Wei Mingsheng spent a whole night working out the charter for establishing the Sinong Institute.
I came to the old house again early in the morning.
He handed the notebook over respectfully, "Patriarch, please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be revised..."
Wei Ji didn't want to watch it at all.
His granddaughter was about to go off to war, and he was in no mood.
Wei Ji didn't even bother to take the notebook. He raised his eyelids and said, "You have been an official for many years and are very familiar with the Ministry of Agriculture of the imperial court. I think it must be safe."
Wei Mingsheng: “…” The clan leader is really used to a leisurely life and doesn’t want to take on any responsibilities at all.
He had no choice but to ask, "Is Wu Niang at home? It would be the same if my nephew showed it to her."
Hearing him mention his granddaughter, Wei Ji snorted lightly, his tone a little bit angry, "She's not here. She went to the county town."
Wei Mingsheng: “…”
Everyone says you are an old child, an old child, what is the patriarch doing?
At this time, Wei Zhongxun came to the door and shouted as soon as he entered the main courtyard: "Brother, would you like to go to the underground palace with me? I heard that there are many rare treasures among the supplies brought back. Those ignorant brats piled them all up in the underground palace as if they were junk. Let's go and take a look..."
He accidentally overheard the conversation of scholars who were involved in transporting supplies and learned that some of the things brought back were extinct calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.
I suddenly felt itchy and wanted to go and take a look.
Wei Zhongxun changed his mind and thought that his elder brother was also idle at home, so he simply asked everyone to go to the underground palace to "hunt for treasure" together.
Wei Mingsheng saw someone coming in and bowed, "Father."
"Yeah." Wei Zhongxun didn't even give him a glance.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ji got down from the couch, put on his shoes and stood up, "Then let's go take a look."
The two elders left the house in front of Wei Mingsheng. The old father treated him as if he didn't exist from beginning to end, leaving him alone in a mess.
Wei Mingsheng glanced at the notebook he had worked on all night, sighed, and returned to Mingjingtang, planning to come back again when his niece came back in the evening.
Wei Xiyin went to the county town at dawn.
She went straight to the newly built stables and inquired about the training of war horses.
"My lady, the war horses have been trained before and have adapted well to the new stable environment... As long as the horse armor is completed, they can go out at any time." said the horseman.
Wei Xiyin nodded slightly, "The main concern is that we might encounter zombies and scare the horses."
The horseman replied, "War horses are trained from the time they are young. Horses are naturally timid and very sensitive to external sounds and the approach of animals. Therefore, they are trained with sonic booms from a young age to simulate battlefield environments to help them adapt."
"If the horse is afraid of the outside environment or the roars of zombies, the girl can blindfold it and plug its ears."
The groom explained in detail how to use the reins to command the horse to move in this environment.
Wei Xiyin listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.
"Then bring Bubai out and let's give it a try."
Wei Xiyin can ride a horse. When she was studying at the Kyoto Academy, the noble ladies also had riding and archery classes.
But it was limited to riding. She definitely didn't know how to fight on horseback or command the horse with complicated commands. She could take advantage of these few days to practice more and develop a better understanding with the horse.
The horseman received the order.
Bubai was soon released from the stable. His pure black fur was smooth and shiny in the sun, and it was obvious that he was well-raised.
As soon as Bubai saw Wei Xiyin, he ran towards her without even being led by a groom, and stretched out his head for her to touch.
Acting very family-friendly.
Wei Xiyin patted its head and waited for the groom to put the saddle on it. Then she mounted the horse and began to gallop around the training ground...
When you focus on doing something, time flies by.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon.
She stayed in the stables the entire morning. Besides riding horses to get Bubai familiar with her scent, she also followed the groom to learn various commands.
The sun is too strong right now and the horse needs a rest.
Wei Xiyin instructed the groom, "Take good care of him and keep a close eye on him these few days."
"Yes." The groom replied in a low voice.
Then she gave a few more careful instructions before turning around and leaving the stable.
There are few people in the county town today. Walking on the street, you can clearly feel that the doors of many workshops are closed, with only a few people working inside.
It was even more obvious when we arrived at the public kitchen. There were only a few people coming to eat, unlike the usual crowded days.
The clansmen who managed the communal kitchen had a rare moment of leisure, so they gathered around the table and chatted with her leisurely.
"Except for two or three workshops that have enough people left, the rest have all gone out to help transport supplies. According to your uncles, we need to finish the work as soon as possible so that we can start setting up sheds and planting winter wheat."
Wei Xiyin was surrounded by a group of tribesmen. She nodded in agreement while eating, "Of course."
"The temperature these days doesn't seem to be as high as the previous few days."
"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too."
"You know what? I went to the well today and guess what? The water level seems to have risen a bit. Oh, when I think about the freezing weather coming soon, I don't know whether winter or summer will be more comfortable."
"What are you afraid of? Wu Niang has made preparations for the tribe. The surrounding monsters have been cleared out. Every household has a kang and plenty of firewood. This winter won't be difficult."
Not to mention the large amount of supplies brought back, the dock now has almost everything it needs.
Most people are optimistic and believe that things will get better day by day.
"Wu Niang said so, right?"
Wei Xiyin put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. "Yes, everyone is right. We will get better and better."
"By the way, why didn't I see cousin Ting come for dinner?" Or was she late and everyone had already eaten?
One of the tribesmen laughed and said, "We just sent someone to bring it to him. He's been very busy lately. If we don't send the food over, he probably won't even remember to eat. That's not okay. If the three tribe elders knew about it, they would definitely scold us."
Wei Xiyin smiled, "Then I'll go over and take a look."
"Hey, Wu Niang, go and get busy." The tribesmen stepped forward swiftly to clean up the dishes.
Everyone is used to doing this kind of rough work. Compared to working outside in the wind and sun and cleaning up monsters, the public kitchen is a bit tiring, but it is safer and does not require exposure to the scorching sun.
Wei Xiyin came to the arsenal and inquired about the production of horse armor and the preparation of weapons.
After Chang Ying and General Chen come back, they will set out immediately. The journey is long, so she decided to bring a war horse this time.
"Horse armor?" Wei Ting wiped the sweat from his face, walked out of the smelting room, and led his men to the study. "It's all done. I tried to put it on the horse a few days ago. I saw nothing wrong with it. I let the horse run around the arena a few times and couldn't see any problems."
I wanted to ask my cousin to come and take a look, but she was out clearing out the zombie horde.
Wei Ting had no choice but to make the decision himself and inform Aunt Qi to sew according to the sample.
There were a total of 103 pieces. Hundreds of women from the cloth workshop participated in sewing them, and they were all completed within a few days.
The cousins entered the study.
Wei Xiyin caught a glimpse of the food that had been brought to her and was still lying on the table unopened. It was obvious that Wei Ting was so busy that he hadn't even had time to eat.
