Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C399 Northern Expedition



C399 Northern Expedition

The greenhouse is for the parterre.    

    

This was something that couldn't be helped.    

    

If he wanted it to be popularized, he would be able to use a lot of farmland in winter. It wouldn't be a waste of time.    

    

Xiao Yun would have to implement this technology sooner or later.    

    

However, for the time being, it needed too much money to maintain it.    

    

"Zhen heard that there is a place to plant vegetables next to this?"    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Your majesty, do you think that rich people would be willing to spend a lot of money in winter just to eat a mouthful of fresh vegetables?"    

    

"Other than you, who else would be willing to squander like this?!"    

    

His majesty glared at him fiercely.    

    

But at the same time, he was also very clear in his heart that many large families could afford to spend this money.    

    

But being able to afford it and being willing to spend it were two different things.    

    

His Majesty really did not think that anyone would spend a sky-high price just to be able to eat a mouthful of fresh food in the winter.    

    

On this point, Xiao Yun was not the slightest bit worried.    

    

Would the fresh vegetables in the winter really be needed?    

    

On the surface, it was not necessary.    

    

But in fact, it was necessary!    

    

His world, the era of his childhood.    

    

This kind of thing had just risen up in the city.    

    

Whether it was fruits or vegetables, they were all very expensive!    

    

Just imagine, a person's monthly salary was two hundred dollars, but a kilogram of cucumber was ten dollars!    

    

Who could afford it?    

    

But if the people did not eat or buy, just selling it to the rich and selling it to the vegetable greenhouse and heating rooms would not develop so quickly.    

    

Why did the people say that it was not necessary? They said that it was a waste of money, but they still wanted to buy it?    

    

Because... face!    

    

On New Year's Eve, it was an extremely honorable thing to have a fresh dish on the dining table at home.    

    

If others saw it, then his own home must have it.    

    

If they didn't, they would be a laughing stock if they were seen by outsiders.    

    

Was face important?    

    

In that era, reputation was the most important!    

    

No, to be precise, face was very important to everyone in every era.    

    

In this world, other than the necessary food and drinks, most of the other things were for face.    

    

In this world, people cared more about their feathers and face!    

    

Just think about it, some things that shouldn't have appeared during the season had appeared in the food provided by a large family to entertain guests.    

    

People saw, people discussed, and people gasped in amazement.    

    

Wasn't this face full?    

    

Who didn't want to have this kind of face?    

    

As the saying goes, the road to wealth is a simple one?    

    

When the time came, everyone would compete with each other and buy from each other.    

    

Xiao Yun could guarantee that in the very beginning, these things were not enough to be sold!    

    

He looked at His Majesty with a look of disbelief.    

    

Xiao Yun couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.    

    

"Hmph!"    

    

His Majesty ended the discussion about the greenhouse with a snort.    

    

He changed the topic and talked about the northern expedition.    

    

"The northern expedition this time really gave me a scare."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Oh? What's wrong? Nothing big happened, right?"    

    

His Majesty shook his head.    

    

"This time, even I am surprised that we are able to gather 200 thousand troops, and they are all elites. The supplies were well prepared, especially the fried meat patty that they brought. It was really easy to carry."    

    

Speaking up to this point, His Majesty looked up and asked, "Fried food, did you prepare it long ago? You've wanted to attack the North Wei a long time ago? "    

    

Xiao Yun did not hide anything and said, "Ever since I experienced the matter of the spring hunting, I have been paying attention to the North Wei. I believe that His Majesty also knew that the Tuoba family of the North Wei led troops to invade. It could be considered luck. At that time, the peasants had let the tiger go. However, the people of the North Wei did not have the heart to destroy me. They felt that they should have made some arrangements. Only after knowing Leng Yueling, His Majesty should have also heard of my relationship with her. Knowing that she was imprisoned in the Northern Wei... She could not take revenge, but I can't ignore it! "    

    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and muttered, "There are so many women in the world, you can ask and you can do whatever you want. Why did she take a fancy to her?"    

