Chapter 161

"Sister don't worry, Daddy will be fine." Shen Qingci took Shen Qingrong's hand, it was obviously so warm in the house now, but her hand was so cold.

Yes, don't worry, according to the distance, if it goes well, those things should have arrived at the border.

The heavy snow was still falling outside. After the butler asked for instructions, he quickly took out the prepared cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes. Each person had two clothes and two pairs of cotton-padded shoes. The girls and wives in the house stood in a pile, each holding a new cotton-padded coat and writing in his arms, and holding the one or two silver coins in their hands, they all cried. I'm not hungry anymore, but this one has a family, and these two fights may be able to save the family's life.

The servants in the house were wearing warm cotton-padded clothes, and it was not cold at all. After sweeping the snow for a while, they all felt that their palms were about to sweat.

And just at the border, the weather here is much colder than the capital. Of course, there was also an early snow, which froze the soldiers. Wearing the same, the cotton coats are from last year, they are thin and cold on the body, they are not warm at all, and the cold hands are afraid to go out.

"How's it going, but have you found food?" Shen Dingshan asked, the clothes on his body were very thin and extremely cold. He only had this cloak on his body, which could still block some wind, but the clothes under the cloak were very cold. How could it not be cold against his skin?

The grain deposit officer was also shivering, and he hurriedly said, "General, I have already traveled a lot, but all the local grains are in shortfall this year, and the snow fell too early, so there is no People dare to sell food."

Shen Dingshan remembered the silver he brought, "I won't sell it if I give it, really don't sell it?"

The grain deposit officer nodded again. He had already walked along the road and asked, but he never let go of a family, but no one dared to sell it, and even those wealthy households did not have much food in storage.

At this time, standing beside Shen Dingshan was a thin middle-aged man, who sighed slightly.

"It's not that they don't sell it, it's that no one dares to sell it. Sometimes money can only be used to smash people, but food can save lives. In front of life and money, no matter how greedy people are, they will end up with their own life. .

And this person is none other than the one who joined the army with Yan Long, the old beggar who was rescued by the old doctor. The old beggar has experienced a life and death, and he can see through something. When a person is about to die, some things will pass. , Even if he doesn't pass, he can still walk through. Perhaps when he was dying, the past that had troubled him was also figured out, so he came with his apprentice, and also served under Shen Dingshan's command.

But this person is a rare general. He doesn't know how to fight, but he can march and form formations, but in less than a year, he and Shen Dingshan cooperated perfectly.

And he is also a person who can watch the stars. He has long known that the snow will fall early, but he didn't expect it to be so early. Of course, no one thought that the sick and dying old sand was like this. A capable person, just because of the great changes in his family, he became a walking corpse. If it weren't for the gold and silver beads given by the third girl Shen, he might have turned into a dead bone.

Death is lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.

He owed his life to General Tie, so he decided to come here just to repay the grace of his life.

If Shen Qingci knew that the bag of gold and silver beads she had at the time, there was also that day of punishment, she really did not do anything wrong, but she found such a good right-hand man for Shen Dingshan.

"If you look further afield, you must find food and grass for the army." Shen Dingshan lifted his clothes, and then sat on the chair behind him, the firewood was burning in the tent, and the firewood was crackling. No one spoke, and even the atmosphere did not dare to show more.

"Report..."

Suddenly, a soldier ran over, and he also cupped his hands.

"Reporting to the general, the Duke of Wei has sent something to the general."

"It's A Ning from my family."

Shen Dingshan stood up, and even the condensation on his body receded in an instant. His darling Ning will prepare and have someone bring it to him, but the distance is long, no matter how fast you go, it will take about four months. , I am afraid that these things were sent from the beginning of summer.

When Shen Dingshan went out, he saw a lot of soldiers surrounding him.

His face sank, what did he come to do if he didn't train well, what is the place to be a military camp, don't you know the military regulations?

"General..."

When the soldiers saw Shen Dingshan, they were not afraid, but were all excited.

"Beijing has brought us clothes and food."

Clothing, food? Shen Dingshan's heart tightened, and he stepped forward quickly, but what he saw was the person in his house.

"Grandpa." The man cupped his hands. "The eldest girl and the third girl brought something to the general. This carriage belongs to the general." He patted a carriage beside him.

Shen Dingshan waved his hand, and his subordinates already took all these things into his tent.

"Is there anything else?"

Shen Dingshan asked, because he had already seen the carriage connected to the other one behind him. I'm afraid there are too many to count.

"Yes," the man threw another punch.

"When the spring started in the house, we started to buy food, and we also made 100,000 cotton-padded coats for the soldiers. This time, they were all delivered together."

Shen Dingshan's throat couldn't help but tighten.

In fact, needless to say, I also know whose idea it was. It was his little A Ning. He was the only one in the house who had such an ancient brain and could think of so many things.

"Come in first."

Shen Dingshan took a step back and let the carriage come in, and then there were hundreds of carriages. The carriages were filled with piles of extremely high grain, and solid cotton-padded clothes tied with clothes. , but it is also very pleasing, especially the food, no matter how it is so pleasing.

Nearly 100,000 pieces of cotton-padded coats were all pressed very tightly. It took a carriage of twenty taels to pull it over. And the food was also piled up on the carriage. The grain that needs to be bottomed out is piled high again, and these grains are enough for the army to eat for about the first half of the year. By then, the grain and grass of the imperial court will be delivered. No matter how hard the winter this year is, the soldiers will not need it. Again hungry, then cold.

Shen Dingshan walked into his tent. There was a big box inside. He opened one of them. They were all finished boots, all made of leather. Even if it snowed or rained, it would be impossible. Wet again.
