Forced to farm for the princess

"It's better to die on the battlefield, how will we live in the future!" The wounded burst into tears.

After a while, there were slight sobs from the wounded in the tent. Wei Ruojin understood it, and hurriedly said: "You still have a long life, it doesn't matter if you can't fight anymore, you can do other things, rest assured, your general will make arrangements for you." .”

It didn't take long for some soldiers to spread the word that even if they couldn't fight anymore, the general would arrange to work in the workshop, which was much more cost-effective than just receiving the few taels of silver.

The defenders repelled the Ranjue people again, Lin Heng stared at the map with deep eyes, didn't even move Wei Ruojin when he came in, but casually took the soup he brought and drank it in one gulp.

"See general, the people have all been counted."

Wei Ruojin immediately looked at Lin Heng, but the Jue people just fought back, what did he count?

"Ajin, I have to go out for a while. If you go back to Xinglin City earlier, those internal officials will arrest you as soon as they are arrested. Wait for me to come back." Lin Heng stood up and said while putting on his helmet.

Wei Ruojin's expression changed, "What are you going to do?"

"Go to the grassland." After a pause, Lin Heng said: "Before they know about our side, we must work hard. When they know how to break the rattan armor, it will be too late."

Wei Ruojin grabbed his hand, he understood; but in a place like the grassland, once you lose your way inside, it would be as difficult to get out.

"Don't worry, wait until I go back to celebrate the New Year."

Wei Ruojin sent Lin Heng away with a dark face, not because he didn't want to stay, but because he couldn't, even Di Rong didn't say anything to let him stay in the city, and led 2 people into the grassland.

"Go back, you have to trust Heng'er, he will come back safely." Di Rong also let him leave Pinghe Town.

Selfishly speaking, Wei Ruojin doesn't want him to leave at all, he just needs to make a new armor before the Ranjue people know how to crack the rattan armor, why take such a risk.

"Soldiers are precious, let's go back." Di Rong persuaded again and again.

When Wei Ruojin returned to Xinglin City, his heart didn't settle down for a moment, and he regretted not paying more attention to Lin Heng; in the palace, few people called him prince, so it could be seen that he still wanted to go to the battlefield.

So today's situation is inevitable. If he knew it earlier, he should make something that can be used in the march; the medicine in the medicine bag needs to be improved, and when there is no condition to heat hot water in the field, he can eat it directly.

The most important food, Wei Ruojin fiddled around in the palace alone, and even asked him to make several kinds of dry food that could be eaten directly in the wild. It would be fine to boil a bowl of water and soak it, but it would be a waste of oil.

He has already had people start harvesting beans, and it is certain that soybean oil will be available in the shop after the Chinese New Year.Wei Ruojin was in a daze at the dry rations he had made, so he simply sent them all to Di Rong. He might not be able to find Lin Heng, but Di Rong might not.

"After entering the grassland, I also lost contact with Lin Heng, but occasionally there is good news that a tribe on the grassland was beaten by the Dachang people and fled everywhere."

Wei Ruojin didn't expect that even Di Rong didn't know how to find Lin Heng, and suddenly thought of Zhu Cheng, if it was his caravan, he should be able to find out some.

If possible, he doesn't want to find Zhu Cheng, and it's better not to have any intersection in this life.Since Lian Dirong said it was good news, he suppressed this thought.

Until New Year's Eve, there was still no news from Lin Heng's side. Wei Ruojin got a little angry, her mouth was bubbling, and there was no one to talk to, and she lost a lot of weight.

"My lord, a letter from the Wei family." Looking at Wei Ruojin's appearance, Steward Shang didn't know how to persuade him. The house became more and more quiet.

"A letter from the Wei family?" Wei Ruojin took the letter, felt it, it was very thin, and there should be nothing he wanted.

Opening the letter, the beginning is Wei Lun's self-repentance, Wei Ruojin chuckled, causing Butler Shang to take a look at him, then quickly lowered his head.

"Where's the person who delivered the letter?" Wei Ruojin read the letter, "Since they specially sent someone to deliver the letter, it must be easy for them to find someone to protect their eldest lady, otherwise, I will throw Wei Qian outside the city!"

"Yes, I'll go now, little one." Steward Shang trembled, always feeling that during the time the general was out, the young master's temperament became more and more difficult to resist.

If you leave that delicate young lady outside the city, it won't be long before anyone knows where she is.

Jiao Didi's eldest lady, now she doesn't get along with Jiao Didi at all, she is very thin, her eyes are particularly dark and bright, and she is full of hatred for Wei Ruojin.

"Wei Ruojin, I won't make it easy for you!"

Before the words finished, Wei Qian slapped her face again, Wei Ruojin smiled and said, "Before you speak next time, think about why you think Wei Lun is willing to exchange money for you."

Wei Qian trembled slightly, but Wei Ruojin found out, she didn't say anything, and someone took her away.

Playing with the seal in his hand, this is the private guard seal that Lin Heng gave him before. Wei Qian is not smart, but she is capable of doing bad things and has a strong desire for revenge. Therefore, he cannot let her leave safely.

He, who had never used a private guard seal before, issued an order for the first time.

Lin Heng didn't come back, and many people only sent New Year gifts to the palace, and they consciously didn't come to disturb him.This year, Wei Ruojin lived quickly while worrying about Lin Heng.

In a flash, it was early summer, and Wei Ruojin watched people build a sugar workshop in a small village, and all the farmland was planted with sugar cane.

It is said to be small, but 130 mu of land is enough to grow sugar cane.

