Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 310 We are not afraid of trouble!

"Master, there has been a big movement at the Yunqing border recently."

In the City Lord's Mansion, Yue Linlang reported to Ruan Qingqing with a serious face.

"Yun Qing?"

Ruan Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, stopped discussing with Murong Mei, and looked up at Yue Linlang.

"Well, this is the information brought back by the Yunqing Intelligence Branch." Yue Linlang took a few steps forward, bowed and handed her a note.

Ruan Qingqing took the note, checked the secret codes and marks on it, and then read it quickly.

"Is it because our previous actions in Moliang were too big and have aroused the fear of the surrounding countries?" Murong Mei quickly figured out the key.

"Well, I'm afraid Yun Qing is just the beginning." Ruan Qingqing nodded seriously, "What I didn't expect was that Yun Qing was the fastest."

Murong Mei frowned slightly, "I heard that the current royal family of Yunqing was able to conquer the world thanks to your sponsorship back then. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so hasty to act."

Ruan Qingqing said with a cold look, "I'm afraid some people can't sit still anymore and can't help but want to prepare for a rainy day in advance."

"Master, are we going to fight with Yunqing? Your relatives are still in Yunqing!" Murong Mei asked anxiously.

Ruan Qingqing shook her head, "We won't fight Yun Qing unless it's absolutely necessary."

"But the big guys have provoked us. If we don't show any reaction, they will think we are easy to bully and let them control us!" Yue Linlang said worriedly.

"No rush! Linlang, whose idea was it for Yunqing's big move on the border in Zhou family? Let Chase find out the news as soon as possible!" Ruan Qingqing ordered calmly.

"Yes!" Yue Linlang took the order and retreated.

"Master, why did you do this?" When there were only two people left in the room, Murong Mei asked Ruan Qingqing in confusion.

"Because..." Ruan Qingqing raised her head, clasped her hands, looked into the distance and said faintly, "I'm giving them a chance."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Murong Mei was even more confused.

"If it was Yunqing's emperor or eldest prince who did it this time, there is still a chance for everything to turn around, and we don't have to fight Yunqing."

"What if it was Second Prince Yunqing who advocated this?" Murong Mei asked immediately.

"If it was Zhou Zheng who did it..." Ruan Qingqing paused, "I'm afraid this great master will have to work harder!"

"What do you mean?" Murong Mei was confused.

"Zhou Zheng, I know him. He is broad-minded, open-minded, and has both moral integrity and talent. He is a ruler who seeks the welfare of the people. If this is the proposal of the Emperor of Yunqing or their eldest prince, I will talk to the Emperor of Yunqing. The Emperor of Yunqing should let the capable take the position."

Ruan Qingqing's expression darkened when she said this. "Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Zhou Zheng also has this plan. If this is the case, we will have to go through a period of war. If Yun Qing makes a move, the whole body will be affected. If we don't pacify the world, I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful life!"

"Master..." Murong Mei's face became nervous.

Ruan Qingqing chuckled, "Don't worry, this is just the worst-case scenario! Based on my understanding of Zhou Zheng, he would not do this."

"But human hearts are hard to predict!" Murong Mei pursed her lips.

Ruan Qingqing nodded, "That's why I asked Chase to confirm it carefully."

"Sir, you have considered everything carefully!" Murong Mei turned around and discussed the previous matters with Ruan Qingqing again.

"We have a plot of land planted in the Agricultural Hall, and Cuihua has done a great job. She has done a great job in both the innovation of high-yield seeds and the arrangement of agricultural work. However, it is difficult for us to control the grain in the hands of the common people. Although we advise them not to sell grain easily, we cannot stop them from selling it secretly. Instead of this, I think it would be better to slightly increase the tax rate and concentrate the money and grain in the hands of the common people in the City Lord's Mansion."

Ruan Qingqing refused without even thinking.

"No! Although raising the tax rate can ensure that food and grain are not lost to the outside world to a certain extent, it will also increase the burden on the people. The people of the three cities cannot rest and recuperate without extra money!"

