Chapter 782
There was a war in the border town, and it was also the northern town under the garrison of the Zhen Guogong Mansion. Lu Mingyang, who was originally in the Leyou Villa, returned to the capital soon.

There was a war in the border town, no matter how small the war was, the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion was also the backing of the northern town.

Now Lu Da, the Duke of Zhen, is in charge of the commander-in-chief of the northern city, and the second son, Lu Jinzhen, is the left general of the vanguard battalion of the northern city. In addition, Lu Jinkang also happens to be in the northern city at the right time, and the father and son will fight against the enemy together.

The support from the rear, the supply of weapons, grain, grass, and medicinal materials are indispensable, and Lu Mingyang needs to come out of the mountain again.

When Lu Mingyang returned to the capital, he began to run around the palace, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households non-stop, raising more food, grass, and medicinal materials for the soldiers in the border towns, and gaining more support from the court.

If Lu Jinkang was in the capital, most of these things would be on his shoulders, but now Lu Jinkang is in the northern city, and the other adult grandsons have not experienced it, so this time he just took them to practice together.

Of course, there is the Holy Majesty who has always trusted Zhen Guo Gongfu, and the generals and officials of Zhen Guo Gong have strong support, coupled with Lu Mingyang's tough iron fist, even if there is some resistance in the court, it will still be in a very short time. They raised weapons, food, grass, and medicinal materials to be transported to the northern city, but the quantity did not satisfy Lu Mingyang.

Seeing Lu Mingyang getting up in the dark in order to prepare the materials to be sent to the northern city, with blisters at the corners of his mouth, Su Yunduo naturally had to act.

Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country!
Su Yunduo sent letters to Zhuangzi and Geshan Village under his own name, and arranged to send food and medicine to the northern city as quickly as possible.

Now Su Yunduo is in charge of most of the Zhuangzi in Lu Jinkang's hands, and the property under the name of Dafang. Naturally, he knows that the grain produced by the Zhuangzi under the name of Lu Jinkang and Dafang is never sold to the outside world, and a part of it is set aside every year to store up in Zhuangzi as preparations for war. In the granary, most of them were sent to the northern city as military rations.

When Lu Jinkang handed over the Zhuangzi under his own name to Su Yunduo, he naturally explained all possible situations to Su Yunduo. Therefore, except for the green japonica rice produced in Leyou Villa, the grains under Su Yunduo's name Zhuangzi's surplus grain naturally underwent the same treatment.

Of course, with the continuous expansion of Yujiefang, there are more and more laborers. In addition, it has only been two years since Yang Jiaji Zhuangzi came to Su Yunduo's name, so she doesn't have much food in hand.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, and besides, it's still the food stored by Zhuangzi under the name of Lu Jinkang and Zhuangzi under the name of Dafang.

When Su Yunduo handed over the food he raised to Lu Mingyang, Lu Mingyang, who had been exhausted from fighting with officials in the court these days, was immediately overjoyed. With the awe-inspiring attitude of "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country", he rejected the large reward from the Holy Majesty for Su Yunduo.

For a while, Su Yunduo had the same scenery in the capital, which made those officials who wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Zhen Guogong's mansion envious, jealous and helpless.

No one expected that the pressure they put on the Zhen Guo Mansion not only didn't cause any loss to the Zhen Guo Manor, but on the contrary fulfilled the righteous name of the Zhen Guo Mansion and Su Yunduo again.

As Su Yunduo took the initiative to "donate" the food stored by their husband and wife and the big house, it is naturally impossible for Zhen Guogong's house and other houses to fall behind. Soon the "donated food" of Zhen Guogong's house exceeded The food prepared by the household department made Shengshang Longyan furious.

After all, in the past few years, Dongling Country has been considered to be in good weather, and there have been no major disasters in various places. It can be said that all the major granaries are full of cards, but the Ministry of Households is delaying with various excuses.

As a result of His Majesty’s wrath, some officials had to be severely punished. With the sacking of some officials in the household department who occupied the latrine and did not do practical work, the military department, which was as procrastinated as the household department, instantly increased the speed of arranging reinforcements and preparing weapons. The weapons that Lu Mingyang called for were prepared according to the quality and quantity, and the troops and generals supporting the northern city were also in place one after another.

The large hospital also prepared a large amount of medicinal materials, and Leyou Winery naturally purified a batch of medical liquor day and night.

On the eighth day of March, the soldiers from the capital to support the northern city went straight to the northern city in mighty force.

The heavy trucks of weapons, food, grass, and medicinal materials followed, and rushed to the border town day and night without stopping.

In order to ensure that the supplies carried by the trucks reach the border town safely, Lu Mingyang originally planned to go into battle by himself, but was dismissed by the Holy One. No matter how short the court is in manpower, the old Lu Mingyang cannot be allowed to go out again.

