Tana didn't know Xia Ying's little thoughts, but if he went to the grassland, he would definitely bring more help to the grassland.
Moreover, with Xia Ying and his magical new medical skills, the life safety of the young master of the Lu family can be guaranteed.
So, the female clan leader thanked him profusely, said her goodbye, and hurried to report to the eldest princess.
Seeing her leave, Tang Xinyang on the other side of the phone said, "Why do you want to move all the tasks there? It seems more convenient to complete the tasks in Hua'an County."
Xia Ying had already recovered from the excitement of receiving the gift and regained his usual composure. "Of course, if it comes down to difficulty, Hua'an County should be easier. After all, the clinic here is already built. The princess's word is final and she trusts me immensely. Plus, with Zhao Lin's support in the capital, naturally, anything I want will be easy."
Tang Xinyang: "Then why do you insist on going to the grassland?"
Xia Ying: "To spend more time with my junior sister Yan Tao."
Tang Xinyang: ...
This guy actually admitted it shamelessly.
However, Xia Ying quickly continued, "Of course, more importantly, the grasslands are clearly a very important development direction. I've learned from Teacher Bian that the grasslands contain more resources than just grazing. There will likely be many additional industries in the future. Plus, the area is large and the environment is good, so I'm afraid the population will continue to grow." As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and asked Tang Xinyang, "Check on the progress of the railway construction."
Tang Xinyang immediately turned on the computer.
As a member of the student union, Tang Xinyang, who majored in computer science, currently has little use for his skills outside the university, so he basically stays in Langyun University.
Although he cannot "travel" outside as often as other students, he can provide sufficient technical support and logistical support in school.
At this moment, he quickly checked the database and called up the task progress list.
He quickly said, "I've found out that during this period, Qi State has built railways in five county towns, and three of them are now connected by fingertips."
"What are your future plans?"
"From the map, Qi will consider Fenghe County as an important hub, radiating to the surrounding areas... Hey, there's also a railway leading to Zhou State."
"Do you still want to connect to the grassland?"
"How do you know?"
Xia Ying's lips curled slightly. Without further ado, he spoke directly, "Qi and Zhou are now truly allies. Sharing resources is inevitable. Compared to horse-drawn carriages, railways are clearly a more cost-effective method. Furthermore, Bian Yuhang is in charge of planning and constructing the railway. He must know how many valuable resources there are on the grasslands."
"Why?"
"He has strong connections."
"...We've already traveled through time, so why would we still be competing for connections?"
"Teacher Bian, he's his father."
Tang Xinyang: ...
This relationship is strong enough and cannot be compared.
At this time, Xia Ying wiped his face with a cloth, and sweat appeared on his forehead and nose.
Tang Xinyang paused typing and began to persuade him, "Take off your scarf. There's a charcoal stove burning in the house, and you're wearing such a thick pure wool scarf. Aren't you afraid of the heat?"
Xia Ying said, "Don't be afraid."
As he said that, he went to open the window and took a piece of frozen milk ice from the ice jar to eat.
Tang Xinyang was speechless.
Eating ice cubes in the middle of winter is really something.
Xia Ying then asked about the progress of grassland construction, and after having a general idea in his mind, he asked people to prepare things.
Early the next morning, when they went to gather at the city gate, Xia brought three carts full of supplies and another three carts full of spare medicines.
Tana was deeply touched, but a hint of hesitation appeared on her face. "Right now, the tribe has no real income, so we don't have the money to buy these."
Xia Ying was very generous: "Don't worry, everything here is provided by Langyun Medical College. You don't need to pay cash. You can exchange it for Fang's."
Tana was curious: "Write an IOU?"
Xia Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, we don't need any money, and we don't want you to go into debt. We just need 50% of the income from all the medical clinics we build on the grassland in the future."
For the female leader, her own tribe originally had nothing, and the situation of other tribes was similar.
Whether it was the factory clinic or the prison farmland, Langyun helped plan and design them all.
She was grateful and very straightforward: "Let alone 50%, even if I gave it all to the Immortal Lord, it would be what I deserve."
But Xia Ying did not agree, insisting on only half, and made a verbal agreement with Tana.
Since it was not a secret, they did not hide from anyone.
Lu Yuanbo, who was standing by, heard it clearly.
The Lu family members around him were puzzled: "Do all immortals dislike gold and silver? The clan leader said he could give him all the shops, but he still doesn't want them. How rare."
But Young Master Lu saw it clearly: "Running a shop is not easy. If you only take half, it can be said that you are kind, but you are also taking away half of the responsibility. If anything goes wrong in the future, the grassland people themselves will have to pay more attention."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Then someone sighed and said, "As expected, the master is absolutely right. Young master is born with talent for business. If he had not studied and taken the imperial examinations, he would have been very wealthy by now, and would not have ended up like this..."
