184, Chapter 184

Happy?

Qin Fang was naturally happy, but when he thought about having a child, he couldn't be intimate with his wife, and someone else could be closer to his wife than he was, he felt sour in his heart. When he felt sour in his heart, the child was not so important.

However, he was still rational. If he dared to say so, his mother would definitely not let him go. The rational Qin Fang thought of what happened last night, and he asked Nanny Lian: "What did Doctor Li say? Is Xiangjun in good health? What about the child? Is he okay?"

Nanny Lian, as someone in their courtyard, naturally knew what he was talking about, so she said with a happy face: "General, don't worry, Xiangjun is in good health."

Qin breathed a sigh of relief. If Yanyan and the child were sick because of what happened yesterday, he would blame himself to death. "That's good. I have something important to do now. You go and tell Tongxiangjun to let her have a good rest and not tire herself out." Thinking about it, this was redundant. His wife knew how to combine work and rest better than him.

Mother Qin couldn't stand his nagging, and said in a tone of shooing people away: "Go, go, go, go, go, Yanyan is with me and your grandmother, and Nanny Lian. It's useless for you to be here. Business is important. Go." As she said that, she grabbed the curtain, "Uncle Hong, let's go."

Uncle Hong: "Hey."

Qin Fang watched the carriage go away, thinking about his mother's impatient look, he knew that he had no status. In his mother's eyes, Yanyan is currently the first and grandson is second.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang felt sour again, wondering who was more important to Yanyan, him or the child. Qin Fangxin, who was worried, went to Du Ke and heard Shen Lixian say, "Congratulations to General Qin for the happy event."

Du Ke said, "I'm going to be a father, I have to learn to grow up."

Qin Fang: "..." What's the matter? Why is he not as good as a child in the eyes of others after he becomes a father? Is he born to have children? "Thank you, teacher, thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Lixian smiled and joked, "From the tone of General Qin, he doesn't seem very happy."

Qin Fang said, "No, no, it's just that I was too surprised, and I felt scared instead." He really didn't plan to have children, at least not in the next few years. He asked Doctor Li, and it's not too late for women to have children even if they are 20 years old. So he still wanted to live a quiet life with Yan Yan for two years, and wait until Yan Yan is 20 years old to have children. But who knows, he always holds back and keeps the seeds, and there are still omissions.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang regretted it to death.

Du Ke laughed: "He looks frightened." As for being unhappy, Du Ke didn't believe it. Which man would be unhappy to have a legitimate son? Thinking back to the time when his wife was pregnant, he was so happy that his mind went blank. It doesn't matter whether it's a legitimate son or a legitimate daughter, it's just that with a child, he feels mature and has a heavy responsibility.

Although he is usually very serious and is particularly strict in educating his son, and even rarely spends time with his son except when testing his son's homework, he has great hopes and sustenance for his son's birth, but he is not good at expressing this love.

Qin Fang said: "I was frightened." But then, he also laughed. He was going to be a father, and he would see how Han Zhen, that kid, could still be proud in front of him. Qin Fang began to fantasize that if he had a daughter, she would definitely be as pretty as his wife, like Han Zhen's daughter... He didn't mean to say that the child was not good, anyway, his daughter would definitely be prettier than Han Zhen's daughter.

Shen Lixian looked at Qin Fang's silly smile and couldn't help shaking his head: "It is said that boys look like their mothers and girls look like their fathers. I think it is better for General Qin's family to have boys."

Qin Fang was stunned, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say? Girls look like their fathers?"

Shen Lixian picked up: "Why? Haven't you heard? The old elders in our capital city all say that when my wife was pregnant, she looked forward to having a girl every day because she thought the girl would look like me." Shen Lixian is good-looking and is a famous handsome man in the capital. Compared with Shen Lixian, the deceased Queen Shen looked better, otherwise she would not have been favored by the late emperor and betrothed to the current emperor.

Qin Fang suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue. If the girl looks like her father, and if his daughter looks like him... he would be sorry for his daughter. Although among men, Qin Fang is still very confident about his height and appearance, otherwise why would his wife be so obsessed with his body? He thinks that he is a man, and Han Zhen looks like... like a woman.

However, if a girl looks like him, her penis is too big. He has to admit that a girl looks better like Han Zhen. Qin Fang seemed to see Han Zhen's mocking look, and his whole face turned black. No, for the sake of his daughter, he has to... make himself look better? He remembered the things his wife would stick on her face every day, and after sticking it on, her face was tender and smooth. Qin Fang touched his rough face and shook it. Do you want to try it?