As a result of several discussions between the Holy Majesty and Lu Mingyang, the task of escorting still fell on the imperial guards. The chief escort was nominated by Lu Mingyang, who was chosen by Lu Kun from the Lu clan.

Lu Kun is Lu Mingyang's nephew who didn't have a third uniform. He and Lu Da followed Lu Mingyang to practice in the border town for several years. He is not inferior to Lu Da in terms of leading troops, but he is not conspicuous in the court. He has also been kept in the capital by the sage to work for the sage.

It can be said that Lu Kun is not only a person valued by the Holy Majesty, but also a sharp knife left in the capital by the Duke of Zhenguo. Now is the time for this sharp knife to show its sharpness.

To Su Yunduo's surprise, the Holy One personally appointed Ning Zhongping as the deputy escort to assist Lu Kun in escorting the war supplies to the northern city.

As soon as the battle report was sent to the capital, Ning Zhongping eagerly came to Zhen Guogong's mansion, intending to go to Beibian City to help in the battle through Lu Mingyang.

Although going to the battlefield is the most direct way for a military officer to accumulate military exploits and get promoted, Su Yunduo is not very willing for Ning Zhongping to go to the battlefield, but she understands that at this time, she cannot stop Ning Zhongping.

Fortunately, Lu Mingyang knew that Lu Jinkang had other intentions in transferring Ning Zhongping back to the Forbidden Army, so he would not directly send him to the reinforcements. He seemed to have mentioned Ning Zhongping in front of the Holy Master unintentionally, praising him for his superb martial arts skills and his meticulous heart.

The Holy Majesty is the most transparent person, he knows the elegant meaning by hearing the stringed songs, so he personally appointed Ning Zhongping as the deputy escort of the war preparation materials, and fulfilled his wish to go to the northern city.

Along with Lu Kun, Lu Yuhua's husband Chen Mian, the third son Lu Jinbai and the fourth son Lu Jinlin of the Zhen Guogong's mansion escorted this batch of war supplies. These two sons are 17 years old this year, and they should be at the age of experience. .

Before escorting the batch of supplies for shipment, Lu Mingyang invited Lu Kun into the study room of the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion, naturally there were some things that needed to be explained.

To Lu Kun's surprise, there was another person in the outer study. This person was Su Yunduo, the wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen.

Lu Kun knew Su Yunduo himself. Although Su Yunduo was a generation older, but because Su Yunduo was of a higher grade than him, Lu Kun was slightly shocked, and quickly hugged Su Yunduo with full courtesy.

Su Yunduo turned his body slightly, and only received half a salute from Lu Kun.

After the guests and hosts sat down, the butler brought someone to bring tea and left, Lu Mingyang looked at Lu Kun and said straight to the point: "I invite you to come today. Brother Kang's daughter-in-law has something to tell you."

Lu Kun was slightly startled, although he knew Su Yunduo's position in the Zhen Guogong Mansion long ago, he never thought that she would be able to participate in the men's affairs.

Su Yunduo didn't miss the flashing look on Lu Kun's face, and said bluntly with a smile on his face: "When the third uncle passes by Yanshan Mansion, someone will send a batch of medicinal materials, and then the third uncle will just pick it up together. Take it to the border town. This is the token for docking, third uncle, please keep it."

Lu Kun was the third son in his generation, so Su Yunduo followed Lu Jinkang and called him third uncle.

After Su Yunduo finished speaking, Su Yunduo handed a token made of iron wood to Lu Kun. This token was specially made by Su Yunduo when he came to Beijing from Geshan Village in case of emergency, and it is really used now.

One of the pair of tokens followed her into the capital, and the other remained in the hands of Old Doctor Kong.

It has been more than two and a half years since Su Yunduo came to Beijing. The area of ​​medicinal materials planted in Geshan Village is more than that of each year. Although there are not a few medicinal materials traded with the military camp in the northern city every year, there are still a lot of medicinal materials. Most of them are processed into Chinese patent medicines by pharmacies.

This time, Su Yunduo specially sent a letter to the old doctor Kong, in which he carefully arranged the details of the transfer of these Chinese patent medicines. Of course, Geshan Village belongs to the property under the name of Su Chengzhi, so it is necessary to discuss with Su Chengzhi in advance.

Su Chengzhi devoted himself to teaching and educating people, and the Ning family didn't have much talent in management, so even though the property in Geshan Village was under Su Chengzhi's name, it was still managed by Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo just asked Su Chengzhi to send the medicine stored in Geshan Village to Beibian City, but Su Chengzhi nodded without saying a word, and even asked Su Yunduo to donate for free.

After repeated discussions between Su Yunduo and Su Chengzhi, they felt that Su Yunduo should fund the purchase of these medicinal materials this time.

