It has been a month since the desert tribe invaded Shuiyun County.

From spring planting to the summer solstice, the people of Shuiyun County missed the best cultivation season.

But it doesn't matter, at least the desert barbarians in Shuiyun County have been driven out, and the people who had gathered outside Tongquan Mansion have also returned to their hometowns, ready to start a new year's work and life.

In order to make the people recover as quickly as possible, Rong Mingzhi also deliberately allocated nearly 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury to buy seeds, and then sold them to the people at a very low price, so that the people could go to farming.

Of course, Meng Feihang also jumped out at this time and directly proposed something to Chu Yujia that he had never heard of.

"What, on the sand, you can grow things?"

Chu Yujia looked at Meng Feihang with an inexplicable face.

Meng Feihang nodded and said, "Sand is also soil, of course you can grow things." ”

"This is not the time to joke. ”

Chu Yujia frowned and said, "If you plant it, it's okay to say, if you can't plant it, you will be laughed at." ”

"Who can laugh at you?"

Meng Feihang rolled his eyes and said: "This thing is an experiment, do you know the test, we have the best planting, if we can't grow it, it will be a failure, we are going to study other things to get better, you just say that you don't take the money and it's over, where is so much nonsense?"

Meng Feihang is familiar with Chu Yujia, he knows Chu Yujia's temperament, and he also knows that if he says a few dirty words, he will not be angry with himself.

In fact, Chu Yujia didn't bother with the tone of his voice with himself, but was struggling with whether he should give him money to do that so-called research.

In his concept, sand is not suitable for sowing, and even if it is planted, it will not grow anything, but today Meng Feihang suddenly told himself that he can plant things on sandy soil, isn't this just like a joke?

However, in the end, Chu Yujia still chose to believe Meng Feihang, and asked, "Then you say, how much silver do you need?"

"One hundred thousand taels. ”

"What?"

Chu Yujia looked at Meng Feihang with an inexplicable face, and said, "The surname Meng, you have to know that I didn't spend so much money to buy seeds for the people of the county before, and now you are doing a research, and it will cost so much money?"

"This is called being prepared, and the province is in the future and you are asking. ”

"And there are a lot of places where money is used here, such as planning land, which is easy to say, just order the sergeant to do it. ”

"And then there's the daily care, this can't all be done by the non-commissioned officers in our army, right?"

"So in addition to the manpower of the soldiers themselves, we also have to hire migrant workers, where does it not cost money?"

Meng Feihang snapped his fingers and said, "So, you just have to pay for it quickly." ”

"Okay, good, too lazy to bother with you. ”

Chu Yujia rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, you think about it yourself, this money is not given to you for nothing, you promised me before, I don't have to worry about the silver matter, so you just hurry up and go and give me the silver matter." ”

Hearing Chu Yujia's promise, Meng Feihang smiled and said, "Then you can rest assured, wrap it up on me." ”

From this day on, Meng Feihang directly left Jinkai and two thousand recruits to go to the desert area west of Shuiyun County to engage in his desert planting industry.

And on the second day, Rong Mingzhi was also sent by Chu Yujia to review the local finances everywhere, in order to deter those county guards from daring to come nonsense, Chu Yujia also deliberately asked Qi Zhong to accompany him.

Although he arranged everything this time and let everyone take action, he seemed to ignore one point.

In Tongquan Mansion, in addition to some government soldiers who are responsible for maintaining law and order, there are only 800 of his personal soldiers left, but even these 800 personal soldiers have now been transferred out by Chu Yujia to send 600 people to the barracks to assist in training recruits everywhere.

Now in this huge county guard's mansion, only Chu Yujia and a few small officials are still left.

And Chu Yujia, as the head of a county and the commander of the Northwest Army, naturally couldn't be idle.

The nobles of the city also wanted to get acquainted with him, so they kept inviting him to their homes for a family banquet.

For this kind of scene exchange, although Chu Yujia doesn't like it very much, but there is no way, he is in this position now, he can't offend everyone, and he still has to give face that should be given.

After attending the banquet, the slightly drunk Chu Yujia did not ride a horse, but asked Hu Cong to lead the horse back to the mansion, while he himself walked all the way back to the mansion with Ye Peng.

Tongquan Mansion, located in the northwest, is not as good as Yueling City, there is no bustling night market, and the people in the city have already gone home early to rest.

The streets are silent and deserted, except for the occasional passer-by with lanterns.

It was also because of the wine that Ye Peng became a little talkative, and he kept chattering beside Chu Yujia.

Chu Yujia didn't mind, and listened to him with a smile all the time.

