Back Off, Let Me Come

Although Shen Tang couldn't wait to see Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi was still in Ruyao and it would take some time to come back and forth. Sharpening the knife does not waste time chopping firewood. In addition to a few necessary tasks, Shen Tang transferred the extra manpower to open up the wasteland and reserved it for preparation.

"Justice, there is one more thing I need from you——"

Luan Xin said respectfully: "My lord, please speak."

"The wasteland in Longwu County has been reclaimed in the past two years. The common people in Longwu County can contract land from the county government for farming according to the number of people in their families..." Shen Tang drafted in his mind and tried to express his meaning tactfully.

Luan Xin looked at her with gentle eyes, waiting for the next step.

"...Because we have been absorbing refugees, there are not many fields left for cultivation within the territory, and the cotton issue is related to the people of the three counties to survive the cold and winter in the coming year. It is urgent and cannot be delayed." Shen Tang stood up and pointed to the map screen at the back of the chamber. , "As the population of Sibao County is depleted and the fields are deserted, if cotton is planted on a large scale, this area will definitely be considered first."

Luan Xin asked: "What do you mean, lord?"

Shen Tang laid the groundwork and was finally able to tell his plan: "If you want to plant cotton on a large scale, high-quality cotton seeds are essential. Now the only people who have the ability to do this are you and Lingde. Lingde She has to stay in Sibao County for a short period of time, but the people from her government office can't get her there, so there are some things that I need your help with your government officials to facilitate her."

You must also follow Lin Feng's dispatching orders when necessary.

Finally finished.

She planned to let Luan Xin lead a group of Cao officials to assist Lin Feng in order to prepare enough cotton seeds before planting next year. During this period, it would be better if the cotton seeds could be optimized.

To obtain a large number of high-quality cotton seeds, it is necessary to use force to generate cotton seeds over and over again, and to try out the best growing environment and planting methods for cotton seeds. This is not something that just two people can accomplish. The Hucao department official is also a professional counterpart and should be able to help.

But she was also worried that letting Luan Xin assist Lin Feng would make him dissatisfied - why was Lin Feng too young? There is no impressive record in itself that is convincing. Shen Tang's "reasonable" statement was just to hope that Luan Xin wouldn't think too much.

Luan Xin understood now and couldn't help but became dumbfounded: "Lin Hu Cao has extraordinary abilities and assisted her in accomplishing this feat, which will benefit generations to come and save countless people from the suffering of cold and exhaustion. This is an honor that Xin can only dream of in this life. My lord does not need more consider."

Alas, how could Shen Tang not worry too much?

Her proposal was equivalent to asking a career elite who had been the second-in-command of a large company to start a job for a semi-cute newcomer who had been in the workplace for four years. The key was that this semi-cute newcomer had a low reputation and the career elite had switched jobs. Who feels comfortable?

She was also a social worker in the workplace and could empathize fiercely.

If a few more frank words could save a lot of misunderstandings, why should she be stingy with this little talk? Seeing Luan Xin's sincere response, she felt relieved. Thinking of what he was going to say next, Shen Tang crossed his hands into fists and kept circling his thumbs: "There is one more thing - ahem, we are currently short of people, especially high-level warriors who can split mountains and gravel... …”

Luan Xin looked at Shen Tang who looked reserved.

He opened his mouth and said: "My lord, please speak frankly."

Shen Tang unclenched his fist, scratched his nose with his right index finger, and said a little embarrassedly: "What I mean is that there are still a few warriors in Wen Yangong's old department who have not yet 'ransomed' themselves. They are idle anyway. Why don't you persuade them to help?" Work for two months?"

It would be pitifully inefficient to expect low-level warriors to move mountains and clear up wasteland. As for middle- and high-level warriors, there are not many on our side. All are invested in production and construction, but the overall efficiency is still low. So, Shen Tang focused on those freeloaders.

Isn’t it natural for prisoners to work?

Luan Xin: "..."

Shen Tang whispered: "I'll leave this matter to you, okay?"

Luan Xin: "..."

