Ointment? Of course there is, not only is there ointment, but also the formula.

"Yes." Liu Yulian nodded. "I still have the formula. If it's gone, I'll just make some more. Brother, you can sell it. It's very good for injuries and can also promote the healing of broken bones and recovery quickly."

Liu Yulian thought that if her brother wanted to do something, then he should do it.

"Hmm." Liu Yanjing had some thoughts, "Although we were exiled here, but..."

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yulian wondered. She had a hunch that her brother didn't seem to be going to be a businessman.

My brother was once trained as the heir of the Marquis' Mansion. He can be considered both civil and military. Although he is not the best in both, he is better than many people.

"Are you going to join the army?" Liu Yulian asked. She didn't disagree with her brother going; she was just being his younger sister. Even though swords and weapons were blind, she was worried about him, but that wasn't a reason to stop him from serving his country. "If you go, I'm afraid you'll have to start as a soldier."

"With your ointment, I'm not sure." Liu Yanjing said, "Throwing a stone to test the water."

This is how society works. With all sorts of connections, even those sons of wealthy families who join the army don't just become soldiers. It's not easy to rise from a soldier to a higher position.

Now that Liu Yanjing's legs and feet are healed, he can do more.

The garrison commander in the northwest was still okay, and he had some connections with the Liu family. However, the Liu family had fallen on hard times, so it was not easy to just visit them casually. Favors should not be used casually. If you use them carelessly, you won't be able to use them if there is a problem in the future.

Besides, the family has no money or things, and they may not be able to get anything good if they go there empty-handed.

General Xu had been stationed in the northwest for many years. His mother and one son were in the capital, and his wife had come with him to the northwest. His wife was the aunt of Liu Yulian's fiancé, a fierce and powerful woman.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu was staring at her nephew in front of her. She didn't expect that her nephew would run to the northwest.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Xu glared at her nephew. The northwest cannot compare with the capital. Not only is it not as prosperous, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation are also not as good as those in the capital.

"It's faster to learn martial arts." said He Xiyuan, who is only about sixteen years old this year.

In his early years, he was engaged to Liu Yulian by chance. He was older than Liu Yulian. However, he felt that it was his responsibility to take care of Liu Yulian and was very happy. Unfortunately, something happened to the Liu family and he could not help. He could only watch his fiancée being exiled.

He Xiyuan was the legitimate son of the Chengguo family. He had originally planned to take the imperial examination and pursue a career as a civil servant. However, the civil service career path was too slow, and it was unknown when he would achieve great success.

Even if the Liu family could survive, he would directly marry Liu Yulian at that time, but he always felt that something was not right.

He Xiyuan didn't want others to mock Liu Yulian. He wanted to be strong on his own, instead of waiting for his grandmother and others to say bad things about Liu Yulian. He knew that his grandmother wanted him to cancel the engagement. They simply thought that the Liu family was useless, so they wanted to cancel the engagement.

Haha, the elders say if you want to get engaged, you get engaged, and if they say to cancel the engagement, you cancel the engagement. What do you think of him?

So He Xiyuan fled to the northwest. He wanted to go to the front line to make achievements. Only in this way could he be promoted quickly. Only when he became strong could he be truly strong.

Madam Xu had always known that her nephew was intelligent and quick-witted. Previously, when she was in the capital, she had even told her mother with a smile that their family was going to produce a top scholar. Who could have imagined that He Xiyuan would actually come to the northwest?

"What's the point of hurrying? That's risking your life." Madam Xu was worried about her nephew getting into trouble. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. "Do your mother and the others know?"

"My mother helped me pack my things." He Xiyuan said.

"..." Madam Xu's lips curled slightly, "Fortunately, I know she is your biological mother, otherwise, I would have thought she was your stepmother."

In fact, Lady Chengguo had other ideas. The princes in the capital were fighting for the throne, and the old emperor was not in good health. The situation in the capital was unlikely to be very good in recent years.

Instead of letting my son stay in the capital, it is better to let him go out and try his luck.

The wife of the Duke of Chengguo was no fool; she also hoped that her son would take the imperial examination. However, the old emperor had recently demoted many officials, and the political situation was turbulent. When her son proposed to go to the northwest, the wife of the Duke of Chengguo agreed.

Lady Chengguo didn't care whether the old lady agreed or not. She would just ask her husband. If her husband thought it was good, then it was good.

"My nephew's fiancée is here too." He Xiyuan's earlobes turned a little red.

"The girl from the Liu family?" Madam Xu was a little shocked. "Didn't your grandmother ask you to cancel your engagement?"

Mrs. Xu understood her mother's character all too well: she despised the poor and loved the rich, a snob of sorts. While she was her mother's daughter, she wasn't raised in her mother's presence because the elders in the family feared she would be misled.