"My lord, I really admire you, you said, you are good-looking, your family background, your marriage is good, and your ability is great, this is already perfect. ”

Ye Peng's footsteps were a little messy, and said: "I don't have the luck of adults, I am a child of a poor family, and if I want to read since I was a child, I have to go to the neighbor's house to read books with the neighbor's children, and I am ridden as a horse, thrown into a dirty and smelly pit, and so on, I don't know how many things I have experienced." ”

"Aren't you still here today?"

Chu Yujia smiled and said: "What kind of height can a person go to is not based on family background and marriage, maybe someone can rely on this step to reach the sky, but the speed of climbing and falling down is faster." ”

Isn't Chu Yujia himself a stark example?

Speaking of family background, Chu Yujia's father and grandfather are both generals in the army.

Speaking of marrying, his wife was a woman who had already been named the lord of the county at a young age.

But what's the use of that?

Not the same is three years of exile?

In those three years, he and his daughter almost didn't do anything to ask for food, but that was also his bottom line, he didn't steal and cheat people when he died poor, and he didn't want to pick up food when he starved to death.

Some people may say that he is stupid, but to be a man, he must always have his own bottom line, and he can't abandon these bottom lines for something.

There is no bottom line called animals, they can be free, they can do whatever they want, without thinking about the consequences.

Only with a bottom line can people be called people, since they are born as human beings, it is natural to have the appearance of being human beings.

"That's right. ”

Ye Peng smiled and said: "Actually, I have heard of the name of the adult before, but it was not a good reputation at that time, but I have always known that the adult will never be as they imagined, because if it was what they imagined, they would not say that sentence, since ancient times, I have seen Lang Jun go west, and I have never seen Lang Jun return to his hometown." ”

Thinking of this, Chu Yujia chuckled and said: "At that time, I was young and frivolous and ignorant, and when I said it, I didn't think about the consequences, I only cared about the Northwest Army, but I didn't think that these soldiers in the northeast, southeast, and even the southwest, the soldiers in the world are all a family in the end, but because of my words, the people subconsciously worshiped the Northwest Army as a god, and either scolded or ......belittled other armies."

He was also telling the truth, if he hadn't said this at the beginning, maybe the other generals wouldn't have twisted into a rope to fight against the Chu system so quickly.

But now it's too late to say anything, and it's useless to talk about those things.

Just as Ye Peng was about to speak, suddenly a sound of breaking wind came, and then Ye Peng's figure suddenly flew out to the side, and the person fell to the ground all of a sudden.

By the time he got up, he was already halfway awake, and when he looked up, he saw a bright steel arrow stuck in the place where he had just stood.

"Yes...... There are Assassins ......"

Ye Peng's face was full of panic, and then he screamed: "There are assassins!"

At this time, Chu Yujia also reacted, squinting his eyes and looking around.

At this time, it was already dark, and it happened that there was no moon in the sky, so it was impossible to see where the other party was hiding.

But what was unfavorable to Chu Yujia was that for lighting, Ye Peng was carrying a lantern.

I didn't think there was anything before, but now that the lantern fell to the ground, they became a bright target.

However, Chu Yujia was not in a hurry to extinguish the lantern, but tilted his head and said, "Hidden head and tail of the rat, do you dare to say anything?"

Of course, the other party could not have opened his mouth to answer him, but he responded to him with steel arrows.

Chu Yujia's body skills are excellent, and his reaction is also extremely fast, when the steel arrow was about to pierce his body, his toes slammed into the ground, and the whole person slid out sideways against the ground for more than half a meter, and was dodging the steel arrow.

But in the next moment, another strong wind hit him.

Only this time it wasn't an arrow, it was a person.

This person was wearing a black night coat and carrying two knives, and the person was still in mid-air, so he put the two knives together and swept straight towards Chu Yujia's neck.

In the face of this person's menacing, Chu Yujia could only retreat backwards, but he didn't sit still, when the person was still retreating, his palms were already spread.

By the time he stood still, there was already an extra sword in his hand.

When!

The long sword held the double swords, and in an instant, Chu Yujia raised his leg and kicked out, heading straight for the man's chest.

This person didn't have a hard time with Chu Yujia, his arms were forced, and with Chu Yujia's strength, the whole person flew backwards and flew out.

Before Chu Yujia could pursue, a series of wind-breaking sounds were heard in the ear chakra.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Arrows flashing with cold light continued to shoot at Chu Yujia from the rooftops in the distance.

In the face of such a swift attack from the other party, Chu Yujia could only dodge.

And Chu Yujia didn't entangle with him, he had already flashed to the corner of the street in three steps and two steps, and then burst into a shout at Ye Peng, who was still in a daze: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up!"

But if the two of them want to leave, how can the other party give up?

After the arrows that continued to fall stopped, the man with the double swords pressed towards Chu Yujia again, and the double swords pointed directly at Chu Yujia's choked throat......
