One thousand four hundred and fifteen chapters army resources missing
At the beginning of October, Jiang Xingchen finally got back on track. He realized that it was not Ling'er who came to harass them at all. It was probably Mei'er and Tang Chuxue's idea. The purpose was to end this kind of daily life. After resting for more than 20 days, he had lazy cancer, and if he had too long this kind of life, he would really have to eat a tiger whip.
The two wives did this for his health. Another pile of accumulated work in Mei'er's city hall needs to be dealt with. After Ling'er set off with Wanrou, she plunged into the city hall and never returned home. Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to do so, and the depression and discomfort in her heart gradually dissipated.
It is worth mentioning that Tang Chuxue took off his duties as a bodyguard and took over as the commander-in-chief of the Xingchen Leader.
In the past, the private soldiers and veterans led by Xingchen were all teams of hundreds of people, and there was no general manager on it. They were under Jiang Xingchen's direct jurisdiction, and their responsibilities were not clear. This time, except for the security team, which was managed by Zhao Danqing's mother, all other forces were placed under Tang Chuxue's hands, including the armed forces in Bingyuan, Minggang City, Curse Land and Mingque Island.
Tang Chuxue is his wife, of course she can trust her, and she was also the former commander of the first legion and has rich experience. Tang Chuxue herself also feels that the responsibility is heavy. The Star Leader has developed too fast and has too much wealth. There is nothing in the world who is not jealous, so the role of force is the most important.
Xingchen had few people and few soldiers, and even more than 6,000 private soldiers. Their locations were still scattered, so Tang Chuxue could hardly sleep at night for several days after taking office, and was considering reasonable allocation of troops, weapons equipment and protective measures.
The two wives were busy in the dark, so Jiang Xingchen certainly did not want to stay alone in the empty house and moved back to the lord's mansion in the new town. There were also a lot of research, experiments, the next step in planning for the metropolis, and development plans.
As soon as he got busy, he gradually returned to his previous state, running back and forth between the Duan family, the Lord's Mansion and the University.
It was mid-October. Mei'er and Tang Chuxue, who had been busy for more than ten days, finally returned home in the evening. Jiang Xingchen was very happy and prepared to fool him after dinner and continue to work hard for the great goal of the twig-loving lotus in his heart.
But as soon as he finished his meal, Tang Chuxue talked to him about work.
"Xingchen. We have too few armed forces! There are more than 6,000 people in total. We need to protect Xingchen Corps, Ice Field, Curse Land, Minggang City, and five places on Mingque Island, and several escorts of mine veins, each of which is less than a thousand people! Not to mention that we also need guards in the five major concessions on Chongming Island!" said Tang Chuxue.
Speaking of the serious matter, Jiang Xingchen could only suppress his thoughts and sighed: "I also know this situation. Xingchen has too few people. The coolies and ordinary staff recruited outside are mixed with spies from various countries. Once they recruit soldiers, they don't know how many people they will get in... I will ask for retired soldiers from major legions, and the emperor will never agree."
Tang Chuxue smiled and said, "I know this, but it is not without a solution. Didn't I just trained a group of people from the desert?"
"That group of people is not good!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head: "Those are all security personnel, and the new city has expanded so much. The original manpower is not enough, and the Curse Land is also expanding and building. These three thousand people will be gone at a minute!"
"I know this too... But Xingchen, don't forget that there is a desert. I remember you told me that Saga and the centipede have control over tens of thousands of sand thieves. Once the Yuanshi mine in the depths of the desert is mined, why are these people doing? You can't continue to be sand thieves, right?"
"Do you want to mobilize more sand thieves to come back and enrich them into the army?" Jiang Xingchen asked, frowned and said, "I actually have this kind of thought. But those sand thieves are very rebellious and not easy to train!"
Tang Chuxue laughed: "I have led the troops for many years, so naturally there is a way to convince them."
"Yes, you were the commander of the first legion back then. Even Zhao Danqing's mother could train 3,000 security team members successfully. You are even more fine!" Jiang Xingchen giggled and flattered his wife.
Tang Chuxue felt sweet as honey, and chuckled with his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xingchen gently, as if water was about to drip out of his eyes.
"This is not a goddess, she is just a seductive fairy!" Jiang Xingchen swallowed his saliva and quietly pinched Tang Chuxue's little hand under the table.
Tang Chuxue struggled lightly, glanced at Jiang Xingchen coquettishly, and immediately turned back to a serious and serious look: "You have to hurry up this matter. Come with me when I am sending Yuanshi. Xingchen, write a letter to Haksu... There is another thing!"
"What else is there?" Jiang Xingchen kneaded Tang Chuxue's little hands, his tone a little tired.
"Puchi!" Mei'er, who was sitting beside him, covered her mouth and chuckled. It was really funny that such a big man spoke in a coquettish tone.
Tang Chuxue blushed, pulled back his hand vigorously, and said, "Our maritime power needs to be strengthened, so we can't always point to the Wang family in Linhai City."
