It's also quite rewarding to build a bustling city with your own hands
Five families with eight or nine children, ranging in age from seven or eight to teens, stood crampedly in patched clothes.
"Hello sister, hello lady."
"Don't be nervous, let's sit down and eat."
Liu Yan looked at the children who were as thin as a hemp stick, and hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.
The youngest child couldn't help but drool as he watched the fragrant food.
Ye Lanming smiled and sandwiched a piece of meat for him: "Eat it." ”
The little boy looked at Ye Lanming and thanked him very politely: "Thank you, sister." ”
More than a dozen people sat at a large table, and after just a few simple words, several people became acquainted.
"Auntie, what do you usually do?" Ye Lanming asked.
"When the farm is busy, I usually grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks to subsidize my family, and I can go to the wild to dig wild vegetables before, but I don't dare to go out in the past few years, for fear of meeting grassland people." Aunt Wang, who was sitting next to Aunt Zhang, said, with some embarrassment in her tone.
"Now life can go on, just live like this first."
"Are the steppe people so close?" Liu Yan frowned slightly.
"Fortunately a few years ago, General Mo led the army to beat the grassland people, but it has not worked in recent years, and the Mo family army rarely takes the initiative to attack, and they all wait for the grassland people to come over and then counterattack." Speaking of this, Aunt Wang also sighed, and her old face was full of disappointment.
"Although I am just a civilian woman who can't read a word, I also know that General Mo is difficult to do, and the imperial court has not managed Mocheng for a long time......" When she said this, Aunt Wang's eyes were full of disgust.
"Fortunately, there is also General Mo."
Ye Lanming and Liu Yan looked at each other, and Liu Yan asked tentatively: "Auntie, don't you want to move inland?" ”
"What to move?" Aunt Wang said in a calm tone: "Mocheng is the home of my ancestors for generations, even if I die, I will die here!" ”
"If we all thought like this, then Mocheng wouldn't have held out for so long." Another aunt said quietly.
"Mocheng is here for us, if Mocheng dies, we will die with Mocheng."
The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, and Aunt Zhang broke the dead silence with a smile: "What are you talking about these frustrating words?" ”
"General Mo will definitely hold Mocheng."
"Yes, I believe in General Mo."
"Mocheng will definitely not die!" Ye Lanming was silent for a while, she looked at the people with smiles on their faces, and said seriously.
"Miss Lan Ming is right, the last defeat must be the grassland people!"
After eating lively, Aunt Zhang and a few people surrounded Liu Yan and said, "Sister, you just came to Mobei, if there is anything unclear or any trouble, just come to us, we will definitely help if we can help." ”
"Okay, if I need your help, I'll definitely speak, we're all sisters." Liu Yan said with a smile and sent them out.
"Goodbye ma'am......" said the children obediently, each of them with a round stomach and a satisfied expression.
"Come and play when you have time." Yoo Yeon pinched the youngest child's cheek.
sent away a large number of people, and the mess on the table had already been cleaned up by Jiang Jingjing and others.
Liu Yan and Ye Chengyan haven't finished the plan yet, today they went to the entire market to take a look, and they had a general idea, and hurriedly went back to improve the plan.
Ye Lanming also returned to her room, Jiang Shijun prepared hot water for her in advance, she took a hot bath comfortably, wiped her hair casually and walked out.
"Prepare paper and ink." Ye Lanming sat at the table and said.
Jiang Shijun quickly spread the paper and ink on the table, Ye Lanming sorted out his thoughts, and wrote slowly, her words were not the plum blossom letters often written by boudoir women, but the elegant line of calligraphy, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Shijun glanced at it and retracted his gaze, he looked at the ends of her hair that was still dripping, frowned slightly, found a towel, stood behind her and gently wiped her hair.
"If you don't dry your hair, you get a headache." He said lightly.
"Forgot ......" Ye Lanming made a movement in his hand.
"No matter how busy you are, you can't afford not to pay attention to your body, and if you don't pay attention to it now, you will get all kinds of diseases when you get old."
"I'll pay attention later...... How do you feel like a housekeeper, or these trivial matters will be handed over to you in the future? Ye Lanming chuckled, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Jiang Shijun's heart beat violently, the action of wiping his hair paused a little, his face was a little strange, and he was a little happy when he heard this......
"Haven't I been taking care of you, miss?" He calmed his tone a little and pretended to be calm.
He looked down at Ye Lanming slightly, he stood on her side, just taking in her side face, the candlelight was warm yellow, and the cheeks that reflected her were also covered with a halo, lining her gentle and demure.
But Jiang Shijun knew that she had nothing to do with these four words, she was chic and wanton, and no one could restrain her unless she was willing.
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Shijun shifted a topic: "I inquired outside the city today, there are quite a lot of farms around, but basically there are owners, it is not easy to buy, but I found a wasteland near the mountains and forests, I think that place is good, the space is big enough, there are mountains and forests in the back mountains, and cats can also move, but I don't know if I can buy it, I will inquire tomorrow." ”
"You're talking about An Qishan?" Ye Lanming thought for a moment and said.
"Exactly."
"Then settle on that place and try to get the land." Ye Lanming nodded, and also felt that this place was good.
"Just buy more land, I want to toss something in the Zhuangzi."
She has to find a way to find things such as cotton, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., and she doesn't know if there are any businessmen from other countries in Mobei, Ye Lanming has a small calculation in her heart.
"Miss, this is going to write something for General Mo again?" Jiang Shijun's eyes fell on the paper, which read:
A stable population is essential to the city, and in order to stabilize the population, it is necessary to provide enough jobs so that everyone can at least have enough food and clothing......
"Yes......" Ye Lanming continued to write, and said to Jiang Shijun without a match.
"Miss still plans to get involved in this mess." Jiang Shijun said slowly.
Looking at her behavior these days, it is very different from the original goal of coming to Mobei to do a small business and live a happy life as a family.
"I just suddenly felt ...... Aunt Zhang and her are such good people, they shouldn't end up miserable. Ye Lanming said frankly.
"Moreover, these things are only a little bit of a brain for me, and I will do them."
"In this life, people must always live according to their own hearts."
The brush kept sliding on the paper, and the advanced words were recorded on the rice paper.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ye Lanming stopped writing, summoned the eagle, wrapped the thick paper in oiled paper, and tied it to the eagle's talons.
The eagle flapped its wings and flew away, Ye Lanming looked at the night sky, his eyes were extraordinarily bright.
"I want to see if I can reverse the fate of Mocheng, and it is quite rewarding to build a prosperous city."
She turned around and smiled wantonly at Jiang Shijun.
