Seeing that his own river mussels bullied a dozen of his capable generals so effortlessly that they couldn't speak a word, and tried to express a grateful expression, Wang Kunfeng smiled wryly and shook his head, I don't know whether I should be proud or worried, these half-demons are so easy to bully, it seems that my usual discipline on them is still far from enough!

After torturing these short-sighted subordinates and letting them continue to perfect the land reclamation and production increase plan, He Mujing closed the door and threw his cat master on the bamboo couch in the study.

This kind of bamboo couch is made by the local people with bamboo soaked and dried in the shade. The whole arm-thick bamboo is built into a bamboo bed. There are fences on three sides, which should prevent children sleeping on it from rolling down accidentally. It was specially designed like this. Bai Chunsheng saw that the bamboo bed was quite cool, so he ordered someone to order a double bamboo couch for two people to rest on. A piece of bamboo pole was specially left on the four sides to hang the mosquito net. At this moment, originally The neat mosquito net was bumped by two people, and it was instantly tilted. The strong toughness of the bamboo quickly pulled it back. From the outside, the mosquito net could only be seen shaking violently twice.

The narrow-minded Mr. Mao hooked his foot, and the bamboo hook fell off. The mosquito net was closed firmly, and only the overlapping figures could be vaguely seen inside. Soon, the sturdy bamboo couch shook violently...

The husband and wife reunited after a long absence. After holding back for so long, it seems that the warm season is here, and the mussels are about to start breeding again...cough!In short, when the two of them opened the door and came out, it was already midnight. They had been busy for so long in the afternoon and hadn't eaten dinner.

Fortunately, those who followed them were all old people who waited on them all the way. Hearing the movement in the study, he knew that the couple had reunited after a long absence, and probably they would not be able to eat dinner, so they arranged someone to be on duty in the small courtyard. After getting hot water, go in first for the prince and princess to bathe and change clothes. The reserved supper was brought over from the kitchen immediately. They had just washed up and their hair was not dry yet, so the supper was brought over.

I don't care about etiquette at this time, Bai Chunsheng took out two hair ties, and tied up the half-dry hair for himself and Wang Kunfeng first. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it was better than disheveled hair when eating, and eating it accidentally If you don’t believe me, ask those beauties with loose hair to look good during blind dates, how painful it is to eat hot pot, rice noodles and various pasta?

The kitchen prepared for them white-patterned shellfish porridge, two cages of steamed dumplings filled with seafood, and a plate of fried spring rolls. Inside the small spring rolls were the wild jams they made themselves. The sweet and sour taste was very appetizing. The refreshing taste also perfectly neutralizes the greasiness of fried food.

After eating and drinking enough, Bai Chunsheng remembered belatedly: "We don't have white-striped shellfish here, why is there white-striped shellfish meat in tonight's porridge?"

However, it's too late to go out and ask. The vigil in the kitchen and yard is probably too sleepy by now. Bai Chunsheng asked someone to let them go down to rest. They don't have to go to work tomorrow. They rest at home for a day and then come to change shifts. The couple went back to sleep for a while. It was still a little cold in the morning and evening in the warm season. They shouldn't be sleeping on the cold bamboo couch, but who made the couple angry now?It’s like dry wood and fire, just a little spark can start a prairie fire. In order to prevent the family members from making jokes if they can’t get up after dawn, the couple can only use the coolness of the bamboo couch to suppress the heat in their bodies, and at the same time use Talk about business to distract attention.

After listening to Wang Kunfeng's explanation, Bai Chunsheng realized that he hadn't come to Xincheng to look for him these days, because he was indeed caught up in an important matter.

"There is a large piece of fertile land to the north of Zhucheng. Several tribes there have developed very well. Some people have already reclaimed the land to cultivate coarse wheat and raise some livestock."

"The land is fertile and can produce a large amount of food. I'm afraid there are many forces coveting it?"

"That's right! Although there is no emperor in this continent, there are still some natives who have occupied many fiefdoms. The locals call them lords. A big lord about four hundred miles away from here is said to have taken a fancy to this land. Land, the great lord has a young son whom he loves very much, because he can’t inherit the position of lord, he wants to find a place with good population output for his young son, so that he can sit on this land when he grows up and become a A small lord attached to the family."

"Let me guess, are those natives unwilling to become the subjects of that young master, so they simply want to join us?"

"That's right! Not long after you set off for the sea, the leaders of those tribes sent envoys over. They sneaked here pretending to be hunters selling prey. They only said that they didn't want to be vassals of any force, and they were willing to pay [-] yuan a year. The offering of a catty of coarse wheat in exchange for our protection."

"Heh! These people are quite smart in their calculations. Let us help fight against the power of the great lord, and produce five thousand catties of coarse wheat a year? If our soldiers don't fight, they just reclaim wasteland and grow food by themselves. The fine seeds we bring can’t be harvested in a year, right?” Bai Chunsheng smiled at first, but after seeing the confident expression of his cat master, he thought about it and couldn’t help but shook his head, “I guess you Definitely promised them."

