While Li Ye was tearing the dried meat with his hands while cooking tea, the two kittens had already sneaked in.

From behind, Yueying covered Li Ye's eyes and said softly: "Guess who I am?"

Li Yele pretended to have difficulty guessing for a long time before replying: "I guess you are Mu Mu."

Mu Mu, who was sitting opposite, complained "cut" and looked at him with disgust and said, "You know that I have stopped playing this kind of game with you for a long time, you did it on purpose."

Li Ye smiled embarrassedly, ignored her, and pulled Yueying to sit down next to him.

He held her little hand and said, "Brother likes your change very much. Since the day you followed Mu Mu and me, my biggest wish is to make you a confident and happy girl, and to teach you how to practice."

Hearing Li Ye say such words, Mu Mu nodded at the place.

He smiled thoughtfully: "Brother is right, sister, don't worry. After a few years, Mu Mu will think of a way to get you a princess or something."

Li Ye let out a "pop" and couldn't help but spit on the ground a sip of hot tea that had just been drunk.

He smiled and said, "Mumu, don't mislead her. Are you a princess? It's good to teach her to practice well. When she arrives at the Golden Pill Realm like you, all confidence will come back naturally."

Mu Mu glared at him and shouted, "I'm talking serious. You interrupt me. Do you believe it or not. I won't go to class tomorrow. Let's go to open the land with you?"

Yueying sat beside Li Ye, covering her mouth and giggled.

More than a month after returning to Nanyun City from the wasteland, with the efforts of Li Ye and Mu Mu, she, who had lost her father for many years, finally became a happy girl.

Touching her black hair, Li Ye sighed and said, "I have been digging for a long time and missed lunch again. I am so hungry that I can let your mother stir-fry some delicious food later. I want to comfort myself."

Yueying nodded and was about to run to the kitchen. Li Ye grabbed her and asked, "Where is the ring I gave you yesterday? Did my sister teach you how to use it?"

Yueying nodded, stretched out her little hand, pulled out a red rope from her neck, and a space ring was tied to it.

Li Ye nodded and said softly: "This ring is indeed not suitable for you. When you return to the Imperial City brother, you will find a bracelet like Mu Mu. It will be more convenient."

Yueying nodded and ran out the door with her toes.

Before Li Ye and Mu Mu had two cups of hot tea, Nalan Yu came in.

Without waiting for Li Ye to pour him tea, he took a teacup from the table and poured it on and took a sip.

"Some soldiers reported that the frozen land was too hard and the efficiency of excavation was too low, so you could think of a solution!"

After drinking half a cup of hot tea and sitting down against the table, Nalan Yu started to talk.

Li Ye lowered his head and recalled the scene of being on the wasteland in the morning, thinking that the frozen land was indeed very hard when excavated.

Even if there are too many people, you can't dig much, which is a troublesome thing.

The weapons can be improved, but he has no choice but to open up the land. After the spring begins, he still expects to sow seeds immediately, and then he has all his heart to deal with the attacks of the grassland tribes.

Just as he was thinking about everything, he didn't expect to get into this troublesome thing again, saying that he was a little troublesome, which made him feel a headache.

Mu Mu, who was sitting beside eating melon seeds, raised her head and thought about it.

Looking at the two, he said, "I heard from Sister Yueying that there are also people on their grassland who can plant barley. Before planting, the tribe members would set a fire on the ground they were going to plant and burn all the weeds on it to be fertilizer. Could it be that the cultivation of this wasteland is not good?"

Li Ye and Nalan Yu were shocked. Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu and asked, "Where are the miscellaneous trees cut today?"

"It's all piled up on the wasteland, and there's no place to pile up!" Nalan Yu blurted out.

Li Ye nodded, pondered for a long time, and looked at Nalan Yu and said, "Change the plan and set fire to open the land from tomorrow morning and start digging the land in the afternoon. Refining the land for a day and training for a day. If there is not enough firewood, send someone to a farther place to cut it back."

When Nalan Yu heard this, he thought about it and applauded: "This method is good. It can not only melt the permafrost and also fertilizer the land. In the sowing of this spring, even less fertilizer can be added."

"Just arrange this way, let the army open up the land for a day and train for a day, which will also facilitate training scheduling."

Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu and smiled: "I'll ask my brother to arrange this matter after going back tonight."

For Li Ye, the formations in "The Art of War" given by Mr. Sun Tzu have been well-read and can be read at any time.

But the terrain outside Nanyun City limited his imagination. There were not many terrain for him to arrange troops from the three towns of Xiaguan to Nanyun City.

Especially outside Nanyun City, it was so narrow that he had to make plans on this acre of three-point land.

He believed that with the current moat that is ten feet wide, the plots on the ten miles of the wasteland, and the improvement of weapons, the cavalry of the grassland tribes can be kept out of Nanyun City.

The rest is to fight the battle, and what both sides consume is not only combat effectiveness, but also huge consumption of food and supplies.

He was confident that if the wasteland outside Nanyun City was reclaimed, the food and grass alone could solve the problem of a large number of 100,000 troops in Nanyun City.

Mu Mu looked at Li Ye who was silent and couldn't help but reach out and swayed in front of him, asking, "Are you stupid brother? Haven't you eaten some jerky meat?"

Nalan Yu also looked at him nervously.

Li Ye chewed the jerky meat and looked at the two of them vaguely and replied: "When you two are fine, think about it, how can you help me win this battle?"

Nalan Yu was stunned and looked at him and smiled, "We are only responsible for executing according to your wishes. How can I have any good ideas?"

