But this was the first time Wang Yu and his group had ever seen someone who could win the hearts of the people over the Regent.
Is this princess some kind of reincarnated demon? Is she specifically designed to seduce people?
Wang Yu shook his head violently; he was just overthinking!
When everyone returned to the government office, a group of people were standing at the entrance, including Zhao Yi, Zhao Er, Xiao Hao, and even the officials from the Ministry of Works who had been tortured beyond recognition.
"Why are you all waiting at the door? Have you eaten yet?"
Seeing Xiao Hao and the others outside, Lin Yuxin quickly dismounted, stepped forward, took Xiao Hao's hand, and asked softly.
“Brother Zhao said that my sister would be back soon, so I pulled him here to wait. We’ve had dinner, so don’t worry, sister.”
Xiao Hao said obediently. During this period, Xiao Hao went out early and returned late every day to distribute food with Zhao Er. He seemed to have grown a lot. He was thinner and taller.
Sometimes his face even carried a hint of seriousness; I wonder if it's because he's been with Zhao Er for so long that he's developed a poker face.
"Alright! My lords, you've all worked hard, waiting here for His Highness and me. Now, please go back and rest!"
Lin Yuxin turned her head and looked at the adults who were watching the things on the horses behind them and the wild boar without blinking, and called out to them to go back.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear them swallowing.
Lin Yuxin found it amusing.
[I never imagined that you gentlemen could be so shameful. You've completely lost your arrogant demeanor in the capital. A mere piece of food is enough to subdue you. I'll remember this. When we return to the capital, these will be your dark secrets. If you dare to mess with me, I'll strip you naked.]
"Lord Wang!"
Seeing that Lin Yuxin was talking to them and the adults were all staring intently without responding, Li Xiaochen spoke up to remind them to leave some room for maneuver.
It's not good for Yuxin, a girl, to keep thinking about exposing other people's underwear. He needs to keep an eye on her.
"Ah? Oh! This humble official greets Your Highness!"
When Wang Feng heard someone calling him, he realized he had been impolite and quickly bowed his head in embarrassment.
The others quickly snapped out of their daze and began to bow. It had been so long since they had eaten meat; they hadn't eaten meat since arriving in the North City. Now that they saw wild boars, how could they not drool? Although it was a little embarrassing.
"Your Highness, this humble official pays his respects."
"No need for formalities, please come in!"
Seeing the adults' bizarre antics, Li Xiaochen knew Lin Yuxin was having a blast! She'd really put everyone through this! How could she not be having fun?
If they weren't all standing here, if they were outside, they might not have recognized them as high-ranking officials from the capital, and would have thought they were refugees from somewhere.
Lin Yuxin led Xiao Hao and Li Xiaochen inside first, and the adults followed. Zhao Yi and Zhao Er stayed behind to help Wang Yu and the others unload the goods and carried them inside one by one.
Lin Yuxin returned to the government office and, without time to rest, began assigning tasks for tomorrow as soon as Zhao Er and the others came in.
"Zhao Yi, how's the tree planting going?"
Lin Yuxin asked about the tree planting situation first.
"Your Highness, we have only conquered two villages in the past ten days. The progress is a bit slow."
Zhao Yi said guiltily.
"It's alright. Planting trees isn't something that can be done overnight. The more trees you plant, the more useful they will be. After all, we don't have enough manpower. Here's what we'll do: tomorrow you go outside the city and recruit some people to plant trees with you. Their daily wage will be thirty coins, plus three meals a day."
Lin Yuxin comforted her and came up with a solution.
"This is a good idea. It provides money and food, so the people will definitely agree."
Zhao's eyes lit up, and he also thought this was a good idea. With more people, they could plant trees much faster.
"Yes, try to find as many people as possible and finish planting as soon as possible. My next step is to prepare to distribute the seeds so that the people can start planting grain."
Lin Yuxin nodded and told him to increase his speed, explaining why.
"Does the princess mean that a water source has been found?"
Zhao Yi understood what Lin Yuxin meant and quickly realized that a water source had been found.
"Yes, we found it today, but we still need to send someone to bring the water down. Otherwise, it's too troublesome to travel so far up the mountain to fetch water every day, and there are too many wild animals on the mountain, which is also too dangerous."
Lin Yuxin admitted that the water source had been found.
"Who does the princess intend to send to handle this water diversion? If there's no one else, then I'll go myself! I can manage to handle both."
Upon hearing that water still needed to be drawn, Zhao Er quickly spoke up.
His grain distribution work is almost finished, and there isn't much rice left in the warehouse, so the task of distributing grain will be much easier from now on.
He also had time to free up time to help the princess with other things.
"No need, I have important matters for you to attend to. Let Your Highness handle the water diversion."
Lin Yuxin disagreed and instead asked Li Xiaochen to handle the matter.
First, he knew the way; second, as the regent, he was highly skilled in martial arts and would certainly be able to protect himself if he encountered wild beasts.
Therefore, Li Xiaochen is the most suitable candidate.
"What does Your Highness say?"
Lin Yuxin looked at Li Xiaochen, who was standing silently to the side, and smiled obsequiously.
"Alright! I'll go!"
Li Xiaochen had no choice but to agree.
"Hehe, Your Highness is the best!"
Upon hearing that Li Xiaochen had agreed, Lin Yuxin began praising her without reservation.
Li Xiaochen blushed. There were so many people here! This girl, speaking such blunt truths!
Lin Yuxin noticed Li Xiaochen's embarrassment and lowered her head to chuckle.
This prompted Li Xiaochen to glare at her, and Lin Yuxin immediately stopped laughing.
Zhao Yi, Zhao Er, Wang Yu, and others: ...!
This is too much PDA!!
