Chapter 281 Eating Cake with Tears
In the family area of the Houcheng Military Camp, Lu Songli and Qin Sheng had already washed up and returned to their rooms, ready to go to bed.
Qin Sheng took a cloth and wiped her hair, "Lili, I heard something today."
Lu Songli sat back lazily with her eyes slightly dozed, letting him do whatever she wanted, "What's the matter?"
"Ji Wuyin and his men escorted the grain northward and encountered water bandits twice."
"Then what?" Lu Songli said in her heart. There were not only water bandits but also pirates on the water.
"You said that after we fight the bandits on the ground, can we go fight the bandits and pirates in the water?"
"She has long-term ideas and is ambitious." Lu Songli praised.
"But Lili, we don't have a boat."
"I'll come up with a solution. You kill the bandits on land first."
"Okay!" Qin Sheng responded excitedly, then took the opportunity to hug her from behind and said, "Lili, you are so kind."
"Idiot." Lu Songli raised her head, smiled and kissed his face.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but pull her into a hug, then couldn't help but hug her waist and kiss her.
After a kiss, the two of them lay on the bed. Qin Sheng fanned her while clinging to her, and they chatted quietly.
Lu Songli endured the feeling of a big stove next to her that was ironing her skin, and whispered to him.
Gradually, Qin Sheng's voice became quieter and his fan stopped shaking.
Lu Songli took the fan out of his hand, threw it aside, then moved away slightly and closed her eyes.
But she was thinking about what happened just now, building ships to develop a navy, getting horses to develop cavalry...
We have to recruit craftsmen...
Lu Songli had a headache when she thought that ships and horses were big spenders of money. Money was needed everywhere.
No, she was too gentle with Ji Wuyin, the richest man in the South! Tomorrow, she would have to squeeze more money out of Ji Wuyin, the richest man in the South.
This time, Lu Desheng had been out for about ten days, after seeing off Prince Gong and the imperial censor Zhou Chengzhong. After touring three counties, he came back.
I am tired and homesick.
Lu Songli, Lu Zhiyuan, Lu Mingzhi and her siblings did not dare to say or do anything as her father failed to meet his expectations of touring the five counties.
For Lu Songli, her biological father felt sorry for him, and if he was not allowed to rest when he was tired from work, he would also lose his temper.
After he rested at home for a day, Lu Songli went to find him and discussed with him how to recruit craftsmen.
Lu Desheng was kicked out of the room by his wife, Mrs. Jiang. He just heard that his little girl was here and he didn't want to move at all.
Hearing his daughter's suggestion, Lu Desheng couldn't help but said, "My daughter, I am just the governor of Liaodong County. Do we, father and daughter, need to work so hard?"
Lu Songli said seriously, "Father, let alone the side of the bed, how can we allow others to sleep soundly? Simply speaking, Liaodong County is now the place where our Qin and Lu families live and work. Do you feel at ease if we don't go through the entire Liaodong County?"
Besides, they had finally won Liaodong County, so how could they take advantage of others?
Lu Desheng said sarcastically, "Dad has no other intention. He just feels sorry for us, father and daughter."
Lu Songli coaxed him, just treating him as a child with a tantrum, "Dad, be good, we, father and daughter, will work hard for a few years. From now on, my daughter will let you and your mother enjoy your life leisurely, and you won't have to work anymore."
"Really?"
"real."
"How many years is it?"
"Three, five, seven years, but you will definitely not be as busy as you are now."
"Okay, dad believes in you." Lu Desheng ate the cake painted by his little girl with tears in his eyes. What could he do if he didn't eat it, but he couldn't really stop working.
In the afternoon, Lu Desheng summoned Mo Lianfeng, the administrator of the Xiangping military camp, in the name of the county governor.
Mo Lianfeng never expected that the Qin family would turn around so quickly!
Although the Qin family is still guilty of the crime, now that Mrs. Qin Sixth and her father Lu Desheng have become the governor of Liaodong County, no one will mention this restricted area without a look.
Liaodong County is in the northeast corner of Dali, which is too far away from Chang'an. As far as the emperor is concerned, Lord Lu is the local emperor of Liaodong County.
He was extremely lucky that when the Qin family fell into his hands, he did not mistreat them harshly and even provided them with certain conveniences within the scope of his authority.
Therefore, he was summoned and felt quite calm.
When Mo Lianfeng was invited in, he saw Lord Lu, the governor, sitting at the front seat, and Mrs. Qin Liu sitting next to him. When he looked over, she smiled at him and nodded slightly.
Mo Lianfeng stepped forward, clasped his hands and bowed, "My dear, I'd like to meet the Sheriff!"
"Get up." Lu Desheng asked after waiting for him to stand up, "Don't interfere. I heard my daughter say before that when we were at the Xiangping military camp, she suggested that you set up an experimental field. Did you finally do it?"
Mo Lianfeng calmed down and replied, "Back to Mr. Lu, are you asking about the acres of paddy fields that Madam Qin Liu suggested to plant using the rice seedling transplanting method?"
Lu Desheng remembered the term his daughter said, "Yes."
"It's done. About five acres of paddy fields have been planted."
"How are those acres of rice growing?" Lu Songli asked with concern.
Mo Lianfeng recalled that the rice in the five acres of land was indeed greener and lusher than the rice grown next to it using the old method, and he responded truthfully.
"Don't meddle. Just plant those few acres of land. Don't take too much care of it. Just take care of it as you used to take care of rice." Lu Songli confessed that she was worried that after Mo Lianfeng returned today, he would do nothing to those five acres of land. Pay special attention to the care of the rice. If it goes too far, it will be bad if the rice is killed.
Lv Songli plans to promote the new rice planting method next year. When this crop of rice is ripe and can be harvested, the village heads of villages and farms in Liaodong County will go to visit it.
Land is the lifeblood of the people. Without examples, it will be very difficult to change their farming methods.
Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Only real harvests can convince them.
I believe that if the five acres of rice have a good harvest, one acre can harvest a few more buckets of rice, and the resistance to promotion will be much less.
After asking about this matter, Lu Desheng let Mo Lianfeng go.
After Mo Lianfeng went back, the appointment letter to promote him as the general manager of Xiangping came down, which aroused the envy of people around him.
Mo Lianfeng was in a trance. From today on, he also has a backer?
