Frosting made from sugar cane is still a rarity in the north, but various maltose and hawthorn sugar are available, and even sold in summer.

Wang Ju asked the Zhu family to bring a lot of maltose.

However, even when he boiled the maltose and put it in goat's milk, Erniu and Sanniu were still not used to drinking. Wang Ju had no choice but to learn to make butter tea with Hu Heizi. But Erniu and Sanniu are still not used to drinking, although Wang Ju changed the butter tea from salt to sugar.

"Drink, little sister, little brother, you see I don't like to drink it either, but in order to grow better, I have to drink it. If you don't have a good body, you will get sick. ”

Some time ago, there was a spring rain, and Sanniu was drenched in the rain and had a little cold, which scared Wang Ju a lot.

In this era, medical treatment is very expensive, and the medical technology is still very backward, even if it costs money, God knows what inexplicable prescriptions those doctors prescribed?

It's mainly about the body.

If you are well and have resistance, even if you are sick, it will not be so dangerous.

Why is it that every time Zhu Qing sees Wang Ju's brothers and sisters, they are very cleanly dressed and hygienic, they are so poor that they are fatal, so it is best not to get sick.

Finally persuaded his younger brothers and sisters to drink butter tea, and a new day began, Wang Ju opened the sheepfold and drove the sheep to the river beach. There were so many sheep in the stockade that before the grass grew, they gnawed it all.

A few sheep greedily rushed over the fence to gnaw on the reeds that had just sprouted.

It was quiet in the stockade.

The government drained fifty laborers at once, and even the second uncle was transferred to pave the road, and the guide zhì village even had to stop casting swords.

The rest are laboring.

Wang Ju still relied on the harvest of the sky as he did last year, planting grass seeds, occasionally bringing water for irrigation, or planting beans and sorghum seeds, and occasionally hoeing grass, and that's it. Even though he was starting to give birth, he was still very young, only a fourteen-year-old boy.

If you don't have enough strength and your mind is not on it, it's impossible to work as intensively as other villagers.

The weather at the end of February is lovely, with spring clouds hanging low and the weather neither hot nor cold.

Wang Ju sat on the stone and read.

Suddenly, Zhu Qing rode a donkey out of breath and came to the Hunzhou River to find him. Before the donkey could stop, he turned over and rushed towards Wang Ju.

Wang Ju was taken aback: "Steward Zhu, what happened?" ”

"Xiaolang, something is not very good, Dong Weng heard a news from the officers and soldiers of Luping in Western Xia, saying that the Western Xia army on the other side of the Great Wall Ridge wants to do something to your stockade."

"How is that possible?"

The most difficult time north of the first line between Yanzhou and the security army was the period after the Jinmingzhai was breached, and it became an undefended area. Even after Chong Shiheng built Qingjian City, he had to rely on the Qiang tribe to send news to defend it.

However, with the construction of a series of forts, regardless of whether the tactics of this fort were good or bad, the situation in Yanzhou began to improve. Just like Wangjiazhai, there are Weilin Village, Ansai Fort and Long'an Village in the east and northeast, Zhao'an Village in the southeast, Baoan Military City in the southwest, and Shunning Village in the west, and these forts form an effective defense.

Besides, although Wangjiazhai is on the front line, the Xixia people sometimes come to the border to plunder, but it is not the real front line, in front of it there are Qiang people such as the Guiniang people, these Qiang people also belong to the Song Dynasty, although the court does not dare to collect taxes, but they are nominally obedient to the Song Dynasty. Don't look at the large-scale private businessmen on the border, they are all bribed officers and soldiers who deliberately let them go.

If you want to break through Wangjiazhai, at least the current Wangjiazhai is not easy, at least a few hundred officers and soldiers have to be sent over, but how can hundreds of enemies want to pass through these Qiang people and the officers and soldiers on patrol?

And there's no reason for it.

Yes, the situation in Wangjiazhai has improved, but like him, it is just a trend.

The sword was sold three times, and some money was divided, but the money was put into the sword for defense, and the rest of the money was either used for the family, or for the purchase of lambs, or for other purposes, and all was spent.

