As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 213
"Our lord..."

The army atmosphere in Suling Town was not very good before. Except for the fact that the patrol team led by Tian Jing had to fight with monsters from outside, other soldiers, especially ordinary soldiers, had nothing to do, and they couldn't even train daily.

But now, with rich subsidies, rewards, glory and the threat of expulsion of the team if they fail the assessment, everyone is trying their best, and they can't wait for a real battlefield in the next second for them to charge and kill the enemy!
The army's assessment was over, and the hot summer sun and the chirping of cicadas in the woods had faded by the end of August. Although it was still hot, the weather was obviously much cooler.

Jiang Xiaowen and Jiang Nancheng are two young men who are getting taller. It just so happens that the weaving workshop sent some excellent silk satin cloth. Jiang Ran asked Butler Li to find Yan Xiu, the best embroiderer in town, to make for them Several sets of clothes.

This was also the first time that the two brothers and sisters wore such good clothes, and they were as happy as a festival, making the Lord's Mansion lively for a while.

Afterwards, Li Tianliang saw the preciousness of these silk cloths, and asked Jiang Ran if he could spare a few for him to sell.

However, Jiang Ran didn't have many of them in his hand, and Jiang Ran preferred to sell the silk woven from the precious silver crystal magic silk at Mingxiao Academy.

But when the production of silk increases, Jiang Ran doesn't mind letting Li Tianliang go to trade.

September is approaching, and Jiang Nancheng is going to Mingxiao College.

Although Jiang Ran is busy with affairs, but as an elder sister, it is the first time for her younger brother to go abroad, so of course she has to send her there in person.

What's more, Jiang Ran's image of Mingxiao Academy is limited to other people's mouths. How is Mingxiao Academy, if you don't go to see it yourself, how will you know whether the reputation of this academy is worthy of its name, or is it just hearsay?

But before that, Jiang Ran still has some important things to deal with.

Right now, it was the court meeting again, and all the people with official positions in the town gathered together.

Yang Guiying was wearing a purple official uniform, people depend on clothes, his not-so-excellent appearance was decorated with exquisite clothes, but he had a bit of an extraordinary temperament, but there was a bit of bitterness on his face, otherwise he would be a suave and good man.

I saw Yang Guiying took two steps forward, cupped her hands and said, "My lord, the academy has been built, monks and mentors are still recruiting, people are signing up one after another, and my subordinates are still screening... But my lord, the academy has been built by itself and has not yet been named. , it will be school day soon, you see..."

After the college was built, she had visited it. The college was located on the coast of Suyuan, far away from the shipbuilding workshop, and adjacent to the South Crown Secret Realm. Although the college is small in size, it has all the internal organs.

Moreover, the craftsmen did not dare to slack off. The architectural facilities built are not only exquisite, but also ingenious and not out of style.

The college also relies on the precious land of South Crown Secret Realm, so Jiang Ran is looking forward to this small school.

As for the name...it's better to be grand and linked to Suling Town, and then the academy's reputation will be spread, so that people outside can remember the word "Suling".

Jiang Ran was silent, thinking for a moment in her mind, "Su Hong, how about calling it Su Hong College?"

Needless to say, the place is the place of Suling and the place of homecoming.

The original meaning of the character Hong is deep and reverberating, and the extended meaning is to carry forward, broad, and lofty. Isn't it suitable for the name of the college?
The officials in the field silently read the word "Su Hong", and found it catchy and majestic, and immediately felt good. Lin Sha, who is exquisite in seven orifices, immediately praised, "It's wonderful! Hongliang Dadong returns to Wangsu! As expected of the lord!"

Qiu Baishui rolled his eyes secretly, thinking contemptuously that no one can catch up with Lin Sha's flattering speed.

So he restrained the usual arrogance on his face, tinged it with flattery, and smiled without hesitation, "Sustaining all rivers, accepting brave people, the lord is a great talent!"

Lin Sha: "..."

Lin Sha and Qiu Baishui seemed to have opened their mouths, and the praises came in a steady stream. Jiang Ran was quite ashamed when she heard her fingers rubbing her forehead.

I don't know when it started, but whatever she said or did, a bunch of people came forward to flatter her.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran was not the type to be impetuous and arrogant. She frowned, and as she raised her hand, the restlessness was quickly suppressed.

"General Tian, ​​Lin Qing's family." Jiang Ran flipped through a note, called out Tian Jing and Lin Sha, and then raised her eyes and said, "The military assessment is over, but some problems have also been exposed."

"Usually neglecting training, there are soldiers who have a big belly and can't lift their hands?"

"The logistics can't keep up, and there are no auxiliary soldiers to treat and bandage the wounded soldiers."

Jiang Ran was stunned at the time, so she quickly sent Dr. Wang and his disciples to serve as temporary medical soldiers.

"Compared to other town-level territories, our military force in Suling Town is weak, with only more than 700 soldiers."

He came here like this before, and Tian didn't think there was anything wrong, but he blushed when he heard Jiang Ran complaining for a while, feeling a little embarrassed for the old man who passed away.

From this point of view, compared to the little lord, Jiang Fucheng really doesn't have the slightest ability to manage the territory...

Sighing under the ashamed faces of everyone, Jiang Ran asked, "When was the last time Suling Town recruited troops?"

Tian Jing didn't care about this aspect, but Bilinsha remembered it clearly, and immediately replied: "Back to the lord, it was about two years ago."

"Then, how many soldiers are there in Xinheng Town?"

Tian couldn't help scratching his head, and immediately felt the gap, "Yang Hao is a warlike warrior, and recruits a lot of soldiers every year. The number of soldiers is estimated to be tens of thousands."

Lin Sha laughed and said, "Xinheng Town has a population of [-], but soldiers account for a quarter of the population, and the rest are basically old and weak women and children."

Jiang Ran was silent for a while, Yang Hao is still very capable. He has been in power for 15 years, and Xinheng Town has annexed eight surrounding township-level territories and one town-level territory in these 15 years.

Excluding the ocean, the current Xinheng Town is as big as eight Suling Towns.

It's just that the disadvantages are also obvious. The population of Xinheng Town has always been small. It may be that Yang Hao is also aware of this, so it has been restrained in recent years.

However, it's just a little restrained. The existence of demon spirits has weakened the role of farmers. In Yang Hao's eyes, he doesn't need farmers to farm and build fields for him, so he blindly catches people on the battlefield.

This is where Lin Sha sneered.

Lin Sha was quite afraid that Jiang Ran would follow Yang Hao's example, so he immediately reminded, "My lord, Yang Hao's ability to lead troops is indeed strong, which is worth learning from, but the subordinates think it is not advisable, and the disadvantages have not yet been fully revealed. But there will be turmoil in the long run!"

Jiang Ran knew that she would not be as ruthless as Yang Hao did, but the matter of recruiting troops could not be delayed, "The outside world is not peaceful, so take precautions before it happens, and the army must be built."

"In this way, those who did not meet the standards in the last assessment will be persuaded to leave first."
