There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 864

[Chapter 864, Entering Xiliang]

The days of rushing into Xiliang are always boring. Fortunately, Daohua is busy reading various Xiliang books, and also busy preparing food for Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang, so the time is easy to pass.

The further west you go, the colder the weather is, and it is winter now, and it is snowing in many places. In many cases, the convoy has to rush against the snowflakes.

Fortunately, Daohua was well-prepared and brought enough warm clothes. Every time he arrived at a station, he would boil a large pot of soup to dispel the cold. Almost no one fell ill along the way.

When Daohua brought tea and fresh fruits to Gu Jian, she came back and saw Xiao Yeyang gesturing on him with a cap and a military coat.

“This ear protection hat and cotton robe are well made. They are very suitable for wearing in a place like

Xiliang. So I asked Qin Xiaoliu to organize the women in the village to start making it, just to try to see if the cotton planted is warm.”

General Xiao Yeyang put his overcoat on his body: “I think it’s quite warm, and it’s very cold-proof. By the way, you How many sets have you made?”

Daohua: “The time is too short, there are only a few hundred sets of clothes, but there are more than one thousand hats. Except for the ones I kept for the convoy, the rest were transported away by the escort.”

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while: “I will immediately send a letter to Jiang Wenming Feige, and ask him to take it out and replace it with the guards. We are all so cold, and they must be colder in the front.”

Daohua had no objection, and put her and Xiao Yeyang’s food was brought out and placed on the small table in the carriage.

Xiao Yeyang picked up the steaming meat porridge and drank a few gulps: “By the way,

is your appetite okay?” Daohua nodded, holding the porridge bowl and said: “Fortunately, Doctor Ge accompanied Master to discuss The medical skills are not too boring, and the master’s spirit is not bad.”

Xiao Yeyang was relieved, after all, the old man was too old, and he was really worried that his body would not be able to bear it, but fortunately, Yiyi took good care of him.

“In about ten days, I should be arriving at the boundary of Xiliang. I want to check the situation in Xiliang first, and I may have to be separated from you for a while.”

Daohua: “You are busy with your work, I will take good care of Master. And her own.” There were a hundred guards left behind, and Cao Chuan and the others were bald, so she wasn’t worried about her safety on the road.

On November 16th, after walking for nearly a month, Daohua and his party finally entered the boundary of Xiliang.

Xiliang really deserves to be a place of bitter cold in exile. Due to the lack of management by the imperial court, even the official road is extremely uneven.

Daohua would rather ride a horse wrapped in rice dumplings than sit in a carriage and be bumped.

However, because it was too cold outside, she got back into the carriage after riding for less than half an hour.

“Xiao Yeyang, this road is really difficult to walk. We have just arrived in Xiliang. Ganzhou Guard is in the westernmost part of Xiliang. The road over there is not even suitable for carriages?”

Xiao Yeyang stretched out his hand to cover it. Looking at Daohua’s frozen red cheeks: “It’s not that bad, it’s just more upside down.”

Daohua Yan said: “I already have a feeling that I will be living in Ganzhouwei for a long time in the future.”

Xiao Yeyang Laughing: “Otherwise, you still want to run around?”

Daohua: “Xiliang has a complex landform, including mountains, basins, plains, deserts and Gobi. Since I’m here, I naturally want to take a look around. ”

Xiao Yeyang knew that Daohua was a playful person, so he quickly reminded: “Xiliang is located on the border, and the situation is complicated. There are Xiliao on the outside, and the inside is also extremely unstable, with bandits abounding. Run around.”

Daohua: “I know how to measure.” He said, sighed, “It would be great if the road can be repaired.”

Xiao Yeyang listened, and said with a smile: “Uncle Huang sent me to Xiliang, just You want me to manage Xiliang well. Not only do you need to eliminate the hidden dangers in Xiliang, but you also need to manage Xiliang’s internal affairs well. When I take full control of Xiliang in the future, I will repair the official road.”

Daohua’s eyes sparkled. Looking at Xiao Yeyang: “I believe in you, I can definitely do it.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled: “I’m afraid you are the only one who believes in me so much. Before I left, I promised Uncle Huang that I would take good care of Xiliang, but he just smiled. Yang Shoufu and Wu Dudu next to him said You have ambition, but your eyes are full of disbelief.”

Daohua: “It’s because they don’t have vision, so you can manage a strong Xiliang, and then slap them in the face.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and hugged her tightly Daohua: “Okay, listen to you, manage Xiliang well, and go back and beat Uncle Huang and the others in the face.”

Daohua nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yeyang left with Jin Lingwei on the third day after entering Xiliang. As soon as he left, Daohua took charge of the whole team.

Along the way, Daohua would replenish every place he went. When he entered Xiliang, the convoy had a lot of supplies, and there were as many as fifty horse-drawn carts transporting supplies.

After Xiao Yeyang left, Daohua was not in a hurry to hurry. When passing through towns, she almost always stopped to look around.

In the cold winter, there are very few people outside, most of them are small traders carrying loads of goods.

Most of these vendors were only wearing thin, shabby cotton-padded clothes. Looking at their flushed cheeks and noses, Daohua couldn’t help but feel flustered for them.

You know, in Xiliang winter, the outdoor temperature is absolutely below zero.

‘Bang! ‘

A trader staggered when he got up to pick up the load because his feet were stiff, and he fell down on the cold snow with the goods.

Seeing the old merchant getting up in a hurry, picking up the scattered goods with his cold and red hands tremblingly, Daohua glanced at Bishi.

Bishi received the signal and hurried forward to help the old man pick up things.

“Thank you, thank you!” The old man seemed a little scared and nervous when he saw Daohua and his party.

Daohua didn’t let Cao Chuan approach, walked over by herself, and asked with a smile, “Old man, what kind of seeds are you selling?”

The old man looked at Dao Hua, saw her look soft, and relaxed a little: “Return to the nobleman, the little old man sells pasture seeds.”

Hearing that, Dao Hua immediately became interested: “Can I have a look? ”

Of course.” The

old man hastily opened the bag containing the grass seeds, and introduced cautiously: “These seeds are newly harvested this year. They are the favorite pasture grasses for cattle, sheep, and camels. The seeds adapt well to the soil.” It’s very capable, and it’s also resistant to cold and drought, and it’s not expensive, and it costs a penny a catty.” As

he spoke, he quickly dug out a small bag of seeds.

“The pasture seeds in this bag are a little more expensive, because the pasture has certain medicinal value. Cattle and sheep are less likely to get sick after eating it, and it costs three Wen per catty.”

Daohua looked at the seeds and said to the old man: “Old man , I bought all your seeds.” The

old man was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed ecstasy: “Thank you for your care, thank you for your care.”

The pasture seeds in the cargo load were about a hundred catties, and Daohua signaled Bishi to take them directly. A bunch of copper coins to the vendor: “Old man, it’s so cold, go home.”

After speaking, he took Bishi and others and left.

The old man stared blankly at the backs of Daohua and his party for a while, then quickly put the copper wire into his pocket with trembling hands.

It is a great luck that his seeds can be sold for a hundred yuan, but he did not expect that nobleman to give him a thousand yuan directly.

The old man excitedly picked up the empty load, and rushed home full of hope.

With this thousand wen, the family will be able to survive this severe winter.
