meet the prince and meet love

After two days of busy work, the beans at home are all harvested, and the remaining corn has to wait for a few days. Seeing that it is getting colder every day, he is also anxious. There are still not enough vegetables for the winter. He ordered the whole family to stretch out their hands, but he was busy alone, and he was really too busy.

After all the food, dried vegetables, and seasonings such as peppers, wild onions, and garlic that can be stored have entered his storage room, he will have people rush to the field to pick up those old vegetables and make them into dried vegetables. Save it for winter, and he is also afraid that the remnant soldiers will come and the food at home will not be enough, so he will send people to the village to collect vegetables'

If there is not enough in the village, they go to the mountains or in the wild to look for potatoes. It is also their family's good fortune. Under a hillside, they really found a potato field. Now the whole family mobilized and worked hard for more than a week. All those potatoes went into the cellar, and Xiao Yun came to teach them the cellar. The family dug two cellars, and they could barely accommodate them all.

As for Xiao Yun, he was afraid that it would not be enough to eat. The main reason was that there were too many people, and they were all old men. It was time to eat. After thinking about it, he asked his family to help collect cabbage, pickled cabbage, and pickled radish. , as long as the vegetables that can be pickled are fully prepared, even if you can't eat them, if you sell them in the town, they will be sold at a good price. The more you think about it, the more right Xiao Yun finally feels relieved.

When the soldiers arrived, they were just in time to collect the corn at home. Those soldiers were really grateful. They put down the burdens in their hands and went to the land to collect the land. It took a few days It’s almost done. This year, because the wild boars on the mountain did not go down the mountain, the crops were not spoiled, and a lot of corn was taken back. In order to prevent the grain from spoiling the mice, their family specially hugged a cat in the village where there are cats. Come back and keep it.

Because the food in Tie Han’s family is good, the cat got used to it the second day it came, and didn’t make a fuss about going back to its original home. , Seeing its bulging stomach every day, it is estimated that this mouse has eaten a lot of meat.

In a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest passed, and Xiao Yun gradually became familiar with these soldiers. This time, not many people came, only a dozen of them were from the Tie family army, and two of them were from the Tiehan guard camp back then. People here are just cooks, that is, cooks, but their skills are not bad. In this era without seasonings, it is rare to be able to make people feel that their skills are not bad, so Xiao Yun handed over the use of these seasonings to If it was given to him, that person was also very good and he was able to use it freely the next day. From then on, Xiao Yun could be regarded as 'resting from work'.

The rest are old people from the Tie Family Army, but after many years of fighting, they are somewhat disabled, but not serious, most of them are pain caused by rheumatism, especially in winter, it is unbearable, Xiao Yun is there He wondered if there was any way to cure this disease. He remembered that his grandfather had this disease back then, but it seemed to be cured by some folk remedy. What was it?

By the way, it's musk tiger bone paste, and they have hot springs here, maybe it can be used.But they didn’t have musk and tiger bone paste in their place, so he was tinkering around there to see if there was anything available when there was no one around, but he couldn’t find any after a lot of work. A useful method, just when he was in a hurry, Tie Han came to discuss with him and said that the family still needs to build a house, and these soldiers don’t have enough space to live. Now everyone sleeps on the floor, but it’s not good in winter done.

After Xiao Yun heard this, he also understood the truth, but now it's going to be cold, and now he can see frost in the morning and evening, winter is coming soon, now he has to consider the place to live.

Xiao Yun put down the iron egg in his hand and let him play alone. He took out a box from the bottom of the box, opened it, counted it with his hand, took out 50 taels of silver, and handed it to Tie Han: "Iron Brother, you go to the houses in the village that have vacant houses. Let’s rent a house for the winter. Let’s build a house next spring. Otherwise, it’s getting colder every day, and we’re going to freeze these brothers. Not good."

Tie Han nodded, didn't say anything, he was thinking about Xiao Yun's goodness in his heart, just those people outside, not to mention anything else, it's a day when they lie down in the snow in the winter, some of them are like this now The bad weather was a trivial matter for them, but they still went to the village chief's house.

The old village chief also knows how to look at things. Although he doesn't know where these remnant soldiers came from now, being able to live in Tie's house shows that these people are not easy to mess with, so he didn't make things difficult for Tie Han, and directly sent the next to him There are several vacant houses in Tie Han's house, let Tie Han lead someone to clean them up, so let's live there, anyway, it's just a matter of favor.

Tie Han came back and discussed with Xiao Yun, and after thinking about it, he said, "Brother Tie, why don't we buy those yards as well, and then connect these yards directly, which saves money?" The people in the village are talking nonsense, and besides, we still need to study the crossbow now, so that it will save a lot of people from going back and forth all day long, and some things are also guarded against people."

Tie Han's many years of battlefield career, Xiao Yun didn't need to say that he understood it, and then he took people to a high place on the mountain to observe the terrain in the yard, and Xiao Yun was right. But if someone with a heart looks at it from a high place, they will know what the people in this yard are doing. Instead of doing this, it is better to just use earth bricks to expand these houses into their own yard, and then come to the high place from time to time to see if they are It's not that someone is inquiring about the situation in the yard.

