Chapter 597 The war is over
Maybe you will get some rewards at that time.
It has to be said that Yunhua’s plan was extremely good, and even Xu Han had to admire him.
And the fact was just as Yunhua had thought. After the imperial envoy delivered the gifts, the emperor was very happy and opened the letter of thanks written by Xu Han on the spot.
After reading it, the current emperor's hands were shaking and he said three "good" words in a row.
Then he immediately summoned people from the Ministry of Works to the palace to discuss matters. Half a month later, the people from the Ministry of Works finished the work. The emperor tried it himself and found that the effect was just as Xu Han had described in the letter. He was so happy that he gave them another reward.
Of course, these are all for later.
After the couple returned home, they asked Guo Daya to set the meal first. After finishing the reward work, Xu Han finally had some free time to ask about the war at the border.
Yun Hua laughed out loud when this was mentioned, "Hahaha, I forgot to tell you that the war at the border ended ten days ago.
Originally I had been running between the capital and the border, but since the border war went smoothly in the second half of this year, I haven't been to the border again.
Originally, I planned to come back in December to celebrate the New Year.
But later, because the war over there was about to end, I was delayed until now, and only set out to come back after receiving accurate information some time ago.
In this war, our Yuanqing Kingdom won a great victory, but this battle was indeed difficult.
If it weren’t for the support of various noble families and merchants in the later period, I’m afraid our Yuanqing country would really be gone.”
Lu Chuan was also very interested in this matter, "Please tell me more about it."
Upon hearing this, Yunhua started to talk a lot, starting from the cause of the war, to the invasion of the territory after returning, and then to how the current emperor used special means to make the aristocratic families voluntarily contribute money and manpower, and then to the later victory of Yuanqing Kingdom and the pursuit of the troops for hundreds of miles. He told the whole story.
After hearing what happened in the end, Xu Han and Lu Chuan were so excited that they wanted to go on the battlefield and kill the enemy themselves.
In any case, the war that lasted for three years has finally ended, and the lives of the people are finally getting better.
Yunhua then continued, "Although the war is over now, the negotiations between the countries and the compensation of the defeated countries have not yet begun. Your Majesty means that everyone should have a good New Year this year and all issues will be postponed to after the New Year.
After a month, the defeated country will come to the border to discuss compensation and sign a friendly treaty with General Qin.
The emperor also said that he would not let those small countries have an easy time this time. If they did not agree to the treaty, he would take advantage of their high morale to destroy them.
Hehe, of course, Your Majesty was just trying to scare them. Our country has been severely damaged after this incident. We cannot afford to start a war again without a good rest for the next ten years.
But the situation of several other small countries is not much better. After several years of natural disasters and wars, they have long been unable to bear it, otherwise they would not risk their lives to attack our country. "
Xu Han's lips curled up into a smile. "That's true. Our country can't hold on, let alone those small countries."
Lu Chuan also said, "From this perspective, there will be no more major wars in the next ten years at least. The barbarians in the north are well behaved, and the other small countries in the south dare not stir up trouble. Even if the other countries around them have some small ideas, they dare not act rashly.
We can't destroy the Hu people, but can we destroy the barbarians?"
Yunhua laughed and said, "Hahahaha, that's exactly the point."
The few of them talked about the war and the future.
Without war, every day in the future will be sunny and sunny. As long as there are no natural disasters, the people will be able to live and work in peace and their lives will become more and more prosperous.
It has been several years since Yunhua and Lu Chuan sat together to drink and chat like they did today. Xu Han would not spoil the fun, but instead accompanied them to drink.
The three of them chatted in the warm dining room until late at night, and the food was reheated again and again. It was not until Lu Chuan and Yun Hua were both drunk that Xu Han called for someone to help them back into the house.
Xu Han instructed the people who came to help Yunhua, "He drank a little too much tonight, so you should keep an eye on him at night and make sure he doesn't fall when he gets up at night.
Oh, and prepare some warm water for him. He might want to drink it when he wakes up."
"Madam, rest assured. I will definitely take good care of Taoist Yunhua."
Xu Han handed the man over to the servant and didn't ask any more questions. There was a drunk man waiting for him in the room.
Fortunately, Yunhua and Lu Chuan are both sensible people. Even if they are drunk, they can stay sober and will not let themselves become a puddle of mud.
After getting drunk, the two went to bed obediently and did not make any trouble.
The next day, as expected, both of them woke up late and felt unhappy with the hangover.
Xu Han asked someone to cook some white rice porridge and prepare sour soup noodles.
These two things are most suitable for people with hangovers. At this time, it is really uncomfortable to have an empty stomach and no appetite. A bowl of sour soup noodles to whet the appetite and a bowl of white rice porridge is just right.
After eating and drinking, seeing that it was time to meet with the county magistrate, Lu Chuan got up and took Li Wen to the gate of the county town to meet up with the county magistrate and the people from the county government.
Originally, the county magistrate did not need to go in person to measure the land, but in order to show his importance to Xu Han, the county magistrate personally led the team to the field.
The weather was too cold, and Xu Han didn't want to go through that, so she didn't go with them.
After a while, Yunhua also packed up his things and came to the front yard. "It's still early. I'll go back to the mountains first."
"Okay, you go back first. We will also go back in two days. When Yunyun comes, we will go back with her."
"Well, if there's anything, send someone to tell them. You guys should go back early too, don't stay here too long."
Xu Han waved her hand and said, "Got it."
After Yunhua left, Xu Han went to the temporary workshop again.
Today is December 23rd, and the delivery time is getting closer. We must keep a close eye on it today. The delivery will be tomorrow, and there cannot be any accidents today.
She hadn't been to the temporary workshop for two days. As soon as Xu Han entered, Juxiang came over with an account book.
Yesterday afternoon, Juxiang and Li Wen returned to their respective posts.
The same goes for the others, who didn't stay at home for long. These two days were the time to increase production capacity, and no one dared to rest for long.
"Madam, we have produced 2000 kilograms of sweet potato wine in the past two days, plus the 3000 kilograms produced previously, a total of 5000 kilograms of sweet potato wine.
Combined with today’s output, it’s almost enough to cover tomorrow’s orders.
But if we add some more retail as we mentioned before, it may not be enough.”
