Chapter 23 Seed Germination

Thanks to friends who support me with "heartache" and "gaoxuren77"...

Today's two updates, can your support be more impressive?

———————————————

The process of the matter was actually very simple. Seeing that Peng Guangyi was trying to capture Wujiao City, Zheng Chang's troops in the city could not defend without weapons, and the number of people left was smaller than that of Hu's army, so they could not take the risk of defending to the death, so they had to think of this method.

Qian Xiaoxing asked Zheng Chang's 12,000 soldiers to ambush around Wujiao City. Although he had no weapons, he could not tell whether it was true or false from a distance. In order to confuse the Hu army, the soldiers in the middle deliberately dragged the branches across the ground to lift up dust, making the Hu soldiers unable to confirm the number of people.

Qian Xiaoxing estimated that Peng Guangyi would be cautious after losing several times. As expected, Peng Guangyi was indeed afraid and dared not enter the city.

There were no soldiers stationed in Wujiao City, but only a banner was used to defend the enemy. However, in Peng Guangyi's eyes, this banner was worth more than tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Of course, Qian Xiaoxing also made the worst plan, that is, if Peng Guangyi didn't take this trick and wanted to risk entering the city, at least Zheng Chang's troops were still outside the city and would not be annihilated by the Hu soldiers. Moreover, Peng Guangyi at least knew that there were enemy troops outside Wujiao City, so he did not dare to do anything after entering the city, so he could only stay in the city peacefully.

Peng Guangyi is now heading to Heimo City. Geographically, if he attacks Cangkong Pass from Heimo City, he must pass through Wujiao City. Therefore, he has saved the outpost of Cangkong Pass, the pressure on Cangkong Pass has been reduced a lot so that the Hu army will be suddenly attacked and will not be broken.

When Peng Guangyi was moving to Heimo City, Qian Xiaoxing had already arrived at Wujiao City and met with Lu Shengzhong and Zheng Chang smoothly. Everyone was very happy.

Lu Shengzhong learned that Qian Xiaoxing had wiped out the King of Wu and severely damaged the Hu army's infantry, and even said no, he was even more happy, slaughtering cattle and sheep in Wujiao City to reward the three armies.

After returning from the first round of fight, Hu army had only 25,000 infantry left, and they hid in the remote Heimo City. They basically had no power to fight back, which made Qian Xiaoxing very relaxed. While drinking happily with Lu Shengzhong, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram from Xinghuo City."

Qian Xiaoxing was very curious about the content of the telegram and said, "I miss it!"

"Brother Xing, when you learned that you have returned in triumph, the people of Si State are very excited. I entrusted me to thank you and wish Si Jun a better achievement. In addition, the seeds you sowed on Shan'er and me have already sprouted. If you have time, I hope you will come back and see it now." Xiaobing finished reading the telegram in one breath.

"Sprouting? Seventh brother, you still like farming." Lu Shengzhong asked curiously.

Qian Xiaoxing was excited and replied, "Yes, I have several pieces of land waiting for me to plant. Brother Zhong, when will you go to plant?"

Lu Shengzhong still didn't understand and replied: "We are busy with military affairs, so we have time to farm."

"Brother Zhong, I'm going to be a father again." Qian Xiaoxing said bluntly.

"Really, how did you know? It didn't seem to be said in the telegram just now." Lu Shengzhong said in confusion.

Qian Xiaoxing shook his head helplessly at Lu Shengzhong's rigid mind and asked: "When will the road from Wujiao City to Cangqiong Pass be opened?"

"It's only been one or two days." Lu Shengzhong replied.

"Okay, the road is connected. I'll go back to Xinghuo City first. I haven't been back for a long time, so I miss them because I miss them." Qian Xiaoxing remembered several of his beautiful wives at home and immediately returned home.

Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "Okay, in the battle of Fuling, the troops suffered a lot of losses. We should take a break and reorganize them. I am going to break up Zheng Chang's troops and allocate them to various regiment headquarters. What do you think?"

