As soon as the cannon was launched, the State of Shao produced hundreds of them in a short time, and there were countless shells.

Most of them were safely placed in military camps and heavily guarded, while a small number were distributed to various border defense units.

All of a sudden, countless horse-drawn carriages equipped with cannons and bombs, as well as officers and soldiers, set out from the capital. Once they left the capital, they dispersed to their respective destinations.

Jiang Shanhe and Li Shouji stood on the city wall, looking at the spectacular scene in the distance, feeling deeply moved.

"Brother! You are awesome!"

Jiang Shanhe's face was filled with joy and he patted his shoulder heavily with his big hand. He really almost delayed him.

"Hmph, now you know, I don't know who said some time ago..."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you a drink."

Li Shouji chuckled, "I was waiting for you to say this."

"Let's go." Jiang Shanhe led the way, and the two left the tower one after the other.

"By the way, why didn't you tell the emperor about your reward when he asked about it?"

Jiang Shanhe has always been curious about this matter. At a press conference some time ago, the emperor was very happy and wanted to reward him on the spot, but when he asked him what he wanted, he hesitated for a long time but did not say anything, so the emperor asked him to think about it carefully and ask again later.

"I... haven't thought about it yet. Let me think about it."

Li Shouji kept silent about the matter, but Jiang Shanhe was not so ignorant, so he easily brought up the topic.

Li Shouji looked at Jiang Shanhe obscurely. He really needed to think about it carefully...

As soon as they returned to the mansion, they were stopped before they entered the door. They turned around and found that it was Eunuch Su.

Jiang Shanhe looked at what the visitor was holding and understood.

"Eunuch Su."

"Hello, General." Eunuch Su looked at Jiang Shanhe with a smile, then looked at Li Shouji, "I have come here with good news~"

As he spoke, he gestured to the imperial edict in his hand.

Without hesitation, the two men bowed and accepted the order.

"The Emperor, by order of Heaven, declares that Li Shouji has created a weapon of great destructive power for the country, and has contributed greatly to the prosperity of the country of Shao, so he is specially awarded 100 taels of gold. Accept the decree."

Li Shouji stepped forward and took the imperial edict with both hands, "Thank you for your grace."

After the two stood up, Eunuch Su said to Li Shouji, "The emperor said that since you haven't thought of your request yet, I will give you something practical first. You can think about the rest slowly. There is no rush."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift." Li Shouji nodded with a smile. It was good that he was allowed to raise the money. Just now he thought his request had been converted into gold.

After talking for a while, Eunuch Su left.

Just when the two were about to go in, they happened to meet the postman who had arrived. When Jiang Shanhe saw the familiar dress, his heart was delighted and he looked up involuntarily. He looked like a handsome little boy.

Li Shouji, who was ordering people to carry boxes, glanced at Jiang Shanhe, then turned his head away with an angry look, and pursed his lips to make a slurping sound, looking at his face full of lust.

If he continued to look, he would go blind, so he urged the soldiers carrying the boxes to hurry up and stay away from this disgusting man.

Jiang Shanhe's only thought was about the arriving postman. As he watched him take out the envelope and the package from the carriage, his heart beat faster and faster. It was as if his ears had gone deaf, and he could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

As usual, the postman would ask for some information and only hand it over after confirming that it was correct.

"Excuse me, are you Jiang Shanhe, General Jiang?"

“…”

"Hello?"

"…………" Jiang Shanhe had no way of hearing his words. His ears were deaf and all he could see were the envelope and the package in his hands. His eyeballs were shaking along with them.

"…Hello, you are."

"He is." The officers and soldiers beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so they spoke up for the general.

"Okay." The postman exhaled, "Then do you know Qin Xiaoguo, Madam Qin from Taohua Village?"

"Mrs. Jiang." This time he didn't need the soldiers to answer for him. When he heard her being called Mrs. Qin, he came back to his senses subconsciously. She was the real Mrs. Jiang.

"Oh, your letter and package."

The postman handed it to him with a smile on his face and said, "It doesn't matter, Mrs. Qin or Mrs. Jiang, as long as she is the right person."

The moment Jiang Shanhe received the letter, he ran back to the room. Yes, he ran with his arms thrown wide open.

On the way, he ran into Li Shouji who came out to look for him, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Never mind—"

Wow, you even speak with a rising voice.

Li Shouji sneered. What else could he do? He was just hiding from the cat to read the letter.

Li Shouji shook his head and went back to his room. He had originally wanted to ask Jiang Shanhe to help him figure out where to hide the gold, but it seemed that Jiang Shanhe was too busy to do so, so he decided to figure it out himself.

Jiang Shanhe returned to the house, closed the doors and windows as usual, sat alone at the table, and nervously put down the two items in his hands.

After much hesitation, he finally opened the envelope. Although he also wanted to open the package, reading the letter was more important.

"Jiang Danhe has become so capable that he actually stole Xiaoyi's dried pears..."

When Jiang Shanhe saw the beginning, his heart skipped a beat. How, how did Xiaoguo know this!

"Don't wonder how I know this. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable..."

Oh?! Jiang Shanhe was almost stunned. How did he guess that?

"As Mrs. Jiang, I have magical powers. There is nothing I don't know..."

Seeing this, he smiled indulgently. It turned out to be because of magic...

"Isn't it a little late to receive the letter? Hehe, that's because I almost forgot about you~"

How can Jiang Shanhe sit still now? He can't do anything if he forgets about him! He won't allow it, he won't allow it~

"Don't worry, I'm just teasing you, hahahahahahaha..."

Countless hahaha, don't be confused, that's because Xiaoguo is making up the word count. She feels that it would be a bit insincere to write an incomplete letter. After all, Jiang Shanhe's letters are three pages each time.

From the moment Jiang Shanhe saw the letter, the smile on his face never faded. He did not open the package until he read to the end.

There were the dried bananas that Xiaoguo mentioned, as well as sugar-roasted chestnuts, two pairs of woolen socks that she had sewn herself, and a fleece vest, the kind with wide, close-fitting suspenders. Xiaoguo made one for each of them, and Jiang Danhe's was black.

Jiang Shanhe happily counted the things in the bag, ate and touched them one by one, then picked up the envelope again and read it again, again, and again...

I took out the few remaining dried pears and poured them together with the dried bananas and sugar-roasted chestnuts. This way there was more and it looked happier.

These days, he had been frugal and only had a few dried pears left. Fortunately, he hid them deep enough and Li Shouji, who had a dog nose, didn't find them, otherwise there wouldn't be anything left.

I rubbed the woolen socks and the woolen vest again and again, kissed them again and again, and hugged them again and again before putting them in the closet, preparing to take a nice shower tonight and put them on early tomorrow morning.

After packing up everything, he sat back at the table, looked at Xiaoguo's handwriting, couldn't help but picked it up again, and prepared to do it again.

After reading it again, I remembered the other letter in the envelope.

So he reluctantly put down Xiaoguo's letter and picked up Zhuangzhuang's letter to read.

The tone was still playful, and between the lines were complaints against Jiang Shanhe, saying that his father was partial and only wrote to his mother and not to him.

He was in a state of confusion watching this, this little jealous guy, okay, okay, I'll give each of them the same next time.

Oh, no, two for Zhuangzhuang and three for Xiaoguo.

He read the letter over and over again until it was late, then he packed up, put the letter neatly in the closet, and turned to look for Li Shouji.

I heard that Li Shouji has a lot of soaps and other things, so I plan to borrow one to use for taking a bath later.
