It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Lu Xingchen waited and watched the box in the system unfold gradually.

Slowly, he saw a space gradually opening up behind the box.

I didn’t expect that this system comes with its own space.

However, this space is not big. There is no blue sky and clear water, no private treasure house, and no magical spring that can cure all diseases. There is only a shabby little house without even a door, and a few torn sacks inside.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Xingchen wanted to take a look at those torn sacks.

The torn sacks were filled with things. On one of the sacks was written the words "Long-staple cotton seeds".

It turned out that the sack was filled with cotton seeds.

"Is there anything else?" Lu Xingchen asked the system.

'What you see is what you get.' The system replied

This system speaks in a very cool way.

"So if my territory expands, will the space in the system continue to expand?" Lu Xingchen asked.

"I'm not sure about that, maybe."

Lu Xingchen, "You are totally clueless."

"I am just a small fry in the system world, doing my job."

"I don't know the secrets of the upper echelons."

'However, the seeds of this long-staple cotton have been specially cultivated and are suitable for the growing environment of Xing County, and can bring good returns.'

'And winter will come early this year. It will be very cold in this area, and long-staple cotton will fetch a good price.'

"You can't say you are a system, you can only say you are a mouthpiece," Lu Xingchen said.

The system snorted, expressing its dissatisfaction with its emotionless electronic voice.

Lu Xingchen took out two books and several sacks of cotton seeds.

"Cotton Planting Technology" She had to find someone who could farm and read, and send him to them for research, so as to quickly train the farmers to learn the technology of planting cotton.

As for "The Technology of Mountain Combat in the Cold Weapon Era", she had to learn it herself first, and then let Zhang Fan and others learn it.

It seems that her next step is to take down the several strongholds on Niutou Mountain and take Niutou Mountain for herself.

Niutou Mountain is not of much value, mainly because these bandits are always harassing the common people, robbing and killing people, and doing all kinds of evil.

Moreover, they are very ambitious and want to capture the county town.

It had rained heavily a few days ago. The road was not completely dry yet, and a horse galloped through the mud.

The horse galloped past, and the dirt flew everywhere.

It is time to plant the seeds. Although the seeds have not been planted yet, the ground needs to be leveled and the ridges need to be repaired.

The busy farmers in the fields saw the horse galloping past them and couldn't help but stop their work and look at the energetic young man.

Ling Xiao was out on business. When he heard that Lu Kui was seriously injured by bandits, he rushed back without hesitation.

Ling Xiao is also Lu Kui's adopted son. He is fifteen years old this year, one year younger than Lu Xingchen.

The fifteen-year-old boy has grown to the height of an adult, but his face still has a childish look and his behavior still reveals a childish air.

He grew up with Lu Xingchen and has the best relationship with Lu Xingchen.

When he was young, he was Lu Xingchen's little tail. He listened to Lu Xingchen's words and couldn't get rid of him even if he wanted to.

Now that he has grown into a young man, Lu Kui has assigned him tasks.

Only when they arrived at the gate of the county town did Ling Xiao pull the reins of the horse tightly.

The horse's front hooves rose into the air and it let out a long and powerful neigh.

Horse riding is not allowed in the county town of Xing County because there are many elderly people and children, which may easily cause accidental injuries.

The horse's front hooves landed on the ground, and Ling Xiao also jumped off the horse.

The soldiers guarding the city have already come up to lead the horses.

At the city gate, there were common people who knew Ling Xiao. They greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Ling, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Lu Kui had already become the local emperor of Xing County.

The official configuration of Lu Kui County Yamen is no longer as complete as before.

Whenever Lu Kui had any errands, he would assign them to those he trusted.

People like Zhang Fan and Ling Xiao often deal with ordinary people, and the ordinary people are already familiar with them.

"How is my master?"

"The county magistrate is very good." An old man replied, "Just now the county magistrate read out the order to give up his position in the square."

"Give way..." Ling Xiao showed a puzzled look on his face.

Another old man continued, "Young Master, you just came back. Did you know that the county magistrate has given his position as county magistrate to Master Lu?"

"Mr. Lu is now the new county magistrate of Xing County."

Just now, Ling Xiao heard that Lu Kui was fine, and he felt relieved. But now he heard that the position of county magistrate had been given to Mr. Lu, and his heart suddenly became tense again.

Ling Xiao didn't care about anything else and ran towards the county government office.

Lu Kui and Lu Xingchen lived in a house behind the county government office.

What happened to the master? Is his health so bad? Why did he give the position of county magistrate to the young master?