"Well, I think it's OK, but Peng Guangyi's troops in Heimo City should be careful to prevent them from raiding." Qian Xiaoxing reminded.

Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "I understand this. Seventh brother, please go back with confidence. If you have any questions, I will send you a telegram."

Qian Xiaoxing raised his glass and said, "Okay, our brothers have a drink. When I come back, I will destroy Peng Guangyi's troops. By the way, Sima Chuchu's troops, so that all the seven cities south of Lanjiang can be returned to our country."

"Okay!" The two of them clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

The next day, the entire Si army rested in Wujiao City. When Qian Xiaoxing waited until the road was opened, he took a four-wheeled carriage with Shi Yeying to return to Cangqiong Pass, and then transferred to the wooden rail carriage to return to Xinghuo City.

When we arrived at Xinghuo City, it happened to be August 14th. It was just one month after Siguo's National Day Ceremony. In just one month, we captured most of the areas south of the Lanjiang River. The oppression of Peng Guangyi and Sima Chuchu's troops could only hide from a distance. This was indeed a good record.

When they arrived at Xinghuo City, the people lined up on both sides of the street to welcome each other, and the scene was hilarious and festive. The news that the Si army won a great victory on its first expedition has long been circulating among the people. The people are proud of having such a unit that can win every battle, and are also lucky for the Qian Xiaoxing, the Yumeng General.

Since Qian Xiaoxing came to Si State, he has grown rapidly from the small Liufeng City, which was originally bullied, and has regained the land that originally belonged to Si State, but now he has invaded the land of Hu State. What’s more important is that the war did not bring pressure to the people in life. Instead, the lives of the people have greatly improved compared to before, and everyone has spare money and surplus food at home.

Qian Xiaoxing rode a tall horse and walked on the wide street, looking at the cheering people, waved to the people around him from time to time, and saw a beautiful woman, and even blew a few kisses, which made the women blush and shy.

The people lined up until the gate of the palace, and several of Qian Xiaoxing's wives had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Qian Xiaoxing come back, the people were so excited, and they all felt proud of Qian Xiaoxing.

Si Yingying grabbed the reins of the horse and set off the horse with her hands. Then she smiled and said, "The people's support for you is higher than that of King Si. What should you do if you ask your son in the future?"

Qian Xiaoxing looked at Si Yingying, and after a long time no see, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes were full of love, his face was as beautiful as a flower, which was comparable to the four ancient beauties, especially his chest was even more plump. Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "I am him, of course I am better than him. This little bastard dares to compete with me."

Ling Shan said, "You should let your son be your father."

Qian Xiaoxing looked at Ling Shan's belly, bulged slightly, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I've been talking to them before I even gave birth."

Several wives hugged them up, Qian Xiaoxing hugged them left and right and walked into the palace with everyone, and said as he walked: "The six wives only scored three of them. It seems that the hit rate is not high, and it seems that they can only increase the number of times to increase the hit rate."

When the wives heard this, they lowered their heads and smiled slightly. Perhaps they were looking forward to a decisive battle with Qian Xiaoxing until dawn.

Everyone sat down in the house where everyone came. Qian Xiaoxing took Xiao Qianying and hugged him in his arms, teased him. Seeing the child's innocent smile, Qian Xiaoxing felt extremely refreshed. However, after teasing for a few times, Xiao Qianying suddenly grinned and cried. Qian Xiaoxing had no effect for a while, so he had to hand him over to Yi Hongyue.

As soon as he reached Yi Hongyue's hand, the crying stopped immediately. Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but curse: "I'm so rare to hold you, but I still dislike me. Once I get to a woman's hand, I won't cry. This kid must be lustful when he grows up."

Yi Hongyue smiled and said, "Yes, the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, of course the son you gave birth to is also lustful."

"Ahem," Qian Xiaoxing concealed it for a moment, pulled Si Yingying and Ling Shan and said, "I heard that you are pregnant. I am so happy. Others also work harder, otherwise they will be too late to give birth, and they will be bullied by big people."

