Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 409 Difficulties

When Zhang Shun finished stirring the last bucket of millet seeds with his own hands, it was already May 1st.

Although it was already past the deadline for planting, we hurriedly worked hard and finally managed to reclaim more than 20,000 acres of cultivated land before the end of the sowing period.

Although these are very rough fields, if you sow the seeds, you can still get some harvest, right?

As for what Zhang Shun was stirring, Zhang Shun himself didn't even think of it at the beginning. Although he was industrious and indifferent to grains in his previous life, he still knew about fertilizers and pesticides.

He originally thought that in this era, chemical fertilizers might be replaced by farmyard manure, and pesticides were definitely no substitutes.

As a result, he did not expect that farmers in this era actually invented the method of mixing seeds with arsenic to prevent diseases and insect pests. Therefore, Zhang Shun specially sent people to buy hundreds of kilograms of arsenic to make "bibimbap".

Zhang Shun made such a big noise near Luanchuan. Even if the place is remote, the county magistrate should have heard about it.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when Zhang Shungang finished the land reclamation and cultivation, he hurried to Baodu Village with Wukong and Wang Jinyi, and had his invitation sent to Lushi County.

It was ninety miles from Luanchuan Town to Baodu Village. Zhang Shun arrived in the morning and at night, and rushed back to the village that night despite the bumpy mountain road.

Zhang Shun endured being jolted into eight pieces by the war horse, and went to see Li Sanniang first. Li Sanniang gave birth to a son on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Zhang Shun went to Luanchuan Town to reclaim wasteland before the first lunar month.

No matter how good-tempered Li Sanniang was, she couldn't bear Zhang Shunren's disappearance before she finished confinement.

Zhang Shun knew he was in the wrong, so he had to apologize: "As a master, I can't help myself. Why don't I want my wife and children to be on the hot bed, but it's just that the world won't allow it!"

Li Sanniang hugged the child tightly and did not show it to him. She just ordered Zhu'er to push Zhang Shun and said, "My Lord, what you said makes sense, but I don't want to reason with you. Get out of here, I don't want to see you now!"

Zhang Shun begged for a long time, but still could not get forgiveness. Zhu'er couldn't bear it anymore, so she persuaded in a low voice: "Master, please rest early! Let Madam rest for a few days, and I will write to you when you feel better!"

Zhang Shun had no choice but to rest in the matchmaker's room. The red lady didn't know that he was depressed, so she just comforted him with a warm voice and didn't take the opportunity to say anything bad about Li Sanniang.

Zhang Shun was so moved that night that he and Lady Hong demonstrated the farming work of reclaiming valleys and sowing seeds.

The next day Zhang Shun went to see Li Sanniang again, but Li Sanniang was still angry and still refused to see her. At least he asked Zhu'er to take the child out and give Zhang Shun a look.

The child is more than three months old and can babbling. Zhang Shun saw how cute he was and wanted to give him a hug. Zhuer hesitated for a moment, then handed the child to Zhang Shun on his own initiative.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Shun took over, the child started crying loudly. Zhang Shun was at a loss and had to return the bamboo to the child.

After Zhu'er hid in the house, Zhang Shun sighed and turned around. He took Zhang Sanbai, Xiao Qinhu, Wukong, Wang Jinyi and two hundred carefully selected elites and ran all the way to Lu's County.

When he arrived at Lushi County, Zhang Shun also summoned "Little Yuchi" Wei Congyi to inquire about the situation in the city. Wei Congyi was honest, and told Zhang Shun everything about the private actions of the big families in the city and Magistrate Bai, and also detailed the attitudes of the three surnames Wang, Li, and Lu towards the rebels.

Zhang Shun nodded after hearing this and encouraged Wei Congyi casually before letting him go.

Xiao Qinhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the master for arranging this person to explore the city clearly and clearly."

Zhang Shun smiled slightly and said nothing, but shook his head secretly: Xiao Qinhu's problem of trusting others has not changed. In the future, it will be necessary to practice more before you can achieve something.

Wei Congyi did a good job in intimidating the capital in accordance with his orders. However, there were many things that Wei Congyi still could not explain clearly between the time he retreated from the capital and when he was defeated by Zhang Daojun in Qinshui.

In particular, he also recruited a staff member, Azabu, and he couldn't figure out what this person's thoughts were.

When he appointed him to take care of the Lushi City, he seemed to trust this person, but in fact, he was just transferring him away to reduce his knowledge of what was going on in the rebel camp.

At the beginning, whether it was the county magistrate or a big household in the city, they all ended up being at the mercy of others because they had no soldiers or generals. He is not afraid of those who wear shoes when he is barefoot, so Zhang Shun is not too worried.

But I didn't expect that things would change in just a few months. After Zhang Shun reclaimed the wasteland in Luanchuan Town, he became concerned about this place, and the role of the big families in the city and the Bai County Magistrate came to the fore.

It would be fine if Wei Congyi was still loyal, but if he had second thoughts in life, he would just have to blend in with the county magistrate and big family members in the city and lay an ambush to death, and he might not be able to get out of Lushi County today.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun had other sources of intelligence and had already found out what was true in the city. Summoning Wei Congyi at this time was just a gesture. Afterwards, Zhang Shun entered Lu's city with great fanfare and swagger.

County Magistrate Bai and the three surnames Wang, Li and Lu also knew each other well and had prepared cattle, sheep and wine at the gate of the city to welcome the wind. When ordinary people saw that Zhang Shun neither killed nor looted, they still thought that he was a wealthy man returning to his hometown and did not doubt his presence.

The Lushi County town is not very big, but since Zhang Shun moved the nearby rebels to Luanchuan, Lengshui and other places, it has become a lot cleaner.

After the rebels exchanged polite greetings with the county magistrate and large households, they were welcomed into the county government office by Magistrate Bai. The county government had already prepared dishes and drinks. Zhang Shun secretly signaled to Zhang Sanbai. Zhang Sanbai understood and quickly ordered a few soldiers to taste them first to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

Magistrate Bai saw Zhang Shun being cautious and looked a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone entered a single room, took their seats, and then dismissed the servants. Seeing that there were no outsiders present, County Magistrate Bai asked with a straight face, "What does King Shun want to do?"

"When you came here as a wanderer, I saw that you had no food and clothing, so I reluctantly took people in to stay here. Now you have not only settled here, but also cultivated fields, and have had many conflicts with the local people. How can we get along with ourselves?"

Zhang Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him complaining. Although he had several sources of information, he still couldn't guarantee that it would be foolproof. If this person really wants to show off his face, it will end in a life and death situation, which is not pretty.

Zhang Shun heard the words and smiled and said: "My parents are serious. We are homeless people. Thanks to our parents for taking us in, we will remember it in our hearts. How can we dare to retaliate? But there are several difficulties in it. Please let me Let’s make it clear to everyone!”
