Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 627: The Chai family practices martial arts diligently and prepares for battle

For the past two days, Huanhuan, Hengheng, the fourth child, and Xiaochen have been practicing and competing in their family's martial arts arena. To improve their combat capabilities on the battlefield, the fourth child, who has been on the battlefield before, can offer some guidance. Yeheng also took time to discuss the emergencies often encountered in combat, and how to cope with them, turn disadvantages around, and gain a dominant position. Guoguo also came to practice, chuckling and saying, "To be a great general, it's not enough to be a martial arts expert; you also need strategy. Each of you will write a "Memorial to the Emperor" and a "Theory of Tactics." Xiaochen and Huangbao, you guys have read a lot of military books, right? I've given you a few as well. Whether your handwriting is good or not depends on what you write." The fourth child touched his chin and said, "This one's okay. I'll write it." Yeheng said, "We don't have much time left, so we'll stop here for today. Go back and write. This is also part of the assessment. Remember to be both civil and military!" He walked off with a laugh. He didn't need to take the exam himself. Guoguo looked at the smile on Yeheng's face. It had been a long time since she had seen such a smile. She took his arm and walked towards the front yard. Yeheng looked down at Guoguo. He had seen this before. Many people did it. Well, lovers do this!

I felt pretty good too. I walked along with laughter. The guards beside me looked at the prince and princess and whispered, "Man, look at how good our master and princess are. When I find a wife, I want to find a good one."

Another guard said, "Stand guard! Don't talk too much." "Yes, I know." At the Chai Mansion, two guards were standing guard not far away. There were patrols patrolling the mansion, checking and protecting the Chai Mansion!

There are many secrets to protect here! It is guarded as strictly as the palace!

After dinner, Ye Heng said, "Today I have to go to the military camp to watch the selection competition. Tomorrow I will take part in the palace examination. This time, the emperor will be in charge of the selection of generals in the court." Guoguo: "Such a big scene!" Ye Heng nodded. Guoguo took out the tiger bone wine and said, "Have a drink." Ye Heng smiled and said, "Okay." "Wait, I'll get you a sika deer and roast it for you. Deer blood is a good thing." Ye Heng laughed and said, "Don't need that. Roasted venison is good." "Drinking deer blood is good. It has a strong firepower!" Guoguo just talked and didn't pay attention to what he said. Ye Heng said in Guoguo's ear, "I will serve you well tonight. It will be better. Wait for me." After that, Ye Heng laughed and left! Guoguo thought about what she had just said, and combined with what Ye Heng said, her face turned red with embarrassment.

After dinner, Guoguo returned to her room and entered the space where she had Xiao Shunzi kill a sika deer. Guoguo collected the blood in a large basin, filtered it, and then placed it in a pot to preserve it, waiting to give it to the men.

Deer skin is also a good thing. The antler fruit is kept and used as a medicinal material. Stew it with venison and add plenty of chili peppers. Stew it in a big pot!

He then went to dry the deerskin and tan it into leather to make clothes for Ye Heng.

He worked for most of the day, then checked the granary. Over a hundred acres of wheat had been processed. Bags of flour were stored in the warehouse. The entire north wall was practically a granary. Besides the jade and wooden houses to the west, the warehouses stretched all the way to the east, all brimming with grain and treasures.

The second row has started to build houses. Xiaochen's warehouse is built in the second row. The big yard, salvaged from the sea

There are still treasures left, and they haven't been cleaned up yet. Guoguo saw it, but didn't have time to take care of it, so he asked Xiao Shunzi to clean it up. "Put them all in a bag for Huangbao and put them aside." "Okay, Master."

The large yard was quickly cleaned. Guoguo squatted down with a towel to wipe the floor. After cleaning the yard, she took a shower and changed into clean clothes. She refilled the pot with water, added firewood, and continued to stew the braised meat. The aroma filled the whole place! A few phoenixes came over. Guoguo saw them and said, "You guys have grown up! Do you want to eat?" "Li! Li!" Guoguo chuckled, "Wait. I'll let you try it when it's ready. Go play somewhere else!" "Li, Li!"

It flapped its wings and flew away. Guoguo looked at it and thought, “Great! It’s already learned to fly! It’s only been a short time!” Guoguo thought, “This is a divine bird! It’s unique.”

In a flash, Guoguo emerged from the space. She checked the warehouse and was shocked to find the oil drums empty. "Oh, the fleet is great, but it uses so much fuel! It's so expensive!" Guoguo's heart was bleeding! Heaven, earth! Guoguo held her heart in her hands and looked up at the sky! ... Enough of the frustration, but she still had to get to work. She continued to work.

Take out some soybeans and some peanut oil. Put them all in the warehouse. Put the empty bags and sacks in the storage area. Put all the baskets and other items in there. Put all the cotton in a warehouse to make cotton clothes.

