Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

There are more than 300 households in this village, all of whom are her long-term workers. The whole family of these long-term workers work on the land in the village all year round and receive wages every year.

She entered the main gate of Zhuangzi and showed her identity jade badge. The old man guarding the gate had great respect for Xiao Yunyan, the master of Zhuangzi.

He asked his little grandson to find Zhuangtou. Zhuangtou followed the child who delivered the message, trotted all the way, came to Xiao Yunyan, knelt down and kowtowed.

Xiao Yunyan asked him to exempt himself from the ceremony. Quickly take her to the counting house to check the accounts. How much food is left in Zhuangzi's granary now?

Zhuangtou led the way diagonally ahead and reported: "Reporting to the eldest lady, we currently have 50,000 shi of grain. In three months, new grain will arrive in the warehouse, and the grain in these warehouses will have to be sold. The government collects grain, and I will not Dare to make the decision. I just sent a letter to the capital."

Xiao Yunyan felt confident. She asked the head of the village, is there a granary in the village that can hold one hundred thousand shi of grain?

Zhuangtou was stunned, but didn't ask anything. Answered honestly: "Reporting to the eldest lady, there are still thirty empty granaries in Zhuangzi. They can hold 150,000 shi of grain. However, we will collect and store grain in three months and need it. They are temporarily empty."

Xiao Yunyan was very satisfied with his answer. He said it was only for about half a month temporarily and would not delay the grain harvest.

Zhuangtou said that he would immediately send someone to clean up the grain depot. Mainly cleaning rat holes, ant nests and insect nests.

Xiao Yunyan nodded and told Zhuangtou that she would use the grain depot in an hour and others should not follow. Zhuangtou will arrange it immediately.

After Xiao Yunyan checked with the accountant, she immediately loaded all the stored grain into trucks and sent it to the border military camp.

With the organization and arrangements of the Dizi Group and Huangzi Group, the first batch of twenty grain trucks set off. For every twenty carriages loaded, two guards escorted them to the border town.

Xiao Yunyan was transporting grain from space by herself in the granary.

She is not afraid of being found out by her boss. That was the third generation of their family to have children. In other words, starting from his grandfather, he has been a servant of the Xiao Mansion. Needless to say, loyal.

In order to save the bagging process, Xiao Yunyan used the function of primary grain processing in the space. Threshing, grinding, bagging, sending out space, and stacking.

By the second night, two-thirds of the original grain in Zhuangzi had been transported away. The food crisis in border towns and military camps has been completely resolved.

The remaining food will also be transported to the military camp one after another. Yin eating Mao Liang is a very dangerous thing. She wants to stock up on food for the border.

The army needed food and cloth, so they replaced pay and silver with goods in kind and gave them to soldiers as military pay.

Therefore, it is not enough to ensure that the officers and soldiers have enough to eat every day. Enough food and cloth are also needed for distributing food and wages.

Otherwise, soldiers will not get the pay they deserve while working hard. How can there be motivation to fight?

Xiao Yunyan understood this history, so she made preparations early to stabilize the morale of the army. When officers and soldiers fight, their morale will be boosted and they can move forward bravely!

Xiao Yunyan took out one hundred thousand stones of grain from the space. Twenty granaries were filled. At this time, all the original grain in Zhuangzi was transported away.

Xiao Yunyan opened the empty warehouse, which was full of food, all packed in fine linen bags. Fifty pounds per bag.

Zhuangtou's eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed again, and he repeated this several times without asking any questions.

He was stunned. I don't know where to start, and I don't dare to ask about the master's secret.

Finally, Zhuangtou saw from Xiao Yunyan's calm face that it was best for him to keep silent.

Xiao Yunyan asked the head of the village, how many fat pigs are there in the village that can be put into the market? Are there any chickens, ducks and geese that can be slaughtered?

The dealer just checked with the accountant. There are about three hundred big fat pigs weighing about 180 kilograms. They were originally planned to be sold to butcher shops in the city, so they have not been slaughtered yet.

There are more than 500 female geese and male geese that have been eliminated in four and a half years. More than 1,300 laying ducks and drakes were culled. More than 2,000 hens and roosters were culled.

Xiao Yunyan asked them to send thirty pigs, fifty geese, one hundred and thirty ducks, and two hundred chickens to the army in the border town in batches every five days.

This batch of chickens, ducks and geese has been sent out, and the chickens, ducks and geese of the second year will continue to be selected and eliminated. Fatty pigs are also being put on the market one after another.

