“I propose to increase the area of ​​wasteland and plant more variety.”

"Yes, it snowed last year, and increasing the planting area will definitely lead to a bumper harvest."

Several strategists said one by one and another, and Lu Bai rolled his eyes when he heard this.

These people said it was equivalent to not saying it. How could they not know how to increase the planting area? The question is, what about water?

The reason why their place had severe droughts year after year was because the rainfall was not high.

Is there any use to increase the planting area and no water?

In addition, there are not enough manpower and not enough food seeds, these are all problems!

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel speechless. These so-called strategists were bragging about how powerful they were, and they couldn't do anything when they really used them.

He couldn't help but think of Su San.

I remember that my daughter talked to him about Su San, who helped her solve the inn business problem and said that there was a problem of solving people's livelihood...

During this period, he had been dealing with the bandit problem and did not ask carefully. Seeing his adviser as crazy, he snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

He ordered the servant to find his daughter, and Lu Shang went into the house and asked, "Dad, come to me."

"Good daughter, how are the grilled fish sold in the inn?"

"It's okay, but this is because our family's prices are cheap. I think the business of other inns is not very good. Dad, in my opinion, everyone has no money in their hands. It's not easy for everyone over the years." Lu Shang said bluntly.

"Hey, I know, otherwise there wouldn't be so many bandits. I'm just worried now. If this continues, if it doesn't improve next year, it will cause bandits again. In this way, the court may be dissatisfied with me."

"Dad, what should I do?" Lu Shang was a little anxious. His father was old. If it weren't for the success of the bandit suppression, the court would have wanted to replace people long ago.

If this is changed, their Lu family's power will be greatly reduced.

Originally, according to Lu Bai's idea, Lu Shang took care of the Lu family's business, and his son Lu Niucheng inherited his mantle and became the lord of this city.

However, his son Lu Niucheng is too weak, and becoming the city lord requires a competition, because the city lord is the guard general, and you, a weak scholar, cannot lead it at all.

Therefore, Lu Bai thought about how many years he could survive, expand his power, and strive to make his son the city lord.

But things went against my wishes. Who would have known that these years were so difficult! He, the city lord, was a little unstable.

Thinking of this, Lu Bai sighed and said, "Didn't I hear you last time? Did Su San tell you that he has a way? Have you never asked him later?"

Ask Su San, what a big deal!

Lu Shang complained in her heart that since she was defeated by Wang Chong several times, she had already hated Wang Chong to death, thinking that Wang Chong was a young man who liked to show off. She vowed that she would not have anything to do with him in the future.

"Didn't ask."

"Daughter, you said last time that Su San was very smart, unlike other noble men. Why? Where did he fool you?"

"No, it's just that he's too confused. I saw that he can do it, so I specially invited him to do things. I didn't expect that he was willing to farm at home. In my opinion, he has no ambitions and will not have any great skills in the future."

“Hahaha…………”

Lu Bai understood that his daughter was defeated by Wang Chong, so she felt uncomfortable and had a little bit of a bad temper.

"I understand, I'll go over and ask him these days."

After all, Lu Bai is a person who is eager to be talented, otherwise the family would not have had so many counselors.

……………………

After Lu Bai came out, he found his daughter's maid and asked Lu Shang what the hell had suffered from Su San, which made her so angry.

"Master, this... this slave doesn't know."

The maid and Lu Shang grew up together since childhood and have been as close as sisters, so she naturally won’t talk nonsense.

Lu Bai knew this and nodded, "I just asked, but I won't say anything."

"I really don't know."

"Hmph, you don't know if you stay with the lady all day? If you really don't know, what's the use of asking you?" Lu Bai snorted coldly and said, "The housekeeper's son is just trying to get married. I think you are a big boss. Since you are of use, I'll give you to him."

The housekeeper's son is a mentally retarded and has a pockmarked face. If he marrys him, wouldn't it be ruined?

