Chapter 499 Natural Disasters and War-torn World 47
Ling Xue often inspected the sweet potatoes and potatoes she arranged to plant, and often met the old general.
The old general lived to this age and had no direct relatives, so he lived a very free and easy life.
Ling Xue herself has also lived in different worlds, and her horizons are quite broad.
When the two met, they just talked about whatever came to mind, and they hit it off quite well.
The old general didn't expect that at his age, he could meet a little girl with whom he had such a common language, and he was quite emotional.
"It was too late for us to meet each other. It would have been decades earlier. Old guy, I will definitely find a way to marry you back home."
Ling Xue couldn't help laughing when she heard the old general's words.
After she had laughed enough, she shook her head and said to the old general: "That's impossible. You might have met my mother a few decades earlier!" After that,
she laughed again.
The old general glared at Ling Xue, and then sighed: "You girl, you dare to say anything, and you don't know what to say. Also, the age is not right for you." The two looked at each other and laughed loudly
. laugh it out.
The old general's surname is Lao, and his name is general!
What Ling Xue admires most is his father's ability to name him. Look, at his age, he has become an old general!
Ling Xue often made fun of him with his name, and the old general was not angry, but rather proud: "I deserve it. At least I live a long life, otherwise I wouldn't be able to achieve the level of the old general!" Ling Xue agreed
. Nodding, I feel that he really lives a more open-minded life.
"You are so concerned about the new grain seeds I planted, do you also want to plant them in the military camp?" The
old general was magnanimous, and he explained it to Ling Xue in detail: "You don't know, we don't have any now. What about military expenditures? The imperial court has not allocated a single grain of food. If our military camp didn’t still have some farmland, I’m afraid these tens of thousands of people would have starved to death.”
Ling Xue was also sighing when she heard this. She patted her chest and assured the old general: "These two new grains are both high-yielding grains. If nothing else, they can at least ensure that the soldiers in your camp are not hungry." The old general heard this
. Seeing Ling Xue's assurance, her serious face instantly became serious: "In this way, old man, I believe you. If nothing else, as long as I am here, old man, it will be absolutely impossible for other forces to annex our Yunyang Mansion. It's impossible, I will definitely keep them out of Yunyang Mansion."
Ling Xue was still very satisfied with the old general's return. It would be good for her to have less turmoil. She also paid more attention to the military camp's farming. After a while, he said, "If you want to grow new food, I think you should hurry up. You see how weird this day is this year. It hasn't rained a few times. I'm afraid it's going to be a drought!" The old general nodded and said that he was the same
. He thought like this: "Why don't my old man wander around here with nothing to do?" "
This new and improved variety does not need to be picked up. It can be planted in every corner and corner of the land. There will be a harvest to some extent. You can let those idle people grow now." The remaining soldiers reclaimed the idle land and planted it. I will prepare as many seeds as you need!" The
old general then wiped away the sadness on his face and became happy again.
Only then did Ling Xue realize that the old general had told her so much and was just waiting for her to say this!
Why bother? As long as he opens his mouth and she can still refuse, she still has a sense of the overall situation.
This can be regarded as a matter of mutual benefit. If nothing else, if he came to Yunyang Mansion for her and was not blocked by the old general, she would not help them.
