The Petite Wife of the First Family

   Chapter 392 Su Family Army

   Xu Zhizhi's emotions came and went quickly, she knew that she did it herself, but she couldn't control it.

   Xiao Jingheng coaxed his daughter-in-law well, and received welfare again, so he put his arms around her to sleep.

  Su Zhiming from the Western Border took his soldiers to hunt, and he taught the Firehead Army a cooking skill he learned.

  Eating well and full every day in the military camp is completely different from before.

  The morale of the soldiers was very high, and the soldiers of Western Chu who wanted to harass the border residents doubted their lives.

   didn't dare to come here often to disturb people's hearts, so the old man led the soldiers to open up wasteland and plant sweet potatoes.

   They have many people and great strength, and they cultivated several mountains, all according to what Lao Hou Ye learned.

The    is drawn into a line, with a wide and deep gap in the middle to prevent the water from flowing unsmoothly.

  The dry wood on the mountain is burned into ashes, and the tender grass and tender wood are buried in the soil to make fertilizer.

   Those who take care of the land are all wounded soldiers, who used to do nothing in the barracks.

   They are supported by subsidized money from the Houfu, and some of them dare not go home even if they are injured.

  Because the family is also poor, they cannot work and have no food to eat.

  Old Houye had a good heart, so he raised the wounded soldiers by himself. The wounded soldiers knew in their hearts that it was the Houfu who raised them, and it was very uncomfortable.

   However, they didn't even eat when they got home, so they could only stay aggrieved.

   Now, they all have work to do, and the old man said that this sweet potato can feed the entire Su family army.

When    is busy, the soldiers do not exercise, so they all grow sweet potatoes together.

   Laohou also told the soldiers that after digging sweet potatoes, they can grow rapeseed, radish, and cabbage.

   Let them have enough to eat in all seasons, and the soldiers are full of energy.

   Even the wounded soldiers have swept away their previous malaise and worked extraordinarily vigorously.

  Su Zhiming led them to hunt the prey, and if they couldn't finish eating them, they went to Fucheng Zuixianglou to sell the silver, and then went to the food store in Fucheng to buy food.

   Their Su family army no longer expects those old guys in the court to give their army salaries.

   Those who like to buckle can buckle it! They are self-reliant and well-fed by their own labor.

   Every soldier is full of happy smiles, whether it is the soldiers who are training or the disabled who are farming.

  The Su family's army is even more concerted, they all know that it is the idea of ​​the Su family's first lady.

  Some people followed Old Hou Ye and Su Zhiming to Qili Village, and met the second son and young lady, young masters.

   People who haven't been there kept asking, "The sweet potato vermicelli we eat is really grown by the young lady and young master of our Su family?"

   "Yes, and bacon, dried radish, and dried cabbage are all grown by themselves."

   "Wow! We've been eating sweet potatoes in a few months, and it's delicious!"

   "What is this sweet potato porridge! That roasted sweet potato is fragrant and sweet!"

"You have eaten?"

   "I must have eaten it! Miss Houfu and Young Master have no air at all. We eat the same thing as all of them there."

   "Really! Just like what they eat, they also eat braised beef, braised pig's trotters, and pork?"

   "According to what you said, there is still a lot to eat! We can eat it in the second half of the year. The general didn't bring much last time, just give us a taste."

   "We're all full, except for sweet potatoes and dried cabbage, and the braised pork series is enough."

   "Yeah! The lady of our Su family is amazing and invented so many delicious foods."

   "That's right, there was no shortage here before. We just didn't expect to hunt animals and come back to eat."

   "Hey! What a waste of years, we used to be dizzy with hunger."

   "Hey! It's not that we don't have hunting, but it's as tasteless as eating firewood! It's the smart lady of our Su family who made it so delicious."

  Su Zhiming was very happy to hear that the soldiers were discussing his cousin in their spare time.

   "You bastards, you're free when you're full? How dare you arrange my cousin?"

   "General Mingjian, we are discussing how to eat sweet potatoes in the future."

   "Yeah! General, we have planted a few mountains, will they be damaged by then?"

  Su Zhiming said proudly, "No, my cousin Zhizhi has already told me how to store it. It won't go bad even if I eat it during the New Year, not to mention it can be made into sweet potato vermicelli."

   "General, is your cousin so good? Can you make sweet potato vermicelli?"

   "That's for sure, my cousin is super good, and General Ben can also make sweet potato vermicelli."

   Then, Su Zhiming just touted everything about his cousin with the soldiers.

   Completely forgot what he said himself, shouldn't be talking about his cousin or something.

  The soldiers listened with great interest and asked a few questions from time to time.

  Old Marquis saw such an active grandson, and the soldiers were convinced of him, and he also comforted him.

   After planting sweet potatoes, he went back to Luocheng and told the old emperor that he should disarm and return to the fields.

  Compared with the Su family army in the Western Barracks, the Jiang Family Army in the North Barracks is even more miserable!

   In previous years, there was An Dinghoufu who went to the old emperor to cry in front of the old emperor, and the army was not paid enough.

  The Ministry of Household squeezed a little food for them like squeezing toothpaste, and they were barely able to maintain it.

  This year, for some unknown reason, the Marquis of Anding suddenly stopped asking for military pay!

   They settled the North Houfu family, the son of a **** from the household department, and they even more unscrupulously deducted food.

   Jiang Rui's father, Dingbei, was so angry that he could only write to his mother, crying that their soldiers had not eaten enough for a long time!

   Jiang Rui's grandmother knew that Jiang Rui would go to Xiao Jingheng's yard for dinner every day, and she would meet the prince of Andinghoufu.

   "Rui'er, let me ask you from the side, why did the Marquis of Anding not ask for military pay this year?"

   "Hey! Grandmother, this grandson knows! My sister-in-law taught her grandfather to hunt animals and sell silver to buy food, and even took them to grow sweet potatoes..."

   "Rui'er, why did your wife tell you this? Such an important thing?"

   "Hey! Jing Heng is my best friend, and they didn't avoid grandchildren when they discussed anything."

   "Then you didn't expect your father to be so hungry in the north?"

   "Hey! Grandma, I'm sorry! Grandson really doesn't know! Didn't you let me interfere with the military camp?"

   "Hey! It's all my grandmother's fault. I want to leave a way out. No matter what, it won't hurt you!"

   "Grandma, how can I blame you! I'll ask my wife tomorrow if I can still grow sweet potatoes."

   "It's almost April now, and everything to be planted in Zhuangzi has been planted!"

   "I heard Mrs.-in-law say that sweet potatoes can be grown for two seasons, but I didn't know the details!"

   "If you can still plant, then your father will be able to eat enough after a few months of hard work!"

   "Grandmother, my father can eat enough now! Su Jiajun borrowed sweet potatoes, bacon or something from my wife and sister-in-law..."

   "Rui'er, is it true? Your eldest brother and Su Shizi often hang out together, but you don't know?"

   "Su Shizi himself doesn't know!"
