The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

After going through untold hardships, he finally got in, and Lan Ning confidently put the loudspeaker back into the space under the cover of his cross-body bag.

The exhausted escorts and men transported cartloads of food into the city.

The soldiers standing on both sides stared at the carts of food, as if they couldn't move their eyes away.

It has been a long time since they had a full meal. The two meals a day were thin porridge with no rice grains visible, which was not enough to fill them up. The long hours of training and guarding the city gates made them even more tired.

That’s great! I thought I wouldn’t get any reply to my letter this time, but unexpectedly, food actually arrived.

This amount of food is enough to feed them for a long time.

Lan Ning looked at these soldiers who were defending their country and found that they were even thinner than them, with dark skin and just skin and bones. It seemed like they were having a lot of difficulty holding the spears.

"You have worked hard."

Lan Ning couldn't help but say what he wanted to say to every soldier and warrior.

The soldiers were stunned when they heard her words. They risked their lives to defend the border and thought this was their life mission. They didn't expect someone would say thank you for your hard work.

They immediately stood up straight, their eyes full of determination.

“Our duty.”

They took the food down to the granary, and Lan Ning asked a soldier to take her around.

She wanted to see what the place was like and how the soldiers lived.

The more Lan Ning looked at these buildings, the more chilled he became.

Due to years of war, the enemy would always throw stones into the city, causing many buildings to be dilapidated, with a piece missing here and a corner missing there. Even the buildings that were not hit by the stones were in great disrepair.

This emperor is not a good emperor. He is addicted to wine and sex all day long and completely disregards the safety of the people and soldiers on the border. If you can't be an emperor, don't be one. Since you are an emperor, you must do what you should do well.

Beauties, wine and meat all day long, can't these be achieved as a prince?

No wonder the Hua Dynasty went to its demise later. With such an emperor, no matter how good the country is, it can't withstand his turmoil.

Maybe someone couldn't bear to watch it anymore so he came here.

But what's the point of calling me here? With such an emperor who can't tell right from wrong, unless we replace him with an emperor who can listen to others, then maybe the country will be saved.

Lan Ning's eyes lit up and he quickly called the system in his mind.

"Is there any way to just replace this emperor? Wouldn't that make my task much easier?"

This time the system did not remain silent, and replied with two clear words.

"No."

Lan Ning was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I don't know what your system can do. It can't do anything. So I'll just rely on a little girl like you. Let's see if my future child can complete this task."

The system did not answer again. It did not like to talk nonsense. When the master created it, it did not speak for ten days or half a month. Even if it wanted to speak, it would only say two words at most. So it just inherited the master's personality, and she felt that she was not wrong.

After knowing that his idea would not come true, Lan Ning thought that he should curse the emperor a hundred times in his heart every day. Maybe God would hear his voice too strongly and make his idea come true. Although the emperor was only in his thirties, people in ancient times generally had a short lifespan.

Before I even met Emperor Lan Ning, I felt that I hated him very much.

The climate at the border always gets colder faster than in the south. In the south it is just the right time right now, neither too cold nor too hot, but people at the border have already put on cotton-padded jackets.

The animals were resting in the woods surrounding the city, fearing that going into the city would cause unnecessary trouble.

At night, the centurion brought them all quilts, but the quilts were thin, hard, and had a strong smell.

It can be imagined that this quilt is quite old, perhaps even older than he is.

How can we survive this winter?

It seems that there is one more task, which is to prepare cotton wool for these soldiers.

As time was running out, they did not stay long. They rested here for one night, and early the next morning a large group of people hurried back to their small village.

Except for the few refugees they captured and wanted to take back to work as coolies, they allowed the rest of the refugees to set off for Linchun County on their own.

Apart from the food they had on the road, they had nothing else to eat, and they were wearing all their warm clothes because it was too cold.

So the journey back was very easy, and with the food being slowly consumed, it only took about fifty-four days to get back to Linchun County, which was eight days faster than the journey there.

This is all walking. It would be faster if you took a carriage or a horse.

There was no way to stack so many cars back home, and there was no use taking them back anyway, so I took them all to various car dealers to return them, and also paid for the broken cars.

They no longer needed to send those escorts back, they just had to pay the remaining silver, and the deal between them would be settled.

Knowing that they were going home, everyone was very happy. Lan Ning, who had a fast pace, couldn't catch up with them even though he ran as fast as he could.

Although these people were in a hurry to go home, they did not forget that there was such a small landlord following them. After walking for a distance, he would stand there and wait for them to come forward before setting off again.

This went on over and over again, and Lan Ning became worried about them.

Wave.

"You guys go back first, Brother Mu is with me, there's nothing to worry about."

"But……"

"There's nothing to worry about. Are you going to carry me back? Go back quickly. Go back quickly. I know you all miss home. Come to me tomorrow to get your money."

The last sentence had a great influence. These men, ranging in age from seventeen to fifty, were so happy that they almost jumped up on the spot.

"Little landlord, please be careful on the road. We will go back first."

"go Go."

Mu Zhongting had a smile on his face.

"Sister Lan, you are so kind to them."

Lan Ning sighed helplessly.

"I can't help it. I'm the chosen one. I have such a smart mind. It would be a waste if I don't use it."

"Yes, yes, yes. You are the smartest. I will be at the border for four months, and my plan to push seeds will take a long time."

"Why rush? Take your time. Or you can try to convince the emperor to order the people to grow these high-yield foods. That way, the people won't starve."

Mu Zhongting sighed helplessly.

"It's impossible for him to agree. If it was someone else who said it, he might consider it, but if it was us who said it, he would refuse without even thinking about it."

"Your family is really patient. They have been wronged for so many years and don't even know how to explain themselves."
