Chapter 412 Big Move
"The seeds I gave you are certainly not bad. Your Highness, just wait and see. This year will definitely be a bumper year."
Looking at Ye Jintang's confident look, Xiao Mo couldn't help but hug her and kiss her hard.
"Jintang, you are really my lucky star. If it weren't for you, my plan would have to be postponed for several years."
In the past six months, Xiao Mo felt like he was dreaming. All the plans that he had only dared to imagine were completed by him at the fastest speed. Looking back now, he couldn't believe that he had done so many things.
"I have a surprise for you later, but now you need to take a shower, change clothes, and have a good rest."
"Then come with me. I haven't seen you for such a long time. I have a lot to say to you."
Ye Jintang pulled Xiao Mo's rough big hand and placed it on her slightly bulging belly.
"You'd better recite the Heart Sutra more often to calm your mind, and stop thinking about random things all day long."
"I didn't think of anything, but since Madam said so, I naturally have to do something. As for the two little guys, I haven't talked to them for a long time, so I have to talk to them later."
Listening to Xiao Mo's twisted logic, Ye Jintang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She originally wanted to remind Xiao Mo, but why did he make it seem like she had invited him on her own initiative?
Xiao Mo took his time bathing and changing clothes until noon. After lunch, Ye Jintang took a carriage with him to leave the city.
"Where are we going? We have to leave the city?"
Xiao Mo was very confused. Ye Jintang usually stayed in the palace and rarely went out of the city. What happened today?
"You'll know once you get there."
After the carriage left the city and drove along the official road for a while, it turned into a small road. At first, Xiao Mo was afraid that the small road would be bumpy, but when he got there, he found that the small road was very flat and was no worse than the official road.
He was even more confused at this moment. Why did Ye Jintang go to such great lengths to build the road? Wasn't she busy with the planting of seeds and the distribution of grain recently?
But soon Xiao Mo saw the surprise Ye Jintang prepared for him.
From a distance, he saw dozens of horses grazing leisurely on the grass.
"Oh my god, Jintang, when did you build the horse farm?"
Xiao Mo became very excited. He had always wanted to build a horse farm, but there were always a bunch of miscellaneous things going on and the matter was kept being delayed.
“As the ice and snow melted and the grass began to sprout, I started to build roads and pastures.”
"How many war horses are there in total?"
"There are more than a hundred adult horses, at least thirty foals, and quite a few pregnant mares."
As they were talking, the carriage had already stopped outside the horse farm.
The spring in Ningchuan Prefecture is also extremely cold. A very large stable was built in the horse farm, and some pregnant mares and foals were in the stable.
The hay they eat comes from the space, and the foals grow very strong.
The two walked around the stable, and Xiao Mo excitedly kissed Ye Jintang on the forehead again.
“There are so many people watching.”
Ye Jintang gave Xiao Mo a fierce look. When would he change his bad habit of liking his relatives whenever he got excited?
"Haha, just watch it, I'm kissing my own wife, who dares to gossip?"
The shepherd was driving a group of war horses slowly towards the stable.
"Jintang, I want to choose a mount."
"Uh, isn't it good to step on the clouds?"
"Isn't Tayun your mount? It's not good for me to always ride your horse."
"I have black beans now, and Stepping Cloud will be yours."
Ye Jintang pointed to a pure black warhorse running in the front and said, "This is the new mount I just trained. Although it is still a cub, it will grow up in no time."
She still has several months to go before she gives birth, and by the time she does, Hei Dou will have grown up.
"Okay, then Stepping Cloud will be mine."
"Shi Bin and the others don't have a suitable mount yet. When can I let them choose a warhorse?"
"Any time. There are already a lot of adult war horses. You have always wanted to train a cavalry. I think now is the best time."
Since Ye Jintang said so, Xiao Mo naturally would not refuse. He immediately thought about it in his mind. He had already decided on the first leader of the Iron Cavalry, and decided to let Dong Wei do it, as he was an excellent rider and his horsemanship was impeccable.
Looking at the war horses running happily on the racecourse, Xiao Mo smiled like a child.
From now on, these war horses will be his sharp swords to conquer the world. With them, he will not frown no matter what kind of battle he encounters.
"Thank you, Jintang."
"Oh, when did you become so polite to me?"
"I feel very uneasy that you are asked to do so many things for me even though you are pregnant with twins."
Xiao Mo hugged Ye Jintang tightly in his arms. He had also seen other people's wives getting pregnant, and they were all well taken care of at home, but his beloved had to run around for him.
"I'm fine. I'm not as fragile as you think. Besides, I'm not that tired from building the horse farm."
Seeing Xiao Mo getting worried about her, Ye Jintang felt sweet in her heart. They were husband and wife and it was only natural for them to support each other. She just hoped that he would not betray her sincerity.
The horse farm was built not only to train war horses, but also to train many pack horses with greater endurance.
The pack horses produced in Ye Jintang's space can even pull one ton of cargo.
With enough horses, Ye Jintang was able to ship out the goods he had accumulated over the winter.
Soon the entire Ningchuan Province welcomed spring. In mid-April, the first batch of thirty pack horses loaded with goods walked out of the Ningchuan City's gate that was being renovated at a leisurely pace.
This batch of goods included medicine, wine, cloth and red brocade. It was the first time for the business trip, so Manager Qiao was worried and went along on the trip himself.
He didn't know how long it would take for him to come back, and Gu Wan'er was reluctant to let him go. She accompanied him all the way out of the city and past Shili Pavilion. Only then did she reluctantly watch the carriage team slowly disappear in the distance.
At noon, Gu Waner came to Ye Jintang to talk about the weaving workshop, and Ye Jintang finally couldn't resist his curiosity.
"Cousin, how long are you going to put off the matter between you and Manager Qiao? You are not young anymore. If you keep putting it off, you will become an old maid."
Gu Wan'er didn't expect Ye Jintang to know about this, and her face turned red instantly.
"No, I'm a divorced woman, how can I marry someone else? I'm ready to be alone for the rest of my life."
This is a scar that Gu Wan'er doesn't want to mention. Every time she thinks of her first marriage, she feels sick.
"It doesn't matter if they've been divorced. As long as Manager Qiao doesn't mind, that's fine. Cousin, you know Manager Qiao inside and out, so why not make a couple out of him?"
"this?"
Gu Waner was a little hesitant.
"Don't talk about this or that. Butler Qiao is not young anymore. During the Chinese New Year, someone wanted to propose marriage to him privately, but Butler Qiao rejected him."
"Butler Qiao is in his prime. Cousin, if you don't take the initiative, he will be snatched away by another girl. Think about it yourself. If Butler Qiao gets married and the bride is not you, can you accept it?"
After being reminded by Ye Jintang, Gu Wan'er lost her composure. She didn't even dare to think about how sad she would be if Manager Qiao married someone else.
"Thank you for your advice, Madam. When Manager Qiao comes back, I will take the initiative to mention it to him."
Ye Jintang pursed her lips and smiled softly. How could she let Gu Wan'er take the initiative? She had already told Manager Qiao about this matter and asked him to take the initiative. They would get married when he came back.
