Chapter 364: No More Money to Raise a Child
Su Qingyu brought more people with her this time. ReadМ
Not to mention the people Ma Mingwen brought her, let's just say that besides Siyuan Siyuan, Su Dahu, brother Zheng Bo, and Ling Fenggu, she also brought a total of seven people.
Tiantai Yongjia is mountainous, with continuous mountains.
The more mountains there are, the richer the products, the more mineral deposits, and the more medicinal materials.
Zheng Bo, as Su Qingyu later learned, their brothers had learned a lot about prospecting from his father. In troubled times, it is not easy to survive.
In addition to having enough to eat, we also need to be able to survive safely. You have to be strong enough.
It would be great if we could find some mineral deposits.
And it's still in Yue, godfather's own territory. There are such convenient conditions. Developing and strengthening yourself is the last word. She looks for her property, earns her money, and then helps her godfather explore some mineral deposits, which is mutually beneficial.
In addition to bringing Su Dahu and Zheng Bo with them. This time I also brought Lingfenggu with me.
Tiantai, in later generations, was a strong county with abundant Chinese medicinal materials. The Dendrobium officinale and Echinacea produced are particularly famous. Wuyao is even more famous in the world. So I brought Lingfeng Valley with me this time.
Su Qingyao didn't think she was cheating, it was something that existed in itself.
Tiantai Yongjia has changed its owners in recent years, and the people are in dire straits, so it is in the hands of the godfather, but the godfather does not exploit them. The people's lives have become a little more stable.
But except for Renzhou, other places are sparsely populated and the people are hungry. Even in Raozhou, the godfather built the Prince of Yue's Mansion in Raozhou, which made it more popular.
Su Qingyao also knew that there was a silver mine on Tiantai, but the specific location was unknown.
If Godfather Faguo needed it, she would lead someone to find it.
In addition to the people led by Su Qingyu, Ma Mingwen also arranged for eight people to follow. This time Xiaodouzi, Zhang Yong, and Huabao came again.
The land of Yue is now at peace. The king of Yue is recuperating and recuperating. He does not lead his troops to fight for territory everywhere, but only quietly develops internal affairs.
Xiaodouzi and others went out with Su Qingyu and got to know each other well.
There is nothing that needs them around the King of Yue now, and they also want to go out to relax and gain experience. Then help the people in Vietnam do something.
When Su Qingyu took people to Tiantai Yongjia, Ma Mingwen also wrote a letter to Lu Bocheng and had it delivered.
During this time, Lu Bocheng returned to the location of his army. Every day when he lay down, his eyelids would keep twitching.
Don't know what the reason is.
He couldn't sleep well at night.
One day, with dark circles under his eyes, he asked Gouwa, "Is it the right eye that jumps for joy and the left eye that jumps for disaster?"
Gouwa was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, it seems like the left eye jumps with joy and the right eye jumps with disaster."
"Is it the right eye that's twitching? My right eye keeps twitching. Why?"
"Ah?" Gouwa was stunned at first, then came close to him and stared at him again and again.
Then he waved his hand: "No, I made a mistake. It seems that the left eye jumps to happiness and the right eye jumps to wealth. It's not disaster. Is the general going to get another military expenditure from the King of Jin soon?"
Lu Bocheng rolled his eyes at him: "You think about military expenses every day!"
"How can we not think about it! These ten thousand people and ten thousand horses need to eat and drink. Every day, things from the warehouse are carried everywhere. What if there is no food one day!"
"What can I do? I will go up the mountain with you as a general and become a bandit. What else can I do!"
"Ah, do you really want to stop and rob someone on the road?"
"Otherwise? So many people eat and drink whatever they want. I can't pay them any money. If you follow me, a poor commander, everyone will be wooed."
"No way? Who is going to be won over?"
The morale of the army is now stable, but if there is a shortage of food and his subordinates want to take refuge with others, can Lu Bocheng stop him?
Cutting off someone's money and food is like cutting off a person's life.
He couldn't reach out to stop it. Is there any reason to stop?
So sad.
"General, are you really not interested in the princess named Qionghua? They have set up camp near our camp, sending people to show their hospitality every day, and bringing delicious food to three meals a day..."
"Aren't those delicious meals three times a day filling your stomachs?"
Gou Wa touched his nose. It seemed that he ate the most every day.
But who made him the commander's personal soldier?
You have to take the lead.
Lu Bocheng got a headache again when he mentioned Mu Qionghua.
"What do you think she is doing?"
Upon hearing this, Gouwa looked at him in surprise. When everyone is like this, why do you still ask them? If you really don’t understand, you are still pretending not to understand.
Lu Bocheng was extremely irritated when he saw Gouwa look surprised and open his mouth.
He grabbed a paperweight on the case and threw it at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that!"
Gouwa hurriedly dodged and the paperweight hit the ground with a bang. He leaned over to pick it up, wiped it and put it on the table: "General, commander, brother, this paperweight also costs money to buy. If it is broken, Don’t you feel bad if you have to add money to buy it?”
Lu Bocheng glanced at the paperweight, feeling distressed.
He said: "Why do you want to spend money to buy a paperweight? Find a stone outside, wipe it and wash it. It's clean. Can't use it?"
ah? So stingy?
"Yes, it can be used. Why can't it be used? It's easy to use." Gouwa hurriedly followed his words.
That is, can’t we use stones and still have to spend money on paperweights? waste money. Lu Bocheng looked disgusted and looked at the paperweight again.
Gouwa clicked his tongue several times, and the commander became more and more stingy.
"General, commander, brother, does my sister-in-law know that you are so stingy? I wonder if you have saved one or two taels of gold for my eldest nephew if you are so stingy."
Lu Bocheng was stunned after hearing this.
Looking up, he sighed, "You guys have taken all my money. How can I save any money for my son? As a father, I haven't saved enough money to raise my son. I am a terrible father."
"The King of Yan made so many conditions and asked you to go, but you didn't go. And outside..."
Gou Wa pointed to the outside of the barracks, "The eldest princess is there, waiting for you to come. If you are willing to move over there, are you afraid that my army will be short of money and food?"
Lü Bocheng grabbed the paperweight and raised it, motioning to him fiercely, saying that he was going to throw it.
Gou Wa quickly blocked his face with both hands.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the paperweight coming, so he put down his hand and looked at Lü Bocheng. Seeing that he was just pretending, he smiled at him.
Lu Bocheng looked disgusted: "What are you laughing at! You and them want to sell me for money, right? Why don't you sell yourselves?"
"We are willing to sell, but it depends on whether they want it or not. We are not as valuable as you. Otherwise, Commander, you sacrifice yourself?"
"Sacrifice your ass! I would rather take off this military uniform, go back to the mountains in the south, farm with my wife! Accompany my son to hunt in the mountains every day!"
"Or, just pretend? Pretend to let her think you have taken the bait, just pretend? Look, they send people every day."
Lu Bocheng raised the paperweight again: "If you say that again, get out!"
Gou Wa immediately shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking.
The two were silent in the military tent, but not long after, a female voice came from outside: "Excuse me, is Commander Lu in there?"
