"It's here. Take turns to rest." In the forest, Jiang Chuan led the team to their destination.
Some of them sat down on the spot while others went into the forest to keep watch.
The remaining people searched for things with Jiang Chuan. Nantian Fan followed beside Jiang Chuan and studied hard.
Nantian Fan looked exhausted. After the battle, he was in a fatigued state.
If it was just traveling, he would still have plenty of stamina.
"Looking for grass to eat? I know a few that can be eaten. "Nantian Fan saw Jiang Chuan sniffing the grass and thought that he wanted to eat it.
"If you're going to spend the night, you have to prevent mosquitoes from biting you. Let's see which grass can repel mosquitoes. There's wormwood. Not bad."
Jiang Chuan found a few types of grass and began to collect them in large quantities.
"Dry them and smoke them?" Nantian Fan knew that grass could smoke mosquitoes.
"Squeeze out the juice and smear it on your body. Won't others notice if you light it up?" Jiang Chuan taught Nantian Fan the way of survival.
"Not many of them can come out, right?"
Nantian Fan believed that 24 people and eight people were all that the Yoshimura family could send out.
There was only one Yoshimura family that could still send people.
"Never place your hopes on the enemy making a mistake. Treat the enemy as an existence like you. Only then will you not suffer."
Jiang Chuan continued to teach Nantian Fan. These were all lessons learned in blood. Some of his brothers had been careless and died in the battle in Song Zhou.
What was the use of more compensation? Family members hoped that their loved ones could live.
If they died because they were not prepared, it would be such an injustice!
"You guys are amazing. Your family members get a lot of food, right? If one person is a soldier, the family can get seven bushels of rice a month? Eight bushels? "
Nantian Fan noted it down and began to inquire about the treatment of the Winged Knights.
For example, the people hired by the Nantian family were given four bushels of rice a month. The hired people ate at the Nantian family.
How could the Winged Knights not get seven or eight bushels? The Winged Knights wouldn't do it if they gave less.
"Carry it." Jiang Chuan bundled the grass he had collected and handed it to Nantian Fan.
He collected it again. "Some of the things we get from our family are fixed, and some are unknown.
The fixed ones are 30 catties of meat, five catties of oil, 20 bushels of different grains, five catties of salt, a bolt of silk, three bars of soap, one bar of soap, and a pack of twenty candles.
He did not know how many of them were given by Dongzhu, by his brothers, or by His Majesty.
Under normal circumstances, it could be fixed at two times or more, sometimes more than five times, depending on the situation.
Most of the items were converted into money and brought back home. Only soap, soap, toilet water, and candles were given as gifts.
Oh, ink and paper. I'll give you these two too. My family needs to learn. "
Bang! The grass that Nantian Fan was holding fell to the ground. He widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.
"Hold it tight." Jiang Chuan picked up the bundle and passed it to Nantian Fan.
"Are you still recruiting? Give me half, no, half of half, and I will go. "Nantian Fan was tempted. The treatment was too good.
"You can't do it now. You're dragging us down. For example, there is a group of people on the grasslands to the north of us, the Later Turks.
If they organized 200,000 cavalrymen to attack the Tang dynasty, the generals and soldiers of the Tang dynasty at the border would not dare to attack without permission and could only defend.
His Majesty was unhappy and sent us out. We will mobilize 20,000 people to defeat the 200,000 cavalrymen and then chase after them.
The result will not change, and there is no possibility of us losing. "
Jiang Chuan shook his head slightly. Unfortunately, you … are far from enough.
"Can you defeat 200,000 cavalrymen with 20,000 of you? 200,000 … "
Nantian Fan did not dare to imagine how large the scale of 200,000 cavalrymen would be. He felt that he would be scared away by 200 cavalrymen.
Twenty thousand versus two hundred thousand, how was he going to fight? One against ten?
"Our weapons are good, and we are fast. In that case, each person has to ride four horses."
Jiang Chuan explained. Don't misunderstand. It's not like you can punch and I can kick. One against ten, we can't win.
"The Tang dynasty is too rich." Nantian Fan was depressed. He had seen toilet water, soap, and soap before.
To be precise, his family had them, but they could not bear to use them.
The clan leader did not allow them to sell them. If they did not use them, they would just leave them. Whoever sold them would be chased out. How could a family live without their family?
"Aren't we together? We came over because we have something good for you. We're giving you food. Many people of the Tang dynasty do not receive such treatment. "
Jiang Chuan comforted Nantian Fan. Don't hurt him. It's not easy.
"That's right. Our lives are better now." Nantian Fan was instantly happy again. They were on the same side.
Speaking of which, Kazuko was still the best. She had found a good husband. In the past, so many people wanted to marry her, but she had always rejected them.
Some people in the clan even said unpleasant things. Now, who dared to say anything?
"It's about time. Let's go back." Jiang Chuan gathered another bundle of grass and turned to walk back.
"I also want to go to the Tang dynasty to take a look. This time, many people in the clan are going over. Our family is saving on food."
Nantian Fan walked briskly. His stamina had recovered, and he was full of energy.
"No one from the Nantian family outside is returning to the clan?"
Jiang Chuan asked around. If there were, they might be used by others.
"They've all entered the clan. Back then, they left because the previous clan leader was not good enough. Everyone lived their own lives.
Ever since Lan Bao brought benefits, those who did not return would be thought by others that the Nantian family had abandoned them.
After that, they would definitely be bullied. When they return, they will only listen to the current clan leader again. "
Nantian Fan understood this aspect. Before Lan Bao's arrival, many people from the Nantian family had left.
It was something that belonged to the previous generation of the clan leader. Seeing that their lives had improved, the people who had left returned one after another.
Hence, there were situations where the children were young and had high seniority.
"Are they easy to manage?" Jiang Chuan continued to ask.
"They're obedient. Lan Bao treats the clan leader well. The clan leader's other sons-in-law used to be arrogant just because they had a little more food.
Lan Bao would always bring things to the clan leader and speak respectfully.
When others look at Lan Bao, they might not be afraid of the clan leader, but they don't dare to make Lan Bao angry. "
Nantian Fan's meaning was that Lan Bao had performed well, so the clan members could only respect the clan leader more.
"Our Tang dynasty is a country of etiquette. When our Dongzhu first met Lan Bao's mother, he treated her like his own mother. I am old, I am old, I am old, I am old, I am old, I am old, I am young, I am young. "
From the overall perspective of the Tang dynasty, Jiang Chuan did not stand out from Lan Bao.
He told Nantian Fan that Lan Bao was just an ordinary person.
"Does your Li Dongzhu have a wife? I have a younger sister! "Nantian Fan's eyes were filled with hope.
"Our Li Dongzhu married a princess. Do you think our Tang dynasty lacks women?"
Jiang Chuan dispelled the thoughts that the other party shouldn't have. With your looks, you have a younger sister?
Nantian Fan lowered his head again. He was so sad.
When they returned to their resting place, the others had also picked grass and were sorting them.
There were also people who picked up many edible mushrooms and opened them to dry on the ground.
"We can't start a fire. Mushrooms will be poisoned if eaten raw." Nantian Fan was not interested in mushrooms.
"Dry them and bring them back. Let's see which ones are delicious. In the future, when others pick mushrooms and dry them, we can load them onto the ship and sell them to the Tang dynasty."
Jiang Chuan did not look down on Nantian Fan at all. He gave the answer as soon as he asked.
They did not have to eat them now. The mushrooms would become lighter after they were dried. It was worth it to bring a ship back to the Tang dynasty to cook.
