Chapter 153

"Uncle Wang Du, I'm sorry."

Leading a group of infantry to examine the talisman at the city gate was a man wearing a standard military uniform with a corner of his right ear missing.

He was not a stranger, so he naturally recognized Wang Wu who was escorting the team.

Wang Wu got off his horse and gave him his hand.

They may not have known each other since they were both in the Baima Yi Cong army in the past, but since Yijing's breakout, the remnants of Baima Yi Cong's troops have been less than [-].

There were both breakouts and big battles, and the soldiers were very skilled and close to each other.

Wang Wu took out the talisman letter from his arms and handed it to the man with missing ears for inspection.

Zhao Yun was very strict in managing the army, and they did not waive the procedures because of their special relationship.

Although he had expected that the person in the car was Mrs. Gongsun, the man with the missing ear was still a little surprised when he actually took the talisman letter and checked it.

Just as he was about to cross the horse to greet him, he saw Wang Wu making a special gesture to him.

This was a code for communication among the military, telling him to keep quiet.

The man with the missing ear was stunned for a moment, then nodded and handed back the talisman letter in his hand as if it were normal, waving his hand and saying, "Pass!"

Wang Wu nodded at him, got on his horse again, and slowly drove into the city with a group of guards protecting Gongsun Yan's motorcade.

Watching them enter the city gate, a soldier came up next to him. When he asked, he was forced back by the superior's stern gaze.

"Next!" The man with missing ears stood in front of the city gate and shouted to the crowd entering the city who were talking about it.

……

At the moment when the two cars entered the gate of Lulong County, Gongsun Yan only saw the small red dot in his right field of vision flashing several times.

She held a small piece of dog biscuit and paused with Gongsun Cheng's hand while teasing the puppy.

She knew the system would never let her take it easy.

In the past, I only occasionally triggered some one-time reward tasks such as spring plowing and improving seeds. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered Lulong County, so many tasks were triggered at once.

Among them is the task of building 30 material points such as Lulongsai Pass.

Before harvest?Gongsun Yan thought about it and poked the puppy that was biting the dog biscuit with his finger.

Since Guzhu has recruited idle farm laborers in the form of taking care of food, various village wall construction projects have been in progress.

Many farmers in the village no longer open fires at home, but come to the construction site to work and eat.

Although this also breeds laziness in some people.

However, because the supervisors were very strict in calculating workers' working hours according to the system, there was no big trouble.

But Gongsun Yan's daily harvest of material points has been increasing, and he is no longer as tight as he was a month ago.

Now she earns more than 30 points a day, so [-] material points doesn't make her too excited.

What concerned her was the time given in the task—autumn harvest.

Gongsun Yan was no longer able to investigate the origin or principle of the system. The mechanism of creating various materials out of thin air and ignoring distance was beyond her ability to figure out.

However, the tasks generally given by the system will never be without aim.

In the old days, the autumn harvest in the North took place in the middle of August on the lunar calendar.But according to convention, the Hu people usually go south in September, but I don’t know whether the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people who will come to Lulongsai by then, or both.

Time is not tight.

As for the mysterious gift package, Gongsun Yan was looking forward to it, but she didn't care that much. The system would only send her bits and pieces.

On the contrary, she paid more attention to the urban construction gift package from Lulong City Construction. She would only make money if she could get building materials such as cement and steel bars.

Building materials such as cement and steel bars are relatively expensive in the system.
After various pilot projects in Guzhu, a small group of reinforced concrete hydraulic workers have been trained. They don't understand the principles of cement, but they can still construct according to the process without any problem.

At that time, Luronsai will be brought in and a group of workers will be brought out. In terms of material supply, plus the thousands of workers originally in Luronsai, it will not be a big problem to build a relatively rough steel-concrete pass.

You can even build the Great Wall of Qin and Chidao by the way.

The more troublesome people now are the soldiers.

There are too few people in Lulong County. Even if they are forced to join the army, they can only get some skinny farmers.

Such soldiers can only be used as cannon fodder when sent to the battlefield.

Now we can only look at what Zhao Yun said before, using the big market to lure them, and the secondment of some workers from various large households in Lulong County went smoothly.

Thinking of Gongsun Yan, he sighed.

Gongsun Cheng had long been used to her sudden daze and sigh. He held the puppy in his arms and opened the curtain to see Lulong County.

Although Lulong County's infrastructure is rubbish, many merchants from aristocratic families have established shops or warehouses in the county.

The car drove past the rickety thatched cottages on the periphery and entered the center.

There were more and more pedestrians on the road. In addition to the traders and footmen in brown short-sleeved shirts, there were also some Confucian scholars with high crowns and rich sleeves, as well as some ragged knights with swords on their waists.

Pedestrians walking through the streets have to finish their business and return home before the streets are locked under the curfew at night.

Wang Wu dismounted and stopped a passerby, asking for the location of the county government office.

The person who was stopped was a little unhappy at first, but Wang Wu and the group of people behind him obediently pointed out the direction.

The government office of Lulong County is located in a relatively prosperous area near the west of the city.

There are buildings with whitewashed walls and red tiles on the left and right, but the government office in the middle is shockingly dilapidated.

Gongsun Yan carefully opened the curtain and took a look.

Although the courtyard wall of the county government office is higher than the building next to it, it is stained with marks, and even the red paint on the gate is peeling off.

If it weren't for the Huan Gate made of two Huan watches and a planting drum in front of the door, it would not be as bright as the trading house on the roadside when we came here.

In the veranda of the county government office, the clerk guarding the government office saw a group of carriages and horses approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

The tone was quite polite.

"I'd like to inform Mr. Zhao County that Guzhu's old friend is here to visit." Wang Wu said politely.

In fact, Wang Wu can be regarded as a nominal meritorious official, but he has never been to the government office, and even if he takes out Yin Sui, he will not be able to stand up to others.

What's more, Gongsun Yan was supposed to marry and observe filial piety, but he appeared here at this time, so it was hard to keep it public.

The young official looked at Wang Wu and others, and asked politely: "May I ask your surname?"

"I, Wang Wu."

"I see. It's a pity that your Majesty came down by accident. Mr. Zhao County went out early in the morning and is not in the house at this time."

In the past few days, the officials at the Yamen Pavilion of this mansion have also received countless people who came to visit with gifts.

Previously, he had accepted some bribes and secretly brought the steward in to report. He was scolded and beaten several times.

My back still hurts a bit today. Although I saw the person coming here with bright clothes and armor, I didn't dare to make any decisions like before, so I just asked a young boy to go ahead and report it.

Not long after the young man entered, he came out in a hurry, followed by a person.
