Chapter 539

Micheng is the city where Wang Chong is located.

In the past, it was only a small city. With Wang Zhong's participation in governance, the living standards of nearby residents have risen. Coupled with trade with some surrounding cities, Micheng has quickly become a medium-sized city from a small city.

All this was accomplished in just five years.

Five years later, although Lu Bai was old and strong, he could feel that he was working harder and harder, so he intended to pass the position of city Lord to his son Lu Niucheng.

In this regard, Wang Zhong felt nothing.

Because on weekdays, Lu Niucheng is very convinced by him now. He listens to his words most and makes Lu Niucheng the city master. In fact, he is just a puppet. Who doesn't know that it is his king who is really in charge of the city of rice?

"My husband, I really wronged you. In fact, with your ability, you are fully qualified for the position of city Lord. Unfortunately, my father must pass it on to my brother."

In the evening, Lu Shang said with some guilt.

"Xiao Shang, don't say so. I'm not interested in the position of city Lord. Let Niu Cheng be the pawn. However, if he dares to fool around in the future, he must know how powerful he is." Wang Zhong said faintly.

"Hey..."

Lu Shang sighed, why didn't she hope that Wang Chong could become the city master? However, there are some things that can't have the best of both worlds, such as family and husband.

"By the way, have you heard that the state of Haiti has harassed US again. During this period, many refugees came to the city." Suxiaolan, who had already been lying in bed, said.

Wang nodded emphatically. Haiti is a small country overseas. Because it is located on a small piece of land overseas, they call themselves Haiti.

Originally, no one cared about this small country at all, but somehow, this country has been harassing some villages and towns along the coast in recent years, making people miserable.

This year, things got worse. A village killed many Haitian soldiers because of its resistance to the Haitian state.

Three days later, Haitian soldiers besieged the village and killed all the villagers.

The news spread that the residents of nearby villages and towns were very afraid. In order to avoid being harassed again, many people took their belongings away from home.

"This hateful country of Haiti has killed many people." Lu Shang was also gnashing his teeth with anger.

"I heard that Haicheng has strengthened its vigilance. Haicheng is not too far away from us, so we have to be careful."

Wang Chong thought in his heart that in the past five years, with some silver, he has vigorously developed muskets and cannons, but it is too late, and the number is not much.

If Haiti harasses them at this time, it will be very troublesome.

After all, the foundation of rice city is not too thick, the city wall is too low, and there are villagers around. If you really disturb it, it will affect the grain planting this year!

"They can't succeed!"

Wang Chong thought in his heart.

"Husband, you are so tired these days. I'll pinch your shoulders."

Suxiaolan saw that Wang Chong was so tired, so she pinched Wang Chong's shoulder thoughtfully.

"Well, thank you, madam." Wang Zhong secretly said that Su Xiaolan was considerate.

"I'll beat your legs." Lu Shang also said wisely.

"No, madam, if you are tired, have a rest early."

"We don't have you tired. It's worth it if we can use our little tiredness to make your husband work less." Lu Shang said.

That's too sweet.

"Yes, sister Xiao Shang is right." Su Xiaolan agreed.

Wang Chong's heart is warm. If he has a wife, what can he ask for.

"Hey, little clothes, your belly is new." Wang Chong suddenly found a bright spot.

"Yes, how about it?"

"Not bad."

"I also bought one." Suxiaolan also said.

"Yes, yes, it's silk, isn't it?"

The three people chatted, and Wang Chong felt a little sigh in his heart. If only the days were so flat and light every day, this dog day Haitian country hoped that it would not come to trouble, otherwise, it would make him look good.

…………………………

The next day, when Wang Chong came to the city hall, LV Bai and his brother-in-law LV Niucheng had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother in law."

LV Niucheng privately respected Wang Zhong and called him his brother-in-law: "there are more and more refugees from Haicheng in front, which puts a lot of pressure on us in Micheng. There have been several burglary cases. Now people don't want outsiders to enter the city."

"Cough, cough..."

Lu Bai on the first seat coughed a few times and sighed, "my original idea was to close the city, but there are so many people outside that it is impossible to do so. What I am most worried about now is that Haicheng can't stand it. If Haitians hit us, it will be in trouble."

"Yes, the garrison in our city is used for public security, so the number is not large. After all, since ancient times, we have never encountered overseas threats. What should we do if we are in trouble?"

Lu Niucheng said anxiously. He was one of those people who didn't have much decision-making ability. When encountering problems, the first thing he thought of was not to solve them, but to ask, 'what should I do?'

LV Bai is courageous, but when he is old, he is not as decisive as before. After hesitating for a while, he said, "why don't I send troops to the front to support Haicheng?"

Lu Bai's thinking is reasonable.