"We must pay great attention to hygiene in this workshop. My young master will come to check from time to time. Everyone's hands must be clean, there must be no dirt under the nails, and hair must be wrapped up."

"Yes!"

Wei Ruojin transferred the manager of the papermaking workshop and handed over the work to him, so he was more at ease; during the six months when Lin Heng was away, he was very busy and ate a lot, but he lost a lot of weight.

Tang Mo wanted to show him several times, but Wei Ruojin pushed him away.In his words, "My own body, I know."

Tomer also knew that Master was anxious, and he couldn't help much. The only thing he could do was to bring him out quickly, otherwise there would be no one to use.

This year's rain was particularly heavy, and Wei Ruo opened the eaves, thinking that the reservoir they built when they first arrived in the northwest might be useful because it looked good there. According to Taishou Yin, many towns have already grown grain like Pinghe Town.

The people nowadays are very smart, and they have a lot of fields at home. If you plant five acres of sweet potatoes, you can harvest more than 3000 catties. After paying taxes, you can get a full stomach, and then plant some millet, wheat and soybeans. Another part grows cotton.

The Northwest Prince's Mansion said that the cotton planted can be sold in workshops for a few cents a catty. They have already planned to sell half and keep the other half to make a jacket for the family to survive the winter.

Butler Shang hurriedly walked, seeing Wei Ruojin staring in a daze under the rain, he didn't care if he was being rude, and hurriedly said: "Young master, the general is back..."

Wei Ruojin didn't listen to Butler Shang's words, and rushed out immediately. Butler Shang stomped his feet, chased after him and shouted, "Young Master, the general is still in the barracks. It's raining too much. Let's take a carriage."

When Wei Ruojin arrived, Lin Heng was lying on the bed, his eye sockets were sunken, he was so thin that only a bone remained, and the tent was full of the smell of medicine, his expression changed, and he hurried over to grab his wrist.

His eyes were astringent, but he managed to hold back, the injury was not serious, the most important thing was that he was tired and hungry.Wei Ruojin sent someone to bring the stove, and boiled the corn carefully to get the oily skin.

Hearing the sound, Wei Ruojin walked to the bed, Lin Heng slowly opened his eyes, first he was confused, and then his eyes lit up with joy.

"He also said to spend the New Year with me, and almost couldn't come back by himself." Wei Ruojin gave him his pulse with a cold face and put his hand back under the thin quilt.

He took out the corn that had been boiled for a long time, and fed it to him bit by bit after cooling down.Instead, Lin Heng kept staring at him, with a smile in his eyes unconsciously.

Wei Ruojin ignored him, went out after feeding him, came in after a while to change his dressing, but fell asleep again; Wei Ruojin sighed a long time, fortunately it was early summer, the injuries on his body were in the early stages I used medicine, but there were not many medicines, and some things got worse.

Forget it, it's good that people come back safely.

Lin Heng suffered a lot of injuries, the most serious being a knife from his left shoulder to his lower right abdomen. If they hadn't given him the medicine they carried with them, they might not be able to come back.

Wei Ruojin's actions were very light, even so, Lin Heng still frowned and made small noises when he fell asleep.His hands were trembling and his nose was sour.

After seven days, Lin Heng's waking time began to lengthen. Wei Ruojin was stewing chicken soup every day, and he would feed some when he woke up. The pheasants in the mountains were almost caught.

"Ajin, sit with me." Lin Heng watched Wei Ruojin walking up and down in the tent. In the past few days, Wei Ruojin hadn't paid attention to him except for the first few words with him.

"A Jin, I'm in pain..." After shouting several times, Lin Heng's voice became weaker and weaker.

Wei Ruojin looked at him and sneered, "Will the general still be in pain?"

"Ajin, show me again, I'm really in pain, get me some anesthetic..." Before he finished speaking, the thing in Wei Ruojin's hand flew towards him.

Just when he wanted to hide from the wound, his body froze in place, his face turned pale from the pain, and a ball of rags fell on him lightly.

In order not to talk to him, Wei Ruojin found a rag and wiped the dustless table in the tent. He had wiped the table several times.

Seeing that Lin Heng's expression was not right, Wei Ruojin stepped forward to take a look. Fortunately, the wound was not open, so it was nothing wrong, and it just happened to make him remember the pain for a long time.

"A Jin, you are trying to murder your husband." Lin Heng smiled when he recovered.

"No, if you die on the grassland, there's no need for me to make such a bad move."

Lin Heng felt aggrieved, really angry.

"Ajin, I'm sorry."

"I was sincere when I apologized. I know I was wrong, but I just didn't change it. Right?" Seeing that Lin Heng didn't speak, Wei Ruojin felt annoyed for a while, "Forget it, who made you a general? It's someone else's son, husband, or father, and your background makes you no exception, just be safe."

"I will live, you are still waiting for me, I have to come back alive." Lin Heng let Wei Ruojin hug him, and said after a while: "However, people are really dying. I brought 2 people with me." They almost hit their royal court, and they brought back a lot of slaves this time, which should be enough for you."

"I see. This time, the wounded soldiers who can't go to the battlefield should be handed over to Steward Shang. I built a new sugar factory, and the housing is still under construction. That Xiangyi is very good at this business. You rest first, I'll get what I want to eat later."

"You can sleep with me."

Wei Ruojin took off her shoes and lay down with him, suddenly thought of the wounded soldier with a broken arm, and felt Lin Heng startled, "It seems that a slave said that there is an iron mine over there."
