Chapter 332 Going Home
For the first time in many years, the Wei army won a beautiful victory in the battle with the Western Hu people, and used the real record to tell all the people in Chenzhou that they were no longer the same. However, this time the Western Hu people's breakthrough still caused unimaginable harm to the people, especially those villages that were brutally massacred by them.
The most chilling thing is that, except for Datong County and the three border counties, the county governments of the other counties not only did not resettle the surviving villagers, but actually ignored them, and even the bodies were collected by the people themselves.
After learning about this, Wei Chengyi was furious and sent Yan Junling to personally appease the people. He moved the surviving women to Datong County and settled them in various villages according to their wishes. He also gave them arable land and homesteads for free. The local village chief also enthusiastically led the strong laborers in the village to help them build houses.
On the other side, Yan Lang and others, in the name of the suffering people, were preparing to eliminate the corrupt officials in the government office and some county offices. Everyone was busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner. Shen Xiangwan and his wife, along with Mu Yunran and twenty medical boys, returned to Yong'an Village under the escort of the guards.
"Is Wanwan back?"
Not long after several carriages entered the village, Zhao Dashan's uncertain question was heard outside, and the carriages stopped. Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting in the first carriage with Wei Chengyi, lifted the curtain and said, "I'm back. Uncle Zhao, what are you going to do?"
"It's really you."
Seeing her, Zhao Dashan put down the dung bucket on his shoulder and walked quickly to the carriage: "What else can I do? Aren't there potatoes and corn planted in the fields? I'll go water them. I'm free anyway."
"Have you finished your work in the workshop?"
Shen Xiangwan was not surprised. Even if the pigs were killed, there should be a lot of things to do, right? How could he be free only to water the plants?
"Well, we've finished the work a long time ago. Even the remaining sausages and bacon have been sold out."
Speaking of this, Zhao Dashan smiled so much that his mouth almost stretched to his ears: "We have already distributed the money two days ago. This time every household has made money. I heard that after the spring plowing, many people are going to build new houses, just like you, all with blue bricks and tiles."
Although they did not allow other villagers to join the pork processing workshop, they bought the pigs raised by the villagers and paid a high price. A live pig was ten cents per pound. Every household in the village raised at least twenty or thirty pigs, and many had more than fifty. Each pig was worth at least two taels of silver. It could be said that everyone made a lot of money. Together with the money they earned from working for the Wei family last year, it was more than enough to build a new house.
"So fast?"
If she was just surprised before, she was shocked now. How could the sausages and bacon made from thousands of pigs be sold out so easily?
"Thank you so much for that."
Seeing what she was shocked about, Zhao Dashan continued, "During the New Year, the Western Hu people came to the border, and we thought that our sausages and bacon would not be sold for the time being. Seeing this, Manager Cheng introduced us to several caravan leaders, and they bought all our remaining sausages and bacon for 45 cents."
At that time, they still had a lot of pigs to slaughter. In order to deliver the goods as soon as possible, they hired villagers to help. They didn't finish until the end of the month. On February 2, they started spring ploughing without stopping. Just a few days ago, after they finished their work, he started to share the money with the second and third sons.
"Really? Congratulations to you guys."
After hearing this, Shen Xiangwan finally understood the reason. If it was a caravan, it would not be surprising.
"You must be very busy now since you just came back. Go home quickly and I won't disturb you."
"Okay, let's go back first."
"it is good."
After the two said goodbye to each other, the carriage started moving again. Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a smile on her face. When the villagers built their new houses, Yong'an Village would be greatly changed. To be honest, she felt quite accomplished. In the future, she would work hard with Cheng Yi to make all the people in the world like Yong'an Village and create a prosperous and powerful dynasty.
"What are you thinking about?"
Pulling her hand, Wei Chengyi asked softly. Anyone could feel that she was in a good mood.
"Think about how to create a prosperous dynasty."
Turning around and giving him a bright smile, Shen Xiangwan said this half-jokingly and half-seriously, and winked at him mischievously.
"Together we will."
