Female-to-male: I live on farming

Upon hearing the words of the Zhenbei Army's submission to the princess, the happiest people were the ordinary soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.

They didn't pursue much, and they didn't understand the power struggles of the upper class. The most important thing to them was to have enough food and clothing, and how much money they could earn in a year.

Last night, when someone was chatting with the members of the Black Armor Army, he curiously asked about their treatment. When he learned that they could get a monthly salary of two taels, he was immediately jealous.

It’s still a war, but look at the armor they wear, it’s so brand new that you can even see people’s reflections on it, the weapons they hold are sharp and strong, and they get a high salary every month.

I looked down at myself again and felt even more depressed.

At this moment, smoke rose from the dining hall, and the air was filled with the aroma of food. When the dinner horn blew, they all lined up together to wait for food to be distributed.

When the food was served, their eyes lit up instantly. They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten such a sumptuous meal: steaming rice, stewed meat and vegetable soup.

You know, they had been eating dry steamed buns and rice soup with little rice grains for a long time, so they couldn't wait to pick up the bowls and chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.

"What is this? It tastes delicious!"

The cook from the Xuanjia Army explained, "These are potatoes. It is said that they are only grown in Liangzhou. They are very filling. You are in for a treat."

The Zhenbei Army, who were working hard, became even more envious of the Xuanjia Army after hearing this.

Thinking of yesterday's scene, the Zhenbei Army below cheered even louder.

At this moment, Lord Xiao suddenly stepped forward, laughed a few times and said, "I have been in the Zhenbei Army for several years. Although I am old now, I am still strong. Why don't I contribute to the reconstruction of the Zhenbei Army?"

Everyone knew that he was being extremely modest when he said this.

What does it mean to have spent several years in the Zhenbei Army? It was under his leadership that the Zhenbei Army developed into the most powerful fighting force in Dayan. Even though he has been retired for many years, the old men in the Zhenbei Army still have tears in their eyes and are full of respect when they see him.

Jinyang didn't expect that he would take the initiative to bring it up, even though she had already thought about it in her heart, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lord Xiao seemed to be rippling with emotion.

"Okay, since Grandfather has this intention, then I will trouble you."

Qin Zheng lowered his head slightly, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

At the beginning of today, he was curious about why the Zhenbei Army was placed at the forefront. He thought that they wanted to see Tulu's end clearly so that they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Now I think the princess had already planned to completely recover the Zhenbei Army today. At this time, Lord Xiao suddenly said this, but it was just because he was afraid that he still had ulterior motives, so he arranged for Lord Xiao to intervene in the Zhenbei Army and supervise him legitimately.

Jinyang did not act in a hurry after recaptured the Zhenbei Army. After the great battle that day, both the Xuanjia Army and the Zhenbei Army needed some time to rest. Moreover, the 100,000 strongest troops of Northern Qin had been destroyed and were no longer a threat.

……

The princess led the army to drive out the Northern Qin and rebuild the northern defense line. Lu Youqing was in charge of the overall situation in Yizhou, and she transferred Lu Youqing from Liangzhou before she set off.

Liangzhou is the eldest princess' fiefdom, and she has been managing it for several years. All officials and people in Liangzhou are loyal to her. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there is no need to worry.

On the contrary, although Yizhou was conquered by her on the surface, there were undercurrents inside and someone was needed to guard it, so the first person she thought of was Lu Youqing.

Lu Youqing arranged the affairs of Liangzhou, and after the new governor of Liangzhou took office, she rushed to Yizhou with Yueya.

Qin Ke and his wife had no time to reconnect with each other, and Lu Youqing devoted himself entirely to official duties.

She was directly appointed by the eldest princess as the highest administrative chief of Yizhou. The first thing she did was to interview the county magistrates of various cities and counties in Yizhou, clean up the officialdom in Yizhou, and gradually promote the new policies of Liangzhou to Yizhou.

The so-called cleanup of officialdom, in fact, to put it bluntly, is to investigate corrupt officials and punish villains.

So the gentle lady in Qin Ke's eyes began to try cases, convict people, and behead people in Yizhou in a mighty manner. People's heads fell in the vegetable market every day, and everyone in the Yizhou officialdom was in danger, fearing that the dirty things they had done would be discovered.

For a time, when Lu Youqing's name was mentioned in the official circles of Yizhou City, everyone changed color.

Lihua didn't care about this situation, and even felt it was very familiar.

After all, Lu Youqing had acted so swiftly and decisively in the past, killing corrupt officials and wealthy people in Xihai City in fear.

However, the people of West Sea were grateful to Lady Lu. Although they were afraid of her, they respected her more.

Just like the people of Yizhou today, look at the character of the previous Yizhou governor, a corrupt official who did not care about the lives of the people when Yizhou suffered a snow disaster last year. How many of the county magistrates under him are innocent?

The people have suffered greatly from this, and now seeing the end of those corrupt officials, they all admire Lord Lu in their hearts.

Of course, Lu Youqing did not intend to kill all the corrupt officials in Yizhou. She specifically targeted those officials who had committed heinous crimes and had a very bad reputation. Even so, the smell of blood in Caishikou lingered for a full month.

As for those whose crimes were less serious, they were only fined their salaries.

Confiscate the property and impose fines.

It has to be said that the corrupt officials in Yizhou really deserve to die. Lu Youqing checked the account books she had seized yesterday. So much silver was seized from a prefecture, and this county was a notoriously poor county in Yizhou.

Seeing all this huge pile of silver, Lu Youqing felt that these corrupt officials deserved no death.

As usual, a portion of the confiscated silver was given to the head of the Gu family. Since the war broke out, the head of the Gu family has been busy purchasing military supplies such as food and herbs.

It is not an easy task to feed so many soldiers. Liangzhou has iron mines, so there is no need to worry about weapons. However, the development time is still too short. In just two years, even with Qin Ke growing so many high-yield crops.

They stored so much food, but it would not be enough after a long time. This required Gu Lanxi to purchase food from outside. Gu's business was spread all over Dayan, so it was just right for them to do this.

The large-scale purchase of grain has caused grain prices in other places to rise significantly.

In this way, Lu Youqing killed some people and promoted some people.

He was even given the title of 'living devil'.

With both kindness and force, who would dare to disobey her orders?

During that period, every time Qin Ke went out, his colleagues looked at him with extremely complicated eyes, and they always seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing that he occasionally mentioned his wife, they all silently gave him a thumbs up. Qin Ke curled his lips in disdain, thinking that these people were just envious and jealous.

You have to know that a person who is decisive and ruthless in public will put away all her disguises in front of you and face you with her most real and gentle side, and you are the only one in the world who can see her like this.

What a proud thing this is.
