ten or eight at a time, and then string them up to roast for you to eat!""Hmph, you two are just lazy! We have plenty of fat chickens at home and yet you insist on eating that bony little quail. You'...Seeing the young master enter, Yéshan quickly stood up. Perhaps afraid of accidentally hurting the young master, he discreetly hid his sword behind him. 。Jia Yin chuckled and said, "Uncle Shan, are you sharpening your father-in-law's knife I have something to tell you." 。"

Dongmei came out of the house and quickly replied, "Miss, if you have anything to do, just give orders. Please let him go out and do business right away. If we keep delaying, I'm afraid even the blade will be worn down."

" Ye Shan chuckled, quickly wiping the war knife clean and carefully inserting it back into its sheath. 。Jia Yin then said, "Shan Shu, the silver we got from selling melons earlier is just sitting there. I think it's better to exchange it for grain and store it away. " 。"These people in Xindu are terrible. What if my foster father is out and about, and the court doesn't provide him with grain Grandma always says, 'When you have grain in your hand, your heart is calm.' I want to store some extra so that I can help my foster father in an emergency." 。You go to Zhengjiazhuang and have them purchase grain in small amounts over time. Store it well, as I have other plans for it when winter arrives. 。After she said that, she took out a thick purse from her bag. It was full of silver notes. 。Although Ye Shan felt that with the Emperor present, no one dared to shortchange the Marquis's military rations, his master had given the order, and it was his duty to follow through. 。He immediately took it, “Yes, Miss, don't worry, I'll go to Zhengjiazhuang right away.” 。After saying that, he was about to leave, but Jia Yin used her bag as a cover and took out another oiled paper package from space. "Shan Shu, there are two steamed buns here. You can have them on the road." 。"Ye Shan laughed and didn't stand on ceremony, taking it and eating while going to loosen the reins. But before he could leave, the marquis returned, leading a retinue of dozens of horsemen. " 。Seeing Ye Shan about to leave, the Lord asked a few questions. Hearing that Jia Yin had given instructions, he didn't say much. 。Ye Shan went out, the little fox was the first to discover the Marquis, and chirped excitedly. Jia Yin hurriedly dashed forward and hugged the Marquis's arm, "Uncle, why did you come in so early today""There was nothing important in the court today, so I went to the dock to bring your people back." 。The lord held the little girl's hand and climbed the stairs. 。Winter Plum quickly moved a chair over, and the father and daughter sat down. 。Thirty veteran soldiers tethered their horses and walked over, all saluting together. 。Jia Yin was a little strange. She guessed that these people were the helpers her godfather had found for her. They would go out to find medicinal herbs later on... 。But these people didn't seem to be injured, at least they weren't missing any limbs. 。She asked, "Father-in-law, you've brought all the best soldiers in the army to me, won't that leave you short of people""No," the Marquis chuckled, patted her back reassuringly, and explained, "They've been fighting alongside me for years, they have wounds but it doesn't hinder their movement" 。It just so happens that they've come to help you gather medicinal herbs. They're gradually adapting and becoming ordinary people, living peaceful lives. 。"

Jia Yin suddenly realized and understood. 。These people are about what was said in past lives after the war syndrome, looking at the surface there is no much injury, but the slaughter of the battlefield left a heavy mark in their hearts. 。She pondered for a moment, then said, "Father-in-law, will they listen to me from now on Will they be completely subservient to me as my slaves or servants"The Marquis smiled and shook his head. "That depends on whether you can convince them. If they're willing, they'll be your slaves. If not, they'll remain in the workshops of Ercun." 。Jia Yin, hearing this, didn't flinch at all. She stepped forward two steps and carefully examined these veterans. 。It can be said that those who come to the battlefield, whether above or below, have a certain ferocity in their expressions, and are even always on guard. 。But their eyes were still clear, which made Jiayin very satisfied. 。She then opened her mouth and said, "Gentlemen, since you are all about the same age as my father, I should call you uncles." 。I am Li Jia Yin, the youngest granddaughter of the Li family, and also the Connaught County Princess bestowed by my imperial uncle. Suijin Beach is my fiefdom. 。"First of all, I want to thank you for fighting for Tianwu and protecting our peaceful and prosperous lives by risking your heads and spilling your blood! Today you come to our Suijin Beach, no matter what you do in the future, I, on behalf of everyone in Suijin Beach, welcome you " 。"Uncles and elders, rest assured, there are no enemies here, only relatives supporting each other to survive." 。Of course, recently wild boars have often come down from the mountains to damage crops. The village head has been chasing them so hard that his shoes are about to fall off! If you gentlemen consider wild boars as enemies, then it would be best. Everyone in the village would be happy, and we could even have a feast. 。The thirty old soldiers were still tense, although they trusted the Marquis, after all, they had arrived in a strange place. 。But the little plump Princess, welcoming them and making jokes, made them laugh unconsciously. 。Even the Marquis, sitting at the back, couldn't help but smile. 。He just knew that his little girl was no ordinary child. 。These thirty old soldiers wouldn't run out of her palm…The oldest black-faced man, leading the way, saluted and said, “Thank you, Lady Jun, for not despising us, these wastes…” 。"Don't mind it," Jia Yin giggled, waving her chubby hand. "My stepfather loves me the most. The fact that he chose you to be by my side proves that you are his most capable soldiers in his heart!" Indeed, the thirty veteran soldiers relaxed more, raising their heads and chests, even with a hint of pride. 。Jiayin said again: "I asked my adoptive father to gather all the uncles here, but there's actually nothing major" 。I learned medicine from an old doctor. Some of the herbs he used were only in books, I'd never actually seen them. Since I was young, my family wouldn't let me go out. 。So I thought about finding a team of people to go south with me to look for some medicinal plant seeds, saplings, or maybe even some local fruits. 。This work requires traveling outside, sleeping rough and eating on the go. There may also be danger involved. 。So all you uncles must think carefully, whether or not you will serve me. 。"If you serve me, sign a death pact, not a labor contract. Because the medicine I research in the future may become famous all over the world. The formula and raw materials must be kept secret. I need your loyalty " 。Of course, uncles and elders, if you are willing to be loyal to me and work hard, I will definitely not treat you poorly. 。From now on, you will receive five taels of silver each month. I will be responsible for providing all the rest, including food, clothing, weapons and medicine. 。I can guarantee these are the best and will provide the maximum level of security for you. 。"If that's the case, then there might still be a chance... I’ll take responsibility for finding an orphan to adopt and give my uncle a proper burial, ensuring his ancestral incense is always burning." 。My disabled uncle, I am responsible for supporting him until the end of his life. 。As long as I live, the Golden Beach will exist for a day, and my uncles will never worry about food and clothing, living comfortably and happily!

The old soldiers listened for a while without speaking. It wasn't that they didn't believe that Jia Yin had the ability to fulfill his promise, after all, there was still the Li family and the Marquis to rely on 。They were surprised that a child of such a young age could speak so eloquently, with reason and authority, wielding both kindness and power... It's no wonder they lived half their lives in vain and remained just ordinary soldiers, while this plump little girl was already a county princess…ement to the marriage proposal surprised Jia Ren. He guessed that the orchid must have completely won over his future father-in-law...But no matter the reason, this is good news.The next day, Li Lao'e...
