The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

Meng Chunmei gave birth to Ling'er at the age of 16 and Fang Yu at the age of 17.

Ling'er is 31 years old this year, and she is 47 years old.

At this age, one is no longer young.

When she heard that Ling'er was about to give birth to her fifth child, her face was full of wrinkles from smiling.

Three years ago, Fang Yu and Luo Susu got married.

She later gave birth to a son, who is now two years old.

The boy's name was chosen by Jiang Yun at Fang Yu's request.

Jiang Yun named him Fang Minglong.

Fang Minglong often went to play with Jiang Defan and Jiang Deping.

Today, Meng Chunmei has five grandsons and one biological grandson.

I have no regrets in life.

Over the course of three years, Luo Susu and Ling'er grew closer and closer.

"Sister Ling is about to give birth! That's wonderful! I'm going to go see her."

Upon hearing from Jiang Yun that Ling'er was about to give birth, Luo Susu immediately took Fang Minglong to Jiang Yun's house.

Nine days later.

Ling'er gave birth to her fifth child very smoothly.

"A boy! Another boy!"

Meng Chunmei shouted happily at the first opportunity.

She seemed to have discovered that she actually had a talent for being a midwife.

Little did they know that it was simply because Ling'er was special.

"Jiang De'an, your name is Jiang De'an."

Jiang Yun said, holding the child.

The name Jiang Deping was decided when he was born.

May you be safe and sound, and may everything go smoothly.

"Wow wow wow."

Jiang De'an cried loudly in Jiang Yun's arms.

Jiang Yun had no choice but to let Ling'er hold her.

The moment it slipped from my grasp.

A pleasant surprise followed.

This time, Jiang De'an was born.

Jiang Yun accomplished two things at once.

[Congratulations, host, you now have four sons and one daughter]

[Complete the "Many Children, Many Blessings" final achievement]

[Gain 50 achievement points]

[Congratulations, host, on the birth of your fifth child!]

Complete the intermediate achievement "Prosperous Population"

[Gain 30 achievement points]

[Achievement: 190/200]

Jiang Yun glanced at the panel.

I couldn't help but be a little taken aback.

You're just 10 achievement points away from unlocking the next entry and reward.

This is so frustrating!

……

After Jiang De'an was born, winter quietly arrived.

Jiang Yun's family enjoyed a prosperous and lively New Year.

In the spring of the following February, the eleventh year of the Tianqi reign.

Jiang Yun and Jiang Dexian are working in the fields.

On my way home after finishing my work, I saw a lot of villagers gathered under a big tree, talking about something, and all of them looked worried.

Jiang Yun went over to take a look.

Fang Luyong, Fang Zeping, and Fang Yu were found in the crowd.

Even Fang Yongcai, a once uneducated rich young master who liked to visit brothels in the city, was among them.

"What happened?"

Jiang Yun led Jiang Dexian over and asked Fang Yu.

"I heard from them that there seems to be a war going on," Fang Yu told Jiang Yun what he had overheard. "Jing Kingdom has sent troops to attack Linzhou."

"Is there really a war? How did they know?" Jiang Yun asked.

There was no attempt to hide anything in these words.

Everyone present could hear it.

"Alas... My son is serving in the army, and this time he is in the troops heading to war. In the letter he sent home, he said that the war started two months ago."

An elderly father in his fifties, with tears in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that this letter from his son might be the last one.

"There is indeed a war going on in the south," Fang Yongcai said at this moment. "My uncle works in the county government, and he told me about it during the New Year. Let me tell you the reasons."

Fang Yongcai seemed to know more.

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

He looked somewhat smug and began to reveal everything he knew.

It turns out that Jingguo was a large country to the south of Dayu.

This country and the Great Yu often fought each other.

During the reign of Emperor Jinghe, the Great Yu Kingdom was powerful and had a strong army.

In a war, they captured the three counties of Yasukuni.

The three prefectures of Jingguo were equivalent to the three states of Dayu.

In that battle, Emperor Jinghe expanded the territory.

This also made Jingguo realize the power of the Great Yu army.

From then on, Jingguo lost three prefectures and dared not invade Dayu again.

Now, more than twenty years have passed.

The Yasukuni Kingdom has completed its period of recuperation and military buildup.

They launched an attack on Dayu, intending to recover lost territory.

Thus began the war.

"I see."

After listening to Fang Yongcai's words, Jiang Yun understood.

He wasn't surprised at all.

After Emperor Jinghe passed away and Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne.

Dayu is going downhill every day.

More than ten years have passed.

The decline of the Great Yu Dynasty was evident to all the people of the world.

How could Yasukuni, which is adjacent to it and is always ready to wash away its shame and recover its lost territory, not know this?

This war was bound to break out.

"That's the situation right now," Fang Yongcai said casually. "Huaizhou is far from the southern battlefield; they can't reach us here!"

Fang Luyong agreed, saying, "Linzhou, Qingzhou, and Huaizhou—unless Jingguo conquers Qingzhou, they won't be able to reach us."

Huaizhou is located south of Dayu.

It is separated from Linzhou by Qingzhou.

At this moment, Linzhou, along with several other large states bordering Jingguo, are all at war with Jingguo.

If the Jing Kingdom were to conquer Qingzhou, it would affect Huaizhou.

"My uncle said the Jingguo army is no match for them, and the Dayu will definitely win." Fang Yongcai said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, go do whatever you need to do!"

Hearing Fang Yongcai's words, the people felt somewhat relieved, picked up their farm tools, and returned home.

"Let's go."

Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Jiang Yun led Jiang Dexian home.

Fang Yu and Fang Zeping were with him.

One of them is the brother-in-law, and the other is the neighbor.

"Brother-in-law, you're really capable. Do you think Fang Yongcai is right?" Fang Yu jogged a few steps to catch up with Jiang Yun.

"I don't know." Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "In any case, war is never a good thing."

"Xiao Yuzi, why think so much?" Fang Zeping laughed from behind. "Whether we win or lose, we're just farmers, who cares about that!"

"That's right!" Fang Yu said, carrying his hoe, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Fighting was not something he cared about.

Even if the sky falls, the Emperor of Great Yu will hold it up.

"But what if they attack our territory?"

Jiang Dexian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked.

These words were spoken.

Fang Zeping and Fang Yu, who had been so optimistic just moments before, were now speechless.

If they really manage to reach Huaizhou, then life will be unbearable.

These people will likely become vagrants.

back home.

Jiang Yun told Ling'er about the war.

"fight?"

Ling'er was very surprised.

The Great Yu Dynasty had enjoyed peace for over twenty years, but unexpectedly, war broke out again.

"I'm afraid the land tax will increase further, and the price of grain will also rise. Let's store more grain."

Being prepared is always the best policy; in times of war, storing up food is the most important thing.

Over the years, Jiang Yun's family has stored up a considerable amount of grain.

The cellar was almost full.

Even in Jiang Yun's storage bag, there were ten bushels of fine rice.

These ten bushels of refined rice.

He secretly put it in the storage bag.

He had a sudden inspiration and crushed a spirit stone to fill his storage bag with spiritual energy.

So that the refined rice can absorb it and see if it can become spiritual rice.

In fact, Jiang Yun's idea was too naive.

Those refined rice grains don't absorb spiritual energy at all.

Unless it is grown in a spirit field from the beginning, it can become spirit rice.

Therefore, Jiang Yun had no choice but to refine and absorb the spiritual energy in the storage bag.

But the ten bushels of refined rice were still in the storage bag.
