Lord Li sent more than a hundred people again. Chu Yunning looked at the registration list and was born in poor families.

"What are you doing before you join the military camp? How many people in your family are good at it?"

Chu Yunning personally wrote the writing and asked the people on the list one by one to find unnecessary troubles in screening.

"Chu Shang Palace, we are all farmers, facing the loess and facing the sky, and we are all brute force work, not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

Their families were almost too poor to get rid of the blame, and the harvest was not good, so they heard that the court was conscripting troops and also gave silver, and they could still receive monthly payments every month. If they unfortunately died in battle, they could leave a large amount of pension for their families, so they came without hesitation.

Chu Yunning simply took a few farming questions, and the few people opened their mouths and opened the calluses in their hands.

Some people even carried a large stone directly on their shoulders to express brute force.

"Don't worry, Chu Shanggong, we don't have so many tricks. You're just going to win the battle and go back to see me as soon as possible."

"That's right, I'm still waiting to go back and get married."

Chu Yunning curled his lips and smiled: "Remember, farming is not shameful. You can make a living by relying on your hands, not stealing or robbing, nor embarrassing. From now on, each of you will be responsible for guarding a greenhouse. I will check it regularly. If it is well managed, I will reward you. When the war is over, the court will still need each of you."

One of them said excitedly: "What Chu Shanggong means is that we will go to the capital to farm in the future?"

They thought that after the war ended, they would not be needed here, but they did not expect that there would be other arrangements.

"How could it be? There are so many mouths waiting for dinner. As long as you want, you can stay here or go to the capital to develop."

Chu Yunning also plans to drive the people around him out of poverty, which is not a matter of time overnight.

Some people seemed to have seen the future and became even more excited: "Don't worry, Chu Shanggong, we will do our best and never cause trouble."

"Sure, I have something to say first. If someone cheats and cheats, don't blame me for being rude!"

After setting rules, these people did not dare to underestimate Chu Yunning and nodded with serious expressions.

So Chu Yunning arranged tasks for the hundred people, divided them into three shifts to continue to expand the greenhouse, and sent people to buy straw from the homes of surrounding farmers.

The news here cannot be hidden from Emperor Mingwen because Deputy General Wen, who was stationed in the border, couldn't stand women shouting in front of men, and even more, a few of the 100 people who were driven away were his former subordinates. Chu Yunning's move caused him to have nowhere to let go.

Deputy General Wen became more and more angry the more he thought about it. While reporting on military information, he just told him about this matter.

"Your Majesty, Chu Shanggong has made so many jokes in the army. I thought I shouldn't give Chu Shanggong such great power."

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Then Vice General Wen said: "Since ancient times, women have stayed at home to take care of their husbands and children. What men say is what they say. How many people are as rebellious as Chu Shanggong? The soldiers at the southern end are controlled by a woman and spread them out. Where can we put our faces?"

Once the conversation was opened, Deputy General Wen became more and more excited: "Master, our military camp is full of flesh and blood men, but Chu Shanggong brought people to farm and beat so many people in public, so he was not afraid of the hearts of the soldiers."

After chatting for almost half an hour, Emperor Mingwen patiently held the tea and handed it to his mouth and took a sip. Eunuch Mo, who was beside him, looked at Deputy General Wen with a sympathetic look.

Finally, Vice General Wen was almost used up his spit, and then he looked up at Emperor Mingwen: "Emperor, the last general has finished speaking."

Emperor Mingwen put down the teacup, and the expression on his face was unpredictable. He only asked lightly: "I don't know when this war will end. Farming is also my idea. Vice General Wen thinks that farming is not impossible?"

Vice General Wen was stunned.

"What's the shame of farming? The three armies are expensive to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day. If the war is delayed for too long and there is no food or grass, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty, I am afraid." Deputy General Wen's legs were weak and kneeled on the ground.

Emperor Mingwen said in a deep voice: "Although the imperial court can send people to deliver food and grass, the journey is long, who can guarantee that there will be no delays along the way and no accidents? If you can be self-sufficient and no longer collect life-saving food from the people, what's wrong?"

