Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Old Man Liu clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Old Han, if you throw this thing onto the barbarians' path, it will definitely pierce their horses' hooves!"

"It would be much better if this thing could be made of iron. The wooden ball is a bit fragile."

Mr. Liu saw the problem at a glance.

Village Chief Han also sighed and said, "A Miao said from the beginning that we wanted to make iron balls, but where can we get so much iron raw materials?"

"Besides, even if we could get the iron, we wouldn't know how to make it!"

Ironmaking is a skilled craft, and no one in Hanjia Village knows how to do it. There's a young man from the Zhang family who works as a laborer in a blacksmith shop in the state capital, but it's unclear whether he can even make iron balls.

Village Chief Han then said to Mr. Liu, "Because I can't make an iron ball, I wanted to ask you if you can make one with wood."

"Don't worry about whether this wooden ball is strong or not. It's better to have something useful than nothing!"

Mr. Liu immediately said, "It will be no problem to make a woodworking craft. Old Han, go to Dingzhou City and sell the wood."

"When the wood arrives, I'll lead everyone to do it. This is my specialty."

After saying that, Mr. Liu also found all the carpentry tools he had stored in the house.

He hadn't used these tools for many years. Now that he was in good health, he had endless energy and it was perfect for him to lead the villagers in the work.

When Village Chief Han saw that the matter of the wooden ball was settled, he and Xu Miao came out of Uncle Liu's house and walked towards Xu Miao's house.

On the way, Village Chief Han asked Xu Miao, "Ah Miao, isn't it good for you to live in Dingzhou City with this money?"

"Why do you just want to worry about things in Han Village?"

Xu Miao wanted to use the money to buy a house in Dingzhou City and live there with Chun'er, so that they could live a good life.

Even if she gets married in Dingzhou City in the future, no one will dare to bully Xu Miao because of her relationship with General Liu.

Especially since Major General Zhou Jicheng is of similar age to Xu Miao, if Xu Miao marries the Major General, she will be a general's wife and will not be inferior to anyone else anywhere.

There are troubles everywhere in Hanjia Village. Not to mention the invading barbarians, even the residents in the village are enough to worry Xu Miao.

Seeing Village Chief Han asking about this, Xu Miao smiled and said to him, "Uncle Han, I never thought about living in Dingzhou City from the beginning."

"I don't want to get married either. I ran away from my marriage in the capital and have no interest in getting married. I've never thought of relying on a man for a living."

"Although there are many things to worry about in Hanjia Village, I am happy here."

"In this life, there are not many days when we can live according to our own wishes. I cherish the life I have now in Hanjia Village."

"Besides, since Duke Dingguo's Mansion has handed Hanjia Village over to me, I must build Hanjia Village well. Even if it's not for Duke Dingguo's Mansion, for my own sake, I must lead all the villagers of Hanjia Village to live a better life."

People must always find some sense of accomplishment and cannot live their lives in a muddle.

Han Jiacun heard what Xu Miao said and felt that what he said made sense. People should always live according to their own wishes. Even if the days are difficult, they will feel happy.

The next day, Hanjia Village became lively again.

As soon as Xu Miao got up early in the morning, Han Jiacun brought the second and third sons of the Han family to Xu Miao's house.

Village chief Han asked Han Lao Er and Han Lao San to accompany Xu Miao to Dingzhou City.

Xu Miao went to see General Liu to discuss recruiting some young and strong people without travel permits from outside Dingzhou City to Hanjia Village, and also to invite a teacher who could teach back.

Han Lao Er and Han Lao San had followed Village Chief Han into the city a few days ago and knew where to buy wood.

Village Chief Han would take Han Lao Da and Han Lao Si home to prepare food and medicinal materials for trading with the barbarians. They would also have to repair the uninhabited houses in the other villages in preparation for welcoming the outsiders.

Early in the morning, Mr. Liu called several villagers in Hanjia Village who knew some carpentry skills to his home, and discussed how to make wooden balls according to the drawings drawn by Xu Miao.

Aunt Han is at home, doing the most important thing, which is to take good care of the banknotes.

Ever since Aunt Han took possession of the banknotes, she has not dared to go anywhere at home.

Just like Chun'er did before, he would press his chest when he had nothing to do to ensure the safety of the banknotes.

When Mrs. Han learned that Xu Miao was going to the city with her two brothers-in-law, she took the initiative to move to Xu Miao's house with Tiedan to keep Chun'er company.

Village chief Han and the others were really worried about leaving Fang Chun'er, a little girl, alone at home.

Before Xu Miao and the other two set off, Village Chief Han called Xu Miao aside and warned her, "Ah Miao, be careful on your way to Dingzhou City."

"Um...should we give General Liu some silver as a token of our appreciation?"

Village chief Han thought hard all night but could not think of anything that Hanjia Village could give to the general.

You can't just catch two fish like Han Dahai and give them to the general.

When asking someone to do something for you, no matter what, you should at least bring something with you.

Seeing that Xu Miao was about to leave and didn't mention this matter, he hurriedly asked.

Xu Miao smiled quietly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Han, I've prepared all the gifts. I'm carrying the secret medicine from the capital in my pocket."

Xu Miao thought last night that he could no longer go to ask General Liu for help empty-handed.

Mrs. Liu had given her many gifts before, but Xu Miao had never expressed her gratitude. This time, no matter what, she had to bring some gifts to meet General Liu and his wife.

Seeing Xu Miao preparing to deliver the medicine, Village Chief Han said with a distressed look on his face, "Just give one. We have to save the rest for us to use slowly."

Village chief Han had seen how energetic Mr. Liu looked after taking the medicine. This secret medicine made in the Imperial Hospital was a rare commodity that could not be bought even with money.

If it wasn't for General Liu, Village Chief Han would really be reluctant to let Xu Miao send it away.

Xu Miao also lowered his voice and warned Village Chief Han: "Uncle Han, be very careful when trading with the barbarians. After this last one, you can't continue no matter what."

Village Chief Han quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, A'miao. I have it all figured out. Let the boss and the others start preparing today. Once it's completely dark, we'll send the food and herbs over."

"With the eldest and fourth brother following us, nothing should happen."

Boss Han is a steady and prudent person. In recent years, he has been doing business with Village Chief Han.

At first, Han Dahai wanted to go to the city with the second and third brothers, but Village Chief Han didn't let him and even got angry at home.

Han Dahai said angrily, "I haven't been to Dingzhou City for several years. Dad, why don't you let me go there?"

Seeing his youngest son's temper, Village Chief Han scolded him with a smile, "You little bastard, stay home. I have something important for you to do."

"Before the New Year, I'll let you go to Dingzhou City and have fun as much as you want. Then, you can go buy New Year's goods for our family, and I'll let you go alone. You can play for as many days as you want."

Ever since Han Dahai and Xu Miao began practicing martial arts, Village Chief Han had noticed his youngest son's skills improving day by day. He decided to have him go with them to trade with the barbarians, so he could have someone skilled in martial arts to help him out whenever he needed help.

Later, when Han Dahai heard Village Chief Han talk about doing business with the barbarians, he gave up the idea of ​​going to Dingzhou City.

They could go to Dingzhou City anytime, but his father wanted to trade with the barbarians, which was a dangerous thing.

But he has to protect his father first.
