I have been farming since I crossed over.

"Master Thirteen, I'll toast you a glass."

An abrupt voice interrupted Lu Jintang's thoughts. Why did this voice sound so familiar? Wasn't this Captain Chen, Grandfather's personal guard? If he were here, would he be Grandfather's personal guard?

Lu Jintang was delighted and was about to speak when he heard Lu Liu say, "What's wrong with you? Step back. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

The young man who stepped forward to toast was not unhappy after being scolded by Lu Liu. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am just too excited to see the Lu family again."

Lu Jintang and Lu Liu looked at each other, shook their heads at the same time, and watched the young man retreat without saying a word. He didn't know that in the Cavalry Corps, everyone must be addressed as "I", and not as "slave" or "little one". The general said that everyone in the army is equal, and there are only differences in superiors and subordinates.

After dinner, Lu Jintang returned to the study in the courtyard which he had just moved into two days ago. He waved his hand, and Lu Da, Lu Er and Lu Liu entered the study together.

Lu Jintang said: "Lu Er, be on guard, Lu Liu, tell us the origins of these people."

Lu Er left, and Lu Liu said, "Sir, many of the generals here were found one by one by us, and then we asked them to lead us along. Finally, after we reunited, I brought them here. Their identities should be fine. However, there are five people who came here on their own, revealed their identities, and came back with us."

Lu Jintang asked, "Did you go looking for someone in such a big way?"

Lu Er quickly said, "How could that be? We kept your instructions in mind and searched privately and slowly, so the progress was very slow in the early stages. As more and more people were found, the pace gradually picked up."

"Then the identities of these people need to be verified?" Lu Jintang said.

"Yes, so I observed them all the way, and there was no breakthrough. Also, there is no one who knows these five people. Only they themselves say they know someone. They are all captains or captains, but others don't know them. This is the list of those five people, including the person who came to toast tonight." Lu Er said as he handed a piece of paper to Lu Jintang.

"Okay, call this person to my room to serve and interrogate him in my name, but don't alert the enemy." Lu Jintang said.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Lu Da turned and went out.

"Others?" Lu Liu asked.

"Just keep an eye on him. We're not a secret here. Watch for his next moves. Also, give me a list of the people who came today. We'll go to the fields together to plant rice seedlings tomorrow. Talk to Lu Er about the rest of the arrangements. Grandfather should be here in 20 days at most."

Lu Liu took the order and left.

Lu Jintang slowly stood up and stepped lightly out of the courtyard. Like a ghost, he vanished into the night. Using his Qinggong skills, he flew towards Changshan Village.

After a few more flights, they arrived in front of the Yang family's makeshift shed. The air was filled with a faint scent of fireworks, which made people feel warm and friendly.

Lu Jintang walked into the shed where Yang Mingxi was, with ease and familiarity. He saw Yang Mingxi lying quietly on the bed, soundly asleep. Her not-so-beautiful face, illuminated by the moonlight, looked particularly charming, as if emitting a soft glow.

Lu Jintang stood quietly by the bed, gazing at Yang Mingxi's sleeping face, with an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart. He gently reached out and stroked Yang Mingxi's cheek, feeling her warmth.

Yang Mingxi's breathing was even and deep, as if she was enjoying the tranquility and peace of mind in her dream. Lu Jintang's mood gradually became cheerful, and his inner anxiety and worry gradually dissipated.

At this moment, Lu Jintang felt his heart finally settled down. He knew that as long as Yang Mingxi was by his side, everything would be fine.

The next day, the Yang family's courtyard was bustling with activity early in the morning. Everyone was busy preparing food for the stall and feeding the chicks and ducklings. As for the staffing arrangements, Wu filled Zhang's vacancy and joined the stall.

When Yang Mingxi came over for breakfast, the stall staff had already been arranged and the things were almost packed up, ready to leave. Seeing that her mother was also among the entourage, Yang Mingxi didn't ask any more questions, just greeted them and went home.

During breakfast, Lu Jintang invited Yang Mingxi to come over and give him some guidance. The Lu family was planting rice seedlings today. Yang Mingxi thought she had nothing else to do, so she agreed. As the two of them set out for Qianhuang Mountain, they noticed that everyone in the Yang family courtyard was busy and organized, all smiling, and the atmosphere was particularly good.

