Chapter 34 Shen Minghui Appears
After studying the system tasks of this world, Lin Yuxi also took out the Husband Lucky System for a walk.
"Xiao Wang, let me see your system tasks!"
[Okay, host! Now open the task panel for you. ]
As the system finished speaking, a series of system tasks appeared on the screen in front of Lin Yuxi.
[Ding, Task 1, look at the book and think about the lucky partner for one minute, Reward: Calligraphy +]
[Ding, Task 1, drink tea and think about the person who will bring good luck to your husband for one minute, Reward: Temperament +]
[Ding, Mission 1, think about the mission target for one minute while eating, Reward: Constitution +]
……
[Ding, Task 1, write a love poem for the person who will bring good luck to your husband, Reward: Poetry Talent +]
[Ding, Mission 1, prepare a loving lunch for the person who will bring good luck to her husband, Reward: All stats +]
……
[Ding, Task 19, make a purse yourself and give it to the person who will bring good luck to your husband, Reward: 10,000 ounces of silver]
[Ding, Task 20, draw a portrait of the other person, Reward: 10,000 catties of rice] (Note: The reward will be directly given to the lucky partner, and will be settled every morning based on the amount of tasks completed by the host.)
Lin Yuxi looked at the twenty tasks that were refreshed, and then looked at the rewards behind them, and couldn't help but sigh at the generosity of the system. No wonder Gu Qingyun was so awesome in the plot, and he was so modest that he said he was the best talent in the world. Everyone who saw him wanted to punch him.
Damn, just this mission?
With all the data collected every day, even if he is a pig, he will take off!
but……
[Xiao Wang, where is Shen Minghui now? You want to send him food and clothes, but I can't do that!]
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but probe, the original owner didn't dare to choose these tasks that would reward rice, flour, money or silver, for fear of burying Gu Qingyun and scaring him.
But Lin Yuxi dared! She was eager for the two of them to get in touch quickly, and it would be best if they could meet right now!
[Host, don't worry, the system will arrange rewards to appear around the lucky partner! ]
Lin Yuxi looked at the system task of writing a love letter, and joy burst out in her heart. Swipe! Swipe! Swipe! Must swipe! These are just a few tasks. She must give her husband a baptism of the new world!
--split line--
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the county town at the border, coating this weathered city with a layer of light gold. A newly appointed county magistrate is walking on the stone road and entering the county government office.
He was wearing an official uniform and a long sword on his waist, and he walked into the county government office with steady steps. His steps were firm and his eyes were deep, which showed that he was a man who acted decisively and had a good grasp of the situation.
The sunlight filtered through the eaves of the door, casting patches of light on his resolute face, adding a touch of majesty to his overly young appearance.
If Lin Yuxi saw him at a glance, she would be able to recognize him. This was the Shen Minghui she had been longing to see.
At this moment, his eyes swept across the hall of the county government, and all the lower officials held their breath, waiting for his approval. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, as if an invisible string was tightening everyone's nerves.
"Everyone, please take a seat." After an unknown amount of time, Shen Minghui's gentle voice sounded, motioning everyone to take a seat. His tone was not harsh, but it revealed a calm and steady demeanor.
The lower officials sat down one after another, with their heads lowered, as if trying to figure out the new county magistrate's thoughts.
Shen Minghui picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then put it down. He turned his eyes to the county magistrate sitting on the side. He was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to tell of the hardships of the years at the border.
"County Magistrate, tell me about the situation in this county!" Shen Minghui's tone was firm yet gentle.
"Yes, sir!" County Magistrate Li Xiu nodded and began to report the situation in the county in detail.
"Our Feiyun County originally had a registered population of 20,000, but due to wars and foreign looting, there are now only more than 12,000 people. As for land, although the area is vast, most of the land is barren wasteland, and there is very little arable land. ..."
Shen Minghui listened carefully, asking for details from time to time. He frowned slightly. Although he knew that the situation in the border areas was not optimistic, he did not expect it to be so serious.
Shen Minghui pondered for a moment and continued to understand the current situation. "County Lieutenant, please introduce the equipment and combat effectiveness of the defenders!"
Tian Heng, a tall, dark-skinned official, stepped out and said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, the county originally had a thousand soldiers, but due to a lack of food and wages, there are only about 500 soldiers on duty.
Moreover, our equipment is relatively simple, mainly consisting of spears, bows and arrows, and swords. Due to our remote location and lack of supplies, our equipment is updated slowly, and many weapons are already outdated.
In terms of combat effectiveness, although the soldiers have trained hard, due to the long-term shortage of food and equipment... their combat effectiveness has been greatly limited. "
Shen Minghui couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He knew that this situation could not be solved in a short time. He continued to ask: "How are the people's living conditions?"
Chief Clerk Zhao Wenyuan, whose beard was almost ripped off, quickly stood up and answered,
"Reporting to the county magistrate, Feiyun County is located in the border area, with a vast area and sparse population. The land is barren and the people live in poverty. Many families are poorly clothed and hungry, and they struggle day and night for a living.
In addition, foreigners often come to rob, and the people are suffering. In addition, this place is far away from the Central Plains, and transportation is inconvenient, resulting in a shortage of daily necessities. Merchants rarely come here, and even if they come, the prices are expensive, and many people cannot afford it! "
"Then do you have any countermeasures?"
The county lieutenant and other officials looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Shen Minghui saw this and knew that they had no effective countermeasures.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Minghui took a deep breath and said, "The first thing we need to solve is the problem of soldiers' equipment and food. I will try to apply for more funds and materials from above, but we must also find ways to use local materials to improve our self-sufficiency."
Everyone nodded to indicate that this was right, and said, "The county magistrate is absolutely right!" Then what?
Everyone knows that the so-called application to the higher authorities is just verbal talk. If that thing really existed, Feiyun County would not be in its current state.
So what next?
Shen Minghui looked at the expectant expressions of the crowd and his mouth twitched. He just came! He hasn't even sat down yet!
"I will send a pigeon to my classmate and ask him to buy supplies and organize a caravan to go north!"
Everyone was delighted and bowed in unison, "Thank you, sir!"
Shen Minghui showed his first smile of the day. Although the situation was not very good, these subordinates still looked good and their people were trustworthy.
"Mr. Li, issue a notice to encourage the people to open up wasteland and develop farming. Those who have a good harvest will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
"promise!"
"Lieutenant Tian, train the soldiers diligently and strengthen patrols. Our well-being depends on you!"
"I will live up to your expectations!"
……
After this scene, the county government returned to peace. Only Shen Minghui's firm eyes and resolute expression became an eternal memory in everyone's heart.
(System rewards are coming soon, guess what the scene is?)
