Female-to-male: I live on farming

Cui Yuanyuan was smart and clever. With Lu Youqing's personal guidance, she quickly got the hang of the affairs of the West Sea. Moreover, Lu Youqing had already determined the development strategy and direction of the West Sea in recent years. Cui Yuanyuan only needed to develop according to this.

The only thing that Lu Youqing is worried about is the sugar factory in Xihai. Currently, the sugar factory is still in its embryonic development stage. Due to the small scale of sugarcane planting in Xihai this year, the scale of the sugar factory is also small.

As the scale of sugarcane planting expands next year, the productivity of the sugar factory will be further improved, and it will surely become the economic pillar of Xihai.

She waited until the first batch of sugar was produced before setting off back to Cangwu.

In fact, the sales of white sugar were not difficult at all. When Chu Yin took out the sample, others saw this snow-white sugar for the first time and bought a lot of it immediately after trying it.

However, the price of sugar has always been high, let alone sugar of such excellent quality, so the profit of white sugar is quite considerable.

After handing over all the affairs of Xihai to Cui Yuanyuan, Lu Youqing asked Nan Qiao to pack her luggage for returning home. They had not been there for long and she was probably the official with the shortest time as county magistrate, so she did not have much luggage.

But the main issue was the handling of personnel. Lu Youqing raised his eyes, fixed his gaze on Lihua, and confirmed again: "Lihua, are you sure you want to go with me?"

"Yes, sir, I want to follow you." Lihua nodded seriously, with a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind. She raised her head, looked at Lu Youqing, and continued, "It was you who saved me, and Lihua has always remembered it. Lihua is also willing to follow you and serve you."

There was a sincerity and determination in her voice that moved people.

Lu Youqing nodded slightly, then slowly said: "If you choose to follow me, you will have to leave your hometown. If you have made up your mind, then let's go together."

Lihua took a deep breath, and her tone became lower. She said, "Sir, I actually have some selfish motives. My father came to the county government to cause trouble before, and it was only with your support that I was able to avoid him. If I stayed in Xihai by myself, I don't know when he would come to find me again."

Lu Youqing nodded, satisfied with Lihua's honesty, and said, "Then pack your luggage, and we will leave in two days."

Lihua responded and turned to pack her things.

After she left, Li Nanqiao, who was standing beside her, said hesitantly, "Madam, I..."

Lu Youqing looked at her expression, but a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and said: "I guess you have something to tell me."

It seemed as if he had already seen the struggle she had been experiencing recently.

Li Nanqiao nodded slowly, and mustered up the courage to say, "My wife, you once asked me what kind of life I wanted to live, and I've already thought about it."

Strictly speaking, she had already had this idea in her mind, but because Lu Youqing was sent to the West Sea at that time, and she heard that the situation in the West Sea was severe and dangerous, she resolutely followed her to the West Sea.

Now they are about to return to Cangwu, and Lu Youqing has someone to serve her, so she can rest assured.

"My dear, I have made up my mind. I want to join the army, but I don't know..."

On the way to Liangzhou, I saw Xiao Anyi riding a war horse, looking heroic, with a strong and majestic figure.

Li Nanqiao saw a unique charm in her, a grace that combined majesty and gentleness, which made her admire and yearn for her. At that moment, she suddenly found her goal and direction.

"Have you thought about it?"

Li Nanqiao nodded resolutely.

Lu Youqing stood up and walked slowly to her. Her expression was still calm, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes, and there was a hint of relief in her sparkling eyes.

He raised his hand and patted her shoulder. Li Nanqiao was taller than women, even taller than the average man, so Lu Youqing had to raise his arm very high to pat her.

"I'm glad, Nan Qiao, that you can find what you want to do." Lu Youqing's eyebrows curved: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will help you as soon as possible."

Since ancient times, the army has only recruited men as soldiers, and there has never been a precedent for recruiting women. However, Li Nanqiao witnessed Xiao Anyi's heroic appearance as a female army general, and this scene deeply touched her inner ambition. She began to think, if she could serve as a soldier under the eldest princess, maybe she could also make a difference? This thought ignited the fire of hope in Li Nanqiao's heart, and she was full of expectations and longings for the future.

The help Lu Youqing was referring to was naturally helping Li Nanqiao enter the military camp.

"Thank you, madam."

"Okay, you go back and pack your luggage. We will set off the day after tomorrow." Lu Youqing ordered.

When she was the only one left in the study, she slowly walked to the window and looked up at the night outside. There was a layer of deep blue mist in the air, and the twinkling lights lit up the night sky, creating a mysterious and quiet atmosphere.

Now that the power has been transferred, she has a rare moment of free time. Thoughts of Qin Ke flood into her heart. Those thoughts are like a breeze, blowing gently through the window lattice, gentle and delicate.

Fortunately, I will be able to see him in a few days. I wonder what he is doing now? Thinking of this, Lu Youqing smiled faintly, and his usually indifferent expression became gentle.

When Lu Youqing left Xihai, she did not tell anyone except Cui Yuanyuan, as she did not want to alarm others.

However, the carriage suddenly stopped when it reached the city gate.

"What's wrong?" Lu Youqing lifted the car curtain and looked out.

However, the city gate was crowded with people. They had heard from somewhere that Lu Youqing was leaving, and they all came to see him off.

Their clothes were simple, but their faces revealed sincere emotions.

"Thank you, sir! Your arrival makes Xihai a better place." said an old man with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, sir, without your governance, we ordinary people might not be able to live such a peaceful and harmonious life as we do now," said another woman excitedly.

"Thank you. I just did my duty." Lu Youqing jumped off the carriage and looked at the scene in front of her, and a warm current surged in her heart. The people came to see her off spontaneously, which made her feel very warm and moved.

At this moment, she felt that all her efforts were worth it, and everything she had done was not in vain. This feeling of being recognized and respected made Lu Youqing experience an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Not wanting to waste too much time, Lu Youqing waved goodbye to the people and finally got on the carriage.

As the wheels rolled slowly, the people followed the carriage until it disappeared at the end of their sight. The scene was filled with the sadness of parting.
