The next morning.
Xie Yuan entered the city to accompany Xu Jin on his inspection of the military farms.
In truth, Xie Yuan did not want to accompany this Lord Xu either. He still had a large pile of things to handle over there. Spring plowing had already entered its final stage, and next he had to prepare the soldiers' training arrangements, prepare to repair the tun fortresses, and prepare to build pigpens, sheepfolds, stables, and so on in each tun fortress.
In addition, he had to coordinate with the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Workshop and choose suitable girls to enter Jinxiu Workshop to learn embroidery.
All those plans Yang Zhengshan had made had to be implemented by him, so he truly was very busy right now.
It was just that accompanying Xu Jin on his inspection was also Yang Zhengshan's order, so he could not refuse.
After the party of several dozen people left the city, Xie Yuan rode his horse to the side of the carriage and asked, "Lord Xu, where shall we go first?"
Since he was accompanying Xu Jin, today's itinerary naturally had to center on Xu Jin.
Inside the carriage, Xu Jin's face was still solemn. He said in a low voice, "Dongyan Mound!"
"Dongyan Mound!" Xie Yuan froze. "Lord Xu, isn't Dongyan Mound too far? Why don't we choose somewhere closer to take a look?"
Dongyan Mound was a fire road mound under Anyuan City's jurisdiction on the eastern side. It was more than a hundred li from Anyuan City. If one whipped a fast horse on, one could make a round trip in a day, but if traveling by carriage, one should just barely be able to make a round trip too.
Xie Yuan felt there was no need for Xu Jin to suffer