After leaving the courtyard, Yang Mingxi said, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Preparing food like this is not only inconvenient to manage, but also unhygienic. I'm thinking of building a workshop on the wasteland by the river that we just bought to specialize in the preliminary processing of these things. What do you think?"

After listening to this, Lu Jintang's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea. It will be easier to manage and the output will be guaranteed."

Yang Mingxi smiled and nodded, "That's right. I want to streamline the process to ensure the supply of ingredients."

Lu Jintang said, "Then you can go check and see if they have any problems with transplanting the seedlings. If there are any, give them some guidance. If not, you can think about it carefully. We can also make room for our land by the river. Once the seedlings are transplanted, we can start work and try to have it ready before the snack street opens to ensure food supply."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "I think so too. As for the raw materials, such as vegetables and animals, we will make plans when the time comes. The main part will probably be arranged on your side. For the rest, I will find the village chief and let the villagers follow suit to plant and raise animals."

Lu Jintang said, "Okay, you are a blessing to the people of Changshan Village. If that's not enough, I'll go find Hanghang. He's the official in charge, and he's very willing to do good things like this."

As they talked, they arrived at Qianhuang Mountain, where everyone had already started pulling out the rice seedlings. Lu Er was in charge of teaching, and a group of people followed suit, learning in an orderly manner.

In the paddy field, Lu Da was teaching everyone how to plant rice seedlings. Looking at the rows of straight seedlings planted in front of him, Yang Mingxi praised, "You are worthy of your military background. The seedlings you planted are all so straight."

Lu Jintang was also smiling as he looked at the planted seedlings. They were much better than when he first started planting them. Old Man Lu was also among them, reminding those around him from time to time, and he was very busy.

Yang Mingxi looked around and saw the paddy fields were packed with people, probably several thousand or so. She smiled and said, "Your plan is impressive. I'm afraid it can be finished in a day. Where did you get so many people?"

Lu Jintang said, "Looking for the village chief. There are four or five hundred people coming to the village, and they don't want to be paid?"

Yang Mingxi was puzzled. When did this man become so popular? The villagers even helped him without asking for any wages. Then he smiled and said, "Oh, so amazing! What good things did you do that people are so eager to help you?"

Lu Jintang smiled and shook his hand, then moved closer to Yang Mingxi and asked, "Guess?"

Yang Mingxi chuckled and said, "Forget it, I don't gossip."

Lu Jintang said, "Haven't you noticed that more people are joining us for exercise every morning? Someone in the village came to the village chief and said their children wanted to join us for exercise. I agreed, and the village chief informed everyone in the village that starting tomorrow, everyone can join us for exercise. But today, and in the future, every family must come and help us when we have a big move. Besides, I also said we would provide two meals, and now, almost everyone in the village who can move, except yours, has come!"

Yang Mingxi gave a thumbs-up and nodded, saying, "That's fine. We can have more of them. Let's train them and see if there are any good ones. We can pick some out and use them in the future. Then, let's train directly on the main road. It's inconvenient to train in other places with too many people."

Lu Jintang smiled brightly and said, "It's true that husband and wife follow each other's lead. I think the same thing as you. It doesn't matter. We will gradually separate and practice separately, according to age, physical strength, etc., and train in different areas."

Yang Mingxi blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's damaging to my reputation. But your idea is really good. Thank you for doing so much for them. Actually, exercising is fine, but there's another thing I want them to do most: learn to read. But that's not possible right now. We still have to look for a teacher."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Don't worry about your reputation, I'll take care of everything. Also, my family will be here in 20 days at most, and each of them can be a husband. I'm still worried about finding things for them to do. I'm afraid they'll be bored."

After hearing this, Yang Mingxi held his head high and said with high morale: "God is helping me, God is helping me, Changshan Village will rise."

Lu Jintang looked at the excited Yang Mingxi, then at the people busy in the paddy fields behind him. He also raised his head and chest and said loudly: "The Lu family has not fallen, the Lu family has also stood up."