    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. It can't be helped, a single misstep is also a thousand years old hatred."    

    

His Majesty glared at him fiercely.    

    

However, he did not get entangled in this matter.    

    

After all, with Xiao Yun's current abilities, women in this world were really free to do anything.    

    

"Two hundred thousand soldiers charged towards North Wei at the coldest time of winter. I heard that the guards at the border of North Wei were all dumbfounded. If they wanted to come out and defend the city, they would only be standing outside. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Qin Country... But there is no fear!"    

    

At this point, the king looked at Xiao Yun and sighed, "Even this matter is within your calculations, right? Is it considered premeditated for a long time?"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled again.    

    

He did not answer directly.    

    

In fact, when Old General Xiao led 200 thousand troops to the north, he was also very nervous.    

    

The day he left, snow fell from the sky.    

    

Xiao Yun had been gone for some time.    

    

This was what Xiao Wansheng regretted.    

    

He felt that his life would be over once he left, and he would never be able to return to Qin Country in his lifetime.    

    

When he finally met Xiao Yun, the two of them didn't say anything important to each other.    

    

It was still a pity.    

    

Two hundred thousand soldiers spread out across the mountains and plains.    

    

One hundred thousand of them were from the northern defense army, which could be considered Xiao Wansheng's old subordinates.    

    

The other hundred thousand were gathered by the Four Direction Logistics Division.    

    

But they were not just there to make up the numbers.    

    

And they were all the best among them.    

    

If it was at a good time, or when Xiao Wansheng was young, he felt that he could lead this group of people to fight to the end of the world!    

    

But now, it was winter, and he was old again.    

    

He was afraid that he would die on the way before the war even started.    

    

But...    

    

As a general, being able to die on the battlefield was the best outcome.    

    

Regarding this, he was extremely grateful to his grandson.    

    

With his grandson like this, even if he left, he would still be happy and happy.    

    

However, what made Old Master Xiao feel fortunate was that the logistic team they prepared was really very powerful.    

    

The newly modified horse carriages, together with a group of officers escorting them, could be connected together on the road. It was quite shocking!    

    

Logically speaking.    

    

This sort of thing. The process of transporting goods was the most costly.    

    

Because the person escorting also had to eat!    

    

People ate and horses chewed. Without waiting for a place, seventy to eighty percent of the supplies would have been used up on the road.    

    

If they were to delay a bit longer, there really wouldn't be anything left.    

    

The key was that the logistical troops had to go back!    

    

On the way back, they had to eat and drink, right?    

    

Therefore, there were very few things that could reach the front line.    

    

This was something that every general would worry about and feel extremely helpless about.    

    

But when it came to Old General Xiao.    

    

Everything had changed!    

    

As long as the transport troops were on their way, Gold Hidden Pavilion would immediately purchase some food from nearby areas and send it directly to the transport troops.    

    

They did not need to eat and drink much.    

    

However, when they arrived at the place, the supply did not decrease but increased instead!    

    

Old General Xiao's eyes almost popped out!    

    

This was a bit too exaggerated.    

    

The Gold Hidden Pavilion was a little too useful, wasn't it?    

    

Furthermore, this money didn't even need to be spent by the military. It was the Gold Hidden Pavilion's recent donation.    

    

Those merchants wanted to have a good relationship with the Gold Hidden Pavilion, so the fundraiser was very effective.    

    

In this way, not only did they not offend anyone, they even completed the task perfectly.    

    

Old Master Xiao couldn't help but admire Xiao Yun.    

    

This kid... What a genius!    

    

He arrived at the northern border.    

    

Old Master Xiao did not waste much effort and completely took over this place.    

    

The others thought that he was here to do fortifications, but Old Master Xiao called all the generals together.    

    

Then he said sternly, "Beifa, from today onwards!"
