Chapter 744 Uncle Understands Me
Yan Xiangheng and Cheng Lezhou entered the city before the Huju City Gate was closed.
Entered the government office, met Yan Huaiwen, and had dinner together. Everything was normal until then.
When did the situation start to change?
Yes, it started with the chat after dinner.
Yan Xiangheng and Cheng Lezhou went on a long journey this time, to Longxing and Fengming.
They saw the vast north, the snow-capped peaks towering into the clouds, and the glaciers everywhere, which were inseparable from the land.
The people living on this land lived a difficult and dutiful life.
They feared natural disasters, but did not resent them. The King of England sent people to provide relief and help them rebuild their homes. After receiving this favor, they seemed to remember it for a lifetime.
Yan Xiangheng and Cheng Lezhou both had insights on this trip. The customs and customs of Guanzhou were no longer limited to the rules of words, but slowly passed through their eyes and hearts like a painting.
Yan Huaiwen only said a few words, and the two of them were talking about sex.
He guided the topic inconspicuously, nodding or giving a look of approval at the right time.
The topic moved from the scenery to the people, starting with the cold disaster, talking about post-disaster reconstruction, combining local realities, and thinking deeply about ways to improve people's lives.
The two talked from after dinner to nightfall, and the rotating book boy in Xiaoan Village added some tea for them from time to time...
Yan Yu came, and the conversation finally stopped.
Yan Huaiwen then brought the teacup.
Cheng Lezhou calmed down and retreated with Yan Xiangheng.
The two walked out of the house.
Yan Xiangheng couldn't help but hit him lightly.
"It's all because of you. Uncle and aunt wrote letters to scold me, and my father didn't look at me straight when he came back. Even the second son spoke righteously about my brother." Yan Xiangheng complained in a low voice.
I should not have been unable to bear the pleading to bring the letter for him.
Cheng Lezhou hurriedly said: "It's all my fault. I won't dare to do it again..."
Yan Yu opened the door and watched the two walk away.
She turned back and said to her uncle with a smile: "Brother, take Brother Cheng to rest."
Yan Yu didn't know whether her uncle knew that Brother Cheng wrote a letter to her elder sister, but no matter what, she had to pretend that she didn't know.
"Why are you here so quickly?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
"Uncle, when will we attack Xizhou?" Yan Yu asked without any nonsense.
She took off her shoes and went to the kang, took off the bag behind her and opened it.
She took out four exquisite snacks from it and placed them on the kang table.
Yan Huaiwen looked at it and asked: "Is the young master not leaving yet?"
"He will probably go back with my uncle. Eunuch Li is going back to the capital, and my uncle will definitely send him off. There should be a lot of things to do."
After this vacation, it is uncertain when her uncle will have a vacation next time.
"Uncle, you haven't answered my question yet." Yan Yu was very persistent.
Yan Huaiwen picked up a piece of snack, dipped it in tea, and chewed it slowly.
Yan Yu was anxious, but she still went outside to scoop water again, put the teapot on the fire, and skillfully hooked the coal balls in the furnace.
"There are ginger slices in the cabinet over there, take some and soak them in water." Yan Huaiwen ordered.
No matter how warm it is during the day, the night in the north is still cold.
Yan Yu did it obediently.
"Just for this, you came so late?" Yan Huaiwen asked her with a faint smile.
"Uncle, why did you keep the people without saying anything? What should we do in our village..." Yan Yu pouted and said aggrievedly.
Yan Huaiwen: "I know you are a little kid who talks about other things. What does it have to do with you when the battle will be held in Xizhou? It is worth your rush in the middle of the night because your father did not bring those craftsmen back to the village as you wished."
"Since uncle knew, why did he keep people? Uncle also nodded to build a high wall and dig a tunnel for the village."
Regarding the construction of the village, the Yan family and even every household in the village attach great importance to it.
From the day the blueprint came out, the villagers looked forward to it every day.
Who doesn't want to live in the high walls that give you a sense of security at first glance?
Many men in Xiaoan Village followed Yan Laoer to join the army. Why did they fight on the battlefield and kill enemies?
It was for their families to live a good life.
Only with a stable rear area can people feel at ease and feel more at ease when fighting on the battlefield.
Yan Yu didn't think she could sweep away thousands of troops just because she was strong.
But if she was given a solid base, she would have the confidence to survive when danger came.
Yan Huaiwen said slowly: "In addition to high walls and tunnels, you also need to make swords and weapons, helmets and shields. Battering rams and ladders are useless to you, but you also want to imitate catapults, right?"
Yan Yu blinked and immediately put away her pitiful appearance just now.
She smiled with a bit of embarrassment and obedience.
The catapult is still secondary. She is more optimistic about the eight-ox crossbow. How powerful that thing is!
If there is no opportunity to create an opportunity, she will also make it!
"Let me think about it. The knife is waste material and takes a long time to forge. Well, the gun is easy to use and easy to practice. There may not be much wood for the gun barrel. Ordinary wood will break if it is a little bit stronger. The King of Qi is generous with money. There are a lot of good woods in that workshop. It is very rare. It is just right to use it to polish the gun barrel." Yan Huaiwen calmly expressed his niece's thoughts: "Therefore, blacksmiths and carpenters are urgently needed."
"When the guns of 5,000 new soldiers are prepared, the people are almost trained. It is easy at first and difficult later. After the experience on the battlefield, the so-called Yan family army gradually takes shape."
Yan Yu's mouth opened into an O shape.
On the surface, he was silent, but in his heart he was clapping for his uncle crazily.
Uncle understands me!
"It is really not easy for Xiaoer to be this Yan Xiaojiangjun. You have to plan from the beginning and think a lot." Yan Huaiwen sighed softly: "These things should be planned for you by me and other elders."
He reached out and touched the child's head.
Among the children in the family, the second child is the smartest, and because of this intelligence, he has to bear more responsibilities.
"Your father has no regrets to have such a son."
Yan Yu was overjoyed!
There was a little person in her heart who was so happy that he was scattering flowers and spinning in circles.
She really thought that she should let her father come to listen.
But it's okay. If she can't hear it now, she will go back and teach her father. Well, learn it several times and make sure her father remembers it firmly.
What's wrong with the uncle's concise words and the ungrounded words and sentences? It's really, really, so nice to hear!
She naturally leaned over and touched her uncle's shoulder with her chubby little hand.
"Uncle, you must be tired from working at your desk every day, right? I'll give you a massage. It'll hurt a little bit, a little sore, right? Bear with it, it'll be relieved after it passes!" After the servile shoulder massage, Yan Yu said in a cheerful and dependent voice: "Uncle, I'm still young, I don't understand a lot, those are just nonsense, hammering here and hoeing there, without any rules, you can help me with some ideas, for example, the Yan family army, I didn't have this idea before, but when I heard them shouting, I thought it was pretty good, hehe!"
Yan Huaiwen: "General Yan, be gentler."
Yan Yu reduced his strength a little and asked anxiously: "How is uncle?"
"Not bad." Yan Huaiwen said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