Shen Lixian saw that he looked absent-minded and couldn't help laughing.

The crops in the military camp fields are growing very well. Not only the crops are growing well, but also the pigs, ducks and chickens are growing well.

Before coming to the military camp fields, Du Ke never thought that this place would be like this. Green crops, clucking poultry, and the honest smile of the farm manager.

They went to the fields that Qin's father was in charge of. Qin's father took them to see several crops in the heat, and took them to see the chickens that had laid eggs. He said: "These eggs should be sent to the military camp every few days to nourish the soldiers. Don't look at the fat chickens one by one, they are all fed by the soldiers who come here for shifts. They work hard."

Facing Qin's father, an honest man, Du Ke couldn't help laughing: "That's right, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing. For their own food, they naturally have to work hard. Only for their own food, they will work so hard. I have to say that the military camp land policy is very good. I hope that military camps across the country can implement it as soon as possible. In this way, our Qi country's army will no longer worry about lack of food." Why didn't I think of it before? It's not as practical to send food from other places than to grow food next to the military camp. It can save a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

After hearing this, Qin's father laughed. Although he didn't understand the truth Du Ke said, he knew that this was a good thing.

Shen Lixian also sighed: "It's really good. If Qiguo had discovered this policy earlier, the Qiguo army would not have to worry about food now."

Qin Fang: "It's better to discover it late than not to discover it."

Du Ke: "Indeed, it's better than not to discover it."

After leaving the military camp field, they went to the military camp manor. The managers in the military camp manor are new citizens. There are several of them. Seeing Qin Fang coming, everyone is very enthusiastic.

"General Qin is here."

"General Qin, this time two mares are pregnant. By this time next year, the foals will be born."

Qin Fang was delighted when he heard it.

Du Ke said: "How long does it take for a mare to give birth to a foal?"

Hearing Du Ke's question, the people who spoke looked at him and didn't answer immediately because they didn't know him.

Qin Fang hurriedly said: "This is Lord Du Kedu, the current Minister of War, and also my mentor. After you surrendered, he was the one who came with the emperor's decree to settle you."

When everyone heard this, they immediately saluted and said: "So he is General Qin's teacher."

"Lord Du, it takes more than 300 days for a mare to be pregnant, which is about the same as us, or maybe a few days longer than us, and a mare only has one foal at a time. But the biggest difference is that humans go into heat every month, and horses go into heat from March to July. So the next time you mate, you have to Until next year."

"But when we sell the good sheep and cattle, and buy a few more horses, there will be more horses, and the chances of the mares getting pregnant will be higher."

"That's right."

Du Ke listened to them excitedly talking about horse breeding and future plans for horses, and he was also very interested. He said: "Can you take me to see it?"

The manor manager said: "Of course. But we are just a few rough men here, and we don't have tea. Please forgive us, Lord Du." Although there are only a few rough men and no tea, the inside is clean. People like them who like to raise horses, cattle and sheep are particularly fond of these animals, so they pay great attention to the hygiene here.

Du Ke said: "It's okay, I brought my own tea."

The manager took them to see the horse shed, sheep shed and cow shed.

Du Ke asked: "I heard you say before that the goat milk here is for the soldiers to drink, and then the cows will be raised and sold. Who will they be sold to then?" You must know that cows are the ancestors of the common people. In this dynasty, cows cannot be killed at will, mainly because there are few cows and they are expensive.

The steward said: "The soldiers drink goat milk. This is what the general's wife told us. She said it is good for the body. As for the cows, we sell them to the common people. Some of the common people have already reserved cows from us."

Du Ke laughed when he heard it: "This business is good." He turned his head and looked at Qin Fang, "Only your wife can think of drinking goat milk."

Qin Fang said: "She cares about everyone's health. When she was at the border before, she bought a shop and sheep. She used goat milk to make cakes, and the extra goat milk was distributed to the servants. Everyone drank it for more than a year and their health was very good. So after arriving here, she proposed to raise sheep here and give goat milk to the soldiers."

Du Ke said: "She is a good person."

After visiting the manor, they visited other people and inquired about the "specialties" and skills of each race. Du Ke wrote these down while listening, and sorted them out, and he would send them to the emperor.

Qin Fang looked at Du Ke and thought to himself that he should also carry paper and pen with him in the future so that he could write down important things he heard. He would forget them later if he kept them in his mind, but he would not forget them if he wrote them down in a notebook.
