Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 111 Busy
Gongsun Yan didn't know what happened at the banquet after she left. She only knew that the next day, everyone, including Zhao Yun, treated Zhao Xi with utmost respect.

It is said that Tian Kai took Zhao Xi to sleep last night.

Today, Xia Houlan competed for the spot to sleep in, so Zhao Yun had to move to the back.

He had some understanding of people's thirst for knowledge in this era, but Gongsun Yan, who had never experienced it personally and could not empathize with it, could only sigh with emotion and let it go.

Zhao Xi needs time to learn and adapt to the simulation. She can only give some instructions through the system, but it is not full control.

So she was happy to see everyone sincerely accept Zhao Xi and help Zhao Xi learn and grow.

At the same time, she is also happy to see that her subordinates can get close to each other, even though Zhao Xi is a bit special.

Gongsun Yan was sitting in the mezzanine on the left side of the main city of Lone Bamboo. Several tall tables and chairs made according to her wishes were already placed.

There was a large stove in it, and the charcoal fire burning inside dispelled the chill of early spring.

No spices were used in the house, the main courtyard had been empty since it was built, and the air was filled with a faint, damp musty smell.

Gongsun Yan's desk is placed on the window edge, and the window is covered with several layers of plain gauze.

The window is open, and the caisson in the courtyard can be seen.

There are also simple pottery pots containing several pots of green plants in the house.

At this time, in Gongsun Yan's elegant little study, more than a dozen stewards, headed by steward Zhou Xing, moved bamboo slips and documents in and out.

This should have been done yesterday.

Inventory of treasury, counting of acres of land, enumeration of household population, resettlement of hundreds of workers, etc.

After the inventory, large-scale adjustments needed to be made according to Gongsun Yan's ideas, so the entire manor had been busy since early in the morning.

After research in the morning, Gongsun Yan decided to build the system warehouse next to the original Guzhu Manor warehouse.

A wide loess road was originally opened there because of the frequent need to collect supplies, which also saved her the trouble of having to build a new road.

Zhao Xizheng was taking several stewards to check the inventory in the treasury. In addition to checking the quantity, he also needed to arrange for manpower to clear out the old rice and grain, rotten farm tools, etc. that had been in the treasury for other uses.

After the inventory of the original treasury was completed, they immediately strengthened the defense and ordered the village's Baigong carpenters to start felling wood and leveling the land in preparation for building a new warehouse.

This kind of work would take more than a month for others, but for Zhao Xi, it only takes a few days.

Zhou Xing, who had already admired him to the point of admiration, was not surprised by this. To him, Mr. Zhao was such a capable person.

Zhou Xing even shamelessly sent his eldest son, Zhou Jing, to be Zhao Xi's assistant, giving him advice, watching and learning from him.

Zhou Xing himself took a few assistants to bring in the accounting books and household registration lists early in the morning, and began to check them with Gongsun Yan.

Neither Zhao Yun nor Xia Houlan had time to spare. The two of them got up early in the morning, took the map, and divided into two groups to inspect the village walls and defensive passes.

Record places that are in disrepair, decay, or have been vandalized, or defense holes that need to be filled in time.

After that, Gongsun Yan would recruit laborers from the shade houses to expand the warehouse and rebuild the village wall.

Only Tian Kai and Gongsun Yan were worried about his health and did not dare to let him work as hard as yesterday. They only asked him to be responsible for the group of people currently detained in Xishan Camp.

Of the Wuhuan people captured in the previous battle at Yangqiuli, no one would waste medicines to treat them after the war, and those who survived were all transferred to the Xishan camp.

The system reminded Gongsun Yan several times that she violated the system's humanitarian rescue rules when it came to rescuing prisoners, but she deliberately ignored them.

In her values, showing humanity to these executioners is a secondary harm to the dead villagers in Yangqiuli.

She is not a person who is very good at thinking about the past, future and philosophy. She only knows that these people who have raised a butcher knife against innocent villagers do not deserve to live.

Now wasting rice and food to feed them is just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a funeral.Zhou Xing sat on a high chair in front of Gongsun Yan's desk and moved a little uncomfortably.

He pointed at the bamboo slips unfolded one by one and explained them one by one to Gongsun Yan.

The first is the population. There are a total of 970 households in Lingzhi and Guzhu Manor, with a total of 240 people.

The original population per acre of Guzhu Manor was less than that of Lingzhi Manor, but Gongsun Yan brought nearly [-] households this time. At this time, the population controlled by Guzhu Manor has exceeded that of Lingzhi Manor.

"My dear lady, please see, the number of hundreds of workers and their skills are all here."

Zhou Xing reached for it, picked out a bamboo slip, and unfolded it.

The second half of the bamboo slips is written in new ink, which is obviously the latest record compiled into the bamboo slips.

On the two-finger-wide tablet, a bunch of traditional Chinese numbers were densely recorded in tiny characters, with no punctuation marks.

Gongsun Yan closed his eyes in pain, feeling his head hurt even just looking at it.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xing took the initiative to explain it to her.

According to the records, this Guzhu Manor is actually fully equipped with everything.

In addition to the common smelting blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers, gold and silver households, salt households, and specialized wine making households.

And because of these families of highly skilled winemakers and a first-class well in the manor.

The wine and cheese produced by Lone Bamboo Manor are famous for their quality. Lord Gongsun and his family often send people to ask for the newly brewed cheese.

When he heard that Gongsun was at home, Gongsun Yan clicked his tongue impatiently.

Zhou Xing scratched his sparse hair and looked around, pretending not to hear.

Gongsun Yan wrote down in his notebook: Make wine and build a good well.

Then she drew a circle on these two keywords. Suddenly, she had an idea, thought of something, wrote a few more words next to it, and then raised the corners of her lips.

"Manager Zhou, continue."

In addition to the above-mentioned salt merchants and brewers, there are also four lacquerware craftsmen households in Guzhu Manor, as well as some silk weavers and shepherds.

"My dear lady, please see, this is the craftsmanship of the lacquer master in the village." Zhou Xing pointed to a tea cup on Gongsun Yan's desk.

Gongsun Yan picked it up and watched it with great interest.

This is a piece of wooden lacquerware, black on the outside and red on the inside, decorated with a very exquisite simple fish pattern.

Gongsun Yan had only seen such patterns on unearthed artifacts from later generations. She admired such patterns and craftsmanship, but personally, she didn't like using such tea bowls.

So I didn't pay much attention to this tea bowl at first.

At this time, it feels oily when you hold it in your hand.

Seeing her looking at the tea bowl with appreciation in her eyes, Zhou Xing also felt quite happy.

Although he was determined to get rid of his lowly status, it did not affect his sincere love for the two manors he had built.

At this time, seeing that the products in the store were liked by the owner, he felt proud and happy.

"There is also a Lingluo household in the village." Zhou Xing introduced again.
