Chapter 896 Chapter 896, ready to fight
Commanders, although Wei Hongcai knew that Xiao Yeyang would not easily hand over high-yield grains, he was still very angry after seeing his letter of rejection.
"This Xiao Yeyang doesn't put people in his eyes too much! Sir, we can't do that."
Wei Hong only glanced at the talking official: "Then what do you think should be done?"
Speaking, the official choked, the person standing behind Xiao Yeyang was the emperor, and they really couldn't force it.
Wei Hongcai did not expect the officials to come up with any good way to come. He looked at Master Xu, "Master Xu, what do you think?"
Master Xu was silent for a while before he replied: "My lord, Master Xiao has a good reason for refusal. Let's wait."
Wei Hongcai condensed his eyebrows: “How long will it take? Is it possible to wait until the people in Ganzhouwei plant high-yielding grain seeds before other health centers can follow them?”
Master Xu bowed his head and said nothing.
The high-yield grains were brought by Xiao Yeyang, so naturally it was Xiao Yeyang who had the final say on how to distribute it.
Wei Hongcai waved away annoyedly. After Master Xu retired, he left the command and envoy of the capital and went straight to the largest teahouse in Liangdu.
"I thought you would be out of business today?"
Wang Qi smiled and stood up and took a seat to meet Master Xu.
Master Xu smiled and said: "It's rare that you came to Liangdu and you asked me again. How could I not come?"
After the two sat down, they drank a cup of tea before they began to talk about their own situation. As they talked, they talked about the high-yield grains of Ganzhouwei.
Wang Qi: "The corn and potatoes that Xiao Yeyang brought are really high-yielding. I mentioned to you that the tribe had a chance to have a contact with Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao gave some grain seeds. This year, I don’t have to worry about the tribe’s hunger anymore. Belly."
After hearing this, Master Xu looked a little surprised: "You have said so, it seems that the high-yield grains are indeed suitable for promotion in Xiliang."
Wang Qi nodded: “As long as corn and potatoes can be promoted in Xiliang, the people of Xiliang will be able to end their hungry.”
Master Xu was overjoyed when he heard it, and then he sighed: "Before Master Wei wrote to Xiao Yeyang to ask for high-yield grains, I didn't help me with any ideas. It seems that after I go back, I have to think about how to promote high-yield grains. Come on."
Wang Qi: "It's not that Xiao Yeyang doesn't want to promote high-yield grains. I think he wants to use high-yield grains to achieve certain goals."
"Not long ago, Lan Wuwei and Jin Weiwei both received a batch of high-yield grains. As far as I know, they should have reached a deal with Xiao Yeyang."
Master Xu frowned, "You mean to let me leave it alone?"
Wang Qi nodded: "Through my inquiries and observations during this period of time, everything that Xiao Yeyang did when he came to Xiliang is beneficial to the people of Xiliang. This may not be in the interests of the Wei family. You can help take it. When it comes to high-yield grains, it is estimated that they will only be planted in military fields. If the people are concerned, they will not care."
Master Xu stopped talking. He knew Wei Hongcai better than Wang Qi.
Wei Hong just wanted to squeeze Xiao Yeyang away. This idea has never been interrupted, but now he just didn't find a chance.
Master Xu looked at Wang Qi: "You protect Xiao Yeyang everywhere, do you want to go there?"
Wang Qi smiled without denying it.
Master Xu sighed, "In fact, this is fine. Due to geographical reasons, the people of Xiliang have been living hard. In recent years, the people of Xiliao have become more and more excessive. If Xiao Yeyang can really change the status quo, it is me and willing. Serving."
Wang Qi looked at the pedestrians who took him: "Let’s wait and see."
...
At the beginning of September, when the textile factory was built, Xiao Yeyang called Li Chenzhi to the study, and gave him a drawing with a cap and a military coat drawn on it.
"Before winter, make as many hats and uniforms as possible. I will send all the cotton collected from the health station to the textile factory."
Li Chenzhi knew that these were clothes for the frontier army, so he carefully collected the drawings, and solemnly said: "After I go back, I will immediately hire people to rush to work."
The Li family also has its own textile factory in Zhongzhou. Li Chenzhi is very familiar with this aspect, but within three days of work, hundreds of nearby women have been recruited to start processing cotton and make military coats and caps.
In mid-September, Li Xingnian and Qin Xiaoliu once again escorted a large number of supplies to Ganzhou City.
The several shops bought by the Li family in Ganzhouwei have long been set up, and they can be sold as soon as the materials arrive.
Li Xingnian knew that Li Chenzhi was busy with the textile factory, so he took the steward and opened the shop.
On the Xiao Mansion side, Daohua is also watching the materials storage.
When Ganzhouwei entered September, the weather started to get cold. Daohua knew how difficult it was to drive on ice and snow last year, so she told Qin Xiaoliu to send the materials he needed to avoid the people underneath. Suffer.
Time slipped away a little bit, and in October, snow began to fall on Ganzhouwei's side.
Ganwei Town, when Wang Wu and the soldiers had just finished training from the playground, they heard a rush of horse hoofs, and after a while, they saw a group of cavalry entering the city gate.
Looking at the cavalry in uniform wearing military coats and hoods, Wang Wu and others looked envious.
"The clothes and hats are warm at first glance. If only we could have them too."
"I heard the guerrilla general said, we also have it, but it's not done yet, so I'll send it to us when it's done."
"It's better for the cavalry. They use any good things first. See if you see, the sabers on them are all new."
"I want to be a cavalry too."
"Come on, the cavalry are all selected by Master Xiao personally. I heard that the requirements are particularly high. Not only do they need to be physically strong, they also need some effort."
Wang Wu listened to the crowd and squeezed to the captain's side: "Captain, Master Xiao is here again today. Has he come too often during this time?"
Captain: "Winter is a period of high incidence of Xiliao invasions, and Master Xiao patrols are naturally frequent."
Wang Wu: "But during this period of time even our training has become frequent." He said, lowering his voice, "Captain, are we going to fight?"
The captain squinted Wang Wu: “Don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask. All you have to do is to train well. It’s really going to fight and you can survive from the hands of the Xiliao people.”
Wang Wu's heart bulged, is he really about to fight?
At the end of October, more than 20 carriages carrying military uniforms and caps drove into Ganwei Town.
Wang Wu got the new clothes and put them on immediately: "This new cotton coat is warm."
A few days after the new clothes were released, Wang Wu found that the food had improved. The meat could only be eaten once in seven days, but now it can be eaten once in two or three days.
This gave him a bad feeling.
Sure enough, two days later, the captain came to the barracks with a heavy face and told everyone an explosive news.
"The cavalry found that there was a large-scale Xiliao people infestation in the direction of Yunlian Mountain. Everyone has been prepared for battle recently. As soon as there is an order from the top, we have to reinforce quickly."
Hearing this, everyone tensed up.
