Before going to the capital, Lu Xiaoyun visited the mine a few more times.

Previously, due to the turmoil in the capital, there were many refugees in the northwest.

The talents Lu Yuanming found arrived at the mine in the name of refugees, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The trees planted by Lu Xiaoyun grew rapidly and surrounded the mine with lush greenery. It won't be long before they will probably completely block the entire mine.

The village chief, who didn't really trust Lu Xiaoyun at first, also found Lu Xiaoyun and discussed planting trees with him.

"Oh, yes, I was wrong. You child are really like a fairy in the sky. You have done everything we can't do. Now I really believe what you said. If you want to be rich, you can plant more trees."

, you see, besides the land you bought, there is still a lot of unopened land around us, how about you find that barbarian to buy some seeds and plant all this land?"

The village chief knew that Lu Xiaoyun was very busy, so he got straight to the point and spoke out all his thoughts.

Lu Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Since the village chief believes in me so much, I can't shirk it, right? It's just that it's not the time to plant trees now, we have to wait until next year."

In fact, those trees can still be planted in the ground even if there is heavy snowfall.

But Lu Xiaoyun didn't want people to think it was too weird, so he still followed people's usual thinking.

In this way, even if they discover later, it can only be said that the vitality of these trees is far beyond imagination, and even she did not expect it.

"Well, whatever you say is what you say. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell us. I will never distrust you just because you are young. I think God is still very kind to our deserted village.

Yes. You see, as soon as the Lu family came, they saved our deserted village. Now it seems that the deserted village is no longer the poorest place in the northwest."

"The village chief is not afraid that I will cause trouble?"

"No, no, no, it was me who made the mistake. If I hadn't thought about it from the beginning, our deserted village would definitely have changed. Although I have never traveled far, I know that where there are trees, there is water. The past two years have been pretty good.

, there’s not much water shortage.”

The village chief mentioned that during the severe drought in the northwest, a bucket of water was used over and over again for several days, and even those years when people were so thirsty that they couldn't stand it before taking a sip of water. It's still scary to think about it now, so every household has several buckets of water ready.

The big tank is kept full all the time, but I am afraid that there will be another day like this when there is not enough water at home.

Lu Xiaoyun has never seen it, but he can still imagine the scene of thousands of miles away.

"Well, I'll see if I can find that barbarian again and buy some seeds. If I can't find it, I'll just wait a year or two. Maybe the trees I planted will bloom and bear fruit."

"Well, by the way, Xiaoyun, what did you do with that piece of wasteland you bought? It seems like you hired a lot of people?"

The side of the mine is not completely covered yet, so you can still see some things from a distance.

"I plan to encircle it. Although our place is not a border crossing, it is better to be prepared if there are other countries in the desert. In the past, the villages were desolate and poor, and it was not worth them sending troops to plunder. But it will be different in the future."

"You are still thinking long-term and thoughtfully. Then you can tell me when the time comes and I will ask the people in the village to help. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, everyone has nothing to do."

"good."

Lu Xiaoyun agreed.

Mining has not started yet, the infrastructure needs to be built.

The village chief received Lu Xiaoyun's affirmative answer and left happily.

He couldn't help but be excited when he thought that he was about to become the head of the richest village in Yongping County.

This is something I never dared to dream about before, but now I can achieve it without even dreaming.

"Dad, I'm going to the capital in a few days. I'll leave the money to you first." Lu Xiaoyun found Lu Yuanming and planned to give Lu Yuanming money.

Lu Yuanming touched her head: "No need, Dad already has enough money."

"Are you going to use your private money again?"

"It's not private money. Didn't dad tell you earlier that something happened in the north and he couldn't send the money in time? Now it's all been sent."

Lu Xiaoyun thought of the money from the General's Mansion in Daze City, but she hadn't told Lu Yuanming yet.

"Dad, do you think there is anything strange about the general's mansion being on fire?"

"What's wrong? Are there any clues?"

"They want to force the Yang family away, it must be to keep some secret."

"There are many secrets in the northwest, and this one is no exception."

When Lu Xiaoyun heard this, he felt that Lu Yuanming seemed to know something.

"father?"

"So, there's no need to tell dad everything. It wasn't that he was incompetent before, he just wanted to avoid suspicion. Now, they have too much time to take care of themselves. This is dad's chance. Okay, it's yours, just take it, there's no need to take it out."

"father!"

"Good daughter, be obedient."

Lu Yuanming chuckled.

When he went to Daze City, he also took a look at the burned courtyard of the General's Mansion and found the secret room.

With just a little thought, Lu Yuanming could guess that this incident was most likely related to Lu Xiaoyun.

He knew that Lu Xiaoyun had a secret, but he never told it.

Lu Xiaoyun smiled brightly, "What about my travel expenses to the capital?"

"Dad is ready." Lu Yuanming said dotingly, "Is it possible that my daughter will be hungry after traveling far away?"

After saying that, Lu Yuanming took out a bulging wallet and handed it to Lu Xiaoyun.

"The money here is enough for you to use in the capital. If it's not enough, go to the shopkeeper and ask for it."

"OK."

Lu Xiaoyun accepted the purse.

How can you reject your father's wishes?

"Dad knows the obsession in your heart, but be careful in everything and don't be too careless. There are people outside, and dad just wants you to be safe."

Lu Yuanming didn't want Lu Xiaoyun to go to the capital, but he also knew his daughter's temperament. No one could stop her from what she wanted to do.

Rather than letting her run away secretly, it's better to support her.

"Dad, I know."

"Okay, you go and accompany your mother. Dad is going to the mine to take a look. I'm afraid there are things they don't understand about the drawings you drew. Dad needs to talk to them about it."

"Well, go ahead."

…

There was no big fanfare about cement.

Even if everyone in the mine is trustworthy, not everyone knows it.

The villagers only knew that the Lu family dug a kiln and fired some strange things, that's all.

When strangers came to inquire, the villagers acted as if they didn't know anything.

Of course, the Xu clan members were ready to take action, but they were all warned by their fourth uncle.

"If you want to die, feel free to tell others. If I find out, I will expel you from the clan. Anyway, don't involve us."

That little girl from the Lu family is very cruel. If the Xu family does anything else, she may be exterminated.

Although he can't interact with the Lu family now, at least Lu Xiaoyun will not embarrass them for the sake of money, which is enough. The Xu family is just a small family, and they really have no place to stay after leaving the deserted village.

My fourth uncle saw it clearly.

Those people's thoughts were completely suppressed by being "expelled from the family". Knowing that they could not withstand the temptation, they hid away from strangers when they saw them.

Lu Xiaoyun didn't know this. After she was ready, she and A Tian embarked on the road to the capital.

The day after Lu Xiaoyun left, an uninvited guest came to the deserted village.
