Jiang Xingchen didn't cook for them in the end, going back and forth for more than ten days, and he couldn't sleep on the ice for three days in a row, he really couldn't bear it.

After entering the house, seeing the wild pheasant eggs still on the edge of the warm kang, Jiang Xingchen smiled bitterly and knocked on Mei'er's head, then fell into the kang and fell asleep.

I slept so darkly that I didn't even dream, and I woke up late at night, and I was afraid that I had slept for more than 20 months.

Jiang Xingchen opened his eyes and found that the room was still lit with oil lamps, and there was warmth on his side. Turning her head, she saw Mei'er holding the doll in one hand, close to her side and falling asleep, her other hand still grabbing her sleeve.

"This girl, she doesn't even stop sleeping with the lamp......" As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Xingchen suddenly remembered that Mei'er had said that she would buy herself the best oil lamp.

"Could it be that I was really afraid of the dark before?" Jiang Xingchen said secretly, and his heart was a little moved. This girl has been silently taking care of herself!

"Brother, don't leave Mei'er for so long in the future......" Mei'er beside him suddenly muttered, and then turned over, and the whole person curled up into his arms.

"No, no......" Jiang Xingchen said softly, raising his hand to slowly smooth her hair. Since the little girl's condition improved, she hadn't spoken in her dreams for a long time, which shows how difficult her mood has been in the past ten days.

For a long time, until Mei'er was breathing evenly, Jiang Xingchen stopped, pulled the quilt and gently covered him, and then slowly moved his body to the ground, after sleeping for so long, he was a little hungry, and was going to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Wrapped in two layers of leather clothes outside, Jiang Xingchen pushed open the door and walked to the kitchen with light steps.

But as soon as he went out, the old man's whisper came from his ears: "Will! Haha, boy, this is called an afterthought, you have lost!"

Followed by Zhao Danqing's voice: "No, I haven't left just now!"

"What doesn't count, there is no regret about the chess piece, which chess piece you touch, which chess piece you touch, this is the rule to understand!" the old man reprimanded loudly.

"But when I ate your car just now, you also regretted your chess! Also, when you arched in front, I ......"

"Okay, okay, I'll let you regret one step, and there will be no next time!"

The corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched, turned his head to look at the old man's room, and said secretly in his heart: "It's the middle of the night, and I'm still playing chess, this addiction is too big...... Zhao Danqing should have just learned, but it should be no problem to play with the old man's stinky chess basket......"

Thinking in his heart, Jiang Xingchen walked over and quietly pushed the door into the room.

But ten minutes, Jiang Xingchen walked out again with a black face, these two people are just a pair of stinky chess baskets, obviously can't see the chess, and they can't see the chess that can kill each other, it's just ...... And the two also have a common characteristic, that is, they both love to regret chess, and they have to play until there are no children left on both sides who have not crossed the river.

"You two play slowly here, I'm convinced, you have the ability to spend the next night!" Jiang Xingchen muttered as he walked to the kitchen......

After eating something and returning to the house, Jiang Xingchen lay down again, tucked the corner of the quilt for Mei'er, looked directly at the roof, and thought in his heart: "This time I helped the Seventh Army to take Pingjun City, it should be regarded as a great achievement! I have also overcome a terminal illness before! Even if the reward for territorial expansion is not easy, the two credits are superimposed, I only need the 10,000 acres of wasteland......

Qingshan Village is such a small place in the small mountain pass, and it is simply wishful thinking to develop into what Mei'er describes. The area of cultivated land, except for the payment of taxes, even the people in the village cannot support themselves.

If the problem of food cannot be solved, then what kind of development can be talked about, and they can't rely on their own money to feed a village, then what will they become, and it won't take long for them to develop inertia.

"Let's write a letter to Hou Ye tomorrow and ask if there is any hope......" Thinking about it in his mind, Jiang Xingchen fell asleep again unconsciously.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xingchen walked out of the door of the house, the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly, and he could still hear the sound of "Gong pawn, Gong pawn!" from the old man's room.

"These two ...... It's really been a night!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head speechlessly, took out his toothbrush and began to wash.

At this moment, everyone in the Shocking Mercenary Group came back from outside the door with a smile, obviously they had just practiced, and everyone had a ruddy face.

"Sir!" After seeing Jiang Xingchen, a group of people hurriedly saluted, and then looked at the toothbrush in his hand with some envy.

They had seen this thing for a long time, and of course they knew how to use it, but except for Xin'er, there was no one in their group. In Jiang Xingchen's words, it is so many of you together, I am afraid that your toothbrush will be mixed up, and the disease will come from the mouth!

One sentence made everyone chill, although seeing the old man holding a toothbrush in front of them every morning, he was envious in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask for it, and the illness came from the mouth, and it was disgusting to think about it.

"Did you encounter something happy, I see that you are in a good mood!" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"Of course, with Zhao Danqing here, we don't have to accompany ......" Han Xiaowu couldn't hide his smile, looked up at the old man's room, and said in a low voice.

