Chapter 539 The bigger and bigger rice city comforts)

Micheng is the city where Wang Chong is located.

In the past, it was just a small city. After Wang Chong participated in the governance, the living standards of nearby residents rose. In addition, traded with some surrounding cities, Micheng quickly became a medium-sized city from a small city.

And all of this was done in just five years.

Five years have passed, and although Lu Bai is getting stronger and stronger, he can feel that he is getting more and more difficult to do things, so he intends to pass the position of the city lord to his son Lu Niucheng.

Wang Chong felt that it was nothing about this.

Because Lu Niucheng is now very impressed by him and listens to his words the most. He is actually just a puppet when he is the city lord. Who doesn’t know that the person who is really governing Micheng is Wang Chong?

"My husband, I really feel wronged. In fact, with your ability, I can be fully qualified for the position of the city lord. Unfortunately, my father must be transferred to my younger brother."

At night, Lu Shang said a little guiltyly.

"Xiaoshang, there is no need to say that. I have no interest in the position of the city lord, so let Niu Cheng be the one. However, if he dares to act recklessly in the future, he must let him know that he is powerful." Wang Chong said lightly.

"Why……"

Lu Shang sighed, why didn’t she hope that Wang Chong would become the city lord? But on one side is his family and on the other side is her husband, and some things are not good at the best of both worlds.

"By the way, have you heard of it? Haiti is coming to harass us again. During this period, many refugees came to the city." Su Xiaolan, who had already been lying on the bed, said.

Wang Xin nodded. Haiti is a small country overseas. Because it is located in a small piece of land overseas, they call themselves Haiti.

Originally, no one cared about this small country, but for some reason, this country has been harassing some villages and towns by the sea in recent years, causing people to suffer miserable life.

This year, something has been done even bigger. A village has killed many soldiers from Haiti because of its resistance.

Three days later, Haiti soldiers besieged the village and killed all the villagers.

As the news came out, residents of nearby villages and towns were very scared. In order to avoid being harassed again, many people took their belongings to travel far away.

"I heard that this hateful Haiti country has killed many people." Lu Shang was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"I heard that Haicheng has increased its vigilance. Haicheng is not too far from us, so we have to be careful."

Wang Zhong thought in his heart that after the past five years, after having some money, he vigorously developed muskets and cannons, but it was too late to go in time and the number was not large.

If Haiti harass them at this time, it will be very troublesome.

After all, Micheng’s foundation is not too thick, the city walls are too short, and there are villagers all around. If they really come to harass it, it will affect this year’s grain planting!

"We can't let them succeed!"

Wang Zhong thought to himself.

"Husband, you have been so tired these days, I'll squeeze your shoulders."

Seeing that Wang Chong was so tired, Su Xiaolan was considerate and thoughtful to Wang Chong.

"Well, I'm Mrs. Lau." Wang Chong said intimately that Su Xiaolan was considerate.

"I'll give you my legs." Lu Shang also said sensible.

"No need, if your wife is tired, take a break early."

"We don't have the fatigue of you. If we can use our little work to help you lose a little hard work for your husband, it will be worth it." Lu Shang said.

This is too sweet.

"Yes, Sister Xiaoshang is right." Su Xiaolan agreed.

Wang Chong's heart is warm. If he has a wife like this, what else can his husband ask for?

"Hey, Xiaoshang, you bought it with a new belly." Wang Chong suddenly discovered the highlight.

"Yes, how about it?"

"good."

"I bought one too," Su Xiaolan also said.

"It's not really silk, right?"

The three of them chatted, and Wang Chong felt a little emotional. It would be great if life was so dull every day. This damn Haiti country hopes that it won’t come to cause trouble, otherwise, he must be beautiful.

……………………………………………………………………

The next day, Wang Chongyi came to the city lord's mansion. Lu Bai and his brother-in-law Lu Niucheng had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother-in-law."

Lu Niucheng respected Wang Chong very much in private and called his brother-in-law: "There are more and more refugees coming to Haicheng ahead, which puts a lot of pressure on us in Micheng. Several cases of robbery occurred. Now the people do not want outsiders to enter the city."

"Ahem cough cough..."

Lu Bai, who was on the head, coughed a few times and sighed: "My original idea was to lock the city, but there were so many people outside, so it was impossible to do this. What I worry most now is that Haicheng cannot hold on. If Haiti people hit us, it would be troublesome."

"Yes, the defenders in our city are all used for public security, so there are not many. After all, from ancient times to the present, we have never encountered overseas threats. Now we are in trouble, what should we do?"

Lu Niucheng said worriedly that he is the kind of person who has no decisive ability. When encountering problems, the first thing he thinks about is not to solve them, but to ask, "What should I do?"

Lu Bai is courageous, but hesitated and said, "Why do I send troops to support Haicheng?"

