Chapter 997: Many Gifts
She will have one million shi of grain every year in the future. As she has more land, the amount of grain she can harvest will increase, and there will be no place to store it.
This much grain certainly cannot be sold out in a year and will only accumulate. What do we need to do with these two million shi of grain? There is no place to put it, so it is better to release it for disaster relief.
Other generals also came to see her off. After hearing Zhou Guo's words, they were full of praise. No wonder the general wanted to adopt her as his daughter and loved her so much. She was truly an extraordinary person. If she were a man, she would have a bright future.
General Xu couldn't help but touch her head. This was the first time he touched Zhou Guo's head since he adopted her as his daughter. He couldn't help himself.
He sighed, "By accepting you as my daughter, Dad has taken advantage of me. Fortunately, you don't despise me."
Zhou Guo said: "I am the one who gets the advantage because I have the general as my backer. After I go back, no one in the entire North will dare to mess with me. I can walk around the North with my head held high."
General Xu nodded. "Just walk sideways. Your two brothers are still in the north. I'll write them a letter. When you are free, go meet them and ask them to support you."
I'm still afraid that Zhou Guo will be bullied in the north.
The North has not been in chaos in these years. In the early years, many big households were attracted to the North. These big households were not ordinary people. In the past, even they would not be taken seriously.
It is only in recent years, when the world has been in chaos and they are afraid of using fists to do their thing.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad. But with you as their banner, they won't dare to do anything to me. Besides, I have many friends in the North. They all give you face and have helped me a lot over the years."
General Xu laughed, "I know. They all say you are my daughter who was stranded outside. I don't know how this got out."
Other generals also came up to talk, "General and Young Master are obviously from the same family, both of them are very capable."
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Dacang's face turned green. How could they be a family? They didn't look alike. He, the uncle, and she were the family, right?
The generals all brought farewell gifts.
She is now the general's goddaughter and Zhou Dacang's niece, so the gift must not be shabby, and all she gives must be good things.
These generals have been fighting wars all year round and have accumulated a lot of good things, so they can still come up with some good things.
After competing in martial arts with Zhou Guo, they all felt that this young lady was cheerful and generous, with a good temper, and they liked her.
Give her the treasure in your hand.
"Sir, I don't know when we will see each other again after you leave. We hit it off right away. Now that you are leaving, I have to send you something."
"Thank you for your hospitality last night. Not only did you give us barbecue, you also treated us to wine. Thank you for calling us uncle. This is our greeting gift."
Give one and take one.
Before Zhou Guo could refuse, these people were stuffed directly into her hands. Later, she could not hold them all with both hands, so she hugged them instead.
He held his arms full.
There were jade pendants, rings, and jadeite strings, long and short, green and red, all of which the young ladies liked. There were also hairpins of various colors, everything.
They didn't even know how to find a box to put it in, they just brought it here so clearly, and didn't even know how to find something to put it in.
There was even one who gave me a few inkstones and two pieces of ink, "I haven't read much, but they all said these are good things. I don't have anything good, so this is for you."
Zhou Dacang couldn't bear it, so he asked Erpang to find a few boxes, put the fragile things in the boxes, and put the rest in the bag.
Zhou Guo sincerely thanked everyone. Although most of them did it for the sake of General Xu and her uncle, they did give her something, so she was the one who benefited.
General Xu watched with a smile on his face.
Her daughter is really popular, no one else can compare to her.
By the time these people had delivered their gifts, it was already late, and they had to rush out of the checkpoint before noon.
Zhou Guo rode a horse, the old man also rode a horse, Erpang drove the carriage, and they all rode horses during the Great Heat and Lesser Heat.
There were also three personal soldiers following him, so a lot of horses were used up.
Zhou Dacang also replaced their war horses, even the horses pulling the carriages, so that they could travel faster.
A group of people escorted them out of the camp. The generals and General Xu escorted them a mile away. Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "Dad, uncles, you don't have to see me off. You still have important things to do. I guess you still have a lot of things to do. Go back now."
General Xu nodded and said to Zhou Dacang, "Go and see them off. Send them through the checkpoint and come back."
I still feel uneasy.
Zhou Dacang was eager to do so.
It took more than an hour for the fast horse to get through the last level.
Zhou Dacang looked at Zhou Guo and said, "I can only take you here. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Take good care of yourself. No matter how busy you are, don't exhaust yourself. You always say that health is the capital of revolution, which is quite right."
Zhou Guo nodded, "I know. I will take good care of myself and my family. As for you, you are on the front line. Although the army is fighting well now, you still have to be careful. Swords and guns are blind. A fatal injury like the last time is enough. We don't need you to make much money. Those battles with spoils are bound to be dangerous, so stay out of it."
"What a child's talk!" Zhou Dacang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm a general, I can fight wherever I want. How can I shrink back? If I shrink back and don't do anything, how can I climb to the position I am today? Who in the camp will accept me?"
He got to where he is today by rising step by step based on his military merits. He was promoted so quickly because he was reckless and always rushed to the front. There was no one in the barracks who was dissatisfied with him.
The old man interrupted and said, "That's right. He is now a general after all. How can you convince the people if you ask him to retreat and fight? If the generals retreat, how can the people win the battle?"
Zhou Guo sighed, "I know. I just told you not to fight so hard, but I didn't tell you to back off."
Zhou Dacang said, "I understand. I promise I won't let myself get hurt. Don't worry. Okay, let's get going. I have to go back too. They are still waiting for me."
Zhou Guo took one last look at him, straightened his horse's head, and rushed out.
The old man glanced at him and ran off too.
A group of people followed the two of them and ran behind them. This time they went back, they didn't know when they would see each other again, probably two or three years later.
Zhou Guo raised the whip and lashed it hard in the air. The horse under him ran faster without even looking back.
Zhou Dacang watched her walk away until she was out of sight. He suddenly felt empty inside and turned his horse around to run back, muttering, "How cruel! She didn't even bother to look back."
He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, raised its hooves, and flew out. He had no time to think about anything else when he started running.
Zhou Guo didn't slow down until he ran far away and turned around a few hills. He said to the old man beside him, "Master, let's find a place to eat something. If we go back now, we don't know if we can get into the city before the gates are locked. If we can't make it, we will have to stay in the wild for another night."
