Chapter 230 Leaving the Barracks
Chapter 230 Leaving the Barracks
The group walked for a long time and finally arrived at the place Yu Tingwan wanted.
This is the place where Zhang Daya said he picked the herbs!
What are you doing here?
General Sun looked at the sparse woods not far ahead and seemed to understand what the princess meant.
"Princess, do you want us to cut down these trees and plant crops?"
Hearing such shocking remarks, Yu Tingwan turned to look at him, very curious about how this General Sun's train of thought was.
After looking for a while without seeing anything, Yu Tingwan gave up, his expression slightly helpless.
"General Sun, if we cut down these trees and plant crops, the crops will be blown to death on the loess slopes by the bleak north wind before they even sprout!"
Uh, General Sun scratched his head, what should we do then?
Yu Tingwan stretched out his hand and marked an area, pointing at this place.
"Come on, soldiers, thank you for your hard work. Let's start by clearing the land and picking out the weeds and rocks in this area."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at General Sun who was leading the group.
Do we really want to do this? Is the princess kidding?
Yu Tingwan, who was about to take Lu Cheng to see the woods where Zhang Daya was looking for medicinal herbs, frowned at the people who were motionless.
"What? You don't want to move? You want to wait for the prince to come?"
Hearing this, General Sun did not dare to hesitate any longer and immediately ordered everyone to get to work.
Let’s get to work first!
Looking at the people moving, Yu Tingwan led Lu Cheng and others into the woods.
Song Shixu looked back as he walked.
"Princess, are you sure this land can grow food?"
If they fail to grow the seeds and all the trouble is in vain, the soldiers will surely feel resentful. Even Shen Chenli doesn't dare to do something so uncertain.
In the end, it didn't end well. What the generals lost was not only some good seeds, but also the morale of their troops!
How could Yu Tingwan not know what he meant, but since she had been asked to plant it, she would naturally make it grow.
There is no possibility of overturning!
"Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to grow them."
A few people entered the woods, which were actually just a few slightly lush trees.
"Found it, the princess is here!"
Knowing that Yu Tingwan was going to take him to the woods today, Zhang Daya was particularly active. After entering the woods, he tried hard to find usable herbs.
Finally he found the herb he had been experimenting with, which the princess said was of great use.
Yu Tingwan and a few others followed and saw that the root of the tree was indeed what they were looking for. They then asked Zhang Daya to pick herbs here while they continued walking.
"Princess, are you looking for something?"
Lu Cheng was very curious. He could see the end of this place at a glance. What was the princess looking for?
Yu Tingwan was wandering in the woods just to see if there was anything she wanted here.
"Look around. This forest is so dry. I wonder if there are any good things here."
A few people were wandering in the woods. Yu Tingwan squinted and looked under a tree. Why do the leaves look so much like Polygonum multiflorum?
Reaching out for a shovel, Yu Tingwan squatted on the ground and was about to start working, when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Song Shixu who was standing there watching.
"Is it time for our eldest son Song to start working?"
Song Shixu only reacted when the shovel was handed to him. His peach blossom eyes were almost turning into almond eyes. He pointed to the ground in disbelief and then looked at Yu Tingwan.
Well, looking at Song Shixu squatting on the ground, Yu Tingwan said, very comfortable!
It seems that I still need to find a few more brothers, so that I don’t have to do anything by myself in the future.
"What is this black thing?"
Yu Tingwan saw what he was holding, took it and put it in the backpack.
"nice one."
Go back and plant them in the space, then resell them and make another fortune!
"He Shou Wu, a top-quality medicinal herb."
Looking at the medicinal herbs in the backpack, Lu Cheng was heartbroken.
He has been at the border for so many years, how come he hasn't discovered such a good thing?
Is my luck so bad?
The self-controlled and steady Lu Cheng couldn't help himself.
By the time they finished wandering in the woods, the progress over there had only passed a little.
There is a lot of yellow sand at the border, and the soil here is indeed lacking in moisture. When winter comes, this area will be frozen.
They were also very curious about how the princess would deal with these problems.
For several days in a row, Yu Tingwan took them out to turn the soil, and also took people to the border for a few days.
"Princess, we have been searching for several days but haven't found any bamboo. What should we do?"
After experiencing unforgettable pain, An Si was also assigned a task, which was to follow Yu Tingwan to find bamboo.
As a result, they searched almost every border area but couldn't find it.
Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows. If it really didn’t work, then she would have to try other methods.
At night, after experiencing another round of fighting, Shen Chenli returned to the tent and saw Yu Tingwan still sitting in the chair writing and drawing.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Yu Tingwan saw him come back and motioned for him to come over and sit down.
"You know what I've been doing lately, right?"
Shen Chenli nodded slightly and sat on the other side.
He smells of blood, so you'd better stay away from him.
"I have sent people to look for it elsewhere. There is no need to rush. We still have some food. We can still use it in an emergency."
Yu Tingwan shook his head and thought more.
"No, we have to get all of this done as soon as possible. Only when we grow food at the border will more people be willing to stay here and follow us."
She had already thought it through. After a while, she would take out the food in the space to overcome the current crisis. It would definitely be enough for the war this winter.
Shen Chenli didn't expect that she had already thought about the future, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Beidi had been like a madman during this period, and he had been staying in the front and had hardly come back. He didn't expect that she had thought so much about him.
"Don't worry. Although there are a few unruly people in the army, most of the soldiers know what to do."
After all, no one has forgotten what the emperor did to them!
"So no matter what the emperor does, we have to make plans first. Only when we have backup forces can we fight with more peace of mind."
No matter who you fight!
Yu Tingwan felt a little warm in her heart as she looked at Shen Chenli, who was sitting beside her, afraid that the smell of blood would stink her.
He stood up and pulled him out of the tent.
"Where?"
Shen Chenli was puzzled. Was there anything going on so late?
"Come on, I'll take you to a nice place and give you something good."
Shen Chenli was dragged away with a confused look on his face. When they got outside, a horse was pulled over and the two of them quickly left the military camp.
"Hey, where are the prince and princess going?"
"I don't know, maybe something urgent?"
The two men who had already left the military camp ran quickly towards a hillside.
