Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 50 was very rewarding.
"280,000 points, not bad. After the two villages are destroyed, I should be able to get some more."

Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Then, they slowly walked out of the secret room.

As soon as I came out, I saw two maids carefully cleaning my armor.

Li Xirou sat at the table, looking at the food that had just been served, waiting for Lu Ming.

"Squeak!"

As the door was pushed open.

Li Xirou's eyes lit up. "My husband is back. Let's eat!"

"Okay, let's eat," Lu Ming said with a smile.

Then he sat down at the table.

After a night, I was indeed hungry.

In front of his wife, he naturally didn't need to worry about his image and immediately began to wolf down his food.

After eating.

They walked towards the front yard.

At this time, his soldiers had also eaten and drunk their fill, and some had already gone to sleep in their barracks.

After all, everyone was exhausted after fighting all night yesterday.

As for Zheng Yong and the others, they can only rest after they return.

After the chieftains of the two camps were killed, there would certainly not be many people left. If others got there first and took the supplies, they would be in danger.

Wouldn't all that work have been for nothing?

That's why Lu Ming was in a hurry to send people to clear out the village.

"Sir, the new magistrate of Fenglei County has arrived. He says he wants to pay his respects to you. Should we give him a hard time?"

Zhang Meng ran over at some point and whispered to Lu Ming.

Just now, when he went out, he saw a fair-skinned man who claimed to be the newly arrived county magistrate and said he wanted to pay his respects to Lu Ming.

Without hesitation, he ran back in a flash.

In Zhang Meng's view, the arrival of this new county magistrate was clearly a power grab.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? A new local official has arrived. Of course, we should meet him. There's no need for a show of force. Go and let him in. I'll wait in the lobby."

As Lu Ming spoke, he lifted his leg and headed towards the hall.

I had just sat down when a middle-aged man walked in.

"Your humble servant Bai Yan greets Your Excellency!" The visitor was none other than the newly appointed county magistrate.

The middle-aged man gave a very standard bow.

“You’re too kind, Magistrate. We’re just equals, there’s no need for such formality,” Lu Ming said.

Bai Yan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat down to the side.

"I wonder what brings Magistrate Bai here today?" Lu Ming asked curiously.

"Besides paying my respects to the general, I do have some other matters to attend to. I predict that next year will be a year of unprecedented drought. If we do not make preparations early this year, the people of Fenglei County will suffer a complete crop failure."

Bai Yan said solemnly.

Lu Ming was taken aback. If that were really the case, then something truly terrible was about to happen.

For the Great Yu Dynasty today, this is not just a matter of not having enough to eat; it is very likely that even the imperial court will be overthrown.

How did Magistrate Bai find out?

"When I was young, I was fortunate enough to learn some stargazing techniques," Bai Yan said without hiding anything.

"How sure are you?"

"Perfect!" Bai Yan said confidently.

Lu Ming nodded.

"I will still be in charge of the tax revenue of Fenglei County. If Magistrate Bai needs money, he can tell me. If he needs manpower, he can conscript people from the county town."

"Thank you, sir!"

Bai Yan immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

Lu Ming waved his hand. "I am the garrison commander of Fenglei County. It is my responsibility to serve Fenglei County. Magistrate Bai, please go ahead and do your best. I will fully cooperate with you as long as it is within my power."

If the world falls into chaos, Fenglei County is the foundation upon which he started, so of course nothing can happen here.

Not only must we avoid any mishaps, but we must also strive to do better than before; only in this way can we protect ourselves.

"Then I shall take my leave. Today I will first learn about the situation in the county town."

"Mm." Lu Ming nodded. Bai Yan strode out of the hall.

When he stepped out of the mansion, he left with his attendants and guards.

Walking down the street, I observed my surroundings.

Bai Yan nodded inwardly. Judging from the state of the people, this captain was not one to prey on them.

"Sir, what's the Yunhui Colonel like? Is he easy to talk to?"

"He is a very good young man, but his bravery is a bit too violent. It would be better if he were more capable in civil administration."

"Who knows, he might actually become someone important someday," Bai Yan said with a smile.

"Sir, there is no such thing as a perfect person. Besides, our Great Yu Dynasty reveres martial arts."

The attendant spoke up.

He had followed Bai Yan for over ten years, and now he dared to say anything in front of him.

Bai Yan nodded. "Yes, there is no such thing as a perfect person. As for me, your talent in martial arts is quite poor."

Bai Yan chuckled, not caring at all.

At this moment, Lu Ming returned to the training room once again.

He began to continue his cultivation.

The next few days were relatively peaceful.

Two days later, Lu Ming went out to listen to the commotion outside the mansion.

A large number of horses and mules appeared at the gate.

There were also individual silver chests.

It turned out that Wang Han and Zheng Yong had returned.

He walked over excitedly as soon as he saw Lu Ming.

"grown ups!"

Lu Ming nodded. "Not bad, you're quite quick. I thought you'd be back in two more days, but I didn't expect you to be back so soon."

He patted the two of them on the shoulder with a smile.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"How was the harvest?"

"My lord, the two of us have obtained a total of 250,000 taels of silver, 1,000 shi of grain, and a large quantity of furs."

Wang Han quickly replied.

At the same time, he turned around and took out a box.

Inside, there was a clean white fox pelt.

"My lord, this white fox is of good quality."

"Yes, that's thoughtful." Lu Ming nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Then, his gaze fell on Wang Han and Zheng Yong. "You two should go back and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

The two men and their companions endured harsh conditions and slept outdoors.

You must be very tired to come back now.

The most important thing is to let them rest.

Then, he took the box and went out the door, intending to give his wife a surprise.

After making the fox fur into a shawl, it was sent over.

"Do you think this new magistrate will make us pay taxes again? I've heard that magistrates in other places are quite fierce."

"No, our county magistrate is a big shot. He's said to be very talented. His Majesty and some princes have invited him to serve here in Fenglei Town. I just don't know why he's coming to take up a post here. If he's willing..."

"Going to the capital won't be a problem."

Walking down the street, I listened to the conversations of the people in the teahouse.

Lu Ming's eyes flashed.

I never expected that such a powerful figure would come to my Fenglei Town.

That's actually a good thing.

This shows that he was truly confident in managing the drought in Fenglei County.

That way, I can save myself a lot of trouble.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he secretly opened the data panel to see how many points Zheng Yong and the others had brought him on this trip.