"You're good! I'm not good! Do you know how much this food can eat, he and the old man are not only a pair of stinky chess baskets, but also a pair of foodies!"

Jiang Xingchen secretly scolded them, waved them to get busy, and washed up by themselves.

After breakfast, Jiang Xingchen was just about to write a letter to Beihou to ask about the expansion of the territory, when Mo Hongxian and Wanrou came over.

"Master Hou's letter! for you!" Mo Hongxian handed over a piece of white silk.

"Huh, I just said that I was going to send a letter to Master Hou, and he sent it to me first, and what I didn't say was what I wanted to ask!" Jiang Xingchen thought, stretched out his hand to take the white silk and opened it to watch.

"I'll go~" Seeing the content of the letter, Jiang Xingchen's eyes widened instantly: "It's really a matter of territory expansion...... My credit needs to be accumulated, and I won't be rewarded for the time being...... Hou Ye will propose the expansion of the territory, it is difficult to say whether it can succeed, and the current credit is a little reluctant......"

Seeing the end, the corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth couldn't help but pick, his eyes lit up, he slapped the white silk on the table gently, and said excitedly: "It's time to start work!"

Since there is hope for the expansion of the territory, then the rest is a matter of contribution! That is to say, if you contribute enough, the emperor will definitely fight for the expansion of the territory for yourself...... Giving the contribution, he has already been absolutely sure, then he can start preparing for spring plowing after the wasteland reclamation next year!

"What?" Mo Hongxian and Wanrou were both a little confused, not knowing what Jiang Xingchen meant by this sentence suddenly.

"Hehe! I have a big project here, and now we can start work!" Jiang Xingchen explained.

"What kind of big project, does this have anything to do with Hou Ye's letter...... In addition, where did you come from a big project in this small village, even if you renovate all the houses in the village, how laborious can it be!" Mo Hongxian obviously didn't believe it, and felt that Jiang Xingchen was a little bragging.

However, when Jiang Xingchen led a large group of people to the top of the hill, pointed to a mountain beam in the distance, and said that he was going to dig a tunnel out, everyone's jaws dropped.

"Jiang Xingchen, you're not crazy, are you?, what are you doing digging the mountains when you have nothing to do?" Mo Hongxian and Wanrou couldn't help but ask.

"That mountain beam is at least more than 100 meters long, and it is all stone, how can you dig it?" Du Rushan asked a little dumbfounded.

"Boy, are you too tired these days, do you have a fever?" The old man, who had just been fighting all night, stepped forward directly and reached out to hold Jiang Xingchen's forehead.

"Get out, play your chess!" Jiang Xingchen's forehead jumped and he slapped the old man's hand away.

Taking two steps forward, Jiang Xingchen exhaled a long breath, and a confident pride poured out from the bottom of his heart. Pointing to the front, he explained: "This mountain beam separates the river, if it is dug up, the 10,000 acres of wasteland on the other side will never be short of water!"

"Sir, you really ......" As soon as Jiang Xingchen's voice fell, Shi Wazi, Grandpa Fu's eyes widened suddenly, the meaning of this sentence is too obvious, the 10,000 acres of wasteland will be ours in the future!

"Sooner or later?" Jiang Xingchen smiled and nodded.

"It turned out to be ...... That's what my father told you!" Wan Rou and Mo Hongxian only understood at this time, but they were even more surprised in their hearts, the territory has expanded, how many years have passed.

Du Rushan, Han Xiaowu, all the people of the earth-shattering mercenary group were stunned, they were all from noble backgrounds, of course they understood what this meant, the territory was expanded, although Jiang Xingchen was only a third-class baron, and the territory was not big, but it was enough to cause a sensation in the entire empire.

Only the old man was not like everyone else, his expression was stern, and he asked, "Boy, is this matter decided?"

Jiang Xingchen's merits he knew that if he was a veteran nobleman with deep qualifications, the two credits of overcoming the terminal illness and helping to win Pingjun City would barely be enough to be rewarded for expanding the territory. But Jiang Xingchen is different, he was promoted too quickly before, and he has no foundation, those stubbornness in the aristocratic management department will definitely not agree! And once they target you, they will stumble you everywhere, and it will be difficult for you to improve in the future.

"Not yet, but the Emperor has already suppressed my credit!" Jiang Xingchen explained.

"Oh!" Hearing him say this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor suppressed the credit, which was ready to explode together and block the mouth of the aristocratic administration.

"However, before the reward for expanding the territory comes down, you better not start work, lest someone will trouble you!" said the old man.

"Hehe! It's okay!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said confidently: "If you're looking for trouble, let him come!"

The old man frowned, and wanted to persuade again, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say nothing, and nodded lightly.

And at this time, Shi Wazi finally recovered from the shock, and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, although this wasteland is good, we can't plant it......"

Jiang Xingchen waved his hand again and said with a smile: "I'll also solve this problem!"
