Chapter 257
She had contributed thirty percent of the military funds. If that money wasn't spent on the soldiers and instead was embezzled by certain people, she would truly unleash her "thunderous wrath"!
Yu Boming gave a sly smile, showing a rare flash of cleverness, and said, "Don't worry, Sister. I listened to Grandfather and Father.
Besides our daily training, I've kept an eye on these matters at all times.
With your name backing us, no one dares to stretch their hands into this area."
The dozen or so sons of officials dined together with the regular soldiers, so no one dared to fool them with inferior food.
Not to mention that Minister Huo and General Wei frequently inspected the camp and ate with the soldiers, making it even less likely for anyone to dare try anything.
Seeing Yue Fuguang nod, he continued, "Following the methods you taught us, we built pigsties next to the military camp and raised dozens of pigs separately.
General Wei also took us into the mountains, and we caught over a dozen litters of rabbits to raise. Now the rabbits have multiplied to over three hundred.
There are also chickens and ducks. The camp will soon be able to eat the meat we raised ourselves."
It was only after raising them that he understood why his sister had suggested raising rabbits—those things just reproduced so fast, they really could breed!
As for the pigs, what he didn't mention was that a few days ago, General Wei had taken them to his sister's estate to snatch grass.
Yes, snatch. For over two thousand acres of land and three hillocks, a thousand people had actually shown up.
Having never done farm work, they were assigned to pull weeds. The pulled grass had to be put into cloth bags to prevent others from snatching it away.
He still remembered General Wei urging them repeatedly, "Move faster! We've agreed with the others: whoever pulls it, keeps it.
Brothers, whatever you pull is what you earn! But remember, it's better to be slow than to damage a single seedling, otherwise you'll face military law!"
General Wei, who was initially excited, had said the last sentence very seriously, even wearing a chillingly intimidating smile.
It scared them into scurrying away like rats.
At the time, he was specifically stopped by him, "Boming, you don't need to pull grass. You're responsible for patrolling around, not just on our side, but over by the others too.
If you find anyone destroying the seedlings, report to me immediately."
Later he found out that those weren't ordinary grasses; they were "nutritious grasses" that had absorbed the spiritual rainwater summoned by Seventh Sister and the others.
So when they went back that day, they had wild vegetable porridge, and the pigs, chickens, ducks, and rabbits also got a bonus meal of wild vegetables.
The way the animals fought over an extra bite of forage looked exactly like how the soldiers had fought over their porridge half an hour earlier.
Yu Boming couldn't help but smack his lips in nostalgia, then heard Yue Fuguang praise him, "Second Brother, you've done very well.
It's just that when you go to Sancha Land in the future, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier, but you must not neglect the soldiers' diet and ideological education."
Both physical bodies and minds must be firmly grasped and strengthened.
Hearing that more responsibilities were being placed on his shoulders, Yu Boming's face flushed with excitement. His sister had not only praised him just now but also showed her trust in him; how could he not be thrilled?
He began thumping his chest loudly, promising, "Don't worry, Sister. Second Brother guarantees to watch over Sancha Land for you."
Yue Fuguang also smiled and said, "Naturally, I believe in Second Brother."
The others couldn't help but chime in, teaching Yu Boming management experience on the spot.
"Little Zhu, do you still have any radio transceivers?"
[Master wants to use that thing for communication?]
"Yes, there is no spiritual energy here, so we can't use voice transmission talismans, and there is no signal, so we can't use cell phones.
If we want timely, fast, and long-distance communication, we can only use radio transceivers."
[Aren't there still Taxue and Wuhen? With their speed, a distance of a thousand miles would only take a day or two for a round trip.]
"Even though they are animals, you can't really just use them like beasts of burden!
Besides, what your master wants is instantaneous transmission over a thousand miles, which they cannot do."
Hearing this, Yu Chongshan and the others couldn't help but tremble their hands holding their water cups. Instant communication over a thousand miles.
Did such a thing really exist in the world?
From Fuguang's words, she had more than one kind on hand, but it seemed the only one they could use was the one called a radio transceiver.
The father and sons couldn't help but glance at the goofily smiling Yu Boming.
They had to admit, this second son really had the dumb luck of a fool. He was just going to look at a piece of land, and his sister had already thought of everything for him.
"After thinking it over, I still feel we need to equip that army with a radio transceiver so we can keep track of the situation there at all times.
Moreover, there is no other signal interference here, and no need to worry about being wiretapped, so I can even save the trouble of a codebook.
The two radios just need to send plain text. I remember the radios you have are solar-powered, so we even save on batteries."
The items she bought from the system mall, even if they were similar to modern items, were produced by the system kingdom.
Many drawbacks were optimized by the system, which possessed higher-dimensional technology. The quality was absolutely top-notch!
[Master, who do you plan to choose as the telegraph operator?]
"The telegraph operator for Sancha Land will naturally be Yu Boming. Once someone learns to send telegrams, no matter who they are, they will possess a core competitiveness in this Great Yan Dynasty.
As for our side, I'll let Second Sister and Fourth Sister learn first. As for the others, we'll talk about it later."
The loyalty of these two could be trusted. When it came to her own people, she couldn't help but want to give them a bit more of a boost.
Moreover, with this skill, they would have more choices for their future.
Sitting together, Yu Ningxuan and Yu Ningxin held each other's hands tightly beneath their sleeves.
Seventh Sister truly treated the two of them best. In the entire Great Yan Dynasty, only the three of them had such a rare opportunity.
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, the two sisters would have definitely hugged each other and cried.
They managed to hold back their tears, but Yu Boming couldn't. His eyes welled up, and tears were on the verge of falling.
Yu Shuchun glanced at his son, terrified he would give the game away. He glared at him and scolded, Did I say something wrong? How dare you cry!
Military training is important, but you cannot neglect your studies.
You must memorize the military strategy book your sister gave you backward and forward, and fully master it. If you dare to slack off...
Yu Shuchun raised his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and waved it in front of his son.
Although he was a civil official, he had the best martial arts skills among his brothers.
Even his son and daughter, Yu Boming and Yu Ningxuan, were the most physically robust among all the cousins in the family!
Seeing her husband scold their son, Second Aunt Yu felt as sweet as honey in her heart. Although their branch of the family had the fewest children, they had all caught Fuguang's favorable eye. How could she not be happy?
Madam Zhang felt fine about it. Now that Yue Fuguang was her daughter, as long as the children were successful, they could help their Fuguang more in the future.
In her eyes, Fuguang was a natural-born noble who should only need to move her lips while others ran their legs off for her.
Meanwhile, Fourth Aunt Yu, Madam Bao, looked at the flushed faces of the sisters, Yu Ningxuan and Yu Ningxin, feeling a surge of envy.
The two were Fuguang's older sisters and also her study companions; their bond was naturally deeper than the rest of the family's.
Nowadays, even the three brothers from the first branch couldn't compare to the affection between these two sisters and Fuguang.
Looking at her own daughter, she could only sigh inwardly.
Seeing Yu Boming scolded by his father so harshly that he couldn't even lift his head, his tears naturally went patter-patter down his face.
Yue Fuguang found it highly amusing, though her second brother's crying face was indeed a bit ugly!
In a rare moment of kindness, she bailed him out, saying, Grandfather, Father, Uncles, Fuguang has an item here called a radio transmitter.
It has the ability to transmit messages across thousands of miles.
