This time, it was all used to supplement military pay for the military camp. The emperor also knew this. The money was not used to liaise with officials, but for the right path. The emperor was naturally very happy and satisfied.

Therefore, Li Chengze said that he wanted to open up a high trade route in Yunnan, and the emperor agreed. General Xu, as the main general, naturally could not go beyond him to do this, and he would be the first to do so.

It is up to him to contact other generals. This trade road will pass through many defense areas. It is necessary to discuss with them. We should not be stingy about the money. The matter is still in the preparation stage. General Xu came here this time for these few things.

came.

General Xu was the liaison throughout this matter, while Li Chengze controlled the situation from behind the scenes. The emperor acquiesced, but could not speak openly about it.

Just like the northwest, the veteran generals in the northwest can all get a share of the northwest trade route. What they have to do is to ensure the stability of the northwest trade route. 80% of the money is used to supplement military pay in various aspects. The imperial officers and soldiers alone have long since stopped taking it.

So this is also one of the main reasons why the emperor acquiesced that they made money, and the same was true for the opening of trade routes in Yunnan.

There used to be a ready-made trade route, but because the officials in Yunnan did not do anything, they only made money. The emperor took it back when he was angry, but everyone was not united. It was like a link in the lock was missing and could not be connected. As a result, it finally fell apart and everything was gained in vain.

Those caravans.

Now we need to pick it up and reintegrate it. In addition to the share needed for the military camp, everyone can share a little, and the rest must be paid to the national treasury.

The profits of Shangdao are very high, so everyone is willing to share a piece of the pie. General Xu is contacting and planning this matter.

While treating diseases and recuperating the body, she was busy with government affairs. More than two months passed in the blink of an eye. General Xu had almost done most of the things. Huilan's belly was more than three months old. Although she did not show her pregnancy, she was still pregnant.

Pregnancy image.

However, she ate a lot of spiritual food and was healthy and rosy. Almost all the soldiers in the mansion nursed her back and received good treatment. Doctor Xu became more and more skilled in her skills.

Li Chengze is back, and General Xu has almost recovered. All that's left is to take medicine and take medicinal baths. He can go back to the military camp to recover slowly. He can't leave the military camp for too long.

"Madam, I am a rough person and I don't know how to be obedient, but everything you have done for me and the soldiers will be remembered in our hearts. Please take care of yourself."

General Xu solemnly saluted with clasped fists and a respectful attitude.

"Take care, madam!"

The soldiers clasped their fists in unison and saluted, very respectfully.

Huilan returned the gift, "Everyone, take care. I hope everyone can return home safely. Your relatives at home are still waiting for you to return."

Without saying a word, the soldiers turned around and lined up to follow General Xu back to the military camp. Soldiers were honored by wrapping their bodies in horse leather. They had their responsibilities and missions.

"General, I will go back in five days."

Li Chengze warned General Xu.

"Would you like to stay a little longer? It doesn't matter if I'm here."

"No, I want to get down to business. When Lan'er gets pregnant, I'll spend more time with her during the birth. That's when she's at her weakest and most in need of me."

Li Chengze had already made up his mind. It would be enough to have Dr. Xu in Yue Qian now. It would be inconvenient when Huilan gets pregnant in about eight months. By then, he should be pretty busy and can spend more time with her.

"Okay, I understand, I'm leaving first."

Huilan waved goodbye to everyone. She nursed and treated every soldier here, brought them the medicine they needed to take back home, and explained everything they needed to pay attention to.

Li Chengze brought back another team of elites. Dr. Xu was busy diagnosing their pulses. According to the rules, he still had to do his best to condition their bodies. It was not easy for these soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice to protect their homeland and country. Even Hui Hui

Lan poured out the medicinal materials, and the two of them were willing to do so.

Li Chengze helped Huilan into the house and stretched out his hand to touch her still flat belly, "Are you feeling well these days? Don't tire yourself. Just let them do what they need to do."

"I didn't do anything hard. I just accompanied Dr. Xu to check my pulse and give some advice. It's not my turn to do anything. Don't worry, my body and bones are strong. I don't even need to take anti-fetal medicine. If you don't believe me, just ask Dr. Xu.

."

She smiled proudly.

"That's good. I'm relieved that you're safe."

Li Chengze touched her little face and took a long breath. Seeing her warm and cheerful smile, all the fatigue was swept away, and all the efforts were worth it.

"You are tired, let me rub it for you."

Huilan thoughtfully wanted to help him relax.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not tired at all. It's just that there are too many things and I'm a little irritated. I won't feel tired anymore when I see you doing well."

"You are so sweet, there is no reward."

Huilan giggled.

"There is a letter from the capital, and the Ding family has also written to you. Take a look."

Every month, letters come from the palace and the Ding family. The father and son of the Ding family send more greetings. In the palace, it is the Qian family who talk about their children. They are worried that Li Chengze will forget their children and become mothers. Why?

It’s not an exaggeration for your own children to strive for their father’s love.

Huilan read the letter and smiled, "My brother said that my sister-in-law's fetus is stable, everything is fine, and there is nothing serious at home.

My cheap sister finally came to her senses after being severely beaten several times, and she behaves a lot now. It is said that the first time she went out, she was laughed at, saying that she was acting like a concubine, and I don’t know who she learned it from.

When my sister-in-law found out, she told her in private that I beat my aunt on purpose, and everyone understood. She said Manxuan was ungrateful, but she didn't doubt the Ding family's upbringing."

Li Chengze put it down after reading the letter from the palace, "Your sister really needs a lesson, but I'm curious how she changed her mind so quickly."

"Because her mother-in-law was more powerful. Not only did she attack her son in all aspects, but she also gave her son a concubine who was very talented and well-educated. Only then did Manxuan come to her senses and no longer use shit as gold."

Huilan also burst out laughing. So what if it's a good marriage? She can't seize happiness even if she doesn't have the ability. She can't blame others. If her husband wasn't disappointed, why would he agree to take a concubine? Moreover, it's still the first year of marriage, so there are usually rules.

People can't agree to this.

"No wonder, I don't think your brother-in-law is a good person. Even if the legitimate wife makes a mistake, she won't have to take a concubine in the first year. She has to be given a few chances anyway."

"That's the truth, but it's also the main reason why Manxuan can't catch the man's heart and makes mistakes repeatedly. Moreover, she and I don't have a good relationship. Originally, it was Manxuan who could benefit the most, but she was not as good as the sisters in the clan.

Yes, it’s strange that my mother-in-law is so happy, why would a man just agree to it?"

"That's right, men tend to be obsessed with powerful men. Forget it, you won't marry him anyway. It has nothing to do with you whether he is good or bad. He is not worthy of you."

Li Chengze shook his head and didn't care whether Manxuan lived or died.

"Ze Lang, I'm almost four months old. The baby will start to move soon. Can you read to the baby? Talk to her. I'll kiss you when the baby is born."

Huilan was actually coaxing him to play, just to get him closer and look forward to the birth of this child.

"Did you say that? Okay."
