Shitou and Zhao San hurried back after a long journey, and with them came Elder Shan and the medical girl given by the palace.
The little old man was getting more energetic now, and he bowed to Song Liyun as soon as he saw him.
Song Liyun smiled bitterly, now the people of the Wuda tribe have special respect for him, for no other reason.
The construction of windmills, spinning machines and iron-making blast furnaces not only brought high status to the Uda tribe, but also rich supplies.
"Elder Shan, please get up!" Song Liyun wanted to help him up personally.
Elder Shan waved his hands and stood up in a hurry: "Young lady, don't move, old man, I will do it myself!"
How could he get help from Song Liyun, so he sat on the cushion next to him.
The medical woman also checked Song Liyun's pulse immediately. Seeing that her body was now stable, she went down to cook the supplements Mrs. Wu Ya asked her to bring.
Song Liyun asked the maid to bring snacks, fruit and milk tea to Elder Shan, and then asked how the tribe was doing.
Elder Shan smiled with wrinkles on his face and said: "When Madam got the news, she was so happy that she knelt down and thanked her for three days. She wanted to come over immediately, but the tribe also has something to do at this time, and it needs to be properly arranged."
Song Liyun nodded. She knew that the Zhenbei Army in Kara Mountain had basically withdrawn, leaving behind the mines and furnaces.
Those cannot cease fire and suspend business.
The only option is to let the surrounding tribes take people to support them. Although the output will definitely drop sharply, it is better than a ceasefire where the molten iron solidifies and even the blast furnace is scrapped.
Such an important place requires Mrs. Wuya to be in charge personally to feel at ease.
Even when Zhao Tingduo sent troops, Mrs. Wu Ya learned about the situation a few days later and just asked someone to send a message.
Now that Song Liyun is pregnant, if Mrs. Wu Ya comes, she must carefully arrange the construction schedule in advance.
Mrs. Wuya couldn't leave for the time being, so she asked Elder Shan to come and greet her on her behalf.
Elder Shan came here and brought not only wool yarn spun in the summer, carefully woven carpets, but also a jade spring.
Originally, Yuquan was serving Song Liyun in Mida City. Last year, she returned to Kara Mountain because her nanny was unwell and needed personal care.
Now beg the nanny to drive her over, it is more important for the young lady.
Yuquan had been watching Song Liyun eagerly from the side. When Elder Shan finished his reply, she came over and said, "Young Madam..."
Before the words came out, his eyes turned red: "When my mother and my wife heard the news, they were so happy that they pulled me and talked for a long time, saying that I must serve you well, my wife!"
In the tribe, the beggar gave her detailed instructions on what to do, from eating to sleeping. She just regretted that the two places were too far away and her body was not suitable for traveling.
Song Liyun was completely speechless. She was just pregnant, not terminally ill...
The busy early winter has passed, and snowflakes have begun to fly.
Song Liyun, wearing a snow fox coat, accompanied by Yuquan, stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.
Zhao Tingduo could still send a letter every ten days at first, but recently there has been no letter for twenty days.
The letter said that after a period of siege and pursuit, the Di soldiers in the mountains were captured and killed, and now there are nearly a thousand trapped animals still fighting.
Zhao Tingduo also said that he should be able to come back in another month.
But Song Liyun always felt that something was wrong.
Three thousand cavalry is not a small number, and it is impossible for the royal court on Xuyang Prairie to just ignore these people.
However, more than two months have passed, and it doesn't look like bait.
Are these three thousand people really a tribe that was dispersed and expelled by the royal court?
In addition, both the Muhan tribe and Jian Fangtong discovered that there were many strangers wandering on the Gobi Desert in the direction of Xuyang Grassland. Although they avoided them as soon as they saw them, there were more and more strangers, and they were getting closer and closer.
This situation often happened after the war in Xuyang Grassland.
With Zhao Tingduo patrolling with cavalry, he was not nervous, but now that Lei Ziying was away, Song Liyun had to think more.
