When Xiaoyu heard this, she nodded quickly and turned around to prepare food. Seeing Xiaoyu's leaving back, she looked very happy.

Lu Chensheng smiled immediately when he saw this, and not long after he entered, Feng Pingzhou came outside and asked someone to inform him.

Lu Chensheng met Feng Pingzhou in the main hall.

"grown ups."

Seeing Lu Chensheng, Feng Pingzhou immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand to make the other party stand up, these people are all ghost spirits.

Previously, when Lu Chensheng only had Xinghan City, or when he took down Chuibian City and Jiyun City, he didn't see them calling for his lord.

Basically, they are called the shopkeeper, or the son.

It's all right now, Jiang Guo has taken it down, Da Cang Kingdom is probably coming soon, these people just changed their titles and called themselves adults.

There is a kind of tacit understanding in this change of words.

"Report what losses have been caused by Cheng Zhou's attack during the time I was away."

"Yes."

Feng Pingzhou responded and reported after thinking about it.

"Actually, there is not much loss. Arrows are consumed a lot. Now there are not many arrows in reserve, and there are not many glass bottles. Your Excellency knows that our bottle production has not been much, and the stock was not much before. many.

General Bai took some with him, and then asked for a lot from Chubian City. With the consumption this time, the remaining ones didn't even have enough reserves for another fight.

In addition, ten soldiers were injured by Liu Ya, and they have been sent to the field hospital for treatment. After a while, they can fight again, which is not a big deal.

Apart from these, there is no other loss. "

Feng Pingzhou told Lu Chensheng all about what happened, including that he was only defending the city during the battle and did not go out to chase the enemy.

Lu Chensheng nodded after listening, "Well, you did a good job."

This Feng Pingzhou is relatively safe in doing things. When he left, he just let the other party defend the city. As long as he defends the city, it is already a great achievement.

Looking at the other party now, it's good not to be greedy.

"My lord, my lords Wang Tianxun and Li Daifu are asking to see you."

"Let them in."

Lu Chensheng waved his hands, and upon hearing the news of Lu Chensheng's return, the two of them ran over in a hurry, as if they were anxious to see Lu Chensheng.

Wang Tianxun and the two came in, and they were also relieved to see Lu Chensheng in the main hall.

Lu Chensheng is not in this star Seoul, and the two of them really don't have much confidence in their hearts. Now that Lu Chensheng is back, they suddenly feel the backbone.

"My lord, Chengzhou's soldiers invaded our star Seoul, and the previous gold mine was also taken back by the opponent, and the canal stopped working. Should we declare war on Chengzhou?"

Li Daifu stepped forward and said bluntly.

This well-behaved Cheng Zhou actually invaded Xing Seoul, but it made him very angry.

Naturally, at this moment, he couldn't just let the other party go.

"This needs to be stopped."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng frowned and said.

Jiang Guo has just been taken down, and it is already in a mess, and it has not been completely stabilized, and there is Da Cang Kingdom.

It took Lu Chensheng a while to digest these two dynasties. If Chengzhou was taken down, there would be countless chaos.

Lu Chensheng thought about it, and everything is still stable, and he is not in a hurry to take down Cheng Zhou Guo right now.

If Lu Chensheng is willing to directly use the officials of that dynasty, in fact, it is not impossible to take down the Chengzhou Kingdom.

It's a pity that Lu Chensheng didn't have such an idea, so in the current situation, everything needs to be digested.

Hearing Lu Chensheng's words, Li Daifu was stunned for a while, and probably did not expect Lu Chensheng to answer like this.

He also thought that Jiang Guodu had been taken down so casually, and in addition to the battle report just sent back from the Great Cang Kingdom, it was said that the [-] elites of the Great Cang Kingdom had already surrendered.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be an easy task to take down Chengzhou Kingdom?

The most important thing is that the opponent who took the lead in attacking Star Seoul is now declaring war on the opponent. This is reasonable and extremely appropriate.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that Lu Chensheng has no plans in this regard.

"Now there is a shortage of manpower. The previous exams continue. I need you to arrange a selection of talents, and you will be in charge."

Lu Chensheng looked at Li Daifu and said something.

Before Li Daifu could react, he listened to Lu Chensheng's order and quickly agreed, "Yes."

"As for the gold mine, if you don't dig it, you won't dig it."

After thinking about it, isn't it just some gold mines, let's dig for the other party for a while, wait until Lu Chensheng stabilizes the Da Cang and Jiang countries, and then clean up the Cheng Zhou country later.

"Is there anything else?"

"My lord, these are some recent plans of my subordinates, please have a look."

Wang Tianxun heard the words, and hurriedly stepped forward to submit the last memorial and said.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng took over and came over to check it out.

"Has some of the previous projects been completed?"

Lu Chensheng asked casually.

"Returning to my lord, the work has been completed. The canals in Jiang's foreign country have been built. The subordinates have checked them personally. The canals are very useful. It is not a problem to irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of fields. Even if the number is larger, it is fine. of."

Wang Tianxun basically did things by himself, so when Lu Chensheng asked, he was able to answer in great detail, which was also what Lu Chensheng was satisfied with.

Chapter 583

When the canal was built, it was opened immediately, and the clear water rushed directly to the outside of Jiyun City.

The water is extremely sweet, and some people even drink it directly from the water outlet.

In other words, there was too much water, so Wang Tianxun didn't say anything about what the common people did.

Hearing what Wang Tianxun said, Lu Chensheng nodded and looked at the memorial in his hand.

