Chapter 362: The weather is not good
"Yunran, you stay here and help watch over Mengyi. Let me know when she wakes up. I've already had someone stew some chicken soup."
Finally, after taking a few more glances at the sleeping Yun Mengyi, Zhao Yuping withdrew and left, consciously deciding not to disturb them.
"Um."
Mu Yunran nodded. She had not planned to go out in the first place. Although Old Yun and the child were safe, they still needed to pay attention to the follow-up. It was naturally not Wanwan's turn to take action personally in such matters. She was enough.
"Wanwan."
Walking towards Shen Xiangwan who was still packing, Zhao Yuping lowered her voice and said, "Do you think we should hire a wet nurse? The child will need milk soon."
Generally, when a child is born in a wealthy family, the mother will not breastfeed the child herself. At this time, they need to hire one or two wet nurses to be responsible for breastfeeding the child.
"No, I'll ask Yuanyue to go to the dental clinic and buy a dairy goat. I'll feed the child with goat milk first. When Master's Wife wakes up, I'll let her decide whether to hire a wet nurse."
Shen Xiangwan frowned almost imperceptibly. The wet nurse was going to live with them, and she wasn't sure whether the master and the others would mind having a woman suddenly come in and out of their room from time to time, so she couldn't make the decision for them.
"Um."
Understanding what she meant, Zhao Yuping nodded in agreement.
When the two of them went out, Shen Xiangwan immediately asked Yuanyue to buy a dairy sheep, and she went back to the room with Wei Chengyi. Because she delivered Yunmengyi in the water, her clothes were basically wet, and she needed to take a shower and change. When they returned downstairs, it was already the end of the You hour and almost the Xu hour, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Master's wife, how do you feel?"
After coaxing the child to sleep at night, Shen Xiangwan and his wife did not go back to their room to rest, but went to Ji Shaohan and his wife's room together. At this time, Yun Mengyi was leaning on the bed and being fed by Ji Shaohan. The fatigue on her face had long disappeared, and she looked very healthy, not at all like someone who had just given birth.
"Very good, thanks to you today."
Signaling her husband to wait a moment, Yun Mengyi raised her head and smiled gently. She felt it after waking up from a good sleep. Her whole body felt comfortable, and even her birth canal was normal. Obviously, this was all because of the marrow washing fluid she was soaked in during delivery.
"I'm glad that Master's wife is okay."
Waving her hand, Shen Xiangwan walked towards Mu Yunran, or more accurately, towards the child she was holding. The child must have been full, sleeping very comfortably, smacking his lips from time to time. Shen Xiangwan reached out and poked his little face: "Don't hold him if it's okay. I heard that if he gets used to being held, he'll always be held by others and will be difficult to serve."
Also, be careful not to let him reverse his day and night, otherwise he will sleep a lot during the day and cry from time to time at night, which will undoubtedly be a great torture for the person taking care of the child.
"Um."
Hearing this, Mu Yunran carefully picked up the child and placed him next to Yun Mengyi, feeling somewhat reluctant. She had been married to her husband for several years and still had no children. It would be a lie to say that she didn't want one, but now they were both busier than the other, and it wasn't a good time to have a child.
Looking at her son who had returned to her side again, Yun Mengyi's face was filled with the glow of maternal love. Originally, she had no chance to be a mother, but unexpectedly, Wanwan gave her such a great opportunity. It was not until she had a child that she was truly sure that she and the old man had a perfect life.
"Master's wife, if everything is fine, we can go back and rest."
Not wanting to disturb the family of three any further, Shen Xiangwan and the other two looked at each other and left one after another, not forgetting to close the door for them.
"Eat some more."
When they were the only three of them in the room, Ji Shaohan picked up the chicken soup again. Even now, when he thought of the pain his wife had suffered during childbirth, he couldn't help but feel his heart trembling. He didn't want to experience it again in his life.
"Um."
Knowing that her old man was worried about her health, Yun Mengyi did not refuse. The couple fed the baby while the other ate the baby. A faint warmth enveloped them.
Zhao Yuping took over Yunmengyi's confinement affairs, and everyone continued to busy themselves with their own things. Shen Xiangwan artificially controlled the daily output of the wine workshop at 10,000 bottles. With strong financial support, branches in Mingzhou and Jiaozhou were quickly opened. In the early stage, Cheng Yusheng distributed 20,000 bottles of wine and sorghum wine of various capacities, totaling 100,000 kilograms to them.
In mid-to-late May, good news came from the provincial capital. All the county magistrates in Chenzhou were replaced by their people. After Shen Xiangwan's reminder that day, Qingying and others quickly adjusted their strategy. With the support of the military, the imperial envoy attacked at lightning speed. Not only the county magistrates, but almost all the officials in the county government, big and small, suffered.
As expected, many officials from the government office tried to stand up to protect those from the county office. Qingying and his men seized the opportunity and have already dealt with several officials from the government office. They believe that it won't be long before they can catch them all in one fell swoop and completely take control of the Chenzhou government.
The weather is still not good this year. There were only a few light rains in the early spring. They are still lucky because last year they asked water-based ability users to help people in various parts of Chenzhou find a lot of water sources. But other places are in trouble. Almost all the crops in the fields have dried up and they will have no harvest again.
"Have the army's food reserves been sufficient?"
In the study, Shen Xiangwan asked worriedly. Just a few days ago, the number of their troops officially exceeded 300,000. With such a huge base, the daily food consumption alone was extremely terrifying. Although she still stored a large amount of food in her space, it could only sustain their consumption for a month at most. If they were not prepared, she could quickly plant them in the space.
"No, we only have one month's worth of food reserves. What I mean is that we have arranged for people to build canals and dig many deep wells in various places to ensure continuous water supply as much as possible to protect the people's crops."
If they just store grain, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Moreover, the whole country suffered a disaster last year, and the grain outside is not cheap. They have high-yield grain varieties, and as long as they can grow them, there is no need to waste so much money to buy high-priced grain. Fortunately, the water resources in Chenzhou area are still very abundant. So far, there has been no extreme water shortage. Although the people's crops are not growing as well as in previous years, they are not completely harvested.
"Um···"
Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately. After a moment's thought, he said, "Last year, I planted a lot of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes in the space. How about this? The harvest from the military fields can be kept for the army's own consumption, and the seeds needed by the people can be enough with those in the space."
"That's fine, I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it."
Reaching out, he lifted the hair that had fallen to her cheek and put it behind her ear, Wei Chengyi said softly.
