As a lord, I was forced to farm

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ran took off the curtain hat.

"County, County Lord?!" The boy who was reading, Qiu Zizheng, was shocked when he saw Jiang Ran's face.

Of course he knew Jiang Ran.

After all, he is a student of Suhong College. Jiang Ran has visited Suhong many times for inspections. Qiu Zi doesn't know his father and he has to know the county lord.

Qiu Zi was excited and nervous, and the book he was holding fell to the ground.

However, the sound attracted Qiu Zizheng's attention. It happened that the words "My Domineering Lady" were right above the page. The boy's body was shaken, and he hurriedly picked up the book and hid it behind his back.

"You, you, if you are looking for me, my mother is not here now." I don't know why, Qiu Zizheng felt a little guilty and very embarrassed. He stuttered for a while before finding the normal order of words, "Mother, go to Zhenyuan. Zhen went to buy fresh milk."

In the whole county, only dairy cows were raised on the Xisong Plain. Jiang Ran remembered that at the beginning, she purchased three pink cows and six ordinary cows from Mingxiao, including two male cows.

The grass in Xisong Plain is indeed delicious. One year has passed and the cows in the pasture have begun to multiply, giving birth to one pink bush cow calf (male) and three ordinary cow calves (one male and two female).

But now there are more than 20 cows in the pasture, because the territory has successively purchased cows from Mingxiao - after all, the teleportation array is opened every day to sell a large amount of seafood to Mingxiao, and the teleportation array is opened every day. One time is two hundred spiritual crystals, which is a lot of consumption.

In this case, Jiang Ran will also purchase a large amount of materials from Tian Mingxiao - sugar, cotton, livestock, spiritual grass, magic weapons, etc. These materials will be sent to all parts of the county and even sold to foreign countries. City people make money.

This is why Jiang Ran arrogantly detains non-local prisoners, while the lords of other territories only make loud thunders and light raindrops. They seem to be furious, but they do nothing. Instead, the caravan heads to Suling County. The more I travel, the more diligent I am, and I still have to do business with them, because there are so many products that can only be purchased here in Suling County.

Back to the topic, Zhenyuan Town is quite far away from Suling County, and it takes two or three hours to take a carriage. Here at Gaojinju, we set out every evening to purchase the freshest cows from Xisong Ranch, and then go to the kitchen to sterilize the milk, adding such things as Eggs, sugar, vinegar and other materials are used to process milk into cream, butter and other dairy products, which are used to make cakes and so on.

Qiu Zizheng said that Miao Fengli didn't go to the ranch every day. She usually sent someone to buy milk. It was no coincidence that this time, when Jiang Ran came to see her, Miao Fengli happened to go to the raw material field to inspect.

"My mother may not be back until very late." Qiu Zizheng said quickly, "But there is anything I can tell you."

"Then ask your mother to go to the Lord's Mansion to find me when she is free."

Qiu Zizheng nodded obediently, "Okay~"

Jiang Ran asked again, "Where did you get the book you are reading?"

Qiu Zizheng looked awkward and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Back to the county master, I bought it from Jinxiu Bookstore..."

Jinxiu Bookstore, or Jinxiu Library, is the first and currently largest library established by Jiang Ran when he came to power.

As long as the people of Suling are registered in the household registration, they can read books for free with their household registration. When Hu Lian was able to recognize a large number of fish in the sea such as yellow croaker, he learned it on his own at Jinxiu Bookstore.

Jinxiu Bookstore is a public welfare library, but in order to maintain normal operations, it will of course also do some buying and selling of paper, pens, and books. I am afraid that this book "My Overbearing Queen" is printed and distributed by a certain scholar's novel.

However, Jiang Ran did not expect that she did not pay much attention to Jinxiu Library, but this bookstore gave her a big surprise.

It just so happens that Jinxiu Bookstore is not far from Jiaojinju, so let’s go shopping later. At the moment, Yunrong is happily selecting pastries, and the waiter is introducing her to various pastries in the store with a smile on his face, "Look at this lotus cake, is it lifelike, just like a real lotus! Our master has spent a lot of time." It is made with great care and the materials used are also excellent. The pink petals of this lotus cake are made from red crystal flour and white flour..."

Although Yunrong didn't understand, he listened with great interest.

There are many exquisite pastries in the store. Chinese pastries such as: rice cakes, animal-shaped jade cakes, osmanthus cakes... Western pastries such as: milk biscuits dyed with chocolate powder, egg tarts, butter bread...

After packing a lot of delicious food, Jiang Ran and others stopped by Jinxiu Bookstore.

Although the Jinxiu Library Pavilion is built in a busy city, the pavilion seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle. As night falls, the shadow of the waning moon reaches the window, outlining the shadow of the people in the attic reading silently with their heads bowed.

Perhaps due to the influence of the environment here, Jiang Ran and his party walked more slowly.

There were many precious books in the pavilion. Several of the people guarding the library were cultivators. An elder in plain robes who recognized Jiang Ran quickly stood up to greet her.

Jiang Ran said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just taking a look."

"Yes."

The Jinxiu Library has only two floors. The first floor contains mostly miscellaneous books. There is a vast sea of ​​books, but there are actually not many types of books in the Jinxiu Library. Jiang Ran quickly found the novel Qiu Ziz was reading from one of the bookshelves.

In the past three years, Suling County's papermaking technology has improved a lot. The raw materials are not only limited to bamboo, but also use lower-cost reeds to make paper.

However, these papers were still much inferior to modern papers. Jiang Ran rubbed the rough and yellowish cover with her fingers, then turned over the pages and took a few glances.

But as I looked at it, I felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu - maybe it was her illusion or maybe she was narcissistic. The prototype of this so-called domineering female queen was not her, right?

This lady's name is "Ran", which makes her look right on her face.

Jiang Ran raised her head and looked at the old man in plain robes. The old man also saw clearly the book the former was holding. He had obviously read this book and felt quite uncomfortable thinking of something.

The old man's reaction reminded him of Qiu Zizheng's similar embarrassment. Jiang Ran let out a light hum from his nose. The old man didn't know what it meant, but he just broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Ran quickly flipped through the book, reading ten lines at a glance. This book is only the first volume. The story is not finished yet. The author may have the intention to write a sequel.

The name of this novel is very tacky. When Jiang Ran read the title, she originally thought it was just a story about a poor boy falling in love with a female queen, but it must be said that this scholar just tricked the readers into killing him.

In fact, this writer described an unprecedented troubled time. The protagonist Baili Zhui was a poor orphan refugee. When he was thirteen years old, he encountered a group of vicious thieves. At the critical moment, a town-level female lord named Jiang who visited incognito Zhiran rescued him.

Jiang Zhiran has the ambition to calm the people of the world, stabilize the troubled times in the world, and unify the world. Baili Zhui, who has been homeless since childhood and lives an ignoble life, is attracted by the female town leader who is wanton and flamboyant and behaves like a noblewoman. In order to establish " "Ideal City", he resolutely joined her army, starting from the lowest level of a soldier, getting the opportunity to become a monk, working hard in the army, going through several wars, and achieving military exploits...

In fact, the so-called female queen Jiang Zhiran does not have many scenes in the first volume. She is like Ming Yue, who is highly regarded and cannot and dare not be blasphemed. The protagonist's feelings towards Jiang Zhiran are also very complicated, including gratitude, admiration, inferiority,... Desire, fear...

After Jiang Ran read it, she couldn't help but ask the elder in plain robes, "Is this book easy to sell?"
