lady, please calm down

Chapter 169
September 22.

The autumn rain that lasted for several days finally stopped in the morning.

However, the sky is still gloomy, and there is an occasional wind, which is already a bit chilly.

late noon.

Caizhou is in charge of the official office, wearing a pile of silver dragon scales and gold armor, Chen Chu sits behind the public case, sometimes meditating, sometimes bowing his head and writing.

Hundreds of not-so-beautiful petite characters have been written profusely on the rice paper.

The content is divided into several categories.

The first item is mainly about the construction of Zhenhuai Army.

The second item is about the development of the thirteen farms.

The third item is how to deal with the Jingan Army, Wuwei Army, and Ningjiang Army
These are the problems that Chen Chu is facing at the moment, and the three problems restrict each other and complement each other.

The bigger the territory, the more and more complicated things, Chen Chu couldn't help but miss those brothers again, at least there was someone who could discuss things when he was in Tongshan.

After writing, I put down my pen, stretched my waist, and my armor clattered.

This set of armor bag is a bag, but it is a bit heavier
At the end of the day, I am very tired.

Chen Chu decided to wear casual clothes to work from tomorrow.

"My lord, there is someone outside the yamen asking to see you." Baoxi, who was a personal soldier by Chen Chu's side, hurried into the hall.

"Just say I'm not here."

Recently, the yamen of the capital government has been a bit lively, with local low-level officials coming to make friends, country gentry seeking friendship, and merchants who used to be dependent on the Zheng family voluntarily surrendering.
When Chen Jing'an was around, he was always there to receive him. Now that he is in Langshan, Chen Chu was already busy, so he took the trouble.

This time, Baoxi didn't take the order and send someone away like before, but showed a strange expression, "My lord, she said she was an old friend of your lord."

"Old friend?"

"Um,"

".,woman?"

"Ah, yes yes yes!"

"Surname Cai?"

"Ah, that's right! My lord has a great plan!"

"If you don't learn well at a young age, learn to flatter and invite people in."

After a while, Baoxi led Cai Wei into the hall.

Cai Wei was afraid of the cold, so she put on a narrow-sleeved jacket early on, with a pair of crimson inlaid white fox down over her shoulders, her melon-seeded face turned slightly pale by the cold wind.

Cai Hua entered Tongshan City on August 27, and has never seen Chen Chu since then.

Today is September 22, a farewell to nearly a month.

At this moment, seeing the longing little lover sitting behind the big case, with a tall and straight figure and a heroic armor, a firm and handsome face, soft and affectionate eyes, it melts my heart.

My puppy has grown into an adult.

Baoxi, who was still standing in the hall, looked at the boss strangely, and then at his old friend.

Why don't these two people talk when they meet?You look at me, I look at you, the eyes are drawn
In the end, it was Cai Hua who spoke first.

"The daughter of the people has seen Lord Douzhi." Cai Wei bowed slowly, lowered her head slightly, and looked down charmingly.

It looks like Ren Juncaijie.

Chen Chu knew that this beautiful snake was deliberately seducing people, but his heart still missed a beat, but he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Ha ha,"

Hearing this, Cai Wei raised her head and looked directly at Chen Dutong, biting her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, "What?"

"Here and now?"

"Here and now!"

"Uh, Baoxi, go get busy."

"My lord, I'm not busy." Baoxi scratched his head and said strangely.

As a personal soldier, the task is to accompany the adults, what else can I be busy with?

"If you're not busy, find something to do! I'll communicate with this girl."

"Oh..." Baoxi didn't understand why the lord was suddenly upset.

"Close the door."

"Oh."

'Crackling~'

The door was slowly closed, Cai Wei stopped pretending, and walked forward with a pair of long legs, and Chen Chu also got up from behind the case to meet him.

One person rushes forward like a swallow throwing a forest, and the other stretches his arms like a bow and an arrow.

A warm hug was a matter of course, followed by a fierce bickering that lasted for tens of breaths.

Whether it is the cold and ruthless Mrs. Cai San outside, or Chen Dutong who was still worrying about trifles a moment ago, at this moment, all the worries of the world are left behind, and only each other is left in their eyes.

Love in the world of mortals, idiotic men resenting women, has never been like this throughout the ages.

It wasn't until long-term breathlessness caused the brain to suffer from a slight dizziness due to lack of oxygen that Cai Wei gently pushed Chen Chu's chest.

The two separated.

Cai Wei raised her head slightly, her eyes full of spring looked at the little lover who was half a head taller than her, and raised her hand to gently caress the latter's cheek, but the thousands of lovesickness turned into a sentence, "Puppy in this body The armor is really powerful."

Chen Chu hugged one of them by the waist, and the two of them fell into the big tiger-skin chair.

After a while of rustling, Cai Wei's slightly annoyed voice sounded again in the hall, "The tattered armor of the grandson of the turtle! Why is it so hard to get off?"

Not the end of time.

Dressed neatly, Chen Chu rolled up the tiger skin that had been spread on the big chair and threw it into the back hall.

Cai Xiaojiu’s destructive power is amazing. I don’t know if the tiger skin can be used after drying.
In the hall, Cai Hua was lazily curled up in the big chair with a cloak on her body, but she took the text written by Chen Chu in her hand and read it.

"Put on your clothes, and if someone comes, you will be in a hurry." Chen Chu returned to the hall and reminded.

Cai Hua's eyes turned white, and she said lazily, "Now you know you're worried? Why didn't you say it when you took off?"

Said so, but still put on the clothes according to the words.

Afterwards, Cai Hua pointed to the rice paper that had been put on the public case and said, "Puppy, what are the difficulties you are encountering right now?"

"Well, it's almost like this." Chen Chu sat next to Cai Wei.

"Where are you going to start?"

