Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Leng Huaiyi couldn't help laughing when he heard what Carpenter Chen said, "It should be a problem with the bowstring."

Leng Huaiyi put away his smile, coughed lightly, took the bowstring from the crossbow cart, and looked at Carpenter Chen, "Is this the bowstring for the bow and arrow?"

Carpenter Chen nodded, "Yes."

"Give it here, let me try."

Leng Huaiyi took the bow and arrow from Old Chen's hand, pulled the trigger and shot the arrow in one smooth motion. He looked at the arrow that hit the bull's eye on the opposite side and turned to look at Carpenter Chen.

"It should be a problem with the bowstring. It seems that we need to find a bowstring with better elasticity than this one."

Carpenter Chen frowned when he heard this. "But this is the best bowstring we can make at the moment."

When Leng Huaiyi heard this, he looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Your Highness, please come here."

After hearing Leng Huaiyi's words, Xiao Wu nodded and went to invite Xiao Lengyue.

When Xiao Lengyue arrived, he learned about the problems Leng Huaiyi and the others had encountered, and looked at Carpenter Chen, "I'll try the bow and arrow."

When Carpenter Chen heard this, he quickly handed the bow and arrow to Xiao Lengyue.

Xiao Lengyue had played with bows and arrows in his previous life, but it was much more advanced than this.

She looked at the most primitive bow and arrow in her hand, observed the bowstring, pulled the bowstring, looked at the target in the distance, and released it casually, hitting the bull's eye of Leng Huaiyi.

When everyone saw this scene, they were all shocked.

They didn't expect that Xiao Lengyue's archery skills were so powerful.

This scene scared Song Ye who had just arrived. He looked at the arrow that had fallen to the ground and was broken into two in shock, his eyes full of shock.

Xiao Lengyue felt the bow and arrow in his hand, shot another arrow, and then looked at Leng Huaiyi, "Uncle, this bowstring can't meet the spring requirements of the crossbow cart. We have to find a new one."

Leng Huaiyi thought for a while after hearing this, "This bowstring is already the best."

Xiao Lengyue sighed softly when she heard this, "Let Second Brother think of a solution. He is outside, and it is much more convenient for him to find materials or people than for us."

Leng Huaiyi nodded, "Okay, then I'll go write him a letter now."

Xiao Lengyue nodded and looked at Carpenter Chen, "You do the other things first. We can install the bowstring later."

Carpenter Chen nodded and led his men to continue with the work at hand.

Xiao Lengyue turned her head and saw Song Ye standing at the door waiting for her.

"What's wrong, but what happened?"

Song Ye nodded, bowed and said, "Everyone is waiting for you at the house."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then hurried back.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw that his grandfather and old tutor Murong were all there.

Not only them, but also Mr. Chen, Zhao Yan, Sun Eryong, Zhao Yong and others all came.

Seeing so many of them, Xiao Lengyue asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Leng Shaobin handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Lengyue, "Take a look first."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he took the letter suspiciously. After reading it carefully, he said in a deep voice, "With so many refugees, he didn't take any measures?"

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent. Xiao Lengyue looked at everyone's reactions and understood what Xiao Rende did.

Xiao Lengyue opened the map in his hand and found the map mentioned in the letter. After looking at it carefully, he frowned and said, "Isn't there a lake in that area?

Why did a large-scale drought occur, causing people to be unable to make a living and flee from famine? "

When Song Ye heard what Xiao Lengyue said, he said, "I'll have someone go find out right away."

After Xiao Lengyue saw Song Ye leave, she looked at Leng Huaiyi and said, "Since he won't let the officials let the refugees into the city, then we can spread the news and let the people come to the no-man's land."

Hearing this, Leng Huaiyi frowned and said, "But if so many people come here, what about the accommodation?"

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Let's squeeze in first, and when the people come, we will hire someone to build a house, and when it's finished, we'll rent it to them.

Or we can sell it to them directly after we build it. If they want to build it themselves, that’s also fine. We just need to charge them a token amount for the land.”

Leng Huaiyi thought for a while after hearing this, then nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go over right away."

After everyone left, Old Master Murong and Leng Shaobin looked at Xiao Lengyue, "If all the people go to the no-man's land, will they attract attention?"

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she snorted coldly, "He will only be happy to see that the people did not stay near the city, and he will not care about anything else."

Xiao Lengyue's guess was absolutely correct. At this moment, Xiao Rende was in the main hall, listening to the reports from the officials below.

The minister finally finished speaking and was about to give his opinion when he heard the man on the dragon throne say, "Just find a way to drive the refugees away. As for where they are going, that is none of your business."

As soon as Xiao Rende said this, the ministers below looked at him instantly, with disbelief in their eyes.

Xiao Rende didn't care what they thought, and after yawning, he said, "It's almost the annual concubine selection day.

Chen Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you."

When Chen Bing heard this, he bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The ministers were getting anxious when they saw Xiao Rende was about to leave the court. Then an old man stood up and looked at Xiao Rende, "Your Majesty, there is a big lake in Jizhou. Normally, there will be no drought.

But now that there are so many refugees, do we need to send someone to investigate?"

Xiao Rende glanced at the minister who was speaking and said, "Since Duke Li cares so much about the people, I'll leave this matter to you."

As soon as Xiao Rende said this, a young man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Li will soon be sixty years old. If you leave this matter to him, the people who don't know the truth will definitely misunderstand Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Xiao Rende pondered for a while and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."

After saying this, he looked at Duke Li and said, "Since Duke Li has already reached the age of sixty, I will allow you to take up an honorable position.

Lord Li, if I remember correctly, your hometown is in the desolate land, right?

When the old minister heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing, bowed and said, "Yes."

After hearing this, Xiao Rende laughed and said, "Then you should go back to your hometown."

Upon hearing the news, Duke Li knelt down and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Lord."

Xiao Rende didn't expect him to be so sensible. His mood improved, and without saying anything else, he ordered the court to end.

After everyone had left, Duke Li stood up tremblingly, looked at the dragon throne above him, sighed lightly, and walked away hunched over.

He was appreciated by the late emperor and was able to sit in this position. He had promised the late emperor that he would support the princess, but he did not expect that this person would sit in the position in the end.
