Seeing the boy's suddenly bright eyes, Qin Bin walked forward and patted his son on the shoulder. "If you really don't want to go back to Beijing, I'll let you do what you want. But the military camp is not a place for you to play around! Move back to the general's mansion obediently later."
Qin Yue was unwilling to give in, and after a long pause, he replied in a muffled voice: "I understand!"
Qin Bin nodded. "Your cousin found some high-yield crops from the south last year, but we haven't seen them before, and we're still struggling to figure out how to grow them. I'm entrusting this to you. It's crucial to the future survival of the Northwest Army, and I hope you can handle it well!"
Although this matter was not like charging into battle on the battlefield, it was also related to the establishment and growth of the Northwest Army. Although Qin Yue was in a low mood, he was not really as disappointed as before.
Qin Bin looked at his son, who had calmed down a bit, and continued, "Your cousin is keeping these seeds for now. I'll let him explain the details to you later. Okay, everything's fine, you can all go down now!"
The two of them then took their leave and walked out of the meeting hall side by side.
Xing Yun glanced at his cousin out of the corner of his eye.
Qin Yue had a wooden face, not as lively as before. Thinking of what his uncle had just said, he himself was puzzled.
The two walked in silence for a while, and then there was a fork in the road. Xing Yun stopped and said calmly, "You did a good job last time!"
Qin Yue couldn't help but be stunned. He and this cousin were just friends in person. When he was alone in the capital, Qin Yue often envied this cousin. Why did his father bring him with him while leaving his own son in the capital without any care?
Qin Yue couldn't understand it when he was a child, but after arriving in the northwest, Qin Yue saw Xing Yun eating and living with the soldiers, and training with the soldiers regardless of the cold winter or the hot summer, and never missed a day!
From the soldiers' clothing and meals to their training and guard duty, he personally took care of everything, no matter how big or small.
Qin Yue could see that this cousin was completely focused on the development of the Northwest and had never had any selfish motives!
The soldiers respected the young general from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Yue stopped and smiled suddenly. When he smiled, his narrow and long phoenix eyes seemed to be shining, as if the gloom just now had never appeared on this young man.
"Thank you, cousin!"
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Xing Yun put his hand to his lips and coughed, "Come on, I'll take you to see the high-yield crops we found last year!"
The two cousins came to the cellar where the sweet potatoes were stored. Xing Yun said to Qin Yue, "It is said that this thing can produce 2,000 kilograms per mu. However, this is the first time I have seen it, so I don't know much about the habits of this crop!"
Qin Yue walked forward, picked up one and looked at it carefully, and was surprised. "This thing has such a high yield per mu. If it is planted properly, it can alleviate the problem of food and grass in the army."
Looking at his cousin who was frowning in thought, Xing Yun continued, "It's just that none of us have ever planted it before. We need to go find Miss Li from Lijia Village. She was the one who discovered this thing!"
Qin Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was that girl.
As the two emerged from the cellar, a young general approached them: "Young Master, the general has asked me to help you move your things to the general's residence. What do you think?"
Xing Yun was stunned for a moment, then patted his cousin on the shoulder: "You go and do your work first. We can talk about planting seeds tomorrow!"
Qin Yue nodded, strode back to his residence, and packed up his belongings.
Seeing Qin Yue's ugly face, the soldier didn't dare to step forward to help for a moment, until Captain Wang, who heard the news, came and interrupted the tense atmosphere between the two.
Wang Yao was the first to step into Qin Yue's residence: "I heard from the young general that you are moving out?"
Qin Yue shrugged and said helplessly: "He was driven away!"
Looking at the frustrated young man, Wang Yao wanted to comfort him: "Our Northwest Army only looks at strength. Your performance in Lulu County is obvious to all. The general's arrangement may have some deep meaning. Don't take it to heart!" After that, he punched Qin Yue on the shoulder.
Since returning to the camp from the border town, Qin Yue has also felt the change in the soldiers' attitude towards him.
In the past, when soldiers met him in the barracks, they either pretended not to see him or secretly talked about him in the corner.
Now when the soldiers met him in the camp, they not only greeted him with smiles, but some were even brave enough to want to challenge him to a martial arts competition. This change made Qin Yue feel accepted, but for now...
Qin Yue's men continued to clean up and replied softly, "I understand!"
At this time, Cen Bo came in from outside: "Master, let me handle those trivial matters! You can go back to the mansion first. I have already prepared your residence over there!"
Seeing Uncle Cen, who had been by his side since childhood, Qin Yue was still very surprised: "Uncle Cen, when did you arrive? Have you dealt with the affairs in the capital?"
Seeing someone coming to pick up Qin Yue, Wang Yao felt relieved and patted Qin Yue's shoulder heavily: "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find you for a drink when I have my day off!"
"You're always at my service!" He then sent Wang Yao out the door.
Uncle Cen was very pleased to see that the young master had been able to make friends in the army in just a few months.
When this child was in the capital, he always looked uninhibited and seemed to care nothing about anything, but in fact he was very thoughtful.
Uncle Cen felt heartbroken when he saw his child, who had grown up under his care, arming himself with indifference.
