Li Zhifeng naturally followed his wishes and said, "Go, you choose the place."
You Miao think about it, go to Yangzhou City? Jiangcheng House? Forget it, as soon as I go out and enter the market, I can’t help but want to spend money. I don’t have much money left. With so many people to support, I have to eat twenty taels of silver for several months.
"Forget it." You Miao lacked taste: "Zhao Chao doesn't know how he is doing."
Zhao Chao has been silent since he went to Korea to fight in the spring. He learned from the peasants who came to defect to Youmiao that the current situation in the north is becoming more and more unstable year by year, and even the most basic life cannot be guaranteed. In a few days, there may be more people who will drag their families and their families and escape to Jiangnan.
When there is nothing to do during the day, he can't sleep at night. You Miao is quite envious of those who do physical work, eat a lot and sleep soundly. Now that summer comes, he has no appetite.
Li Zhifeng said, "I'll teach you archery."
You Miao was about to find something to do, and she readily agreed, called a group of servants, stood at 5:6, lined up, and followed Li Zhifeng in front of the target to learn archery.
Li Zhifeng's archery is like a hundred steps to pierce Yang, and his skills are amazing. He shoots forehand, backhand, running, and even riding on a horse. In the afternoon, practice riding and archery with Li Zhifeng.
Days passed, and the rapeseed flowers in the villa were all grown. You Miao personally designed a bamboo oil extraction mill. The rapeseed oil was piled up in jars. Qiao Jue took it to Yangzhou, Liuzhou and Suzhou. One trip, I came down and made a net profit of three hundred and thirty-five taels of silver. And the honey is still piled up in the cellar. You Miao went for a fraction of the wages, and the rest of the profits were added to Qiao Jue as 51 cents. After harvesting the rapeseed, the land was still fertile, so You Miao listened to the words of several old farmers and turned over the hundreds of acres of rapeseed flower fields to plant peanuts.
However, this money cannot be spent. To build a granary, to buy a mill, to buy a threshing screen, and to feed the thousands of people until the harvest day in August.
You Miao restrained her playfulness, and studied and learned martial arts in a disciplined manner. She had learned a little bit when she was in the capital, and now she is studying in the villa every day, and she barely gets into it. In the early summer, the whole Jiangnan became hot, but fortunately there was a river breeze when Shenyuan was by the river, and the garden was full of ancient trees for hundreds of years, making it a great summer resort. When the weather was too hot, You Miao moved to the bamboo forest to sit and read.
Zhao Chao sent another letter, which was the only letter in four months, with only a few lines above, telling You Miao that he was fighting in Goryeo, and the battle was dangerous and more difficult than he imagined.
You Miao looked at the words written on it, where hundreds of people were damaged, where they were ambushed, and where there was a great victory.
"Huyan Mar Mountain is the dividing line between the Koryo people and the original wolf people." Li Zhifeng said this, and roughly drew a topographic map on the paper, and You Miao said, "Are you guys still there now?"
Li Zhifeng said: "When I was in the clan, I heard that there is a branch that often wanders around Huyan Mar Mountain, and it has gradually grown over the years."
You Miao nodded. After all, Zhao Chao went to war and had something to do with the Quan Rong people, so he handed the letter to him and said, "Hey, take a look?"
Li Zhifeng was silent for a long time after reading the letter.
You Miao said, "Will they win?"
Li Zhifeng didn't answer, got up to the edge of the bamboo forest, beckoned You Miao to come over, used bamboo branches to draw two mountains and a river on the ground, and said, "They are lying in the middle of Huyanmaer Mountain. After they come out, there is a large wetland. Come, the wetlands will turn into swamps and marching will be difficult."
You Miao bowed to the side and looked at it seriously, Li Zhifeng said, "The environment Zhao Chao encountered was actually very dangerous, but he didn't say it clearly in the letter. As soon as the supply line was stretched, when the autumn came, the whole army had better hurry up. Make a quick decision, or if it drags on into the winter, I'm afraid the entire army will be there."
You Miao murmured, "So dangerous?"
Li Zhifeng threw the bamboo branch and said casually: "King Gaoli is seventy-three years old this year, let's see if he decides to go to the army in person."
You Miao looked up at Li Zhifeng and asked, "What will happen if you go to the army in person?"
Li Zhifeng looked at You Miao earnestly and replied, "If Zhao Chao was to go to war in person, he would definitely be defeated, and the dynasty had taken Koryo's fighting force lightly. Although Koryo was only a small country, their king had fought against the Wusun clan forty-two years ago. Qijie, and finally drove the Wusun people out of their territory. Otherwise, with the fighting strength of the Quanrong clan, why would they have been in a stalemate with the Goryeo people for so long?"
You Miao nodded, thinking about how to reply to Zhao Chao's letter, but he knew very little about the art of war, and he couldn't infer the fighting method based on Zhao Chao's few words. What should Zhao Chao do to win?"
"If you want to win, you must first not delay." Li Zhifeng was washing the teacup, and You Miao leaned over the desk and looked sideways at him.
Li Zhifeng pondered for a long time, and finally said: "The longer it drags on, the bigger the variables will be. If the battle line is stretched too long, it is easy for the Koryo people and the Quanrong people to take advantage of it to rob food and grass. When winter comes, people will freeze to death again. If he drags on his military pay, he will only be defeated."
You Miao said, "What if you were Zhao Chao?"
Li Zhifeng: "If it's me, I will join forces with Quanrong and march into Goryeo. The enemy of the enemy is the friend."
"Yeah." You Miao said, "Anyway, the Tianqi Dynasty just wanted to submit to Gao Li, not to make trouble at the border."
Li Zhifeng was noncommittal, and finally said: "The leader of the Quanrong East Mountain Department is named Sha Yeduo, and he is very filial to his mother. His mother is the only woman who follows the Quanrong tribe, and she is also very scheming. If Zhao Chao can get through this Guan, recognize her as a godmother, maybe it will relieve the predicament of your Han army."
You Miao said, "How could he recognize someone else as a godmother?"
Li Zhifeng said: "The rules of the dog and the Han are different, because they are not with their mothers after birth, so men will let their sons recognize one thing as a mother, some recognize mountains and rivers as mothers, and some recognize Xuelang as mothers , take a lottery that is not easy to die."
You Miao wrote these words from Li Zhifeng into a letter and replied to Zhao Chao on the battlefield thousands of miles away.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so hot that Youmiao doesn't want to go out. He only goes to see the fields in the evening. In June, the tenants were planting late rice seedlings. Youmiao went to inspect once, and was a little worried about the early rice harvest. Tell him that the field is good, and the weather is good in the first half of the year, and the harvest is not bad.
You Miao combined with what was said in the book, and carefully looked at the ears of rice. It was different from the previous expectation of 300 catties per season and 900 catties per year, but the yield per mu should not be a problem. Even if you don't make much money, you should Also enough to eat. At the beginning of June, he went to Yangzhou Prefecture for a trip, and scholars were saying that this year's township examination was brought forward to June, and You Miao had to pack up his books and read for a few more days before going to take the township examination.
