Chapter 231 Chapter 231

Fu Jinzhi planted corn seeds in the garden, signaling the beginning of spring plowing.

On Liri, Xun Mao followed General Jin Meng back to the Jin Mansion when the sun was setting.

"Jin An, go and inform Madam that Xun Mao is here, and tell Madam that he is having dinner at the house today."

Jin Meng explained to Jin An and took Xun Maoxian to the study.

"I have received news that my father has come to Su'an City."

After the two sat down, Jin Meng stroked his beard and said.

Xun Mao's gaze was fixed on the book case, but he didn't make a sound.

Jin Meng's beard trembled, and he said solemnly: "You don't have to think too much, I already know it, even if my father stands in front of me, I won't be confused."

"General, my subordinates trust you." Xun Mao raised his eyes to look at the general, and said firmly.

Then, his gaze went down again and landed on the desk.

Jin Meng frowned, "Since you believe in me, you should raise your head upright, and lower your head timidly, what do you look like!"

"General, this subordinate is not bowing his head timidly, this subordinate is just..." Xun Mao paused, with a hint of strangeness in his tone, and continued: "Just curious."

Jin Meng: "Curiosity? Is there anything on my desk that makes you curious?"

As he said that, Jin Meng looked for him.

Then, he saw a stack of papers arranged in a staggered manner.

"General, why did you copy the military manual so many times?" Xun Mao asked curiously when Jin Meng's expression changed.

Jin Meng...cleared his throat, "It's boring, I just wrote it by hand."

When it came to telling the bet or concealing it, Jin Meng took a breath and chose to conceal it.

Because he felt that Xun Mao was miserable enough now.

It is a sad thing for any man if the woman he wants to marry is not sincerely married to him.

Now tell him that his wife has noticed it a long time ago, and the couple made a bet because of it.

Jin Meng felt that it was a kind of cruelty.

So Jin Meng told a white lie.

But this white lie, stopped in Xun Mao's ears, but made his face brushed, full of disbelief.

He asked in astonishment: "Are you still the general you know?"

If the two can make friends, they naturally have something in common.

For example: Everyone hates books.

Not to mention copying books, reading books on weekdays is a painful thing.

Why did I work so hard to copy the book? It's not because you are not up to date!
Jin Meng slandered in his heart, but his eyes shot honestly.

Xun Mao: "..."

Did I see dissatisfaction in the general's eyes?

As soon as this thought came out, Xun Mao's heart trembled.

Looking at that again, he glanced at the papers that he couldn't count.

Xun Mao had a bold idea, "General, have you been punished by your wife?"

Because of being punished, you feel that you have lost face, so you are dissatisfied with your subordinates and ask you.

The more he thought about it, Xun Mao felt, the more it seemed like that.

"Xun Mao!" Jin Meng didn't expect Xun Mao to say this, his eyes widened and he shouted sternly.

Xun Mao stood up and said loudly, "This subordinate is here."

"Go back and copy the book of war one hundred times, and hand it over to me." Jin Meng gritted his teeth.

Immediately, Xun Mao was dumbfounded. Did the general become angry from embarrassment because of what he said?

But he didn't want to copy books, he didn't want to copy any numbers.

"General, if your subordinates copy the military manual a hundred times, they will be useless."

Hearing this, Jin Meng pulled the corners of his lips coldly, "Xun Mao, do you want to disobey orders?"

"Subordinates don't dare." Out of the nature of a soldier, Xun Mao readily agreed, but his heart was filled with tears.

He looked resentfully at the Shangguan behind the desk.

General, you yourself were punished by your sister-in-law, but you can't let your subordinates taste the pain too?

Unfortunately, Xun Mao's resentful eyes did not make Jin Meng feel uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Jin Meng glared at him and scolded in a solemn voice: "Are you a woman? How dare you make such a disgusting expression? Get back to normal right now!"

"Yes, General." Xun Mao laughed bitterly in his heart, and his face became serious.

At this moment, Jin Meng knocked on the table.

He said: "I copied military books, not because I was punished by your sister-in-law, but because I wanted to learn. Cough... You should know that my status is different now, and I can no longer live carelessly like in the past."

"So the general is studying?" Xun Mao pretended to be surprised, but he didn't think he was disobedient.

If others say study, he may believe it.

But the general, Xun Mao felt that the other party was covering up.

However, as a loyal subordinate, Xun Mao felt that he should learn to play dumb.

Jin Meng didn't know what Xun Mao was thinking, he nodded, raised his hand to stroke his beard, and said, "That's true. For me, this book is not enough just to read it. I need to copy it several times to understand the essence of it. So are you."

