Chapter 98: A Full Grain of Knowledge and Etiquette
"For me, it is like this."
Chen Jinyue gave him a brief introduction to the current era.
Many ancient and precious civilizations in history have disappeared in the long river of history due to wars, natural wear and tear, improper storage, etc.
There is very little left for future generations.
These things he gave, bearing the full traces of history, are valued by the country and collected by many sentimental old artists.
So she could exchange these for more gold and silver. "Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. I am very grateful for our peaceful and prosperous times. It allows ordinary people to have enough food and clothing while also pursuing higher goals."
Jiang Qi'an suddenly understood, his eyes full of longing, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace..."
This sentence is so concretely reflected in the world where Miss Chen lives.
"That's what I mean." Chen Jinyue nodded. "So, be careful with the things you give me in the future. If they get bumped or scratched, the value will drop significantly."
Jiang Qi'an, "..."
He looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
She is very kind.
Have compassion and national justice.
But she also loves money.
Admitting openly that you love money makes you seem more straightforward and lovable...
"Okay, I will be more careful next time. Let's have a happy cooperation!"
“???”
Chen Jinyue thought his smile was inexplicable, but when he saw that he had clarified his financial backer's status and no longer looked as if he was about to cry, he introduced the seeds he had bought to him.
She had no idea whether she could plant the seeds, and after hearing Uncle Zheng's doubts, she lost even more confidence.
"It's been snowing for months, and the land is in such bad shape. Let everyone try planting first. If it doesn't work, don't force it. We can consider this again when the weather warms up."
Now that the snow has stopped and the coldest time is about to pass, the temperature should be rising, right?
Jiang Qi'an nodded, "Okay."
After explaining everything, Chen Jinyue delivered the batch of cotton clothes and shoes, small gifts, and a large amount of coal to him.
Thinking that I would be leaving the county for a while, I gave him another reminder.
"Except for the agreed delivery time, I'm usually closed. If you have anything to do, just knock on the door. There's no need to wait."
"good."
…
This time, Jiang Qian'an entered the Space-Time Exchange directly from Xiurong City.
After the ceremony of promoting the master to the ancestral temple, he and Xiao Chengyu stayed in Xiurong City, waiting for the second batch of supplies to arrive so that they could be distributed directly to the people in the city.
Following them was, of course, Jiang Qian'an's team of professional transport soldiers.
They are aware of the quantity of goods.
Because they need to take inventory.
However, this time I suddenly discovered that the number was wrong.
Didn’t they say there weren’t many cotton-padded jackets and shoes left?
This is not less than the previous batch!
"Miss Chen sent some small gifts." Jiang Qian explained gently, and then added, "It's not a large number, but every soldier who carried it got one."
General Xiao's trusted lieutenants and this special team all knew how he procured supplies.
It is necessary to win people's hearts appropriately.
What's more, they have already put in more work.
Deputy General Tang's eyes lit up as he led the team. "Your Highness! Did Miss Chen give you something again?"
Jiang Qi'an nodded, "Some small things to keep warm..."
He briefly introduced everyone, and after each one he introduced, he put one on Lieutenant General Tang.
By the time the introduction was over, Lieutenant General Tang was already wrapped up tightly.
Deputy General Tang's face was full of amazement.
"Your Highness, these are so warm! I wish everyone working outside could have a portion!"
"Put these together and distribute them to the people who are working according to the actual situation. When they get off work and go home, hand them over to the next group of people working." Jiang Qian'an said in a light voice.
When he heard Miss Chen say that the number was not large, he secretly made plans.
The worst thing to do now is to go out. At home, at least you can light a stove to keep warm or use other heating methods.
Deputy General Tang said repeatedly, "Your Highness is wise! I will do it right away!"
After he happily agreed, he used his furry head to call the soldiers who were carrying the food to come and collect his share.
"Oh my god, these fabrics are so soft and warm!"
"Your Highness is so kind to us!"
"I swear to be loyal to Your Highness until death!"
“…”
These young and strong soldiers are actually very kind.
When they heard that the quantity was not enough, they hesitated.
But they don’t need it. If there are elderly people, women and children at home who need it, it would be nice to take it home and give it to their family members.
So no one refused...
At this moment, Xiao Chengyu strode in from outside and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Marshal Father has sent a letter with important matters to report to Your Highness."
Jiang Qian'an's expression suddenly became serious.
Now that the border is stable and the barbarians dare not invade again, the only important issue at this time is the attitude of the capital.
really.
General Xiao mentioned in the letter that General Feng had already led his men to Xiurong and was ordered to take over the Xiao family army.
The Xiao family army was defeated one after another, and under the double attack of natural disasters and foreign enemies, there was no movement from the imperial court.
After this great victory, they actually thought of taking over.
And it was obvious that they were serious this time, bringing a threat of 50,000 troops.
But, "Isn't the person coming General Feng?"
Jiang Qian'an looked at the content and was a little surprised.
General Feng's deputy general led an army of 40,000 and set off first.
Xiao Chengyu replied, "I heard that General Feng was stuck in a small town a hundred miles away."
Jiang Qi'an narrowed his eyes slightly, "Check the details."
What could trip up General Feng, a man who strictly abides by the rules, and make him disregard the emperor's orders?
This is obviously unreasonable.
"Yes!" Xiao Chengyu accepted the order respectfully.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the tens of thousands of troops.
If it were a few months ago, when the border was extremely cold and food supplies were insufficient, and the Xiao family army and the people could only wait for death, these tens of thousands of troops could pose a threat to them.
Now?
Let’s first see if those who came from the capital can withstand the severe cold at the border!
General Xiao's letter was very long. In addition to reporting this matter, he also reported on the construction progress in Shuozhou City.
No matter how big or small the matter is.
Jiang Qian'an looked at these contents and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Everything was recovering as he expected...
However, when he saw the other party specifically mention his high concrete wall, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
General Xiao said that there were small holes and some tiny cracks on the surface?
Doesn't it look sturdy?
If you pick up a hammer and tap it gently, will the pieces fall off?
How is that possible?!
He saw the wall built by the man in the video, it looked quite solid!
Did they make a mistake somewhere?
Or is there something wrong with his 'gentle tapping'?
Jiang Qi'an hadn't witnessed it himself, so he didn't believe General Xiao's description. Furthermore, he hadn't personally participated in the wall's construction, so it was highly likely that the soldiers had been careless and had gotten the formula wrong.
He walked back to the study and began to write back to General Xiao, asking him to send someone to deliver all the remaining materials to Xiurong City.
He will supervise the work himself.
