Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Just as they entered the county town, little Naibao cried out, "Grandpa, I need to pee." Chai Zhen said, "Sir, stop the car. The child needs to pee." Anling said, "Uncle, call me Chonghua." "Okay, Chonghua, stop the car." The car stopped, and Chai Zhen picked up little Naibao and got out. Little Naibao squatted down to pee. "Xiaodong, you get out too and pee." After the car entered the county town and stopped for a rest, Sun Gui also got out and asked Second Uncle, "We're not hungry yet. Let's get on with our journey." "Let's go, let's keep going," said Zhang Qingshan. "Second Uncle, I came here from the capital to take up my post. I still remember the general route. We'll stop at the next village today, so let's rest." "Okay, let's get going," the fourth brother shouted. "Let's go." The convoy began to move quickly again. In the last car, little Naibao peed, and Chai Zhen fed her water and bread. Xiaodong also drank water and ate bread. After the bread, they each received an apple. Chonghua, who was standing in front, thought the child was quite interesting. He peed and ate, not just sitting around. A moment later, he smelled the delicious aroma again. Inside, someone was gnawing on a chicken leg. Old Lady Li had covered the car with a thick blanket. She was just afraid of bumping into someone on the road. They were pretty good, and someone knew the route.

Chonghua drove the carriage, still worried about the safety of his surroundings. They had only been walking for half a day when they heard a faint sound. It soon grew louder, reaching many people. The drivers fumbled with their swords, all worried. "That's coming from the other side." A moment later, a pair of carriages appeared, drawing closer and closer. The opposite carriage stopped, and a driver, seemingly the leader, stepped in front of Lao Si's carriage and bowed. "Excuse me, brother, how far is it from Taohua Village?" Lao Si got out. "What are you doing?" he asked. "We're from the capital, going to Taoyuan County, Taohua Village, to learn farming." Lao Si listened and ran to the back to find Sun Gui. "Uncle Sun, someone from the capital has arrived. They say they're here to learn farming." Zhang Qingshan and Sun Gui got out and went to the front. A Chonghua carriage behind them heard it and said to its occupants, "Uncle Chai, you and the two children, don't get out. I'll go ahead and see who it is." "Okay." Chonghua also moved forward, hiding in the shadows. Then he heard the man say, "We are Si Nongsi, here to learn farming techniques." He produced a certificate. Zhang Qingshan took it and examined it. It was an order from the Ministry of Revenue, and twenty people had arrived. A list of twenty people. Zhang Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "Let them disembark and see all the people." He added, "I am Zhang Qingshan, the Magistrate of Taoyuan County." "Okay, my name is Wei Hao. Everyone disembark. This is the Magistrate of Taoyuan County. Want to see someone?" Everyone on the bus disembarked and formed a line. The fourth brother looked at him. "That's not right. The people at the back haven't disembarked?" Wei Hao said, "Those are from the Ministry of Works, experts in building houses. We met along the way and came together." Zhang Qingshan said, "Inform everyone to come down. This is Sun Gui, the head of Taohua Village." Wei Hao quickly said, "Hello, Head Sun, I'm honored." Sun Gui replied, "Greetings, sir." The people from the capital held high official positions, but they knew they were here to learn the skills and should be humble. If they didn't learn well, they wouldn't be able to report back. They genuinely wanted to learn, and it was said that this was the time the Emperor had issued strict instructions to the Minister of Revenue. These twenty people were all selected by the new Minister of Revenue. They all had good moral character, good attitude, and good knowledge. Xue Zhi, the Right Vice Minister of Works, came forward and saluted, as is the custom when people meet. "I am Xue Zhi, the Right Vice Minister of Works. I'm here to help you build houses." After hearing this, the fourth brother understood a little. Sun Gui also thought of something. Zhang Qingshan was even more shocked, but he didn't quite understand. The Right Vice Minister of Works continued, "There are also some things that the emperor wants to reward Taohua Village. Chonghua secretly checked the carriage to make sure there was no one else. He lay down under the carriage to check one by one. Quietly retreating to the back, he sat in the carriage and said, "Uncle Chai, these are people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. They are here to learn how to farm and build houses." Chai Zhen: "I know." "Guoguo, the prince must have sent them here!" "Maybe." Chai Zhen: "Chonghua, do you have any proof?" Chonghua: "Yes, the county magistrate has seen it." Chai Zhen said, "That's reassuring."

