Chapter 845: Vice Minister Liu Is Coming

~7 min read 1,392 words

"This Niu Chaofeng can still be considered a smart man."

Liu Zheng sat in the Horse Carriage and chuckled.

The Prince of Yong gave a scoff: "With your guidance, if he still doesn't know when to stop, it would mean there is no talent at all in this native Liaodong."

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

That was correct.

The one who gave that letter to Niu Chaofeng was Liu Zheng.

Ever since Niu Chaofeng began his rise, Liu Zheng had been keeping an eye on him.

Because Liu Zheng could see the romanticism of a Cowboy in him, he quite admired this young man. From his immaturity to his maturity, although the process involved unavoidable bloodshed and violence, this was the most appropriate atmosphere for Liaodong at the moment. Besides, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, whose first pot of gold was not stained with blood?

Thus, the crackdown period began.

If there were no Niu Chaofeng, starting a crackdown directly would naturally be fine. The reputation of Vice Minister Liu was no joke, but if such a Niu Chaofeng were supported, the effect of the crackdown would be different. He would provide a form of contrast in many aspects.

However.

Remember the website rg

Liaodong certainly could not continue to be in such chaos.

Liu Zheng wanted to set up an example.

An example of someone who abandoned evil to follow the good, washing away their dark past.

If the once arrogant and domineering Niu Chaofeng has learned to be good, why can't you?

If the once rampant and tyrannical Niu Chaofeng is now honestly starting to farm, what right do you have not to?

Upon receiving the news, Niu Chaofeng was completely stunned.

Therefore.

When Niu Chaofeng heartlessly spent all his assets to buy cattle, livestock, farm tools, and machinery, Liu Zheng planned to come and see for himself.

Regardless of what he had experienced in these past few months, he was, after all, a young man who had not long ago come out of Niu Family Village.

What kind of person was Vice Minister Liu?

"Vice, Vice Minister Liu is coming?"

He was so scared his legs nearly went weak, and his face turned deathly pale.

What was he coming for?

Was he coming to personally punish him?

No, that was not a man, that was a god!

Back when he was in Niu Family Village, he didn't know, but now that he had been wandering the world for so long, the name of Vice Minister Liu was thunderous to his ears.

"Boss, why don't we just run?"

"Boss, this..."

To punish him for the bloodshed during his rise?

Several times, he had thought about just running away. But firstly, he couldn't bear to part with his three-thousand-mu manor, this family business he had fought so hard to build; and secondly, he didn't know where he could escape to, given that the net of heaven has wide meshes.

Niu Chaofeng, however, gritted his teeth fiercely: "Run? Run where? Everyone get to work! Remember, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Before this Vice Minister Liu arrives, you must open up more wasteland for me, use the Yinzhou Plow, the Yinzhou Plow!"

"Yes!"

"Boss..."

The brothers under his command were also terrified, every one of them.

Open up the wasteland!

All of Liaodong was busy opening up wasteland.

Rolling up his sleeves, Niu Chaofeng also followed his main force and began to head into the wasteland.

Open up the wasteland!

Good heavens.

Did he really think that just because he stopped in time, he would be fine? Did he really think that now that he had started farming, his past sins would be wiped clean?

However.

Soon, the news that Vice Minister Liu was about to come find Niu Chaofeng spread throughout all of Liaodong. Everyone was waiting to see Niu Chaofeng make a fool of himself.

Who wasn't jealous of Niu Chaofeng's family business now? And thinking back to his background, a poor boy who ran out of a small village, it was impossible for his background to have a backer like Vice Minister Liu.

This was going to be good.

At this time, Vice Minister Liu was coming to settle accounts with him, right!

Quite a few people began to gloat.

Black Soil.

This was a concept Liu Zheng had recently promoted in Liaodong.

Many people were even starting to rub their hands in anticipation.

Once Niu Chaofeng was dealt with by the law, they would definitely find a Method to snatch this Black Soil, which could be called the most fertile in Liaodong, from his hands!

The survival rate was shockingly high.

It had only been a few days.

At first, people didn't believe it.

Later, as the weather slowly warmed up and the land reclamation project gradually unfolded, people discovered that Liaodong was not a barren land at all! The soil here was too suitable for farming! The Black Soil had an organic matter content of five to seven percent, several times that of yellow soil! In these past few days, some people had already started trying to plant Sweet Potato on the reclaimed land.

A treasure land, this was a true treasure land for growing crops!

Once this discovery came out, everyone was shocked.

The farmers of Longyan naturally had their own set of standards for judging whether land was fertile, and upon seeing this situation, they had already begun to exclaim.

This Black Soil of Liaodong was "an ounce of soil, two ounces of oil"!

Although the difficulty of land reclamation is great and the conditions are very arduous, as long as they can let the common people have enough to eat, they are willing to endure any bitterness or fatigue!

Along the way, many farm owners warmly invited Liu Zheng when he passed by.

Consequently.

The enthusiasm for land reclamation in Liaodong reached its peak once again.

Qingshui.

This should be an ancient name; although Liu Zheng does not know what this place was called in his past life.

Liu Zheng naturally had no time to go, which left many people extremely disappointed.

The tracks in Liaodong are also already being laid, but after all, the biggest task at present is still land reclamation, and there is not enough labor to lay tracks; otherwise, in five days, Liu Zheng could have traveled from Liaodong Prefecture to the Qingshui area where Niu Chaofeng is located.

That is to say.

This is a region adjacent to Tsarist Russia.

But he knows.

This place is in the Lesser Khingan Mountains, near the Wusuli River.

If Liaodong begins to take off.

Tsarist Russia will surely have designs on it.

For him, it is the top priority.

Accustomed to looking three steps ahead for every step he takes, Liu Zheng has no reason not to keep the powerful Tsarist Russia in his sights.

On this day.

Liu Zheng finally arrived at Niu Chaofeng's manor.

"Vice Minister Liu is here!"

"Vice Minister Liu is here!"

"Greetings, my lord!"

A group of people were still trembling with fear.

Niu Chaofeng had long since led his three thousand tribesmen to kneel and welcome him.

"Commoner Niu Chaofeng, greetings, my lord!"

Niu Chaofeng snuck a glance at Liu Zheng, then buried his head deeply again, not daring to lift it at all.

Footsteps sounded.

Because no one knew exactly why Vice Minister Liu had come here.

Liu Zheng smiled and stepped down from the Horse Carriage with the Prince of Yong.

Facing Vice Minister Liu.

It was absolutely a crushing of his spirit; he did not dare to let out a single peep.

He was getting closer and closer to him.

Niu Chaofeng's breathing had already stopped.

He did not dare to offer the slightest resistance.

Afterwards.

He knew that there were many people waiting to see him make a fool of himself and many waiting for him to die.

But he still did not dare.

He felt a hand gently pat his shoulder.

A gentle voice rang out.

"Well done. Along the way, only your land reclamation speed here has been the fastest."

Refined and cultured, with an extraordinary manner of speaking.

In an instant, Niu Chaofeng felt like he was the handsome man chosen by the heavens, trembling all over with excitement.
