Knowing that the battle on the front line was successfully won, everyone in Liuhe Villa breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the situation in Longxi is temporarily stabilized, neighboring Qinxi can continue to develop peacefully.

However, Yu Yalan was keenly aware of something different. Song Xi, who had returned from the battlefield, seemed to be a little preoccupied.

After lunch that day, she took her husband for a walk in the garden to eat, and then took the opportunity to relieve his worries.

"Why are you so unhappy, husband? Did you encounter something difficult on the battlefield?"

Song Xi was stunned for a while after hearing this, and hesitantly talked about his feelings after the victory.

There are some things that he cannot tell others, but he has no reservations about his beloved wife.

"I'm just feeling a little emotional. I hope my father and elder brother won't blame me for my choice today. If possible, I would also like to lead an army to kill all the Tatars and complete the mission of the Song family with dignity. But I must give priority to taking care of them.

My family and relatives cannot be brave enough to sacrifice my family for the greater good..."

As the leader of Qinxi who controls 160,000 troops, Song Xi actually already has the strength to fight the Tatars.

But he was not a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he still carried a stigma that had not yet been washed away.

Seeing the Tatars fleeing on the battlefield, he could only stop the pursuit at the right time. Seeing the people of Xiliang and Ganzhou suffering, he could only turn around and leave sadly.

He does not have the identity to protect everything openly, nor can he realize the long-cherished wish of the heroes of the Song family.

In the face of the people of his country and the justice of the world, he chose to protect his little family silently.

He doesn't regret it, but he feels ashamed of his father and brother.

Yu Yalan looked at him with some distress, her watery eyes filled with tenderness.

"Husband, you have gone astray. Do you still remember the last words that your father and mother left for you? They only hope that you can live the rest of your life safely and happily, and they have never asked you to shoulder those heavy responsibilities. Even when your father and eldest brother see you today,

I will only be proud and happy of you for your achievements, so how can I blame you for being alone?"

The words my father and mother left before they died...

"Don't take revenge", "stay away from the court", "live your own life".

Song Xi felt a sudden sense of enlightenment, and all the depression in her heart was instantly relieved.

He couldn't help but hug the woman in front of him into his arms, wanting to draw some warmth and strength from his beloved wife.

"Lan'er, I know they won't mind my choice. I just... want to fulfill my father and brother's long-cherished wish, and I also want to restore the name of the ancestors of the Song family so that our children and grandchildren can live in this world with dignity.

live on."

When a person has enough strength, he will always want to make up for his past regrets.

Those painful memories of being in the quagmire are unbearable to look back on, and one can only rely on revenge and counterattack to smooth out the inner scars.

So the deceased's long-cherished wish became his long-cherished wish, and the deceased's expectations became his responsibility. It seemed that only by completing these long-cherished wishes and responsibilities could he somewhat calm down the regret and unwillingness buried deep in his heart.

Yu Yalan can understand her husband's mood. She has accompanied him through so many difficulties and obstacles, and she will continue to stay with him through thick and thin in the future.

"One day we will do it, husband. All our long-cherished wishes will be fulfilled one day. Now we just need to grow up silently, make every choice in a down-to-earth manner, seize the time to cherish all opportunities, and be prepared for a rainy day.

, the time to realize your long-cherished wish will come. Don’t be anxious, don’t panic, let’s quietly wait for that moment together.”

Song Xi tightened the arms that hugged each other tightly, and held the tenderness in her arms close to her heart.

"Okay, when everything is ready, we will realize those long-cherished wishes. Then we will no longer have to hide and hide. Our family will live legitimately under the sun."

The midday sun in winter was slightly warm, making the pair of beautiful women in the courtyard seem to be plated with golden light.

The lazy little sparrows stood on the eaves and chirped, seeming to bless their beautiful relationship.

…

Shortly after the war ended, Liuhe Villa strengthened its surveillance of Lu Guogong and Zhou Jiajun.

Song Xi and Yu Yalan seized the time to develop Qin Xi, striving to complete the most construction in the shortest schedule.

The whole of Qinxi was in full swing in the cold winter, moving vigorously towards Kangzhuang Avenue.

Song Xi sent people to Yulin to prepare for the construction of the Great Wall to protect the border, and along with them were newly produced cement materials.

Tan Ziqian once complained that the defense of the old city was too low, and it was very difficult to resist Tatar attacks every time.

Now that he finally had the materials to build a new wall, he was ecstatic and understood Song Xi's determination.

This reinforcement should be a precautionary measure to avoid having to worry about being attacked from both sides when war breaks out within the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

Yu Yalan began to prepare for the upcoming spring plowing. In the new year, she plans to promote four high-yield grain varieties: potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and rice. In addition, cotton, a cash crop that is closely related to daily life, will also be promoted this year.

Start promoting farming.

She improved and innovated the promotion plan previously used in Xianping, and then sent people to train officials from various prefectural and county governments, and then they were responsible for guiding farmers to carry out specific farming.

Before spring plowing officially begins, these officials must teach the people in villages and counties as soon as possible that the planting and promotion of high-yielding grain varieties is a huge matter, related to the people's livelihood and well-being in western Qinxi, and also related to the strategic deployment of Liuhe Villa.

Since the high-yielding grain varieties were already well-known in the capital two years ago, she did not continue to use this title this time to promote planting.

When grain seeds are distributed, they are called improved experimental varieties, trying to blur people's memory of the high-yielding grain seeds in the past.

During the promotion process, she did not emphasize the characteristics and yield of these seeds, but only used persuasion to get people to try planting them.

Most of the people have great trust in the strength of Liuhe Villa and do not have any doubts about the grain produced by the owner of the village.

Therefore, the promotion went very smoothly. After all, who would have too much grain for free?

Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law were very busy, Yu Hongxuan started his own medical project unwilling to be alone.

The fertile land and mountains purchased in the past two years are now put to use, and he is planning to build a large herbal plantation.

Taking advantage of the yamen's opportunity to promote grain seeds, we jointly promote the economic value of herbal cultivation and lead people who cannot grow grain to open up another way to become rich.

In particular, some common herbs for stopping bleeding and healing wounds are urgently needed for the border troops and people in the northwest provinces. Once successfully planted, they will definitely bring a lot of income to the people of Qinxi and satisfy the border troops.

medical needs.