"Yes, but a mere five thousand catties of rough wheat is not enough. The new condition I put forward to them is five thousand catties of rough wheat a year, plus one hundred heads of their own livestock. In addition, if the power of the great lord and the They're in conflict, and their men have to go to war."

"Furthermore, we have to publicize to the outside world that the great lord is trying to embezzle the surrounding tribes for his own selfishness and make those free people their slaves, right?" Bai Chunsheng has almost guessed Wang Kunfeng's plan, nothing more than Taking advantage of this excuse, he took advantage of the opportunity to grab some land from the great lord.If it works well, and with some powerful weapons, it might not be able to swallow the city occupied by the great lord in one fell swoop.

At that time, these indigenous tribes will be sandwiched between two cities, even if they are still allowed to maintain their autonomy, shouldn't they go to the city to exchange supplies?Don't need their good breeds and stuff?As long as they have integrated into the urban civilization, it will be difficult to return to the past life of indifference... This is the famous cultural invasion!

"Have you negotiated a deal with the other side? That's all?" Bai Chunsheng looked at his cat master in disbelief. This guy was never a philanthropist.

"Of course it's more than that," Wang Kunfeng smiled, holding the slender and white fingers of his mussels in his palm and slowly playing with them, "It's all thanks to you letting them bring so many sweet potatoes with the boat, please They ate a roasted sweet potato, and then told them that the yield of this kind of food per mu can reach five thousand catties, which is especially suitable for their fertile land. I can provide these sweet potato seedlings to them for free, but as a reward, they have to Play a play with us."

"What do you want to do?" Bai Chunsheng really couldn't guess what his master cat was going to do right now.

"I didn't want to do anything to them, but I want to ask them for help, to do something to that lord..." Master Cat smiled slightly, showing his snow-white teeth, "Do you still remember that once upon a time in Fish Street When your restaurant opened for business for the first time, didn’t you hire many children to sing nursery rhymes to spread the word?”

"That's called propaganda thank you!" Bai Chunsheng corrected with a dark face.

"Well, it's just propaganda. I promise to provide each of their tribes with three acres of sweet potato seedlings. If they are cultivated properly, their tribes will be able to increase their grain by at least 1 catties during the harvest season. The sweet potatoes are soft, glutinous and sweet. The yield is more than ten times that of the local rough wheat. The envoys are very excited. Besides, what I want them to do is not dangerous. I just send some ragged natives, pretending to be the aboriginals whose homes have been encroached nearby , spread the news to the nearby human tribes, saying that in order to expand the territory and let his youngest son also be the lord, the great lord is about to send a large army to attack all the tribes in this area, and turn them all into slaves of the lord's youngest son."

"The aborigines are used to being free, so they probably don't want to be slaves of the new lord?"

"Naturally, you don't know. The slaves here are even more miserable than our former domestic slaves. Life and death depend on the lord. All the output of farming belongs to the lord. The lord is happy, and I will give you something to eat. I am not happy The slaves have to go to the wild to dig wild vegetables to feed themselves, and those who dare to resist will be killed. The natives are self-sufficient, and although their lives may not be very good, they will not even hold life and death in the hands of others."

"You want them to unite and resist the lord's invasion together?" Bai Chunsheng was so brainwashed by him that he had already determined that the lord wanted to violently invade the indigenous homes, and almost forgot that he just wanted to take down those few tribes for his youngest son. As a new territory, rather than expanding to the entire peninsula.

"That's right! I don't ask them to join the army, and I can't afford to support so many people. However, if I can use these rumors to gather the aborigines of this peninsula, I'm afraid the lord will also be afraid of this force." Well, maybe we can take the opportunity to swallow some new territory."

"Besides, after this time, those natives must have a good impression of us. They think that we will do what we say, and if we say that we will not invade their homes, we will really do nothing wrong. When we need their help next time, we only need to give If they are paid enough, it will be difficult for them to refuse, after all, only if we are good, can they use our influence to fight against the lords outside who are eager to invade their homes."

"So, I will have to work hard on you in the future. Previously, there was not much land reclaimed in Zhucheng, and there were not many sweet potato seedlings bred. I am afraid that I need some support from your side."

"What's the point? This is what we're going to do in the first place, but it's just a dozen acres of sweet potato seedlings. How many do you think you can have? One sweet potato seedling is enough to plant half an acre of land." Bai Chunsheng disagreed. He waved his hand carelessly, but it was just a matter of burying dozens of sweet potatoes, and it was not a big deal to ask two more people to help when pruning sweet potato seedlings.

The couple leaned their heads against each other, and slowly fell asleep while talking. When they woke up, it was already the time when the sun was rising.