Do as soon as you think of it, without Xiao Yun's presence, Tie Han finished the matter on the same day, and then led people to start making adobes by the river the next day. Xiao Yun brought the woman he had just recruited in the village to help make winter padded clothes for these soldiers. After all, he really couldn't do it alone. As for the classmate Tie Dan at home, he directly handed it over to Li Fugen Children help to look after.

Among these women, it is said that Li Jiao's daughter-in-law is the best, clean and agile, so Xiao Yun let him be the head of these women. It is also calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, if you do more, you will get more wages if you do well, and vice versa, and it was agreed at the beginning that the Tie family will not care about three meals a day, except for Li Fugen, who not only takes care of the meals, but also pays for them. There is a new set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, which makes those women envious. It has been a long time since their children have worn new clothes, let alone new cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

Seeing the reactions of these people, Xiao Yun felt happy in his heart, and said that he had to show you the benefits, and then you had to do a good job. After beating these people, he began to help them seriously. I made winter clothes, and then took care of the child. After all, the child is still young, so I won’t do it if I can’t see him for too long. Even though Li Fugen is serious about it, he won’t do it.

He hurriedly finished these dozens of cotton-padded clothes before the first heavy snow in early winter. He paid these women in the village and sent them home. Then he called Tiehan to let them He sent these cotton-padded clothes to those under him, and he took the cotton-padded clothes that Tie Dan and Tie Han had personally given to him, and went back to his own room, preparing to rest for a few days.

And those soldiers, not just their subordinates, looked at the hand-made cotton padded clothes one by one, and the old men were not only a little teary, but they hadn't worn such good clothes for many years Well, when they were in the barracks, their winter coats were very thin, and they were all made of kapok. When the winter was too cold, they would at most add a sheepskin waistcoat inside, unlike the pure one in his hand. Cotton ones, just this set of cotton clothes and trousers directly warmed their hearts, making them all determined to follow the Tiehan couple in the future, and repay them for not despising them as useless people.

In fact, these people are not really useless people, they just have a little less 'accessories' on their bodies, and there are really no real lack of arms or legs. The main reason is that Wang Xian doesn't want to bring a bunch of disabled soldiers and generals to Tie Han and his wife. To make trouble, I just want to see what Tie Han can do after all.

Xiao Yun went back to his own room, the warmth in the room made him a little sleepy, then he sent Li Fugen to let him go home, and told him not to come here in the future, let's play at home, and gave him He has a handful of sugar.

Li Fugen was as happy as something, and left happily.

Tiedan kid, when he saw Xiao Yun, he crawled over happily, threw himself on his body, shouted: "Daddy, Daddy" and stretched out his hands to hug him.

Xiao Yun took off his cotton-padded jacket, hung it in the closet, then smiled and hugged Tie Dan, and *ravaged* Tie Dan's little face twice vigorously with his beardless face.

It made the child giggle, and imitated Xiao Yun with his face, thinking about rubbing it twice, but before he could rub it, he was carried away by Tie Han who had just entered the room, a joke, How could his daughter-in-law let 'others' take advantage of her!

Xiao Yun saw that the two were having a good time, so he got up and went to the box on the top of the kang. While Tie Han was not paying attention, he took out the box containing money hidden in the space, and found the box that the prince had sent to him. Tie Han's salary, and then handed it to Tie Han.

"Brother Tie, we have not paid taxes this year, and our family has saved food, but so many people eat and drink, is the food enough? If not, our family has to prepare some new livelihoods. The crown prince sent your salary for the past few years, and the emperor’s reward at the beginning, do you want to set up a shop in the town, and then sell some things to earn money to support the family.” Besides, these wounded soldiers and disabled generals are just like that Staying at home is not a problem either.

Tie Han looked at the money in Xiao Yun's hand, and then at the child in his arms, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Ever since Xiao Yun came, everything he did was not for his own good. And what he gave Xiao Yun was just this family, as a man, no matter what he did in the past, but now he is the backbone of this family, if everything is waiting for Xiao Yun to figure it out for him, then what is the use of him , Thinking of this, he sat down.

"I want to go to the border...?"

"What? What are you doing there? Didn't you say that there will be barbarians coming every winter? Are you going to fight? Go to the battlefield..." Xiao Yun jumped up.

"No, I'm just going to have a look. Doesn't it mean that the wool over there is cheap and no one wants it? I want to get back some more. Then you will have a lot of ideas. See if you can find a way to make money, and if If possible, I will trade some cattle and sheep with those local people, and then sell them, and we can make a lot of money.” Then these people can have a way out.

Xiao Yun nodded after hearing this: "Well, let me think about it and see if there is any way to make use of these people reasonably. There is no rush now." After speaking, he picked up a pen and began to make serious plans on paper.
