"Grandpa, arrange a warehouse, and I'll put the cotton and fabric from my space there. You can then send more people to rush the production so that everyone can have a less cold New Year."

The frozen and fresh corn can also be used to improve the soldiers' meals. If that's still not enough, I'll expedite the ripening of the remaining corn in the fields.

Oh right, and there's the heated kang (traditional Chinese bed). I've already shown everyone the video. Let Dad draw the blueprints; I'm really not good at that.

Shen Xingmian quickly recounted everything she could think of, and Shen Zhiheng nodded repeatedly in approval. His sweetheart had considered so much for him; she was truly considerate.

“Without Mianmian, it would have been very difficult for us to develop the Northern Territory, even without war. But with you, Grandpa finally sees hope.”

Shen Zhiheng was very gratified. He had been stationed in the northern border for so many years without seeing any results, but it turned out that his granddaughter had brought hope to this place.

Heaven has been kind to the Shen family.

No wonder scholars like to say things like "misfortune may be a blessing in disguise; a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise." It turns out that in some situations, fortune and misfortune really are interdependent.

After dinner, Shen Xingmian went with her grandfather to the military camp's warehouse and put cotton fabrics and grains inside.

After these things were taken out, the space suddenly became much more spacious, and Shen Xingmian's little urge to hoard goods began to stir again.

However, the North is so poor that there's probably nothing she can take.

Wait a minute!

That imperial envoy traveled all this way; surely he couldn't have come just to establish the emperor's authority? He's been here for so long; he must have amassed a fortune and accepted numerous bribes.

Hehe, I just felt like I should make an example of him.

As soon as she got home, Shen Xingmian went straight to her mother's and father's room, knocking on the door with great urgency.

Shen Yunting thought something had happened, so she hurried over to open the door. When she saw her daughter, she immediately went to check if she was injured.

"Oh dear Mother, I'm not hurt. We just wanted to ask you if you should go to the Imperial Envoy's house. After we put the things in Grandpa's military camp, we'll have more space left."

Shen Yunting's eyes lit up immediately, and he slapped his thigh, readily agreeing, "Let's go, let's go right now!"

"Put your clothes on before you leave, so you don't catch a cold."

Luo Qi'an chased after them, holding his cloak, calling out as he went, afraid that the mother and daughter would have vanished by the time he came out.

It's really worrying me a lot.

Shen Yunting was a little embarrassed and wanted to ask her husband if he wanted to come along, but then she remembered that her daughter's space could only hold two people, so she didn't ask.

Shen Xingmian spoke up again: "Father, do you want to go? Anyway, the Northern Territory will be our family's territory from now on. We're not afraid of any danger. We can just go to their house openly and honestly. Who can do anything to us?"

This isn't the capital city, so they have to be careful when collecting things. Even if they just push the door open, the imperial envoy can't do anything to them.

His family of a few couldn't even beat his own mother, ha.

“If I go, your grandfather will probably have to go too.”

Shen Xingmian thought her father was going to say that he wouldn't go, but then she heard him ask, "Why don't we go and call your grandfather too? It's rare for the four of us to have a chance to do something together."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian immediately perked up and whispered, "Then you two quietly wait for me outside the door, and I'll go and call Grandpa out right away."

After saying that, it took off running away on its short legs, and it was quite fast.

Shen Zhiheng was dealing with a backlog of military affairs in his room when he heard a rapid knock on the door. He calmly replied, "Come in."

Shen Xingmian pushed open the door and rushed in to pull the person up, rattling off a rapid string of words:

"Father and Mother are waiting outside. Grandpa, hurry up and get dressed. We're going to that dog of an imperial envoy's house to see how much wealth he's plundered from the people and teach him a fatal lesson!"

"Oh dear, stop pulling, Grandpa, I'm all better now." Shen Zhiheng quickly put on the bearskin cloak that Shen Xingmian had given him and followed her outside.

These cloaks were all collected by Shen Xingmian from the storerooms of various families in the capital. They had never been worn before, presumably as a reward for something important done by a younger member of the family. In the end, they all benefited from them.

Down jackets are not suitable for the time being; they are limited in quantity, and if only one store has them, it would be too conspicuous.

On the contrary, these fur cloaks will accumulate as hunting progresses, and when distributed as rewards, they can boost morale.

As soon as the four gathered, they immediately flew towards the imperial envoy's house.

Shen Xingmian was held in Shen Zhiheng's arms and had a rare experience of flying over walls and rooftops. Such a short distance was perfect for using light-footed skills to get there, without even needing a carriage.

She won't say who's envious, sob sob.

Upon arriving at the imperial envoy's temporary residence, Shen Zhiheng snorted coldly, "Such an air of authority."

Shen Xingmian immediately understood what her grandfather meant.

In winter, no one is allowed to patrol outside the general's mansion at night because it is too cold and people are afraid of getting sick from the cold. However, there are always people on duty at the gatehouse at night, and someone will answer if there is an emergency.

But this imperial envoy had quite a grand display, resting in a warm room while his soldiers braved the cold to patrol outside, ensuring his own safety.

It's hard to imagine how loyal the soldiers who were treated this way would be to him.

No, the word "loyalty" is not even appropriate for a dog envoy.

Pooh.

Without alerting the few patrolling men, the four of them flew directly to the backyard, searched around, and quickly found the imperial envoy's bedroom.

It was only a short time since it got dark, and it wasn't time for bed yet, but the sounds of a woman's coquettish laughter and a man's unpleasant teasing could be heard coming from the imperial envoy's bedroom.

Shen Xingmian almost vomited after hearing that.

yue.

This man's voice sounds very old, yet he's still trying to prey on young women. It's disgusting!

She didn't care whether the woman was willing or not. Even if a girl in a brothel was willing to do business with this man, she was probably coerced by him.

Otherwise, would he really give money?

Shen Xingmian didn't believe it.

If there were no money, even the girls in the brothel wouldn't be willing to serve such an old man; he's disgusting enough.

tui!

Instead of kicking the door open for fear of alerting the patrolmen outside, Shen Xingmian led her mother inside and took her to the old man, asking him to subdue the man.

She quickly brought her grandfather in as well, so that he could restrain the woman.

When she let her father in, she belatedly realized that the directions for men and women seemed to be reversed...

However, it's not a big problem. In an emergency, don't worry about the details!
