Chapter 81 Ning San Arrives
Lian Philo quickly bought all the items that were refreshed today, then put down the book in her hand and walked out of the study with her short legs to look for her mother.
In the kitchen.
Lian Feiluo looked up at Xu Yuzhu and asked like a little adult, "Mom, has Dad asked about the harvest in Yushan?"
Lian Jing, who had just come in with a small bundle of firewood, heard his daughter's words and quickly slapped his forehead with one hand. He said with a little annoyance, "I said I forgot something, and it turns out it's this important matter."
"Fortunately, our Luo'er reminded me. I will go to the registration office to ask. I heard that there was a drought in the northwest before. I wonder if it will continue next year." After saying this, Lian Jing quickly walked out of the yard and headed towards the registration office.
Registry.
Feiyan looked at Li Zi and asked, "Manager Li, I'm leaving my seventh sister and her family in your care. If anything happens, please arrange for someone to come to the military camp to find us."
Li Zi saw the look on Feiyan's face and realized something must have happened in the barracks. He readily agreed, "Captain, don't worry. Even the family is kind-hearted. To be honest, they've discovered a high-yield sweet potato crop and plan to prepare the land and plant it in the spring."
“Potato”
"Yes, I have personally seen it, and I have also agreed with the second master of the Lian family that after the spring of next year, the land will be cleared and then planted. If the planting is successful, the Lian family will have made an indelible contribution."
Han Yi looked at Li Zi with joy and asked, "Li Zi, do you know how many sweet potatoes there are?"
Li Zi understood what Han Yi was thinking. He also wanted to feed his brothers in the barracks, but the sweet potatoes were not much.
So, he frowned slightly and said, "I estimate that I can plant several acres of land."
"What are you going to do with these acres of land?"
"In reply to the captain, I would like to ask the captain to assign someone to stay in Yushan, saying that the sweet potatoes were brought by the captain. Although these are all exiled prisoners, the population is very mixed, and most of those left here are wounded soldiers who have retired from the military camp..."
Hanyi and Feiyan understood the hidden meaning in Li Zi's words, looked at each other calmly, and then nodded.
The two knew he was a man of many ideas, but his heart was always on the barracks. As for the sweet potato issue, even if they hadn't come today, he would have found his way to the barracks.
Since this guy has already made plans, and the Lian family can't leave here now, that troublesome Ouyang family is also here, and there are those worrying children...
Thinking of this, Han Yi and Fei Yan exchanged glances again and decided that since this guy came to facilitate their efforts, they might as well arrange a few more people, which would be more convincing.
As for the future, we’ll talk about it later. For now, let’s arrange the things at hand.
With one of them here, they will feel more at ease even if they return to the barracks, and those who want to target the Lian family will have to think twice.
Therefore, it was natural for Laojiu A Tian to be kept, without any resistance at all.
As for arranging other people to come, this matter needs to be discussed with Ning San.
Afterwards, Han Yi told Li Zi about their plan, and Li Zi was very happy to hear it, and the matter was settled.
The three of them talked about other things for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time, Feiyan and Hanyi stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as he reached the door of the registration office, he saw Lian Jing walking towards him in a hurry.
Seeing this, Feiyan was the first to speak up: "Lian Jing, you are so anxious, what happened?"
"Fifth sister, Sixth brother, it's okay. I just have something I want to ask Manager Li."
Hearing that everything was fine, Feiyan felt relieved, then looked at Li Zi and motioned him to speak.
Li Zi took a step forward and said, "Master Lian, what's the hurry?"
"Manager Li, I'd like to ask, I heard a while ago that there's a drought in the northwest and food is in short supply. Is this true? Will the drought continue next year?"
Hearing this, Li Zi's face darkened, and he whispered, "It's hard to say. The snow this winter is even lighter than last year's. I guess even with the spring thaw, life won't be any easier. It's been drought-stricken here for three years, and life is getting harder every day..."
"Those sweet potatoes you and Master Lian found are drought-resistant and high-yielding crops. They are the hope of the more than 500 people in Yushan..."
After Li Zi finished speaking, Han Yi also said with a bad face: "We are also tightening our belts and cutting back on food. If it weren't for the Northern King, we don't know where we would be now."
Lian Jing sensed a serious tone in their words, and then looked at the three of them, thinking to himself...
Seeing that Lian Jing looked thoughtful, the three of them kept silent, fearing that they would accidentally interrupt the thoughts of Lian Jing, the "brain trust".
Lian Jing pondered this for nearly an incense stick of time.
When he came out of his thoughts, he saw the three people who had been with him. He was moved and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
Han Yi looked at Fei Yan and Li Zi, waved his hand and said, "Okay, since there's nothing else to do, we'll go back first. Li Zi, the general will be coming over in the afternoon, remember to bring him to the Lian family."
"yes."
"Um."
Watching the three people leave, Li Zi thought to himself: Fortunately, I felt that Mrs. Lian looked familiar and didn't make trouble, otherwise I would be...
really.
The captain's previous teachings were really useful. I have to hold on to the Lian family tightly.
Time passed quickly and it was already afternoon. The sky was getting darker and darker, but Ning San and his group still had not appeared.
Not only did Li Zi have no doubts at all, he also went to the Yushan checkpoint in person to wait.
After an incense stick of time, three people appeared in Li Zi's sight.
As the three people got closer, Li Zi could see who they were.
The next second, he raised his hand and called two guards to follow him to meet the enemy.
"I, Li Zi, greet General Ning, Lieutenant General Dian, and Lieutenant Tian."
The two who followed also bowed and saluted: "Your subordinate Gangzi (Zhao Daniu) greets General Ning, Lieutenant Dian, and Lieutenant Tian."
Seeing familiar people and hearing familiar voices, Ning San's serious face showed a barely perceptible smile. He looked at the three people and nodded in response: "Well, all good, it seems that you have adapted to life in Yushan. Not bad!"
"Li Zi, Captain Yan and his men have arrived."
"Here we are. We arrived before daybreak today and are now at Mr. Lian's house. He has asked me to lead the way for you, General."
"Okay, let's go." Ning San was the first to get off his horse. He pointed to a cart while holding the horse and said, "Each of you carry one of the sacks on the cart. I brought them for the soldiers guarding Yushan."
"General"
Seeing the three people wasting time, Ning San said directly: "Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and carry it. Once it's put away, come and lead the way."
Before Li Zi could say anything else, Gang Zi, who had received Ah Tian's death gaze, immediately responded, "Manager Li, you lead the way for the general and the others. Zhao Daniu and I will carry them back."
"Right, right, right. We can't keep the General waiting. We'll take care of this."
