traveled north and south. People's lives became better.
