Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun listened to everyone's wishes and were very pleased that they were willing to go to war with the imperial court to defend their homes.

This is also within their expectations.

Nanzhou is a wild and cold land. The people in this land are used to living in poverty and poverty. They are also used to being despised by people elsewhere and corrupt officials embezzling disaster relief supplies.

Now, someone has led them to harvest enough food with their own hands. They can eat enough and wear warm clothes. They also see the hope of making money and living a prosperous life in the future.

All this is like in a dream.

Who wants this dream to be broken?

Of course, they must defend to the death the good days they have longed for and never allow anyone to destroy them.

"well said."

Ye Weiyun praised loudly and was so heroic.

"We built Nanzhou with our own hands. We just wanted to have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. We did not hurt anyone. We must not let anyone hurt us or take away the fruits of our labor. We must defend Nanzhou and protect us. our home and protect the families behind us.”

"Okay," Zhu Ziyu clapped his hands vigorously in agreement, "Master Ye is right, we must defend Nanzhou, our home, and our families."

The crowd shouted in unison.

"Defend Nanzhou, defend your home, and defend your family."

"Defend Nanzhou, defend your home, and defend your family."

"Defend Nanzhou, defend your home, and defend your family."

……

Chu Shaoyun and others were shocked, the power of the people was powerful.

There were only a few dozen people present, but they were majestic and heroic, shouting out the momentum of thousands of troops.

As the old saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Xiao Zhiyuan and Shi Xuan, one of whom was a soldier and the other who was forced to go up the mountain to become a bandit, felt this even more deeply.

Especially for Xiao Zhiyuan, something buried deep in his heart seemed to be awakened, making him excited and uneasy.

"Mr. Ye, young madam, I, Xiao Zhiyuan, swear to defend Nanzhou to the death."

Xiao Zhiyuan took a step forward and said with excitement.

Shi Xuan followed him and took a step forward and said, "Our musketeers finally have a place to play."

They practice shooting every day, isn't it just for this day?

It made him feel sad to see how much ammunition was used in practice shooting.

These ammunition looked very expensive, and he didn't know where they came from.Just because I don't know where it came from, it feels even more valuable.

Ye Weiyun patted them on the shoulders and praised, "Good brothers."

When Shi Xuan heard his voice as a good brother, he felt that even his life was worth it.

Xiao Zhiyuan volunteered and said, "I will go back to gather the soldiers and get ready to go."

Yan Ruoli stopped him: "General Xiao, don't worry yet. General Jing is currently leading the front line in Changning County, and he will wait for us to pass. Let's go together tomorrow to see what the soldiers are doing and their idea."

"Okay, I will accompany you tomorrow."

Xiao Zhiyuan has no objection. He now admires Ye Yan and both of them so much.

Especially Yan Ruoli, her arrival changed Nanzhou's appearance.

Today's Nanzhou is so beautiful and everything is prosperous, which makes him want to protect it.

Yan Ruoli greeted: "Everyone, don't be stunned. We haven't finished eating yet. We have to fight a war, and our health is more important. We should eat and drink. Only by eating and drinking enough can we have the strength to defend our homeland."

"Yes, if you have enough food and drink, and you have strength, you can kill whoever you want."

Everyone laughed and started the potato feast again.

The cronies sent by Jing Lingfeng took advantage of the opportunity and tasted all kinds of delicious potatoes, drank the wine provided by Chu Shaoyun, and had a great time.

"Mr. Ye, young madam, these potatoes are so delicious. When will we be able to eat them in Changning County?"

"It's almost time," Yan Ruoli said. "This batch of potatoes in Nanzhou has been successfully planted. They will be planted on a large scale in the future and shipped to Changning County for sale. If anyone in Changning County is willing to plant them, we can also provide seeds."

"That's great." The confidant was overjoyed, "Our Changning County is close to Nanzhou, so we will also enjoy the blessings."

In the past, Changning County was close to Nanzhou, and everyone thought it was quite unlucky.

Because whenever there is a disaster here in Nanzhou, a large number of refugees will flow into Changning County, causing them a lot of trouble and burden.

This was the first time that the confidant felt that it was great to have Nanzhou by his side.

Yan Ruoli packed a bag of potatoes and asked her cronies to take them back for Jing Lingfeng to taste.

She wrote the potato recipe in her own hand, put it together with Ye Weiyun's reply to Jing Lingfeng, and asked her confidants to take it to Jing Lingfeng.

The next morning, accompanied by Xiao Zhiyuan, Yan Ruoli, Ye Weiyun and others came outside the city to see Xiao Zhiyuan's officers and soldiers.

However, they did not go to the military camp, but came to the foot of a mountain.

Xiao Zhiyuan looked at Ye Weiyun with a puzzled expression and told him that because Yan Ruoli said that officers and soldiers could go to the mountains to clear up wasteland, everyone did not stay in the military camp for training and went to the mountains to clear up wasteland.

Having said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The soldiers did not strengthen their training but went to do farm work. Is this a blessing or a misfortune?

Ye Weiyun only knew that Xiao Zhiyuan was willing to stand on their side and jointly fight against the imperial officers and soldiers, but he did not know that his officers and soldiers were actually clearing wasteland.

Yan Ruoli patted her forehead, feeling a little ashamed.

"There are too many things to deal with recently, and they are all on the right track, so I forgot to tell you. There are not enough manpower in Nanzhou, and ordinary people are already very busy just planting crops and building roads, so I asked the officers and soldiers to develop Badlands in the mountains.”

Developing wasteland on mountains can be used to grow crops, but it cannot be over-exploited. Certain trees need to be planted to stabilize the mountains to prevent soil erosion.

The officers and soldiers had the land developed for free, so they were naturally happy to plant trees.

Protecting the mountains is also protecting your own land.Therefore, they are highly motivated.

Ye Weiyun asked doubtfully: "Will it delay their training?"

The Ye family has led soldiers in wars for generations and has great experience in training soldiers.

You can't slack off on things like training.

Xiao Zhiyuan explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye. The officers and soldiers do not open up wasteland for farming every day. They will return to the field for training every other day. In fact, the most important problem of Nanzhou's soldiers is not their own quality, but their psychology. . Let them confront the court, and they will probably want to escape. But if their own land is invaded, they will have twice the courage to fight against the enemy. This is what the young lady taught me."

He directly called the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court enemies.

Ye Weiyun nodded after hearing his explanation.

He is right, the more important thing for soldiers is their morale.

If you don't want to fight, it's useless no matter how well you train your physical fitness.

He couldn't help but glance at Yan Ruoli, with a smile on his lips.

His daughter-in-law was indeed extraordinary. She could come up with such a method, which not only solved the problem of the wasteland, but also aroused the morale of the soldiers.

On the hillside, a series of water channels lead directly to the top of the mountain.At the foot of the mountain, waterwheels were set up.

Ye Weiyun couldn't help but ask: "What kind of waterwheel is that? Can it deliver water to the top of the mountain?"

Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and replied: "This waterwheel is also provided by the young lady."
