Chapter 240 "Exchange Students"

Zhuge Jinyi nodded and looked around curiously, looking like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city.

As the brother of the King of Xia State, what rare things has he not seen?

But everything in Taoyuan City is so new and novel.

Soft and sweet bread, fragrant and crispy sweet potato fries, and fragrant braised meat...

Xia Country doesn't have these things.

If my brother could take over Daewoo as soon as possible, all of these would belong to Xia Country.

Zhuge Jinyi started to prepare a draft in his mind, thinking that he must write down everything he saw and heard in Taoyuan City for his brother to read.

About two incense sticks later, the tricycle stopped. Old Man Pan took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. "You two, we've arrived at the central area."

Zhuge Jinyi jumped out of the car, turned around and helped Zijun, who had not said a word the whole way, get out of the car.

He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "Old man, we have just arrived in your precious place, so we need you to take us to find an affordable and reliable inn."

Old Man Pan happily put away the silver coins and said, "Okay, okay. My family just opened an inn. You two can go and take a look. If you like it, you can stay. If not, I will take you to another inn."

Zhuge Jinyi put on his bag and said, "That's great. Thank you, old man."

Old Man Pan smiled and thought to himself, he didn't know whose family had let the stupid son out.

The inn was opened by Zhao. She accidentally saw a book called "Hotel Management" in Pan Yingying's small study, and was greatly inspired. She fenced off a piece of land near Chaoxinyuan, built a three-story building, and hung a sign with "Taoyuan Inn".

Since everyone in the family was busy and had no one to manage the business, Zhao had to do it herself and hired some diligent and down-to-earth people in the village.

Zhao was flipping through the account book at the front desk. When she saw Old Man Pan leading people out, she hurried over to greet them.

The room rate in the inn is not low. Only eight out of more than thirty rooms are occupied. It is so hard to have guests here, so we have to give them the utmost warmth.

Zhuge Jinyi curiously touched and looked around, and his sight finally fell on the small blackboard placed at the front desk.

[All rooms on the third floor: five taels of silver per night. ]

[All rooms on the second floor: three taels of silver per night. ]

[All rooms on the first floor: one penny per night. ]

The young man exclaimed, "Boss, your room is not cheap!"

Zi Jun's brows furrowed and he felt like turning around and leaving.

I always feel like I was dragged to a shady shop by that old man on the tricycle.

Zhao didn't explain, she just said, "How about you come upstairs with me to take a look at the room first, if you are satisfied, we can talk about checking in."

Zhuge Jinyi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If he was not satisfied, he could just not stay. He had martial arts skills and they were just two old people. If he did not want to stay, they could not do anything to him. He nodded in agreement immediately.

Zijun's words of refusal were stuck in his throat.

At first he had decided to come to Dayu by himself, but he didn't know where this guy got the news from, but he rushed over and insisted on going out with him to train. He had no choice but to bring him along.

As a result, it caused a big trouble and was difficult to manage.

Old man Pan stayed at the front desk, and Zhao took the two of them from the first floor to the third floor to look at all types of rooms.

Zhuge Jinyi became more and more satisfied the more he looked, especially the double room on the third floor. Five taels of silver was not expensive at all!

It is spacious and bright, with an independent bathroom. There is no need for the waiter to come in to get hot water. Once you enter the room and lock the door, no one will disturb you at all.

Unfortunately, Zijun firmly disagreed to stay in a double bed room. Under his insistence, Zhuge Jinyi had to book a twin bed room for four days.

After collecting the silver, Zhao took out two keys and handed them to them.

"If you two are just coming to our Taoyuan City for fun, you can go to the East District to experience making wool and knitting sweaters and scarves. You can also go to the North District to experience the joy of the harvest."

Zhao smiled, happy from the bottom of her heart.

Here come two more big fools who work for nothing.

When Zhuge Jinyi heard about this good news, he nodded in delight, "Okay, okay! I'll go check it out tomorrow!"

Zijun: ...It's simply unbearable to watch.

……

……

Kaiyang County.

The soldiers of the Wu'an Army were busy digging sweet potatoes in the fields.

Deputy General Qin waved his hoe and dug while reminding the people around him, "Be careful, Beizhu County is still waiting for our batch of sweet potatoes to make sweet potato flour!"

Another deputy general nearby said, "Young people are smart. They came up with sweet potato flour and ordered all our sweet potatoes for this season. Otherwise, we will have to eat sweet potatoes for a long time."

He has no problem eating sweet potatoes, but if he eats too much of this stuff, he will not only have heartburn...but also fart a lot.

Who can stand going to bed every night and smelling not only of sweat and feet, but also of farts?

"By the way, has our Marquis ever thought about setting up a sweet potato flour workshop?" The deputy general lowered his voice and looked around.

Apparently he also felt that this approach was not very authentic.

Deputy General Qin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who will manage the workshop? You?"

The deputy general wanted to say that he would take care of it, but when he remembered that he couldn't even do addition and subtraction within 100, he shut up in disappointment.

Alas, the entire Wu'an Army reads and learns to read every day, but after such a long time, no one has achieved any academic success.

After learning "Thousand Character Classic", I recognized the basic characters, but I was really lacking in arithmetic.

They haven’t even learned “addition and subtraction” well, let alone “multiplication and division”.

That damn "library" built in the military camp usually only has two or three kittens in it.

The higher-ups always promote the idea that “if you have culture, you won’t be afraid to travel around the world”, and if you think about it, there is some truth to it.

"By the way, Master, the Marquis said he wants to select a team of 300 people to go to Taoyuan Army for training. Has anyone been appointed to lead the team?"

The deputy general rolled his eyes and finally asked the question he wanted to ask most.

When Deputy General Qin heard that he had finally asked the key question, he straightened up and glanced at him, "What? You want to go?"

The deputy general rubbed his hands and smiled, "What you said makes sense. Who among us doesn't want to go?"

I heard that they have meat twice a day there! Anyone who doesn't want to go is a fool!
Deputy General Qin nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll report your name later."

The deputy general's eyes lit up, and he instinctively wanted to come over and pat his arm. Seeing the mud on his hands from digging sweet potatoes, he wiped it on his trouser legs in embarrassment, "Thank you, brother. Your sister-in-law asked someone to bring some dried meat that she made herself. Let's have a drink tonight!"

Deputy General Qin smiled slightly, saying everything.

After all the sweet potatoes were dug up and the last crop of vegetables was planted, a team was selected to transport them to Beizhu County.

Marquis Wu'an began to prepare for autumn military training.

After the list was made, the Deputy General Wei, who had "taken the back door" through Deputy General Qin, grinned and led 200 outstanding soldiers to the Taoyuan Army's base outside Taoyuan City.

Before departure, Wu Anhou specially encouraged this group of "exchange students".

"Don't leave my people behind!"

“No matter how hard or tiring it is, you must grit your teeth and hold on!”

"Don't cause trouble! Learn more and watch more!"

"..."

The "exchange students" carried dry food and walked out of Kaiyang.

There was no other way. The Marquis said that the Taoyuan Army had horses, so the Wuan Army's horses would be left to the brothers. They could just walk over and exercise at the same time.

Deputy General Wei: ...

Why do I always feel like I've been cheated?
