Chen Lin was making arrangements a few days ago that the town was not big and no one came here. The exile was not here, but in a relatively remote and deserted village outside the town, so he couldn't find a place to rent a house.

After Chen Lin found out, she asked Su Chen to help find the county map, then found a piece of vacant land in the county, and bought it to make a house. Generally, the county magistrate wanted to achieve results, and 3 to 6 years was the minimum standard. For more than ten years, they were all magistrates, so it was better to build a house.

Su Chen was handing over work with Liu Man in the county town, but from what he occasionally said when he came back, we can tell that things were not going well. Although Liu Man seemed to have handed over all power on the surface, he was at least a year earlier, and the headmaster listened to him more.

However, Su Chen did not get involved with him in this regard. In fact, small towns like this are actually dealing with trivial matters and family matters. There are not many major cases. The more common ones may be related to the bandits they encountered before.

Although it is bitter and cold here, there are not a caravan coming. After all, there are several specialties here, they also need them, such as ginseng and red zhi. After knowing this, Chen Lin is sure that this place can almost correspond to the Northeast.

Those bandits have always been a problem. Even they dare to rob them when they come here. You must know that they have hung up official banners. Official banners are something that officials in this world will bring when they go on vacation. The purpose is to warn the bandits that are officials of the court and act cautiously. Generally speaking, bandits will not attack the officials, but here they have been attacked one after another, which shows the courage of the bandits here.

Su Chen's goal is to suppress bandits and then open up the trade route. The political achievements of officials are related to population and tax revenue, and the existence of those bandits will obviously be the biggest obstacle.

Therefore, his plan was to gather the guards of the county town. It was very remote and there were no foreign enemies. Although the city wall was built, there was no garrison. There were only one guards of one hundred people. With the one hundred people he brought, it would be a team of two hundred people.

Fortunately, his goal was finally achieved. He was busy and Chen Lin was not idle. The house had just begun to be built. She asked the housekeeper to keep an eye on it. What she was more concerned about was whether it could become the second granary just like the Northeast.

Among the people she brought this time, there was a family specially selected from the farm. The surname was Zhu. The head of the family, Mr. Zhu, was good at farming. Chen Lin also accidentally discovered that this person was very talented in this area. If he were in modern times, he might be an agricultural master, so he gave him some tips.

Although her tips were sporadic information that she heard about online or looked up, they benefited a lot from the other party and improved some methods and succeeded, so this time she also brought him with her.

After the house was arranged, she took 20 guards and Mr. Zhu to wander around here to see the soil here.

A few days later, Chen Lin asked Mr. Zhu: "Mr. Zhu, how do you think this place suddenly?"

"It's very good, it's the best black soil. This kind of sudden fertility is very suitable for planting. However, I asked the villagers here that it starts to snow in October, and there is still intermittent light snow in March, so the weather may not be suitable." Mr. Zhu said, stating the advantages and disadvantages.

"There are seven months in the middle, so it's okay to grow a season of food." Chen Lin nodded. She didn't know what the weather was like in the Northeast, but judging from the usual snowfall news, it should be similar to that here, so she still has some confidence.

"Yes." Mr. Zhu nodded, "But you have to try the specific ones."

"Okay, I will arrange for people to open up the land, and you will be responsible for the subsequent planting." Chen Lin bowed slightly.

"It is my honor for my wife to trust me." Mr. Zhu did not dare to accept this gift from her and hurriedly avoided it.

"After I talked to the master, I can prepare to hire people to open up the land. You can choose the location." Chen Lin knew that the ancients were afraid of their status and rank, so she didn't say much, but arranged it.

"Okay." Mr. Zhu agreed.

When Su Chen came back from the yamen in the evening, Chen Lin mentioned this matter, "I don't plan to hang all the wastelands that have been opened in my name. I only plan to get 30% of them, and the rest will be hanged in the yamen."

"No need." Su Chen shook his head, "I know what you think about, but officials will only be banned from doing business, but they will not be banned from buying land. Moreover, the wife is allowed to do business with her dowry."

He had long noticed that Chen Lin had many taboos about the officialdom. Before they entered Beijing, they were planning to sell the store, leaving only the dividends of the Jinxiufang Clothing Store. She often read some legal-related books and formulated many regulations to restrict the servants and the store clerks.

So, when Chen Lin mentioned that she wanted to hang the fields in the name of the yamen, she knew why she thought so, and said directly.

"Okay, I don't want to increase your political achievements." Chen Lin was not angry when rejected and nodded.

"As long as you open up land, have high land production, and pay taxes according to regulations, that is my political achievement." Su Chen said.

"Oh, okay, how are your matters arranged?" Chen Lin nodded and asked about Su Chen.

"The arrangement has been almost done, and I am inquiring about the situation of the bandits. However, I have not told the public yet, just let our guards investigate secretly." Su Chen did not hide his wife.

"You have to be careful, maybe they have traitors." Chen Lin nodded and reminded her. Su Chen smiled. Of course, he thought of this too.

"The guards you trained are very good. Can you train more?" The guards were bought by Chen Lin, but except for a few guards, they were trained at the farm at other times. He didn't know the details of the training, but this time he saw a different point.

"Yes, just ask the guard to arrange the previous training." Chen Lin didn't know any training methods. It was nothing more than modern team training, and then physical training, weight-bearing running, obstacle running, and even guerrilla confrontation.

Then, it provides a large amount of food supplementary training to consume. Isn’t it said that poor, civil and wealthy, but it is indeed expensive. Chen Lin invested a lot of money in them, and fortunately, Jinxiu Pavilion has paid a lot of dividends.

"Okay." After the talk of the main business, the couple finally got off. Of course, a harmonious movement must be necessary. After that, the couple started each of them. Su Chen was busy training the guards who guarded the city, and Chen Lin arranged for the reopening of the land, and arranged other things.
