Chapter 135 A Year's Plan Begins with Spring
Fighting on the grassland is not as simple as defending a city.
On the vast grassland, deploying a small number of infantry troops is basically useless.
As the team grew in number, the Di people fled as soon as they heard the news, and their actions were extremely fast.
In order to save people, the Zhenbei Army, with thousands of troops, fought on the grassland for several months and fought several battles.
The front line deep into the grassland is long, and the number of troops carrying heavy transportation and logistics is huge, more than those fighting in the front.
Now the small Suijin Guards have only a hundred people, which is only enough to defend the city. It is impossible for them to go out to fight in the grassland.
Captain Luo hadn't expected anyone to ask this question. Now, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he pondered for a moment before answering, "If I have the chance, I will do my best to find everyone's loved ones!"
This is already the best answer!
When they returned to Baolin Residence, Song Liyun said to the depressed Song Zhenping, "Captain Luo has done his best. Every year, there are people who are abducted to the grassland.
If the Zhenbei Army had a way to rescue them, they wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to build walls and defend the garrisons."
When Captain Luo said he would try his best to find the people from Suijin Town, she just took it as a comforting word.
Now Song Liyun has a better understanding of the Dilu grassland.
Although Yunzhou of the Wu Dynasty was connected to the Dilu grassland, the lifestyle was very different.
For farmers who are used to plowing in the morning and planting in the evening, becoming slaves means they have to spend the night in the open air and keep warm in the sheepfold at night. It is difficult to survive the first winter on the vast grassland.
Looking at Yunniang who was sewing the soles of Xiao An's shoes with her scarred hands, Song Liyun could only sigh.
Now five years have passed, and I'm afraid only one in ten of that group of people are still alive.
This matter passed quickly. Song Liyun still had to deliver acorns to the town every day, check the progress of the vermicelli, and then pack them and send them to the garrison.
On the last day of the first lunar month, Song Liyun went to Aunt Ma's house to pick up the jacket she had ordered before the New Year. She also brought a few pieces of cloth and asked Aunt Ma to make her a padded jacket.
Although Yunniang was at home to do needlework, she couldn't take care of the clothes, shoes and socks for several people after taking care of the laundry and cooking.
When Aunt Ma saw Song Liyun, she smiled brightly.
After the events involving Tang Xiang and others, as well as the establishment of the Acorn Vermicelli, and now the Suijin Guild Hall, the people in the town are becoming more polite to Song Liyun.
There was no one else in the room. Aunt Ma measured the cloth while glancing at Song Liyun's expression and said, "Miss Song, there's something... they asked me to tell you."
Song Liyun was a little surprised: now everyone who works at Acorn knows that they should talk to Manager Mu about their problems.
If anyone has any complaints about the town's management, they can go to Old Man Zhang from the Suijin Guild Hall, or Xue Zhuang, who will pass the message to Aunt Ma.
"Aunt Ma, just tell me what's going on!"
Aunt Ma said cautiously, "Actually, many families in town are also learning how to grow vegetables from you."
Song Liyun only raised her head slightly, not surprised at all: "There are still people growing vegetables, how are they doing?"
The people in the town knew about it since the garrison helped the Song family expand their greenhouse.
There are no vegetables in winter, so it is normal for others to cook some snacks in warm houses, and it doesn’t bother anyone.
It's just that little bit is not enough for her to value it. There is definitely no other family doing this like the Song family, and Song Liyun is not worried about anyone stealing her business.
"They use clay pots and rotten jars to plant them. What can they grow? Just some vegetable leaves."
Aunt Ma looked at Song Liyun and saw that she didn't seem unhappy, then continued, "They want to ask if they can apply to the garrison for two courtyards and set up greenhouses in them."
Song Liyun instantly became interested.
No problem, it would be great to set it up as an agricultural cooperative.
There are many vacant houses in Suijin Town, which is more than enough to open any workshop you want. It is close to the garrison and there is no need to worry about danger. It is a good time to make a lot of money.
When every family has food and everyone has money, Suijin Town will naturally have a real gold mine, and there is no need to worry about it not becoming prosperous again.
All kinds of restaurants, hotels, and rouge shops are open, and you can experience the pure ancient life.
Song Liyun supports this positive and progressive idea.
However, some things needed to be agreed upon in advance. She could go to the garrison to rent a yard, but the vegetables grown by these families had to be purchased and sold by the garrison.
Except for the residents of Suijin Town, it cannot be sold privately.
Although this approach is not market-friendly, it is the best way to ensure the interests of all parties.
Everyone wants to make money, and she wants to make money too.
After returning to Baolinju, Song Liyun began to count the accounts.
It took more than half a month to buy tables and chairs at the Suijin Guild Hall, and more than half a month to purchase acorns and wages, as well as fodder for Daju and Qingma at the guard post.
She only had thirty taels of silver left from selling carpets in Qili County last time.
My family has no worries about food and clothing, so this money seems like a lot.
But it was not enough for her.
Now spring is coming, the season when all things come back to life.
Song Zhenping and Xiao An have been recuperating for more than two months. They have noticeably gained weight and are now ready to start treatment.
She specifically asked the military doctor at the garrison: Is there any way to treat Song Zhenping's leg?
And can Xiao An's body return to normal?
Song Zhenping's leg was broken, and he worked under heavy load without treatment, which caused a slight dislocation of the bones from natural healing. So he walked unsteadily when he walked quickly.
Xiao An was born with malnutrition and deformity.
There are medicines to strengthen the body in Song Liyun's space, but she doesn't dare to use them.
After all, this is a biological agent that uses drugs to strongly stimulate muscle growth, but it cannot be reborn and reshape the body.
Before taking any medication, it is best to allow your body to adjust to its optimal condition.
For example, if Song Zhenping's leg bones heal according to the standard and are further strengthened, he will have a healthy and strong body.
She was even more afraid to use Xiao An's body.
There is still a chance to grow taller now, but if you grow muscles, you will no longer grow taller and become a dwarf.
Moreover, since the good seeds brought from space could not grow, she did not place her hopes on these potions.
The reply I got from the military doctor at the garrison still gave me a glimmer of hope.
If we want to treat these two people, we must find the best doctor and use good medicine. After one or two years of long-term treatment, there will definitely be improvement.
Song Zhenping's legs need to be re-broken and re-set by a highly skilled doctor so that he has a chance to recover to normal.
Xiao An also needs to find a good internal medicine doctor for treatment. There is a chance before he turns fifteen, and of course the sooner the better.
Ultimately, all of this requires money.
All Wei could provide was food and clothing. If you wanted a large sum of money, you had to find a way yourself.
The money from selling vegetables and several batches of vermicelli has not yet been settled with the garrison. It turns out that I can get twenty taels of silver.
And... Song Liyun bit the tip of her charcoal pencil. It was time for her to get some more things from the garrison to exchange for money!
According to the agreement, Song Liyun could use this silver to mortgage items at a low price. Twenty taels of silver could be used to mortgage at least sixty taels of Dilu furs.
In addition, Qili County.
More than a month has passed, and the group behind Min Gande has not made any move. She does not believe that the other party will give up easily and is just waiting for an opportunity.
As long as you go to Qili County, you will definitely have to face it.
While Song Liyun was pondering, Song Zhenping hurried into the side yard: "Yun'er, Yun'er, come here quickly!"
