Chapter 361 Assessment
It will take time to prepare for the invention competition, but the workshop building can be built first.
But after Laba Festival, it was the Little New Year in the blink of an eye.
Because of the war, Jiang Tangtang hadn't been able to have a good reunion with his family for several years. He decided to wait until after the New Year to start work.
Let’s have a good new year this year.
However, her current status means that she cannot have a lively and simple New Year like ordinary people.
At the end of the year, it is time to evaluate officials and distribute rewards.
This year, the officials sent to Nan'an delivered a satisfactory result. On the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, Zhou Lei brought back three large ships of supplies.
In addition to the newly harvested sea rice from Nan'an this year, the boat also contained minerals discovered in Nan'an, as well as the European eider ducks that Jiang Tangtang had led people out to search for but had failed to find.
Although Jiang Tangtang later discovered that the ducks Zhou Lei brought back were not European eider ducks, but a kind of spot-billed duck that lives in waters such as lakes, bays and coastal mudflats and salt pans.
But I have to say that Zhou Lei did a very good job in answering this question.
Zhou Lei carefully recounted what he did in Nan'an after Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan left.
He took Xiao Xian and others with him to clean up the mess and subdue all the rebels in Nan'an. Then he learned from Jiang Tangtang's method of resettling refugees in Lingnan and began to resettle the refugees.
However, compared to Lingnan in the past, Nan'an is even more difficult.
Even the Nan'an government was destitute, with no food to provide disaster relief. Later, Xiao Xian took his men out to sea to fish, and then learned the Lingnan method of making fish meal.
The refugees were mobilized to pick edible leaves and barks, and mixed them together to satisfy their hunger, and only then did they barely survive the crisis.
Later, Jiang Tangtang sent technicians who were good at growing sea rice to Nan'an with the seeds, and he began to let the refugees in Nan'an plant the rice.
Because of the sea, the plague did not reach Nan'an. So although Nan'an was plagued by drought, it was much luckier than the Great Zhou and the Western Rong.
In addition, Nan'an has a special climate and rice can be grown all year round. Although it took some time to deliver the sea rice seeds to Nan'an, it did not affect the cultivation of sea rice.
However, because it was planted late, the sea rice was harvested late as well.
It wasn't until last month that the sea rice harvest in Nan'an was complete. After the harvest, he set aside some of the rice and sent it back to Lingnan.
Another part is selected as seeds, and arrangements for the next season's planting are made without delay.
Jiang Tangtang had to think carefully about how to reward the officials and soldiers in Nan'an, so she let Zhou Lei meet the children first.
Although Zhou Lei's three children still often attend classes and play with Lu Jingcheng and his siblings, they no longer live in the Lu family.
The Su family gave the Zhou family a mansion on the island and arranged guards, servants and others for the Zhou family's children. At night, the Zhou family's children returned to their own home to live, so that they would not feel like they were living under someone else's roof.
Zhou Lei was very grateful for Su's thoughtful arrangements.
In fact, he didn't care what kind of official position Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang would assign him in the future. Everything he did was to repay their kindness.
If it weren't for Lu Shiyan, he would have been an exiled criminal. But it was because of Lu Shiyan's promotion and the Lu family's care that his children were able to grow up healthily.
Just for this reason, he will always be loyal to the Lu family.
In the evening, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan talked about Zhou Lei's official position arrangement in the space.
She used to think that Zhou Lei only had the ability of a military officer, but she didn't expect that he not only had the ability of a military officer, but also had the talent of a civil servant.
Jiang Tangtang said, "After the New Year, I want Zhou Lei to lead the troops to recapture the lost territories like Datong."
Because he and Lu Shiyan cut off the source of the trouble and directly took away the food and grass of the Western Rong, the Western Rong had no way to send troops to attack Bohai County.
After the Western Rong ran out of food and grass, many of their soldiers deserted. In some cities, the Western Rong simply fled and no longer defended them, but in other cities, they were still in their hands.
In addition to the several cities occupied by the Western Rong, there were also cities that were seized by small countries such as the Rouran.
Lu Shiyan had similar ideas to hers, and he had already thought of the time to send troops in his mind, "Send troops on the first day of the Lunar New Year to catch the enemy off guard."
"Do we have to rush like this?" Jiang Tangtang asked in surprise.
"No rush, I have already started preparing." However, he had not expected that Zhou Lei would come back before the New Year. It was just that he was another candidate.
Jiang Tangtang had no experience in employing troops and fighting wars, so since Lu Shiyan said he had already made arrangements, she didn't say much.
But my original plan to have a good New Year this year has been ruined.
Perhaps seeing what she was thinking, Lu Shiyan held her in his arms and said, "I will be home with you for the New Year." After that, he promised, "I will be home with you every New Year in the future."
Jiang Tangtang snorted and said deliberately, "Who cares?"
Lu Shiyan shamelessly rubbed her neck, and then kissed him, "I love you."
Jiang Tangtang smiled and pushed him away, saying, "You haven't shaved yet, have you? It's hurting me, take it away quickly."
Lu Shiyan touched his chin and found a little bit of stubble. He didn't feel any prickles, but thinking of Jiang Tangtang's delicate skin, he moved away a little, "Then I'll go shave it?"
Jiang Tangtang raised her eyelids and said, "It's up to you."
Lu Shiyan went to the bathroom, shaved, and rinsed his mouth again before coming back and hugging Jiang Tangtang in his arms and kissing her again.
Jiang Tangtang was feeling a little sleepy at this moment. She closed her eyes and said weakly, "Don't move around. Go to bed early."
Lu Shiyan looked at her and said, "Are you really asleep?"
"Really sleeping."
Feeling that the man was still staring at her, Jiang Tangtang whispered, "There's no medicine left."
She had no plans to get pregnant again, so she had already taken contraceptive pills.
These pills are made from medicinal herbs in the space, and they are the secret recipe of the Divine Doctor Valley, so these pills will not harm the body.
It's just that the two of them have been together a lot lately, and their use of pills has increased. And Xue Banxian is in Lingnan recently, so she's too embarrassed to go over and ask him to make pills...
Lu Shiyan instantly fell back like a deflated ball. "Give me the herbs. I'll go find him tomorrow morning with them."
"Are you ashamed?" Jiang Tangtang pinched his waist, but this man had been exercising for a long time and his waist was full of tendons, so her pinch was in vain.
"If you're sorry, I'll ask Doctor Xue to change the prescription, and I'll take the medicine from now on." Lu Shiyan said.
Jiang Tangtang didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him. Suddenly, she remembered something and took the initiative to divert his attention. "My second brother's leg has recovered. He wants to go out to sea. What do you think about me sending him to Nan'an?"
Sure enough, the attention of someone whose mind was originally full of pornographic garbage was instantly diverted. "Do you have any new ideas?"