"That's true!" Jiang Xingchen nodded: "The two major ports on the mainland, the curse land, the island chain of Mingque Island, and the several major concessions on Chongming Island all need maritime power to protect. Liuji Tree Island cannot always rely on black waves, and overseas trade needs to be further increased. He is preparing to find a grain base overseas.
"After a plague on Mingque Island, the prestige of Xingchen Leader has been established. You can recruit sailors from there and let the Mu family or the Wang family train!" Tang Chuxue said.
"I think so too. I will write a letter to the Wang family and the fourth child in a while and ask them to start handling. As for the person in charge, Chuxue, please arrange the manpower!" Jiang Xingchen said.
After Tang Chuxue responded, Mei'er spoke: "Sister Chuxue has finished talking about it! Brother, I have something to tell you!"
"Is it about personnel arrangements?" Jiang Xingchen grabbed Mei'er's hand again.
Not only did Mei'er not hide, she scratched his palm gently, showing a charming smile: "It's about resources!"
"This girl is getting more and more attractive!" Jiang Xingchen swallowed his saliva.
"Sister Xianning told me that our magnets are almost used up!" Mei'er said.
"So quickly, I shipped back a lot last time!" Jiang Xingchen was a little surprised.
"There are a lot of them transported back, and there are many available. Experiments, generator sets, transformers... some of the magnets are scrapped, and several bases are divided into one more... Now there are not many large pieces of magnets left!"
"That's the case, then arrange to go into the mountain and transport another batch. When Xianning comes back, there is no need to be such a troublesome thing. I will talk to her about this matter!" Jiang Xingchen said.
Mei'er nodded and continued to report: "Due to the planning of the two railway lines of Dali and Daqin, our steel production scale has been further increased, and the manganese ore resources in Xuanyuan Tianzong are somewhat unable to keep up... The output of hematite ore in other major kingdoms has gradually declined, and it seems that it is going to be dug! Once our iron ore is gone, the cost will increase significantly... In addition, the alkali ore in the Dachen Kingdom is about to disappear, which is an important raw material for our glass production!"
After Mei'er said that, Jiang Xingchen fell into deep thought. Hematite was easy to deal with. The key was manganese ore and alkaline ore, which was really not easy to find.
"Let's do it, let's go and find the unmanned areas first, and try to find the unmanned areas first. If we don't have enough staff, we will hire a mercenary group." Jiang Xingchen said.
"It's too expensive to ask for a mercenary group!" Mei'er frowned.
"When did you become Grandpa Fu?" Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do. Looking for minerals requires experience. There are not many such people, and they need to be dispersed. One person is responsible for a large area. They all need protection from unmanned areas. We do not have that much force for the time being, so we can only hire a mercenary group."
After the words came, Jiang Xingchen stretched, then looked at the two beautiful wives with their eyes lit up: "It's over, we should rest!"
The two women's faces were slightly red, please spat: "It's getting more and more debauchery!"
Looking at the two beautiful women, Jiang Xingchen became more and more itchy. Today might be the day when his wish is fulfilled.
"Brother, Sister Chuxue, you guys have a rest!" Mei'er stood up first and prepared to leave.
"Mei'er, you'd better stay. I just remembered that I hadn't finished my work!" Tang Chuxue also stood up and stopped Mei'er.
"I have a lot of jobs too...ah!" As soon as Mei'er was halfway through, she was pulled into her arms by Jiang Xingchen and whispered: "Little girl, you have a lot of work. Where did you get so many jobs? You have been busy for more than ten days. You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight!"
Seeing this, Tang Chuxue was about to leave, but before her legs could be stepped out, Jiang Xingchen stopped the door: "Chuxue, don't leave!"
The two women instantly understood his plan. From the day of their wedding, he had thought that the three of them were sleeping together.
They were still resistant. They could face Jiang Xingchen alone, but the three of them were too embarrassed to refuse. But when they saw Jiang Xingchen looking hopeful, they couldn't bear it, and at the same time they felt a little itchy, and they all wanted to stay. After all, there was no intimate relationship in more than ten days.
When Jiang Xingchen saw that there was a door, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He said shameless words such as a treasure, and led the two girls to the inner room. The two girls wanted to refuse and welcomed him, and followed him step by step.
But just as I was about to enter the inner room, a bang knock suddenly sounded.
Tang Chuxue and Mei'er were startled and immediately pulled their hands back and took a step back.
"Damn!" Jiang Xingchen had the intention to kill people, and was about to get what he wanted, but it was destroyed at the critical moment.
"Who, do you have a public moral character? Don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Jiang Xingchen shouted angrily.
"Sister Princess!" Xiaomei and Xiaoyu cried at the door.
When Mei'er heard the crying, her expression changed drastically. She went to the door and opened the door. She saw two little girls with pear blossoms and tears flowing down her face.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Mei'er asked quickly, and she was more timid than her own sister to these two girls.
"Fox, our white fox is missing!" Xiaomei and Xiaoyu pounced on Mei'er's arms and burst into tears. (To be continued.)