Moving his fingers and clasping them tightly with hers, Wei Chengyi said firmly that even though they had not yet completely taken over Chenzhou, it would not prevent him and his wife from setting goals to strive for.
"Ah."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan leaned softly into his arms. They would definitely lead the people to live a good life, at least a hundred times or a thousand times better than now.
"Second Master, Madam, we are here."
The slowly moving carriage gradually stopped, and the guards' voices rang out respectfully. Wei Chengyi jumped off the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to the carriage. Shen Xiangwan's fair and tender hand gently rested on his hand, allowing him to hold her down. "Ahh..."
"Chengyi, Wanwan."
"Thank God, you finally came back safely."
At the same time, a white shadow flashed by, and the wolf cub, who had grown a lot, rushed to them and howled non-stop. Soon after, Zhao Yuping and others also ran out one after another. In a blink of an eye, they had been away from home for more than a month. The battlefield was full of swords and knives, and even though they knew that they had extraordinary abilities, they still couldn't help but worry, fearing that they would encounter unexpected events.
"Mom, we are back."
After patting Xiaobai's head to comfort him, Shen Xiangwan left Wei Chengyi and walked forward to hug Zhao Yuping warmly with open arms.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
The tears in her eyes suddenly rolled down and Zhao Yuping choked up.
"Aunt, I'm back too."
Mu Yunran, who got off another carriage, stepped forward at the right time. Shen Xiangwan handed Zhao Yuping to her and turned to Wei Linger, whose eyes were also red. "Yunran and I are not at home. Can you help us look after the workshop?"
"Second sister-in-law."
Wei Linger couldn't hold it in any longer and threw herself into her arms and cried. Shen Xiangwan quickly hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, we're all back safely, aren't we?"
"You are finally back..."
God knows how worried she is about them. Since they left, the most thing she does every day is to find Yuan Xiu to inquire about their news.
"That's enough. You're already a 14-year-old girl. It won't be pretty if you cry any more."
Pushing her away slightly, Shen Xiangwan took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. This girl must be really worried.
"Well... I can do it myself..."
Obviously a little embarrassed, Wei Ling'er took the handkerchief and wiped it herself. Shen Xiangwan shook his head with amusement, and turned to Yun Mengyi and Yue Ruyan: "Master's wife, Ruyan, I made you worry."
"I'm glad you're back safely. It's freezing outside. Let's go inside first."
Nodding, Yun Mengyi, who was already six months pregnant, seemed calm, but in fact she could not hide her excitement. The old man had told her about the situation on the battlefield when he came back. Whether it was Cheng Yi or Wan Wan, they had done a good job and the people would be grateful to them.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Looking at her, Yue Ruyan said sincerely that after they left, Aunt Yun told her about the Wei family, and told her bluntly that they planned to overthrow the Li royal family. It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked, but she had already had many guesses in her mind, so she didn't feel surprised. When she heard the good news from the battlefield again and again, she felt from the bottom of her heart that they would definitely do better than the Li royal family in the future, and she didn't care at all whether she would be implicated if they failed.
"Should I say it's not hard?"
After Shen Xiangwan finished speaking mischievously, the two smiled at each other. Some things did not need to be made clear, as long as they knew it in each other's hearts.
"Ling'er, Ruyan, you go in with mother and master's wife first, we will follow soon."
After that, Shen Xiangwan strode towards the medical children who had automatically lined up and said, "You have done a great job this time, and I believe you have gained a lot. Go back and sort it out. Those are valuable experiences that will be of great help to your medical skills."
"Yes, ma'am."
Twenty people bowed at the same time. At the beginning, all of them could be said to be forced to do it, but as Madam often said, after actually doing it, they quickly got used to it. Now, in terms of surgery alone, they think they are no worse than the military doctors in the army. However, they still want to learn more. In the future, they will definitely surpass the military doctors in all aspects and become truly useful to Madam and others.
"It's all gone."
Waving her hand, Shen Xiangwan returned to Wei Chengyi and held his fingers tightly without any hesitation.