At the same time, increase the breeding volume, calculate the costs, and keep clear accounts.

The half-grown children on the farm can be responsible for breeding, while the younger children are responsible for weeding pigs. They all count as wages.

Slaughter the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, and keep the remaining internal organs, pig heads, pig feet, pig tails, and the heads, feet and buttocks of the chickens, ducks and geese.

Everyone cleans it together and stews it in a big pot. Cut it up and mix it well. Those who work in the village will be divided according to their heads. Everyone has a share.

One share for each working adult. Children aged ten to fourteen and a half years old receive half a portion each. One in four children under the age of ten. From now on, we will share food according to this standard.

Zhuangtou asked: "Miss, the offal of chicken, duck, goose, and pig you mentioned is eaten by poor people. But if the offal is made separately, the taste is not good."

Xiao Yunyan said: "Then after you have collected the first batch of offal, I will teach you how to make it. I guarantee that you will eat it this time and look forward to the next time. These are all good things, especially the intestines of chicken, duck and goose. Pig intestines are rare delicacies.”

Zhuangtou thought about the taste he had eaten before, and his whole body trembled. The eldest lady is well-informed, maybe she can really turn decay into magic.

There are also vegetables, which are delivered every three days, so you can watch them being picked. Do your best and act within your capabilities.

With Xiao Yunyan's support. One hundred thousand troops were well fed. In the thick porridge, there will be vegetables and minced meat from chicken, duck, goose and pig.

What made the soldiers happiest was that the princess sent them polished white rice and fine white flour. The sweet aroma of the cooked rice and steamed buns can be smelled from a long distance away. After eating a delicious meal, I feel full of strength.

Not only the soldiers, but also the generals also expressed emotion. In all their years of serving in the army, they have never once received food and pay from the imperial court that were not old rice and not mixed with sand.

When the war was not tense, they could only take out the old and moldy rice to dry.

The bugs inside include flesh bugs and small black bugs.

When drying rice, black bugs will crawl out of the rice. However, the larvae inside the rice grains cannot come out. So the rice needs to be dried several times.

The white flesh bugs crawled deeper and deeper into the rice as they were exposed to the sun. When you can only wash rice, rinse it several times to remove the bugs and bug cakes.

Bugs are not the biggest headache. The grass seeds, rice husks, and sand mixed in the rice are difficult to choose.

You can only pick grass seeds one by one or ignore them.

It is relatively easy for the rice husks to float out together with the insects.

It’s just sand, or drying rice multiple times. Settle the sand. Or picking out sand and washing rice before cooking. There will be fish that slip through the net. It is common for teeth to be bitten by sand when eating.

Only this time, the polished rice has no impurities at all.

The aroma of new rice emanates from the grain bag as soon as it is opened. The cooked rice can last for three bowls without using vegetables.

All the generals and soldiers thanked the princess and the prince and his wife who donated rice. They went to the border in person and truly treated the soldiers as their own.

Who can not love such a prince and princess? Who can fight the enemy bravely without giving up his allegiance?

The soldiers all have feelings for their family and country, and they are even more patriotic. As long as they are well fed and clothed, and their hearts are not chilled, they will be willing to shed blood and sweat to protect their homeland and country.

With Xiao Yunyan's polished rice as food and wages, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.

The prince personally visited the border and personally presided over the distribution of food and wages to prevent shortages. In Li Mohan's eyes, this is his responsibility. In the eyes of the soldiers, that is sympathy for them and love for them.

There turned out to be a brave young general named Zuo Jun. He encouraged the brothers in his camp to win the battle in return for the love of the prince and princess.

Zuo Jun led the cavalry and defeated the enemy. Killing red eyes all the way. Pushed seventy or eighty miles deep into the Qiang-Rong hinterland.

Just when the marshal was afraid that Zuo Jun had been ambushed, Zuo Jun's team came back. The horn of victory echoed loudly all the way on the border grasslands.

This is the first victory since the war began.

Two thousand light cavalry took down three tribes that often harassed the border. Three thousand enemies were wiped out, with zero damage to our own side. The trophies were hung all over the horse's head and the skins and bags on the horse's back. The soldiers also had bulging bags on their bodies.

All the soldiers were deeply inspired and vowed to win the battle. Not only to serve the prince and princess. He even took advantage of this opportunity to earn more military merit. Wait until one day in the future to be discharged and return to the field, marry a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, and have a bunch of lovely babies!
