Listening to the words of these people, it seems that they are all praises for the current court, but I don't know if it is because of Du Rufang.

The two daughters sat on the side, probably feeling that they hadn't eaten much of the things outside, so they also ordered a lot of food.

However, most of them tasted the taste, and Gu Zhifang on the side ate the unfinished ones.

When the time was almost up, Lu Chensheng got up and left with his daughter.

Seeing Lu Chensheng walking away, the friend on the side asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Du, I haven't heard you talk about it just now, who is the other party?" ”

Ziyou asked curiously.

After talking so much, I still don't know who the other party is.

Du Rufang shook his head when he heard this, "If you have the chance, you can still meet him." ”

He didn't tell the other party Lu Chensheng's identity, anyway, it didn't have much benefit to say it, so it was better to wait for the other party to know when he had a chance.

If he said it at this time, if it was spread out and the imperial history knew, he would feel that he would be better when the time came.

After the Spring Festival, things gradually increased.

Under the cold weather, many places are frozen, and this year is not so easy, but fortunately, after the promotion of anthracite, the people are not so difficult to survive this winter.

"After the beginning of spring, we began to move those sheep to the grassland, and we have already selected all the people."

Lu Chensheng was sitting in the imperial study, instructing things.

"This year, we will start to promote the planting of cotton, and we must not delay, and peanuts and corn also need to be planted in time."

One after another, government decrees began to be issued.

Several ministers began to record what the Holy Lord said, and were ready to do these things in time.

It is almost time for spring ploughing, and last year's grain harvest was not very good, resulting in the price of this year's grain rising until now.

This makes this year's spring ploughing even more intriguing.

"Holy Lord, if you plant cotton, what if the people are not willing to plant it? Last year's grain harvest was not very good, grain prices were rising, and the people were afraid that they would not be able to plant cotton. ”

If cotton is planted, the money earned at that time will not be enough to buy grain, so where will anyone plant it?

The people are not stupid, seeing that the price of grain is rising, and the imperial court does not collect much tax, you can make a lot of money by growing grain, so why do you need to grow cotton?

Lu Chensheng rubbed his eyebrows, "The order is issued, whether it is planted in the people or not, there is no need to force it." ”

Corn and peanuts will not be so easy to expand for a while, but when the expansion begins, there will be no shortage of people who want to grow cotton.

Lu Chensheng is not in a hurry to promote cotton all at once.

"Yes!"

When the minister heard this, he stopped saying nothing.

"Holy Lord, I heard that the commander who went to sea this time brought a lot of soldiers with him, and there are not a few crossbows and the like, why is this?"

At this time, another minister was a little puzzled.

He had just gotten the news, and he asked in confusion.

Lu Chensheng raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of strangeness on his face, "It is said that there are many people from different countries who covet the wealth of the big man, so they brought some more soldiers and armaments, which is also helpless." ”

When the minister heard this, he felt that something was wrong, but the saint didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything.

In front of the imperial study, the monarch and the minister are still dealing with various affairs, but overseas, the commander at this moment is arrogant.

"Mark the location of this island, send a ship back to report it, send someone back and cut down all the trees on the island."

Shan Ziheng spoke.

His face was quite excited, there were many precious trees found on the island just now, such as rosewood or something, which were hundreds of years old.

There are a lot of such precious trees on this island, and I have already earned a lot of money from this trip alone.

When his subordinates heard this, they immediately sent someone to do it.

A little further on, that is, where they were before.

Gentiles.

The corners of Shan Ziheng's mouth hooked slightly, and when he looked at the army he brought on the side, he was extremely confident in his heart.

"Is the general going to prepare to take down some territory this time?"

Haiqing followed left and right, looking towards the other party's gaze, and the doubts in his heart couldn't be hidden, so he asked.

This time, the other party came out, bringing soldiers and armaments, which were far more than before.

When they were before, they had already detected clearly, and the foreign countries on that continent were not so powerful, and there was no need to bring more of these soldiers.

But the other party still brought it, which is a little strange.

Shan Ziheng smiled lightly, he still admired this Haiqing, so he didn't hide it from the other party.

"That's right, the five major legions, three legions are commanders, but there are still two of them, I would have been interested in that position, but it is not so simple to sit in this position.

Having found out that those foreigners were not that powerful, Ben Shuai was ready to conquer them and let them all pay tribute together.

Come to think of it, as long as you can bring countless tributes back this time, Ben Shuai will be closer to this position. ”

Shan Ziheng did not hide his thoughts, anyway, when he came to a foreign country, he would guess it even if he didn't say it.

At this time, it is better to be honest.

What's more, the Holy Lord had personally said it before, if anyone had an idea about those two positions, he would show his own skills.

If you want to, you can show merit.

He was lucky to have such a chance to perform.

"Since the general has such thoughts, why not conquer them the last time he went to sea? In addition, it is not so simple to conquer them, we are too far away from Xinghan City.

At the moment, it is completely alone, and it is difficult to keep up with the supply or something, and this is also a strange territory, but it is easy to get into trouble. ”

Haiqing was a little hesitant when he heard this, they can be regarded as a lone army, but it is very easy to have accidents.

This time, although there were quite a few soldiers, there were actually only 3,000 of them.

is with 3,000 people, but in fact, the other party fought desperately.

There are so many more soldiers and horses, and they brought a lot of grain and grass, but they brought a lot less of the rest of the goods, and many families were complaining when they left.

They got news from the disciples of the family who went back that the Gentiles were not so powerful, so why should they bring so many soldiers in that case?

And Shan Ziheng just stopped it from accident.
