different devil life

In the end, Lu Shang could only beg for mercy.

In fact, when Wang Zhong talked about this plan, she had already reluctantly agreed.

She is also a smart person, knowing that Wang Zhong has given her enough face, and sometimes a smart person needs to know how to advance by retreating.

After returning, Wang Zhong found Su Xiaolan in the middle of the night and told him about it.

Su Xiaolan knew that she was on an equal footing with Lu Shang, and her heart was full of excitement.

She doesn't have the idea of ​​being jealous, but it is conceivable that she is very simple in her heart.

Wang Zhong also told his mother-in-law Zhou Cui about the matter. To Wang Zhong's surprise, Zhou Cui was not only not angry, but also very much agreed.

It's not like Zhou Cui didn't have her own ideas. The Lu family is the lord of the city, and it's the first family in this area. If the son-in-law married the daughter of the city lord Lu, her own daughter can follow suit. This is a great thing, and she has no reason to be unhappy.

The only thing that worried Wang Zhong was Lu Bai.

Lu Bai didn't know how he would react when he found out that his daughter married Su Xiaolan on the same day.

Early the next morning, Wang Chong called the matchmaker, and the two went to the City Lord's Mansion.

In fact, Wang Zhong was much worried.

This morning, Lu Shang had already talked to Lu Bai about getting married together.

At first, Lu Bai also felt that it was not enough face. He felt that it was not enough for his daughter to marry a poor girl.

But Lu Shang persuaded her for a long time, saying that Wang Zhong and Su Xiaolan were childhood sweethearts after all, and that Su San was also the deputy city lord now, so she, Lu Shang, was not considered married.

After talking for a long time, Lu Bai agreed.

So, after Wang Zhong passed by, the conversation with Lu Bai went smoothly, and the date was finally fixed, and a month later, the three of them formally married.

The wedding went well and many guests came.

Because Wang Zhong said before that he could not drink alcohol, everyone did not persuade him to drink, which was considered a lot of face.

After the worship, the two women were led into the house by the servant girl.

"Xiao Lan, are you nervous?"

As soon as Lu Shang entered the room, she sat down on the bed exhausted. After Wang Zhong tortured her, she found herself walking awkwardly. Love and hate were really intertwined.

To Lu Chang's surprise, Su Xiaolan didn't feel anything. This was mainly because Su Xiaolan was born in a hard life. This kind of tiredness is really nothing. Su Xiaolan said that I can fight ten...

Of course, this was just a joke, Su Xiaolan shook her head slightly and said: "Nervous is nervous, but I am very happy, I can be sisters with Sister Xiaoshang, I can't sleep just thinking about it."

Lu Shang's heart warmed up. Originally, she thought whether Su Xiaolan would be jealous, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

He couldn't help but squeezed Su Xiaolan's hand and said, "Xiaolan, I will take good care of you in the future."

"Sister Xiaoshang, we will be a family from now on."

"Ah."

Finally, Wang Zhong entered the house after socializing.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhong couldn't help but sigh, he felt that today was really the pinnacle of his life.

He couldn't help but feel more confident about his future life.

Nowadays, everyone has access to water, and for agricultural societies, water is as important as land.

It is conceivable that in time, next year, today, there will be a bumper harvest.

Next, in order to increase the development of agriculture, Wang Zhong decided to implement a three-step plan.

First, change the backward production methods of farmers.

The specific implementation is to make new farm tools. Once the new farm tools go online, it will definitely double the production efficiency of farmers.

The second is to use big manure to increase fertilizer, and it does not necessarily have to be big manure. After all, there are so many lands, and big manure may not be enough.

Wang Zhong's method is to use the silt in the riverbed to increase the fertilizer, and the better the crops grow, the more fertilized the land will be.

The last thing is to eliminate pests. In this modern society, pesticides are sprayed, but there are no pesticides here, so what should we do?

There is no way to eradicate pests. Even modern society cannot eradicate pests, let alone this time.

But the solution Wang Zhong gave was to eat!

Insects are actually rich in high protein and easy to digest. Studies have shown that people with poor stomach and stomach pains can improve their stomach and prolong life by eating insects for a long time.

Since insect pests cannot be eradicated, it is to be caught by people. Wang Zhong decided to invent fried insect snacks in the days to come. Not only are the prices cheap, but they are also very delicious.

In this way, everyone has the enthusiasm to catch insects, and it can be regarded as a new food source for everyone.

Second, promote animal husbandry.

The animal husbandry industry is too backward in this era. It's not that people don't want to breed, but that livestock such as cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are difficult to deal with once they get sick.

Fortunately, Wang Zhong used to be a veterinarian, and he decided to teach some veterinary apprentices in the days to come.

In this way, the death of livestock is reduced.

Third, carry out trade with neighboring cities and even neighboring countries.

They don't have local specialties in this area, but in the later stage, they can sell farm tools, food, and various handicrafts to the outside world.

As for the handicraft industry, Wang Zhong said that it should be done step by step, and the steps are not too big.

The current top priority is to enter the bridal chamber.

Lu Shang was obviously scared now, and chose to watch the battle...

No sleep for one night.

In the days that followed, Wang Zhong officially took up the post of deputy city lord.

As soon as he took office, he summoned the blacksmiths in the city and distributed several agricultural drawings he had drawn.

