Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

They all cried with tears in their eyes.

The crying gradually stopped until she saw that the person sitting at the top was a young girl.

Shen Lishu sat on the tiger-skin chair at the top and felt very hot:

"I will be the boss of Shitou Village from now on. If you want to go back, I will have someone take you down the mountain."

"really?"

Several girls' eyes lit up, then dimmed again.

"We have been arrested for so long that we may have lost our innocence in the eyes of outsiders.

Even if we go back, we will have no chance of survival.”

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

The girls started crying again.

Shen Lishu pinched her brows. The world is too strict on women.

This kind of thinking accumulates over time and cannot be changed in a short period of time.

"Then you can choose for yourselves, and those who are willing to stay will be my maids.

No one dares to force you here.

For those who don’t want to stay, I will give them money to go down the mountain and make a living on their own.”

Several girls didn't want to go home. They were all from poor families.

She was caught by bandits again, and her fate would be to be sold or married off in exchange for a dowry.

Neither one is easy.

Shen Lishu waited quietly for them to make a decision.

A tall girl slowly walked out of the crowd.

Judging from her clothes, she should be from a good family.

The girl bowed and said, "Thank you, Boss, for letting us out.

I am Xie Jingyi, and I am willing to return home."

"Where is your home? Can I take you back?"

Xie Jingyi gently refused, "Don't bother the boss,

My daughter's family is in the capital, and there may be guards looking for her at the foot of the mountain.

This time I was framed and fell to this point."

"alright."

Shen Lishu asked someone to take some money to Xie Jingyi.

Fearing that something might happen to her on the road, he secretly gave her some talismans to ensure her safety.

As soon as Xie Jingyi left, Shen Lishu outside could feel the aperture changing rapidly.

I didn’t expect this girl’s merits were worth so much!

This wave of huge profit!

The other girls were taken away by Cuiwei to wash up...

In the evening, Shen Lishu held a steamed bun in his hands with tears in his eyes.

Finally, I have something edible to eat!

It was worth her effort to become the king of the mountain.

In the following days, Shen Lishu began to reorganize the mountain village.

If you encounter someone who doesn't agree, it's easy to talk to him.

Struck by lightning, burned by fire, or frozen by ice, the choice is yours!

Based on the actual situation, she adopted some modern military management methods, with clear rewards and punishments and clear promotion opportunities.

And introduced new training methods for the young and middle-aged people in the village.

Stone Village gradually became orderly and prosperous.

I also opened a shop at the foot of the mountain. The stone shop was good because of its high quality materials.

With good workmanship and great service, the business has always been booming.

The living standards of the entire village have greatly improved.

Xiao Mu had been secretly observing Shen Lishu, and he found that this woman was not someone who could be easily dealt with.

She has novel ideas and many unknown methods.

Having her in charge of Shitou Village is actually much better than having Tang Dashan in charge.

So Xiao Mu did not interfere, but secretly moved this set to his own base camp.

Shen Lishu: You are a stealing bastard!

Beijing, Zhenguogong Mansion

After Shen Lishu left, Zhao Bijun lost her appetite for a few days but eventually she cheered up.

They started looking for various teachers for Shen Qingwan. She grew up in the countryside and knew nothing about rules and etiquette.

These things are a must for every noble lady in the capital.

In particular, the interpersonal relationships, rules and etiquette of the various families in the capital must be memorized as soon as possible.

Shen Qingwan had the memories and foundation from her previous life, so she learned relatively smoothly.

On this day, the wife of Prince Jing came to visit.

In his words, he hoped that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion could bring Shen Lishu back and marry her to the Prince of Jing's Mansion.

They couldn't even dream of the real eldest daughter of the Shen family, but now they could do whatever they wanted with the fake Shen Lishu.

Zhao Bijun resisted the urge to spit at her.

Ask someone to take out the token, and speak with a fake smile.

“We are also heartbroken over the death of the prince.

But that child is no longer the daughter of the Shen family.

We have no right to interfere in her marriage, so why not just let the marriage between the two families go as it is."

Princess Jing blew away the tea foam and said, "I watched Miss Shen grow up. Her character and appearance are beyond reproach.

Besides, with her current status, it is her blessing to be able to marry into Prince Jing's mansion."

Zhao Bijun almost laughed out of anger. She resisted the urge to spit at her and said casually:

"Everyone in the capital knows that the prince had an accident in Chunfeng Tower. If...he marries an older girl and becomes a widow again, it will be a bit embarrassing."

Princess Jing slammed the table and stood up, her triangular eyes showing her meanness.

"What do you mean by that? Is it our palace's fault that Chen'er died?"

Zhao Bijun quickly stood up and apologized.

"That's not what I meant, but this matter does damage the reputation of our two families.

I hope the princess will forgive me."

Princess Jing snorted coldly, "She is just a peasant girl. Is it worth it for your Shen family to have conflicts with my Jing Palace?"

Zhao Bijun smiled and served tea to the guests.

“Men still have the final say on matters outside.

Besides, this is just a quarrel between us women.

You said so...Princess Jing."

"Humph! You guys at the Zhenguo Mansion are really great!"

Princess Jing left angrily, waving her sleeves, and ultimately did not hand over the token.

"Fortunately, we hadn't exchanged the anniversary cards yet."

Zhao Bijun also regretted that if she had known that Princess Jing was such a person, she should not have arranged this marriage in the first place.

When Princess Jing got on the carriage, a maid came to report:

"I have heard that Shen Lishu has left the capital."

"Oh? Where did you go?"

Mammy smiled meaningfully, "The people in Miss Shen's courtyard said...she went to Fulin County, Balitun."

"In that case... send someone to chase him, regardless of life or death. If he survives, bring him back to be buried with my son!"

"Yes."

After the nanny left, Princess Jing stroked her teacup and said in a mocking tone,

"Shen Qingwan... is a cruel person."

Just after breakfast, the butler from the outer courtyard came to report,

"Madam, the escort company that escorted the second young lady has returned, and they said they have something important to report."

Zhao Bijun's eyes lit up, and she thought Shen Lishu had arrived.

He quickly put down the teacup and said, "Please come in!"

After saying that, he took Shen Qingwan to the main hall.

After a while, the escort came in, looking very embarrassed.

The head of Weiyuan Escort Agency was beside him. The two kowtowed behind the screen, "Madam, I am ashamed to say,

The girl we were escorting...was captured by bandits."

Zhao Bijun's body swayed, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, her face pale.

"You said...what? What's going on? Explain it to me!"

The escort was covered in wounds. He leaned back in his chair and told the story with difficulty.

“From what I see, those men in black are not ordinary people, but more like… assassins.

I was lucky enough to escape and come back to report because my heart is on the other side."

The escort leader handed over the box in his hand and said, "Our escort agency did not complete this mission, so we cannot charge this fee."
