Chapter 1064: Chapter 887, Recruitment of Soldiers
After the Dragon Boat Festival, construction of the second military stronghold in Gan State Guard began.
Xiao Yeyang kept the construction of the military town a secret from the local guard; many officials had backing from other powers, and before regaining control of the Dan River, he did not want it to become common knowledge.
He understood that there were many in the Gan State Guard who did not recognize his authority; there was no helping it, even though he held the appointment letter from the Five Armies Capital Protectorate, his official rank was still too low.
Taking back the Dan River would be his first step in establishing a firm foothold in Xiliang.
“Why are you frowning again?”
Daohua, carrying a bowl of milk tea, walked into the study and saw Xiao Yeyang with a deep furrow in his brow, standing in front of a sand table.
Xiao Yeyang took the milk tea from Daohua and drank it in a few gulps, “Adding tea leaves to this milk gets rid of the gamey taste; it tastes much better.”
Daohua laughed, “I’m glad you like it. Since we’ve come to Xiliang, you’ve been busy every day. In the long run, even the strongest bodies can’t cope. From now on, you should drink a bowl of milk every day; it’s good for your health.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled, “I’ll listen to you.”
Daohua, still smiling, continued, “Do you remember those two black and white cows we bought? Let me tell you, we were really lucky. The female cow gave birth to a calf not long after we bought her, and then she started producing milk. The milk tea you just drank was from that cow.”
“This cow produces an astonishing amount of milk, about sixty to seventy jin a day, though of course, she eats quite a lot too.”
Xiao Yeyang appeared surprised, “That much?”
What do you think?