Immediately, the maid knelt down and cried, "Master, don't do this, wuwu, I don't want to leave the lady."

"Then you won't tell me."

"Yes, master, that's right, the lady went to the village that day..."

The maid briefly explained the matter, but she was also very smart and didn't say it carefully. However, Lu Bai heard it very important between the lines, and his daughter was interested in Su San.

Lu Bai frowned. Although he admired Wang Chong, it did not mean that he was willing to marry his daughter to him.

After all, it is not right for the two families to be famous, so how can it be suitable?

Fortunately, Wang Chong was very satisfied with his approach and directly rejected his daughter. Yes, this young man did something so satisfying. He knew that he was not worthy of Lu Shang, so he kept rejecting with her.

"I get it, you go back."

Lu Bai shook his hand and drove away the maid.

That afternoon, he and his men rode their horses to the village where Wang Chong lived.

………………………………………

At this moment, Su Xiaolan was also on the way home.

Before, Wang Chong told her that you should stop working in the inn for a while, because you will be a working person until you die.

This is not a good day, the task has not been completed yet.

So according to Wang Chong, that is, they want to start their own business.

Su Xiaolan originally wanted to live a life of muddle-by-one, and be able to eat two meals a day to fill her up and give her mother a living and a life-long life.

Yes, her wish is that simple. In this era, poor families only had two meals.

Later, Wang Chong came to find her, thinking that the house at home had been built, she should indeed go back and take a look, so she said goodbye to her mother who was working here and went home to take a look.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

As soon as he arrived in the new house, looking at the new beds, new tables, and new cooking stoves in the house, a hint of excitement surged on Su Xiaolan's face.

The house in the past was too broken, with rain leaking on rainy days and wind leaking in winter. The broken ones could not be broken anymore, but without money, their family could only live in a scattered house.

But everything in front of her was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to leave.

"These are all made by the craftsmen of the City Lord's Mansion for you. By the way, I have planted the land for you, and the wasteland has been opened."

Wang Chong took Su Xiaolan to the back mountain. The original wasteland was cleaned up very clean, and replaced by a lot of crops.

"Oh my God, you've done so much these days?"

Su Xiaolan really couldn't believe it.

Actually, she didn't know that it was very troublesome for ordinary people to develop wastelands, but it was very convenient for Wang Chong.

As a rat spirit, he had long become a rat king in this area. He raised his arms and shouted, and the mice all listened to him. So these days the rat group bit all the rhizomes all over the wild grass, and it became much easier for Wang Chong to work.

"This large area of ​​land is ours. We won't go hungry in the future. When there is a lot of harvest next year, we can still open a rice industry."

I don’t know what happened. After becoming a mouse, Wang Chong wanted to start a rice-selling business. After thinking for a long time, Wang Chong estimated that this was because he was a mouse now.

“Our land is here.”

Su Xiaolan was excited and looked at Wang Chong and said, "Little mouse, thank you."

"We are friends, what do you say thank you?" Wang Chong smiled.

"No, you don't understand. Since I was a child, I have been living a hard life. Our family has not had enough food and clothing. But since I met you, my life has been getting better and better."

Suddenly, Su Xiaolan hugged Wang Chong, "Thank you, little mouse."

Wang Chong was helpless. Su Xiaolan really valued feelings too much.

"Xiaolan, don't you dislike me as a mouse?"

"Dislike, why do you dislike? I think rats are very cute."

This is called having more contact with the same thing, so naturally I will not be afraid. If I get along well, I will also feel good.

Many people are afraid of mice because they have never had close contact.

Wang Chong was speechless and actually said I was cute.

Dada dada......

At this time, the sound of horses came from the door.

When the two went out, they saw that it was the city lord and his men who came over.

"Wow, Su San, this house looks good."

Lu Bai turned over and dismounted, roaring in a thunderous voice.

"See the Lord of the City."

"See the Lord of the City!"

Wang Chong and Su Xiaolan bent over.
