Chapter 204: Xie Cheng

Children aged thirteen or fourteen are like this; as long as they are not in extreme pain, they will be full of energy and vigor.

Xie Yanyan gave him another paper bag of medicine and told him, "You will be cured after taking it for seven days. Remember to take it and don't stop."

Lu Chong's eyes sparkled with joy: "Thank you, Miss."

Zhang Hengliang patted his head and said to Xie Yanyan, "Little Lu is amazing. He is now a baron and is particularly brave in battle. The commander-in-chief said that if there is another tough battle, he can be promoted to captain."

As Zhang Hengliang said this, Lu Chong looked at Xie Yanyan and smiled widely. His skin was the wheat color unique to Boluo County, and his smile was very bright.

"That's really amazing!" Xie Yanyan gave him a thumbs up, "Xiao Lu, after the trading area is built, there will probably be jealous thieves coming to plunder it. You have to help me fight off the enemies then."

In the 21st and 22nd centuries, a 14-year-old boy is still in junior high school, in his rebellious period, hates cats and dogs, and can make his parents mad. But now, Lu Chong is already a captain, a platoon leader who can command a hundred people.

Lu Chong smiled shyly and excitedly and said, "Miss Xie, don't worry, I am the best at killing enemies."

A soldier laughed and said, "Captain Lu is blushing, Captain Lu is blushing."

Lu Chong took the medicine and ran away.

Zhang Yong drove a carriage and waited for her outside the governor's office. It was not until the moon was above the willows that he saw his sister coming back with Miao Guang from a distance.

After picking her and Miao Guang up, the family had already prepared dinner. Xie Yanyan washed her hands and took a shower. Seeing three full water tanks, she asked, "Is this the water from the governor?"

"Yes, today Lord Cui Yu sent several carts of water over, saying that my sister likes cleanliness, so he sent well water to her."

Song Lingling said excitedly, "Sister, this water is very sweet."

This is Boluo County, and it is also one of the rare sweet water wells in the south. The governor has soldiers guarding the well, and specially sent soldiers to bring her water for bathing.

"Yan'er, you asked me to find a kiln worker. I asked around and found out that there is a family named Yu in Echeng. Their ancestors have always been engaged in kiln burning. However, a hundred years ago, the Yu family had a dispute with a local bully, and the kiln was completely destroyed. Most of the people died, and there has been no kiln burning since then."

"Go to the Yu family and if there are any of their descendants who know how to make bricks and tiles, invite them over."

Today she took some time to ask Zhang Hengliang about the wages of local hired workers and private servants. If food is included, it is 150 to 300 coins per month, and if food is not included, it is 300 to 600 coins.

"Tell them that food and lodging are provided. The master carpenter will receive 2,000 coins per month, and the rest will receive 600 coins per month. If they can produce bricks and tiles that satisfy me, the master carpenter will have wine and meat every day, and the rest will have two dishes and a soup per meal, plus rice, to satisfy their hunger."

Xie Anfeng, Xie Ning and Song Lingling were all a little stunned. Xie Anfeng said, "Yan'er, in the north, the highest salary for government employees is less than 2,000 coins. Even Zhang Hengliang and Cui Yu don't have 2,000 coins."

Xie Yanyan: "As long as he does a good job, money is not a problem."

"Do you have that much silver?"

"have."

Well, people without money are not qualified to question.

Xie Yanyan asked Xie Ning to talk to Song Xingcheng and decided to find someone to do the farming instead of farming himself.

In fact, she has no shortage of land now. The land in the space is more than the military farmland here, so she has no worries about food.

Xie Ning is a general who practices martial arts diligently. The safety of Xiecheng will be left to Xie Ning in the future.

Xiecheng is the base of their entire family. It will become the most eye-catching and dazzling pearl in the south in the future. Naturally, there will be people coveting it. At that time, anything will happen.

She had an agreement with Governor Zhao, but no matter what others did, her brother was definitely reliable.

Moreover, my brother does not need to follow Governor Zhao as cannon fodder. He can protect his own home, and live a good life with his sister-in-law and two children. This is more important than anything else.

Don't actively invade others, but don't tolerate your enemies either.

Xie Ning's eyes were tearful. She smiled and said, "Thank you, sister. I understand."

The next day, Xie Yanyan went to the military camp to report for work as usual.

Miao Guang went to the military camp after dinner last night. He was so excited to see hundreds of patients with cold and fever all cured that he couldn't sleep.

"Master, you are amazing. Out of 318 people, more than 300 have recovered." Miao Guang was very excited.

318 people, not to mention the dozen or so who have not yet recovered, even if they died, their treatment effect is unprecedented.

Xie Yanyan went to see those dozen people specifically. Now the other patients were basically able to chat and talk with surprised expressions on their faces. When they saw her coming, if they were not afraid of infecting her, they would have rushed over with a roar.

Lu Chong was particularly excited. He looked at her with a red face and sparkling eyes. "Miss, I...what work do you have? Leave it to me!"

Seeing that they all looked unhappy, Xie Yanyan said, "Then go contact General Zhang Hengliang and ask him to lend us the army's large stove. I'll cook a few pots of medicinal porridge for you after I'm done with my work today."

Lu Chong happily ran to find Zhang Hengliang immediately.

Xie Yanyan checked on everyone one by one. The medicines had been distributed to everyone. Miao Guang would keep an eye on them. The dozen or so serious cases were not a problem for Miao Guang.

Their malaria is under control, and other diseases can be cured with Miao Guang.

When she made her rounds, Lu Chong had already called General Zhang Hengliang over and provided her with the army's stoves and pots.

She asked Zhang Hengliang to bring people to her house, bring a large basket of preserved eggs, and also contribute a basket of yam.

"Miss Xie, this, this must be worth a lot of money, right?" Zhang Hengliang felt a little embarrassed. They hadn't paid Miss Xie yet, so why should they pay for it?

"Well, it's very expensive and there's no demand for it."

Miss Xie is really kind. She gave all the gifts given by friends to their military camp for free.

[The Xie family is not easy to mess with. They might get angry anytime.]

[I will report this to the warlord and take care of them, so as to establish a good relationship with them in advance.]

When I came back from the military governor's office, Qingxiu was already waiting in the yard. I heard Song Lingling say, "Qingxiu is such a troublemaker. She insisted on waiting for her sister to come back to eat together. She refused to eat first."

Xie Yanyan looked at Qingxiu with eyes shining but a little red, and knew that she had received Chu Xiwang's message and should have been rescued.

Qingxiu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xie Yanyan, and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Xie Yanyan said calmly: "Get up, you don't know how to do farm work, so follow me and serve me closely from now on."

"Yes, miss." Qingxiu said very loyally.

Xie Yanyan then asked her, "Is Brother Chu okay?"

"To answer young lady's question, His Majesty Emperor Wu of Song has killed the King of Nanzhong and captured the generals of Guzang and Xiliang alive. The Song State has now expanded by 20 cities and received a large amount of compensation materials."

The State of Song could now compete with the Former Qin.
