Chapter 955: Chapter 955 I’ll accompany you

"It seems it’s not us playing matchmaker, but rather they are attracted to each other, right? But you said Jianxi likes those who are skilled in martial arts, and Long San doesn’t seem to know any, only how to play the flute to lure snakes out of their holes. If the two of them ever got into a fight, Long San would be at a disadvantage."

"If Jianxi really likes Long San, she’ll know how to keep it under control, so let’s not worry about it."

Nan Feng then asked Ye Ge, "When is Long San going back to Fu County? With such a big gang, he can’t stay for many days, can he?"

"I asked him yesterday, and he said he’d wait for your injury to heal, and then we can head back together. He can also wait for us in the Capital City for a few days."

"That’s great, it’s better to have more people," Nan Feng said, but there was an underlying worry in her voice.

She was concerned that Tuoba Lie wouldn’t let things go and might ambush them again.

"Fengfeng, just focus on healing your wounds. You needn’t worry about anything else, I’m here."

"Alright."

...

In the suburbs of Shangzhi City.

Lu Jianxi first went to the Clerk to check the list of people who had returned home that day before taking a few households to check on their resettlement.

Long San followed her all the way.

After getting the register, Lu Jianxi also asked the Clerk for a carriage. Before getting on, she stopped beside the vehicle and asked Long San, "Are you still coming with me?"

Long San nodded, then with the aid of Butler Yan, he climbed onto the carriage. "I’ve got nothing else to do anyway, I might as well accompany you."

Lu Jianxi then got into the carriage, and Butler Yan, because of Long San’s meaningful gaze, had to come up with an excuse to go back to the Yamen.

"Is this what you do every day?" Long San asked inside the carriage.

Lu Jianxi, while looking at the register, replied, "What do you think, is it boring?"

"How could it be? You’re so earnest and responsible. The local people must welcome you and be grateful to you."

"What I want is not their gratitude," Lu Jianxi said before urging the coachman to head to a certain village.

"Yes, you have the air of a general’s daughter, giving your all for the imperial court without expecting anything in return. If all the officials in the court were like you, then the common folk would surely live in peace and happiness."

"Stop with the flattery," Lu Jianxi said.

Once they left the suburbs, they were greeted by the sight of a dilapidated village. It seemed only about half of the people were living there, but they all recognized Lu Jianxi. As soon as they saw the carriage arrive, they came out to greet her, asking if she had eaten breakfast yet. If she hadn’t, they urged her to come in and eat, but Lu Jianxi would just respond with a simple: I’ve already eaten.

"Where does this newly returned Zhang Dazhi live?" Lu Jianxi asked one of the households. Someone then pointed toward the end of the village.

Lu Jianxi continued her search along the way.

Long San followed her, commenting as they went, "This place looks very desolate."

"Yes, these are villagers who have only just returned. How could it not be bleak? It’s winter now, and it’s hard to grow anything. They also don’t have any grain stored for the winter; they’re relying on grain distributions from the granaries."

"Relying solely on the official granaries for distribution, when will that end? That’s not a solution," Long San said.

Lu Jianxi stopped and asked him, "Without the grain distributions, do you have a better idea? Do you think they want to starve?"

"Then how much grain is distributed to each household?" Long San asked.

"Enough to get by," Lu Jianxi replied, obviously feeling that these people of Jianghu did not understand these matters.

"Then that’s where the problem lies," Long San said calmly.

"What’s the problem?"

"If you give them enough, how will they ever be motivated to find a solution to their own subsistence?"