Just when Luan Xin was thinking about how to persuade him tactfully without being beaten to death, the news that Qiu Cheng was defeated and committed suicide spread everywhere. Xu Jie was the first one among them to receive it. The tight strings finally loosened and he asked again: "Is there any news about Wen Jie?"

When he asked this question, his voice was trembling.

Although brave warriors were destined to die on the battlefield, Xu Jie still hoped that his cousin would not be among those buried in horse leather.

The attendant said: "Mr. Lang was injured and is still recovering."

Even if he was seriously injured, it would not stop Xu Quan from being noisy.

When he heard that his idol Gong Xi Qiu Dou was defeated, he became depressed and started a hunger strike without eating or drinking. He had an attitude of "I don't believe it, I don't believe it." When he heard that his idol had an irreversible relationship with his lord, he was resurrected on the spot with full health. He clamored and wanted to jump to Xiaocheng on one leg to meet his idol. With his fanatical and pious attitude, some people thought he was going to worship some god. The attendant's expression was hard to describe: "It is said that General Zhao's daughter couldn't bear it anymore, so she knocked her unconscious and carried her back, and tied her to the couch before she stopped..."

When Xu Jie heard this, he felt ashamed.

I wish I didn't have such an embarrassing cousin.

After a long while, Xu Jie put on his cloak and returned to the study. Looking at the heavy snow, he uttered: "As long as everything is fine..."

"Lang Jun's strength is improving rapidly, parents can rest assured."

"Safe?"

Xu Jie looked in the direction of Longwu County and shook his head.

"I can't feel at ease and worry about him even more."

The attendant held an umbrella for him and followed him step by step.

"My subordinate is confused."

Xu Jie said softly: "Longwu, the Four Treasures, and the Minfeng you mentioned. Lord Shen holds the land of the three counties in his hands, which is already a big threat to an existence like my lord. How old is Lord Shen?" Gong Xiqiu was defeated in his hands..."

The attendant said: "...But, after all, Lord Shen is a literary scholar, so in terms of threat, he is still not as strong as a brave warrior. Furthermore, the Gongxi Qiu did not surrender to Lord Shen. Generally speaking..."

Xu Jie asked, "How did you know you didn't surrender?"

Attendant: "If you surrender, how can you leave?"

Xu Jie did not answer, but just looked in the direction of Tianhai, as if he was asking himself, or asking the attendant: "By now, my lord should also know the news, right? I don't know what our lord thinks of him, the 'Tangdizhi'" Hand in hand, how long can I tolerate it..."

"Are your parents worried that Duke Zhao De will launch an attack on Lord Shen?"

In this way, Xu Jie is bound to run into Xu Quan.

"I do have this worry. Because of that 'evil plot' Qi Yuanliang, Qin Gongsu has been guarding Longwu County in the past few years... If the lord also feels a sense of crisis, then kill him before the threat becomes bigger. It’s the best strategy…”

Attendant: "But the violent master Zheng Qiao is still alive."

Xu Jie was thankful: "Yes, Zheng Qiao is still alive."

Fortunately Zheng Qiao is still alive.

Otherwise, Shen Tang's attack on Sibao County would be the best opportunity for Wu Xian and others to eliminate the serious troubles they have. However, Zheng Qiao is still alive, so this possibility is slim. To a certain extent, Zheng Qiao is also Shen Tang's shield, buying her enough time.

As for Qiu Cheng’s death?

Xu Jie didn't care at all.

Even though he knew that there was something fishy about Qiu Cheng's death, whether it was a family dispute, a feud between brothers, or someone borrowing a knife to kill someone, Qiu Cheng committed suicide on the surface. A coward who has been defeated and committed suicide has no value in being paid attention to by Xu Jie.

"I wonder if Mr. Shen is willing to fight the tyrant together..." This battle has been going on for too long, and the Xu family's business has become more and more difficult every year.

Xu Jie smiled and said, "Jun Shen?"

"It will come naturally."

"If you don't come, Zheng Qiao will fall, and he will be next!"
