Li Yuan nodded to Uncle Shi Tou and said,

"Uncle Shi Tou, don't worry, I always keep my word."

"I can leave 100 coins first."

"Uncle Shi Tou, you can send me five loads of coal tomorrow first."

Uncle Shi Tou quickly waved his hand, excitedly saying.

"No need, no need, you're Xia's man, I trust you."

"Tomorrow, I'll have my boy pick a few loads over for you."

Having a way to make money, Uncle Shi Tou was very happy.

This kind of black coal is abundant in the stone cave behind the village.

As long as he delivers it to this Master Li, he'll get money.

Then this young master is his benefactor.

20 coins a load might not be worth mentioning in the county town.

But in these mountains, 20 coins is already a pretty good income.

Li Yuan was also very happy.

Coal has a higher calorific value and lasts longer than wood.

Whether it's for brewing wine, making glass, or forging iron, it's very useful to me.

If the mountains can steadily provide me with coal,

then the fuel problem for the workshop will be solved.

At this time, Xia brought up a plate of wild mountain fruits.

To help everyone in the room sober up.

There were apricots, plums, and some fruits that Li Yuan didn't recognize.

Li Yuan picked one up, took a bite, it was a bit sour but refreshing.

Seeing these fruits,

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

These fruits are rich in sugar, can't they be used for brewing wine too?

"There are quite a few, there are several wild fruit orchards on the north slope, there are plenty of fruits this time of year."

"If our village is short of food, we sometimes rely on these mountain fruits to survive."

"It's just that eating too many of these fruits causes stomach upset and doesn't fill you up."

"So, we usually pick some sweet ones to eat, and the rest is dried into fruit, which can be stored longer."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"Then, if these mountain fruits can be transported to Dongxiang Village,"

"I'll give 20 coins per load as well."

"Is there anyone willing to do it?"

As soon as Uncle Leopard heard this, he laughed heartily.

"I can do this, I'll send you a few loads tomorrow."

Li Yuan nodded, he wanted to try using these mountain fruits to brew wine.

It wouldn't matter if he failed, after all, these mountain fruits are much cheaper than grain.

Uncle Shi Tou and Uncle Leopard both got work from Li Yuan.

Naturally, they were happy.

They all praised Uncle Jiang for having a good daughter.

Who actually brought back such a good husband.

This made Xia, who was cooking in the kitchen, blush.

Uncle Jiang was also in a good mood today.

Although his daughter's marriage didn't have his permission.

Fortunately, the man his daughter brought back is capable.

This made him very proud.

Seeing that Li Yuan also brought a lot of cloth and coarse tea this time.

Uncle Jiang called out a few women from the village again from outside.

And asked them to take the cloth and make pants for each of the children in the village.

So that those kids wouldn't have their butts exposed.

This made everyone laugh.

Uncle Jiang was happy and drank a few more cups, already feeling a bit tipsy.

Uncle Shi Tou and Uncle Leopard, seeing this, took their leave first.

One was going to dig coal in the back mountain, and the other was going to pick mountain fruits on the north slope.

After seeing off the two uncles,

Xia helped Uncle Jiang to the inner room to rest.

Li Yuan then took a walk in the village.

Uncle Jiang distributed the cloth that Li Yuan brought to the villagers, and everyone benefited.

Seeing Li Yuan, they all nodded and smiled.

Calling him 'son-in-law' in their mouths.

Li Yuan also smiled and nodded in return.

After walking around the village,

Li Yuan found that the scenery here in Beicang Mountain was beautiful.

It really is a good place.

Xia settled her father down.

Then she came out of the house.

This time when she came home, Xia showed off her face enough.

Having such a good husband.

Made everyone in the mountain village envious.

Even those who had daughters in their families were moved.

Li Yuan also gained a lot.

He discovered that this Beicang Mountain is truly a treasure mountain.

There are countless kinds of minerals and specialties.

I have to come here often in the future.

Xia took out a bundle of good quality animal skins from Jiang Bo's house.

Saying that this was given by her father, asking her to take it back and sew a few sturdy leather jackets for her husband.

Soldiers always have to go to the battlefield.

Wearing leather jackets is always safer than ordinary coarse cloth clothes.

Li Yuan was also touched in his heart, it seemed that he had already gained the approval of Xia's father.

After all, he was now starting to care about Li Yuan's safety.

The two said goodbye to Uncle Jiang, and then had to go down the mountain before dark.

The journey went smoothly.

By You time in the evening, the two had finally returned to Dongxiang Village.

When they returned home, the Chu sisters were already at home lighting the lamps and waiting.

Seeing that her husband and Xia had returned safely, Chu Wanjun was relieved.

Just as she was about to enter the house, Chu Wanjun said to Li Yuan.

"Husband, I want to catch up with the Xiaozhu sisters, I'll sleep in the west room first."

"Tonight, husband can live in the east room with Xia."

After speaking, she took Xiaozhu's hand and entered the west room.

Li Yuan was stunned.

This was clearly letting Li Yuan take Xia into his room.

During these two days of getting along, Xia gave the Chu sisters a very good impression.

She was hardworking and loyal to her husband.

In the future, she will definitely be her husband's helper.

Since this is the case, it is better to go with the flow and make good things happen.

Since things have come to this, Li Yuan naturally didn't act coy.

He took Xia, who was blushing, into the east room.

A night of hard work.

Li Yuan checked his system again.

[The Virtuous Wife System has been activated]

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a concubine [Jiang Xia]

Martial force increased from 78 to 101, from [Tiger Brave] to [Fierce General]

Intelligence increased from 72 to 80, from [Wise Heart] to [Resourceful]

Luck increased from 62 to 70, from [Slight Luck] to [Small Auspicious]

Li Yuan was a little surprised, Xia made his martial force soar.

From the so-called Tiger Brave to Fierce General.

But the improvement in intelligence and luck was limited.

It seems that the system's improvement of its own abilities has a lot to do with the potential of the wives and concubines.

Although Xia is a woman, she is strong and has surprisingly good physical fitness.

So his martial force has improved a lot.

Looking at the girl beside him, sleeping soundly from exhaustion.

Li Yuan smiled and covered her with the quilt.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day dawned, Xiaozhu got up early to make breakfast.

Xia also got up very early.

As a newlywed, she was blushing and preparing to fetch water.

It's just that the way she walked was a little strange.

It seemed that her legs and feet were a little inconvenient.

Xiaozhu behind her smiled playfully and asked Xia teasingly.

"Was your husband brave last night?"

Xia was frightened and hurriedly carried the bucket out the door.

Looking at Xia's back.

Xiaozhu was actually a little aggrieved in her heart.

She was clearly the first to enter the door.

Why did her sister give Xia the chance to share the room first?

Her sister's reason was that Xiaozhu's body was too thin.

She needed to recuperate for a few days.

When her body becomes plump, she can withstand her husband's rain and dew.

Li Yuan didn't care about the little thoughts of the women in the family.

He still had important things to do today.

That was to meet with Battalion Commander Xue and take over his winery in the village.

After eating breakfast, Li Yuan went out.

Battalion Commander Xue's winery is in the north of the village, it is an independent large yard.

There are three earth houses and a shed inside.

There are several earth stoves in the yard, and the house is filled with various pots and jars for brewing wine.

What surprised Li Yuan the most was that there was actually a well in the yard.

Li Yuan lifted a bucket of water and looked at it carefully, although the amount of water was not large, the water quality was good, enough for brewing wine.

Li Yuan was very satisfied, this winery only needs to transport grain and fuel, and add a few people to start work.
