After Anfuzu Hangping was brought back to Shuangtree City, he rested for several days. Seeing that time passed by without receiving an edict, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked to see Sara one day.
Sara didn't call him because he wasn't ready, but since he came over, he could arrange some things.
Sara sat at the top and put down the memorial.
The following Anfuzu Hangping came to Shuangtree City and found that many people in this place used tables and chairs instead of the common kneeling posture. At this moment, when I saw the chair she was sitting on, I didn't understand what was wrong.
What goes up and what goes down will work.
"It's better to sit down on your knees. It's not elegant to sit on this thing." The old man's face turned red, thinking that as a courtier, he might as well give a warning.
Sara's expression was stunned and silent.
I saw Sara's eyes glance at the old man's lower body, and he looked away for a moment: "The people General Zuo arranged for you, no one arranged clothes for you?"
Can the old man say no? Of course there is, but at that time he didn't think it was necessary, so he didn't wear it.
As if thinking of something shocking, Sara sighed with a confused expression: "You will know after you go back and put it on and sit on the chair."
"Okay, I wonder what you want from me?"
Anfuzu Hangping looked serious and replied: "The city lord knows that I am grateful to you, but time waits for me. I really don't have the heart to continue to stay. Please arrange some government affairs for me."
He had never been reused in Chiyoda, and when he came to Shuangshu City and saw the waste waiting to be done, he couldn't wait to do it. He was so old, how could he delay for a few years.
Sara nodded, looking like she was thinking.
Anfuzu Hangping lowered his head slightly, but in fact he was always paying attention to Sara's movements.
This time, it was actually a test for An Fuzu Hangping. The people in Salo sounded so good, but in fact it was definitely not good enough.
"I have two important things to do. I don't know which one you want to do." Sara tapped her fingertips on the table, raised her eyes and said clearly.
Two serious matters, Anfuzu Hangping made guesses in his mind before Suo Luo answered. He had found out almost everything about the city in recent days, and the officials of the old country were restless and wanted to suppress the female city lord. Could it be that this was the big thing she was talking about.
If so, that's a bummer.
"You have seen the situation outside clearly all the way from Chiyoda. The Sara Kingdom has a reputation of not being easy to deal with during the previous war, but it actually has its own worries."
Sara stood up from the chair and walked down the steps with her hands behind her back: "Those city lords said nicely. They will definitely help the Sara Kingdom in the future. Who knows one day, they will feel that we are a serious problem in their hearts, and they will unite to get rid of us. "
Anfuzu Hangping nodded in agreement.
"Agricultural production must be increased, but it is not the first priority. The first priority must be to expand food reserves and greatly expand military strength."
The eyes of the old man in front of him lit up, he looked at Sara and asked, "Did the city lord have a good idea?"
"It's not a good move. It's just a borrowed knife to kill someone."
Regarding the cultivation of grain, Sara ordered people to prepare it after arriving in Shuangshu City. It was not yet the planting season, so if Anfuzu Hangping did a good job in storing grain, it would not be impossible for him to hand over the grain seeds.
The ministers can test the city lord, and she can also test and return, right?
Sara smiled broadly and patted the old man's shoulder to encourage him.
The old man remained silent, and his little thoughts were discovered.
"For this matter, we have to make use of the old ministers of the Tata Kingdom and the ministers with ulterior motives in Asuoye City. We can do this..." Sara waved An Fuzu Hangping to the table and picked up a brush to write on the paper.
The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.
"High, really high. City Lord, he really has an extraordinary mind."
People outside only knew that the old man Sara brought back from Chiyoda entered the city lord's mansion and chatted with Sara for a long time. What exactly they talked about could not be found out. They only knew that Anfuzu Kohei went around to buy food not long after. After a war, the food reserves of the Salo Kingdom were insufficient and needed to be replenished.
Whether it is a show of weakness to the enemy or whether it is true, many parties are investigating intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, what attracted these people the most were the officials from Asuoye City.
As a victorious country, these officials who came from other places were clean-minded and had no consciousness of coming to someone else's territory. They did not compliment the officials of the old country when they saw them, and they did not even treat them as colleagues.
"It's true, it's true..." In a mansion, Ryota Ishii leaned over his desk and swept away a bunch of items on the table.
He said that Sara would not dare to ignore them too much, and one day he would beg them for help, but in the end, he was slapped across the face.
This female city lord is really not afraid that those officials from Asuoye City will not be able to manage this place.
Matsunouchi Tsubasa felt uncomfortable, but he still comforted Ryota Ishii and said, "Don't worry, we haven't reached the end of the road yet. It's up to the people below to believe them or not."
If the people below disobey the management, what can Sara do? There are so many people, how could she put them all in jail?
"Matsuno-kun, we can't sit still and wait for death." Ryota Ishii gritted his teeth, his dark pupils aimed at Matsunouchi Tsubasa.
"You're thinking……"
"That's right," Ishii Ryota chuckled, and the words he spoke were extremely sinister, "You and I don't know whether Asano Castle is short of food, but don't you know if this place is short of food?"
