I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi took a deep breath, and her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. Then, she slowly recounted to everyone what she had said to Lu Jintang that day.

"Grandpa, father and brothers, my next plan is to ensure that food, fodder and money are completely safe." Yang Mingxi paused for a moment after he finished speaking.

Turning to look at Lu Jintang, their eyes met before she continued, "In all the counties under the jurisdiction of Xinyun Prefecture, I intend to purchase all the land suitable for growing rice and other crops, and organize manpower to open up wasteland and grow grain to ensure a safe supply of food and fodder.

Furthermore, I will carefully plan operational strategies for the commercial streets across the country, striving to increase revenue. This way, I can ensure that you all have no worries when spending money. Once we have a solid foundation in Xinyun Prefecture, we can gradually expand to other prefectures and gradually improve logistics."

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, the entire study room instantly fell into silence.

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Yang Mingxi, as if they couldn't believe that the words they heard came from the mouth of this seemingly weak woman in front of them.

They all opened their mouths and eyes wide, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Lin Dong opened his eyes wide and stared blankly ahead, as if his whole body was frozen.

He wondered inwardly, did this youngest aunt even know what he was talking about? She actually made such outrageous claims, claiming she could support an entire army on her own!

And judging from the tone, the size of this army is probably quite large! This is not something that can be done casually!

The other men in the Lu family were also shocked and had the same feeling as Lin Dong.

They all thought, how could it be so easy to feed an army? The manpower, material resources and financial resources required were simply unimaginable!

Mr. Lu, who was sitting in the first seat, had a look of shock on his face, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.

However, despite being extremely shocked, he couldn't utter a single word.

Just as everyone fell silent, Old Master Lu suddenly nodded vigorously, a pleased smile on his face, and said, "Men of the Lu family, if you can all have the same courage and drive as Xi girl, then nothing in the world can stump you!"

After saying this, Old Master Lu stood up and continued, "I will definitely do my best to support you, Xi girl. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me." As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Lu slowly walked to Yang Mingxi and gently patted her shoulder to express encouragement and trust.

Lu Jintang looked around at everyone with a smile on his face, and then he slowly said, "Please don't be so surprised, everyone. When Ah Xi first mentioned this to me, I was just as unbelievable as you are.

However, after she explained and calculated everything to me in detail, I was convinced that she was absolutely sure about this matter.

Therefore, the next matter is the responsibility of us men. I hope everyone will speak freely and share your ideas and plans."

When everyone heard Lu Jintang's words, their hearts suddenly sank, and they felt that the invisible pressure seemed to have increased a little more.

At this moment, Lin Dong was gazing at Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang with reverence. Deep in his heart, he had quietly made an unshakable determination - to ascend to the supreme position and create an unprecedented prosperity for the Nanling Kingdom.

With this ambition in mind, Lin Dong suddenly stood up and walked straight towards Old Master Lu and Lu's father with steady and powerful steps.

He bowed deeply and respectfully, and said earnestly, "Great-grandfather, grandfather, I am determined to fight for the supreme position and vow to create a prosperous and glorious Nanling Kingdom with my own hands.

"But I know full well that to achieve this ambition, I cannot do without the unwavering support of these two elders. Here, I would like to thank you in advance!" He straightened up and gazed at the two venerable elders before him, his eyes gleaming with confidence and determination.

Old Master Lu had a kind look on his face, but his eyes were serious as he stared intently at Lin Dong in front of him.

This child has always been gentle and has no ambitions. He has never spoken these words as decisively as he did today.

Old Master Lu couldn't help but be slightly moved. He looked deeply at Lin Dong and said slowly, "My son, you know that this road is difficult and arduous. It's not only for us old fellows, but also for you. It is full of hardships and challenges. Have you really thought it through?"

When Lin Dong heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

His eyes slowly swept over everyone present, then fixed on Old Master Lu, and said in a slow and firm tone: "Great-grandfather, do you think I have any other choice at this moment?

Aren’t all the elders here also helpless?

If I want to survive, this is my only way out. Furthermore, I firmly believe that only I can lead Nanling Kingdom towards greater strength and prosperity.

Because I know that I have your unconditional support behind me, and you are my most solid and reliable backing!"

After hearing this, Old Master Lu smiled with satisfaction, his eyes full of trust and expectations for Lin Dong. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let's work together and make progress together. My child, I firmly believe that with your talent and perseverance, you will achieve great things."

Father Lu nodded slightly, expressing his approval and saying, "Xiaojiu, seeing that you are so sensible and have grown up, grandpa is very pleased!"

Hearing this, Xiaojiu looked at his grandfather with a determined gaze and responded seriously, "Grandfather, whenever I think of our people still living a hard life with insufficient food and clothing, my heart cannot calm down for a long time.

I really don't want to see this situation continue, but if I want to completely change this situation, I think only my uncle and aunt have the ability to do it.

After all, solving the problem of food and clothing for the people is only the beginning. What is more important is to enable them to have a place to rely on and a place to belong.

However, looking around, I am afraid that my other brothers and sisters may not be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. That is why I am determined to step forward and complete this great mission. "

After hearing Xiaojiu's impassioned speech, Father Lu laughed at first, but soon his expression became serious and solemn, and he warned earnestly:

"Very good, child, you have a place to rely on and a place to belong. You must remember every word you said today.