"General, my subordinates are shallow." Xun Mao's eyes glowed with admiration, and he was taught: "General, after returning home, my subordinates will definitely copy carefully."

After a pause, Xun Mao said tentatively again, "General, my subordinates feel that they are not stupid people. Look... isn't this a hundred times a bit too much?"

"Xun Mao, I think it's less than a hundred times..."

Before Jin Meng could finish his sentence, Xun Mao cut it off simply, "General, this subordinate thinks that a hundred times is just right. A stupid person like this subordinate needs to work hard to get the right answer. General, you are simply too It's wise."

As Xun Mao said, he kept his eyes wide open as much as possible.

It's like saying: General, look at my sincere eyes!

Facing Xun Mao like this, the corners of Jin Meng's mouth twitched, and he clenched his fist and put it to his lips.

"Xun Mao, now that you understand it, hand in the military book you copied a hundred times as soon as possible. Oh! I almost forgot..."

Xun Mao felt bad, and hurriedly said loudly: "General, you haven't forgotten anything."

Jin fiercely glared at Xun Mao who interrupted.

Xun Mao lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

He was wrong, he is a small subordinate, not only must he be able to pretend to be stupid, but he also cannot interrupt when Shangguan is speaking.

Without Xun Mao interjecting, Jin Meng went smoothly and said what he hadn't finished just now.

"Xun Mao, after you finish copying, write another piece of experience and hand it in together."

Xun Mao's eyes widened in horror...

What do you think?How to write that thing?
My God, the general didn't want his experience, he clearly wanted his own life.

Getting angry from embarrassment must be becoming angry from embarrassment!
The general is really, he provoked his wife and was punished, and he actually took his anger on an innocent person like him.

Madam sister-in-law, come and save your subordinates, right?

Xun Maogang thought so.

Benedict!Benedict!
There was a sudden knock on the door.

Xun Mao shuddered, his wish came true?

Seeing Xun Mao's strange expression, Jin Meng frowned.

But he doesn't have time to talk to each other now.

Looking at the door with piercing eyes, Jin Meng said harshly, "Come in!"

Squeak!

Fu Jinzhi outside the door opened the door and walked in.

Xun Mao: ... If you really want to, it will come true!

"Ma'am, are you here?" Jin Meng stood up when he saw someone coming.

Fu Jinzhi smiled: "Husband, what are you talking about with General Xun? I was in the yard, and I heard voices from the study."

Jin Meng: "...It's just a little thing."

In front of his wife who knew the truth, Jin Meng did not dare to say what he had fooled Xun Mao.

Thinking of this, Jin Meng walked out from behind the desk.

"Ma'am, Xun Mao came back with me today, do you want to talk about spring sowing?"

Walking to Xun Mao's side, Jin Meng patted Xun Mao's shoulder with his big palm.

"Your sister-in-law is here, come here and tell your sister-in-law about the spring sowing?"

Xun Mao only felt that his shoulder hurt.

Ugh!
As a small subordinate, he was really helpless.

Looking at his wife who dared to punish the general, Xun Mao's eyes lit up.

"Hi, madam."

Fu Jinzhi looked at Shang Xun Mao with admiration, and there was a playfulness in his eyes.

"Hello General Xun."

After Fu Jinzhi returned, he looked at his husband with a half smile but not a smile.

Jin Meng's spirit tensed instantly.

He shook his beard, and said quickly: "Madam, Xun Mao, let's sit down here and talk in detail while drinking tea."

"As my husband wishes." Fu Jinzhi raised the corners of his lips and replied softly.

Jin Meng: "..."

I always feel that my wife has seen through everything.

After a while, the three sat down and talked about business.

"Sister-in-law, spring plowing has already started, but there is not enough grain in Lu'an City. My subordinates hope that Mrs. Sister-in-law can send some of the grain to Lu'an City for the people to cultivate." Xun Mao took the lead and spoke first.

Now that he is stationed in Lu'an City, he naturally wants to think about the people of Lu'an City.

In fact, this matter was not brought up by Xun Mao himself, but by his subordinates who stayed in Lu'an City, who sent a letter to request him.

After Xun Mao knew about it, he naturally wanted to report the matter, and only then did he return home with the general.

"Husband, what do you think?" Fu Jinzhi didn't answer directly, but asked Jin Meng instead.

