Madam Ma-Liu was very happy to see her bring back so many things. Touching the iron plow with her hand, she said, “This was left behind by your uncle. It’s been used for 11 years. I didn’t expect to find this thing again.”
Madam Ma-Liu put the things aside and said, “Since there’s an iron plow, let’s start plowing the soil after we burn all the weeds in the field.”
Of course, Mu Yangling agreed.
The next day, the four of them set off to burn more than 20 acres of land. After noon, they went to set up a firebreak. When the Hu family saw this situation, they were secretly tempted. After the Mu family finished burning this piece of land, Old Hu walked on the edge of the field. As he looked at the black ashes that did not go beyond the firebreak, he said with a sigh, “This is a good method.”
“Why don’t we ask them? If we don’t ask in detail, I won’t dare to set fire to it.”
Old Hu nodded thoughtfully.
However, before the Hu family could ask, Qi Haoran rode his horse to look for Mu Yangling. “I heard that you saved a lot of effort by burning all the grass in the fields.”
“Easy for you to say. I’ve spent several days setting up a firebreak. If I’d set fire directly, the fire would probably have spread to your camp.”
Qi Haoran’s eyes lit up. “That means there’s a way to burn it. Tell me and let others learn from it. Fan Zijin said that we haven’t gotten the farming tools yet. I’m afraid the sowing of the crops in spring will be delayed and the rations will become a problem. If there’s a good way, you’ve got to share it with me.”
Mu Yangling’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go. Bring me to the fields. Since you said so, I’ll tell you whatever I have in mind. However, I can’t promise that it will work. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”
“Alright.” Qi Haoran originally only wanted to train his troops, but two days ago, he went back and saw that Big Brother was so anxious about the rations that dark circles had appeared. Also, he almost fought with a few generals from Xingyuan Prefecture. Coupled with the emphasis on the importance of rations in the art of war, he felt that he could not relax.
Among the farmers, Qi Haoran was most familiar with Mu Yangling, so he naturally came to her immediately.
