The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 77

Go to Youzhou and Bianzhou to make money.

Ran Tong only told Zhang Peng about this decision. Apart from "waiting for death", the most important thing she has to do now is to arm herself.

Only when he is strong can the manor grow up, and Ran Tong's way of becoming strong is also very simple.

Workbench system!
Ran Tong's first main task has not yet been completed. Looking at the description of the main task, although Chengjing's hotpot restaurant industry has a lot of silver taels, but if he wants to get 1 taels of silver, You can't rely on hot pot restaurants alone.

"Main task - [accumulate more], task description: accumulatively obtain 10000 taels of silver, and the current progress is 1895/10000."

She needs to see what rewards she can get after completing the main mission.

"My lord, I'm going."

Half an hour later, Zhang Peng led a group of people and went south cautiously.

Before leaving, he asked Ran Tong something.

"My lord, what should we do if we meet deserters fleeing to us in Youzhou and Bianzhou...?"

Hearing Zhang Peng's question, Ran Tong did not hesitate at all.

"bring back!"

"Order!"

Led by Zhang Peng, he left with more than 30 brothers. In order to avoid encountering robbers on the road, these brothers held sharpened steel knives in their hands.

They act cautiously, even if there is no one around and hundreds of kilometers of desolate people, they are all prepared to encounter the enemy at any time... After all, for the upcoming "war", all the people in the manor Everyone tacitly agreed that they would meet the prairie people by default.

Quite a few people didn't even dare to think about this place. The manor seemed to be still thriving, and it was not difficult for Ran Tong to find that there was an uncomfortable atmosphere in it.

Next, just wait!
As for what to wait for, in the entire manor, only Ran Tong himself has a definition.

Not only was she waiting for the people from the prairie to call, she was also waiting for news from Zhang Peng!
"Money...money..."

Ran Tong felt bald.

……

Five days later.

Early in the morning, Ran Tong woke up with his eyes open as usual. The City Lord's Mansion in the center of the manor was still under construction in an orderly manner. Although it still looked slow, for the productive people in this period, it was still fast. that's it.

She glanced at the manor, and many children carrying textbooks and benches entered the classroom in an orderly manner under the guidance of Ah Qin and the old master, and the two old doctors beside them also started today's consultation.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Ran Tong suddenly saw the closed city gate open!
"crunch..."

A harsh door opening stopped the whole manor, and the old master and the old doctors all ran out and stretched their necks to look outside the city gate.

Ran Tong just wanted to open the workbench system to see the completion of the main task, but she couldn't control so much at this time, so she ran out with the hem of her clothes.

It's Zhang Peng who's back!

But as soon as he reached the door, Ran Tong froze in place.

When leaving, Zhang Peng’s team was packed with only 30 people, but when they came back...

Ran Tong looked at the crowd covering the open space in front of her, and she couldn't help swallowing dryly.

A team of 2000 people stood in the open space outside the city gate.

"Lord Lord!"

Seeing the city gate open, Zhang Peng quickly got off his horse.

"My lord, these people were all brought back from the famine in the two prefectures of You and Bian along the way," Zhang Peng said.

Ran Tong supported his forehead.

"Second brother, you brought back too much!"

But at the same time, Ran Tong also knew that the situation in the two prefectures of You and Bian had fallen to such a point that in just a few days, so many people fleeing from famine came to the northern region from where they used to live. The ecology of the two states has changed.

The group of refugees looked at the majestic city gate and moved closer together for a while, surrounded by some hostile-looking masters, they were not quite sure where they had come.

"Mom... I, I'm afraid." In the crowd, a little girl who looked only six or seven years old held her mother's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, mother is..."

In the city, looking at all kinds of men, women and children in front of him, Ran Tong's eyes gradually brightened.

Because compared to the previous round, the wasteland running brigade this time was several grades higher not only in terms of complexion and state, but also clothing and distribution of young men.

Among them, young people even account for the majority.

Zhang Peng glanced back at these people and said in a low voice.

"My lord, I also think it's too much. Will the food in the manor not be able to support these people..."

After listening to Zhang Peng's words, Ran Tong shook his head.

Although the ingredients in the manor are limited, there is still a lot of food brought back from the convoy that was traded by Chengjing and Shangguan Yuce before, and the storage is also very scientific, and it will not consume too much in a short time, and it will not be too much food for the time being. Worry more.

"Second brother, I think... because of the matter of the prairie people, we will avoid going out in the days to come. These refugees will trouble you and the generals to settle down. After the expansion of the manor, many facilities and buildings are being built. No matter how many people come, it can be accommodated, but there are too many people, so don’t worry about food, but still be careful, there are too many refugees, so don’t mess up.”

Ran Tong looked at these people: "And we must make the best use of everything. Many young people among these people let them invest in construction. Take it to class, and the older ones should be careful not to let them bump into each other."

After Ran Tong talked for a while, Zhang Peng nodded repeatedly.

Finally, Ran Tong thought of something.

"Second brother, where's the money?"

After the words fell, Zhang Peng slapped his forehead.

"Here it is!"

More than a dozen brothers pulled two carriages with several wooden boxes on them.
