If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

General Shen was very satisfied with Qin Shu's knowledge and taste.

If a woman really puts her hands on these grown men and gives them orders, it would be really laughable.

Although he also knew the purpose of the emperor's doing so.

But I don’t think it’s very good in my heart.

After all, he had been in Beiguan for more than 20 years and was familiar with the situation in Linbei Road.

That is a piece of iron plate that has been forged over the years.

Most people who want to intervene fail here.

He didn't care how Qin Shu would deal with the situation in Linbei Road. As long as the food and grass were in place, Qin Shu could do whatever she wanted.

And he is a military commander.

What the emperor hates most is military commanders at the border having too close contacts with local officials.

As long as the military supervisor of Beiguan handed over a secret letter, he would be in trouble.

Of course, he would not sit idly by and watch Qin Shu face a life-threatening situation.

If something happened to Qin Shu, even if the court sent another governor, he would not necessarily do a better job than Qin Shu.

When the wine was half drunk, both the host and the guests were enjoying themselves.

Qin Shu, who was drunk, took the opportunity to propose to General Shen that during the free time at the border, he wanted to ask the soldiers to help rest and reclaim the land.

General Shen agreed immediately.

This kind of thing is not without precedent.

If wasteland is reclaimed, taxes will be exempted for three years.

All the gains from these three years will go to the pioneers.

That is Qin Shu.

Qin Shu was the governor of Linbei Road, in charge of grain and grass preparation. So in the end, these grain and grass would still return to the military camp.

The barracks had food and fodder.

Qin Shu used these grains to exchange for silver from the imperial court.

It was already dark when the banquet ended.

General Shen ordered his deputy general to escort Qin Shu back to Suizhou official post station.

Early the next morning, Qin Shu called Ma Lai over.

Ma Lai seemed to lower his head respectfully, but his eyes kept looking at Qin Shu from time to time.

Qin Shu held the tea and drank half of it before she said softly, "Ma Lai, I want the detailed information of all the officials in these eight prefectures and more than sixty towns."

Ma Lai chuckled and said, "This young lady is just trying to embarrass me. I am just a thief..."

"Malay."

Qin Shu suddenly stopped smiling, and looked at him coldly with a pair of dark eyes, "Don't play tricks on me, and don't say that you threw the things on me because you saw that Ah-Ying and I were extraordinary."

"You and I both know exactly who you are. If you keep pretending, you'll be in trouble."

Malay chuckled.

Qin Shu put down the teacup and said, "Within three days, I want to know the details of all officials in Linbei Road. Otherwise, you can go back to the capital."

Sweat instantly appeared on Ma Lai's forehead, and the frivolous smile on his face disappeared. He said hesitantly, "It's not that I don't want to listen to your orders, it's just that three days is too short."

"Then two days." Qin Shu looked at him coldly, "I think the emperor has sent you to Linbei Road for more than one or two days. If you can't do this, you don't have the qualifications to stay by my side."

She twitched the corners of her lips slightly, "I will write to the emperor and ask him to send someone else to help me."

Malay lowered his head deeply, his eyes darting around.

After three or five breaths, he responded softly.

After receiving the task, Ma Lai asked unwillingly, "Sir, I really don't think that I have done anything wrong to let you see my true identity at a glance?"

Qin Shu sneered, "What a coincidence."

Too coincidental?

Malay was puzzled.

"That little seal is so important that Cai Yun must have kept it very closely guarded and carried it with him. If you want to steal it, it won't be easy."

"You chose to steal the printing within a month of my arrival in the North Road, so you must have known my schedule long ago."

"I just arrived in Linbei Dao Realm, and you bumped into me with that little seal."

"There are so many merchants coming and going in Linbei Road every day, but you chose me instead of anyone else."

"The emperor's appointment of me as the governor of Anbei is a matter of the imperial court, and ordinary people are not aware of it."

"How can you, a thief, know that the new governor of Anbei is a woman?"

"You can make such a low-level mistake. It seems that the level of the imperial emissary is not very good."

Malay was suddenly sweating profusely due to embarrassment.

No wonder his former brother had reminded him to be cautious in front of Qin Jiezhen.

He even laughed at the man, saying that he valued a woman too much.

Who knows whether the real person in charge of Linbei Road is this woman or the gigolo beside her who is living off her?

He repeatedly mocked Fu Rong for being a gigolo, just to irritate him and test whether he was the real person in power.

I didn't expect that the other party would see through me so thoroughly as soon as we met.

But he was still complacent, thinking how well he had hidden it.

"besides."

Qin Shu's expression was cold and her eyes were sharp as she said, "Ah'er is the head of the Fu family, a family with a long history of mechanical engineering. Why does she need to rely on others?"

"He saved my life."

"And you, a mere spy who is not even qualified to be the guard of my Jiedu Mansion, how can you have the courage to be on par with the head of the Fu family?"

"If I hear you say anything disrespectful to Ah-Yin again, I will pull out your tongue!"

She shouted coldly, "Did you hear that?!"

Malay knelt down on both knees and responded hesitantly.

Qin Shu waved her sleeves and said, "Back off. Bring the things to me within two days."

Malay humbly took his leave.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Fu Rong who came to Qin Shu's room.

Fu Ying saw that he was in a hurry and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Ma, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"

Malay no longer dared to put his arm around his shoulder and joke with him as he did in the past.

He lowered his head slightly, bowed respectfully to Fu Ying, and called out softly, "Master Fu."

He stepped sideways and left quickly.

Fu Ying looked at Ma Lai's hurried back with some surprise, then turned to look at Qin Shu's room.

After thinking for a moment, he chuckled.

His wife is very protective of him.

Why does it feel so good to be protected by your own wife?

I really want to hug her...

"Ah."

Fu Ying quickly responded, "Shu'er?"

"If you're done packing, let's go out for a walk."

Fu Ying understood her intention.

After leaving the house, Fu Ying gave Dongping a few instructions, then he and Qin Shu took a carriage out of the official post station.

The border prefectures are different from the capital.

There were court meetings in the capital, which usually started after noon in the East and West blocks.

On the streets of Suizhou, shops can be seen everywhere opening for business early in the morning.

The busiest shops on the street are various restaurants.

Most of them are noodle soup restaurants.

Even in a small jar in front of a noodle soup restaurant, there was a tomato plant growing vigorously.

Some fruits were ripe and hanging on the branches, swaying precariously.

I don’t know why the store owner didn’t pick them and cook them.

Qin Shu pointed at the tomatoes and asked, "Shopkeeper, can I pick one of these tomatoes?"

The shopkeeper was very generous, "If you like, just pick them for fun."

Qin Shu picked a ripe tomato, washed it with water from a ladle, put it in her mouth and took a big bite.

Mm, sweet, smooth and delicious!

The shopkeeper asked curiously, "Sir, have you seen this kind of fruit before?"

Qin Shu nodded, "Yes, this kind of fruit is called tomato, it can be used for cooking or eaten raw."

She asked, "Where did the shopkeeper get this plant?"

If tomatoes are popular, why is it that no one here knows about them?

If it had not been promoted, where would the shopkeeper have gotten this tomato from?