Lu Bai's thinking makes sense.

Haicheng and here are recently. If there is big trouble in Haicheng, Micheng will definitely be their next target, which is very troublesome!

After Lu Bai finished speaking, he asked Wang Chong: "Su San, what do you think?"

Over the years, Wang Chong has seen the management of Micheng and Lu Bai, so he trusted Wang Chong very much. He felt that Wang Chong must have good ideas.

"There are not many soldiers in our city. If we send them to support Haicheng, there will be fewer defenders in the city."

Wang Chong put forward a key point, which Lu Bai was very worried about.

"But the Lord of Haicheng has sent someone to help us." Lu Bai coughed again and continued: "As the saying goes, lips are dead and teeth are cold. If they have trouble, we will suffer."

"Yes, I suggest going to rescue me. Anyway, if you want to fight, you will hit Haicheng first. After we are in Micheng, we don't have to worry about anything for the time being." Lu Niucheng said.

"No." Wang Chong shook his head: "During this period, many refugees came to the city, causing public security chaos. We need many people to deal with it, otherwise it would be not good to cause a big mess. Besides, there are so many refugees, so there may not be Haiti people in it..."

"What, the people from Haiti among the refugees?"

When Lu Bai and his son heard this news, they were both stunned.

"If I were the leader of Haiti, I would definitely do this. After all, over the years, our Micheng has already surpassed them. How much can we get from robbing Haicheng? But if we rob us, we will get several times more rewards!"

"Then according to your wishes, won't you help Haicheng?" Lu Bai asked.

"We still need to help, but we only provide some equipment such as bows and arrows, and immediately notify the court to send troops to reinforce Haicheng!" Wang Chong said analyzing.

"Well, then okay, just do as Su San said."

Lu Baisi thought about it and felt that what Wang Chong said made sense.

They don’t have many soldiers in Micheng City. If they really go to reinforce, it will be very troublesome if something goes wrong here.

While they were discussing, the city lord Su Wanhai, the city lord of Haicheng, and a group of people were discussing in the secret room.

"I have sent someone to Micheng to ask for support. I think Lu Bai will definitely send someone here. At that time, you Haiti people will support the people inside and attack the silver treasury of the city lord's mansion in one fell swoop, and take away all the gold there."

The person who spoke was Su Wanhai, the lord of Haicheng.

No one expected that the big man who was guarding the side would collude with the people of Haiti and prepare to rob Micheng.

Their plan is perfect. Once Micheng sends people to rescue, the number of troops in Micheng will definitely be reduced. By then, the success rate will be very high when joining Haiti soldiers in it.

The envoy from Haiti bowed and said, "That guy Lu Bai is very thief in his work. Will he not send someone to support him?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, the old guy is old, he must think you will deal with me first, so he will definitely send troops here. The only variable is probably his son-in-law..."

Su Wanhai narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but think of information about Wang Chong.

The eyeliner placed next to Lu Bai said that Su San was very smart and managed Micheng in an orderly manner. It is said that he would look at where there is water. Therefore, basically every household there is a well.

This is not counting. The farm tools were also invented, so Micheng has been harvesting year by year in recent years.

He also opened up foreign trade, exported rice and agricultural tools, and is said to have invented dyeing workshops to make fabrics.

Originally, Micheng's fabric was imported from the outer city, but now it's ready and is about to turn into an export.

A small Micheng, both in terms of economy and population, has surpassed his Haicheng, which makes him very jealous.

Because the residents of Haicheng all say that Micheng is good, and it is easy to find work in Micheng. I heard that as long as you enter a place called "factory" in Micheng, everyone has work to do. After working, you can get a monthly salary. You can also provide food and accommodation in it, and the benefits are very good.

"Isn't the son-in-law of the Lu family called Su San? This guy heard that he is very powerful and invented many strange things. By the way, the fried gold he invented is delicious." Haiti's envoy praised.

"What's the matter of fried gold? Isn't it just fried bugs? I feel disgusting!" Su Wanhai secretly cursed in his heart that Haiti is worthy of being a small country, and that those junk foods still taste delicious?

If he hadn't cooperated with them now, he wouldn't have been willing to pay attention to these people.

"What Lord Su said is."

Seeing Su Wanhai's face unhappy, the envoy quickly agreed and continued, "Then we will prepare for these days. I will live in the old place now. If Lord Su has any instructions, just send someone to call me."

"Um."

A group of people were chatting, and at this time the soldiers outside came to report.

Su Wanhai left the secret room, and the soldiers reported: "Micheng reinforcement convoy arrived."

"How many people have come?"

“Twenty.”

“Twenty?”

Su Wanhai glared at the eyes: "Isn't this Lu Bai playing with me? What's the use of twenty?"