Lan Xiaocui pouted and said, "No matter how hard we work, we can't give birth."

"That's right. It seems that Xiao Cui really wants to be a mother. I'll put it in the evening." Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.

Mu Peiling listened to the sermon, but wanted to fight but was afraid of hurting the harmony. He looked at Qian Xiaoxing and gestured with his eyes, wanting him not to ignore him, but Qian Xiaoxing didn't see it at all, and stomped Mu Pei's feet with spiritual energy.

Everyone had a fun for a while and finally turned to the main business. Si Yingying said: "The population of Si State has increased significantly recently. People from other countries all want to register with Si State. Brother Xing, what do you think?"

Qian Xiaoxing felt something was wrong and asked: "Their own country is not going to be happy, why do they come to our country?"

"This is still a question. Our Si State is easy to make money. People are full and have enough food and drink. They are all rich, so of course other people are jealous." Si Yingying replied.

Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Our company is originally a small number of people. If we come to our company to be a commoner, of course we welcome it. In my plan, the two cities on the left and right of Xinghuo City, Longzhan City and Juma City, will also develop into first-class cities, and there will be very few people at that time."

Everyone was looking forward to a developed country as Qian Xiaoxing had begun to take shape and imagined its future development. Everyone began to look forward to it.

Then Qian Xiaoxing asked everyone to talk about their respective tasks. Si Yingying was responsible for state government affairs. The transaction tax, rent and other income received from Xinghuo City has reached 5,000 taels per day, and the treasury has already deposited 500,000 taels of silver.

The money house that Ling Shan was responsible for was paid for, and the supermarket profit reached 1,000 taels in one day, and the money house deposits had reached 8.3 million taels.

Lan Xiaocui is responsible for the profits of the rooms, casinos, baths, catering, etc. of the Spark Building, and she also has a net income of 800 taels a day. She also complained to Qian Xiaoxing that there were too few rooms, otherwise she would have made more money.

Mu Peiling is responsible for tourism projects. As the Condor Temple becomes more and more famous, there are endless tourists coming to worship and donate, and the average day is as many as 500 taels.

There are also several Qian's factories, paper mills, oil refineries, mushroom farming plants, pearl farming plants, oil refineries, arsenals, and cement plants, all operating at the highest level, with a daily income of more than 1,000 taels of silver.

After listening to the report, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but think, and sometimes shook his head. Si Yingying asked in confusion when she saw it: "You are making so much money, but you still shake your head. Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh, it's trouble!" Qian Xiaoxing sighed, "How can I spend so much money?"

Si Yingying couldn't help but curse: "If you can't spend it, we will give you flowers."

After hearing this, Lan Xiaocui said honestly: "Even if we give flowers, we can't spend them."

"Yeah, then that's it." Qian Xiaoxing decided: "Money is taken from the people and used for the people. First, it will improve the welfare of the people. Any elderly or widowed person or orphans will be supported by the state."

Everyone applauded after hearing this, and Qian Xiaoxing continued: "There are also digging artificial canals. On the one hand, it can be transported by ship, and on the other hand, it can be diverted to irrigate fertile fields. These facilities are all paid by the state, and the dams are strengthened and flooded. There are so many things to do."

After hearing this, Si Yingying added: "Yes, there are also cement roads in the country that pour cement roads, and villages pour large drying yards. There are really many things to do for the people."

"Well, you're right, then use a lot of money. Only by using it can you earn it. As well as the equipment of the army, you can change the best ones for me if you have money." Qian Xiaoxing replied.

After hearing this, Yi Hongyue said worriedly: "After hearing this, the money is probably not enough."

Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "It's okay, if we don't have enough, we will go to Hu Country to rob it. I realized that plundering is really profitable. This time I went out of Cangqiong Pass and went out for a turn. I didn't rob the people. I had hundreds of thousands of taels of money, not including food and grass."
