    Although Wei Hongcai knew that Xiao Yeyang would not hand over high-yielding grains easily, he was still very angry after seeing his rejection letter.

    "This Xiao Yeyang is too disrespectful! Sir, we can't let it go like this."

    Wei Hongcai glanced sideways at the official who spoke: "Then what do you think we should do?"

    The official choked up as he spoke. The person standing behind Xiao Yeyang was the emperor. They really couldn't force him.

    Wei Hongcai didn¡¯t expect the officials to come up with any good ideas, so he looked at Master Xu: ¡°Master Xu, what do you think?¡±

    Master Xu was silent for a moment before replying: "Sir, Mr. Xiao has good reasons for refusing. Let's wait."

    Wei Hongcai frowned: "How long will it take to wait? Is it possible that we have to wait until everyone in the Ganzhou Guard has planted high-yielding grain seeds before other guards can follow suit?"

    Master Xu lowered his head and said nothing.

    It was Xiao Yeyang who brought the high-yielding grains, so it was Xiao Yeyang who had the final say on how to distribute them.

    Wei Hongcai irritably dismissed everyone. After Master Xu withdrew, he left the Capital Command and went straight to the largest teahouse in Liangdu.

    "I thought you had something to do and wouldn't come today?"

    Wang Qi stood up with a smile and sat down to welcome Master Xu.

    Master Xu smiled and said, "It's rare that you came to Liangdu and made an appointment with me. How could I not come?"

    After the two sat down and drank a cup of tea, they began to talk about their respective situations. As they talked, they talked about the high-yield grain seeds in Ganzhou.

    Wang Qi: "The corn and potatoes brought by Xiao Yeyang are indeed high-yield. I mentioned to you that my tribe had a chance encounter with Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao donated some grain seeds. This year, I no longer have to worry about the tribe's hunger.  My stomach is full."

    After hearing this, Mr. Xu looked a little surprised: "You have said so. It seems that the high-yielding grain varieties are indeed suitable for promotion in Xiliang."

    Wang Qi nodded: "As long as corn and potatoes can be promoted in Xiliang, the people of Xiliang will end their hunger."

    Master Xu was overjoyed after hearing this, and then sighed: "Master Wei wrote to Xiao Yeyang to ask for high-yielding grain seeds before, but I didn't help with any ideas. It seems that after returning, I have to think of ways to promote high-yielding grain seeds."  Come on."

    Wang Qi: "It's not that Xiao Yeyang doesn't want to promote high-yield grain varieties. I think he wants to use high-yield grain varieties to achieve certain goals."

    "Not long ago, both Lan Wuwei and Jin Weiwei got a batch of high-yielding grain seeds. As far as I know, they should have reached some kind of deal with Xiao Yeyang."

    Master Xu frowned: "You mean you want me to leave it alone?"

    Wang Qi nodded: "Through my inquiring and observation during this period, everything Xiao Yeyang did when he came to Xiliang was beneficial to the people of Xiliang. This may not be in the interests of the Wei family. You can help him get it."  When it comes to high-yielding grains, they will probably only be grown in military fields, and they will not care about the common people."

    Master Xu stopped talking. He knew Wei Hongcai better than Wang Qi.

    Wei Hongcai wanted to squeeze Xiao Yeyang away. This idea has never stopped, but now he just hasn't found the opportunity.

    Master Xu looked at Wang Qi: "You defend Xiao Yeyang everywhere, where do you want to go?"

    Wang Qi smiled and did not deny it.

    Master Xu sighed: "Actually, this is fine. Due to geographical reasons, the people of Xiliang have already lived a difficult life. In recent years, the people of Xiliao have become more and more excessive. If Xiao Yeyang can really change the status quo, even I will be willing to  Serving.¡±

    Wang Qi looked at the passers-by: "Let's all wait and see."

    ?¡­

    In early September, when the textile factory was built, Xiao Yeyang called Li Chenzhi to the study and gave him a drawing with a Japanese cap and a military coat clearly drawn on it.

    "Before winter comes, make as many hats and military uniforms as possible. I will send all the cotton collected from the guard station to the textile factory."

    Li Chenzhi knew that these were clothes for the border troops, so he carefully put the drawings away and solemnly said: "I will recruit people to work on it immediately after I return."

    The Li family also has its own textile factory in Zhongzhou. Li Chenzhi is very familiar with this aspect. In just three days, he recruited hundreds of nearby women to start processing cotton and making military coats and military caps.

    In mid-September, Li Xingnian and Qin Xiaoliu once again escorted a large amount of supplies to Ganzhou City.

    Several shops purchased by the Li family in Ganzhouwei have already been laid out, and they are just waiting for the materials to be put up before they can be sold.

    Li Xingnian knew that Li Chenzhi was busy with the textile factory, so he opened the shop with his steward.

    On the Xiao Mansion side, Daohua is also watching the supplies being put into storage.

    Ganzhou?The weather started to get cold here in September. Daohua knew how difficult it was to travel in the ice and snow last year, so she ordered Qin Xiaoliu to send the supplies he needed early to prevent the people below from suffering.

    Time is slipping away little by little, and in October, snow begins to fall here in Ganzhouwei.

    In Ganwei Town, Wang Wu and the soldiers had just finished training on the playground when they heard the sound of rapid horse hooves. After a while, they saw a group of cavalry entering the city gate.

    Looking at the cavalry uniformly dressed in military coats and hats, Wang Wu and others looked envious.

    "Those clothes and hats look very warm at first glance. It would be great if we could have them too."

    "I heard from the guerrilla general that we also have it, but it's just not ready yet. It will be sent to us when it is ready."

    "The cavalry are better. They use any good things first. Did you see that the sabers they wear are all new?"

    "I also want to be a cavalryman."

    "Come on, the cavalry are all personally selected by Mr. Xiao one by one. I heard that the requirements are very high. Not only must they be physically strong, but they must also know some kung fu."

    Wang Wu listened to what everyone said and squeezed to the captain: "Captain, Mr. Xiao is here again today. Has he come too frequently during this period?"

    Captain: "Winter is the peak period for invasions from Xiliao people, so Master Xiao naturally patrols more frequently."

    Wang Wu: "But our training has become more frequent during this period." He lowered his voice, "Captain, are we going to fight?"

    The captain glanced sideways at Wang Wu: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. All you have to do is train well. If we really have to fight, you can survive from the Xiliao people."

    Wang Wu felt a bulge in his heart. Is there really going to be a war?

    At the end of October, more than 20 carriages carrying military uniforms and hats drove into Ganwei Town.

    Wang Wu got the newly issued clothes and put them on immediately: "This new cotton coat is so warm."

    A few days after receiving the new clothes, Wang Wu found that the food had improved. In the past, he could only eat meat once every seven days, but now he could eat it every two or three days.

    This gave him a bad feeling.

    Sure enough, two days later, the captain came to the barracks with a heavy face and told everyone an explosive news.

    "The cavalry has discovered that there are large-scale Xiliao people in the direction of Yunlian Mountain. We have been preparing for battle at all times. As soon as there is an order from above, we must quickly reinforce."

    Hearing this, everyone tensed up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