Before Su Zexuan and his brothers grew up, Su Yunduo felt that the Su family should keep a low profile. When they grow up, they will start planning. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

Su Yunduo didn't plan to disclose this batch of medicinal materials to the outside world before they were sent to the northern city for real use.

Although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, the Zhen Guo government has been on the cusp again recently because of the "donation of food". Before the war in the northern city has not subsided, Su Yunduo felt that he should keep a low profile. Lu Mingyang praised Su Yunduo's approach very much.

When these medicinal materials show their talents in the northern city, it will naturally bring greater glory to the Duke of Zhenguo. As the provider of medicinal materials, the Su family will naturally gradually come out of the water at that time. Smack the face of those people in the court who always think that the Zhengong Mansion and Su Yunduo are trying to gain fame.

Su Yunduo didn't think too much about it. At the beginning, she just wanted to do her best for the soldiers in the northern city, and she really didn't want to push the Su family to the forefront.

Originally, according to Lu Mingyang's intention, this token should be handed over to Ning Zhongping. After all, Ning Zhongping is Su Yunduo's biological uncle, and has had quite a long relationship with the people in Geshan Village, but in the end, under Su Yunduo's explanation, It was the audience who understood Su Yunduo's intention and handed over the token to Lu Kun.

Sending away the supporting army and supplies, Su Yunduo did not stop raising food and medicinal materials.

In order to raise more grain, she sent Shenggui out and asked him to go to the south of the Yangtze River with bank notes to buy grain for emergencies.

Jiang Xiao, who led the people in Yingzhuang, bought another medium-sized farm with a thousand acres of fertile land in Yingzhou, and merged it with Yingzhuang. He took out part of the fertile land for trial planting, hoping to grow two rice crops every year , Improve the yield rate of fertile land.

In addition to food planting, Su Yunduo expanded the planting area of ​​medicinal materials in the suburbs of Beijing, and got in touch with the owner of the Valley of Divine Medicine, who provided manpower to come to the medicinal garden in the suburbs of Beijing to guide the planting and processing of medicinal materials.

After a lot of busy work, when Su Yunduo relaxed again, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because the war in the northern city has been stalemate, the Holy Majesty canceled the dragon boat race for this year's Dragon Boat Festival, and the entire capital seemed a bit depressed because of the war.

Lu Jinkang, who was supposed to return home in one and a half months or two months, has been away from the capital for four full months. Su Yunduo, who was pregnant for only two months and had a flat belly, is now a big belly, and the baby in her stomach is early. Fetal movement started a month ago.

I remember the first time I felt fetal movement, it was at the end of March, Su Yunduo just received several letters from Beibian City, and was reading Lu Jinkang's letter at that time, I don't know if it was because of the blood connection, or because of Su Yunduo Received Lu Jinkang's confidence was a little fluctuating, anyway, she was reading Lu Jinkang's letter with red eyes, and suddenly felt her stomach was lightly pushed.

At that time, Su Yunduo froze, put his hands on his abdomen, and stared at his abdomen with lowered eyes in disbelief, but he didn't wait for the movement of the fetus in the abdomen for a long time, thinking that he felt something wrong Woolen cloth.

Whenever Su Yunduo reads the letter, the people around her will always consciously keep a certain distance from Su Yunduo, even if there is something to report, they will wait for Su Yunduo to read the letter before reporting.

The first person who noticed something abnormal about Su Yunduo was Mama Yang who was waiting in the room that day. Mama Yang had given birth to several babies, and she could see the reason for Su Yunduo's abnormality just by looking at her face. Counting Su Yunduo's pregnancy period, it was indeed arrived. When the fetus moves.

Seeing that Ziyue was about to step forward to inquire nervously, Mama Yang quickly grabbed Ziyue and shook her head silently.

When Su Yunduo thought it was just his own illusion, he suddenly felt a bubbling sensation in his stomach, which should really be the fetal movement, so he couldn't help being surprised and happy.

The baby in Su Yunduo's stomach began to move, which is good news. The news was sent to Zhenghe Hall very quickly. It is very important for An to come to Xiaofengyuan to feel it for himself.

Su Yunduo was still a little worried that the child would not show face as before, but he didn't expect that as soon as An's hand was placed on Su Yunduo's stomach, the baby in his belly moved slightly to show An's face, Xi Dean Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hurried to report the good news to Lu Jinkang.

As the days passed, the child in Su Yunduo's belly became more and more lively.

With the deepening of the war, the interval between letters returning from the northern city gradually lengthened.

Even so, Su Yunduo still wrote letters to Lu Jinkang according to his own frequency in order to let Lu Jinkang who was in the war not miss the child's growth process, and recorded the movement of the fetus in his stomach and sent it to Lu Jinkang through letters, making him nervous You can also share the joy of pregnancy in the war.
