There are still some people left who can be useful, so we won’t kill them for the time being.

"Thank you." Liang Shoubei and the military advisor were completely impressed by her methods, "Girl, please go slowly."

Yuan Jin nodded slightly, put away the list and plan, and left the garrison with fifty soldiers.

She did not rush back to the stronghold, but gave orders to all the soldiers to find their own way out of the city to the stronghold, and then left them alone.

These fifty people and the 500 people who will be trained will serve as special operations forces at her disposal when she goes to the garrison camp.

Now it's just a matter of testing their reflexes.

After the city gates were closed, Yuan Jin returned to one of the warehouses where grain and silver notes were received, and answered her Lian Xin to carefully report on the layout of the city.

The grains in the eight warehouses have been transferred, and the locations are hidden so that there is no fear of being stolen or set on fire by those who handed over the grains.

"Well done." Yuan Jin praised her and said with a smile, "Tell the girls that from now on in shift training, you must match the slogan when changing defense every day. If you can't match it, don't be merciful."

These girls will become the first batch of female officials in her hands in the future.

The Three Kings' Rebellion would have started even if the North had not been defeated. That would be the time for her to raise her own troops. Calculating the time, there were still seven years left, which was almost enough time for her to plan.

"Understood." Lian Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Jin couldn't help but pat her shoulder and entered the house to meet the girls.

The introduction when she entered the world said that her original father died in the war a year after she got married. Judging from the current situation, it should be before May next year.

According to the laws of ancient wars, Jin State will definitely go to war with Dasheng this winter.

This battle must be won, but it must not be won beautifully or miserably. The remaining 20,000 soldiers in the 80,000-strong army have become a hot potato, and no one is willing to snatch them away. The 60,000 "dead" soldiers will become her personal belongings.

Soldiers, replenishing the city's population, are always available for battle.

The prefect is under his own control. How to prepare household registration information and how to unify Beidi's identity information need to be carefully considered.

What we need to do now is to prepare tactics to deal with the Jin army before winter begins, and prepare food, grass, and winter clothing.

It's not easy to be the boss.

…

Early the next morning, the Xingcheng government office posted a notice listing the names of all wealthy households, wealthy households, landlords, etc. who donated land on the notice to commend them for their good deeds in guarding the country.

Su Yongzhang arranged for people to beat gongs along the street to inform them of the announcement. A group of people who had just recovered their senses heard that even the prefect had donated the land, and everyone tacitly remained silent.

It had been five days since Yuan Jin returned to the mountain stronghold. The fifty soldiers who went up the mountain on their own were severely tortured by the twenty who came first. The dissatisfaction and contempt before were gone from her eyes.

"Move all these books to the West Room." Yuan Jin got off the horse and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "You also need to learn to read and read."

Only literacy can convey information better.

"Sister, will we be as good as them after training?" The soldier's eyes brightened later, "I don't want to die on the battlefield."

"Girls can do it, so can you." Yuan Jin laughed and said, "Working, apart from training starting tomorrow, you have to be literate and take various classes."

"Oh..." the soldiers cheered and rushed to move the books together.

Song Yunce and Shen Rang stood under the eaves and looked at her with different thoughts.

"Mr. Song, do you feel that my sister... is different from the girls you usually see?" Shen Rang witnessed with his own eyes this month what it means to turn decay into magic. He also practiced with those soldiers, and his martial arts improved a lot.

"Sister, I've always been different." The smile in Song Yunce's eyes flashed away, "You will be even more surprised in the future."

What Ajie wants is the entire Dasheng empire, and he can see that.

"I believe you." Shen Rang clasped his hands together and asked quietly, "Will you always follow my sister?"

He also wants to follow his sister.

"Yes, keep following her." Song Yunce walked out of the eaves, walked towards Yuan Jin, raised his head and said to her, "Sister, I can help you."

He is my sister's housekeeper, and no matter what my sister does, he is her backbone.

"I do have something I want you to do." Yuan Jin stretched out his hand to rub the top of his head, "Go back to the house first, I will go find you later."

Song Yunce blushed and nodded.