He didn't say the other half of the sentence, but Lu Yuanbo could guess it: "It's not necessary to be exiled here, right?"
The man stopped talking and just sighed.
But Mr. Lu smiled in an unusually relaxed manner, with his eyes and brows curved, hiding the brilliance in them.
Everyone said he was too reckless and got into trouble, and he admitted that his impulsiveness led to his imprisonment.
But if you say that he is now in a miserable state, he will not admit it.
Even if he maintained his status as the top scholar and entered the Hanlin Academy, he would only be an official of the sixth rank. It would take at least ten or eight years to make it through.
But now, although he seems to be exiled, in fact he has the protection of the eldest princess and the support of the Lu family.
More importantly, I'm afraid I'll have a lot of contact with the immortals in Langyun.
So what if I don’t become an official now?
After some time has passed, when those aristocratic families have been dealt with, the greater the sins I have committed now, the greater the praise I will receive.
He never doubted his future.
From the day when the loyal ministers led by Tan Min chose the Immortal Langyun, the outcome was already decided.
Thinking of this, Lv Yuanbai paused, lowered his head slightly, and chuckled to himself: "You start with the name of justice, but calculate your own gains and losses everywhere. You are so careful and meticulous. It turns out that I still choose to be an official."
The Lu family member standing by didn't know what their husband had just experienced, so they asked, "Why do you say that, husband?"
Lu Yuanbai said softly, "Officials have dirty hearts."
Lu family: ???
At this time, Tana had already arranged the convoy and turned to walk towards Lu Yuanbo.
At this time, Lu Jialang had changed his clothes and looked much better than yesterday. He was no longer pale, and he was neatly dressed, with a bright look.
He is not a handsome man, but he has a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
Although he was just standing there, as a child of a wealthy family, his manners had been taught little by little since childhood, and his every move and gesture had the elegance of a virtuous man.
If it were someone else, they would definitely give a thumbs up.
Unfortunately, Tana was born and raised on the grasslands. Even though she could read and write now, she was still not very clear about the common rules and etiquette. She could not see Lu Yuanbo's demeanor and just said, "Mr. Lu, you stand very beautifully."
Lu Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "I'm so ashamed to receive more praise from the clan leader."
Tana was curious: "Why didn't Mr. Lu hide today?"
Lv Yuanbo smiled and said, "Since you've decided to go to the grassland, you must work hard to adapt. It's not appropriate to always be dodging and evading."
"Then why are you still stiffening your neck and looking up?"
"It takes time to adapt. I'll start from the neck up."
...Okay.
Tana didn't force it, and instead asked, "Master, can you ride a horse?"
“A little bit.”
In fact, as a son of a wealthy family, Lu Yuanbo received a lot of education since he was a child. Moreover, in the Zhou Dynasty, even scholars had to learn some riding and shooting skills.
Saying this now is nothing more than instinctive humility.
Unfortunately, the people he met were the grassland people who were always straightforward.
So, Tana said directly: "Among these horses, mine is the most obedient and suitable for you, Master."
Lu Yuanbai was stunned at first, then his ears turned red: "Then, then you..."
Do we have to ride together?
This, this custom really has some...
Then Tana said, "Of course I'll go get another one. Otherwise, the horse will be too tired if there are two of us riding together."
Lü Yuanbai: ...
Sorry, I was overthinking it.
Because it was a long way from Hua'an County to the grassland tribe, and they were carrying goods, so the journey was even slower, Tana did not delay any longer. She quickly bid farewell to the eldest princess and led the caravan out of the city gate.
Perhaps because the female clan leader was too deeply impressed by Lv Yuanbai's fainting appearance yesterday, she followed Lv Yuanbai on horseback all the way and explained to him the customs and habits of the grassland.
Lu Yuanbai listened and looked around.
There was surprise in his eyes.
In fact, he had seen a lot during his time of being "exiled".
After all, there are many people in Langyun Middle School, and every teacher and student is working hard to go home as soon as possible.
In addition, Zhou State's support for Langyun's various tasks is no less than that of Qi State, and it is even more hardworking, so many county towns have welcomed Langyun people and have undergone changes to varying degrees.
But his memory of the grassland still remains in books.
I just felt that this place should be just like what was described in the book, with a few tents and an empty space. Apart from the sheep and cattle, there were hardly any people to be seen.
But the reality is that places where tribes gather are actually extremely lively.
There are tents, but they are improved tents, and there are brick houses under construction.
There are cattle and sheep, but their number is much smaller than that of the grassland people.
And under Yan Tao's suggestion, the tribes divided their own pastures, drove the cattle and sheep to take turns grazing, and grazed them scientifically. As a result, when viewed from a distance, the depth of the grassland in different places was different, which was very interesting.
