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

Lu Xingchen came in and walked under the window. There was quite a bit of noise inside.

"Master, that's enough. I have something to talk to you about." Lu Xingchen's slow voice came in from outside the window.

Master Yuan Tianshi had good hearing, but when he heard Lu Xingchen's voice, he immediately lost his fighting spirit.

"What are you doing? I'm not satisfied yet..."

"Why are you getting worse?"

Master Yuan Tianshi jumped up and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"The county magistrate has arrived, you idiot."

Master Yuan put on his clothes in a hurry, with his hair in a mess and his clothes not tied properly, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.

"My Lord County Magistrate, how did you find your way here?" Even though Yuan Tianshi's face was as thick as a city wall, he still felt extremely ashamed when he saw Lu Xingchen.

"I have something to ask the Heavenly Master. I didn't expect it to be in broad daylight..." Lu Xingchen pursed his lips and smiled softly, "I still have to be patient in the future and wait until night..."

Master Yuan Tianshi wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Besides, you Taoists can practice dual cultivation, why don't you just take him into the room? Why bother..."

Yuan Tianshi shook his head, "Women... No!"

Yuan Tianshi originally wanted to say that women were filthy creatures that were not suitable for pure cultivation. Women were not allowed to appear in Taoist temples.

Suddenly he realized something and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"This is not a difficult thing. Let's just say it here and you can continue." Lu Xingchen sat down.

Master Yuan Tianshi no longer pretended to be an immortal, and stood in front of Lu Xingchen with his body hunched.

"What do you want, Lord County Lord?"

"Do you know any fellow elixirs who like to make medicine?"

"I want to make gunpowder, but there is no talent in this field."

"If you know any, please take the trouble to go out and find a few for me. Don't worry, you won't lose any money."

Originally he thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just a favor to him.

"That's easy. I have several fellow Taoists who like to make pills. Some of them even had their legs and feet blown off because of making pills."

"If they hear about this good thing, as long as they can have something to eat, they will come."

"Okay, then go ahead. As for the silver, you can get it from Master Guo. Just tell him that I gave you the authority." After Lu Xingchen finished speaking, he stood up.

"Go on, I'm the one who ruined your fun."

After Lu Xingchen finished speaking, he left Widow Cao's yard.

Widow Cao had already put on her clothes and walked out, and heard Lu Xingchen say, "Go on."

When she saw Lu Xingchen leaving, she looked at Master Yuan Tianshi.

"Come on, let's continue."

Master Yuan really wanted to kick Widow Cao to the ground.

It's already this late and you're still thinking about things in bed.

Master Yuan hurriedly left Widow Cao's yard, went back to the Taoist temple to change his clothes, then went to Master Guo to get the silver and left Xing County.

Early the next morning, Lu Yunfeng packed his things and prepared to go to Song County to take up his post.

He went to see Lu Kui last night and talked a lot to Lu Kui.

Many of the words are outrageous.

But in the end, it all comes down to one thing: Lu Xingchen is not simple.

Of course, they also have some speculations, feeling that this Lu Xingchen seems not to be the same Lu Xingchen as before.

But since this involves the theory of gods and ghosts, they naturally dare not be sure.

But in the end, both Lu Kui and Lu Yunfeng felt a little excited.

No matter what age men are, they have a natural desire for power.

Lu Xingchen seemed to be growing bigger and stronger, expanding their power.

Linghu Qing didn't expect that Songshan County would also become Lu Xingchen's.

During this period of time, he has been learning from Master Guo.

Although the time was short, I learned a lot.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingchen sent him to follow Lu Yunfeng to govern Song County.

"Uncle, you take 500 people with you this time." Lu Xingchen said to Lu Yunfeng, "Song County originally had some soldiers and horses, you can organize them."

During this period, Lu Xingchen was not only looking for skilled craftsmen, but also recruiting people.

The number of soldiers and horses capable of fighting has expanded from the original two thousand to nearly four thousand.

Moreover, she trained a thousand of them as full-time soldiers.

But she still lacks a set of standards for military training in this era.

Of course, she could train these people using the same methods that later masters used to train them.

It’s just that the training they received at that time was very strict and hard.

Because what the organization needs is the elite among the elite.

Therefore, the organization's training methods are not suitable for these people.

So she handed the training of these people over to Wei Hu and Zhang Fan.

However, Wei Hu and Zhang Fan have already reached their ceiling of ability. If they want to move up to the next level, it is impossible to do so through training alone.

Lu Yunfeng naturally knew what these five hundred people meant to him.

"Thank you, Xingchen. I promise to stabilize Song County."

Lu Xingchen nodded, "If there is anything going on with Second Uncle, you must send someone back to inform me in time. We will solve it together."

Ordinary people naturally have no problem, but there are still some wealthy families and gentry.

They have a very good relationship with Jia Wanhe and have invested a lot in him. Now that the county magistrate has suddenly been replaced, they have to adapt and reinvest again.

However, Lu Xingchen has allowed Lu Yunfeng to hand over some business to these gentry and wealthy families.

They are all businessmen, and they will support you immediately as long as they can make money.

Recently, more and more refugees have come to Xing County. After Lu Xingchen killed a group of refugees who were causing trouble, the refugees no longer dared to cause trouble after arriving in Xing County.

But many people were unwilling to leave and stayed in Xing County.

"There are more and more refugees. We have to find a way to solve the problem." Master Guo said to Lu Xingchen.

After Lu Yunfeng took Linghu Qing away, the internal affairs of Xing County were handed over to Master Guo.

Lu Xingchen also handed Jia Rong over to Master Guo.

Fortunately, Jia Rong was well-educated, a smart man, and was also good at accounting.

Jia Rong was able to quickly master what Linghu Qing had done before.

"Then let them go digging, and then see if the mine needs people, and recruit all those who can go." Lu Xingchen said.

"Yes, there is also the official road between Xing County and Song County, which can be repaired."

“These refugees don’t need to be fed.”

"Give more silver to skilled craftsmen, and only feed ordinary laborers until they are half full."

"Our Xing County is not a charity either."

Master Guo nodded in agreement.

"By the way, if there are young and strong people who are willing to join the army, they can be sent to Wei Hu and Zhang Fan for selection first."

Some people look young, but in fact, after all the time on the run, their foundation has long since collapsed.

She is now working hard to train Lu Feng.