Yuan Jin arranged for the soldiers to put away their books, and called out a soldier who had been trained before, "Jiang Ping, come out."

"Sister." Jiang Ping stepped out of the queue, his back straight and straight.

"One month, let them become as strong as you." Yuan Jin pointed at the new soldiers and said, "Teach them well as I taught you before. The daily lessons are not allowed to stop, and they are not allowed to cheat or play tricks."

"Yes." Jiang Ping nodded excitedly.

Yuan Jin glanced over and called out two more people, asking them to stay in the village and follow Song Yunce's command. The remaining seventeen people were waiting for her orders.

After arranging their work, Yuan Jin went to the girls and called Qu Ruyun out, "You are responsible for training the other girls. If you don't understand something, let Lian Xin teach you."

"Sister, are you going down the mountain?" Qu Ruyun's heartbeat quickened, "But is Jin State going to war?"

She also wants to make military exploits.

Some time ago, she went to the city with her elder sister. Her parents announced that she had been killed. When they saw her, they only asked her to leave quickly so as not to dirty the house.

She will be Ajie's person in life and Ajie's ghost in death.

"Not yet. You have to practice harder. I don't want to collect the corpse for you." Yuan Jin lowered his voice and looked down at her, "You can't stop studying. If you don't understand something, you can ask A Ce for help."

Those two children read a lot, and it was enough to teach them literacy and arithmetic.

Originally, she planned to send them back to Shangjing, but Song Yunce wouldn't leave, and neither would Shen Rang.

"Understood." Qu Ruyun smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moons, "I will never let my sister down."

Yuan Jin patted her shoulder and turned around to find Song Yunce.

The little zombie didn't leave, so he and Lian Xin were left to look after the house. They were both civil and military, so they could be used easily.

Yuan Jin briefly talked about his plans to go down the mountain, and said in a solemn tone, "Ace, this matter is related to whether the army at Lengguguan can win the battle. You and Sister Lianxin must defend your home."

"Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of this place." A faint smile appeared on Song Yunce's face, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Yuan Jin agreed, explained to Lian Xin carefully, left the command to change defenses, and went down the mountain with seventeen soldiers overnight.

The autumn harvest hasn't started yet, so she has to find out who are the grain merchants in this area in advance and look for a place that can be used as a granary. Tens of thousands of people need to eat tens of thousands of tons in a month. It really takes several months, not to mention the North Even if all the grains of Dasheng were transported to the ten cities in the land, there would not be enough food for them.

People are needed to transport food on the road, and the losses along the way are considerable.

If the few princes in the court continue to cause trouble, it is a miracle that 10% of the military rations can be delivered to the camp.

The battle must be fought quickly, and food preparation cannot be neglected.

Due to the frequent harassment by Jin State troops, most of the garrisoned fields were abandoned in the past two years. The food in the camp was enough to feed the soldiers, and it was not enough for a month.

Yuan Jin spent a month to find out the list of grain merchants in each county, the location of grain storage, and the quantity of stock. He left the North with seventeen soldiers and went to Yicheng, where salt was produced.

We stayed at the inn separately, and after lunch we went for a walk in and around the city.

Yuan Jin took the young general in his twenties to have a look around the Yanchi, and then returned to the city to be a 'guest' at Yanguan's house.

When it got dark, everyone followed Yuan Jin's command and gathered together to discuss how to get a share of salt from the imperial court.

"The management of salt affairs here is very strict. There are rations for how much salt is produced, and salt households producing salt are all registered." The person responsible for checking the salt households raised his hand, "Their working hours are fixed every day, and they are managed by dedicated personnel."

"Private salt is also available." Another person raised his hand.

"The number of private salt merchants is small, and they have divided labor and management, making it difficult to intervene."

After Yuan Jin heard what they said, he nodded slightly and said, "These situations are within expectation. We will meet with the salt officer later."

She found out everything they said. She looked through Yan Guan's correspondence and discovered a secret. This man was working for the King of Chu.

The King of Chu and the King of Qi were the most popular candidates for the crown prince, and the King of Chu's downfall was due to his father-in-law.
