Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

This time he was arranged by Shen Liu to pick up Xiao Lan to the Shen Mansion. He Mingyu wanted to go along, but was rejected by Shen Liu, who told him not to go and scare the girl. He was asked to stay at the Shen's house until someone came to pick him up, and then he would be able to see her.

Shen Ada smiled bitterly and thought to himself, you think picking up the girl is an easy job, but that's because you haven't seen how decisive she is. If you had really seen the girl's lethality, you wouldn't be so naive as to think she was a piece of cotton.

"I want to raise a large number of horses," Xiao Lan heard Shen Liu and He Ming discussing the feasibility of raising war horses when she arrived at the Shen Mansion.

"The Hu people's cavalry is indeed powerful. If we could have kept up with their cavalry in our previous battle, we wouldn't have had such a hard time winning. Our Liaodong Prefecture is located at the border between the two countries. If we want to prevent the Hu soldiers from coming south to raid the grasslands again, we must train our cavalry."

"But this will cause some damage to farmland and people's livelihood." Shen Liu said hesitantly.

"General Shen, I don't want to occupy the people's arable land to raise horses, but I want you to allocate a piece of land to me for raising horses, even if it is wasteland." He Mingyu said.

"The cost of building a horse farm is not low." Shen Liudao.

"It is really difficult for us to buy horses. The imperial court has a horse farm, but we have to go to the farm to beg for horses, and we may not be able to buy them. If we can raise horses ourselves, we can build a cavalry in less than five years." He Mingyu said.

Shen Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "If we had cavalry, we could attack back and forth, or even bypass the city and attack the Hu soldiers directly. This way, it wouldn't be so difficult to fight the Hu people."

At this point, Shen Liu's hand on his thigh could not help but bend, tapping his thigh with his fingers, and after a while he spoke, "I can give you the land. There are more than 300 acres of grassland at the foot of Tiger Mountain, but there are dangers there. There is no barrier for the Hu people to enter and exit there. Whether you can keep the horses depends on you. But even if these difficulties are overcome, do you have the money to raise horses?"

He Mingyu sighed and said, "I am here to discuss something with the general. I heard that Ah Da went to ask the little god of wealth. We don't have any solution, but we can ask someone to think of a solution."

Hearing this, Xiao Lan's mouth twitched. Ah Da coughed at the door and leaned over to report to Shen Liu, "General, Miss Xiao Lan is here."

When He Ming heard that the God of Wealth was coming, he quickly put away his previous decadent look and looked at what the legendary God of Wealth looked like. Seeing that Xiao Lan was just a simple-dressed farm girl, she was far from the image he had imagined. He said that he was deceived by Ah Da. The girl looked so smart and lovely, but he actually described her as a demon, which was simply bringing bad luck to her.

After Xiao Lan greeted Shen Liu, Shen Liu asked her to sit down.

Xiao Lan did not exchange many pleasantries with him, knowing that they both had something to ask of each other during their visit to the Shen residence. In business, it is most taboo to be inferior to others. Although there is a huge difference in status between the two, Xiao Lan is not inferior to him in terms of ambition.

He Ming saw Xiao Lan sitting calmly below Shen Liu, and was not affected by the murderous aura on Shen Liu. Then he recalled what Ah Da had told him, that although Xiao Lan was young, she had mastered the art of archery and had shot and killed several Hu soldiers, saving the general from danger.

He finally believed what Ah Da said. Someone who could be so calm in front of the general must be extraordinary. You have to know that Shen Liu's murderous aura was cultivated on the battlefield. Most people would tremble when approaching him. But the little girl had a calm face. This person was extraordinary.

"General, I am deeply grateful to you for leading the troops to suppress the bandits and saving my grandparents and aunt from being held hostage by the bandits." Xiao Lan saw that everyone had been silent since she entered the room, so she took the lead in breaking the deadlock. "It is said that great favors are not to be thanked, so I will not be polite anymore. I also ask the general to inform the prefect so that my grandparents and aunt can come out."

After not seeing the little girl for many days, Shen Liu felt that she was still as sharp-tongued as before. He was silent for a while and did not answer immediately. However, He Mingyu, who was standing next to him, heard something and laughed and teased, "Little girl, your grandpa, grandma, and aunt are different from ordinary people. Others are hostages tied to the mountain. But your grandpa and grandma are relatives with the bandit leader, and your aunt married Hei Hu."

"Although Hei Hu has been killed, it is an indisputable fact that he married your aunt. Our general was magnanimous and did not implicate you directly. You are not grateful and come to thank us, but why do you come here to forcefully demand that we release him?"

Hearing He Mingyu say this, Xiao Lan rolled her eyes and thought to herself, don't think I don't know what you are planning. It's just that your general is short of money, so you start eyeing this piece of white pork belly and want to take a bite.

She just didn't believe that they hadn't checked how much money Zhao's family made from the soap business in the city. They probably wanted to get a piece of the pie, or they wanted her to show them a new way to make money. Otherwise, why would they go through the county government's hands and ask her family to come to the city to pick someone up?

You have to know that Mr. Sheng has more than one son, Sheng Xuan. No matter how they shoot, it won't be their turn. Her father, Sheng Xuan, is the third son. In this era, the most important thing is to respect the order of seniority. If they want to rescue someone, they have to ask the eldest son, Sheng Nuo, to do it. At worst, there is the second son, Sheng Kai, to take the blame. But the county government asked their family to do it, and the county government didn't even notify Sheng Hao's family, only notifying Xiao Lan's family. This is worth thinking about.

Xiao Lan thought to herself, we are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they acting out Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with me? So she rolled her eyes at He Mingyu and ignored what he said.

Shen Liu knew that Xiao Lan was smart. He laughed happily at the fact that He Mingyu had hit a snag. "You've met your match. Don't treat her as an ordinary farm girl. The girl in front of you has killed many Hu soldiers and blocked their pursuit, ensuring the safety of the villagers who followed her to the capital. She is not as innocent as she looks."

He Mingyu touched his nose and laughed foolishly.

Xiao Lan didn't want to continue beating around the bush with them. She knew that Shen Liu had already figured out her details. She also knew Shen Liu's character. Since they were all acquaintances, she couldn't pretend at all. It would be better to ask directly, "General Shen, in order to release my grandfather, grandmother, and aunt, what are your conditions?"

"He Mingyu, did you hear that? It's true that this little girl is a god of wealth, but this is a hot god of wealth." Shen Liu said with a smile.
