Chapter 46 Seeking Death
After the New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared, a group of people sat together, feeling lively and happy.
Yan Xing was a little dazed when he sat next to Lu Chenyang. He didn't expect that the situation would be like this when he came to Lingnan.
They were exiled to Lingnan because the emperor was really determined to take action against the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and they had no choice but to accept it to appease the emperor's anger.
Even the Duke of Zhenguo said to him, "The journey is long and steep, so you'll just have to hope for the best. Dad believes you can survive, but if you can't... try to leave behind a descendant."
Yan Xing: “…”
His father was as unreliable as ever, so his response was: "Why do you need me? Dad, you're still strong and can do it yourself."
Duke Zhenguo: “…”
The father and son loved and killed each other once, and then Yan Xing came to Lingnan. They all knew that with Yan Xing's ability, it would not be difficult for him to survive.
But Yan Xing didn't expect to live so well.
Lu Chenyang picked up a piece of fish for him with chopsticks and said with a smile: "I made this fish, please try it, my lord."
Yan Xing's eyes flashed. He could actually see that he liked to eat fish, which showed that he had carefully understood his preferences.
It seems that there is no need for the Duke of Zhenguo to have a second child, the younger brother he has adopted is also good.
Yan Xing looked at Lu Chenyang's smiling face and ate the fish.
Lu Chenyang stood up and raised his glass: "No matter what brings us together, no matter who we are, being able to sit together and have New Year's Eve dinner today is our fate. Cheers, everyone, to be together, to be reunited, to be healthy and safe!"
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Cheers!"
The voice was full of ambition.
It’s the New Year, and nothing else is more important than that.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Chenyang started working and was extremely hardworking.
He took his men to the fields and learned about the arable land in every village.
Some land was re-measured, and the high-quality and low-quality fields were counted and classified. They were very busy.
Lu Chenyang was very satisfied with the land issue.
Lingnan is a vast area with a sparse population, and most of the land is barren, so there is no large-scale land occupation and any piece of land can be used for cultivation.
However, Lu Chenyang plans to let the people start growing herbs next, with different plots of land used to grow different medicinal herbs, so they must be distributed well now to avoid trouble in the future.
Lu Chenyang was so busy that it was already the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival. He usually spent the Lantern Festival in the fields. The weather was still cold, and Lu Chenyang's face was red from running around these days.
It’s a good thing Zhao Xi didn’t see it, otherwise he wouldn’t have the mind to think about making medicine. He would have been concentrating on treating Lu Chenyang’s face.
Ordinary people cannot eat such exquisite food as Yuanxiao, they just eat a little more during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Chenyang was heartbroken and secretly vowed that next year... or at the latest the year after, he would make sure that all the people in Lingnan could have enough food to eat.
After the Chinese New Year, Lu Chenyang also announced his plan to get rich by growing medicinal herbs.
He selected Wuyuan Village and Jiufang Village as pilot villages, and planted different medicinal herbs on different plots of land.
They provide the seeds and the villagers plant them. They are all commonly used medicinal herbs with short growth cycles and fast growth rates.
First of all, Zhao Xi confirmed that these two villages were suitable for growing these two medicinal herbs. In addition, these two villages were particularly poor.
Lu Chenyang personally distributed seeds to the villagers and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After these herbs are grown, they will be made into pills.
These pills are mainly used to treat rheumatism and relieve pain. The climate in Lingnan is humid, and the Dongyi people who live in the rainforest, in particular, all suffer from rheumatism.
They also made some medicine, but it was not as good as that of the Han people.
This time, Zhao Xi changed the formula according to their physical constitution and climate, and specially developed pills suitable for their physical constitution.
These medicines are incidental and can only temporarily curb the hatred of the Dongyi people towards the Han people.
What Lu Chenyang wanted was for both sides to coexist peacefully. But this was not easy. The hatred between the two sides had accumulated for hundreds of years, so he could only deal with it slowly.
Zhao Xi was also there when the seeds were being distributed. He explained the planting precautions to them in detail and was very patient and considerate.
Chang Jing had never seen her so patient before! He knew that this was all for Lu Chenyang. This was the livelihood project that Lu Chenyang had strongly advocated, and she had to help him achieve it.
During this period of time, he also understood that anything related to Lu Chenyang was the most important thing in the world to Zhao Xi.
He had seen loyal people, but he had never seen someone so devoted and devoted. He didn't know how Lu Chenyang bribed Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi explained everything but didn't feel tired at all. He reported to Lu Chenyang happily.
"Sir, I have confirmed this with everyone and they all understand. I will come over to take a look after the planting and solve any problems if any." Zhao Xi reported carefully.
Lu Chenyang patted her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhaoxi. You are really great."
When Yanxing, who had sent troops to help, heard this, he narrowed his eyes. He felt that this was a little familiar, as if he had seen it before.
Zhao Xi was praised and felt very happy, and her big eyes curved into crescents.
She helped her! Hehehe!
The Shen family didn't have a good time this year. Shen Shiqian kept staring at Lu Chenyang. Knowing what Lu Chenyang was going to do, he became even more restless.
The Shen family is now in a very passive position. He knows very well that with Lu Chenyang's means, if he can gain a foothold in Yanquan County, he will never allow the Shen family to become too powerful.
Shen Shiqian thought about it and asked someone to "persuade" the villagers.
Shen Shiqian stopped the villagers from planting medicinal herbs. He reminded them, "Think about it, how long can Lord Lu stay in Lingnan? His term is up, and he will be transferred sooner or later. Can you leave?"
But the Shen family is different. The Shen family wants to stay here. Now that you have chosen Lu Chenyang, aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the Shen family in the future?
In the entire Yanquan County, no one can avoid the Shen family.
When the villagers heard this, they began to back off.
Between the Shen family and Lord Lu, they chose the Shen family.
As a result, a large number of medicinal seedlings and seeds were discarded.
When Lu Chenyang and Zhao Xi went to the fields to check the situation, they found that a large amount of vacant land was idle.
Lu Chenyang was so angry that he was shaking all over, but the one who was even angrier than him was Zhao Xi.
This was the money her family had saved by living frugally, and they just threw it away!
During this period, her family members have been running to the fields every day in the cold wind to determine what medicinal herbs should be planted in each piece of land. Their faces have been cracked by the wind.
Her family had put in so much effort and were finally ready to plant seeds in the spring, but it was ruined like this!
This is unforgivable in Zhao Xi's view!
Zhao Xi had a sullen face and a fierce gleam in his eyes.
Zhao Xi turned and tried to leave, but Lu Chenyang quickly stopped her: "Where are you going?"
Find a well and poison them to death! Zhao Xi answered in her heart, but if she said it, Lu Chenyang would definitely not agree, but he would not lie to her, so she remained silent.
Lu Chenyang sighed softly and touched her head: "Don't be angry, let's go back."
Zhao Xi was distressed: "Sir, what about your plan?"
Lu Chenyang said expressionlessly: "It's not their fault. They were also threatened."
Lu Chenyang turned and left, his face darkening.
The Shen family, he didn't have time to deal with them, but they came to seek death on their own initiative.
Lu Chenyang went to the garrison camp. Yan Xing raised his eyebrows when he saw him and asked, "Why are you free to come here today?"
He has been busy growing medicinal herbs recently and has not been to the military camp for a long time. He is very busy every day.
Yan Xing asked, "How come Lord Lu is so free?"
Lu Chenyang said seriously, "Prince, lead your troops up the mountain and destroy Zu Xingwei."
Yan Xing: “…”
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was talking about drinking water and eating as normal things.
