Chapter 167

When the chief officials and junior officials in the county temple were overjoyed by the sudden summer solstice benefits, they diluted the slightest resentment of working overtime.

Gongsun Yan was not idle either.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the affairs of Guzhu Manor were basically stable, so she moved to Lulong County where she was needed more.

He took over the seal of Lulong County and lived in the residence of the county temple chief, becoming a standard Voldemort and the little mastermind behind the scenes.

But she had just obtained it, and the man who had not yet warmed up his hands led the troops to the Lulongsai Pass with a silver gun.

That will be his main battlefield in the coming months.

Even though he was reluctant and worried, Gongsun Yan still packed his luggage for him.

Lulongsai is a mixed bag. People need to clear all obstacles before the upcoming war. They also need to transfer a large amount of materials to build Lulongsai.

The grain and fodder supplies currently being sent to Lulongsai have used all the transportation capacity that the county can allocate.

The road from Lulong County to Lulongsai has been abandoned for a long time, and the road conditions are so bad that a fully loaded wooden wheel vehicle would have to walk for a day.

Most of the county's coachmen have been hired by the county to ply this route.

There are not even enough vehicles in the city to haul garbage and night fragrance to the farms outside the city.

A few days ago, the system also issued tasks.

In Lulong County, the number of vehicles transporting garbage and night incense outside the city has decreased, and the freight rates have increased accordingly.

Then some unscrupulous residents started littering.

As a result, the city's cleanliness index has dropped, and water sources have even become contaminated. The system requires her to improve as soon as possible.

Gongsun Yan just casually asked if the system would accept night incense, thus directly eliminating the need for a moving middleman.

The system gave her another achievement title.

She also discovered once again that this civilized material system is not civilized at all!

But even after such an incident, the supplies transported were still far from enough, and they were only used to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Among them, construction materials such as cement, sand, gravel and steel bars are directly extracted from the system through the newly built simple warehouse in Luronce.

Zhao Yun directly set up the general's stronghold near this simple warehouse and used the warehouse as a military garrison.

A large amount of materials came in and out, the clerks with pens and swords were rotated regularly, and the account books were kept confidential without anyone checking them, so there was no risk of exposure in a short period of time.

The only flaw is Lone Bamboo.

One is Tian Kai and the other is Zhou Xing.

It is consistent with common sense to have both in and out, but the grain and materials sent out from Lone Bamboo have exceeded the reasonable range.

Although the materials were all handled by Zhao Xi himself, there is still a limit to how much he can pretend to be Gongsun Zan's great secret treasure.

However, given Tian Kai's sophistication and Zhou Xing's understanding of Lone Bamboo Manor, and the continuous flow of supplies from the newly built warehouse, such anomalies should have been noticed long ago.

Gongsun Yan didn't bother to tell more lies to make up for it. This kind of thing would not happen just once. Lying to deceive others was just looking down on other people's intelligence, which was meaningless.

She maintained an ambiguous attitude, neither deceiving nor explaining. She only waited for the right time to see if the situation was a false prophecy and told some of the facts.

In the friend system, the loyalty and friendship of Tian Kai and Zhou Xing have not changed, and she can also prioritize the affairs at hand with peace of mind.

Gongsun Yan sat on the chair and stretched long, putting down the Lulong County household registration list copied from the county temple treasury, as well as the statistics of the number of recruits in various places.

There are more than 4,000 registered households in Lulong, and the total number is only over 20,000.

Currently, the number of young men that can be recruited is only a few thousand.

When he thought about the thousands of soldiers he would come from in the future, Gongsun Yan felt his head hurt.

The vast majority of these recruited soldiers are malnourished and will need adequate logistical supplies for some time.

Gongsun Yan could not do such a thing as handing out a wooden spear to these skinny farmers and then rely on the military commander to force them with swords and guns and send them to the battlefield.

And training according to the standard that she thought was acceptable also had certain requirements on the physical fitness of the soldiers.

What she needs are soldiers with professional qualities, not peasants who will swarm in, burn, kill, and loot when they win, and flee when the casualties exceed 5%.

She can't get involved in this kind of work, just like an unscrupulous party A who only puts forward opinions and leaves the rest to Zhao Yun.

In addition to these thousands of young men, there are actually a large number of old, young, women and children. Gongsun Yan is looking for opportunities to mobilize these labor and material providers.

As long as the more than 20,000 people in Lulong County can stabilize, the material points she obtains every day will increase a lot again.

Once the virtuous cycle starts rolling, the day when she returns to Lingzhi City and chops off the heads of Gongsun Jing and Gongsun Xuan will not be too far away.

Gongsun Yan is a tolerant but vindictive person. He is usually softer, gentler and more reasonable than anyone else.

But if she carefully writes it down in a small notebook, she will be able to hold her grudge for eighteen years.

She rested her elbows on the table and checked the balance of her daily supply points.

No one would have thought that the girl smiling so sweetly under the sunset was planning something right now.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a guard on duty came in to report. Guan Ning, the eldest daughter of the Guan family, asked to see him.

Gongsun looked happy and ordered him to let him go.

Alan, who had been on the small desk next to him, trying hard to copy down the notes one by one, immediately stood up and went to boil water to prepare snacks.

Gongsun Yan explained to her, and then walked to the small open-air garden opened on the right side of the front yard to entertain guests.

Here we transplanted the vines that Gongsun Yan bought from the system and were in their flowering period.

It's a type called fairy tale magic. It's thick and colorful and occupies an entire wall.

Flower varieties of different heights are also planted below, and simple rattan garden tables and chairs are placed.

Under the sunset, the small garden is extremely beautiful.

Gongsun Yan held up the hem of his skirt and sat down on the chair when a beautiful girl with bright eyes walked through the courtyard door.

The girl, who was alone and even the maid was left in the courtyard, saw Gongsun Yan sitting in the garden, and her eyes lit up.

"Ms. Yan." Guan Ning bowed first and walked over.

"sit."

Guan Ning is the eldest daughter of the Guan family. When Guan Yang went out to do business, she took care of the family business and her younger siblings alone.

She is a strong and kind-hearted girl who knows how to measure herself.

In the late Han Dynasty, such a girl might seem a bit flamboyant to others, but to Gongsun Yan she was very pleasing to the eye.

After several contacts, the two girls, who have certain similar characteristics, are in sync with each other and get along well.

After bowing first, Guan Ning stopped being polite and sat directly at Gongsun Yan's side.

Without stopping for a moment, he took out a deed from his sleeve.

"Ms. Yan, the pilot program of the Chamber of Commerce was very successful." Guan Ning's face flushed with excitement.

A few days ago, she and her father were summoned to the county temple together. They met Lady Yan and learned that the county temple would form a chamber of commerce in an official name. Guan Ning knew that there was no need to wait for the changes described by her father. The opportunity was here.

In front of you.
