Chapter 1176 - 999 - s, I’ll support you in old age until your death
Xiao Moreng was astonished to discover that ever since his fight with Xiao Moqing, Daozi had become diligent and hardworking, not slacking off while practicing his stances or horse-stance. Several times, he had come to look for him to practice martial arts even before he got out of bed.
Was this his way of not admitting defeat to Xiao Moqing and determined to catch up with him?
Seeing Daozi so diligent, Xiao Moreng naturally didn’t want to lose to his younger brother. The two brothers silently competed with each other, chasing and outdoing one another in the martial arts training grounds.
Chu Lang, seeing the two children so proactive, was very content. Whenever he had a chance, he would praise them, spurring them on to practice even harder.
Time flew by and it was now August. The various regions of Xiliang started bustling with the autumn harvest.
Xiao Yeyang, looking over the reports of the autumn harvest from various estates, felt very pleased.
In recent years, almost all areas of Xiliang had planted potatoes and corn. With these high-yielding crops, the basic issue of food and clothing for the common people had been preliminarily resolved.
Furthermore, the natural salt lake that Mother and son Yiyi discovered in the Gobi Desert had now been put into production. Batches of salt were delivered to every estate, and the price of salt in Xiliang had dropped significantly, solving the people’s difficulty in obtaining salt.
Additionally, from the peculiar stone field in the Gobi Desert, various ornamental stones and jade were selected and processed, which he then gave to the merchant caravans of the Li Family and Sun Family to sell in the south.
A few days ago, the caravan returned and brought him a large sum of silver.