As for the desolation of winter, it is completely invisible.
On the contrary, heat waves still occur here from time to time.
When Lv Yuanbo saw the chimney spewing white smoke, he was shocked: "What is that!"
Tana took a look and explained, "It's the boiler."
"You did it?"
"No, there are immortals who specialize in this."
"... Boiler Immortal Lord?"
Tana thought back to what Teacher Bian had said about professional matters, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "You can say that."
Lu Yuanbai blinked his eyes, then exclaimed in amazement, even a pot could become an immortal, the immortal world was indeed very mysterious.
But at this moment, someone on horseback came galloping from a distance.
Tana looked closely and called out, "Bab, what's going on?"
The young grasslander didn't answer immediately. After all, they were near someone else's tribe, so it wouldn't be a good idea to make a scene. So, he waited until he was close to Tana before whispering, "Chief, there are more bandits causing trouble."
When these words were spoken, Lu Yuanbai looked shocked and worried.
Unexpectedly, Tana laughed out loud, her voice filled with excitement: "How many people?"
Bob: "About fifty."
Tana: “A little less.”
Babu: "Don't worry, Chief. I heard that two more groups of bandits are heading our way. They're going to rob us soon!"
Tana: “Well, that’s not bad.”
Lü Yuanbai: ...
Why do you grassland people have different thinking patterns from me?
But Tana didn't notice Lu Yuanbo's expression. She was only thinking about catching the bandits as soon as possible.
Don’t waste the labor that delivers the goods to your door.
So, she whispered to Lu Yuanbo, "My dear, something happened in the tribe, I have to go back first."
Although Lv Yuanbai didn't know what Tana and the others were doing, he didn't stop them because the matter was urgent. He immediately said, "Patriarch, you can go ahead. I'm fine."
Tana nodded, then left all the guards behind to ensure the safe escort of the Immortal and Lu Langjun, and then left with Babu first.
After the convoy had moved forward for about half an hour, Xia Ying, who was sitting in the carriage, could not help but lift the curtain and prepare to come out to get some fresh air.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanbai's eyes lit up slightly.
He was very clear about Langyun's magical weapon, and he understood the vital role of the fairyland in the Zhou Kingdom.
Even just talking can be very beneficial.
So, Lu Yuanbai wanted to ride his horse forward.
But at this moment, suddenly a dozen grassland people surrounded them.
The leader stopped the convoy and asked loudly, "Who are you?"
But his question did not elicit any response.
The Langyun students in the carriage naturally ignored these things, and the Lu family members would not speak as they had just arrived. As for the guards in charge of escorting from Hua'an County, they were all from the barracks. Their mission was to escort, which was a passive defense. They would not move unless the enemy moved.
Now the other party was just talking, so they naturally didn't react.
The Tana people who were also responsible for the escort frowned, obviously knowing each other.
Lu Yuanbai asked softly, "Who are they?"
The tribesman replied in a slightly accented Zhou dialect, "They're from another tribe. They have nothing to do with us... No, they do have something to do with us. They want to take over our pasture, and their priest Chiwu is now working as a bricklayer in our tribe."
Lü Yuanbai: ...
Your relationship is really complicated.
The grassland people who intercepted them obviously recognized the Tana people. Their eyes widened immediately, and they immediately drew their weapons and shouted in Zhou language: "What are you doing here? We don't know about your treasure!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Tana people covered their faces silently, and Xia Ying in the carriage also looked helpless.
Is this called a suicide truck?
But Lu Yuanbai was very calm.
He had no idea about the grudges between the two tribes, and didn't seem to care at all. He said coldly, "Get out of the way and let us pass."
As soon as these words came out, the grassland people who were blocking them became furious: "Why?"
Lu Yuanbo's face no longer had the usual calmness and gentleness, but instead it was indifferent: "What happened between you has nothing to do with me, but I advise you not to think about hurting me."
Seeing him like this, the grassland people thought he was some great figure from the Zhou Kingdom, and their momentum was a little weak: "...Who are you?"
Lu Yuanbai raised his chin and said loudly: "I am a criminal exiled from the Great Zhou!"
...How can a criminal be so self-righteous???
But soon, Lü Yuanbai shouted, "I am a prisoner personally selected by the king with his red pen. I have offended all the noble families. The king has personally chosen me to be exiled here. Only the king can deal with me. If something happens now, who will bear the responsibility for so many sins? If you dare to hurt me, the king will definitely hold you accountable. You will be in big trouble!"
Lu Family: ...
Grasslander: ...
Xia Ying: This is the first time I’ve discovered that accumulating a lot of hatred can be quite useful.