Cai Wei asked, knelt on the big chair and bent over to pick up the footwear that had just been thrown on the ground, then naturally put her feet on Chen Chu's thigh, raised her hand and handed it over, "Put it on for me."

Chen Chu took the foot clothes casually, and said: "Of course, we will start with the Zhenhuai army first. If we want to subdue and deter the three armies along the Huaihe River, we must have a strong fighting power that far surpasses theirs."

When I helped Cai Hua put on socks, I found that her feet were icy cold. Her physique is like this, and her limbs are cold in autumn and winter.

Chen Chu paused the action of putting on socks, covered his feet with both hands, and helped the latter warm up, "If you want to suppress the Huai army's combat power, at least recruit the vacancies of sergeants in Caizhou first, which is another trouble. "

"Why don't you recruit from Tongshan? If you go back and tell me, recruiting will not be difficult." Chen Chu's feet were held in warm hands, and Cai Wei couldn't help but frowned when she spoke, and her eyes became more gentle.

"We recruited from Tongshan. I'm afraid the superiors will think that we are raising a private army. Moreover, if the Zhenhuai army is all from Tongshan, it will easily create a gap between the people of Caizhou."

"It makes sense. However, if you recruit Caizhou soldiers, you may not have the same enthusiasm as our Tongshan soldiers when you go to meet the enemy."

"This is natural. Our Tongshan soldiers are now living a good life at home, and they know that they are fighting to 'defend a better life'. If Caizhou soldiers want to have such momentum, they must at least give them a better life first."

"So, what you wrote about 'extending the industrial chain' and 'planting mushrooms' is to make Cai Zhoubing's life better?"

"Well, that's understandable."

"How to extend the industrial chain?"

"For example, after the sauce workshop of our Sihai Commercial Bank is completed, a large number of porcelain sauce jars and corks need to be filled. And there are many porcelain kilns in Caizhou."

Cai Hua didn't wait for Chen Chu to finish, "Oh, I understand. Can mushrooms be grown?"

"Naturally. It's not too difficult. Take shiitake mushrooms as an example. If an industry can be formed, the mushrooms can be dried in the sun after being harvested and sold as dry goods in the north and south. Second, they can also be ground into powder and served with sea sausage. powder to make an excellent condiment called chicken essence."

"."

Cai Hua glanced at Chen Chu, and found that the latter was quite serious in what he said, so she decided that 'chicken essence' was a kind of seasoning, not teasing.

Chen Chu then sighed, "However, there are not many people who can be supported by these fragmented industries. If hundreds of thousands of people in Caizhou are to be like Tongshan, there must be heavy industries with a long upstream and downstream industrial chain. For example, iron ore and coal mining in the upstream, intermediate smelting, and iron manufacturing in the downstream are all large-scale industries that can absorb countless labors.”

Although Cai Hua didn't understand the industry Chen Chu was talking about, she was keenly aware of the problem, "If, as you said, all the laborers go to work, who will plant the fields? Then the price of food in Caizhou must not go up to the sky."

"This is the problem of productivity. If there is a kind of grain that can produce three or four times as much grain as before for the same length of work, a large amount of labor can be released. However, the iron-making industry has attracted too much attention from the imperial court. Furthermore, I also don’t know how to smelt it.”

At the end, Chen Chu was a little frustrated.

These are obviously things that other magistrates should worry about, but you all sigh and sigh because of this, you are really asking for trouble!
Cai Wei thought.

But Humei Guazi showed a gentle smile on her face, and comforted softly: "There is always a way."

She hangs out in Luliuwei all day long, and she has vaguely heard the rumor that one mu of land can harvest six or seven hundred catties of wheat.

She was in a good mood at the moment, just because Chen Chu didn't hide it from her.

"Puppy, did you tell others about the mushrooms, chicken essence, iron making, and grain seeds you mentioned today?"

"No, what's the matter?"

"Hee hee, it's okay, I will try to help you."

"Ha ha."

Chen Chu smiled and didn't take it seriously, it was just a love story between lovers.

Feeling that Cai Wei's feet were getting hot, Chen Chu helped her put on her socks, then bent down to pick up the small suede boots on the ground and put them on.

Cai Wei's smile grew wider, and the thought in her heart that she knew was beneficial to Chen Chu but was unwilling to say it, finally blurted out, "Puppy, those escapees from Bashan and Jiuzhai are the bravest, if you really want to accept them as For your own use, it’s best if you can hook up with Iron Gall.”

"." Chen Chu turned his head to look at Cai Wei, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

I just thought about it in my heart, didn't I do anything?How did you see it?
Cai Wei didn't know what Chen Chu was thinking, and thought that the little lover was shocked by his proposal.

Can't help sighing: "Shen Zaixing has been in the Zhenhuai Army for a day, and the fleeing households in Bashan and Jiuzhai only listen to him. Unless Tie Dan follows you, don't look at her cold all day long. In fact, once this kind of woman recognizes someone, she must Desperate. With me helping you, you still can't take her down with that ability?"

"What do I use to take it down?" Chen Chu meant that if Tiedan couldn't flirt with her, she would beat her up.

Cai Wei said directly, "Use your mouth!"

"." Chen Chu was astonished.

"."

Mrs. Cai San is not an innocent girl. She is no worse than Chen Chu when it comes to 'dirty'. Seeing his expression, she immediately understood, and quickly spat: "Bah~ bah~, I mean use your mouth to be obedient, coax her, coax her Dizzy her! Just like how you coaxed me back then."

"Xiao Qiao, I understand what you're saying. But did I ever coax you back then? How do I remember that when we met, we were fighting each other?"

"Chen, what do you mean? You didn't coax me. Could it be that my old lady posted it upside down?"

"Er, isn't it?"

"Fart! You're the one chasing me!"

"I do not have"

"You have!"
