Chapter Seventy-Six: See You Again
Border pass Yuzhou City
In the study of the little general's temporary residence, Chen Jiacheng sat around a round table with the little general and the military advisor.
The little general held two kinds of grass in his hand and said excitedly: "Jiacheng, can you confirm that horses love to eat this grass, and what kind of alfalfa grass is even around Yuzhou City?" ”
"Back to the little general, but it has been confirmed that when I went home to visit my relatives, I found this kind of grass outside the courtyard, the horse specially picked and eaten, and I was on the way back and forth, almost day and night, the horse whip rarely rested, but along the way to find these two kinds of grass to feed the horse, the horse is not thin but strong, indicating that this grass is very nutritious for horses and livestock."
Chen Jiacheng looked at the little general and the military and listened carefully, and continued: "When I return to the border city, I will intentionally find the sheep official to use this grass and other grasses for experiments, and the sheep also love to eat this alfalfa grass. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I met an old sheep officer who was herding sheep in one of the mountains at home, and he said that this kind of grass can not only be harvested and planted in large quantities, but also dried in the autumn and stored for raising livestock in the winter, and after drying, it is better than other kinds of hay. ”
The little general and the military two glanced at each other, and the military advisor said, "You mean to let the surrounding farmers grow more grass to raise livestock?" ”
Chen Jiacheng got up and saluted the little general and said, "Jiacheng sees that the little general is worried about the hardships of the people in this city, and the source of this hard life is the rebellion of the barbarians.
But the reason why the barbarians always come to rob is because they don't have land where they can grow food, but this kind of grass can be grown in the vast mountain land of the barbarians, and they raise more livestock, can they exchange food and other things with the border towns......
Speaking of this, the little general stood up and looked at Chen Jiacheng fixedly.
The military advisor also hurriedly stood up and reprimanded, "How can a barbarian trade with him!" ”
The little general waved his hand and said: "No, what Jia Cheng said is reasonable, if this matter is feasible, not only will it solve the barbarian rebellion, but it may also be a rich party, and even help my father!" ”
The little general gritted his teeth and said: "If you succeed, you are most likely to leave this city and return to Chengdu!" "The little general is not yet 20 years old, a family of three generations of generals, and his father is defending against neighboring countries in the west.
His grandfather, the old general, was already old at this border for a long time, and he had just married and had offspring, so he replaced his grandfather and returned to the capital to retire, and he was tired of the barbarians' repeated intrusions.
Who doesn't want to go home to enjoy the beautiful concubine, who wants to be exposed to the wind and sun in this bitter cold place!
The little general instructed the military advisor: "Go and call the doorman to come to the study to discuss matters!" ”
Seeing that his opinion was adopted, the Chen family did not need him for specific deliberations, so he saluted the little general and left the study.
The little general looked down and thought about it, but he didn't react.
Chen Jiacheng stood at the door of the study, looking at the skyline of the sunset, the red color reflected his hopeful face, and finally had the rush to retire and go home!
Wait for me......
Here, Wu Peiyao wanted to go out to pull bran to feed the chickens, and instructed the two to watch the house at home, let Wu Shu go to the gentle slope mountain if he was fine, cut some alfalfa grass to dry, and let his sister Wu Man be okay to make his own autumn clothes and pants for the two of them.
I'm afraid that they won't dare to move at home, so let them cook whatever they want to eat at noon, and just bring one more.
After telling the two attendants, Pei Yao picked up the rattan basket and brought the silver and walked to her godfather's house.
On the official road, Pei Yao hummed a song all the way, with a helper at home, she didn't have to worry about eating cold food at noon, and she could stay at her godfather's house for a while without worry.
And Jiajia's house hasn't been there for a long time, so I'll take my godmother to get to know it.
I happily counted today's arrangements all the way, and I didn't see a stalker hidden in the woods by the roadside.
When she came to her godmother's house, she asked her to take her to pull things in an ox cart, because her secret base didn't want to be exposed, so she could only ask someone close to her to help send it.
It's no problem for godfather's legs to get off the ground occasionally or something, so no one needs to keep an eye on it, Pei Yao also wants to buy more cotton to make a new quilt for her father.
Because Dad's legs are inconvenient, so this year's godfather's house can't build a kang, in order to keep warm in winter, Pei Yao has to buy more cotton, and let the godmother make cotton clothes and quilts by herself.
When she came to the riverside and asked her godmother to park the ox cart at the door of the grain store, Pei Yao walked into the grain store and asked the guy to help carry the rice bran onto the car, and then pulled the godmother into the cloth village.
When the godmother heard that she was going to buy cotton for her, she said that she didn't want anything, Pei Yao said: "Mother, forget it in previous years, this year's father's leg was injured, which must not be frozen, once frostbitten, it is really worse, and it may also affect walking in the future." ”
Pei Yao knew that her godmother was reluctant to spend money by herself, and said: "Mother, you see that this cotton is only 15 wen a catty, and a futon is less than 200 yuan, you said that if you freeze my father's leg, don't say that you are guilty, look at the disease, how can 200 money not be enough, besides, this quilt is not just used, it can be used for a few years, and the average annual use of dozens of dollars for heating, do you say it is cost-effective?" ”
As soon as her mother wanted to say that the quilt at home could still be used for drying, the two of them heard "popping" applause from the door behind them, and heard a male voice say: "That's right, if everyone uses unimportant money to take care of their health, then there won't be so much pain, and health is more important than anything else." ”
The two of them turned around, and when Pei Yao saw it, it was that Zhaoting Zhao Gongzi again! Beside him stood a man in a fancy costume who was slightly shorter than him.
Zhao Ting greeted her mother first: "Hello Aunt Wu!" He thought it was Pei Yao's mother, but she was also crooked, so it was right.
Pei Yao said strangely: "Young Master Zhao, don't you live in the county seat, why have you been seen in this town these times?" ”
Zhao Ting raised his eyebrows and said: "Yes, I went to the branch to inspect before, and I just came back when I met you, and now I have nothing to do, I came to the town to find this classmate, and I also came to find him yesterday." As he spoke, he pointed to the son beside him and said, "This is the eldest son of Buzhuang, Li Sheng." ”
The boy there glanced at Pei Yao, looked at what she and her mother were wearing, and said, "Since you know Zhao Gongzi, call me Li Gongzi." ”
Pei Yao nodded: "Li Gongzi." Although Li Sheng looked down on people, no one relied on him to give his face food, and Pei Yao didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he looked down on people as a dog.
Pei Yao smiled politely and said to Zhao Ting: "Zhao Gongzi, then you are busy first, my mother and I are going to buy some cotton fabrics, so as not to delay you." ”
Zhaoting originally came to her, how could he be afraid of delaying him, and said to Li Sheng next to him: "This girl's name is Pei Yao, I know her, can you get a discount when you come to your house to buy things?" ”
This Li Sheng was originally the son of a cloth village in the town, and he usually didn't have the opportunity to get close to his classmates from big families in the county, and he didn't know why Zhaoting came to the door in the past two days, saying that he wanted to discuss knowledge with him. Whatever, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to slap the horse.
Thinking of this, he said to Pei Yao arrogantly: "For the sake of Zhao Gongzi's face, I will give you a twenty percent discount!" Take your pick! I didn't see the twitching eyes of the shopkeeper next to me...... (To be continued.) )
