Chapter 337: Lu Er's Inspection
Liaodong County, Houcheng
Liaodong County has now become a blessed land.
There are no bandits here to rob houses, and life and property are safe.
In addition, Lv Songli brought a lot of grain from the south, and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Grain and Oil Store opened regularly to sell affordable grain.
When grain prices soared everywhere, the grain prices in Liaodong County have been maintained at the level of non-disaster years, and are not affected by the disaster in the south.
After learning that Liaodong County has regular affordable grain for sale, no one does not want to go to Liaodong County to buy grain, especially Liaodong County’s neighbors-Liaoxi County and Xuantu County.
They live next to Liaodong County and are the first to know the news.
They also want to buy affordable grain. But the affordable grain in Liaodong County is only available to people with local household registration in Liaodong County! Even if they said that they live next door to Liaodong County and are neighbors, it is not possible.
Some people want to sneak in to buy, but it is not possible, because they have to look at the household registration book to buy grain.
They really want to say, is it that serious? Isn’t it just buying food? It's not like they don't want to pay.
Later they found out that the household registration book of Liaodong County is very useful!
People who are doing well are still hesitating whether to change their household registration book?
People who can't make ends meet feel that there is no other way, so they move and change their household registration! They have to survive, right?
As a result, many people from Liaoxi County and Xuantu County moved to Liaodong County. Later, people from other places also came from thousands of miles away to Liaodong County.
Houcheng County Governor's Mansion
The grain transported from the South was stored in the warehouse. At the same time, there was a message from the South that more than 200 members of the Zhu family had been executed on the spot.
After hearing this news, Lu Songli felt a little heavy, and she decided to visit the ten children of the Zhu family again.
These children are now placed in a new house in Tianshui New Village. Their public identity is that they came to seek refuge with relatives after the disaster in the South.
When Lv Songli arrived at Tianshui New Village, she heard bursts of crying as soon as she entered the Zhu family's house.
She knew that these children of the Zhu family had been asking about the news in the south after arriving in Liaodong County. The last time Zhu Huating saw her and her eldest uncle Qin Heng, he also begged them not to hide any news from him if there was any news from the Zhu family in the south, no matter whether the news was good or bad. Lv Songli agreed.
At this time, they should have just learned that the Zhu family was killed on the spot.
The old servant of the Zhu family had red eyes. When he saw Lv Songli and his party coming to the door, he was about to call Zhu Huating, but was stopped by her. Lv Songli intended to let them cry and vent all the negative emotions accumulated in their bodies.
The old servant could only ask her to sit down and serve her tea.
After waiting for a while, the old servant couldn't help but go in to find Zhu Huating.
Not long after, Zhu Huating came out. The ten-year-old boy had red and swollen eyes, and it was obvious that he had cried bitterly.
"Aunt Lu——"
"If you still want to cry, then cry." Lu Songli sighed. The Zhu family first suffered a great change, and now... For these children, it was too cruel.
Zhu Huating sniffed and held back his tears.
He looked at Lu Songli, "Aunt Lu, we want to change our surnames, is that okay?"
Lu Songli paused. This child is quite sensible, and actually thought of changing his surname to hide himself. Doing so is to protect himself and not to cause trouble to them.
"Okay, what surname do you want to change to?"
Zhu Huating said, "We want to change to Cao." Cao is the surname of their first grandmother, and this branch of their Zhu family was multiplied by them. They also have the blood of the Cao family, so it makes sense to change their surname to Cao.
"Just make up your mind."
Zhu Huating nodded with tears in his eyes.
Lu Songli comforted him, "Don't think too much. Only by growing up safely and well can you live up to your grandfather's painstaking efforts and sacrifices."
Lu Songli stayed at Zhu's house in Tianshui New Village for a while before leaving. She was really busy. She had to go out of the city to inspect the situation of the breeding farm in the suburbs.
The breeding farm reported that a batch of rabbits were old and could no longer reproduce, and asked whether they should be killed for meat.
After Lu Songli asked about the number of old rabbits, she decided to go to the breeding farm to take a look.
Suburban breeding farm
Chen Rong is currently the person in charge of the breeding farm.
Before, Lord Lu was sent out, and his family also followed him to Houcheng.
After arriving in Liaodong County, his uncle was still the steward of the Lu Mansion.
As Lord Lu jumped from the magistrate of Houcheng County to the governor of Liaodong County, his uncle's status also rose with the tide, and now he is the steward of the Liaodong County Governor's Mansion.
Afterwards, various construction projects in Liaodong County were launched, and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere.
His uncle did not let him continue to stay in the inner house as a steward, but kicked him to the breeding farm and asked him to do a good job.
After he reported the situation of the rabbits two days ago, he has been waiting for someone from the county governor's mansion. He didn't know who would come, but he knew that they took this matter very seriously.
Just when he was bored, the people below came to report, "Manager Chen, hurry up, someone from the county governor's mansion is coming!"
Chen Rong immediately ran to the gate in two steps, and his men chased him wildly behind.
When Chen Rong found out that the person who came was the second young lady, he was overjoyed. Others didn't know, but he knew the second young lady's ability. To be disrespectful, the second young lady's words in the Lu family are more effective than the eldest young master.
"Second young lady, please come in!"
"Manager Chen, I heard Uncle Chen say that you did a good job in the breeding farm before, and now it seems that you are really good."
"Second young lady is too flattering, please take a rest in front." Chen Rong said as he led people to the main hall.
Lv Songli stopped and smiled, "Manager Chen, I won't rest. Let's go to the rabbit area directly."
They followed Chen Rong to the rabbit breeding area. Before entering, he specially found an old master.
This old master was an old man named Cheng, and he was also the general guide of rabbit breeding.
When the old man saw so many of them and heard that they were going to visit, he couldn't help shaking his head, "So many people can't go in."
"Why?"
Mr. Cheng explained that rabbits are timid animals. Sudden noises, strangers and strange animals, such as cats and dogs, will make them panic.
When raising rabbits, these sounds that cause panic in rabbits should be avoided as much as possible. It is best to prohibit strangers and cats and dogs from entering and leaving the rabbit house.
Lv Songli understood that animals have stress reactions. So she asked her followers to wait outside, and she and Chen Rong would go in with Mr. Cheng.
Everything else was easy, but Luo Tieniu insisted on following her around. He was her guard.
After Luo Tieniu came to Liaodong County, Qin Sheng specially taught him how to fight, and now he is better at fighting than many people.
Finally, the four of them went into the rabbit breeding area together.
Uncle Cheng led them to visit the rabbit area and introduced it while they were visiting.
In fact, they just took a look from a distance and did not get close.
