Skillful Wife of Military - C45

As the saying goes, “Every family has its share of problems”.

His father, brother, and four other people were ranked third, the older one was already gone, and since he was the boss, his family had only been given thirty acres of land. It was not even a good piece of land, and there were even more children living in each house.

Even if he served them wholeheartedly, it would still be difficult for him to raise nearly thirty people from a family. If not for this, Gou Sheng would not risk his life to enter the vanguard camp, because the vanguard camp had a high salary. He wanted to earn more silver so that his mother and siblings would not starve.

But unexpectedly, while he was fighting desperately, his uncle did not treat his family well. After hearing some rumors and thinking that he had died on the battlefield, he actually wanted to sell his sister to someone else as a child’s wife for money.

Fortunately, Gou Sheng was the same as Xiao Da Yong; he quickly returned home after the battle, so as to not let his sister be sold, but Gou Sheng did not dare to let his mother and siblings stay with his family anymore. Taking advantage of the war to reward them with silver, he thought that he should just go with the family to the Kepin.

After hearing what Gou Sheng said, Xu Hui and Xiao Da Yong couldn’t help but look at each other. They finally understood where Gou Sheng’s jealousy came from.

Xu Hui thought for a while and asked: “Brother Gou Sheng, you guys left from home after a while?”

If it was today, according to Gou Sheng, his house would be quite far away from here.

Gou Sheng laughed and said, “Don’t be afraid of sister-in-law’s jokes, we left yesterday. We don’t dare to stay at home any longer, staying for one more day will make us uneasy!”

Xu Hui could not help but ask, “Then what do you do tonight?”

No wonder the whole family would feel chilled to the core. Xu Hui frowned, it was okay with adults, but there were still two children who, according to Gou Sheng’s method, wanted to make it to Kepin safely. She felt that it was a bit suspenseful.

Xiao Da Yong’s expression became serious and patted Gou Sheng’s shoulder: “Gou Sheng, I understand your concerns, but in Kepin, how does your mother and your sister-in-law live their lives?”

Xiao Da Yong sighed and said: “Although Kepin is a thousand year old household, it has been taken over by the barbarians since ten years ago, and we have not been able to fight them back, it is because taking back Kepin is of no use, if the Kepin is not a meadow, or a depression, we can’t grow any crops, and we can’t let the barbarians get rid of us, it wouldn’t be of much use. If it weren’t for command being so ruthless as to chase the barbarians out of our area, and let them know that they won’t dare to come back in the future, they wouldn’t waste so much effort to take Kepin down!”

“At the very least, this is a Thousand House. Could it be that there’s nothing here?”

“There are some houses in Kepin City that were built during the construction of the Guest House. When the barbarians retreated, they pretty much burnt everything that they could not take away. If it were not for the two thousand garrison troops, it would be about the same as an empty city …”

Xu Hui could not help but frown. So it turned out that the Kepin’s Thousand Clans was an empty city that could not grow any food, and was also almost destroyed. No wonder Xiao Da Yong did not agree with Gou Sheng’s decision even though he knew about Gou Sheng’s family’s situation.

Didn’t they say there were two thousand garrison troops? Those two thousand people have to have somewhere to live and eat, huh?

Hearing Xu Hui’s question, Xiao Dazong said, “The garrison troops are at the garrison near the Kepin. The houses have food and grass, and the soldiers can withstand the cold.

“What about you? After the new year is over, will you guys go to the Kepin or return to the armored guards? ”

Xu Hui could not help but frown. It was only today that he realized that although Xiao Dazong had always been obedient to her in the family, he did not realize that the outside world might still be influenced by her deep-rooted belief that it was a man’s business. Women only had to look after their family.

However, this was definitely not a good thing for Xu Hui. The main reason why men did not want to talk to women about external affairs was because they did not understand him.

Just like the women here, if there were outsiders, they would not come to the table to eat, and if there were any major decisions in the family, they would rarely discuss with the women, which reflected their status as women. But most of the women here were already used to it, they didn’t have any intentions of getting involved with other men’s affairs, just like Gou Sheng’s mother.

However, Xu Hui was not a woman from start to finish. She could not be like the ancient women who “followed a husband from home, his husband died while his son died”, and she could not be completely ignorant of the outside world. She had to rely on men to live her life, and she had to have a clear understanding of the outside world.

Xu Hui overlooked this point. Today, when she thought about it, Xiao Dayong and he rarely talked about this with him. It seemed that he needed to find a way to let Xiao Dayong know that his wife was not only a steward, but could also advise him. Only he realized that he had the ability. This ability was helpful to him. According to Xiao Dazong’s personality, he would definitely listen to him.

Now, he needed to know how Xiao Da Yong had decided.

