All the people working in the fields, fields, and city walls raised their heads in shock, but then felt that their gazes were too presumptuous, and quickly lowered their heads again.

But they were all shocked in their hearts. The Chu family army who had followed Chu Lixuan for many years and his family were even more shocked.

Wei Dabin stood on the city wall that had not yet been built, watching his father and his wife ordering beans and laughing. Her smile was so dazzling.

He has been following Chu Lixuan for more than seven years, and he has never seen him smile before, even when he won a battle.

Looking at the scene of having fun in the field, Wei Dabin was in a good mood, but not very good. Anyway, he had mixed feelings, and a trace of regret flashed deep in his eyes.

In an instant, he was only happy for his father and his wife. With a smile on his face, he told his men to pay special attention to the quality of their work.

The North Vietnamese Kingdom is temporarily settled, but it is hard to say whether there will be any changes in the future, if the Nanman Kingdom breaks through a city in the Dongchen Kingdom again.

Then, Xichu and North Vietnam will definitely be ready to take advantage of the opportunity to attack and carve up Dongchen together.

Although Master Chu's men are all trained to be elite soldiers and generals, there are not enough of them in the end. No matter how powerful their martial arts are, they cannot withstand the enemy's large numbers.

If there are too many people fighting on wheels, it will drag down the martial arts masters to exhaustion.

Wei Dabin thought that his grandfather, parents, and clan members were all on the way, and he felt full of energy.

The castle they built has an automatic defense function, which can ensure the safety of everyone in the castle no matter how bad it is.

For the people of Dongchen, it depends on whether God will give them a way to survive! They will try their best to protect the people, but they must do so within the scope of their strength.

"You all speed up and build the city wall as soon as possible, so that everyone can live a stable and comfortable life in the future."

"Don't worry! General, we will definitely build the city walls and houses within two months."

"Yes! The Chu Mansion is about to be completed, and the construction of the General's Mansion has also begun. Just rest assured!"

"Our houses will all be built before the rice begins to ear, and then we will harvest the rice together."

The soldiers were chatting enthusiastically about looking forward to the future, but their men were not slow in their actions, because Master Chu had said that they could all contact their families.

As long as they have relatives, they can move here. They have all written letters back, but they just don’t know where their relatives have fled!

During such a busy time, Mr. Chu specially organized two thousand people to go out to find their relatives.

How could they not repay Master Chu well? How could they not work without peace of mind?

Especially the soldiers on the city wall, looking at the potatoes that were about to mature, felt excited in their hearts. Master Chu said that he would dig them out at the end of the month and take them to exchange horses with the North Vietnamese.

This is the first batch of food that they personally opened up wasteland and grew with their own hands!

Happy times always pass so quickly, and amidst everyone’s unknowing busyness, the first batch of potatoes came to maturity.

The first potatoes planted bloomed and bore fruit in February and are now mature, and the potatoes planted all over the mountains and fields later are also blooming.

The flowers are terminal in corymbs and later become lateral. The flowers are white or blue-purple in color. The calyx is bell-shaped, with sparse pubescence on the outside, five lobes, and lanceolate lobes.

The corolla is radial, the ovary is oval, and the stigma is head-shaped. The white mountains and plains are mixed with purple, which is really beautiful.

The soldiers on the city wall saw that the fruits dug out by the soldiers who were digging potatoes were in the shape of stems and lumps.

The shape is oblate, hairless or sparsely pubescent, and the color of the potato skin is white, yellow, pink, red, purple, light yellow, etc.

The children ordered beans for a few days, and then followed Jiang Xinyan to pick potatoes. They picked a handful of potatoes that the adults dug out and put them into the basket one by one.

There are a lot of bamboos on the mountains here, and many baskets have been woven into them during the slack season, which are perfect for holding potatoes.

Jiang Xinyan also taught the children how to divide labor and cooperate. Several children picked potatoes behind the adults.

Then there are some who are dedicated to delivering the baskets, and some who are dedicated to holding the baskets, and they can all take turns to do the work.

Whether adults or children, seeing the mountains of potatoes with the earthy smell, their faces are filled with smiles.

Because they cleared a lot of weeds and tree roots, Jiang Xinyan ordered them to be burned into ashes as fertilizer, so the potato plants produced fuller and more abundant fruits.

"Wow! The potato I picked is super big!" Cheng Xiande shouted loudly.

"You must remember to put the big ones into one basket, the medium ones together, and the smallest ones together."

Jiang Xinyan made arrangements loudly and excitedly. She was the happiest. The people they worked so hard to support finally paid off.

"I know, sister-in-law has said it three times." Chu Lixiang said with a smile.

"You brother Xiang, you actually made fun of me, I'm not worried! The big one must be sold at a good price."

"Hahaha..." Everyone also laughed.

Taifu Cheng and his two masters were supervising and asking the children not to put the wrong baskets. The price of larger potatoes was higher.

The men digging potatoes in front were even more cautious, for fear of damaging the potatoes with a hoe.

"Don't worry, we can eat whatever is dug out and it won't have any impact." Jiang Xinyan encouraged them loudly.

The last word is to move quickly, so that you can get more results from your work. The soldiers have been trained and have the skills to do it.

They move quickly and will not make fun of those cautious men. After all, everyone wants to do better.

After all the people had worked hard for a few days, the children began to go back to class again. Some teachers were worried that the children had fallen behind in their homework.

Who would have thought! During the few days of ordering beans and picking potatoes, everyone realized a lot of truths, and it would be much easier to get twice the result with half the effort if we come to class again.

They understood it as soon as the master taught it, and not only could they remember it quickly, but they could also draw inferences from one instance to another. Their ability to accept it was simply much better than before.

Master Yang happily said to Master Wang: "It turns out that what Mrs. Chu said is so right. Children really need to combine work and rest, so that they can learn more."

"Yes! I didn't expect Mrs. Chu's idea to have so many benefits. We have planted more beans this year, and we don't have to delay studying."

"Mrs. Chu said that from now on we will have five days of classes, and then two days off for the children to work. This will not only allow them to work more, but will also be effective for their studies."

The masters were happy, and so were the students. They were more interested in learning and were not tired of reading at all.

The first day of April is the day for trading grain, three days in advance, with Cheng Sanshu and Chu Liuer taking the lead, two uncles from the Yang family, and two uncles from the Song family working together.

And a thousand carefully selected people, carrying 100,000 shi of potatoes and 50,000 shi of rice, headed to Dahe Town, Border Gate, for trading.