"How's the harvest this year?"

A lot of good fields have been opened up outside Xinghan City, as well as Jiyun City and Chuibian City. This year, Lu Chensheng encourages the reclamation of good fields, not to mention that the reclaimed fields are less taxed, and the people naturally become enthusiastic about farming.

"There is no major disaster this year, the water source is plentiful, and the people's harvest is extremely gratifying, with more than 100 million shi of grain harvested."

Li Daifu was in charge of the people's livelihood, and when Lu Chensheng asked about the harvest, he quickly stepped forward and replied.

More than 100 million shi sounds like a lot. It is very good to have so many grain harvests in just three cities.

However, Lu Chensheng still felt a little too little.

"Now the territory has expanded a lot. You are in charge of the Ministry of Households. I need you to quickly calculate how much land Jiang has cultivated, what the harvest is like this year, and the population statistics. If there are not enough people, you are allowed to recruit some people."

Lu Chensheng began to announce what he was going to do next.

The territory has only just expanded, and there is simply too much to do.

Li Daifu responded quickly from the side, and felt the burden of the matter at the moment.

Originally, he felt that he could still manage the three cities, but now the territory has been expanded a lot, which is a bit burdensome.

And from this point of view, the matter of recruitment needs to be put on the agenda next.

In addition, there is the Da Cang Kingdom. If the situation is estimated, it will not take long for the Da Cang Kingdom to be taken down.

At that time, Da Cang Kingdom also needs him to arrange many things.

Lu Chensheng reviewed the memorials and arranged things one by one.

After all these people left, Xiaoyu stepped forward and said.

"Uncle, the food is ready, let's go and eat some."

"Has Madam eaten?"

Lu Chensheng stood up and stretched, feeling a little tired.

"Not yet, Madam is still waiting for my uncle to go with me."

"What's there to wait for? I don't know how to eat first."

I was so busy dealing with these matters just now that I didn't even have time to take a bite of the meal, so did Qiong Yue, so what was there to wait for me?

Shaking his head in his heart, Lu Chensheng hurried back to the backyard, sat down with Qiong Yue and began to eat.

"In the future, I will eat first when I am hungry. I am afraid that I will be busier in the future. If my wife is waiting like this as a husband, then I will have to wait in the future."

While eating, Lu Chensheng said something to Qiong Yue.

Qiong Yue smiled gently when she heard the words, "Your husband said nothing, but it's just a matter of waiting, it's nothing."

Lu Chensheng shook his head, "That's right from now on."

After speaking, Lu Chensheng said to Xiaoyu beside him, "Don't let Madam be hungry from now on."

Xiaoyu quickly responded, and then asked curiously, "Did you also go back to Taohuawu when my uncle went back?"

Xiaoyu also knows Taohuawu, and knows that it is the place where my uncle lives, so she is also full of curiosity at the moment.

Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard the words, "Go back and live for a while, if you want to go and have a look, I'll just take you with me in the future."

Going back this time, because the journey was not very convenient, so I didn't bring Xiaoyu with me.

But looking at Xiaoyu's appearance, I am extremely curious about what Taohuawu looks like.

Hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately nodded happily, wishing to go to Taohuawu immediately, and laughed at Lu Chensheng.

In the Great Cang Kingdom, after the troops were divided into several groups, Bai Yi led the main army all the way very smoothly, approaching the imperial capital of the Great Cang Kingdom.

But now, the Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom is already trapped.

The Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom also looked pale at this moment, full of fear and uneasiness.

"Who said they were going to fight against the Chuibian City, and join forces with the Jiang Kingdom? Now it's all right, Jiang Country is gone, and now it's the turn of the Great Cang Kingdom. Is there no more than [-] elites?"

The Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom had an ugly expression on his face.

He didn't think about how these one hundred thousand elites were beaten down so easily by the opponent, and the rest were captured.

Now that the troops are empty, and the troops of Xinghan City are at the forefront, how can they fight against each other?

Thinking of this, he roared even more.

"Your Majesty, it was Du Rufang from the Du family who said when he came back that he wanted to join forces with Jiang Guo."

The ministers looked at each other, and then hurriedly cupped their hands and said.

Anyway, they are still talking about it at the moment, and besides, they were not the ones who said they would attack with allied forces.

It's the kid from the Du family.

"Du Rufang?"

When the Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom heard the words, he was stunned and then glanced down, but he didn't see Du Rufang's shadow, so he came to his senses.

Du Rufang had already been demoted by him before.

There were many reasons for demoting Du Rufang, one of which was because the other party actually lost when he came back from Chengzhou.

The other one is that this person often contradicts some of his decisions, and coupled with the rejection of the ministers, it is logical to drive him away.

It was hard to accept Du Rufang's opinion once, but he didn't expect to deceive himself.

In his opinion, if he hadn't adopted this opinion at the beginning, presumably Xing Seoul would not have attacked them.

It was because they attacked Xinghan City and were about to retake the vertical city that they gave the other party a reason to attack themselves.

Thinking of this, the Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom became even more angry.

He didn't know that Du Rufang had already contributed to Lu Chensheng at this moment, if he knew, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood for three liters.

"Now that the army is overwhelming, what should you think?"

The Emperor of the Great Cang Kingdom calmed down, it was already at this time, and it was better to deal with the outsiders talking about it first, otherwise the emperor would fall.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to negotiate a peace? Look at Lu Chensheng's work, as long as we are willing to pay a price, we must be able to make him retreat."
