Chapter 338 Must inspect with them

"I have met His Royal Highness Seven." Wei Ruo saluted.

Xindao, are you so idle as a warlord? Didnt you say that the Japanese pirates have changed again recently? Why do you still have the leisure time to take care of your side business here, why don't you take good care of your main task?

"Miss Wei has worked hard." Chu Lan said.

"The duty of a civil woman is not to speak of hard work." Wei Ruo replied.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo's pleasing expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes fell on Wei Jinyi, who was dressed as a servant behind Wei Ruo.

For some reason, Chu Lan felt that this attendant gave people an unusual feeling.

"Who is this person behind Miss Wei?" Chu Lan asked.

"This is my family's guards. My eldest brother just had an accident recently. The mansion was afraid that I would be in danger, so they sent two guards to accompany him." Wei Ruo explained.

"I see." Chu Lan looked away from Wei Jinyi.

Then asked Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, what do you think of the current progress?"

"Everything is within the plan. Don't worry, Your Highness, it should be able to keep up with the planting of winter wheat." Wei Ruo replied.

"I trust Miss Wei." Chu Lan smiled and looked at Wei Ruo after speaking.

His gaze made Wei Ruo uncomfortable. She didn't like talking to him very much. Every time she talked to him, she felt tired and always felt that he was digging a hole for herself.

"Miss Wei, do you know why I come here to follow the progress of land reclamation when Japanese pirates may come at any time?" Chu Lan asked Wei Ruo.

"Minutes don't know."

Wei Ruoxin said, who knows you, if you want to say it, you can say it, if you don't say it, you will be dragged down.

"Because the military rations promised by the imperial court have not been delivered yet." Chu Lan said.

Hearing this, Wei Ruocai raised his head and looked at Chu Lan squarely.

Chu Lan couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Miss Wei still cares about the soldiers fighting on the front line."

"Why didn't the military rations arrive as scheduled?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Miss Wei has heard about the situation in various places in the past two years. Disasters continue to occur in various places, and the treasury is now short of food. In addition, refugees are everywhere, and the transportation process has become extremely difficult." Chu Lan explained.

One is the lack of food, and the other is the problem of food transportation.

"But the soldiers should not be without food for a day to protect their homes and the country," Wei Ruo said.

"Does Miss Wei think there is any good way now?" Chu Lan asked Wei Ruo.

"His Royal Highness has promoted the people's daughters. How can the people's daughters know about the problems that the court cannot solve."

"I don't think so. Isn't Miss Wei the one who came up with the idea of working for relief?"

"Relief from work is a long-term solution, but food shortage in the army is a problem that needs to be solved immediately. The two are different." Wei Ruo explained.

"Indeed." Chu Lan turned around and looked at the large area of newly reclaimed land in front of her, "If this land can really grow crops as scheduled, even if it can't solve the urgent need, at least it can give people some hope. "

Wei Ruo didn't answer this, she had an idea in her mind, but she didn't plan to negotiate with Chu Lan about this matter.

Seeing that Wei Ruo was silent, Chu Lan didn't continue to ask her this question, but sent her an invitation: "Miss Wei is here to inspect the progress of land reclamation, I will accompany you."

"The daughters of the people are terrified, Your Highness, I will be fine with my maid and guards, so I don't want to trouble Your Highness anymore, Your Highness is a noble man with a lot of work to do every day, so you shouldn't waste time for the daughters of the people."

"What Miss Wei is doing is for the people of Taizhou Prefecture. It is the most urgent matter right now. How can it be said that it is a waste of time?"

In Wei Ruo's mind, 10,000 mud horses galloped past.

After being scolded, I had to pretend to be very honored and panicked to agree.

"Then I will thank Your Highness."

"Um."

"Where does Miss Wei plan to go now?" Chu Lan asked.

"Walk along the river." Wei Ruo planned to inspect the situation upstream and downstream of the river.

She has the idea of building a reservoir, because the precipitation in Taizhou Prefecture is sufficient, but at the same time it is uneven. When it is dry, it is dry and when it is flooded, it is very unfavorable to the growth of crops and agricultural development.

The construction of reservoirs can effectively regulate and provide better conditions for the growth of crops.

"Okay." Chu Lan agreed, and then led Wei Ruo down the river.

Chu Lan walked in front, Wei Ruo followed.

With Chu Lan by his side, Wei Ruo became cautious.

She tried to keep a distance from Chu Lan, and walked with Wei Jin. At the same time, she also focused her attention on inspecting the progress of land reclamation, ignoring Chu Lan's existence as much as possible.

After walking for a while, the surrounding area became desolate, with weeds and rocks everywhere.

It is close to the river, but because the terrain is complex, there are many hills, and they are all rocky mountains with shallow soil layers, which are not suitable for reclamation.

So Wei Ruo gave up this area first when planning, and then considered planning these hilly areas after the planned part was successfully reclaimed.

"Be careful." Wei Jin also said to Wei Ruo.

They walked on the hills by the river. There was no road under their feet, the gravel was easy to slide, and there was a cliff washed out by the river on one side.

"Yes." Wei Ruo nodded.

The terrain here is not suitable for reclamation, but it is suitable for building reservoirs. As long as dykes are built in the gaps between several hills, it is possible to build a reservoir.

Walking while walking, suddenly a giant snake jumped out of the grass next to it, and rushed towards Wei Ruo.

Almost at the same time, both Chu Lan and Wei Jin came to their senses.

The two made a move, but Chu Lan was a step too late, and Wei Jinyi held the snake seven inches away with one hand.

Before the snake could struggle, Wei Jinyi broke the bone.

Seeing this scene, Chu Lan's eyes froze, and the way he looked at Wei Jinyi changed again and again.

Just now, he and the guard of the captain's mansion were about the same distance from Wei Qingruo, and they also shot at the same time, but he was a beat slower than this person.

This kind of skill was the first time he had seen it in the past 20 years. He can be sure that this person's martial arts is extremely high.

This made Chu Lan couldn't help thinking that one of the people who attacked him that day was also a top expert.

Experts of this level are rare, and he met two in the small Taizhou mansion. Is it really just a coincidence?

Wei Jin also killed the snake and wanted to throw it away, but Wei Ruo hurriedly stopped him: "Don't throw it away, it's a viper, it's a good thing! Whether it's boiled, eaten or used as medicine, it's excellent! It's so big, it can be boiled. It's a big pot!"

Wei Ruo looked at the big viper in Wei Jinyi's hand, and had already conceived the method of cooking it in his mind.

"Yes." Wei Jinyi was not surprised by Wei Ruo's behavior.

In fact, during the current food shortage, the mice in the fields have been eaten up by everyone, and the snakes are naturally eaten by people.

Xiumei hurriedly took out a cloth bag and asked Wei Jin to put the dead Viper in it.

This snake is indeed big enough, thicker than Xiumei's arm, if you make snake soup, you can make a big pot.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Jin and said, "This guard is very skillful, where did he come from?"
