Chapter 148 Chapter 148
With sufficient manpower, the pressure on Xu Ji's side is much less.

But she did not treat the sergeants who came to work badly. Not only did she take good care of food, but she also gave each of them two taels of silver per month.

The sergeants followed her with great enthusiasm. After two months of work, everyone became stronger.

The training was not over either, Xie Qing led the inspection department to patrol day and night to prevent accidents from happening, and if there was a shortage of manpower, they would temporarily step in.

The sergeants saw that their training was very methodical, so they became competitive and competed with each other for a few games.

If it is about fighting alone, Xie Qing is naturally far ahead, but if it is about teamwork, the Inspection Division is still slightly inferior.

In the process of learning from each other, everyone cherished each other, and the relationship was very good, and each other improved each other.

Although the Inspection Division has a small number of manpower, they are better equipped. If they really fight hard, it is no problem to resist three or five hundred elite soldiers.

The sergeants often used clichés and wanted to ask how they got such excellent weapons.

Xie Qing's subordinates are well-mannered, and the inspection department is very tight-lipped. If they can't get what they want, they will report it layer by layer.

Luo Hongzhang knew that Xu Ji had a guard in his hand, and he was equipped with weapons. He also knew that their weapons were better than those in the army.

But I thought it was bought by others in the capital, and I didn't take it to heart. When I learned that they had hidden weapons with better lethality, I couldn't sit still.

Luo Hongzhang came to look for Xu Ji in person.

At that time, Xu Ji was assembling water trucks with others, Luo Hongzhang took his soldiers to help, and asked her if there was anything else she needed to do.

Xu Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead. The weather is getting hotter and the water shortage in the ground is getting worse. Finally, all the canals excavated recently have been opened, and the water truck can be set up to arrange irrigation.

Moreover, I heard from experienced local farmers that there should be rain in the next few days. I hope that it will not only alleviate the drought, but also effectively replenish the water in the river.

Due to working in the open air all day long, she was tanned quite a bit, but her figure became taller, and her eyes became darker and brighter, calm and cold.

She looked up at Luo Hongzhang, and said in a steady voice, "Didn't General Luo come to ask for help?"

Luo Hongzhang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Before, the general was not doing his job properly, so he asked Princess Haihan. The general just wanted to feast his eyes. As for whether the princess is willing to help, it is up to the princess to decide."

Sister Wen was nearby, seeing Xu Ji stop, hurried over to deliver water.

Xu Ji drank some water, smoothed his forehead hair that was wet with sweat, and said lightly: "I didn't do this for myself.

"So General Luo doesn't need to press me with words like 'benefit the whole army' or 'benefit the people'."

"The general is ashamed," Luo Hongzhang said with heat on his face, "the general dare not. It's just that the general, as a general, knows the importance of weapons on the battlefield.

"That's why I learned that the princess has excellent weapons here, so I couldn't help but ask for a look."

Xu Ji glanced at him again, the general in front of him was about thirty years old, tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a dignified appearance, he was a good match for Zhan Qingyun...

She smiled and asked, "Do you think that I'm narrow-minded and I hate you for not trusting me before, so I will definitely make things difficult for you?"

Luo Hongzhang was embarrassed, how can he answer this?
"I do hold grudges very much," Xu Ji said frankly, "but it's not so small. If you want to see it, then watch it. You can't imitate it anyway."

Luo Hongzhang smiled wryly, Princess Wancheng really has an unforgiving mouth.
