Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 229 Chapter 229
Hurry up and hurry up, and finally completed this task at the end of June.

Things went well, Mu Yu was very happy, now she can really breathe.

Although there are still many things to be busy in the future, such as harvesting grain, sowing the new season, and establishing the city lord, etc., she is not the main body, and Wu Zhen should have a headache.

A few days later, people from Taoyuan Village came and brought a letter from the former city lord's wife, Wang Shujun. As she and Wu Zhen had expected, they were resolutely rejected.

Wang Shujun doesn't want to be the city lord, and neither does her daughter.

She wrote in the letter, let Wuzhen be the city owner himself, just treat them as if they don't exist, they will never appear again in the future, they will just spend the rest of their lives in Taoyuan Village, let him not write any more letters back, and she will not Will not take any more letters.

Wang's disgust and irritability can be seen between the lines in Mu Yu's words. It is really too much for such a dignified and gentle person to be forced to be like this.

She sighed and asked someone to hand over the letter to Wu Zhen. She would never do this kind of thing again.

Wu Zhen received the letter, but there was no response, and she didn't care.

Taoyuan Village sent [-] students, and this number is more or less. She is sure that these people who are literate, arithmetic and know certain rules will soon occupy a place in the Huangsha City government office and become one of them. leader.

With them here, she can rest assured a lot.

Then there are [-] craftsmen and doctors from Yuanshan Town. At first, no one would come to Huangsha City, but Yang Erlang used the reputation of Taoyuan Grain Shop as a guarantee, plus extremely high wages. , Only then did twenty people come together to send them over.

These people will come to help gradually restore Huangsha City to normal operation, a little more normal than it is now.

In the next few days, she lived very comfortably and leisurely. In Huangsha City, she rarely had such a leisurely time.

In July, the grain planted in the spring was harvested. With the seeds she provided, the results of this harvest were very impressive. People who were originally unwilling to be transferred to do the hard work of harvesting forgot to see such a good harvest complain.

She is familiar with the next development, because she has seen it more than once in Taoyuan Village and Yuanshan Town.

She also knew that the time to make reforms or make big announcements was right after the harvest had just arrived and a new round of planting had been planted.

Perhaps, Wu Zhen planned to announce the city lord at that time.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.

It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it at all. Once the city lord has made a decision and issued a series of civil security orders, and all the foundations are laid, the door has to be opened for business. As for the business aspect of Huangsha City, Wu Zhen agreed to hand it over to her.

Once the city lord is settled, she can prepare to open the door for business.

The time came to July and a half, and she couldn't sit still after being idle for almost half a month. Wu Zhen still didn't announce the city lord's affairs, and there wasn't even a hint of preparation. It was true that she couldn't sit still.

Could it be that Wu Zhen intends to leave the position of city lord empty?
This is not a good thing.

Before she couldn't sit still and wanted to talk to Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen came to find her first, and threw a bomb on her at the beginning, which caught her by surprise.

"I've thought about it for a long time, the city owner should be a girl."

Mu Yu was stunned.

For a long time, she felt that Wu Zhen's various behaviors were an ancient routine. The person who was promoted must refuse repeatedly, and then the others insisted repeatedly, so that in the future, there will be no reason to talk about it, and it will be good-looking.

Especially with the mother and daughter of the Wang family still alive, the position in Wuzhen is somewhat unruly. Even if the mother and daughter of the Wang family really don't want to be in this position, the enemies of Wuzhen will not care about it in the future, nor will the people in the future.

She felt that Wu Zhen did this to avoid future troubles. Of course, based on her understanding of Wu Zhen later, she felt that Wu Zhen was too foolish and loyal.

But now, when Wu Zhen said that she would be the city lord, she was really shocked.

Going back and forth between Wu Zhen wanting to kill her and Wu Zhen really not loving power, he couldn't come up with the most reasonable explanation in the end.

"General Wu, stop joking with me..."

"Ms. Mu, I'm not joking. I've thought about this for a long time, and finally made a decision today. I'm serious."

Mu Yu had already seen from his serious face that he was serious, but she still couldn't believe that someone would give up the power she had.

"why?"

"I'm not the material to be a city lord, and I can't do it even if I force it.

Except for the first time to win over people to fight, I worked very hard at other times. I couldn't get food, and I couldn't get everything back on track. I would only use the simplest method to maintain the superficial calm.

But Miss Mu, you can do all these things, and you can do it very well, even better than what the previous city lord did. You will be the kind of good city lord that the people hope for.

The most important thing is that I trust Miss Mu's character, and I would worry about giving up the city lord to anyone else, except Miss Mu.

Moreover, there is no one more suitable than the wooden girl. "

After speaking, the two fell into silence again.

Mu Yu believed what he said was true, but he didn't dare to believe it completely.

"General Wu, if you say you are afraid of me, I can leave, there is no need to play such a game..."

Her words were interrupted by Wu Zhen, who saw Wu Zhen knelt on one knee and said sincerely, "Girl, I really think so, please give the people of Huangsha City a way to live, and Wu Zhen and Wu Zhen's brothers. Live!"

Wu Zhen knelt down and refused to get up, Mu Yu finally compromised and asked Wu Zhen to give her a few more days to think about it.

She really didn't dare to agree to such a thing easily.

The thoughts of Wu Zhen, the thoughts of Wu Zhen's confidants, the thoughts of other people in Huangsha City, the thoughts of various forces outside Huangsha City, the thoughts of the Southern Qi court...

All of these must be taken into consideration, and if you are a little careless, you will be doomed.

To, or, not to?
This choice is difficult to make.

……

What prompted her to make a choice was a letter from Jinzhou that she received a few days later.

The letter was written by Wen Wang. In the letter, he wrote about some of his insights and gains in the process of learning to manage the business with Zheng Chengyuandang and the others in Jinzhou. He wrote about the business situation in Jinzhou and some of his own thoughts. After asking her about the situation here, he heard some news about Huangsha City over there.

There was a sentence in the letter that she had said to Wen Wang, and now Wen Wang said it to her.

If there must be one person to succeed, why can't that person be me?

To the effect.

If there must be one person to be the castellan, why can't it be her?

As Wu Zhen said, there really is no one more suitable than her, isn't there?

After much thought, discussion, and preparation, she approached Wu Zhen and agreed to Wu Zhen's request.

She will become the next city lord of Huangsha City.
