Ashu looked a little miserable.

Not only was the head wrapped in cloth, but there was also blood stains that had not been wiped off.

Then look at the carriage—it is also in tatters.

When Ah Shu saw Xu Yun, he almost cried, but it was not a good time to cry during the New Year, so he could only force a smile and say, "Finally I see you! I thought I would never see you again! The carriage skidded and we fell into the ditch!"

The ditch was not high, only about one person tall.

So no one was seriously hurt, but the things in the carriage fell into the river - fortunately it was ice in winter, otherwise the things would have been lost.

When Xu Yun heard what he said, he was shocked and quickly asked someone to take Ashu and the others into the house to let the doctor take a good look.

As for the thing... at a quick glance, I couldn't tell what it was, but fortunately the person was still alive.

Xu Yun asked Chen Ku to pack up his things, and he went into the house to see Ashu and the others.

Fortunately, it was not a serious injury. Among the people, Ah Shu was the most unlucky, with a broken head, while the others only had some scratches and bruises.

As the doctor re-bandaged Ah Shu, Ah Shu apologized to Xu Yun: "I could have arrived yesterday, but I was delayed for half a day and now I'm late."

Seeing his guilty look, Xu Yun sighed and comforted him: "It's okay."

Ah Shu was a little sad: "My husband told me to send it before the New Year."

Xu Yun was silent for a moment, then comforted Ah Shu: "If it was really necessary, he wouldn't let you send it."

Luo Zhan has so many people under his command, why would he need Ah Shu to handle something so urgent? Most likely it was just an ordinary New Year gift.

Ashu's sadness paused for a moment, and then he really felt much better and didn't blame himself so much.

Xu Yun began to ask Ashu some other questions.

For example, the situation at the Xu family, Aunt Deng, and even things happening in the city.

Ah Shu answered quietly and obediently. He said Xie Wanqing was very good, she made a lot of cakes and was very busy, and they were basically sold out every day. Aunt Deng was busy in and out every day, but she was busy with the neighborhood committee's affairs, and there was really nothing to do in the mansion.

The main reason was that Aunt Deng and the wives of officials really couldn't get along well.

I am not very willing to go out and socialize.

Besides, there is really no social interaction.

Nowadays, the wives of officials in the city of Peking rarely hold such large banquets.

The main reason was that the emperors had reprimanded them several times, saying that this kind of socializing was suspected of forming cliques and was also wasteful. If they had the energy, these women might as well do something else.

After the reprimand, their majesties praised several officials’ wives.

As a result, the atmosphere in the city of Peking changed completely.

Those officials' wives were all reluctant to go out, but they were also quite capable - for example, one lady set up a charity school and taught classes in person every day.

Xu Yun listened and thought for a while, and felt that the two majesties were really smart in this regard.

In this case, not only will there be fewer banquets, but more importantly, these officials' wives will have to find something to do in order to save their face.

Otherwise, when we meet, one of us says I run a free school, another says I run a charity hall, and you say I stay at home to take care of my husband and children...that would be a bit embarrassing.

So, it’s really high.

Just take advantage of all these ladies!

Xu Yun sighed in his heart that he was still not as smart as the two Majesties.

Finally, Ah Shu talked about Luo Zhan: "At Fengyang Ferry, on the other side of Jin'an City, the two armies started fighting, and you have already led your troops there."

When Xu Yun heard this, he asked a few more questions about the war, but Ah Shu knew nothing about it.

This is normal, Ashu has no place to know the important military affairs.

However, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, worrying was useless and could not help. She could not remember much more - she was busy surviving in her previous life, and she only heard about many things by chance, and did not know many details.

Xu Yun then asked about the tax bureau in Peking City.

Ah Shu knew this. He said, "The tax bureau is located next to the Ministry of Revenue. It's quite impressive. In addition, there is also an industrial and commercial bureau. This bureau is very powerful. Not long after it was established, it handled a lot of cases. They were all about selling fake goods and short-changing people."

After hearing this, Xu Yun realized that everything in the city of Beiping was basically going very smoothly.

Zeng Wuji and the others followed Gao Xu, probably

Naturally, I feel relieved.

At this time, the kitchen had prepared hot noodle soup, so Xu Yun asked Ashu and the others to have a full meal and then have a good sleep.

She went to see what Luo Zhan had asked someone to send.

Luo Li and Chen Ku had already roughly looked through the things. When they saw Xu Yun coming, they pulled her to look: "This small package is cloth, snacks, candied fruits, dried fruits and the like. This package is the account book, our business account. The rest are seeds. Various seeds. They are wrapped in oil paper into small packages, and then put in linen bags, which is very appropriate."

"There are a few more books. This one is not only wrapped in oilcloth, but also in a box. It's not damaged either."

Xu Yun looked at the old books and saw that they were all worm-eaten and had holes in them. The pages were also yellowed, and he knew that they were very old.

Judging from the title of the book, I have never read it either - I don’t know if it is a unique copy, but it must be an ancient book.

Ancient books are quite expensive.

This thought popped up in Xu Yun's mind, and then she couldn't help laughing: Luo Zhan was quite generous this time. It was worth it for her to show him so many military books.

I've been here for so long, but I haven't had time to use the library.

With these books, the library can be considered to be well stocked.

Of course, the seeds are even more precious.

Although Xu Yun brought a lot of seeds from the Agriculture Bureau, they were still incomplete.

After all, China had just been founded, and it was a newly built capital, so everything was still in its infancy and lacked many things.

Most of these seeds are medicinal seeds, which are even more difficult to collect.

Luo Zhan indeed put in a lot of effort and thought.

Xu Yun looked at the seeds, and finally smiled and sighed: "I don't know how to repay you."

This gift is too generous.

Luo Li smiled and said, "I don't think you need to repay General Luo for his friendship right now. We can help him in the future when he needs us."

Xu Yun thought about it and nodded, then asked Chen Ku to invite two vegetable farmers - although they grew vegetables, they were also familiar with growing medicinal herbs.

When the two vegetable farmers came over and saw that there were so many seeds, they were surprised and happy for a moment. They looked at one bag and then another, and were reluctant to put any of them down.

After they looked at it for a while and calmed down a bit, Xu Yun spoke up: "There aren't many seeds here. What do you think? Should we sow the seeds directly, or grow the seedlings first and then plant them?"

The two of them didn't hesitate: "Grow the seedlings first!"

Farmer Wang excitedly explained: "This way the seedlings can take root and grow before other weeds grow taller, so there is no need to worry about them not growing up."

Xu Yun was happy to hear this: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's grow the seedlings first! However, you have to plan in your mind which seedlings to plant where. You also have to come up with a plan for how to distribute them to the villagers. So, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, can you draw up a plan for me?"

The two of them agreed immediately and began to look forward to spring involuntarily.
