Su Qi and Gu Xiuming's mother wandered around the village again and discovered one advantage of this village: it could become a strategic location in its own right, with mountains and water, and it was also quite large.
There is a lot of wasteland in the village and the mountains are steep.
The forests were densely wooded and stretched out endlessly. I'm afraid there were many wild animals in the mountains, making it a good place to defend and difficult to attack.
"Qiqi, why are you here?" Gu Beiheng, two people from the Gu family's branch, one or two people from Yuezhou Prefecture, and a few unfamiliar faces appeared at the fork in the road ahead.
He saw Su Qi coming over and gave her a faint smile.
"My aunt and I came to the village for a walk and were just about to go back."
"Then let's go back together." Gu Beiheng walked over and greeted Gu Xiuming's mother.
Then he followed Su Qi towards home.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng just left.
Bai Zhi and Gu Xiuming's wife walked over, "Auntie, why are you here alone?" Bai Zhi didn't see Su Qi, so she rushed over anxiously.
"How can you be so reckless, girl? Madam and Master have gone back together." Gu Xiuming's mother glared at Bai Zhi in annoyance.
Bai Zhi stuck out her tongue, held her arm and chuckled:
"Aunt is right. I was just anxious and lost my composure. I won't do that again."
"Go back quickly."
"Well, then I'll go back." Bai Zhi didn't care if there were other people on the road, she said she would go back and ran out.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were walking leisurely on the road.
For a moment.
The two of them had nothing to talk about and had never really been alone together. The atmosphere always felt a bit awkward.
Su Qi's face darkened, and she looked up at Gu Beiheng:
"Beiheng, do you remember I told you there were other disasters in my dreams?"
Gu Beiheng was stunned. He thought everything would be fine once he got there. But did that mean the disaster was still going on?
"Qiqi, you said a cold wave is coming?"
"Yeah. This winter is exceptionally cold. Even if we can save our lives as a family, it's useless. Others will rush over when they see us. Using a human wall tactic is enough to make us suffer."
People can endure being poor, but they will not care about losing their lives.
Besides, if you are successful, you should help the world. Let's take this opportunity to recruit some people." Su Qi did not hide her thoughts.
She has money and food, so why can't she have ambition?
The main reason is that if you live a good life, the person in the capital will have murderous thoughts.
Maybe one day they will send someone over to do everything they can to solve the problem.
They can't just wash their necks, etc., right?
Not so self-aware.
Gu Beiheng felt warm in his heart and reached out to hold Su Qi's sleeve. He smiled softly:
"Qiqi. I just had this idea. Emperor Wu will not tolerate the Northwest Army after all. Even if it's for the soldiers who followed me through thick and thin, I have to fight.
But this road is extremely difficult, are you willing to do it?"
"Is there a choice? Every path is hard. The path we've chosen is just hard up front. It can also be considered paving a smooth road for our children."
Su Qi raised her eyebrows: "By the way. I plan to build a charcoal kiln here in the back mountain and hire villagers to work for us. We will use coarse cloth and coarse grains in exchange for labor.
Also the bed was cold and without any temperature.
I know that in some places there are kangs, where people burn firewood to keep warm in the winter. The entire kang is warm, much warmer than just placing charcoal in the room.
It can also heat some water, and poor families can just put a pot in it to cook. It's not a big deal, all you have to do is be diligent and collect more firewood."
Gu Beiheng knew that there were many books in Su Qi's space.
The words above are missing some parts.
He could barely make out the general idea by opening his eyes wide, but the contents were unprecedented.
I'm afraid this is the life that Su Qi has experienced.
"Okay, draw the blueprint. I'll find someone to try it out."
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi were talking to each other while walking, and the way they whispered to each other made people feel that they were really sweet.
In fact, we are talking about serious matters. If we say something else, it would be embarrassing.
Returned home.
Su Qi called Ying Shiyi and told him about building a charcoal kiln. Su Qi sat in the hall under the small building, which Su Qi converted into an office.
All matters will be resolved here from now on.
Ying Shiyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. The lady's idea coincided with his original idea.
"Go north and call the Gu Xiuming brothers over. Have them help you find people from Mengjiazhuang to cut wood. Have Li Zheng Meng go find them, and earn him this favor."
We'll use coarse cloth and grain to pay the wages. If anyone wants cash, we'll charge them twelve copper coins a day." Su Qi knew that prices would rise in the future, and even if she had money, she wouldn't necessarily be able to buy food.
Don't think that farmers don't lack food just because they grow crops.
The first people to run out of food were the farmers.
The coarse grains and coarse cloth in her space finally found a place to go.
"Yes, madam, I'll do it right away." Ying Shiyi bent down and walked out.
Su Qi took out a notebook and a pen, sat on a chair, and thought about writing down all the things that needed to be done.
Time waits for no one.
The plastic greenhouse also had to be arranged. When Yingyi built the house, he enclosed the yard. The yard was large enough and there was still a lot of open space inside.
We can build a few plastic greenhouses on the vacant land, so that these vegetables can become famous in Yun County in the future.
"Xianghe. Ask Xiaojiu to come over."
"Yes, ma'am. I'll go call someone right away."
"Xianghe, go find Gu Xiuming's aunt later. Ask her to help look after a few nimble young ladies who will go into the yard to do things when the time comes." Su Qi remembered that there were many girls in the Gu family's side branches.
Some of these girls also have education.
It would be better to find those people with good character and good skills to work with her.
Running errands and other trivial matters need to be done by someone. We can't let these maids do all these things.
"Sister-in-law. If you have anything to do, please let Beijing and I do it." Gu Beiting and Gu Beijing walked in together. They wanted to find Su Qi in the morning to tell her that they didn't want anyone to serve them.
Su Qi was in front and hadn't gotten up yet.
Then Su Qi went out.
"You two are supposed to follow me and do things. But not these things. I want you to learn medicine from me." Su Qi knew that there were very few female doctors, and only in the provincial capital and the large state capitals could there be female doctors.
Specializing in treating young ladies and wives from wealthy families.
"Study medicine? Is it really possible to study medicine?" Gu Beiting and Gu Beijing were naturally very happy. It would be even better if they could study medicine.
They fell in love with Su Qi's serious look when she was treating others.
So beautiful.
Su Qi's face was cold and serious as she said, "I have two books here. Take them and study them carefully. I'll give you ten days. I'll test you in ten days. If I go to treat patients in the future, you two will have to help me."
She handed over two copies of Compendium of Materia Medica in traditional Chinese characters on the desk to the two of them to read.
"Sister-in-law. We will study hard." Gu Beijing and Gu Beiting bowed, and walked back happily with the Compendium of Materia Medica.
The two girls started to work day and night and forget about eating and sleeping.
I completely forgot what I wanted to say to Su Qi and was completely focused on the book.
Su Qi carefully listed the things he wanted to do in the small building, and Gu Beiheng also arranged people to dig a cellar in the front yard.
Neither of them knew that something had happened to the Northwest Army.
The Northwest is a cold and harsh place.
While people in other places were still reciting poems praising the autumn harvest, the northwest was already covered with flying snow mixed with sand.
In a valley.
Hiding among the hundreds of Dashun soldiers, each with chapped lips, their hopeful eyes becoming increasingly hopeless.
The persecution from people around them made them step into the enemy's encirclement step by step.
The rescue signal was sent out, but unfortunately there was no backup.
The enemy was only half a day away from them, and they had already run out of ammunition and food.
What awaits them is only death and the despair of being betrayed...