Mu Mudi nodded and said, "Brother is right. We only know how to think about war. Brother, don't ask us any questions."

When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but reach out to pat Nalan Yu.

"Don't bother me with useless things all day long. In a few days, it will be the New Year. After the New Year Festival, you will be fourteen years old."

I glanced at Mu Mu and thought about how the cute girl turned into a little witch as she grew up?

Shaking his head, sighed secretly, and thought of the young lady from the Royal Academy.

The girl who was so anxious that she dared to fight with her in the snow was separated for ten years and was actually infected with the secular aura she hated the most and became increasingly strange.

I didn't even feel like having a night at the Royal Academy and staying for one night to talk about the pain of lovesickness for ten years.

After thinking about it, I thought of the old monk in the Great Buddha Temple. All changes in the world are due to the consequences of their thoughts.

A thought arises, thousands of rivers and mountains, and a thought disappears, and the world changes.

Perhaps because I have experienced too much since I went to Tianshan Mountain, I have experienced too much separation at ages when I shouldn’t have separated.

So much so that in a moment, the mood of the past no longer exists, things change by people, and the state of mind has long changed subtly.

Mu Mu and Nalan Yu didn't know that he was thinking about these things. They each grabbed the melon seeds that Mu Mu took out from the table and started eating them.

......

From the next day, Li Ye and Nalan Yu led a group of soldiers to set fire on the wasteland in the morning, and piled up the cut branches on the snowfield to burn.

When we came to see each other after lunch, the frozen land had melted, and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on the wasteland, waving together to start.

The two of them worked hard with a group of soldiers for an afternoon, and it was indeed twice as many as the ones they drove out yesterday.

Yang Kaiyi, who came to hear the news, looked at the neatly reclaimed land on the wasteland and said with a smile: "Now digging deeper, even a few insects will freeze to death, and there will be a good harvest next year."

"I hope it's possible that we can win this war!" Li Ye couldn't help but smile as he looked at the newly dug out black soil.

"You are doing it yourself by the national teacher. The soldiers are greatly encouraged, and the pace of cultivation will not stop."

Yang Kaiyi asked someone to lead the horses for the two of them and replied with a smile.

"Tomorrow, I told the kitchen to cook more ginger soup in the morning and send it to the soldiers to get out of the cold. Don't get sick because of the land reclamation, and you will not lose anything."

In Li Ye's heart, maintaining combat effectiveness is also a very important link.

Nalan Yu took the war horse led by the guard and said to Li Ye: "I will say hello to them when I go back tonight."

Yang Kaiyi looked at Li Ye and asked, "Does the national master continue tomorrow?"

Li Ye nodded and smiled, "Put more effort, work for a few more days, give everyone a vacation during the New Year Festival, and take good care of their bodies to wait for spring and spring plowing and fighting."

"If the Khan of this grassland knew that you did not forget to fight with them when you were clearing the land, you would definitely be furious."

Yang Kaiyi laughed and walked back with Li Ye.

......

The next day...the third day...the ninth day, the ninety thousand army was busy outside the city for more than ten days and finally reclaimed nearly 3,000 acres of land.

Even the eldest prince couldn't help but feel shocked and said: "If these thousands of acres of spring and spring farming continue, at least half of the food and grass will be solved for the army. Even if we can stay with the army of the grassland tribes until next spring, we will not be afraid."

Li Ye looked at the neat rows of land and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a lot of people. If you rely solely on the people in Nanyun City, there is nothing you can do."

"This method is good. It seems that even if there is no war in the future, the garrisons in various regions can follow the example. Military supplies, food and grass are issued and the governments of each region can solve half of the problems themselves."

The eldest prince smiled and said that Li Ye was just a golden doll in his heart.

"If the generals of each prefecture know that it was my idea, it would be strange if they would scold me to death behind their backs."

Li Ye thought to himself, you really dare to think about this.

"It's okay, then I will use the will of the dynasty to see who talks too much."

The eldest prince thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Reading land and farming should not be just the responsibility of the people of the five regions. As the national teacher said, cultivating is also a kind of practice."

"I hope this will be the case. By that time, it will no longer be my responsibility." Li Ye grabbed a handful of soil and said lightly.

After fighting this war, he decided to return to Prajna Temple to practice.

Besides, Master Qingxu of Xuantian Temple is still waiting for him. The road to cultivation is still long, and he cannot spend all his thoughts on the struggles in the secular world.

"In another two days, it will be the New Year. Should the national teacher spend it with everyone?"

The eldest prince looked up at Nanyun City in the distance and suddenly said something.

Li Ye shook his head and sighed, "I don't know yet, I have to go back and ask Mu Mu. After all, you know my situation, and I still have a sister."

When the eldest prince heard this, he nodded and replied, "I forgot about this, so you can arrange everything yourself."

Li Ye glanced at him and continued with a smile: "Although she is from the grassland, Mu Mu and I both regard her as our sister. She has a mother. If Mu Mu and I leave them behind, it will be inappropriate."

Thinking of Yueying, Li Ye suddenly discovered this problem.

"If it really doesn't work, just call it together. In your heart, what level is there? There are not so many things on the battlefield."

The eldest prince looked at him and said with a smile.

Li Ye nodded and replied, "I have to go back and ask, and I will go back to you again."

The eldest prince sighed softly and said, "I thought that at this time last year, everyone was still peaceful. I didn't expect that the grassland tribes would do this."

Li Ye shook his head and replied lightly: "If they want to play, let's have fun with them, don't worry!"

The two of them looked at the cultivated farmland, as if they saw the harvest season for the coming year.
Chapter completed!