The fourth brother told them, "It's not far. Just head south." Sun Gui said, "Go to Taohua Village and find Jia He. He'll arrange food and lodging for you. I'll be leaving now." Wei Hao said, "You go first." Sun Gui: "Okay."

The fourth son got on the carriage. "Gee..." The carriage started moving. The others followed closely behind. "See you later!" someone from the Ministry of Revenue said, "Are we going to the capital?" "Possibly, yes." "I heard that the waterwheel was made in this village, and one was sent to the palace." "Yes, some people from our Ministry of Revenue went to Taohua Village to learn how to make waterwheels a while ago. Those people haven't returned yet." "Let's go!" Then he got on the carriage.

The fourth brother's group arrived at a village just as dusk fell. They rested at a roadside intersection if they weren't cold, fetched water from a local, and cooked their own meals. They made millet porridge, which came with a sweet and sour pickled white radish, and a sweet and sour spicy version. They ate it with leavened bread. The village head and the village chief came out and asked, "Would you like to stay at our house? We have a vacant room in the official residence." Sun Gui stepped forward and said, "Thank you, but no. We have a tent." It was the one left behind by the departing Imperial Guards. They took a few with them. Sun Gui offered some side dishes to the two men to try, saying, "It's delicious. Come to our village in the fall to buy seeds. We can sell them cheaply." "Okay, okay, we won't disturb you. We're leaving now." There were children playing there, and Chai Zhen gave them each a large piece of leavened bread. "Thank you, Grandpa." "If you want to eat, ask your parents to go to Taohua Village and buy grain seeds. You can grow your own crops and then you can eat." "Okay, Grandpa, I'll tell my mother." The children ran off. The horses were fed and watered, and rested. The tent was covered with straw fans, making it dry and comfortable.

So they traveled by day and rested at night, then continued at noon, eating dry rations. Little Milk Bag brought out several boxes of pears, adding two pears per person for lunch. Only at night could they stop for soup and rice. When thirsty, they carried their own water bottles to drink. They traveled day and night. Little Milk Bag said, "Grandpa, let's have some meat and vegetables. Traveling for so long is unbearable and wears down our bodies." "Okay, let's stop early today." "Shh..." He stopped his carriage first. "Stop the carriage," Little Milk Bag said, revealing his face. "Uncles and brothers, rest early today. We need to cook something delicious." Xiaodong got out of the carriage first. Anling watched and thought to himself, "He's just like the emperor! No wonder the emperor sent his leader here, with so many of the best martial artists here. He hadn't even started teaching Xiaodong martial arts yet, but it was time to start. It was time to start, tonight." Chai Zhen called over the fourth brother, "Take the meat out of the cart and cook it. Take the potatoes and the cabbage and radishes, and stew them in a pot." "Rest here by the woods tonight," Chai Zhen said. Sun Quan was called over to set up the tent. Xiaodong took Little Milk Bag for a walk and looked around. Guoguo saw Li Biaotou and said, "Uncle Li, make some meat for us." Li Biaotou said, "Okay, Uncle, I'll make some meat for you first." "Uncle, eat more." "Okay, Uncle, eat more." Guoguo, go play. Xiaodong, you're so skinny, come practice martial arts with Uncle. It'll be good for your health and make you stronger." Xiaodong said, "I practice with everyone every night." "I'll show you a set, Uncle Li." After saying that, Xiaodong asked Little Milk Bag to stand next to him, and Xiaodong fluently threw a set of punches. "Not bad, keep practicing every day. The meal will be ready soon, Xiaodong, eat more." "Yeah, I eat a full meal every day, and I've grown taller." Little Milk Bag listened and looked at Brother Dong. He was indeed taller than when we came. He looked even better with some flesh on his face. Little Milk Bag pulled his brother."
