It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Everyone has been working hard in their own county for many years, and each of them wants to expand outward, and none of them is easy to deal with.

Therefore, before launching an attack, you must be fully prepared.

Tomorrow she and Ling Xiao will go to inspect the surrounding area. She wants to have a deeper understanding of Xing County.

In addition, some land must be opened up to grow cotton.

In times of war, food is the most precious commodity. If we were to divert some of the land used to grow food to grow cotton, there would probably be people who would stand up and oppose it.

She also had to find a way to resolve this matter.

After dinner, Lu Xingchen read for a while.

The main ones are Xing County, maps of the areas surrounding Xing County, and the two books given to her by the system.

When it was time to light the lamps, Feixue came over and said the hot water was ready.

Lu Xingchen went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Although she was only the daughter of a county magistrate, she had maids and servants serving her, and to be honest, her life was quite comfortable.

After bathing, Feixue helped her wipe her hair.

"Master, you are so handsome."

Feixue was Lu Xingchen's personal maid, so she naturally knew that she was a woman.

Lu Xingchen looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her forehead was broad and full, her eyes were bright and lively, as if they could speak, her skin was white and tender, at the best age, and water would come out if pinched.

She was nearly ten years younger than in her previous life.

The next morning, she went to Lu Kui's room to visit his father and asked him for permission to go out for inspection.

Lu Xingchen came in and saw Lu Kui sitting at the desk, his back straight, writing uprightly.

"Dad, you're well now, why are you still sitting and writing?" Lu Xingchen walked over and said.

"Of course you have to sit down to write well." Lu Kui put down the pen in his hand.

"You still need to lie down more due to your current health condition. Even if you move, you must manage the time well and adjust the strength well." Lu Xingchen helped Lu Kui up, then helped him sit on the bed.

"I'm fine. People die when they are able to die, not when they want to die." Lu Kui said.

"You are saying such unlucky things so early in the morning." Lu Xingchen pouted, looking unwilling to listen.

"You need to settle your marriage as soon as possible, and spend more time with them. When you become a wife in the future... in front of your husband... Dad means that when you and your husband are alone together, you still need to learn to be gentle and considerate, act like a woman, and know how to serve a man..."

Lu Xingchen interrupted Lu Kui before he finished speaking.

"Dad, I just took over the affairs of the county. There are still many things I don't understand and need to spend energy to learn. There are also many things I don't understand and need to understand. How can I have the time to think about these romantic affairs at this time?"

"I came here today to greet you and to take Ling Xiao out for an inspection."

Lu Kui looked up at her and frowned, "You got hurt the last time you went out, so you don't have to go by yourself."

"Last time I was out having fun and making some noise. This time I'm out on patrol and I'll bring someone with me. Don't worry."

"Besides, I am now the magistrate of Xing County. If I don't go to Xing County in person, how can I understand the situation in detail and be confident?"

Lu Kui felt that Lu Xingchen was right. As a county magistrate, how could he not personally inspect the situation in the entire county?

"Then you should bring more people with you. Ling Xiao is too young and impetuous. You should bring Wei Hu with you. Wei Hu is more steady."

"He is training his troops, I can take Ling Xiao with me." Lu Xingchen said as he left Lu Kui's room.

Lu Kui looked at Lu Xingchen's receding back and sighed slightly.

"This child, since he recovered from his last injury, seems to have become even more willful."

When the old housekeeper saw Lu Xingchen leave, he walked in from outside and said with a smile, "I think the young lady has grown up a lot since she was injured last time, and she has become more thoughtful."

Lu Kui agreed with this view.
