“Don’t you want me to accompany you to the military camp?” Huang Zilan followed Liao Tingyu when they got up early in the morning, and the two of them stood at the door.
“No need, the military camp is full of rough men. It’s inconvenient for you to go there. I’ll come back when the deal is settled, and we’ll leave this tiring work to him.” Liao Tingyu, after careful consideration, decided not to take Huang Zilan there.
After all, the people in the military camp had seen blood, and most of them were very vulgar. The important thing was if they didn’t even wear shirts sometimes in winter, he didn’t want to dirty Huang Zilan’s eyes.
“Well, be careful. You guys must protect the magistrate.” Huang Zilan said seriously to the government officials behind Liao Tingyu.
“Please rest assured. We will definitely protect the magistrate.” Several government officials nodded quickly and promised that they would take good care of the county magistrate.
This was their good leader, and since the county magistrate came here, Linxian was getting better and better, but they didn’t want anything happened to the county magistrate.
.
Zhao Yuan, who was still angry in the camp, heard the news of Liao Tingyu’s arrival and quickly went out to greet him.
“Hey, what’s wrong, General? You look so bad, who made you angry?” Liao Tingyu asked curiously, looking at Zhao Yuan’s forced smile.
“Isn’t it all those people in the court who only know how to eat and don’t know how to do things. Soldiers here are going through life and death; we also live a hard life. Now even the supplies are only given so little, and there are not enough for the people.” Zhao Yuan exposed. He didn’t hide it and sat on the main seat angrily.
Several generals below also looked very ugly.
“That’s it, but I have something to ask you, and you should be very interested.” Liao Tingyu also knew the situation there, but there was nothing he could do.
“If you need my help, just ask. I will help you if I can.” Zhao Yuan patted his chest and promised.
The people below also nodded. This county magistrate was the only one who treated them sincerely in so many years of military service.
They would do their best to help. Not to mention, Liao Tingyu gave them all his farming skills and goat milk business, and he only got a small share. Where could they find such a good person?
“This is a good thing. Let me tell you, I recently developed a heated kang, which is just like a bed, but it uses firewood underneath. As long as the firewood is burning, it will be quite hot. I heard whenever the weather changes, or when it is cold and humid, people often feel pain everywhere in the bones of the body. I think this can solve their problem.” Liao Tingyu proudly introduced his work.
“The fire kang sounds good, are you showing off your achievements to me? Do you want me to dig out a jar of wine to celebrate.” Zhao Yuan didn’t know why he came all the way here just to say this but as the big brother, he should still encourage him.
“Of course not. I want to give this good thing to you. Who makes you, my brother? I will give you the method of making a fire kang, and you can make many of them in this military camp, so the winter will not be so difficult.”
“We’re living in a tent!” Zhao Yuan said.
“I know, the fire kang is made of earth. If it is well burned, it will dry up in a long time. You are not leaving anytime soon anyway, just be comfortable here.” Liao Tingyu said.
Yes, they were basically stationed here. They hadn’t moved a few times in a year and a half. Even if they did, they only did it a few miles away. It didn’t seem to be impossible.
Zhao Yuan squinted his eyes. His intuition made him feel such a good thing would not come so easily.
.
“You are like a fox. You can’t get up early without any benefit. Tell me what you need me to do.”
“There is nothing I need you to do. It’s just that I suddenly feel that the weather here is too cold. Many people, originally not having enough to eat, coupled with the cold, life was really miserable. I read in a book that the fire kang was very suitable for this place, so I thought about making it to improve the living conditions here, and helping out people on the way. You and others, in order to protect your family and the country, you have stayed away from your homeland, which is already very touching. How can I let them suffer such grievances again? If life can be better, I will do my best to help them.”
Liao Tingyu said with a pure face. These words made the people below extremely excited.
“Your Excellency, the county magistrate is so kind. I have been fighting all my life, and I have won so many battles, but I am not as comfortable as I am today. In this life, I have such a good official as the county magistrate. Even if I, Xiong Fang, die on the battlefield, it is not in vain.”
“Yes, the magistrate is thinking about us so much. He is our brother. Whoever dares to trip him up in the future I, Chen Daniu, will not let him go.” Everyone in the tent was scrambling to express their wishes.
Zhao Yuan had a look on his face. He was helpless, he was Liao Tingyu’s sworn brother, how could they steal the limelight.
Could it be that he was not the first to fight for his sworn brother?
Zhao Yuan glared and slapped the table, “Quiet down, the magistrate is a scholar. Aren’t you rough old men trying to deafen people with such a loud voice?”
When Zhao Yuan got angry, everyone immediately turned into quails.