Haicheng and this side recently, if Haicheng has big trouble, their rice city must be the next target, which is very troublesome!

After Lu Bai finished, Chao Wang Zhong asked, "Su San, what do you think?"

For so many years, Wang Chong's management of rice city, up and down, Lu Bai, was seen in the eye, so he trusted Wang Chong very much. He felt that Wang Chong must have a good idea.

"There are not many soldiers in our city. If we send them out to support Haicheng, there will be fewer defenders in the city."

Wang Zhong raised a key point, which Lu Bai was worried about.

"But the Lord of Haicheng has sent someone to help us." Lu Bai coughed again and continued, "as the saying goes, the lips die and the teeth are cold. If they are in trouble, our side will suffer."

"Yes, I suggest going to the rescue. Anyway, if we want to fight, we should fight Haicheng first. We don't have to worry about anything for the time being after Micheng." Lu Niucheng said.

"No." Wang Zhong still shook his head: "during this period, there were many refugees in the city, causing public security chaos. We need many people to deal with it, otherwise it's not good to make a big mess. Moreover, there are so many refugees, but there are people from the state of Haiti in it

"What, Haitians among refugees?"

Hearing the news, Lu Bai and his son were stunned.

"If I were the leader of the state of Haiti, I would certainly do so. After all, over the years, the richness of our city has already surpassed them. How much can we gain from robbing Haicheng? But if we rob here, the harvest is several times!"

"According to your meaning, don't help Haicheng?" Lu Bai asked.

"Help is still needed, but we only provide some equipment such as bows and arrows, and immediately notify the court to send troops to reinforce Haicheng!" Wang Zhong analyzed and said.

"Well, then, do as Su San says."

LV Baisi thought about it and thought that what Wang Zhong said was reasonable.

They don't have many soldiers in Micheng. If they really reinforce in the past, it will be very troublesome in case of any trouble here.

While they were discussing, suwanhai, the mayor of Haicheng, was discussing with a group of people in the secret room in the mansion of the mayor of Haicheng.

"I have sent people to Micheng to ask for support. I think that LV Bai will send people to Micheng. At that time, the people of your country of Haiti will coordinate with the people inside, attack the silver treasury of Micheng's master's house at one stroke, and take all the gold there."

It was suwanhai, the Lord of Haicheng, who spoke.

No one expected that the big man on the side of the guard would collude with the people of Haiti to prepare to loot Micheng.

Their plan is very perfect. Once Micheng sends people to rescue, the number of soldiers in Micheng must be reduced. At that time, the success rate of uniting Haitian soldiers in Micheng is really great.

The messenger from the Haitian side arched his hands and said, "that guy LV Bai is a thief. Will he not send someone to help?"

"Hahaha, don't worry. The old man is old. He must think you will deal with me first, so he must send troops here. I'm afraid the only variable is his son-in-law

Su Wanhai narrowed his eyes and couldn't help thinking of the information about Wang Zhong.

Eyeliner, who was placed next to Lu Bai, reported that Su San was very smart and managed the rice city where the people were struggling in an orderly manner. It was said that he would also see where there was water, so now there are basically wells in every household.

Not to mention, he also invented farming tools for farming, so the rice city has had a bumper harvest in recent years.

He also opened up foreign trade and exported rice and agricultural tools. It is said that now he has invented a cloth dyeing workshop to make cloth.

Originally, the fabric of Micheng was imported from the outside city. Now it's ready, and it's about to become an export.

A small rice city, both in economy and population, has surpassed Haicheng, which makes him jealous.

Because the residents of Haicheng are saying that the life in Micheng is good, and it is easy to find work in Micheng. It is said that as long as you enter a place called 'factory' in Micheng, everyone has work to do. After doing it, you can get wages every month, including food and accommodation, and the welfare is very good.

"Isn't the name of Lu's son-in-law Su San? This guy heard that he was very powerful and invented many strange things. By the way, the fried gold he invented was delicious." The ambassador of the state of Haiti spoke highly of it.

"What's fried gold? It's just fried insects. I feel sick when I look at it!" Su Wanhai secretly scolded Haiti as a small country. Do you still think those junk food are delicious?

If he didn't want to cooperate with them now, he wouldn't want to talk to these people.

"What Lord Su said is."

Seeing Su Wanhai's unhappy face, the envoy quickly echoed and continued, "let's get ready these days. I'll live in the old place now. If the Lord of Su has anything to say, just send someone to call me and wait."

"Well."

A group of people were chatting, when the soldiers outside came to report.

Su Wanhai came out of the chamber of secrets, and the soldiers reported, "the Micheng reinforcement team has arrived."

"How many people have come?"

"Twenty."

"Twenty?"

Suwanhai's eyes stared: "isn't this LV Bai playing with me? What's the use of twenty?"