"This..." Deputy General Wen could not lift his head when questioned. He lowered his head tightly and sweated heavily on his forehead.

Emperor Mingwen slowly stood up, walked around the table and came to Emperor Mingwen, and asked again: "I heard that the people who caused trouble today are the subordinates of Deputy General Wen. Is Deputy General Wen defending the situation?"

"I dare not." Deputy General Wen kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen.

"There is nothing wrong with Chu Shanggong doing everything according to my instructions. Is there anything wrong with Deputy General Wen questioning me?"

Deputy General Wen was frightened and knelt on the ground and shook his head: "I dare not, please forgive me."

Seeing Deputy General Wen’s dissatisfaction, Emperor Mingwen said in a deep voice: “What about a woman? If there is no woman, how could a man come from? Deputy General Wen, you are too underestimating Chu Shang Palace, Eunuch Mo.”

"The slave is here." Eunuch Mo stepped forward.

"Tell me my will and let Deputy General Wen go to plant the land for half a month, and everything will be followed by the command of Chu Shanggong."

Deputy General Wen looked up in shock: "Your Majesty, I won't go!"

"Does the deputy general want to resist the order? This is a serious crime of beheading?" said Eunuch Mo. Deputy General Wen closed his mouth tightly and could not say anything, so he could only accept the order.

The person was personally sent to Chu Yunning by Eunuch Mo. After briefly explaining the purpose of the trip, Chu Yunning frowned and sighed that Emperor Mingwen would cause trouble for himself in one day. This thorny head is hard to deal with. He was almost writing the word "disobedience" on his face with his neck straightened.

"Chu Shanggong, the emperor said that in the past half month, you will be considered as Vice General Wen and an ordinary person. There is no need to be restrained. There is a support from the emperor to make decisions on everything."

Having said that, Chu Yunning didn't have the intention to train Deputy General Wen, but the imperial edict was issued, so Chu Yunning had to nod.

When Eunuch Mo left, Chu Yunning glanced at Vice General Wen, who was holding his face, and did whatever he should do without saying a word.

Chu Yunning approached the shed, bent down and lifted the straw, reached out to touch the moisturization of the soil, and found that the soil was a little dry and hard: "Bixiu, the temperature here is not enough, so I'll add a few more stoves."

Bixiu immediately took out a notebook and wrote it down.

"Doing around, how can you grow green vegetables in winter?" Deputy General Wen hummed.

Bi Xiu looked at Deputy General Wen, who looked like Guan Gong with a dark face, and said angrily: "That's because you have a short knowledge. If you haven't seen it before, it doesn't mean you haven't!"

"You!" Deputy General Wen was confronted by a little maid and his face became even darker: "What a maid who is unruly."

Bi Xiu did not continue to quarrel with Deputy General Wen, but directly ignored the person and continued to follow Chu Yunning.

"Chu Shanggong, I have watered twice this morning, but I'm not lazy." The guard in charge of the greenhouse came and quickly came to explain.

Chu Yunning smiled slightly; "I know that the year is coming soon, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the moisture is still enough, and it is done well."

After receiving praise, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and shyly scratched his head: "I thought farming was the same as before in my hometown, but I didn't expect there was so much knowledge."

"Hmph, no one can bear to use such a good charcoal fire, but it is burning here for nothing, a waste!" Deputy General Wen hummed.

Chu Yunning looked at Vice General Wen’s mouth everywhere, and turned around and glared at him in anger: “The emperor said, I will be in charge of you in the past half month. If you talk about it, I will punish you to go out to stand guard!”

"You!" Deputy General Wen stared at him in anger, raised his hand and put it down fiercely, looking frustrated. Seeing this, Chu Yunning took back his eyes and continued to investigate the next greenhouse.

He lifted the curtain and a heated air came to his face. The guards guarding the greenhouse immediately stepped forward: "Chu Shang Palace, the ginger here will be harvested in two days."

The lush green leaves were stunned by Vice General Wen. He couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed them hard: "Is this ginger?"

