Chapter 78: Too few people

... In this way, she really finished Xie Linlang's mansion, and Xie Linlang patiently followed her to explain, except for confidentiality, it would be okay to show her anything else.
When she finally got tired and went to rest, Ru Nian walked out of the dark.
Originally, he was holding Qin Jue's face and Xia Junshu's mother and daughter came, he should take Qin Jue's place to comfort him, but Xie Linlang refused.
The mother and daughter have suffered enough, pretending that it is not what they need, let Qin Jue come back to comfort him, it is estimated that he will be back soon.
After hearing Xie Linlang's words, Confucianism was a little surprised, "My lord knows where the palace is going?"
Xie Linlang nodded, "Even if I didn't know it before, I guessed it after seeing these two. He wants to go to the capital to see if there are any survivors?"
When Confucianism didn't speak, Xie Linlang smiled slightly.
"Sure enough, no matter how you change, Qin Jue is still very gentle at heart."
Confucian scholar couldn't help saying, "My lord, you are also very gentle."
He has been with Xie Linlang for the past few months and knows how busy Xie Linlang is. She stays on the ground from morning to night, but today he just accompanies Yu Ranxiang for a day.
In fact, Yu Ranxiang would keep asking questions, just repeatedly confirming. She wanted to make sure whether Xie Linlang really wanted to be nice to her, and Xie Linlang's patient answers finally gave her complete peace of mind, so she could sleep. Before I dared to go to sleep.
Xie Linlang looked at Yu Ranxiang's closed door, melancholy.
"I just tried my best. This world is still too harsh on women."
Thinking that the Xia family was copied, these married girls would be implicated. If Yu Ranxiang were a man, the Yu family might still find a way to protect her, but she was a woman, so she was ruthlessly abandoned. Drive her out of the house with her biological mother.
The person who hid them would not be a good thing, otherwise the two noble ladies would not become scared.
Not only them, but other women are the same. Their husbands and fathers are of high status, and they will be able to enjoy themselves. Once something happens, they will become goods.
Xie Linlang has seen officials who were secretly auctioned off, the daughters who were in the dust, and the concubine who was favored by the master one second before and obliterated by the master one second later.
The woman's life was so despised! So after the queen rescued her, she resolutely chose to "become" a man.
Because the memory of the original owner told her that it was too difficult and too difficult to be a woman.
At that time, the queen also persuaded her that she could make Xie Linlang the daughter of her cousin's family.
Moreover, she pretends to be a man, once her identity is revealed, such a shocking thing, I am afraid she will be more difficult in the future.
But Xie Linlang insisted that she was not a real child and knew how to protect herself. After Xiaoxi learned medicine, she has been drinking medicine to delay her menstrual period.
As long as there is no development, who will be okay to look under her? In addition, she has been walking the road of outstanding talents and stunning, so even the emperor did not find her true gender.
On the other side, Mr. Liu is buying food on a large scale through the channels of his former students.
Although I don't know why Xie Linlang suddenly wanted to collect grain, the young man couldn't handle it with common sense, and she would do it. She definitely meant it.
More than ten days later, on the way back to the county seat, Mr. Liu stopped when he was passing by the city of Zhuanjiang. He planned to take a day off and set off for the next day. However, he heard someone discussing during the meal.
"Have you heard? The rebels are going south, now they are in Changqi!"
"What? The people in Changqi are going to be unlucky. Changqi is the relatively wealthy city in the south, and it will definitely be robbed by the rebels!"
"Grab it all? No, the rebels arrived in Changqi, but they didn't attack the city. Instead, they bypassed it and continued southward."
"That's it... It's probably because Changqi has a good geographical location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I gave up."
They were talking like this, Mr. Liu didn't care about it. After all, Xiang Cheng was still a backward border town in the eyes of the world. He didn't think that the rebels went south to Xiangcheng.
But when he changed his consciousness, he suddenly felt a little shocked. If the rebels bypassed Changqi, they would have bypassed the Tianxian Qilian Mountains! And it didn't stop all the way, and didn't attack any city, it looked like it was extremely purposeful!
Their real purpose, shouldn't they really be Xiangcheng?
Thinking about this, Mr. Liu couldn't sit still anymore. He first sent the pigeon to pass the letter back, and then sent someone to pass the letter first. He didn't dare to rest, and quickly set off with a large quantity of goods.
And Xie Linlang has already received the first payment for the mirror sale!
This time she didn’t sell many goods, and she took the fine-quality route. The mirrors were all inlaid with gems, and then she didn’t go far. She only sold them to the more prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, and made a lot of money easily. Made a fortune.
With such a narrow sales channel, she makes so much money. If she can really open up waterways in the future and trade with neighboring small countries such as Zeguo, won't she make a lot of money?
Xie Linlang earns a lot of money and spends it happily. In Xiangcheng, people are important for road construction, canal digging, city construction, and workshops.
Because the money she gave is enough, all those who are strong and energetic will basically hire her staff, but because this work is also tired, generally only young and strong guys can do it, so the family’s fields will not be deserted. There are also parents and elders who help to manage it.
In addition to Xie Linlang's need for young talents, he also needs helpers. Although Tao County magistrate has helped her collect a wave of capable people, it is still not enough, so Xie Linlang began to consciously recruit some people who are not very strong but have flexible brains. Come and help, you will be better at reading, and you can teach if you are not smart enough.
All in all, under her efforts, this small town of less than 70,000 people has become a very large, always-running machine!
Its changes are accumulated day by day, so people in the city don't feel it, and don't have time to feel it, but it won't be long before it will amaze outsiders!
Originally this was a good virtuous circle, but at this time, Xie Linlang received a secret letter from Mr. Liu.
"Is the rebel Dong Gu?"
Since Confucian scholars told her that Dong Gu went south, she has sent people to pay attention to this matter. Although she is not sure that the other party is coming at them, she is still careful.
So after careful consideration, Xie Linlang temporarily suspended the construction of the river and pavement and let all the labor to repair the city wall, striving to complete the pouring project of the city wall within ten days.
It's just that every time she can't help feeling that there are still too few people, if Xiangcheng has more than 70,000 people, but 170,000 people...
