Lu Yuanming didn't let the people of the Lu family know that Lu Xiaoyun still had thousands of taels of silver on him.

Those silver, Lu Yuanming regarded it as his own money for his daughter.

At that time in March, his people quietly sent nearly a thousand taels of silver, a little here and some there, plus the flowers for the wasteland, there was indeed not much left.

"Mother, let's take good care of those crops, even if the harvest is not good, we will not go hungry. Anyway, in the first year of reclamation, there is no need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and it is always possible to save a little. Lu Dalang also spoke.

Lu Erlang nodded.

Lu Huaiyuan said: "Grandma, although Yunyun is not very old, she is a very thoughtful person, she has been home for more than half a year, everything she does is not untargeted, listen to her, there will be no mistakes." ”

Old Mrs. Lu was not angry, "I just discussed it with you, but I said that I was a wicked person one by one." Half the size eats the poor man, there is more than one of our families, besides, is it possible to let Yunyun go hungry when the time comes? ”

Lu Yuanming said with a smile: "With me, whether it is Yunyun or Huaiyuan brothers, they will not be hungry, my mother will put her heart back." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't say okay, right? When you're my age, you'll know what it means to worry. After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she glared at them, then turned around and went back to the house.

In the evening, Lu Xiaoyun came back with a big fat sheep that had been cleaned up, and in addition, there was a basket full of vegetables that they had never seen.

"Let's eat mutton hot pot tonight." Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhao with an expectant expression, "After eating the mutton, then blanch some food, it's delicious." ”

"Where did you learn how to eat?" Zhao smiled, "You really love mutton." ”

"I like all kinds of meat." Lu Xiaoyun's eyebrows and eyes curled.

Zhao called Liang, and the two of them went to get mutton together.

Lu Xiaoyun was about to enter the house, when Mrs. Chen came.

After she couldn't say hello to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Chen said to Lu Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, why haven't you finished what you said last time?" ”

The Chen family has been in the deserted village for more than half a year, and although most of the villagers get along very well, they still want to go back to Mukezhai, and they always feel that it is not good to live here for too long.

But Lu Xiaoyun never came to them to learn how to make wine, and Mrs. Chen didn't want Lu Xiaoyun to run at both ends.

"Hey, I'm busy working in the fields, and I haven't thought about it for a while." Lu Xiaoyun patted his head, "By the way, what do I need to prepare?" ”

Mrs. Chen told Lu Xiaoyun everything she needed to make wine, and Lu Xiaoyun silently wrote it down and prepared to go to the city tomorrow to buy it back.

However, Lu Xiaoyun was still worried about alcohol, and after Mrs. Chen went back, Lu Xiaoyun went back to the room to paint, and finally drew the distillation device.

It's just that Lu Xiaoyun is not sure if this set of devices can be made in this era.

Lu Xiaoyun found Lu Yuanming with the drawings he had drawn, "Dad, can you find someone to make these things I painted?" ”

Lu Yuanming took it over and took a closer look, the things on the drawings were strange, he had never seen them, so he asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"I wanted to try making something stronger. Dad, didn't the military doctor wash the wounds with strong liquor for your serious injuries in the past? But I've seen those spirits in Fengyangguan, they are not strong at all, and they don't have much effect on cleaning external injuries, so I want to make a kind of wine specifically for cleaning external injuries. ”

Lu Yuanming was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

This is true during the war, when many people survive the battlefield and die from injuries that cannot withstand the high fever.

Lu Xiaoyun's words made Lu Yuanming think a lot in an instant.

"Yunyun, can you really do it?"

"It's not guaranteed for the time being, but you have to try, right? Dad, we must have a tough battle to fight. Until then, be well prepared. ”

Lu Yuanming was silent for a moment before looking at Lu Xiaoyun and asked in a low voice, "Does Yunyun want to be the empress?" ”

Lu Xiaoyun shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, I don't have that ability." ”

She is self-aware, and it is absolutely useful to let her go to war to save people, but forget about governing the country! Sleep later than a dog, wake up earlier than a chicken, and there are checks and balances between ministers...... Worrying too much about sudden death, she doesn't want to be such a workaholic.

"Dad, isn't there still Ah Tian?" Lu Xiaoyun whispered, "Ah Tian is not the crown prince, then my father will be the emperor, and when the time comes, my father will choose an heir from the eldest brother and their brothers, perfect!" ”

As for her, her dream is to be a big landlord who owns thousands of acres of fertile land, doesn't have to worry about anything, and can inspect the granaries full every day.

Lu Yuanming almost choked on his own saliva.

Landscape...... Is it so easy to fight? He doesn't have any military power in his hands now, and besides, he finally left that place in the capital, and Lu Yuan clearly has no intention of setting foot in the court again.

"Yunyun, there are some things that can't be said nonsense." Lu Yuanming touched her head.

Lu Xiaoyun snorted, "We are willing to share our own small days in peace, but is it allowed in the capital?" The king of Chu was just not sure whether the prince was dead or alive, and he didn't dare to ascend the throne easily, because Yang Erbo made him jealous. ”

Lu Xiaoyun used to want to live a good life in the northwest, but look at what the king of Chu and Lu Huaixue have done, if they really let them become the masters of this country, then what is it?

"Let's develop obscenely first, and don't care about what happens in the capital for the time being."

"What is lewd development?"

"It's just secretly strengthening yourself, Dad, do you know why I bought that wasteland? Because there is iron ore and saltpeter, and with these two things we can forge weapons and make gunpowder. ”

"What did you say?"

Lu Yuanming looked shocked.

"Otherwise, why does Dad think I went to such lengths to buy so much wasteland? I did want to plant trees, but more importantly the ore! Whoever has strong military equipment is the boss, even Ah Tian said that the king of Chu will attack us sooner or later, so we have to take precautions. ”

Lu Yuanming couldn't believe it.

He knew every word Lu Xiaoyun said, but how could the combination be so lethal?

"Dad, are you stupid?" Lu Xiaoyun beckoned in front of him.

Only then did Lu Yuanming come back to his senses, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yunyun, are you sure that there is really iron ore and saltpeter there?" ”

"Absolutely." Lu Xiaoyun nodded.

Lu Yuanming couldn't calm down for a long time.

The iron ore of Great Wei is said to be an official camp, but in fact, it is mined by the people, which is why the princes of those fiefdoms dare to attack the capital.

They are strong and strong, and they can forge weapons by themselves, and the first emperor stared at those loyal ministers and good generals, and turned a blind eye to the movements of those princes.

After a long while, Lu Yuanming asked Lu Xiaoyun: "Yunyun, do you already have any plans?" ”
