Yanchuan's eyes flashed with a faint light.

Since leaving the old house, he seemed to have peeled off the ropes that bound him little by little, gradually revealing his true colors.

The young man's eyebrows were filled with a smile: "Most of the refugees come here fleeing from the desert and want to find a stable place to stay."

"Xiushan County is not a good place." Yan Chuan coughed dryly.

Suisui rolled her eyes at him: "What do you mean it's not a good place? Obviously the whole county wants to escape, but unfortunately no one accepts it..." Dai Viet's tax revenue is even at the bottom every year.

Being close to the border, there are often enemy troops.

And after three years of drought, almost all locals want to escape here.

But now, they have Sui Sui.

"As long as they are willing to join the Xiushan County City Defense Team, they can be allowed to settle down for free, and they will be given three taels of silver and fifty kilograms of rice and noodles every month if they join the city defense team."

"They don't have money to build a house, so we can make an advance. Three years, one hundred and eighty taels. It's enough to build a house, and have rice and noodles to eat and drink. We also send meat and vegetables during the holidays, so we can't recruit them."

people?"

Yanchuan took out his abacus and fiddled with it a few times: "Then King Li robbed grain all the way. We seized his ninety-six carts, which totaled nearly one hundred thousand kilograms of grain."

"Let the news out that we are recruiting people, and say we will only recruit the first thousand people."

"How many are actually recruited?"

Yanchuan glanced at Suisui. Ever since Suisui took over Wangjiacun, Wangjiacun's life has been getting better and better. Now there are five to six hundred guards.

"We are recruiting two thousand for the time being." Write one thousand to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

The master wrote quickly, and the notice was written quickly.

He took the county magistrate's seal and stamped it with the county magistrate's blood.

"Go to the city gate."

"By the way, we need to set up a stall at the door as soon as possible. I'm afraid someone will come to protect my name later."

"As long as the city's government servants and so on comply with the rules, everything will be treated accordingly."

Yanchuan calculated: "Now that the city is experiencing a large-scale killing, we must take care of the funeral arrangements."

"All the expenses for the injured will be recorded on the government. If you work for the government, you will not let them pay for it. Five thousand taels will be allocated as funds."

Suisui sighed deeply: "There are fifteen thousand taels left?"

Yanchuan nodded.

"How much reserve money is there in other counties?"

Yanchuan raised his eyebrows: "We can't compare with others. After all, we are the poorest place in Vietnam. The tax we paid last year was only half of the second-last place."

There has been a severe drought for three years and there is no food left in the fields. How can we have money to pay taxes?

The poor people fled everywhere, buying and selling their sons and daughters.

Mr. Lu stood outside the door and suddenly felt...

These young people are smarter than he thought.

Moreover, none of them thought about embezzling the seized property.

"Okay! Well done!" The old man walked in the door with a figure-footed step and gently stroked his palm. He was shocked when he saw that everyone in the room was surprisingly young.

He first glanced at Yanchuan. This young man was extremely intelligent and a good prospect.

Finally, he looked at Suisui.

The baby is probably not as tall as him even on the stool.

It is unimaginable that when the ferocious enemy troops attacked the city, this child stood resolutely on the city wall and guided everyone forward.

He had never seen such courage.

"Are you Suisui?" Mr. Lu always spoke with a strong voice, and all the children and grandchildren in the Lu family were afraid of him.

Often his eyes would glare and his grandson would tremble with fear.

At this moment, the old man's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

This made Suisui extremely disgusted, she nodded and said.

"Stay away from me, you are so ugly to me."

"Pfft..." The young guard behind Mr. Lu couldn't help laughing.

What retribution.

Everyone in the capital wanted to flatter him, but he was kicked out without mercy.

Now I want to get close to a little girl, but I end up being rejected by her with wrinkles all over my face.

Ah ha ha ha ha...

Those second-generation ancestors in the capital are going to be furious.

Mr. Lu's face stiffened, he coughed dryly, and stood up straight: "Ahem, I'm getting old..." Hey, he just felt that his health had declined sharply this year, so he wanted to go back to his hometown to visit.

"you are?"

The young guard stepped forward and said, "This is Mr. Lu, the owner of the Lu Mansion in the south of the city."

The chief clerk was startled for a moment: "Ah!!" Then he stood up in surprise.

"The house has been renovated every year, but no one has ever come back to live there. There are only a few old servants who clean the house."

"I heard that the house is the old residence of a certain official in the capital... Are you... Mr. Lu?"

Everyone in Xiushan County knew that a high-ranking official had been appointed, but no one knew what rank the high-ranking official had reached.

Mr. Lu kept it secret. He had been honest and strict all his life, and he was deeply afraid that others would seek opportunities from his hometown to curry favor with him.

"It's me. I'm not a Mr. Lu anymore. I'm old and have returned to Xiushan to take care of myself."

Everyone immediately responded respectfully to Mr. Lu, saying that even if he goes home to take care of his old age, he is still a high official in the court.

"Master Lu, please take a seat quickly." Yan Chuan immediately welcomed Mr. Lu to his seat.

The old man didn't refuse either.

On the way back, his back and legs were sore from almost all the stress, and he almost fell apart.

The hospital administration said he had at least half a year to live, but he never told anyone.

Suisui tilted her head to look at the black mist on his head.

This person is surrounded by golden light, and it is obvious that he has great merits in this life.

Logically speaking, it should be the end of life. How does it look like?

He looked like he was about to die at any moment.

Suisui was afraid that it would be unlucky for him to die here, so she quickly poured him a cup of spiritual tea.

"No more, little girl, thank you for your kindness." Seeing her hand over the tea cup, the old man had no choice but to reach out and take it.

He took a polite sip.

The emperor gave him countless good teas, but he had a tricky tongue.

But as soon as water enters the throat.

Well, the water is cold.

There was no tea, just an ordinary cup of water.

They didn't even bother to put in the tea stems.

The old man took a sip and put it on the table, refusing to move again.

I have never had such a sloppy tea in my life!

"You are all great. Xiushan is really lucky to have you guys and a little village chief like you."

The guards behind him widened their eyes, and even the emperor was scolded by him in an angry manner in the court.

All the good things you said today?

The sun is coming out in the west!

Mr. Lu didn't chat for a while.

He felt a burning sensation in his chest, which seemed to give him a little more strength.

My hands and feet were weak just now, and my whole body was sore. It was as if I had taken a powerful pill. I just felt that I was in high spirits and in excellent condition.

There seems to be a hint of lotus fragrance in the mouth, and a sweet aftertaste.

The old man picked up the cup of cold tea and drank it in one gulp.

I had just flatly refused to drink, but now I felt so slapped in the face.

I saw him chatting with everyone seriously, but his hand sneaked towards the teapot.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Xiao Suisui looking up at him with a pair of clear eyes.

Mr. Lu suddenly blushed!
