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

The other two counselors looked at this counselor with shocked eyes.

"Are you crazy? Are you thinking about the young master? You are obviously thinking about yourself."

"Yes, you must be thinking about yourself and finding a way out for yourself."

"In this chaotic world, there are people everywhere who want to be king and dominate the world. I can't find a way to make a living anywhere I go," the strategist retorted.

"I am just sincerely considering the young master."

The three counselors started arguing here, and each of them had his own reasons.

"Stop arguing and let me think about it myself." Jia Rong stood up and walked out.

Jia Rong returned to his room, thought carefully, and then made a decision.

So he took the seal of Song County government and some other documents, left Song County and went to Xing County.

He didn't go to see Jia Wanhe, but went straight to Lu Xingchen.

He knew that his father's character would not let him do that.

Lu Xingchen looked at the young man in front of him, who looked a bit childish.

Jia Rong didn't expect that Lu Xingchen was such a slim and fair boy.

He heard from Jia Wanhe how Lu Xingchen killed Cao Feihu, the leader of Feihu Village.

He thought Lu Xingchen was at least a tall and strong young man.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingchen was not as tall as him, and her skin looked whiter than his. Most importantly, her eyes were like water and her eyelashes were long.

He has the appearance of a woman.

"County Magistrate Lu, I want to talk to you."

"Don't be so polite. I'm older than you. Just call me Brother Lu." Lu Xingchen said with a smile.

"Brother Lu, I want to talk to you alone." Jia Rong said seriously.

"Aren't you going to see your father first?" Lu Xingchen asked.

"You can go see him."

Jia Rong shook his head firmly, "You don't have to see my father. I can make the decision."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, then took Jia Rong to a separate room and asked Feixue and the guards to guard the door and no one was allowed to enter.

"What do you want to talk about?" Lu Xingchen looked at Jia Rong.

"I can hand over the entire Song County to you." Jia Rong was not polite and did not beat around the bush.

Lu Xingchen was not surprised by Jia Rong's decision.

Because anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that there is no point in leaving an isolated county town and thirty villages in Song County.

It would be better to take the initiative to hand over the entire Song County to her, and then we can talk to her about it as a condition.

Of course, Lu Xingchen also knew that Jia Rong had conditions for handing over the entire Song County to her.

"What are your conditions?" Lu Xingchen asked.

Jia Rong felt that talking to Lu Xingchen was very simple.

"I have two conditions."

"One is our Jia family's own property. You can't take it away. It belongs to us."

Lu Xingchen nodded. She just wanted Song County and had no interest in the Jia family’s own business.

Although Jia Wanhe is not suitable for doing big things, is indecisive, and stingy, he does have a good relationship with Lu Kui.

"Of course this condition is acceptable. You can keep the Jia family's assets yourself." Lu Xingchen nodded and agreed.

"What's the second condition?"

"The second condition is that I want to follow Brother Lu," Jia Rong continued.

Lu Xingchen showed a look of surprise, which she had not expected.

"Brother Lu, no matter what you do in the future, you will always need help." Jia Rong explained, "I think I am not stupid, and I have read a lot of books. As long as I am willing to learn in the future, I will definitely be able to help Brother Lu."

"Then how can I trust you? What if you want to stay with me and take revenge on me?" Lu Xingchen said frankly.

"What I gave away is just a county town. I think if I work hard, I may get much more than a county town in the future." Jia Rong looked at Lu Xingchen without hiding his desire at all.

Lu Xingchen also likes people with desires. People with strong desires are motivated.

"I don't know if Brother Lu can believe me when I say this."

Lu Xingchen nodded, "Well, I can trust you."

"These are the only two conditions. Are there any others?"

"I kind of like you."

"You can put forward some more conditions."

Jia Rong shook his head. "No, that's all. These are the two conditions."

"Okay, I can satisfy you." Lu Xingchen said.

"These are the seals, documents, account books, and lists of the people under the jurisdiction of the Song County government..." Jia Rong said and waved his hand behind him.

Several servants came up carrying things and placed them in front of Lu Xingchen.

"Okay, I'll have someone handle it. You go see your father." Lu Xingchen said to Jia Rong.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, then turned and walked out.

Lu Xingchen opened the box and looked at the seal of Songshan County, feeling extremely happy.

Song County is now in our hands.

As she picked up the seal of Song County, the sound of a mechanical system came from her mind with a ding.

'Congratulations host, the territory has been expanded and the life value has been extended by six months.'

Well, she finally saw a number above five.

It was worth her efforts for so long.

Then a treasure box slowly unfolds with the help of 50-cent special effects.

Her space seemed to expand a little bit, but the speed of expansion was too slow.

But this time nothing appeared in the space.

This system is really getting more and more stingy.

She used many strategies to get Song County.

Isn’t mental labor also labor?

Fortunately, as the treasure box slowly opened, a thick stack of papers appeared in front of her.

Lu Xingchen took the stack of papers in his hand.

"Simple preparation and application of gunpowder."

Well, another good thing to help her conquer the city.

In the era of cold weapons, if the effect of gunpowder could be brought into play, it would naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

'If this gunpowder is produced, how effective will it be?'

The system replied, "If it is a half-foot square gunpowder bag, a person lying on it will be blown to death."

"It's still a half-foot square gunpowder bag. Anyone within one meter will be injured."

"Can we blow up the city wall?" Lu Xingchen asked.

"Master, you think too much. It's not that powerful," the system replied.

"If you want to blow up the city wall, you need other auxiliary tools, such as launching tools and outer packaging for gunpowder..."

'In this day and age, the technology is not up to this level.'

Lu Xingchen felt that the power of the gunpowder was too weak.

The last time they carried out a mission, that tiny little explosive could easily blow up a wall.

Technology is truly the primary productive force.

Well...it's better than nothing.

Lu Xingchen has now learned to accept and resign himself to his fate.

"Master, the second master is here." Feixue came in to report.

Lu Xingchen put away the stack of paper used to make explosives.

She needed to find Master Yuan and ask him if he knew a Taoist who could make elixirs.

Gunpowder was invented by these alchemists through continuous exploration and practice.

If he had the instructions for making gunpowder, would those Taoists who were born with a love for alchemy be able to develop gunpowder in the shortest possible time?

"Let your second uncle in." Lu Xingchen said to Feixue.
