Drought: I Have A Spirit Spring And A Farm In My Personal Space

Chapter 31 Zhu’er Doesn’t Feel Wronged

Two days had passed.

When Chen Zhiyuan returned to Taoyuan Village, the land outside the village that was originally barren due to the drought was bustling with activity at this moment. The people who had passed the selection had already started to set up camp. The big pot at the entrance of the village was still steaming. Because of Chen Zhiyuan’s instructions, there were some pieces of meat and grease in the pot every day. In this year of famine, this was already considered top-notch food.

“Chief, you’re back. How are things with Military Governor Zhao?”

Wang Shan immediately came forward, took the horse in Chen Zhiyuan’s hand, and asked with a smile.

“Consider it done. In two days, you can collect the weapons and armor.”

Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile. Looking at the busy crowd in the distance, he couldn’t help but ask again, “Old Wang, how many people have passed the selection so far?”

“As expected of you, Chief. When you take action, you’ll definitely succeed. More than 260 people have already been selected. When some people saw how life here was, they immediately went home and pulled their brothers over. Word has spread. People are rushing here every day. Today, nearly 200 people have come.”

Wang Shan reported cheerfully. At this rate, in less than two days, there would be 500 people who could pick up weapons. With a little training, they could go into battle.

“Yes, keep an eye out. It doesn’t matter if the audit is stricter since there would be more people. As long as they are in their prime.”

Chen Zhiyuan reminded him again. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, “By the way, you can ask your brothers to calculate the additional registration for those who know how to ride horses. I want to meet them personally.”

“What do you mean… Chief, could it be that you were able to get warhorses?”

Wang Shan was extremely shocked. He quickly caught up with Chen Zhiyuan and asked him in surprise.

“I can get around a hundred of them. They’re all warhorses. Calculate how many people can ride them. I didn’t sleep much last night in town. Come to my house and tell me when you’re done. I’m going to rest for a while.”

Chen Zhiyuan said as he walked away.

Wang Shan, who hadn’t regained his senses for a long time, was left behind.

What did it mean to have around a hundred warhorses? Before today, he believed that even if he turned Qingshui County upside down, he would not be able to gather a hundred warhorses.

After all, warhorses were not ordinary horses that were used to pulling carts and goods. They were prime horses that had to carry a few hundred pounds and gallop on the battlefield. Qingshui County was not close to the grassland, and it was not a big county. How could he gather so many warhorses?

But now that Chen Zhiyuan said it, he could not help but believe it.

If they could really form a hundred cavalrymen, the difficulty of suppressing the bandits would undoubtedly drop by a few levels. Although warhorses could not go up the mountain, they were invincible on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. With a hundred cavalrymen, it would not be a problem to wipe out a few hundred mountain bandits on the plain.

Even if the bandits did not go down the mountain, the cavalrymen could be used to cut off the connection between the bandits and the foot of the mountain where they can pass information to the various armies.

“Oh my god… The chief doesn’t have a treasury in his house, does he?”

Wang Shan scratched his head after a long while and looked in the direction of Chen Zhiyuan’s house. After sighing, he turned around and began to instruct the bailiffs to pay attention to those who knew how to ride horses.

On the other side, Chen Zhiyuan did not enter the house directly. Instead, he went to the cellar and entered the system space to sign in. At the same time, he calculated the consumption for the past two days.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. Reward (20 Apple Trees], [20 Peach Trees) and (10 Grape Trees].”

“Ding! Reward (Three Time Acceleration Cards], [One Time Deceleration Card).”

Upon hearing the system’s electromagnetic voice, the system space immediately opened up an orchard. Apple tree saplings, peach trees, and grape saplings were already planted on it.

One hundred warhorses that had been leisurely grazing on the grass noticed the commotion and raised their heads.

The lead Ferghana Horse also raised its head and looked at the orchard warily. After realizing that there were no other abnormal movements, it snorted. The other warhorses lowered their heads and continued grazing.

“Use the time acceleration card.”

Chen Zhiyuan read out softly. The fruit trees in the orchard and the two spirit fields immediately grew rapidly.

It didn’t take long.

The ripe potatoes, wheat, and rice were all ready to be harvested, and the ripe fruits in the orchard were hanging on the branches.

Chen Zhiyuan immediately selected the farm tools. After harvesting this batch of crops, he planted them again.

Potatoes would be the staple food in the future, so one spirit field would specifically be used for planting those, while wheat and rice would be carefully cultivated for breeding. In the future, these things had to be brought out for planting when the spirit fields opened up or when the land and paddy fields were cultivated outside. He couldn’t be careless at this time.

Only the fruits of these fruit trees could be stored, then wait for them to blossom and bear fruit.

After doing all this, he took a quick bath in the spirit spring

Chen Zhiyuan picked up a few fresh fruits and returned home.

Inside the house, Wu Qiushui was happily telling Li Zhu’er and Lu Shuxue about what she had seen and heard in town in the past two days. When she saw Chen Zhiyuan enter the house, she stopped gesturing and stood up to greet him.

“Hubby, you’re back.”

Li Zhu’er came forward to greet him.

“Mhm, you guys continue to chat. Don’t mind me. These apples and peaches were picked just now. You guys eat first. I’m going to the inner room to rest for a while.”

Chen Zhiyuan smiled and nodded. He put down the fresh fruit in his hand and signaled the three women to ignore him. He walked straight into the back room.

Behind him, Li Zhu’er followed him in and said, “Hubby, I have something to tell you. What do you think of Miss Lu and Miss Wu?”

“That girl Wu Qiushui has told you what I said?”

Hearing this, Chen Zhiyuan immediately turned around and held Li Zhu’er’s hand as he said softly.

When Zhu’er took the initiative to bring up this matter to him, it was evident that she knew something. With one look, it was obvious that the girl, Wu Qiushui, had let something slip.

“Hmm… I guess so. Sister Wu is quite a simple person. She just says what she has to say. I think she’s quite easy to get along with. Miss Lu is also from a scholarly family. She’s educated and well-balanced.

“Of course, I have no objection if you want to take them in. Even if Sister Wu doesn’t mention it, I have the intention to do so. Not to mention that these two can help you, when you consider my feelings before taking in concubines, I’m already very satisfied.”

Li Zhu’er said slowly, her eyes filled with contentment and happiness.

“Zhu’er, I’m sorry. You must feel wronged.”

Chen Zhiyuan held Zhu’er tightly in his arms.

“Hubby, what are you talking about? I don’t feel wronged. You rest first. I’ll go out and tell Sister Lu and Sister Wu. Hubby, let go. Don’t let me become the laughing stock of the two sisters outside.”

Li Zhu’er said with a smile. She gently broke away from Chen Zhiyuan’s embrace and ran

out.

Chen Zhiyuan did not stop her and fell asleep peacefully.

With this virtuous wife around, it seemed that he did not need to worry about the rest of the matters. The only problem he felt now was that his house seemed to be a little too small.

If he really accepted Miss Lu and Miss Wu into his family, he would not even be able to give each of them a room.

Establishing his own territory seemed to be urgent!