Because this is the original intention of your determination to do this thing. As long as this original intention remains unwavering, then no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, the essence of this matter will not change. "

Lin Dong nodded heavily.

Lu Jinyan stared at the scene before him, slowly standing up. With a firm gaze, he said, "Grandfather, Father, after careful consideration, I hope to go to the Royal Guards and personally train them, dedicating myself to improving their combat capabilities and skills." As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jincong beside him also stood up and shouted passionately, "Grandfather, Father, please allow me to go with my eldest brother. Please rest assured and leave this matter to us two brothers. Just give us two months, and we will definitely present you with a unique Royal Guards, an elite division that can be said to be invincible!"

At this moment, Old Master Lu and Father Lu exchanged a glance, each revealing a subtle hint of relief. In reality, all of this had been planned, and now that the children had volunteered, it was undoubtedly the ideal situation. So, they both smiled and nodded in unison, and Father Lu said, "Okay, children, since you're so determined and confident, go for it. We believe you can live up to our expectations!"

At this moment, Lu Changfeng, who had been silent the entire time, saw his fourth brother interrupt his eldest brother just as he finished speaking. After finally waiting for them both to finish, he couldn't wait to take the lead: "Grandfather, Father, I have an idea. I plan to personally go to the border, look for my former subordinates, and learn about the current situation there. In addition, I plan to see if it's possible to reach some kind of cooperation agreement with the troops currently stationed there. After all, our own manpower is really a bit too few."

Father Lu stared at Lu Changfeng, his lips slightly parted, as if he was about to nod in agreement.

At this moment, Lu Jintang said with a smile, "Second brother, this matter is not simple. Not only is it fraught with danger, it's also extremely arduous. So, after careful consideration, I've decided it's best for me to make this trip myself."

Lu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He shook his head gently and responded, "Little brother, don't forget that I, your brothers, am here! How can I let you do everything by yourself? Just leave this matter to your second brother. If you really encounter a problem that you can't solve, it won't be too late for you to come back then!"

Lu Jintang wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end.

Old Master Lu, who had been silent the entire time, slowly spoke up, "Yes, that's fine. You are brothers. Only when each of you fully utilizes your own strengths and roles, supports each other, and works together, can our Lu family prosper steadily. I agree with Changfeng's initiative and fully support him."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Changchun beside him said, "Grandfather, if that's the case, why don't you let me go with my second brother? That way, we can look after each other on the way."

After a moment's thought, Father Lu decisively slammed his hand on the table and said loudly, "Alright! It's settled then. I'll leave this matter to you two brothers. However, the journey is long and full of difficulties and dangers, so you must be extremely careful and not take it lightly. If there are any difficulties or changes, be sure to send a message back home in time to inform your family."

Lu Changfeng and Lu Changchun looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Lu Changyu stood up suddenly, looking at his grandfather and father with a determined gaze, and said loudly, "Grandfather, Father, after careful consideration, I feel that the transportation team is more suitable for me! Firstly, I can help transport goods for my brothers and sisters; secondly, I can also take on the responsibility of delivering important information. What do you think of this arrangement?"

After hearing this, Father Lu nodded slightly, staring at Lu Changyu with a serious expression and admonishing him, "Well, that's a good idea. But Changyu, there must not be any delay in transmitting information, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. You must communicate and coordinate closely with your youngest brother and sister-in-law on this matter. From now on, the two of you will be like our family's clairvoyants. You must grasp any and all changes in a timely manner and must not take them lightly. Do you understand?"

Lu Changyu straightened his back, clasped his hands together, and responded in a loud and firm voice, "Yes, Father! I will do my best and live up to my mission!"

That solemn oath seemed to be able to penetrate the sky, and it moved people.

At this time, Lu Jinshuo beside him also spoke up, "Since that's the case, why don't I cooperate with Third Brother? We can carefully plan our respective routes, minimize duplication of routes, and strive to obtain key intelligence as soon as possible."

In his deep eyes, confidence and courage shone together, shining like the bright stars in the night sky.

There is no doubt that from his determined eyes, it can be seen that he is fully armed, ready and prepared to face the many challenges ahead.

At this moment, Lu Changxia was about to speak out his thoughts and opinions, but before he could say anything, Lu Jinkun on the side said as quickly as the wind: "Grandfather, Father, in my opinion, why don't you let me assist my youngest brother and sister-in-law in taking care of the farming matters. I will do my best to ensure that the supply of materials in the rear is foolproof!" Before he finished speaking, Lu's father nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Changxia quickly agreed, "Father, I also think this is a good idea. I will continue to stick to my job and assist my youngest brother and sister-in-law to ensure an adequate supply of food and grass in the rear." After saying this, he smiled, his eyes revealing full determination.

Lu Changqiu and Lu Changdong also nodded in agreement.

Lu Changqiu slowly said, "We will continue to assist our youngest sister-in-law. In addition to our daily cargo transportation tasks, we will also gradually expand our business scope to the capital. At the same time, we must also pay attention to collecting various important intelligence."

Lu Changdong added, "That's right, what Bage said is absolutely right. We will definitely live up to our mission and complete all tasks successfully."

Old Master Lu and Father Lu looked at each other and laughed heartily, saying, "Hahaha, as the saying goes, a tiger father will have a dog son. You really didn't disappoint us. You are all great."
