Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen seemed to see what Zhang Gaoyi was thinking and explained: "Two reasons. One is that the letter sent back from my eldest cousin mentioned that when there was a drought here in the past, it would also appear outside the Great Wall. The drought led to the degradation of a large number of pastures. , cattle and sheep died. Those nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall started fighting Daxia doctrine in order to survive. So war is inevitable. Secondly, if we need to go overseas, just the few children in the village will not be able to resist the pirates' attack. So we need more people."

Zhang Gaoyi understood the meaning of Ye Zifen's words for a long time and said: "Are you saying that if there is another war on the border, there will be conscription?"

For some reason, Ye Zifen heard the high emotion in Zhang Gaoyi's voice.

She turned her head sharply and looked at him with stern eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Zhang Gaoyi himself is still in a state of confusion. He doesn't understand why Ye Zifen is suddenly angry?

Ye Zifen suspected that he was too worried and shook his head.

"I hope that the imperial court will not conscript soldiers, but this is not what I hope to achieve. According to legend, cousin Xing said that in the past two years, because of the peace on the border, a large number of soldiers were sent home. If there is another war, there will be no conscription. The possibility is almost non-existent.”

Zhang Gaoyi nodded while listening, his mind spinning rapidly.

Ye Zifen continued: "After all, our place is a food-producing area. Compared with poorer places, the population is denser, so it will be the first place to recruit soldiers."

What she means is that as long as there is a war, they cannot escape.

"Then we need to strengthen the training of the children. The hard work at this time may be the sword that saves lives in the future!" Zhang Gaoyi said seriously.

And Liu Meng'er has been listening to the topics that she has no involvement in these matters, or her vision is not so broad.

As for why Ye Ziwei was allowed to come to the beach and Ye Zining was left at home?

It's because Qingyin is about to give birth, and it's best for Ye Zining to be by her side in the past few years.

Qingyin herself was married far away, and she would be even more pitiful without her husband by her side.

Let Ziwei come to the beach to improve her knowledge. If she stays in one place, she will only be a frog in the well.

Zhang Gaoyi asked: "You plan to let Ziwei come over, but what about the master? Will you let the master come over?"

"I haven't thought about the arrangements for the master yet, but it would be good to have the master at home. She can keep an eye on the progress of my cousin's training of the children in the village. And I always want the master to spend more time with Master Shangguan."

Ye Zifen never clearly told others about Mu Hongzhou's life experience. They pieced together a general framework based on various information.

"You can arrange this kind of thing."

Ye Zifen was responsible for the specific arrangements for this matter from beginning to end, so Zhang Gaoyi had nothing to say.

Liu Meng'er, who had been confused at this time, suddenly asked Ye Zifen: "Miss, is the person who came with us when we were born to solve technical problems?"

Zhang Gaoyi frowned and asked, "Who wants to come with us?"

A sense of crisis came over me.

Ye Zifen answered Liu Meng'er's question, "He can be said to be a self-taught person. After mastering some basic principles, he went to the laboratory to make things. If he is smart enough, he might really be able to conquer those technologies. problem."

"Who is it? Why is it so mysterious?" Zhang Gaoyi continued to interject, still staring at Ye Zifen's face.

Ye Zifen no longer concealed anything, and told Zhang Gaoyi how Liu Dianshi introduced Chen Lixing to her, how she found the clock in his house, and how the two finally signed the contract.

After listening to Ye Zifen's explanation, Zhang Gaoyi slowly let go of his high-spirited heart.

To ask why Zhang Gaoyi is so nervous, we have to start with the fact that Ye Zifen himself is a person who likes to do research.

In fact, Zhang Gaoyi had already discovered that whether it was making heating pipes, paper, or other things, Ye Zifen didn't have much confidence.

But she was able to do it just with some ideas, which relied on a kind of persistence.

This Chen Lixing has this kind of persistence.

“What progress have you made in fishing boats here these days??”

Zhang Gaoyi came back to his senses from Ye Zifen's question.

"From what Mr. Mo said, what we are doing now is the last batch of parts. Once these parts are ready, we can start assembling them. If nothing else happens, it will take about seven or eight days."

Ye Zifen nodded after hearing this. After knowing the progress, she could decide whether to stay and wait for the fishing boat to be built, or to return immediately.

After all, so many people come here to eat.

"A lot of materials were wasted this time!" Ye Zifen asked.

Adding iron sheet protection to the outside of the fishing boat was proposed by Ye Zifen. Because of this plan, a lot of the things originally prepared had to be discarded.

Naturally, some things are wasted.

"It's not a waste. The ones that were not of the correct size were modified, and the ones that couldn't be modified were given to the fishermen in the village, and those things on their boats were replaced. It can also be regarded as improving the performance of the fishing boats of the people in the village."

"That's good. I see that Mr. Mo seems to be very attached to your uncle. The two of them quarrel from time to time. Even their voices are loud!"

Zhang Gaoyi shook his head and said: "The two of them are just children. They often quarrel over some things, especially various parts. Because they have to keep experimenting, they often have their own opinions, and in the end they can only make physical objects to see. Who is right and who is wrong.”

The more Ye Zifen listened, the more she wanted to laugh, and asked: "What will happen after the experimental results come out?"

Zhang Gaoyi said naturally: "When one party is wrong, the other party will laugh at the other party vigorously."

Because Ye Zifen had experienced the daily life of the two of them yesterday, she could imagine how they got through this winter.

"What time did your uncle come back last night?" This is a digression.

"He came back not long after we fell asleep. I heard he had finished drinking a long time ago. He was just a little embarrassed to come back and face everyone, so he walked back with his aunt after the three Mo brothers came home."

Speaking of Ma Fengchun's performance yesterday, even Liu Meng'er unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

The three of them finished talking and were about to get up and go back to eat.

Because the three of them have been chatting for a long time, I believe that with Ye Zi's ability to cook, they should be able to have a hot meal now.

As a result, from a distance, I saw Ma Fengchun dislike Ye Zi and the unpalatable cooking while eating.

"Are you really Zifen's cousin? Why are you so stupid? Look at how people cook and look at you. You are really a descendant of the ancestors. Not everyone is talented."

The most important thing is that after he said this, many people around him nodded in response. People who had objections to the old man because of his drinking yesterday now united with him.
