"Auntie, are you willing to part with her?"
"Ah, oh, you mean Han Mingjiang? Does he have that kind of talent? You think he has potential?!"
Xuan Shen looked at Li Lanzhen, who seemed completely unsurprised, and smiled.
"Yes, Auntie, I've got my eye on Second Brother Han Mingjiang."
After the training camp was established, we selected several talented children to go there.
Han Mingjiang and Xue Bao also went to participate in the morning training every day.
They are all very good; they are physically fit, diligent, inquisitive, and hardworking.
Especially the second brother, Han Mingjiang, is incredibly strong!
All the training exercises were well received, and most importantly, the last time we conducted group wilderness survival and combat training.
He was given a group of seven people, and they ultimately defeated the other ten groups to win.
At our summary meeting, he stood at the front and spoke eloquently, spouting all sorts of theories, such as "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" and "feinting to the east while attacking the west."
I knew he was both brave and resourceful, so I thought I'd ask you if you were willing to invest in developing him in that direction.
"Okay, ask him yourself. If he's willing, I'm willing to let him go. Children will always grow up. The sky's the limit for birds to fly and the sea is the limit for fish to leap."
Only by being tempered in the vast world can they grow!
The existence of this training camp was known to a small number of people in Peach Blossom Spring.
Xuan Shen and Xiao Wu selected some children from among the children who were suitable for martial arts training.
They were consulted about their personal opinions before being taken to participate in the training.
Shi Tou was one of them; none of the eleven children in Lishu Village had gone through that training. The main reason was that none of the eleven children wanted to participate in such training.
Thinking only that the eleven of them couldn't be separated and had to stay together, they followed Li Lanzhen to farm in Peach Blossom Spring to support themselves.
They were happy to go to school to learn to read, regardless of whether they were boys or girls. They were willing to study after earning work points.
Han Zhaoxiong, Da Niu, Er Niu, and Han Dachong's two youngest sons all participated in the training camp.
These children have all persevered, and I just heard from Xuan Shen that they are all doing quite well.
Han Mingjiang was the most outstanding among them.
Li Lanzhen was also very happy. The children each have their own development path, and if he wants to, he can just follow that path!
As for the "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" strategy mentioned earlier, it must have been Han Mingxiang who showed the "Thirty-Six Stratagems" to his brother.
Before Han Minghai left, he also gave him a copy of "The Thirty-Six Stratagems" that he had copied himself.
He also told his older brother that the business world is like a battlefield, requiring a lot of strategy, and told him to study hard.
Back in Hanjiacun, due to limited family resources, they only managed to send Han Mingxiang to school.
But the brothers have a good relationship and they all understand each other's hardships.
Every day when Han Mingxiang went home on his days off, he would teach his older brothers to read and write.
I also gave them both a week's worth of homework to practice.
Of course, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones are all very expensive; even coarse paper is unaffordable.
Their father commissioned several sand trays for them to practice calligraphy in.
So the eldest and second eldest sons can read some words; they're not completely illiterate.
As for their superhuman strength, that's the result of her giving them some kind of superhuman strength pills.
They all drank the "power pill," but because their individual constitutions and absorption rates differ, the amount of strength they exhibited was different.
Li Lanzhen discovered that even if she ate a whole strength pill, she was still not as strong as the second brother.
The second child was the strongest among all those who had taken the "power pill".
The other one is Han Zhaoxiong.
Strangely enough, Han Zhaoxiong drank more than half a bowl of the wild vegetable porridge that contained a powerful pill.
He actually absorbed this energy, and his strength was only slightly weaker than that of the boss, Han Minghai.
Later, Xuan Shen told her that there were pills he had prepared to regulate her body in the thatched shed next to the medicinal field in the space.
He can feed his family all year round, which is why he is in such good health!
"Auntie, the Empress has not yet gained a firm foothold in the harem and is often squeezed out by the Imperial Noble Consort."
Upon hearing this, Li Lanzhen realized it was a palace intrigue, but she didn't understand palace intrigue and had no strategies to offer.
"And what about the Emperor? Is the Emperor good to her?"
"Of course the Emperor is good to the Empress. They are childhood sweethearts and deeply in love. However, due to the power of the Consort's family, the Empress sometimes has to swallow her anger."
"Oh, I see. You seem to have mentioned that the Imperial Concubine's brother was stationed at the border."
"Yes, we'll garrison the southeastern border!"
"Is he loyal to the emperor, or does he show any signs of plotting a rebellion?"
Xuan Shen shook his head after hearing this, "Not yet, but according to the results of An Yi and the others' investigation."
Something is being secretly planned on the southeastern border.
so…"
"So, you want to secretly train a team here, and you've taken a liking to Han Mingjiang."
"If something happens on the southeastern border, do you want him to lead his troops in a surprise attack and take over?"
Xuan Shen grinned and nodded, "Yes, Auntie, you're so smart."
"Alright! I support you. If anything happens, let me know in advance and I'll prepare rations for the soldiers!"
"Okay, thank you for your support, Auntie!"
After Xuan Shen finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Lanzhen.
The next day, the large ship of Sifang Restaurant sailed into Peach Blossom Spring and docked at the Eleven Trees Wharf.
Li Lanzhen, Sanwang, and Shanxing's nine children were already waiting here.
At their feet were a dozen or so baskets filled with sweet potato vines.
This is what Li Lanzhen prepared for them in the space.
The sweet potato vines were prepared by Li Lanzhen in her spatial storage, just waiting for these people to arrive so she could take them directly to Lishu Village to start planting the sweet potato vines.
Plant a batch of grain there first; having grain will give everyone hope.
As for cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and farm tools, they have already been delivered to Lishu Village one after another.
The mulberry bushes and wheat ears usually feed them there.
After everyone disembarked, Xiao Er happily got off the boat and quickly ran up to Li Lanzhen to greet her.
"Auntie, I'm here!"
Li Lanzhen recognized him as a waiter from the Sifang Restaurant.
He figured it must have been Manager Hua who arranged for him to deliver these people.
He quickly took the child's hand and said.
"Okay, welcome! Why don't you stay here for a couple of days before you leave?"
The waiter looked longingly at Peach Blossom Spring, but still shook his head and said...
"No, Auntie, I'll drop them off and then head back by boat this afternoon. The restaurant is short-staffed."
"Alright, have lunch here. I'll bring you some good food before you go back."
The second brother jumped up happily.
Li Lanzhen had heard Manager Hua mention the child; he was the one who opened the door of Sifang Restaurant one winter morning.
I saw a four or five-year-old child collapse in the snow in front of the restaurant.
They carried him into the restaurant, gave him hot water and covered him with a blanket, and he slowly recovered.
Only after asking did he learn that his grandparents and parents had all died on the way to escape the famine, leaving him all alone.
After wandering for more than ten days, they finally arrived in Youzhou City. They were so cold and hungry that they fainted as soon as they reached the entrance of their restaurant.
From then on, Manager Hua left the child at Sifang Restaurant.
The young man is small but quick and hardworking. He never eats for nothing and will do any work he can.
The chefs and waiters in the restaurant all liked him, and he stayed there for ten years.
Li Lanzhen felt sorry for the child when she heard this, but she was also glad that he had met the kind shopkeeper Hua, otherwise he would have been left with only his family.