If you don't have wealth, what's the point of attacking a common people's village in Wangjiazhai?

"It is said that they heard that you have made a lot of money by forging swords in your stockade." Zhu Qing said the reason.

"That is rich?"

"But people don't think so."

In that case, there is a good chance that this message is true.

Although there are officers and soldiers stationed in various forts, but these officers and soldiers really work? and not against them. Maybe Wangjiazhai was wiped out by the Tanguts, and no one reported it to the court.

"And there is also labor...... "Wang Ju's eyes finally showed worry.

The Xixia people didn't know that the village had a simple defense system, and they didn't know that the village bought a lot of bows and arrows, built a large number of weapons, and took time to train troops.

But there are still a lot of hidden secrets behind this news, and Wang Ju looked at Zhu Qing fixedly.

"It may have something to do with the Zhu family." Zhu Qing didn't hide it, this young man was a demon, and he took the initiative to admit that he could win his favor.

"Can you find that person?"

"I haven't found it, but it's pretty much there. Everyone is in private goods, and some grievances are unavoidable, but they will not be endless. There are not many families who really have mortal enemies, the Zhu family has a mortal enemy, and the Zhao family also has a mortal enemy. These two are the objects of suspicion. But this time, the big man suspects that they may be targeting you. ”

"Me?"

"Xiaolang, you are not the same you as last year, and because of you, someone's plan to sabotage the joint relationship between Zhao and Zhu failed, and he will be annoyed and angry when he thinks about it."

"Then you have to do something to the whole village...... Wang Ju stopped before he finished speaking, the world is as black as a crow, if there is no oneself, the Zhu family may not have that good heart, what is the poor and sour people in a small village. And then there's the evidence.

"How many enemy soldiers will come?"

"I don't think there will be much, it seems that there will be a group of colliding Linglang."

Bang Linglang is the army of the Han people in Western Xia, and generally cooperates with the capture army to come to the Song Realm to burn and kill, plunder, or be cannon fodder in front. But don't blame those Han people, the Song Dynasty lost the northwest, Lingzhou, Yanzhou, as well as Nanheng Mountain, Douling, Kill Ling, Quwu Mountain, Tiandu Mountain......

So the group of colliding orders did evil and defeated the party army.

Or like the future Liang family!

"What if I report to the government?"

"It's just a hearing, how do you report it to the government? Even if it is reported to the government, the Western Xia army is coming, what will the officers and soldiers do? ”

The nearest fort from Wangjiazhai is the fence village, it is a relatively small fort in Yanzhou and the security army villages, and there are not many officers and soldiers stationed, but a battalion of officers and soldiers, less than 500 people, if you throw away the empty consumption (the general for corruption, report his name without anyone, called empty consumption, the most prominent in the late Northern Song Dynasty, often a battalion of officers and soldiers have four or five hundred people to lead the army, the actual number may be less than two hundred), the number of troops will be less.

Even if they saw the Western Xia army coming, most of them would first shrink in the encircled forest village, and then inform the security army city and Yanzhou, and after the big men made a decision, the Western Xia people would have already burned and retreated.

"Hold on......" Wang Ju couldn't help but smile bitterly.

How can it be the same, it is obviously a big country, but it has been mixed again and again by a group of small countries and even a group of barbarian tribes.

"What do you mean ......?"

"Dong Weng means it's better to prepare for defense earlier."

"How to defend it?" Wang Ju asked.

Don't look at the walled wall, but this is not a few zhang high wall, it is more than six feet high, and it can be climbed without a siege ladder.

Although the fighting power of the collision Linglang is weak, they are not black bee thieves who hide their traces, and they must be fully armed in order to fight after they come.

Worse still, fifty laborers were taken from the village.

"The outsider said that he was going to send twenty men to help you, and also to support a batch of bows and arrows, and he spent some money to let the people on the other side of the mountain listen to the news......"

This is the advantageous place, if there is no excess, it depends on how Wang Jiazhai and Wang Ju deal with it.
