[Chapter 138 Chapter 138 A strong desire to survive when facing my sister]
After figuring this out, General Chen went to find Shen Junshan.
As an elder, he did not use his power to bully others.
Of course, it is also possible that he did not dare to put pressure on the fairy.
He just moved people with emotion, and told Shen Junshan a lot about how dangerous the environment was in Xinda, how many difficulties they would encounter when they went on the expedition, and so on...
Then they suggested that Shen Junshan go home and discuss with his family to see if there is any way to ask the fairy to appear and tell her their wishes.
General Chen didn't think Shen Junshan would have any connection with Shen Yuyao.
He felt that the people who could sense the fairy lady should be Prime Minister Shen and his wife, or most likely the Prime Minister's wife.
So the tone of his voice was still very humble.
He said the climate in Xinda is bad, and the most important thing is that it is too cold!
If they traveled from the capital at full speed day and night, it would take at least a month or even forty days. A large group would move even more slowly.
Even though it's still hot in the capital now, by the time the troops reach the border, it should be snowing there.
If the vanguard troops can be provided with enough rain boots so that they can walk on the snow, it will reduce frostbite;
If they could be provided with a certain amount of lunch boxes so that they could make a hot meal on the road, it would be of great benefit to improving the combat effectiveness of all members!
Therefore, General Chen wanted to ask the fairy for some lunch boxes and rubber shoes. If possible, he also wanted to ask the fairy for some magic medicine.
Of course, he never thought of getting something for nothing.
General Chen said that he was willing to offer the fairy lady three kinds of livestock and five kinds of animals, incense, candles and paper, and even a golden boy and a beautiful girl, gold, silver and jewelry...
As soon as I heard General Chen say that there were so many animals and livestock on the steep mountain, I was numb!
He had not forgotten the bad things his sister had said about their father after the last ritual.
In the letter, my sister cried and said that my father scared her and threw a pig's head into her room.
She also said she was almost frightened to death.
Shen Junshan hadn't seen his mother get so angry in so many years!
Even for her father, A-niang did not give him any face.
Not only did they not allow my father to return to the main courtyard for half a month, they even stopped sending him meals.
Not only his father, but also himself was angered.
Originally, the mother had a strife against her second son for forcing her daughter to deliver medicine. This time, she was going to settle both the old and new accounts together!
Shen Junshan was punished by his mother to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night!
...This situation has never happened again since he turned fifteen.
Not to mention that he is now married and his son is already two years old!
So, when Shen Junshan heard General Chen say that he would send three animals and five livestock to his sister, he felt terrible.
He refused repeatedly, saying that he would go back and talk to his father about the matter.
Shen Junshan was even more cautious and said that his father probably didn't have any other options, so he probably had to go find Taoist Xuanling.
Taoist Priest Xuanling has profound Taoist skills, and only he may be able to get in touch with my sister.
General Chen naturally responded with “OK, OK, OK” and “OK, OK, OK”.
He also said that he would go to Xuantong Temple and ask Taoist Xuanling to predict a good day for him. At that time, he would hold a Taoist ceremony and pray to Shen Xiangu in person.
Shen Junshan complained and grumbled in the letter, mumbling for several pages.
From his words, we can tell that he is in trouble at the moment, and has a strong desire to survive when facing his sister.
Shen Junshan was really in trouble.
On one side is his boss, and on the other side is his own sister. He has no idea how to deal with this matter.
In the letter he said that although he had told Shen Yuyao and the others about this, it did not mean that he would force them to agree to help.
Shen Junshan said he could imagine how difficult these requirements were for his sister and brother-in-law.
He had even originally decided not to tell them and try to delay it.
But the previous visit to the Taoist temple made Shen Junshan deeply understand one thing, that is, their second uncle Taoist Xuanling is a stubborn old man who is even more stubborn than their father!
Their father, Prime Minister Shen, is at least reasonable, but Taoist Xuanling is so stubborn that he doesn't care about his relatives.
Just like the matter of sending the offerings to Shen Yuyao, their father had actually raised objections before.
But Taoist Xuanling refused.
Taoist Priest Xuan Ling said that there was cause and effect behind all this, and he could not ignore the gratitude of his followers towards Shen Yuyao.
Shen Junshan said that the general would definitely have to perform a Taoist ritual again this time, and by then their stubborn second uncle would have to borrow the jade plate from home without asking.
But what he meant was, no matter what happens here, it's okay to not agree if it's difficult.
After all, even if we just pray for good weather and good harvests, it is impossible for the gods to appear every time.
Shen Junshan - just afraid that his sister will complain again!
He said he would give her a heads up in advance so that she could be prepared and not get scared again.
As for those lunch box rubber shoes, if you have them, you have them, if not, forget it.
But if the brother-in-law has the ability to get it, he can go and ask the general to let him take the things in exchange.
Shen Junshan also said that Wushuang Country had enjoyed good weather and abundant treasury in the past two years, so their military expenditure this time was sufficient.
Whether it is money or supplies, he will try his best to get it as long as he can do it.
It was this sentence that made Cheng Liyan's heart moved.
Compared to my wife’s hometown, China today is so poor!
Cheng Liyan and his colleagues are in the navy, a force that the country is now vigorously supporting and has certain policy emphases.
But even so, the soldiers in the army could only barely get enough to eat.
But wanting to eat well is simply unrealistic.
When I was in the Sea Eagle Regiment, because it was a front-line combat unit, their food was subsidized more by the government.
Although every meal consisted of steamed buns and pancakes made of two or even three jin of flour, they were guaranteed to eat meat twice a month, and each soldier had a quota of eggs per week.
When we returned to the division headquarters, there were no more eggs and no meat at all.
Even seafood, because there are few opportunities to go out to sea, can only be eaten very rarely.
Soldiers need to be trained and be ready for combat at any time.
How to practice without any oil or water in the stomach?
How can you fight the enemy if you are not strong enough?
Although fish, meat and seafood cannot compare with pork, beef and mutton in terms of fat and water, at least they are also meat.
When I was in the Sea Eagle Regiment, whenever the troops had a patrol or training mission, they would bring fishing gear with them and catch as much as they could.
But now there is no such opportunity anymore.
How to improve the combat capability of the security battalion is a question that Cheng Liyan has been considering recently.
Now, seeing his second uncle mention that their treasury was full, Cheng Liyan was instantly moved.
He thought for a moment and asked his wife, "If I say I want to exchange meat for a lunch box, do you think General Chen will agree?"
Shen Yuyao didn't even think about it and answered very confidently: "Yes!"
