The key is that Bai Zhiyue showed him the way. If he raised more animals, he could eat their meat and use their skins to keep the soldiers in the cold north warm.
By then, his soldiers will no longer be afraid of the cold and will be strong and healthy. Even if Wutu invades again in such weather, they will not have to worry.
In the past, whenever there was a major cold wave, many soldiers would suffer from frostbite or even freeze to death. The warm clothes they distributed were no match for the furs used by the Wutu people.
His next goal is to increase the scale of breeding, replace warmer clothes for the soldiers in the northern border, and enhance their combat capabilities.
Although the year-end reconciliation was delayed due to road closures caused by heavy snow, the accounts were submitted before the end of the year.
There were no major problems with Huhula's thirty-four managers this time. The main reason was that her reputation had become too famous in the past year or two. Money was important but life was more important. They had the intention but not the courage.
Bai Zhiyue also gave generous bonuses to several people who performed well as agreed, and gave some year-end benefits to others.
What surprised her most was Mo Yansong from Xiangrui Cloth Shop, who met with her alone after the other managers had left.
"You said you wanted to marry Bai Yonglian?"
"yes"
It turned out that Bai Yonglian had saved Mo Yansong at that banquet, and he was very grateful. In addition, Bai Yonglian was meticulous in her workmanship and often came up with some new ideas for embroidery patterns.
The two gradually developed different feelings for each other during their collaboration, but Bai Yonglian had some concerns, so Mo Yansong wanted to ask Bai Zhiyue to be a witness.
"That's a good thing. I have no objection. The most important thing is what she wants. As long as she agrees, I can definitely help you become a matchmaker."
Mo Yansong is happy and smiles
"She will definitely nod if you agree."
Bai Yonglian was not unwilling, but she just couldn't get over it in her heart. She would feel more at ease with Bai Zhiyue's approval. She was also happy to do a good deed, so she helped to invite a matchmaker to go through the process and just waited for a date to be set for the wedding.
Bai Zhiyue was happy to see that she could have a better life, after all, she was the one who saved her.
It was another palace banquet time, and the war in the north had not affected life in the imperial city.
It seemed like a long time had passed since she entered the palace for a banquet again, but in fact it was only a year. This time she could already sit next to Princess Pingyang.
"I heard that people have been asking about your child's biological father recently?"
"It's all for the sake of profit!"
"You want to acknowledge your biological father's identity and earn a free prince consort!"
"More than that, they probably want to acknowledge the child, and have a bigger agenda. Some people simply can't bear to see me suffer, and wrote to the court saying that the child's father is unlucky and can't be given the title he deserves."
The baby hasn't even been born yet, but they're already making a fuss.
"No one knows?"
"No one will know. I anticipated this situation from the beginning, so I didn't select anyone in the Imperial City."
"Well, Madam Tian is very careful in her work, and no one will find out anything. If you don't want to be dragged into the conspiracy again, just beat them out, no matter who comes. If there are any who dare to stand up, it doesn't matter if you kill one or two. It will scare them away and they won't dare to bother you again."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. If anyone else keeps talking too much, I'll beat them up first. If they don't stop, I'll take them to the Dali Temple. They're pretending to be a descendant of the royal family, so I'll kill them."
"Don't let these things affect your mood. If someone intervenes to investigate, it will cut off their hands and feet. If your people are unable to do it, go to the emperor. His shadow guards are very good at doing this kind of thing, and it's their duty to solve this problem for you."
"Thank you, I understand. My brother the Emperor often sends people to visit me and cares about me very much. He also said that he can help me if I need anything.
I've been feeling a little annoyed lately, but I feel a lot better after talking to you. I'm a princess, and there's no need for me to explain to them. If they get annoyed, I'll just learn from you and hit the door, and see who dares to bother me again.
I just wanted to have a child of my own, but I attracted other people's attention and got in their way."
"There are always people who set rules and precedents. Rules are made to be broken. If you do something, you set a precedent."
"Haha, if those old guys heard what you said, they would probably faint from anger."
"Well, pissing them off to death would save a lot of arguments and reduce unnecessary disputes. Maybe it's a good thing after all."
"Haha, talking to you is always pleasant."
"Aunt Princess, isn't Doudou your favorite person?"
Doudou feels that he has fallen out of favor
"Oh, you little kid, you've already learned to compete for favor. Come here, auntie, give me a kiss, and I will never let you fall out of favor."
Bai Zhiyue put Doudou into the princess's arms,
"Here you go. I'm going to have a big meal today, so I won't let him get in the way."
"What are you talking about? You're laughing so loudly, I can hear you from far away!"
The Princess of Qi and the wife of the Marquis of Zhengbei came over together
"Lord Rongfu wants to give Doudou to me, just so I can have a good palace banquet!"
"The princess is pregnant, how can I take care of her? It's perfect for me to give her to you!"
As he said this, he was about to take Doudou away. Today I have the chance to be with Doudou, I can’t let it go!
Bai Zhiyue knew that Princess Qi particularly liked Doudou, so she generously handed Doudou to her. After all, she was close to her and could see it at any time if anything happened.
"Okay, Doudou, let you and Sister Qi take care of it today. The princess and I will have some quiet time."
"Doudou is making trouble at all. He can't be more obedient."
The princess and the princess of Qi refuted at the same time
Well, Doudou is indeed more popular than me.
Princess Qi got the chance to take care of Doudou as she wished, and happily took him away.
Doudou inevitably enjoyed the love from his grandparents again.
Some people get along happily here, smiling happily, but some people are filled with hatred.
Ever since the Wanshan Pavilion incident, Princess Jiayang has been confined to the palace by Prince Rui, hoping she would come to her senses and repent. However, the opposite happened: instead of repenting, she hated Bai Zhiyue even more.
This was the annual banquet, and Princess Rui brought her out, firstly to make her daughter feel better, and also because she had picked out a few families and wanted her to meet people in person and get married sooner.
It really can't be delayed any longer. In the past, matchmakers had to line up to come to her house, but she didn't like any of them. Since the accident, there have been few people coming to her house, and their family backgrounds have been much worse in all aspects.
If I put it off any longer, she'd get older and it would be even harder to find someone. This time, no matter what, I had to let her choose one and not let her do whatever she wanted.
When Princess Rui saw a few people laughing not far away, she was filled with resentment. Her daughter was harmed like this, and she had a falling out with her family, causing the palace to lose a large sum of money.
The sister-in-law was afraid that her daughter would become dependent on her son, so she spread the word that she was looking for a wife for her son. In less than a month, she had chosen a family and made an engagement. The wedding was only scheduled for August next year. It was a big joke. All of this was Bai Zhiyue's fault.
Why is she living such a prosperous life? She is such a disaster that will last for thousands of years.
Feeling a vicious gaze from a certain direction, she turned around and saw that it was the princess and Princess Rui. She hoped they would not seek death, otherwise she would not have another chance this time.
There were a few people who would come here from time to time to check on things, including Mrs. Qu. I heard that her daughter, Qu Yinghong, was betrothed to a sixth-rank official. They would get married in February after the New Year and be sent out in March.
The Prime Minister chose him for the purpose of sending him far away.
