As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 691 You Shaorong

The officers and soldiers who were maintaining order on both sides of the avenue were swept away by the surging crowd.

If the enemy is not bad, we can just draw our swords, but these are all our fellow villagers. Suling County is not big, and sometimes we can see a few acquaintances unexpectedly.

In fact, enthusiastic people sometimes sent gifts to the lord's mansion, but later Jiang Ran ordered them to be rejected.

However, this time the people were too enthusiastic. Some of them directly hung the things on the hands of the officers and soldiers, and ran away without waiting for the officers and soldiers to say anything.

The officers and soldiers were at a loss. It was not right to throw it away, nor was it right to keep it...

Seeing this scene, Li Fusheng smiled with his hands in his pockets, walked to Cuilong, and said to Jiang Ran, "The county lady is diligent and hardworking, helping the world and the people, and the people have seen it with their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. Knowing that the county lady is coming back today, the whole city is celebrating. Everyone has prepared these things for a long time. Why don't the county lady accept these things this time, and everyone will be happy."

What Li Fusheng didn’t tell Jiang Ran was that the people of Suling have never felt safe.

It’s not that they are afraid that other territories will invade them, but they are afraid that Jiang Ran will not want to be the lord one day.

Like other lords, his first choice is to exploit his own people for the sake of his own status and luxurious life.

As for Jiang Ran, since he came to power, he has distributed land to farmers and reduced taxes. Those who don't farm can go fishing, or try every possible way to make some money outside.

There are many roads for the people of Suling to choose from, and these are the roads that Jiang Ran personally opened up.

It is because they have experienced the days when they could not afford food, clothes or were discriminated against by others that the people in the city cherish the present time and love the current lord even more.

But the problem is that their great lord is too mysterious and grows too fast. He runs away whenever he has time. Even though there is a teleportation array that can allow him to come back at any time, some spies who want to stir up chaos and undermine unity in the territory are spreading rumors among the people.

At first, they said:
"The Lord of Suling County is arrogant and cold, and has offended the counties of Zeyan, Zhuoli, and others. He has made too many enemies for the territory. If this continues, the territory will be destroyed sooner or later!"

"The ocean is so dangerous, but Lord Jiang forced the people to go out to sea. It is said that some boatmen were swallowed alive by sea monsters. Such people are not worthy of our following!"

"She's not in the territory all day long. She's just afraid of death and wants to avoid responsibility!"

But the people of Suling simply did not listen to such slander, and even beat up the perpetrators who insulted the county lord.

"As a new county-level territory, if you are not strong, we will be the ones who are bullied. Zeyan County deliberately raised the price of salt so that we can't afford it, and Zhuoli County was eyeing us covetously and sent troops to try to seize Xinheng Town. It was the county lord who taught us how to make salt and drove away Zhuoli's army alone. It was not easy to hold us back, but you turned around and made us work like dogs for them!!!"

"Will you encounter ferocious beasts when you go hunting in the mountains? It's so chaotic outside, and you may encounter robbers when you go out to trade. Even if you farm peacefully, you are at risk of dying of exhaustion. What's more, if you go to other places, you may not have land to farm! Go to sea, get food and wealth, at least because of going to sea, no one in my family will starve to death, and I can wear nice clothes and buy beautiful accessories. Coward! If you can't go out to sea because of your words, I will beat you to death!!!"

They found that such slanderous words against Suling and Jiang Ran would only make Suling County angry and more united, so they changed their words:
"The county lord actually doesn't need us at all. She might abandon the territory one day." "Do you know Mingxiao City? It is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire continent. It is also a place that countless cultivators yearn for. It gathers countless geniuses. But in such a city, our county lord's cultivation talent is rare in a thousand years!"

"Countless forces want to recruit our county lady, promising her endless wealth. Because of her stunning beauty, some people are willing to give up a city to marry her..."

"In fact, if the county lady doesn't care about us, maybe we can live a better life..."

"One day, the county lady will regard us as a burden and abandon us!"

Such a fact made the people silent, and a sense of uneasiness spread. Looking at the lords of other territories who demanded from the people, some immature and radical Suling people even thought: Your lord is so ordinary and so confident, he must be inseparable from you...

Jiang Ran was unaware of Su Ling's brainwashed thoughts. She turned her head to look at the sincere people on both sides of the road. Li Fusheng was still persuading her to accept the people's kindness. She looked at the officers and soldiers with things hanging all over their bodies and nodded helplessly, "Don't accept the people's things next time."

That means he is willing to accept it this time. Li Fusheng was delighted. "Of course it is. Don't worry, County Lady."

After Jiang Ran spoke, Li Fusheng ordered the soldiers to put the things on the last two empty carriages. Soon they were full, even the roofs were filled.

The scene was a little chaotic for a moment. A little girl with two buns on her hair was squeezed to the ground, with something protecting her chest.

"Ah!" Suddenly, the girl was hit in the face by an adult's butt. She was about to fall down. Jiang Ran moved slightly, and a gust of wind like silk lifted up the girl's body.

The little girl closed her eyes tightly and her body flew up like a butterfly. She was a little scared, but soon, the sweet smell and warm touch made her open her eyes.

"It's my sister, the county lady~" The little girl couldn't even speak clearly, her big moist eyes seemed to reflect the stars, pure and brilliant, "Give me flowers~~"

Jiang Ran hugged her and looked at the flower in the little girl's hand. The pure pink petals were wrapped layer by layer, with bright colors and fragrant fragrance. Jiang Ran's mouth corners slightly raised, "Where did this flower come from? What's your name?"

"Niuniu raised it~~"

Niu Niu is still young and can only remember the first sentence for a short time.

Niu Niu looked like she really wanted Jiang Ran to accept the flowers she grew. She opened her big eyes expectantly and anxiously, and stretched her little hand towards Jiang Ran again.

Li Fusheng broke out in a cold sweat for this little guy. That little hand almost hit the county lady's eyes.

Jiang Ran's eyes were gentle as she rubbed Niuniu's little head. She held the child's back with one hand and took the flower with the other. She said to Niuniu, "It's called You Shaorong, a lucky flower."

Jiang Ran found it funny. She encouraged the people to plant and asked Li Yiniu and the demon spirit master to ask the farmers to plant the land. Although the harvest was indeed much better than before, she still had never heard of any family growing demon spirits. But she didn't expect that today a little girl gave her the flowers she grew, and there was a demon spirit insect hidden inside.
