Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 383 Solutions
Wu Xiaojie has always cherished words like gold and was generally serious in speech.

But every time he saw Bai Mingwei, he would show a happy expression, with an unabashed smile on his lips.

Perhaps as a general, he is destined to be attracted by stories of heroes, and thus respect those who are as passionate as his father.

He quickly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Miss Bai."

Bai Mingwei smiled: "Brother Wu, please get up quickly."

Wu Xiaojie stood up and asked, "Miss Bai, what do you want from me?"

Bai Mingwei put down the list in his hand and asked him: "Brother Wu, do you know how to blacksmith?"

Wu Xiaojie nodded hastily: "In fact, my father was a blacksmith before joining the army. When he was still alive, he often taught me the skills of blacksmithing and told me not to forget my roots."

"Later, after my father passed away, I never gave up this skill. Over the years, while farming, I also forged iron for others. What I forged the most was farm tools."

Bai Mingwei was overjoyed. She drew a few patterns on the paper and handed it to Wu Xiaojie: "Brother Wu, can you help me make the mold and samples?"

Wu Xiaojie took the paper respectfully and took a look. He was overjoyed and his hands trembled with excitement: "This...Miss Bai, did you design this? If my family could have such a set of farm tools, farming would be much easier."

Bai Mingwei did not mention Mr. Gongsun, because Mr. Gongsun was well-known in the early years. If too many people knew that Mr. Gongsun was in the Bai family army and served as Chuanyi's master, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

When faced with Wu Xiaojie's question, she simply said: "I didn't design it, but I can't tell you the source of the drawings. Please forgive me, Brother Wu."

Wu Xiaojie did not ask further questions, but then vowed: "Miss Bai, please give me one day, and I will definitely be able to make a sample. If the sample passes the test, I will start making the mold immediately."

Bai Ming smiled and nodded: "Then I'll bother Brother Wu."

As soon as Wu Xiaojie left with the drawings, Jiang Ci came over with news about the land and seeds: "Miss Bai, I have compiled all the recorded land in the five cities, as well as the seed distribution plan."

Bai Mingwei took the thick book and smiled back at him: "Thank you, Brother Jiang."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei looked at it carefully.

This glance lasted for a long time. Jiang Ci stood aside and waited quietly for her to finish reading without saying a word to disturb her.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ming closed the book slightly and said, "If the landlord and some farmers who own the fields had not falsely reported, after the seeds were evenly distributed, the situation would be much better than I expected."

Jiang Ci nodded: "I made a rough estimate. It will probably take at least [-] stones of seeds to fully plant these lands."

Bai Mingwei said: "The actual situation requires more. We divide the land suitable for planting according to the seeds to estimate the seed gap, but when it comes to actual planting, the division cannot be so clear."

"For example, this thousand acres of land is suitable for growing rice, and these fields will be rented to different tenants, and not all of them may be able to grow rice."

"So we need more quantity, because only by providing more choices to the people, they can grow more abundantly."

Then, Bai Mingwei told Jiang Ci about the plan to open up wasteland.

After listening to this, Jiang Ci very much agreed with Bai Mingwei's approach, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry: "Miss Bai, suddenly there are thousands more acres of land, where can we find more seeds?"

Bai Mingwei closed the booklet, then handed Jiang Ci a piece of paper and asked, "Brother Jiang, how much do you know about this person?" Jiang Ci took the white paper and read the name on it carefully: "Xue Huaizu? This is A great philanthropist with a well-known reputation in Jincheng, he is also a wealthy landowner with countless good lands and real estate under his name. Are you going to..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ci's eyes lit up: "Do you think he has seeds?"

Bai Mingwei nodded slightly: "In this war-torn and troubled world, food is far more important than gold and silver. After chatting with Brother Wei, I noticed that the rent this family charges from tenants is not gold and silver, but food."

"So I can be sure that they must have a lot of secrets to store food, and these people are well versed in business and will definitely make long-term plans."

"In case the tenants don't rent their fields without seeds, they will certainly save some seeds for a rainy day."

Jiang Ci couldn't help but worry after hearing this: "Jincheng is a hundred miles away. It's only half the journey from here to Liangcheng. Will it take a lot of time to cover such a long distance?"

Bai Mingwei explained: "I wanted to go to the nearest Yuecheng, but that is the boundary of Beiyan after all. It is not easy to transport large quantities of seeds back. After my screening, this is a relatively suitable choice."

"Besides..."

While talking, Bai Mingwei wrote another name on the paper.

She wrote the three short words very heavily, and the ink smeared on the rice paper, leaving several holes in the thin paper.

It's like she wrote with endless anger and hatred.

But her expression was so calm: "Brother Jiang, do you still remember this person?"

Jiang Ci slowly clenched his hands, and blue veins could be seen popping up on his forehead.

He almost gritted his teeth before saying the next words: "Remember, the border guard Li Xianzhao was the one who abandoned the city and fled, causing Qiang City, Jing City, Liancheng and Yao City to fall one after another."

"It was he who led the remnant soldiers to gather food and money in Pingcheng, making it almost impossible for the people in Pingcheng to survive. After he escaped from the cell, the people disappeared one after another. Finally, your father led his troops into Yinshan to save the people, but he was killed. ambush……"

"Tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in the cold Yin Valley. It wasn't until you and General Huo captured Pingcheng that you went to collect their bodies. How could I forget such a person and such hatred?"

Yes.

Li Xianzhao, this thief!
As a border guard general, he couldn't even defend the city!
As a result, Dongling lost five cities in succession, as well as thousands of people.

It also caused countless soldiers to die in a foreign land, unable to return to their roots.

Bai Mingwei put down his pen, but he unconsciously put it a little too hard, so that when the brush hit the pen rest, it broke with a "snap".

She was filled with rage, overwhelming rage.

But when she spoke to Jiang Ci, her voice was still so calm: "I checked the situation of Qiang City's seed warehouse in recent years and found that the seeds are always missing."

"Li Xianzhao is the defender of Qiang City. He is a high-ranking official who guards the territory. There is no one else but him who can embezzle the seeds of Qiang City. So I suspect that the lost seeds went into Li Xianzhao's pocket."

Jiang Ci's fists clenched even tighter, and he gnashed his teeth and said, "You suddenly mentioned Li Xianzhao and Xue Huaizu. Is there any connection between these two people?"
