Chapter 287

Wei Wenzhong transferred field soldiers from Shuofang. Although it had advantages, it also had disadvantages.

Eighty thousand field soldiers equals eighty thousand labor force.

Even counting the more than people he just obtained from Wang Qi, he only has more than people in his hands.

Now, he actually has more capable soldiers than Tian Bing.

He has almost capable soldiers.

Nowadays, there are fewer Tian soldiers doing other things.

Yunzheng now has to dig up the corpses of the war horses in the Death Valley, and build a permanent military camp. The workshops that Zhang Xu was working on also need people.

As a result, the manpower on his hands was somewhat stretched.

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

There are pros and cons!

There is not too much shortage of people now.

If the manpower shortage is too great, people from Shuofang will be hired to work.

After arranging all the matters, Yun Zheng led his people to the military camp under construction in Luoxia Mountain.

It was said that they were going to check the progress of the construction of the military camp, but in fact they were taking Shen Luoyan and the others to soak in the hot springs. Even Ye Zi and Xin Sheng were called there by Yun Zheng.

At noon, they arrived at Luoxia Mountain.

I have to say, it’s really good to have more people.

It didn't take long before the camp in Luoxia Mountain was already well-established.

The camp here is mainly for cavalry training. The entire camp is very large and empty.

Most of the buildings were stables, and there were few places for people to live.

According to the current progress, the camp here will be put into use in about ten days at most.

After a brief inspection, Yun Zheng asked someone to take them to see the hot springs.

The hot spring is at the foot of the south side of Luoxia Mountain.

The hot spring is not too big, just a pool about three feet in diameter.

After receiving Yun Zheng's order, the people here had already built an earth wall around the hot spring in advance, and the earth wall was covered with a thick layer of thatch.

The water vapor is lingering inside, just like a fairyland.

Several people tested the water temperature and found it was a little hot to the touch.

"You are quite well prepared!"

Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with a smile on his face, "In order to prevent people from peeping, even the wall has been repaired in advance."

Miaoyin nodded and said with a sweet smile: "Only he dares to do peeping! He is protecting himself!"

Listening to Miaoyin's words, the girls couldn't help but smile.

"What are you thinking!"

Yun Zhengbai said the same as the others, "This earthen wall is for heat preservation! I plan to plant some vegetables around here! If I plant them now, I might be able to eat fresh vegetables at the end of the year."

Yun Zheng secretly smiled bitterly.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching.

This is also his first New Year in Daqian.

It’s Chinese New Year, so don’t eat something good!

For him now, fresh vegetables are a good thing!

Is it easy for me to eat fresh vegetables?

"Are you crazy about eating fresh vegetables? Can you grow vegetables at this time of year?"

Shen Luoyan poured cold water on Yunzheng mercilessly.

"Why can't it work?"

Yunzheng smiled confidently, "It's surrounded by a wall and it's always warm. Why can't we grow vegetables? You look like you've never farmed before!"

In the world of his previous life, there was actually a precedent for growing vegetables in greenhouses during the Han Dynasty.

However, the cost is very high.

They now have hot springs, which don’t cost much at all.

He believes that he can definitely grow fresh vegetables!

"Okay, I'll wait for you to grow fresh vegetables!"

Shen Luoyan gave him a blank look, "If you can't plant it, I won't laugh at you!"

Miaoyin and Mingyue nodded in agreement.

They also didn’t believe that vegetables could be grown in such a cold weather.

"Even if the seeds are really planted, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the new year."

Ye Zi raised his eyes and said: "It's only about ten days until the New Year's Eve..."

"what?"

Yun Zheng was stunned, "So fast?"

Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin were equally surprised.

Is it almost the New Year’s Eve?

"if not?"

Ye Zi looked at a few people with a dumbfounded look, "You have been thinking about how to fight all day long, and you have forgotten the time!"

The three looked at each other.

They really didn't bother to calculate the time issue.

Is the New Year approaching before I know it?

Yun Zhengwu shook his head and smiled, and then said: "If it's too late, it's too late! I've brought all the seeds! Let's plant them here after soaking in the hot springs, and we can harvest them whenever we can!"

Shen Luoyan nodded, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu, "You two can leave!"

"do not!"

Yunzheng said seriously: "I'll ask someone to get some wooden boards to separate them. Let's just soak in them separately!"

"roll!"

Shen Luoyan, Miaoyin and Ye Zi spoke at the same time.

Yun Zheng laughed and left with Zhang Xu.

Naturally, they can't hang out with them, it's just teasing them.

"Lan'er, Ling'er, you guys are guarding the door and no one is allowed to come near!"

Shen Luoyan was worried and specially ordered two guards to guard the door.

Lan'er and Ling'er used to be maids of the Shen family. They had learned some martial arts, and were later selected by her to become Yunzheng's bodyguards.

"Yes!"

The two of them took the order and immediately went to guard the door.

Zhang Xu rushed to Lan'er and Ling'er who were guarding the door and laughed softly: "They are preventing you from climbing up the wall and peeking!"

"Shit, I must be guarding against a wretched guy like you!" Yun Zheng scolded with a smile.

"Compared with His Highness, I'm still far behind." Zhang Xu laughed.

After such a long time, Zhang Xu and Yun Zheng have become completely familiar with each other.

Yun Zheng didn't have any airs in front of him. If Zhang Xu wanted to make a joke, Yun Zheng could do it.

Yun Zheng laughed and suddenly turned to look at Zhang Xu, "Do you regret coming to Shuobei with me?"

"What is there to regret?"

Zhang Xu smiled nonchalantly and said: "After a while, who in the world will not know that Zhang Gong is drunk, and who will not know my name, Zhang Xu? For this reason, I, Zhang Xu, will not regret following Your Highness to Shuobei!"

Yunzheng smiled and turned to ask: "The end of the year is approaching, don't you miss home?"

"I really miss home." Zhang Xu chuckled, "But I do miss the imperial city!"

Yun Zheng was surprised and joked: "Miss the brothel in the imperial city?"

"The one who knows me is Your Highness!"

Zhang Xu said something sternly and winked: "There is not even a brothel in Shuofang City. This is the first time that I, Zhang Xu, have not touched a woman for such a long time since I was fourteen years old..."

What the hell!

This beast!

You started doing that when you were fourteen?

"You are such a fucking beast!"

Yun Zheng laughed and scolded: "Then just think of it as recuperating in Shuobei! If you keep playing like this, you will destroy yourself sooner or later! By then, you will only be able to look at your daughter and sigh!"

Zhang Xu nodded and laughed loudly: "I think so too!"

Yun Zheng smiled, patted Zhang Xu's shoulder heavily, and said like a promise: "Believe me, in one year at most, you and I will be famous all over the world!"

He knew clearly in his heart that Zhang Xu was actually joking with him on purpose.

Zhang Xu's purpose is simply to relax himself, stop thinking so much, and stop feeling sorry for him...