"You guys build farm tools according to the pattern on the drawing, and then the city lord's mansion will buy them in a unified manner. You make samples first."

After completing this matter, Wang Zhong went to the inn without stopping, and began to experiment with fried insect snacks.

At present, in spring, there are the most caterpillars in the field. Although these insects look disgusting, they are not poisonous, but have a lot of nutrition.

Wang Zhong also thought about maggots, but he thought that maggots are in excrement after all. What if some unscrupulous traders sell maggots if they are not clean, what if there is an epidemic?

So Wang Zhong only invented fried insect snacks.

In order to make this snack less disgusting, he even named it fried gold.

Because after the worms are fried, the outer skin is golden, so the snacks become taller all at once.

After completing these tasks, Wang Zhong took a few children from poor families as apprentices, and taught them how to treat animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs.

In fact, animals, like people, sometimes catch a cold, and at this time they need to eat some herbs.

The second dangerous thing is dystocia. Wang Zhong also did it himself, teaching them how to deliver babies for animals.

After more than three months of construction, Su Xiaolan and Lu Shang were pregnant at the same time.

This was a great joy, so Wang Zhong cooked delicious food for them almost every day.

In a blink of an eye, a year has passed.

In the second year, Su Xiaolan and Lu Shang almost gave birth one month apart.

Su Xiaolan gave birth to a daughter, and Lu Shang gave birth to a son.

This made Lu Bai very happy, and held a big feast to celebrate his daughter's birth of a son.

This year, although the rainfall did not drop as much as usual, but because everyone had well water, the fields still ushered in a bumper harvest, and the farmers were all beaming, cheering thanks to Su Sancheng.

Now Wang Zhong's prestige is at its peak, and everyone trusts him.

It was also in this year that the agricultural tools developed by Wang Zhong officially went on sale.

These farm tools are not only strong, but also very easy to use, and the farm tools are officially on sale.

The easy-to-use agricultural tools naturally attracted the attention of other provinces. Wang Zhong didn't go to promote them, so many businessmen heard the news and came to buy these agricultural tools.

Of course, it's not that these businessmen have never thought about producing them themselves. After all, there were no intellectual property rights in ancient times, and no one cared about them.

But if you want to produce, you must have a lot of craftsmen, and then understand the principles of these farm tools. After a lot of work, it will take at least three years. After three years, the day lily will be cold.

That's why they came here to buy. For this, Wang Zhong could only increase the production of farm tools.

For the convenience of production, he opened the first factory, called the new farm tool production factory.

After the factory is built, the work efficiency here will not be comparable to those of the small workshops outside.

Chapter 540 The Growing Rice City (please subscribe for comfort)

Mi City is exactly the city where Wang Zhong is located.

In the past, it was just a small city, but after Wang Zhong participated in the governance, the living standards of the nearby residents have risen, coupled with the trade with some surrounding cities, Micheng has quickly become a medium-sized city from a small city.

And all of this was accomplished in just five years.

Five years have passed, and although Lu Bai is growing old and strong, he can feel that his work is getting harder and harder, so he intends to pass on the position of city lord to his son Lu Niucheng.

Regarding this, Wang Zhong felt nothing.

Because on weekdays, Lu Niucheng admires him very much now, and listens to him the most. Letting Lu Niucheng be the city lord is actually just a puppet. Who doesn't know that the person who is really governing Micheng is him, Wang Zhong?

"Sanggong, I have really wronged you. In fact, with your ability, you are completely qualified to be the city lord. It is a pity that my father must pass on to my younger brother."

At night, Lu Shang said apologetically.

"Xiaoshang, you don't have to say that. I'm not interested in the position of city lord, so let Niu Cheng take it. However, if he dares to act recklessly in the future, he must let him know how powerful he is." Wang Zhong said lightly.

"Hey……"

Lu Shang sighed, why didn't she hope that Wang Zhong could become the city lord?However, there are family members on one side and husband on the other, and some things cannot be both.

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

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

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

Things got even bigger this year. A village killed many Haitian soldiers because of their rebellion.

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

When the incident spread, residents in nearby villages and towns were very frightened. In order to avoid being harassed again, many people took their belongings and left their hometowns.

"This hateful country of Haiti has killed many people." Lu Shang also gritted his teeth angrily.

"I heard that Haicheng has stepped up its guard. Haicheng is not too far from our side, so we have to be careful."

Wang Zhong thought to himself, in the past five years, after having some money, he vigorously developed muskets and cannons, but the time was too late and the quantity was not large.

It would be very troublesome for Haiti to harass them at this time.

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

"Don't let them succeed!"

Wang Zhong thought to himself.

"Husband, you have been so tired these days, let me squeeze your shoulders."

Seeing that Wang Zhong was so tired, Su Xiaolan thoughtfully squeezed Wang Zhong's shoulders.

"Well, Madam Lao is here." Wang Zhong secretly said that Su Xiaolan was considerate.

"Let me beat your legs." Lu Shang also said sensiblely.

"No need, if Ma'am is tired, go to rest early."

"We are not as tired as you. If we can use a little of our tiredness to save you a little bit of hard work, husband, it will be worth it." Lu Shang said.

This is too sweet.

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

Wang Zhong felt warm in his heart, if he had a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.

"Hey, Xiaoshang, the belly on your body is newly bought." Wang Zhong suddenly noticed the bright spot.

"Yes, how is it?"
