It was getting slightly brighter, and 1,500 men and horses were already assembled and on standby.
This time the bandits were suppressed, Qin Yuan was the main general, and Gongsun Qi was the deputy general and studied from the side.
Gongsun Qi has read military books, but has almost zero experience in leading troops in combat. He still needs to learn from more people.
That's why Qin Yu made such an arrangement, and Gongsun Qi had no objection.
Qin Yu did not participate in the battle to suppress the bandits, but stayed in Cang County.
Before setting off, Qin Yu pulled Qin Yuan aside.
"There is something, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Sir, please speak!" Qin Yuan cupped his hands and said.
Qin Yu looked at Sun Erniang, Siniang and others in front of the battle, and said: "Take more care of Erniang and the others. Although they were born bandits before, they are women after all, and Erniang has been injured."
Qin Yuan was stunned and looked at Sun Erniang.
This Sun Erniang looks a bit older than the young master, but she is also somewhat pretty, so it is normal for the young master to like her.
Qin Yu saw a strange look in Qin Yuan's eyes and immediately understood that this guy was thinking wrong.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't think too much! I just want you to take care of them. They are women after all." Qin Yu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, but he didn't know how to explain it.
"Young master, you don't need to explain, all the generals will understand."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and ordered: "The whole army listens to the order! Set out to suppress the bandits!"
"promise!"
Qin Yu opened his mouth, looking on the verge of tears as Qin Yuan led the people away. What he took with him was still the deep misunderstanding.
Old Huang on the side was a little blind at this time, so he came forward and asked.
"Sir, do you really like Sun Erniang?"
Qin Yu grinned and looked at Old Huang with kind eyes, which made Old Huang feel frightened.
"Sir, what's in your eyes? I'm a little scared." Only then did Lao Huang realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
"You are still afraid! You are afraid of a ball!" Qin Yu was kicked to the ground by Lao Huang and left here gasping for breath.
"It seems that the master really likes that Sun Erniang, so he is so angry." Old Huang chuckled and got up.
Qin Yu didn't expect that he would be misunderstood for asking Qin Yuan to take care of Sun Erniang and the others.
Qin Yu returned to the county captain's house angrily, and happened to see Xiao He eating breakfast there while writing something.
"Don't eat and write at the same time, I'll choke you to death!"
Xiao He looked confused. Isn't he like this every day? Why did he suddenly scold himself?
Still confused, Xiao He hurriedly put down the steamed buns, picked up the bamboo slips and ran towards Qin Yu.
"My lord! My lord! I have something to discuss with your lord!"
Xiao He ran all the way to catch up with Qin Yu, but when he saw Qin Yu's stern face, he couldn't say anything for a while.
Qin Yu carried Xiao He into the study.
"Ah! Help! Help!" Xiao He screamed.
Lao Huang had just followed back, and was startled when he heard the sound, and hurriedly hid again.
"Stop shouting, I can still eat you." Qin Yu put down Xiao He and sat on the chair.
"If you have anything to do, tell me." Qin Yu said with his eyes closed.
Xiao He straightened his clothes and spread the bamboo slips in front of Qin Yu.
"Sir, the time that is conducive to farming is only half a month. If we don't start farming, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Xiao He was so anxious about this matter that he couldn't sleep, and even talked to Qin Yu several times.
However, due to the rampant bandits outside the city, Qin Yu restricted the people from leaving the city to farm, which wasted a lot of time.
Qin Yu also knew that this matter was very urgent, but he could not let the people take risks out of the city.
"Er Niang said that it only takes five days at the earliest to eliminate the bandits outside the city. By then, we can naturally go out to farm."
"Five days, I'm afraid this will waste a lot of time."
Xiao He frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I will be farming in five days, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the time."
"In my opinion, since the army has left the city to suppress the bandits, the bandits outside the city will definitely not dare to invade the places around us, so we can start today in less than five days."
Xiao He's words are not unreasonable, but they are not absolutely safe. There must be some risk, but it will be very small.
After careful consideration, Qin Yu agreed with Xiao He's idea, but Qin Yu also planned to send two hundred troops to patrol outside the city to protect the people working in agriculture.
"One more thing." Xiao He pointed at the bamboo slips and said, "Sir, it is difficult to make Cang County rich just by selling mirrors. Here are some ideas I have that can improve the economy of Cang County."
Qin Yu glanced at it and handed it back to Xiao He.
Xiao He was confused, what does this mean?
"Sir, you haven't even read it yet, how do you know that these ideas of mine are not good?"
Xiao He suddenly became anxious. After all, he had been the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Could it be that his ideas were so bad?
Qin Yu did not answer Xiao He, but just said to Xiao He: "If you have any ideas, just do it. When you are done, just let me see it."
"Sir, you can't think that my ideas are not good just because I'm young. I can really do it for you, just like before when we were planning the future of Cang County..."
"What! What!"
Xiao He was trying to persuade Qin Yu to read his own opinion, but was suddenly stopped by Qin Yu's words.
"Sir, you want me to do it directly?" Xiao He looked at Xiao He in disbelief.
Qin Yu said: "Actually, mirror is just one of the plans for Cang County's business."
“Wine brewing and grain sales will be Cang County’s main business in the future.”
Xiao He laughed angrily after hearing this.
At present, Cang County can barely keep up with farming, and its population is still so small.
And making wine requires a lot of grain, let alone selling the grain, which is simply nonsense.
Qin Yu ignored Xiao He and just continued: "Whatever you want to do, just take Lao Huang to do it."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Lao Huang ran in.
"My lord, Miss Zhao Ling'er is here and wants to see your lord."
Qin Yu nodded and said to Lao Huang: "Xiao He needs your help in some matters. Please cooperate fully. Just listen to him."
"Ah? I listened to him? Sir, are you mistaken?" Lao Huang looked in disbelief.
Lao Huang knew that Xiao He was somewhat capable, but Xiao He was so young. If he was talented, he wouldn't have to listen to him.
Qin Yu said helplessly: "Even I have to listen to him, why don't you come and sit in my place, so you don't have to listen."
Lao Huang was startled and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, I listen, I listen. I will listen to whatever this guy asks me to do."
After hearing Lao Huang's statement, Qin Yu also nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, you two, hurry up and get out. Remember to invite Miss Zhao Ling'er in." Qin Yu waved to the two of them.
"promise!"
Lao Huang mentioned Xiao He and walked out.
"Hey, hey, hey! Let me go! Why do you all like to carry people so much! Let me down!"
