During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Shuangshuang carefully examined the gold in the boxes before her. Seeing the glittering gold before her, she decided to store it all in her personal space, choosing a particularly auspicious location.

Qin Shuangshuang clapped her hands and smiled with satisfaction.

When she came to her senses, she found that the carriage had stopped.

Qin Shuangshuang asked the people outside curiously, "What happened? Why did it suddenly stop?"

The soldiers outside said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Young Master Lu is back."

Qin Shuangshuang curiously lifted the curtain and saw that, sure enough, Lu Jun walked over in a breezy manner and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Why didn't you call me when you left? I just went out to play for a while because I was lazy."

Qin Shuangshuang looked at the yellow mud under his feet, her puzzled gaze vanishing instantly. He must have gone to a very far place.

Qin Shuangshuang smiled calmly, "Come in. You can't just leave without saying goodbye in the future, or I'll worry."

Lu Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

The two sat in the carriage, and Qin Shuangshuang held a tent and a pen, carefully writing down how much money they had taken back from the Nawal tribe during this period.

At this moment, Lu Jun looked around and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Didn't you ask about that thing that had so much iron? Why can't I see it? Or have you already eaten it all?"

Qin Shuangshuang's heart skipped a beat. How did he know?

Then he thought he was probably just joking with him. How would he know that he had a spatial ability?

She said to Lu Jun, "What are you thinking? I just had someone put it away for me in advance. There are so many refugees and bandits on this road. I can't let them take advantage of me."

Lu Jun nodded in agreement. "Your concerns are valid. I saw quite a few on the way here, and I almost had my clothes ripped off by them too."

Lu Jun's words made Qin Shuangshuang even more wary.

Now that she's back in the military camp, she probably can't stay there forever. Qin Shuangshuang is thinking that she needs to find a place where she and her men can have a stable place to stay first.

After a group of people got off their vehicles at the entrance of the military camp, they saw Jin Danian walking over.

Jin Danian smiled and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "We know very well what you've done in the Nawal tribe. You've done a good job."

I heard you rescued many hostages; you've done a great job this time.

By the way, there's something I wanted to tell you: the Waler tribe is planning to withdraw their troops, so we don't need to stay here any longer.

The current Crown Prince has assumed the position of regent, and it seems the situation is improving. My master is also about to become the magistrate of this county.

He said he wanted to discuss some things with you, since you've been the most familiar with the area around the county during this time.

Qin Shuangshuang was overjoyed, never expecting that she had unexpectedly saved the life of the county magistrate.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for me to take my mother and them to stay at the county government office for a while?

But thinking about it carefully, that place was, after all, the place belonged to the deceased brother of the fat landlord, and he had the contract in his hands.

However, since this is a government place, there might still be room for negotiation. Besides, I am actually fully capable of buying the house myself. But now that I have already latched onto the county magistrate, I might as well go with the flow and find a place to stay.

Upon arriving at the tent, Jin Danian addressed Lin Zheng at the table, saying, "My lord, I have brought these two men with me."

Lin Zheng looked up and smiled at the two people opposite him, "This time, Wale was willing to withdraw its troops voluntarily, thanks to you both. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do. Now, His Highness the Crown Prince is assuming the responsibility of overseeing the country..."

I was fortunate enough to become a local official, and I thought that it was important to lead everyone to restore people's livelihoods.

Therefore, seeing that Miss Qin has performed exceptionally well in all aspects, I would like to ask if there is any way to lead the nearby displaced people to rebuild this county town?”

Qin Shuangshuang rubbed her fingers together. "There are already many refugees in the area, both on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. Countless of them are on the verge of starvation. Now, we can only lead everyone to find a way to ensure that everyone has something to eat before we can restore people's livelihoods."

Listening to Qin Shuangshuang speak so readily, Lu Jun knew she was quite intelligent. He added, "What Miss Qin says is indeed reasonable, but I also think that reclaiming wasteland is very important. Only after they recover their strength can we lead them to reclaim wasteland and cultivate enough of the nearby land."

While reclaiming wasteland, they also rebuilt those abandoned houses, believing that it wouldn't be long before everyone would have a home.

Qin Shuangshuang smiled faintly, her arms crossed over her chest. She now possessed a treasure trove of riches, though others were unaware of it.

Only after the county town recovered its vitality was she able to start her own business. Unexpectedly, one of her generation of food bloggers could become a successful businesswoman.

Lu Jun noticed that Qin Shuangshuang's hand hadn't fallen, so he said to her, "It seems you're confident and have the ability to back it up, so I'm relieved."

Qin Shuangshuang was overjoyed and forgot all about home. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I just suddenly realized that everyone has food to eat, so I feel at ease."

However, Lin Zheng, who was sitting in the chair, sighed and said, "It seems that it will be even more difficult to feed everyone now."

The grain sent by the imperial court will take some time to arrive. I need to send several waves of elite troops to protect them soon, otherwise the grain might be looted en route. What would we do then?

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun volunteered, "Sir, I need to go back to the capital in a few days. Please escort the grain that is being sent over along the way."

Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "Why are you going to the capital? Could it be that your family has moved to the capital? Judging from your background..."

Before Qin Shuangshuang could finish speaking, Lu Jun said to her, "I'm going to the capital to take care of some important matters and see if I can prove myself. My family doesn't have high hopes for me, and I have to fight for the inheritance with my good-for-nothing brother. I need to make some friends in the capital so that I won't be left without support in the future."

Upon hearing his intention, Qin Shuangshuang believed him again, "Don't worry, I'll give you some travel expenses when the time comes. Go to the capital and inquire about potential business opportunities. We can do business together then."

Lu Jun hadn't expected that the woman was willing to help him, so his purpose in going there wasn't that. But the fact that she was thinking of helping him made him very gratified.

However, Qin Shuangshuang quickly thought of something else, "Sir, but that yamen has already been occupied. Even if you go to take up your post, you probably won't have a place to go."

At this moment, Lin Zheng asked curiously and with a surprised look, "The county government office is a public place, how come someone else is able to occupy it?"

Qin Shuangshuang then said, "A round-faced man told me that it was the place where his deceased brother had died."

According to my people, he had already produced the deed, and that's when I knew it was his brother's property.

At this moment, Lin Zheng laughed and said, "That's absolutely impossible. The county government belongs to the imperial court. Even if the place is privately owned, it has already been bought by the government. No one can take it away from it."

Qin Shuangshuang found it hard to believe. Wouldn't that mean she could finally teach that eldest son's arrogant face a lesson?
