"I've seen the Seventh Highness." Wei Ruo saluted.

Xindao, are you an overseer so idle, didn't you say that the Japanese have been moving again? Why do you still have the leisure to manage your side hustle here, don't you take care of your main quest?

"Miss Wei has worked hard." Chu Lan said.

"Where the responsibility of the people's women lies, I dare not say that they are hard." Wei Ruo replied.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo's low eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and then his gaze fell on Wei Jinyi, who was dressed as an attendant behind Wei Ruo.

For some reason, Chu Lan felt that this attendant gave people an unusual feeling.

"Who is this person behind Miss Wei?" Chu Lan asked.

"This is my family's guard, my eldest brother has just had an accident recently, and the house is afraid that I am in danger, so he sent two guards to accompany him." Wei Ruo explained.

"I see." Chu Lan withdrew his gaze from Wei Jinyi's body.

Then asked Wei Ruo: "What does Miss Wei think of this progress now?" ”

"Everything is in plan, Your Highness can rest assured, it should be able to plant winter wheat in time." Wei Ruo replied.

"I trust Miss Wei." After Chu Lan finished speaking, he looked at Wei Ruo with a smile.

His gaze made Wei Ruo uncomfortable, she didn't like to talk to him very much, every time she talked to him, she felt tired, and she always felt that he was digging a hole for herself.

"Miss Wei, do you know why I came here to keep an eye on the progress of the wasteland when the Japanese invaders were about to invade at any time?" Chu Lan asked Wei Ruo.

"The folk girl doesn't know."

Wei Ruoxin said, who knows you, if you want to say it, just say it, don't say it.

"Because the military rations promised by the imperial court have not been delivered so far." Chu Lan said.

Hearing this, Wei Ruocai raised his head and looked at Chu Lan squarely.

Chu Lan couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Miss Wei still cares about the soldiers who are fighting on the front line. ”

"Why didn't the rations arrive as scheduled?" Wei Ruo asked.

"In the past two years, Miss Wei has heard about the situation in various places, and there have been disasters in various places, and the treasury is now short of food, and the transportation process has become extremely difficult." Chu Lan explained.

First, there is a shortage of grain, and second, there are also problems in transporting grain.

"But soldiers to protect their homes and defend the country, they can't go a day without food." Wei Ruodao.

"Then Miss Wei thinks there is any good way now?" Chu Lan asked Wei Ruo.

"Your Highness has promoted the people's daughter, and the court can't solve the problem, how can the people's daughter know."

"I don't think so, isn't this method of cash-for-work now thought up by Miss Wei?"

"Cash-for-work is a long-term solution, while the lack of food in the army is a problem that needs to be solved immediately, and the two are different." Wei Ruo explained.

"Indeed." Chu Lan turned around and looked at the large area of newly reclaimed land in front of him, "If this land can really grow crops as scheduled, even if it can't solve the urgent need, it can at least give people some hope." ”

Wei Ruo didn't answer this, she had an idea in her head, but she didn't plan to negotiate with Chu Lan about this matter.

Seeing that Wei Ruo was silent, Chu Lan didn't continue to ask her this question, but sent her an invitation: "Miss Wei is here to inspect the progress of land reclamation, I'll go with you." ”

"The people's daughter is frightened, Your Highness, I'll be fine with my maid guards, it's not good to trouble Your Highness again, Your Highness is a nobleman, and there are many opportunities, so you shouldn't delay time for the people's daughter."

"What Miss Wei is doing is for the people of Taizhou Mansion, and it is the most urgent and important thing at the moment, how can it be said that it is a delay in time?"

In Wei Ruo's heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by.

After scolding, I had to pretend to be very honored and agree in fear.

"Then there is His Highness Lao."

"Hmm."

"Where is Miss Wei going now?" Chu Lan asked.

"Walk along the river." Wei Ruo planned to inspect the situation in the upper and lower reaches of the river.

She has the idea of building a reservoir, because the precipitation in Taizhou is sufficient, but at the same time, it is uneven, and it is dry when it is dry and waterlogged when it is flooded, which is very unfavorable to the growth of crops and agricultural development.

The construction of reservoirs can effectively play a regulating role and provide better conditions for the growth of crops.

"Okay." Chu Lan agreed, and then led Wei Ruo downstream along the river.

Chu Lan walked in front, and Wei Ruo followed.

With Chu Lan by his side, Wei Ruo's whole person became restrained.

She tried her best to distance herself from Chu Lan, and walked with Wei Jin, while also focusing her attention on inspecting the progress of land reclamation, ignoring Chu Lan's existence as much as possible.

After walking for a while, the surroundings became desolate, and there were wild grass and rocks everywhere.

It is close to the river, but because of the complex terrain, the hills and rocky mountains with shallow soil layer are not suitable for reclamation.

Therefore, Wei Ruo gave up this area when planning, and then waited for the planned part of the reclamation to be successful, and then considered planning these hilly areas.

"Be careful." Wei Jin also said to Wei Ruo.

They walked on the hill by the river, with no road under their feet, the gravel was easy to slide, and on one side was a cliff washed out by the river.

"Hmm." Wei Ruo nodded.

The terrain is not suitable for reclamation, but it is suitable for the construction of a reservoir, and it is possible to build a reservoir by building a dam in the gap between several hills.

As he was walking, suddenly a giant snake popped out of the barren grass next to him and pounced towards Wei Ruo.

Almost at the same time, Chu Lan and Wei Jin also reacted.

The two of them made a move, but Chu Lan was a step slower, and the snake was held by Wei Jin by one hand at a distance of seven inches.

Before the snake could struggle, Wei Jin also broke his bones one by one.

Chu Lan's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and his eyes when he looked at Wei Jinyi changed and changed.

Just now, he and the guards of the school captain's mansion were about the same distance from Wei Qingruo, and they shot at the same time, but he was a beat slower than this person.

This was the first time he had seen such a skill in nearly twenty years, and he was sure that this man's martial arts were extremely high.

This made Chu Lan think that there was also a supreme master among the people who attacked him that day.

It's rare to see a master of this level, and he met two in the small Taizhou Mansion, is it really just a coincidence?

Wei Jin was about to throw away the snake after killing it, but Wei Ruo hurriedly stopped: "Don't throw it, this is a snake, it's a good thing!" Whether it is boiled and eaten or used in medicine, it is excellent! It's so big that you can cook a big pot! ”

Wei Ruo looked at the big snake in Wei Jinyi's hand, and he was already thinking of a way to cook it in his mind.

"Hmm." Wei Jin was also not surprised by Wei Ruo's behavior.

In fact, in today's time of food shortage, everyone has eaten up the rats in the fields, and the snakes are naturally eaten by others.

Xiumei hurriedly took out a cloth bag and asked Wei Jin to put the dead snake in it.

This snake is indeed big enough, thicker than Xiumei's arms, and it can make a big pot when you make snake soup.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Jin and said, "This guard's skills are very good, I don't know where the teacher is?" ”