Therefore, Song Liyun shortened this year's slaughtering season.
If tribes that are far away cannot deliver beef and mutton in time, they freeze and air-dry them first, and they can be purchased later when they are sent to Mida City.
The slaughtering season ends in a hurry, and the caravans in the city have to gather and leave together.
Many people have already begun to pack their things and prepare for the thousand-mile return trip. Apart from what they usually transport away, their real wealth in a year is on this trip.
The dried meat, leather, wool, gems, felt carpets, horn products and other goods received from the grassland were piled up like mountains, and hundreds of carts were filled to the brim.
Lin Qingyuan also wanted to take the caravan back. He found Song Liyun: "Madam City Lord, do you want to go back to the Wu Dynasty? We will leave the day after tomorrow. If you want to leave, we will be on the same road, so we can take care of each other!"
He was also aware of the abnormalities in the Gobi Desert. There were not enough guards in Mida City, Zhao Tingduo was not around, and Song Liyun was pregnant, so he should not be frightened.
Moreover, no matter how abundant food and grass are in Mida City, the medical center is not as good as that of the Wu Dynasty, and the production environment is even worse.
Lin Qingyuan wanted her to go back to Ruijin Town to wait for the birth, so that she could go with him.
Song Liyun shook her head at Lin Qingyuan's invitation, she would not leave.
In normal times, she might go to Hecheng, where there are doctors from Tai Hospital, who are more reliable than medical women.
The situation is different now. This is her hard work, how can she give up so easily.
Although there are not many guards in Mida City, the surrounding tribes are still there.
As long as they have their backbone, they can get together. If they leave, the situation will be difficult to predict.
Time flies and it's the third day. It's still dark, the city gate has been opened, and all kinds of heavy vehicles are coming out one after another.
Song Liyun, accompanied by the medical girl and Yuquan, went to the city gate to say goodbye.
Those merchants all knew the city lord's wife, and they all stepped forward to say goodbye as they passed by.
Song Liyun said with a smile: "Everyone is welcome to come again next year when the spring comes and the flowers bloom!"
She is now past the first trimester of her pregnancy, and with the care of the medical ladies, Wan Youyou and Lady Yun, her face quickly turns rosy and her whole body is full of energy.
A vendor walked up to her and saluted: "Thanks to the care of the city lord's wife, I have collected a few more furs this year. I must come early next year!"
Song Liyun smiled and replied: "It's a lie that Manager Wang is collecting fur goods this year, but it's true that he came to explore the road.
When you come back next year, remember to bring more farmers who can farm, I still have a hundred acres of land that needs to be leased!"
Manager Wang laughed: "I really can't hide anything from Madam. The summer here is long and the climate is dry. I want to grow cotton next year, and I hope Madam will leave more land!"
Song Liyun nodded: "Then it's a deal!"
Those grasslands were cleared, and half of the land was used to grow rice and potatoes. In the end, it was discovered that cotton was the best product.
This is another cash crop for Mida City to make money.
The caravan meandered away like a long dragon, and the crowd at the city gate gradually subsided.
Song Liyun sat in the city lord's mansion and opened the book.
Although the number of cattle and sheep slaughtered was relatively small this year due to lack of time, there are many businesses and prices have gone up. The income of herdsmen has not decreased but increased.
The leaders who came to hand over the accounts laughed heartily.
The city's taxes are sufficient, and with the payments for goods everywhere, there is still money left over even after paying the soldiers Zhao Tingduo took away.
Mida City's business is now on the right track, and it will only get better and better in the future.
Song Liyun had just turned over a few books when Wan Youyou came in. She first dismissed the maid who was waiting in the study, and then whispered mysteriously: "Young Madam, the thing you mentioned has been made, and now Mr. Yu is going to
There is a trial outside the city, do you want to go and watch it?"
Speaking of this, she looked at Song Liyun's belly again: "The explosion will make a loud noise. Will it scare the child in your belly?"