Missing, so lacking. In order not to make wedding clothes for the Salo Kingdom, the royal family of the Tata Kingdom had their granaries burned down before their death. Where could the food reserves come from in the city now?
The reason why there was no chaos during this period was that the people below still had some surplus food at home, and Asuoye City replenished some, which prevented the situation from getting worse.
Matsunouchi's lips pursed into a straight line, but he still had worries in his heart: "What if Asano Castle has a lot of food."
"We will know if there are more or not by contacting the people over there. Moreover, even if they are not short, there will be no loss, as long as we clean up the tail well."
…
An Fu Zu Hang Ping thought at first that it would be a waste of time to get involved in the dispute between the two ministers, but because of Su Luo's instructions, he devoted himself wholeheartedly.
"How can we not sell it? If we don't sell our food, wouldn't we be stretched thin? Can't you think of other ways?" The old man slapped the table angrily, veins jumping on his forehead.
The officials from Asuoye City looked at each other, helpless and unhappy: "Other countries know that we are short of food, and they are not willing to sell us food. What can we do?"
This is an allusion to his incompetence in doing things and being the first to expose the news.
The old man looked up and down at the young official who was speaking. He didn't show anything on his face, but he felt certain that he was talking.
Not too stupid, can be trained and trained.
Little Morinita was so frightened by that look that she took a step back, her heart pounding. This old guy from Chiyoda won't teach him a lesson later. Why is he so talkative?
Seeing this, other officials silently mourned for him.
"I don't care, you must buy food. Winter is coming soon. When the time comes, the people will have no wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and the court will not have food to provide disaster relief. We will not be able to bear the chaos."
Just like him, he returns talents.
The officials felt that either the city lord had been deceived or they were blind. He was no more like a talent than a skinny boss.
"What are you looking at! Why don't you hurry up and do something!" An Fuzu Hangping's reason was very good, and it was not to train their abilities.
"Yes Yes Yes."
None of the officials who could seek refuge with Sara and find the second god Kyosuke at this time had a stupid head. Despite the pressure, they actually bought more than a dozen carts of grain before winter came.
An Fuzu Hangping entered the city lord's palace and said this to Sara: "It's not stupid enough to know how to start from corrupt officials in other countries. There are many people in this world who are selfish and don't consider national affairs."
Other countries knew that the Salo Kingdom was short of food, and secretly ordered no one to sell food. Unable to bear it, some people were unwilling to work together. As long as they could produce as much food as they could with gold and silver, they would dare to sell anything.
Knowing that those officials bought food, Ryota Ishii and Tsubasa Matsunouchi were furious.
"Didn't they promise not to sell a grain of grain to the Sara Kingdom?" Ryota Ishii angrily fired at Matsunouchi Tsubasa.
Matsunouchi Tsubasa was annoyed and calmly explained: "What the noble family wants to do, there is no way the higher-ups can say anything about it."
Even if he is discovered, what the people above can do is not to get angry and give a warning, but not even dare to move.
It's really enviable to say the least. It would be great if they could also dominate the Salo Kingdom.
Suddenly, Ryota Ishii laughed.
Matsunouchi Tsubasa was attracted by the laughter, and felt that since the arrival of Sara Country, his friend had become more and more nervous, and he was still laughing at this time.
"Didn't the city lord have people make those fire pits for the people? Fire is something that can easily cause disaster."
"what you up to?"
"What you are doing is, of course, causing trouble for our new city lord."
Ryota Ishii sneered, laughing so hard: "When the people really can't stand it anymore and want to rebel, it's time for us to start a war. Do you think the defeated soldiers who surrendered to General Zuo will join the Sara Kingdom in a short period of time?"
Of course not in such a short time.
He made it clear enough. After thinking about it for a few breaths, Matsunouchi Tsubasa understood: "The new city lord is destroyed, who should we support as the city lord? You know, being the city lord is not a good thing."
"What's the matter? I'm angry with Aso Yecheng. Doesn't this new city lord have a crazy father? A crazy father can also be the city lord." The man waved his sleeves indifferently, saying that everything had been arranged long ago.
Tsubasa Matsunouchi understood.
"Won't the other party defect in the face of battle? That's a minister of the Salo Kingdom."
"I don't understand what you are afraid of."
Tsubasa Matsunouchi has been questioning this and that for a while, so he doesn't want to get involved. Ishii Ryota thought of this and rubbed the pads of his thumbs.
"You don't have to worry about whether to defect or not, just do the things I arranged. By the way, leave the food matter to Zuo Ziliang."
He didn't dare to give something as important as food to Matsunouchi Tsubasa.
Who is Zuo Ziliang, Ryota Ishii’s right-hand man? Matsunouchi Tsubasa couldn't say much, so he could only nod, and then left the mansion after talking as usual.
Zuo Ziliang, who had just been mentioned, silently stepped forward.
Ryota Ishii narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and carefully arranged: "Keep an eye on him."
"yes."
