Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

Besides, it costs money to support these people, and the county government is poor...

"Why don't you just let them squeeze in? At worst, send them to do hard labor. I guarantee it will work!"

Shunzi was happily rewarded with silver and laughed heartily. He had made quite a lot of money recently!

The lawyer grabbed Shunzi's arm and handed him a bag of silver: "Our master asked me to ask, can we not come tomorrow?"

Shunzi took a look and said righteously:

"Of course, people like me who practice martial arts should eliminate harm for the people! But... I am a little tired recently."

The master gritted his teeth, smiled and handed over another bag of silver, "If you are tired, why not take a rest?"

Shunzi took it, weighed it, and said with a smile: "It's okay to take a break."

They had wiped out all the bandits nearby, so they should take a break tomorrow.

The lawyer sent the man away with a smile, then turned around and spat, saying how greedy he was!

Anhe Town, Shen Mansion

Shen Lishu was lying comfortably under a big willow tree with his eyes closed.

The sound of piano was melodious, the breeze was fragrant, and a group of people in colorful dresses were massaging the girl's shoulders and legs and feeding her fruits. She was really having a great time.

Xiao Mu was no longer surprised, and as the fragrance lingered, he gently plucked the strings of the zither with his slender and powerful fingers, his sleeves fluttering like a godly young man.

This was the scene Shunzi saw when he came in, "Boss, this is today's reward.

"Also, the master gave us two extra packets. He hopes we don't have to go tomorrow."

Shen Lishu didn't even open his eyes, waved his hands, and said nonchalantly:

"As usual, let's divide it among the brothers who are going out this time."

"Yes, your humble servant...there is one more thing." Shunzi said hesitantly, bending his waist even lower.

Shen Lishu looked at him strangely, "What's the matter?"

Shunzi glanced at the group of girls and spoke carefully:

"Some brothers want to marry some girls around you."

The girls' faces turned pale instantly and they looked at Shen Lishu in panic.

It seemed as if he was afraid that she would really agree.

After all, these women usually eat free meals, so if they can be used to appease their subordinates, it would be perfect!

Shen Lishu opened his eyes, sat up, and patted the girl's hand next to him, "Don't be nervous."

"Shunzi, you've been with me for so long, you know me well, what do you think... should I agree to this?"

Shunzi immediately knelt down and bent his waist even lower: "I believe that marriage is a union of two families, and it requires the consent of both parties."

"It's just that the brothers who asked me to deliver the message this time are all reliable people. If the girls don't want to, I will reject them immediately!"

A girl looked at Shen Lishu with a pale face and clenched teeth, "Boss, I am willing to go..."

"I don't agree." Shen Lishu patted her hands, looked around and said loudly:

"You can live freely here with me. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. I will support you."

After saying that, she looked at Shunzi again and said, "Go and reject them and say that the girls are not in good health and are not suitable for marriage.

If they really want to find a wife, please help them find a matchmaker to introduce a girl from a decent family, and I will pay for their wedding."

"Yes." Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up from the ground.

He is just a messenger, success or failure has nothing to do with him.

After he left, Xiao Mu looked at Shen Lishu quietly and said calmly: "I didn't realize before that Shunzi is a capable person."

Shen Lishu sat down again and ate a bite of grapes fed by the beauty, "You are ambitious and capable, which is really good.

Although he is the youngest, he is already the leader of the four leaders and is always calm and reliable in his work.

But he leaned towards me without hesitation. What did he want from me? "

Xiao Mu lowered his eyelids, and his curled eyelashes looked like a small brush.

"I don't know. He was not prominent before."

Shen Lishu turned her head away from looking at him. If she looked at him again, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and knock him down!

"Sanniang, do those men in the front yard often go to the back yard to harass the girls?"

"Of course! But I beat them back.

But it's normal. The people in the front yard are all old bachelors, and our backyard is full of beautiful girls. Who wouldn't miss them?"

Now Sanniang is in charge of the backyard. She is a fierce woman and has a close relationship with Dulong. None of the men can get away with anything good from her.

She sighed softly. If normal girls were proposed to, they would probably be so excited that they would die.

But these girls are not normal!

Except for the five of them who were rescued in time, the others were all abused, and some even suffered several miscarriages.

How can a girl like this trust a man?

It's better to avoid them as much as possible.

That's why the harassment from the brothers makes them so scared and anxious.

Since it was Shen Lishu who saved them and did not assign them any proper work, they did not even dare to resist or complain.

I was afraid of causing trouble for her. After all, their safety still depended on these men.

If Sanniang hadn't been fierce enough to guard the backyard door tightly and fight back anyone who came, they would have had to endure so much injustice!

Shen Lishu had guessed all of this just now, and it was actually her negligence.

He felt that the girls were suffering a lot, so he always wanted to be nice to them. He was not stingy with his food, clothing and other expenses, and soon he made them fair, tender and beautiful.

But they forget to care about their mental state, so they are harassed by their subordinates.

After all, it was because she didn't keep a strict watch on this aspect.

“Sanniang, go tell Dulong to tighten the control over the entry and exit of the inner and outer courtyards.

He will supervise it personally. If he fails to do it well, I will skin him alive!"

“Also, let everyone know that no one is allowed to harass the girls without reason. If you really can’t hold it back, go to the brothel and find a woman.

Just don't cause trouble. If anyone acts like a tyrant outside, I don't mind cleaning up the mess."

"Hey!" Sanniang rolled up her sleeves and said excitedly, "I'll help you peel his skin!"

Xiao Mu suddenly said calmly: "This is not a long-term solution. Since ancient times, women have been weak and often become vassals. What is the reason?"

Shen Lishu sighed. She understood the reason. "She is weak. A beauty has beauty but is powerless to protect herself. This is the reason why people are guilty of possessing a treasure."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Xiao Mu said this again.

The piano sounded again, this time it was a blood-boiling song.

Shen Lishu lay back in the chair, thoughtfully thinking that it was indeed not a long-term solution to keep them like canaries.

It was impossible for her to stay with them for a long time. Besides, no matter how strictly she controlled the matters between men and women, there would be times when she made mistakes.

These women must learn to be self-reliant!

Shen Lishu suddenly jumped off the chair, ran to Xiao Mu and pressed the strings, "Stop playing! I have an idea!

My handwriting is not good, please write it down for me!"

When they heard that there was something important going on, the girls hurriedly put down their things and left the garden.

Xiao Mu sighed resignedly, turned back to his study, spread out paper and grind ink: "Go ahead."

"Article 1..."

Half an hour later, a picture of dancing dragons and phoenixes and majestic words appeared on the paper.

Xiao Mu put down his pen and said calmly: "You have considered them very carefully, in every aspect."

Shen Lishu proudly lifted up her long hair:

"That's right! You've been eating and drinking for free here for so long, so you're responsible for the academic subjects now!"

Xiao Mu: ...He has been a great scholar teaching strategies for governing a country and maintaining peace since he was young, but in the end he has become a teacher who enlightens women?

"Why me? I'm a man too."

Shen Lishu patted him on the shoulder, with a look of trust on his face, "Because I believe in you!"

It’s because there is such a knowledgeable person living in her backyard, and everyone else is illiterate.

Xiao Mu has high standards and is difficult to please. It is impossible for him to be attracted by this group of girls. The most important thing is that he is so weak that Shen Lishu can't bear to look at him!

Seeing her sincere face, Xiao Mu was a little skeptical: "I have a request."