Jin Meng: "Ma'am, we must do the business of transporting grain to the people for planting. The only shortage of grain seeds is not limited to Lu'an City. Moreover, I think it is inappropriate to distribute grain seeds for free. Our grain needs to be used As for the supply to the army, if it is distributed to the common people for free, the army will definitely be in a tight spot."

When Fu Jinzhi heard the man's words, his eyes showed satisfaction.

Humans really need exercise.

How could the reckless right general in the past think of such words?

Thinking about it, Fu Jinzhi asked: "Husband, since you think you can't distribute it to the people for free, can you think of other ways?"

"Ma'am, I think we can exchange work for food seeds?" Jin Meng didn't worry about it after hearing what his wife said, but said the method he had thought hard in the army.

Fu Jinzhi's eyes lit up, "Exchange work for grain? How is it implemented?"

"Ma'am, my idea is to let the common people cultivate land for the army, and then give them grain seeds according to their labor. In this way, when the autumn harvest comes, not only the common people can harvest grain, but the army can also harvest their own grain. Jin Meng thought about that scene, his eyes were full of light.

After the words fell, before Fu Jinzhi could express his opinion, Xun Mao couldn't wait to clap his hands, "General, your idea is very good. We can harvest the grain ourselves, so we don't have to wait for the court to give us alms."

Thinking of the difficulty of the imperial court in appropriating military salaries in previous years, Xun Mao wished he could yell at Sheng Jing for three days and three nights.

"General, Mrs. Sister-in-law, when we grow our own food, there will be no such thing as an imperial court."

Xun Mao said bitterly.

Fu Jinzhi looked at the excited Xun Mao, and then looked at his man expectantly.

She nodded: "My husband's idea is very good."

Hearing this, Jin Meng's heart surged with joy, the method he, a reckless man, has been recognized by his wife, that's great!

However, Jin Meng did not drift away because of this.

"I was able to come up with this method because I was inspired by my wife when she built a new city, so strictly speaking, it's my wife who deserves the most credit."

Fu Jinzhi laughed, "My husband can get inspiration from one thing and apply it to another. This is my own ability."

Xun Mao looked at the husband and wife who complimented each other, his eyes flashed with sadness.

Jin Meng, a big man, didn't notice.

But Fu Jinzhi was keenly aware of it.

The expression in her eyes changed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up, "My husband, although your idea is good, it's not the best."

"I thought Madam would definitely have a better way." Hearing this, Jin Meng was not angry at all, but said sincerely, "Madam please enlighten me?"

Fu Jinzhi smiled at his husband's performance.

If you regard her as a staff member, then her husband is the master who can listen to good words.

People are not afraid of being stupid, what they are afraid of is being stupid and not knowing it.

The smile in his eyes deepened, and Fu Jinzhi raised the corners of his lips and said, "Husband, although your idea is good, there are two points that have to be considered. First, the time for spring plowing is limited. The people are both in the army and farming for themselves. Enough? Especially in families with limited labor. Second, after the food is planted, it is left alone. Afterwards, it needs to be watered, weeded, fertilized, and even the final harvest. Will the common people be asked to help? "

Listening to his wife's words, Jin Meng frowned, "Ma'am, I was thinking too little before."

Not to mention the spring plowing time, even the follow-up, he didn't think about it.

As for my wife, a noble girl from the Hou's mansion, how would she know?

Jin Meng completely attributed it to his wife who had already inquired about it when he was planting grain in the garden.

Therefore, now Jin Meng is waiting for his wife's next words.

As for Xun Mao, his attention had long been attracted by Fu Jinzhi's words.

Thinking of waiting for the imperial court to pay the almost impossible military salary, Xun Mao felt very depressed.

Seeing that the general was waiting for his wife's words, Xun Mao looked over eagerly.

However, he will have a good solution for the general's wife, so he doesn't have much hope.

In Xun Mao's view, the general's idea just now is already very good.

Fu Jinzhi looked at the two of them, and pursed his lips slightly.

She said six words, "Let the sergeant also farm."

"Soldiers are fighting, how can they be allowed to farm?" Xun Mao blurted out because he was too surprised to speak.

Fu Jinzhi: "Why can't the soldiers farm the land?"

"They need training." Xun Mao replied without thinking.

Hearing this, Fu Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

She raised her plain hand and picked up the teacup, not going to say any more.

Seeing this, Xun Mao had no choice but to go to see General Shangguan, and then he was shocked to find that the general was really thinking.

Suddenly, Xun Mao felt ridiculous.

Is it necessary to think about such a nonsense thing as letting the sergeant not train, but to farm the land?

Definitely not!
