The whole family travels with me

Chapter 32

After noon, Huang Ye dragged a wild deer back with a basket of herbs on his back, which shocked a bunch of big gentlemen.

After Xu Erqian was astonished, he gave Huang Ye a thumbs up in admiration, "I wish Meng Sangpo could see what you can do with her own eyes!"

"She knows!" Huang Ye lowered his eyes and mentioned Meng Sangpo again. She would no longer lose her composure like before. Although she was still disappointed, she could treat her with a normal heart.

A group of people returned to the small courtyard. Huang Ye did not go out in the afternoon, but stayed in the courtyard to sort out everyone's harvest. After counting this part, they will be sent back first. They will continue to stay in Shiwandashan until the war takes a turn for the better, or Herbal medicine supply problem solved.

Doctor Wang and others had been waiting for news in the city. When a bunch of herbs and game were returned, everyone in the mansion was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Doctor Wang was shocked when he saw the big insect, and the wild deer Huang Ye caught was an adult stag, the best choice for making medicinal wine.

Just do it. Dr. Wang asked the steward of the mansion to finish the registration and immediately started to process the game. The meat, which cost a lot of money, was transported to Yuzhou Mansion for sale. Logically speaking, it is closer to Yongyang Mansion. Who told Yongyang Mansion to be close to it? It's a mountain of [-] yuan, and game can't be sold at a good price there. In addition, the well-known merchants in the city know the people from the Major General's Mansion. In all likelihood, the price will be lowered. It's better to get it to Yuzhou Mansion, where you can exchange it for some money. Some medicinal materials.

The medicinal wine he concocted can also be sent there, and those who know the goods will definitely give a good price.

With Ben Tou, Dr. Wang seemed to be several years younger for a while. His eyesight was clear and he was not short of breath. He walked vigorously and looked energetic.

For the next half month, Huang Ye led [-] people to sweep up the Shiwan Mountain. During this period, they also encountered some crises. Fortunately, everyone was alert and Huang Ye took the lead. There were no serious casualties. Except for the herbs, We also caught a lot of prey one after another, including wild boars, black bears, pythons, wild deer, and small hares and pheasants.

After their sweep, the number of wild beasts outside Shiwanda Mountain is estimated to have been reduced by half.

When the first snow fell, Huang Ye decisively took everyone back to the city.

A group of people entered the city like soldiers returning in triumph. Both sides of the road were crowded with family members who had received the news in advance. They were all happy and had tears in their eyes. Even Huang Ye was so moved that his eyes turned red.

When the team reached Yongding Street, Huang Ye stopped, turned around and said to the 200 people: "You go back first and take a good bath and have a good night's sleep. When I go back, I will discuss it with the house manager and I will send people to deliver money to you door to door. If you are worried, you can come back to the Major General's Mansion with me, but it's cold today, so you have to work harder."

The young general's reputation was well known, and Huang Ye's character was trustworthy to them. After some discussion, they all decided to go home first.

Huang Ye grinned and turned back to the Major General's Mansion.

While other places in the mansion were quiet, Cuizhuxuan was extremely lively.

Maybe it was because it was snowing, so a shed was set up in the yard for everyone to work on, and hot tea and snacks were cooked on the side, which was really thoughtful.

As soon as Huang Ye appeared, everyone greeted her excitedly.

She responded one by one and went into the pharmacy to see Dr. Wang.

"Master, it's snowing in the mountains. We can't go back into the mountains until the snow melts in spring. What about the supply of medicinal materials?"

Doctor Wang picked up an account book and showed it to her, "Read it for yourself."

Huang Ye only turned two pages before his eyes widened in astonishment, "What's going on? Why are all the proceeds from selling prey?" Dr. Wang chuckled mockingly, "Don't say you're surprised, I'm surprised too! The imperial court has been They said the treasury was empty, but the tiger skin you got fell into the eyes of the Yuzhou magistrate. Without blinking an eye, the Yuzhou magistrate spent 3000 taels to get it, along with the medicinal wine I concocted and some wild game. , sold a total of more than 1 taels.

But instead of asking for money, we made a deal with the Yuzhou magistrate, asking him to purchase medicinal materials on the market at the lowest price and convert them. Together with the herbs you brought back, we can barely survive until the beginning of spring. "

"How can a Yuzhou magistrate easily come up with so much money?" Huang Ye blinked, gaining a new understanding of the chaos among Chen Guo officials.

I remember that when she was the eldest princess Duanrong of the Yan Kingdom, the court was clean and tidy, and even corrupt officials would not dare to be so corrupt. A small prefect of Yuzhou had such wealth. Aren't those high officials above them rich enough to rival the country!Could it be that Chen Guo’s treasury was in their belt?

Dr. Wang exhaled in frustration and frowned irritably, "Don't mention them, these are the money we sold and converted. We organized people to go to Yuzhou Mansion to settle accounts. According to the purchase price in the Mansion, all we can allocate I’ll give you 5000 taels to share with everyone, and I’ll keep your share for you alone.”

Huang Ye knew that the master would not let her suffer, so she thanked her immediately and went to the steward to ask for money.

200 people, each person is divided into 25 taels, which is an astronomical figure that is unimaginable for the poor people at the bottom who have been in extreme poverty for a long time.

Each one of them acted like a fool when they got the money. When the person who gave the money left, they still stood there in the yard, but their family members were so happy that they all put their money down facing the Major General's Mansion and knelt down to kowtow.

Almost every household in several villages has participated in this operation. 25 taels not only enriches everyone's pockets, but also allows them to start renovating their houses in the spring, and families who want to marry a daughter-in-law don't have to worry about betrothal gifts.

Before the heavy snow closed the village, every household was rushing to the city to make various arrangements. For a time, Pucheng was even more lively than the New Year. This phenomenon had never happened during the tenure of Magistrate Gongsun.

Some people were so excited that they actually made a statue of Tian Huai and placed it at home to worship him every day.

When Tian Huai received this news, he squirted a sip of tea in the battalion commander's room, "Are they crazy? Are they worshiping me? This prince is not dead yet!"

Mr. Wen quickly comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, if you think about it from another perspective, it shows that the people love you! Why don't they worship King Chen or Marshal Wei Tong? It shows that this is what the people want!"

"Then I have to set off firecrackers to celebrate?" Tian Huai laughed angrily.

Mr. Wen shook his head seriously, "That's not necessary. Just pretend that you don't know anything about it. Let's ignore this matter. Let's talk about the next deployment. We fought a few battles with the Yan army. We also know a little about Marshal Shan Pei of the Yan Kingdom. This person With courage and strategy, if we want to break the deadlock, the first step is to deal with him."

When it came to serious matters, Tian Huai instantly forgot about the statue's displeasure and frowned in deep thought, "I have also thought about attacking Shan Pei, but this man is extremely cautious and never takes the lead. The only way to kill him is to go deep into the enemy's camp and assassinate him. It’s easy to say that nine out of ten people will never come back!”

He still has some dead soldiers on hand, all of whom he has cultivated over the years, and he doesn't want to lose anyone in an operation like this that has a high probability of failure.

Mr. Wen nodded, "You don't need your dead soldiers. It's winter now. It's hard for us, but it may not be easy for the other side. Find a way to spread the news about food and grass and let them take the initiative to attack. Let's ambush and give it a try!"

If we successfully ambush Shan Pei, this war will be over. If we fail, we will continue to fight!

After weighing the matter, Tian Huai agreed with Mr. Wen's strategy.
