Chapter 270 Maybe You Really Can!
Chapter 270 Maybe You Really Can!
"Think about it carefully, now I'm leaving!" Chi Jingxiao stood up with the empty bowl.
"Brother Chi!"
Chi Jingxiao paused, hummed lightly, and did not look back.
"Thank you!" Ruan Qingqing said sincerely.
"You're welcome!" Seeing that she had nothing else to say, Chi Jingxiao strode forward, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Qingqing stared at the direction where he disappeared for a while. It was not until the noise of the children in the martial arts training ground died down that she came to her senses, clapped her hands, stood up, and started her busy day.
If she wanted a high yield, she still had to produce hybrid seeds. She had already worked hard on water and fertilizer, and the next step was to work on the seeds. After Ruan Qingqing had arranged most of the other things, she devoted herself to hybrid seeds.
Every day, he left home early and came back late. After washing up and having a simple dinner, he would fall asleep almost immediately. He woke up on time at the hour of Mao in the morning, washed up, dealt with the news sent by Ge Lao and others, and then went for a stroll near the martial arts training ground.
"Master, you got up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual today!"
Hearing General Chi's affirmative tone, Ruan Qingqing paused.
I saw him walking towards me with his hands behind his back and a kind look on his face.
Ruan Qingqing was in a trance for a moment.
"General Chi?" she called uncertainly.
"That's all in the past. In fact, if you don't mind, you can call me Grandfather Chi. I heard that you have a close relationship with my son Chi Zijing. Not only did you wear mourning clothes for him, you also visited his grave every time." Chi Jianyu said with a smile.
"Are you fine now?" Ruan Qingqing said belatedly.
"I'm only awake for half an hour every day, which is much better than before!" Chi Jianyu nodded, "Can you tell me how you got to know Zijing and the others?"
Seeing this elderly man who had lived a rough life carefully inquiring about his deceased son, Ruan Qingqing couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She did not refuse and recounted in detail how her family met and interacted with Chi the Hunter and his people.
Although Chi Jianyu had heard it once from his grandson, when he heard Ruan Qingqing say it again, it seemed more complete.
He never thought that after a lifetime of military service, his family would end up like this. The young man who was full of vigor and vitality at the beginning eventually became a victim of conspiracy. For a moment, Chi Jianyu was heartbroken.
Looking at the concerned girl in front of him, Chi Jianyu couldn't help but burst into tears. His silly son was lucky. At least he met kind and affectionate villagers and this loyal girl in front of him...
"Master, if you really want me to train some good talents, you can't be so lax like now. At the very least, you have to make it clear to the common people. Either don't send them to the City Lord's Mansion, or once you send them, you have to send them every day. Don't do it based on your preferences or the weather. Otherwise, we have the right to arrest people at their homes. Or simply build a yard like a military camp and let those little guys live there directly, and give them one day off every month to let them go back to visit their families."
Ruan Qingqing nodded and said, "I will talk to them after the spring plowing. If General Chi finds good seedlings, I will talk to their parents and try to keep them."
Chi Jianyu nodded with satisfaction, "Master, you have managed Bale City very well! This is a brand new model, and it must be said that it is the model that wins the hearts of the people the most!"
"Master, something happened in Moliang!" Yue Linlang ran over at this time. "There are many Moliang refugees gathered under the city gates of our three cities, Bale, Moyang and Landi, which are close to Moliang. We are worried that they will attack the city if time goes on for a long time."
Ruan Qingqing's expression immediately became serious, "Is it because of the snowstorm last winter?"
Yue Linlang nodded, "Last year, the snowstorm was quite severe, and cattle and sheep died in droves on the pastures in Moliang. After the spring, the royal court did not give them proper subsidies. Everyone couldn't make ends meet and started to riot."
Ruan Qingqing was silent for a while. "As the saying goes, it is better to ease than to block. Linlang, pass on my order to let 20,000 people into the three cities of Bale, Moyang and Landi. Have them register well, and then disperse and resettle these refugees in the form of work-for-relief."
"Yes!"
"In addition, we will separately count the families with more than three males, and ask them to voluntarily send their males to work in the Liangshan mine to mine iron ore. Each person will sign a three-year contract. Families that sign the contract will be given priority to lend them one acre of wasteland and three thousand red bricks for them to build houses. In addition, their families will be allowed to receive three months' salary in advance."
Ruan Qingqing added.
"Yes, sir!" Yue Linlang went to do it immediately.
"Accommodating 20,000 new people to each city will be a considerable burden," Chi Jianyu sighed.
"Fortunately, this is still within our tolerance. We can't afford any more. Not only is there not enough food, but once they gather to cause trouble, we may not be able to suppress them in time."
Chi Jianyu nodded continuously, "All these aspects do need to be taken into consideration. But have you ever thought about taking down the entire Moliang?"
Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "This is not the right time. We are short of manpower. Besides, if we really want to take down the entire Moliang, I don't have enough energy to manage it. Let them do whatever they want! All I want is to provide Momen with a stable environment for growth, so that they can continue to grow and become stronger until no one dares to touch us!"
Chi Jianyu smiled approvingly, "That's right! As the saying goes, it's easy to conquer a kingdom but hard to keep it. The timing is indeed not ripe for us. We are afraid that we will defeat Moliang and they will take it back the moment we defeat them. Fortunately, you are not a reckless person!"
"The main reason is that the current situation of the three cities cannot afford the consumption of a large-scale war, and the people have just had enough food. I can't do something that will destroy the foundation."
"It's amazing that you always keep the people in your heart. If you were a man, you would be a very good king!" Chi Jianyu said regretfully.
"General Chi is wrong! Even if I were a man, I would not necessarily be interested in being a king! If I hadn't been forced into a situation where I couldn't even farm in peace, I wouldn't have asked the King of Moliang for three cities, nor would I be thinking about how to make the Mo Sect stronger." Ruan Qingqing curled her lips.
Chi Jianyu looked at her puffy little face and said with a smile: "When you become a man, perhaps in the near future you will know that you can't become the emperor just because you want to. When you have all the abilities, you can't avoid it just because you want to."
Ruan Qingqing wanted to struggle a bit more, "I still want to live according to my own wishes!"
Chi Jianyu was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled, "Maybe you really can!"