"It's impossible to cancel it." He Xiyuan frowned, "We will get married in the future."

"That's fine," Madam Xu said. "Although breaking off the engagement now might seem like kicking someone when they're down, it's understandable. With her current status, even if she marries you, she won't be able to control anyone else. If you don't like her anymore, then let her go. If you do like her, then hold on to her."

It's so rare to find someone you like.

Even though my nephew and his fiancée are still young, they are childhood sweethearts.

Mrs. Xu did not stop them. Young people have to experience it themselves before they can understand what they want.

He Xiyuan didn't dare to see Liu Yulian now, for fear that Liu Yulian would think that the Chengguo Mansion did not help the Liu family, and that she would think that he did not go to see her off.

That day, he was originally going to send Liu Yulian off, but his grandmother managed to lock him up. This made him very angry, but he had no choice. His grandmother simply thought Liu Yulian was useless and that he should marry someone else.

"That day, I climbed over the wall." He Xiyuan's eyes were a little red, but when he reached the city gate, Liu Yulian and her family had already left.

He Xiyuan was still a young man, even though he usually acted a bit cold. But his current behavior made Madam Xu feel that this nephew was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

"Now that you're here, let's go see her," said Mrs. Xu.

"Hmm..." He Xiyuan's voice was very low. He still didn't dare to go in front of Liu Yulian. Could he just watch from a distance?

In Shiyuan Village, Liu Yanjing looked at the herbs Liu Yulian had used to make her ointment. They weren't rare and could be purchased. The process for making the ointment wasn't simple, but it might just be lifesaving.

If a soldier goes to the battlefield before his injuries have healed, his survival rate will be greatly reduced.

"All of these herbs can be planted," Liu Yulian said, "but we don't have that much land, and we can't plant herbs just for an ointment."

If you try to do everything, you might end up losing everything if you are not careful.

Liu Yulian’s purpose is very clear, which is to plant autumn cotton, winter wheat, and kapok trees.

In her warehouse there are kapok trees suitable for growing in arid areas, which have been modified in the game.

Liu Yulian thought that the winters here were cold, so if they planted the cotton earlier, they could have warm quilts and cotton-padded jackets.

"Brother, before the New Year, let's take a break and get familiar with the surrounding environment." Liu Yulian said, "The most important thing is the crops in the fields."

“…” Liu Yanjing looked at his delicate and gentle sister in front of him, and he didn’t think that his sister cared so much about the work in the fields.

"You know what? Cotton is white, soft and warm." Liu Yulian felt comfortable whenever she thought of the soft quilt. Then she wouldn't have to cover herself with the quilt secretly. She could cover herself with it openly without having to hide it every morning.

It's so difficult to feel like a thief even though you are in your own home.

Liu Yulian did not take out all those things because it was useless to take out a small amount of finished products. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.

"Flowers..." Liu Yanjing stopped talking. Girls like flowers. Fortunately, his sister also knows how to plant wheat, not just flowers.

Liu Yulian not only had people help with tilling the soil and sowing the seeds, she also had them watering the plants. It was just plain water with some culture medium added. She poured the nutrient solution right in front of the villagers, who still thought Liu Yulian was once a rich lady. These people are so cunning.

Everyone thought that the Liu family had spent so much money hiring people to farm, and if they didn't get much in the future, they would cry. Anyway, everyone else was just working for money, and they were paid daily, so they didn't have any thoughts. Since they weren't owed wages, there was no problem of not working.

When those people found that the wheat in the Liu family's main house was growing well, with larger leaves and thicker stalks than those in other houses, the villagers were surprised.

"Is this culture medium really useful?" People who came to weed were shocked.

My God, they had never seen wheat grow so well.

Could it be that the problem is really with the culture medium?

Farmers make a living by working the land. As long as it can make the farmers prosperous, some people are willing to give it a try.

Some people still thought that the wheat was just growing leaves and that there was no guarantee of a good harvest. But a few people were still willing to give it a try, and some even went to the eldest wife of the Liu family.

Father Liu was a little confused. Although he would sometimes go to the fields for a walk, he really didn't know whether the wheat was growing well or not.

"Those all cost money." Father Liu came to his senses and quickly asked for silver. Before he was exiled, he hadn't lost face and hadn't hidden any silver. But now it was different. His daughter was selling embroidery and tofu recipes, so she probably had to sell the culture medium too.

The main thing is how is this culture medium sold, and how long can a bottle of culture medium be used?

Father Liu really didn't know that the culture medium was stored in a separate room.

"Does it cost money?" Some people hesitated, wondering how they could afford it. Others waited to see the price, and if it was right, they would bite the bullet and buy it.