A rough old man had only seen dried ginger. This was the first time he saw fresh ginger. He was used to seeing a piece of white. At first, he saw so much green. Vice General Wen swallowed his throat, bent down and pulled up a piece of ginger the size of a palm at the end.

Bi Xiu curled her lips; "Person Wen, now I know that fresh vegetables can be grown in winter."

This sentence seemed to be a slap on Deputy General Wen's face. Deputy General Wen's black face turned red and murmured for a few words, but he didn't even say a rebuttal. Bi Xiu felt very relieved.

Chu Yunning shook his head helplessly and smiled, carefully observed the growth of these ginger, and reminded him: "After harvesting, you must dry it with charcoal fire. There must be no moisture, which is convenient for storage and not easy to deteriorate."

"yes."

The third shed planted a lot of spinach and coriander, which was green and pleasing to the eye. Deputy General Wen was already in shock and could not speak. His eyes looked at Chu Yunning as if he was looking at a monster.

"What is the expression of Deputy General Wen?" Chu Yunning frowned. She didn't like being stared at by others so straightforwardly.

Deputy General Wen swallowed his throat: "Are these from Chu Shanggong?"

It's simply amazing.

"It was not planted by the lady, could it be planted by Deputy General Wen?" Bi Xiu said angrily. Deputy General Wen opened his mouth and said embarrassedly: "I don't mean that."

The next step is to plant greenhouse wheat and rice. The rice begins to cultivate the cultivation stage and it takes several days to raise the soil.

There were dozens of sheds. After watching the round, Vice General Wen was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

It’s all his fault for underestimating Chu Yunning.

This woman is simply incomparable to ordinary women.

"I've been troubled by Vice General Wen to guard this shed in the past half month. It's full of cabbage, and it will be harvested in a few days. It's just right to make cabbage for the soldiers." Chu Yunning pointed to a greenhouse behind him. The cabbage that could be seen in the naked eye had already taken shape.

"I can't guarantee that the soldiers can eat fresh vegetables every day, but I can only ensure that the soldiers can improve their meal every few days." Chu Yunning said.

Deputy General Wen nodded: "Sure, this matter is not difficult, so let me leave it to you. Isn't it just to control the temperature and give some charcoal fires to prevent these vegetables from freezing? But this charcoal fire is really a bit expensive."

"Don't worry about Deputy General Wen, the charcoal fire will soon be available." Bixiu said.

Her lady was already preparing to burn charcoal and supply all the tents as much as possible. Deputy General Wen didn't believe it: "This is not something that can happen overnight. I don't believe anyone can solve this problem."

"Director General Wen forgot that he just said that he couldn't grow vegetables in winter?" Bixiu reminded him.

Deputy General Wen was silent.

At this time, Eunuch Mo came and said that the emperor had something to look for her. Chu Yunning simply cleaned up and went there.

Emperor Mingwen asked directly: "How is Vice General Wen hasn't made things difficult for you, right?"

"How could the emperor think I can be made difficult?" Chu Yunning was helpless and funny. Does he seem to be easily bullied?

"Deputy General Wen is a big and sturdy person, and a good player on the battlefield." If General Wen hadn't been brave and good at fighting and loyal, Emperor Mingwen would have taken action based on his words in the afternoon.

Chu Yunning nodded and expressed his understanding: "Deputy General Wen has been stationed in the border for more than ten years. It is normal for me to be a little girl. Don't worry, the emperor. I will be responsible for doing things and will not make things too difficult for Deputy General Wen."

"Chu Shanggong, you misunderstood. The emperor is worried that you will be wronged." Eunuch Mo quickly explained.

Emperor Mingwen squinted his eyes at Eunuch Mo in anger, but did not explain anything, and continued, "I asked Deputy General Wen to go to your hands, not to vent your anger. Today there is a Deputy General Wen, and tomorrow there are other people who are not convinced. Deputy General Wen has always admired someone who is better than him. If you convince him, no one will dare to question you in the military camp in the future."

Chu Yunning was surprised: "Thank you for your reminder, I understand this."