Seeing that Xu Hui, Gou Sheng and the rest were all looking at him, Xiao Dayong said, “I will stay in the armored guards!” Although he really wanted to go to the Kepin, but with her family, especially with the current situation, he couldn’t rest at ease if her wife was too far away.

Gou Sheng became anxious: “Dahuang-ge, you, Brother Chang has risen to a hundred, if you want to stay in Kepin, why not take charge. Everyone in vanguard camp is staying in Kepin, why are you going to return to the Iron Armor Guard alone?”

“Brother Gou Sheng, what do you mean by this?” Xu Hui interrupted. Could Xiao Da Yong be promoted to Kepin?

“Sister-in-law, you didn’t know, the Dahuang-ge did a great job, we ambushed and cut off the barbarian’s grain team, then during the chase, we intercepted a barbarian messenger.” Sister-in-law, you don’t know, the Dahuang-ge did a great job, we ambushed and intercepted a barbarian messenger, then the Dahuang-ge read and understood the contents of the letter, that’s why we found the Barbarian commander’s camp.

“What are you talking about? Brother Chang is the leader, if it wasn’t for him leading us, we wouldn’t have been able to win the battle and obtain the silver! ”

Dahuang-ge is right, Brother Chang is powerful, and so is the Dahuang-ge. Now that Brother Chang has been promoted to Senior Qian Hu, if you go to Kepin, the Master Flag will definitely be yours, and we can still be together, how nice would that be?

“Enough, there is nothing in the Kepin’s Thousand Clubs other than garrisoning troops. How can there be a Master Flag’s Flag? If there is food, it can’t even stop your mouth from eating. Hurry up and eat, it’ll get cold later;”

Gou Sheng wanted to say something, but seeing that Xiao Da Yong did not want to say it anymore, he could only lower his head and eat. Xu Hui looked at Xiao Da Yong. Could it be that because the Kepin was too far away, he was afraid that he and Niu Niu would be bullied at home?

Xu Hui thought about the information she had obtained and felt that although the Kepin’s conditions were not good, there was still a lot of room for development. They were talking about Water Pits and Grassland Wetlands, which were probably the same as the swamps now. The ancient people thought that the marshlands were not good, but there were too many examples of wetlands being renovated in the modern era.

Moreover, a thousand households had just experienced a war and were ready to go all out. The places it could vacate were simply too numerous. It was unlike such a mature place where a carrot was a pit. It was too difficult to survive!

Especially since the head of the Kepin’s Qian Hu Institute was Xiao Da Yong’s old boss, and the 100 men were old brothers. If Xiao Da Yong went to the Kepin, his promotion would be guaranteed.

It was possible that the lack of water in the north lacked experience in this aspect. If they could introduce Xu Jingyao to the Commander Lin, no, the Lin Qianhu was the one who found a way to change the swamp in the Kepin, then the Kepin would not be the Kepin now.

Was there even a possibility for transforming a barren land into a flat plain with thousands of acres of fertile land, attracting the participation of outsiders, vigorously developing agriculture and animal husbandry, and building a large scale farmer-like Guest House?

Xu Hui could not help but get excited. She pursed her lips and tried to calm herself down no matter how much she tried. She had thought of a good side to her, but she had never seen the Kepin before. Furthermore, she didn’t know what kind of person the Lin Qianhu was, nor did he have the ability and courage to do such a thing. To do such a thing, if she did not have the support of her superiors, it would be empty words. Then, should she take the risk and think of a way to convince Xiao Da Yong to move her family to Kepin?

If she stayed in the Xiao Jia Village, she could only think of a way to earn more money with her previous plans. However, if she went to the Kepin, there would probably be another way. Maybe it would be like shooting up into the sky, or maybe it would all be for nothing, but the worst case scenario was that she had just arrived in Ming Province.

Xu Hui made a quick decision to go to Kepin and give it a try. She had even started to plan what to do there.

After arriving at the Kepin, if it was feasible, he would have to find a way to meet the Lin Qianhu and see what kind of person he was and whether he was a partner or not. If he could introduce Xu Jingyao and the others to the Lin Qianhu, as long as he had a thousand households, it should be easy to get a few households from other places. After thinking of a way to help the Lin Qianhu gain support from the higher ups, she heard that the Guest House’s population had grown quite quickly in recent years, so the pressure on the Guest House should not be small.

Not only that, when the land transformation was completed, Xu Hui would even want to impart the advanced textile technology of Jiang Prefecture to the Kepin. It would be exciting to establish a new Guest House on a piece of barren land, and if she could do all of this, Xu Hui believed that the Xu family’s military credentials would be taken away, and only then would they be able to live a comfortable life.

Xu Hui suppressed her excitement and looked at Xiao Da Yong. She wanted to go to Kepin, but she could not tell Xiao Da Yong directly.

But first, they had to keep Gou Sheng’s family here. Gou Sheng was an important help in persuading Xiao Da Yong.