Guoguo strolled to the clothing processing department. Chai Tao saw Guoguo and trotted to greet her, "Master, you are back?" "Yes, I came to see you." Chai Tao saluted and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master." Guoguo smiled and said, "Still busy!" "Well, our shop is doing well. The clothes we make can't keep up with the sales. We dare not stop." Guoguo asked, "Are the embroiderers from the palace still coming?" "Yes, we pay a lot, and there are more than 20 people coming every day. There can't be more, because the people in the palace also have to make clothes to wear, and the clothes of the officials are all from the palace." "Oh, so I see. It's okay for a few people to come and count on others." "Well, I have been training my own staff, and recruited several skilled people from the people. Now we have quite a few people joining here." "Well, you decide."

Guoguo looked at the clothes and asked, "Have you made any for family members?" Chai Tao replied, "Yes, I didn't make too many for each master in each season. I made two sets for each person, and they are all in the cabinet." "You do a good job, I have to make some, in case you come back to wear them. I can't do without them. It's a waste to make more, you can process them when needed." "Yeah, that's what I thought." "Take out my clothes and the clothes of Huangbao, Xiaochen, Xiaotian, and the prince, I'll take them." "Okay." One cabinet for the whole family, easy to find. Soon Chai Tao brought out all the clothes Guoguo wanted. "Master, they are all here." "Find someone to take them away." "Okay." Guoguo sighed, "The New Year is coming soon, and each master needs to make a set of New Year clothes. They should be expensive and low-key. They should be worn inside and outside." "Okay, I have the measurements here. Okay, I'll arrange for someone to start processing right away."

Guoguo said again, "Let's go to the machine processing workshop together?" Chai Tao: "Okay."

The two of them went to a secluded spot in the backyard. There was a large clothing factory there, working in two shifts, day and night, to make clothes, both cotton-padded and unlined. There were also many people sitting nearby, working on cotton shoes.

Guoguo carefully inspected the cotton used and reminded, "You must use the best cotton. These are for soldiers who are going to serve in the army and will wear them on the front line, especially in the north, it's very cold. Chai Tao, in the future, arrange to make high-quality down jackets for the soldiers to wear. They should be light and warm, and good for fighting the enemy." Chai Tao said seriously, "Okay!" Facing the workers, he said, "Please stop for a moment. I'll just say a few words. It won't take up much of your time. Don't stop talking. You must do your work well and make sure the stitching is firm. The soldiers are defending their country on the front line, and we in the rear must make what they need to ensure that their bodies are not invaded by the cold." "Okay!" Everyone said in unison, "We will definitely do it." Guoguo said, "Let's make the best down for them to wear. Let's work hard. The cotton shoes must be made quickly. These are what our new recruits will wear this time. We can't let them freeze to death on the road before they reach the battlefield. The cotton shoes must use good cotton and be thicker. Especially the soles, they must be thick." Chai Tao promised, "I will definitely do a good job of logistics." Guo Guo nodded, "Count and tell me what is missing immediately!" "Okay, master." "Tell me before dinner." "Okay, I'll go check it out right away. What supplies are missing?"

The two acted separately.

Guoguo went back to the kitchen and told the cook to prepare more rice and meat. The cook said, "Don't worry, Princess." Guoguo realized she needed a steward. She called Qin and Qi over and said, "From now on, you will take charge of household chores and assume the role of steward. One will be responsible for the interior, the other for the exterior. Report household matters to the Second Young Madam!" Qin and Qi replied, "Yes, Master." Guoguo then instructed, "First, go check on the duck, chicken, and goose feathers we've purchased. Check to see if they've been cleaned and dried, then send them to the garment factory." Qi said, "I'll go. I've always done this job, so I'm familiar with it." Guoguo said, "Okay, just discuss and do it."

Ma Yuru reported to the Ministry of Revenue for work as soon as she came back, and she would not be at home all day. Yan Bao went out early in the morning and was also very busy managing the affairs of the shop.

Hu Yuxin came over and said, "Big sister, please find me a job." Guoguo smiled. "Isn't being a young lady nice?" Hu Yuxin said, "Big sister, before I married in, I didn't think about just enjoying life. The Chai family is from the countryside and they are all honest farmers. I was prepared to work on the land. I never thought about not working. I have only one condition: that my in-laws treat me well and that my husband treats me well. I will work hard for the Chai family and treat them well, sharing their honor and disgrace!" Guoguo clapped her hands. "Okay, since you can say that, big sister believes you. Go ahead and ask Yingchun to arrange some work for you. Remember, big things and small things are all things, and you must do them well." Hu Yuxin said firmly, "I will. Big sister, I'm leaving." Guoguo watched Hu Yuxin leave. Haha, okay. Hu Yuxin and the maid rode out on horseback! Guoguo's efforts in treating her illness were worth it. Guoguo had never done so much for an outsider.

Guoguo also felt that he had not mistaken the person, so he turned around and walked inside without thinking any more.