"But..." Murong Mei said with difficulty, "This is a good idea that kills two birds with one stone. It not only solves the loss of daily necessities such as cloth and food in our three cities, but also increases the income of our City Lord's Mansion.

Ruan Qingqing lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "How about this! Our City Lord's Mansion collects grain from the general public. Not only do we offer fair prices, but any common people who sell more than a certain amount of cloth and grain to our City Lord's Mansion can get one pound of the latest high-yield seeds for free next year based on the number of registered people."

Murong Mei's eyes lit up, "Master, this is a good idea! Everyone knows that the new seeds developed by our Agricultural Affairs Hall are highly respected. Master, this move will probably make the people happy for a long time!"

"Go!" Ruan Qingqing ordered lightly.

"Yes! Giant!"

When Murong Mei disappeared from sight, Ruan Qingqing's shoulders instantly collapsed. She was not as calm as she appeared to be. If they didn't do it well, they would be besieged by the eight countries.

After taking three deep breaths, she couldn't wait to walk into her own small kitchen next door.

Damn!

It didn't matter that she didn't have the conditions before, but now that food is plentiful, she has to make a delicious meal to calm herself down.

"Girl, what delicious food are you secretly making again? You've aroused the thousand-year-old glutton in my stomach." Old Shi asked while stretching his neck at the door, smelling the food.

Ruan Qingqing paused while cutting vegetables, "If you want to eat, help yourself!"

"And Grandfather!" General Chi Jianyu Chi also appeared cheerfully, and at the end he did not forget to scold those behind him, "You tactless bastard, why don't you go to work and tire the little girl out? I'll teach you a lesson!"

Chi Jingxiao came to Ruan Qingqing's side in an instant, "Leave it to me!"

"I want to eat hotpot, and these are side dishes." Seeing that someone was helping her, Ruan Qingqing was happy to have some free time, so she stepped aside to give orders.

When a group of people sat down around the table and started eating, Chi Jingxiao immediately showed a nostalgic look after taking a mouthful of potato noodles.

“I haven’t tasted this flavor for a long time!”

Speaking of this, Ruan Qingqing couldn't help laughing, "When Uncle Chi first ate potato noodles at my house, his startled expression frightened my father as if he had gone from ice to fire."

Chi Jingxiao also chuckled, "Of course not? He exchanges four bowls of potato noodles with you every day. Except for the first bowl, which I tasted, the rest went into his stomach. My father really likes to eat this, even more than meat!"

Chi Jianyu paused with his chopsticks, "Your father is like your grandmother, he likes spicy food!"

"Indeed!" Chi Jingxiao nodded.

"Come, eat! Eat!" Ruan Qingqing saw that the atmosphere was a bit depressing and hurriedly changed the subject, "Mr. Shi, how come you have the time to come to my place?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth and wiping his mouth, Mr. Shi said slowly, "Isn't this because I'm worried about you, girl?"

"Worried about me?" Ruan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then a warm current flowed in her heart.

"Little girl, we also know that Yunqing has increased the number of troops on the border with our three cities. As the saying goes, when the enemy comes, the general will stop him; when the water comes, the earth will cover it. Little girl, don't feel too stressed!"

Chi Jianyu spoke first to comfort him.

Old Shi glanced at Chi Jianyu and his grandson unhappily, "It was your good grandson who did this. He went to Moliang to seek revenge without permission, and that's why he brought all this trouble upon the girl!"

"Since that villain Moliang had the evil intention to send people to assassinate the little girl, he should be prepared to be exterminated! Xiao'er did the right thing! We people from Sancheng are kind and righteous, but we can't be without blood!" Chi Jianyu retorted.

Then he looked at Ruan Qingqing with his eyes sparkling, "Little girl, if necessary, my old bones can still be put on the battlefield, and Xiao'er's group of wolf soldiers are also on standby at any time. We are not afraid of trouble! I think every good man in our three cities will not be afraid! No one can covet the silver and grain in our three cities! And no one can occupy an inch of land in our three cities!"
