Chapter 1072: Chapter 895, Harvest

News from Beijing, Daohua still often receives it, however, she focuses on current and major events, and matters such as the marital life of Yan Yile and others are not within her concern.

Entering August, the Gan State Guard gets busy with the autumn harvest.

This being the first year’s harvest, Daohua pays extra attention, personally supervising her subordinates to tally the yield per acre and the total harvest, busy beyond measure every day.

The five transformed terraced fields have now become the busiest spots in Gan State Guard, the crowd watching the bountiful harvest in the terraced fields, their eyes gleaming with hope.

Every year when Xiliang begins the autumn harvest, people from Xiliao start to come over and rob.

However, this year, the previously unstoppable people of Xiliao have been turned on their heads.

Xiao Yeyang divided five thousand cavalry into five squads, patrolling back and forth daily, any Xiliao people who crossed the border were executed on the spot, ensuring the safety of Gan State Guard and also training the cavalry’s combat skills.

Every day, the townspeople at the border can see the cavalry galloping back and forth. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Some townspeople were so moved that they shed tears, choking up: "Our military finally started to actively resist the Xiliao people." Instead of waiting for the Xiliao people to rob them entirely before showing up belatedly.

Ganwei Town, the second major military stronghold on the defense line of Gan State Guard, is now initially built, only the city walls are still being built taller.

Around noon, the soldiers building the military town surge into the town’s cafeteria in batches.

"Captain, it seems like it’s time for food, let’s hurry up too, if we’re late, there might not be any left."

On the city wall, Wang Wu cheekily approached the leader in charge.

Hearing Wang Wu’s words, the captain chuckled and glared at him annoyedly: "Kid, you must be new here?"

Wang Wu quickly nodded, pointing behind him to a few clan members: "We are all newly recruited soldiers, sent here today and started working on the wall right away."

The captain said with a smile: "Don’t worry, the military won’t short you of food, we always eat in batches like this."

Wang Wu looked worried: "Does that mean we only get to eat what others have left?"

The captain, ever amiable, continued to say with a smile: "Rest assured, you will definitely be full."

Seeing that the captain was easy to talk to, Wang Wu asked with a smile: "Captain, how did the higher-ups decide to build a military town here?"

The captain said as a matter of course: "Of course, it’s to defend against the Xiliao people."

Wang Wu wanted to ask more, but the captain slapped his own behind and stood up: "Let’s go, it’s our squad’s turn to eat."

Wang Wu, along with his clan members, followed the captain to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria, built next to the training ground, is quite large, fully equipped with tables and chairs, capable of accommodating a thousand people eating at the same time.

Upon entering the cafeteria, Wang Wu gazed curiously at everything inside.

Seeing this, the captain chuckled: "Master Xiao sympathizes with us soldiers for our hardships, specifically ordered the construction of this cafeteria and even provided tables and chairs, unlike before when after getting our food, we would just squat anywhere to start eating."

Wang Wu: "Master Xiao is really good."

The captain agreed: "Since Master Xiao came, our lives in the Border Army have improved, we used to starve often, now we can eat full every meal."

At this moment, they arrived at the food-serving window, and Wang Wu saw the captain pick up a large bowl from the bamboo basket, and followed suit with his clan members.

Seeing the captain approach an unoccupied window and hand over his bowl, Wang Wu quickly did the same.

Soon, a full bowl of food was handed out.

Three thick flatbreads and a generous serving of potato stew.

Seeing the potato stew, the captain was very pleased: "You guys are in luck, there’s meat today, let’s go sit over there and eat."

The captain led Wang Wu and the others to an empty table, sat down, then turned and fetched a bowl of vegetable soup from nearby.

Seeing this, Wang Wu hastened to do the same.

"How is it, the military food is not bad, right?" the captain asked smilingly, addressing Wang Wu and the others who were eating eagerly.

Wang Wu, with his mouth full of flatbread, said unclearly: "Not just good, it’s excellent. At home, I don’t get to eat meat even once a year."
