Chapter 2679: A Visit
After becoming governor of Cheng City, Song Chuan has been working hard to develop Cheng City. There were many powerful official here and Song Chuan had to manage the balance of power well.
Besides that, he also had to take care of the officials and many other matters.
One year should be enough for him to get used to his new work and so on. Afterwards, it was his improvement plan for Cheng City without affecting the interest of these people.
Or in other words, he distributed the cake and those closer to him would get more benefit.
But it was also because Song Chuan started the trade route with the river that he found out that the situation on the west was not right. There were many people who suffered from famine and they couldn't eat enough.
The merchants who came were not bringing the supplies that Song Chuan expected but other things. Through asking them, he found out the situation on the west side was not very optimistic but this matter was outside his jurisdiction.
He was not powerful enough to help them.
So the only thing that he could do was to ask Long Qian Xing for help.
"I can't do much if it's the matter of nature." Long Qian Xing shook his head. He was not proficient in farming either.
To be honest, Long Qian Xing really wanted to cry when he thought that many people were talking about the problem of food and supplies. Not long ago, he also received letter that Song Yun Xiang and Gu Xia Mo were conflicted about this matter.
For this, all of them could only stay silent.
The five of them definitely didn't know any farming method and Nan Hua was even more unlikely.
After all, she was raised to be an assassin and not to be a farmer.
"But if it's the matter of bandits, I'll send my people to investigate. If there are truly bandits there, they will be eliminated soon," Long Qian Xing replied.
"That's good." Song Chuan smiled.
He also didn't expect that Long Qian Xing would be able to help with the food production in the west area. After all, the person in front of him is a general and not a magical farmer.
His goal from the very beginning was for the army under Long Qian Xing.
"Don't be too happy so soon. You know that it's almost winter and it'll be time for my assignment next," Long Qian Xing said slowly. "There's no way that I can arrange my soldiers to stay there for a long time and I have to delegate this matter to other commanders."
Speaking of other commanders, there were really not many people whom he could use at this time.
The few people whom Long Qian Xing knew were capable had chosen to fight at the north.
For example, Mu Sheng Xi had chosen to fight at the north and had been practicing in the north border area. There were some cases of bandits being subdued by Mu Sheng Xi as he was trying his best to make an achievement.
Young Commander Mu, Mu Sheng Xi, was already a 5000 men commander. Mu Sheng Xi seemed to suffer disastrous defeats several times and thus stagnated as 5000 men commander. By now, he was trying his best to rack up achievements after achievements in order to be able to be promoted to be a general.
Though, Long Qian Xing was not sure that he would be able to do it.
But since he wanted to stay at the north to fight against the northern tribe, Long Qian Xing definitely couldn't call him back.
He was not the direct superior of Mu Sheng Xi either, so it would be impossible for him to call for the other party to come back and helped him in this matter.
The other one that Long Qian Xing knew was capable would be Shen Shang Lang.
Regarding his work, Sheng Shan Lang participated in the early part of the war against Fan Yi Kingdom. He got injured and then moved to fight against the remnants on the west areas after his recovery. Even though his fame was not that big, but he still made his name loud on the battlefield.
Just like Mu Sheng Xi, he seemed to see the north border as a chance to make his name and decisively chose to stay on the north border for a long period of time. He has been training his soldiers there and had no plan to go back.
From what Long Qian Xing had heard, the two of them were planning to stay under General Gao in the next war.
Well, it might be because there were already two generals with General Yang and that there were more soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom there. With General Yang's method, most of them could be trusted but it would be inevitable that some spies might mix in.
Wei Mu Bai was already a general and had other arrangement at the north.
Shangguan Xian…
If Long Qian Xing was not wrong, Shangguan Xian remained in the central south area of Fei Yang Kingdom. He was busy with the bandits and probably some rebellion that occur near the areas that used to belong to Shi Long Kingdom.
He seemed to have some fixation to stay there.
Even though Shangguan Xian would move around the area from time to time and even paid a visit to Cheng City, Long Qian Xing knew that it would be hard for him to move away. Anyway, Shangguan Xian is also a general and had the same status as Long Qian Xing.
There was no way Long Qian Xing would be able to convince him to help him with this matter.
And then, the other commanders that Long Qian Xing could think of would be Nan Luo.
But just like the previous two commanders, this man had decided to stay on the north too…
Well, the battle at the north border seemed to be very attractive.
