Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Li Yuan didn't ask her what she wanted to do, but just asked, "How many people does Qi Niang need? I'll call them for you."

Wei Qiqi knew that he wanted to assign some useful and capable people to her, and shook her head: "I am looking for people who used to do hard labor. Since they are hard laborers, they must be some opportunistic and cunning people who do it, and I think the effect will be better if they do it."

Li Yuan was surprised, met Wei Qiqi's gaze, and immediately understood what she meant.

Although I don't know what Qinnan wants people to do, this way I can kill two birds with one stone.

It not only solved her employment problem, but also eliminated the problem of people on his side trying to shirk their responsibilities by being cunning and lazy.

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Yuan then called out the people he had scolded, and assigned Jian Yu and Dai Jiangong, who had been at the front of the team, to go with them.

He also asked the other centurions to catch those who had been lazy under their command and hand them over to Wei Qiqi.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Yuan asked with his head lowered and his eyes looked timid, but the brothers in front of him looked a little terrified.

On the one hand, he felt that Li Yuan's situation was no less than seeing a ghost, and on the other hand, he looked at Wei Qiqi angrily, and he couldn't take his eyes off Wei Qiqi.

Wei Qiqi led about thirty people and walked towards the back mountain from the middle of the mountain.

These people were still a little confused when they were assigned here, but seeing that Li Yuan was very respectful to Wei Qiqi, they all behaved in a proper manner.

The main reason is that she is too beautiful, which makes these people obey her orders involuntarily.

Jian Yu and Dai Jiangong each protected Wei Qiqi in the middle, and the group returned to the back mountain.

When these people saw that the wasteland on the back mountain had been reclaimed in such a short period of time, it looked as if the land had been completely plowed over.

Is this a possible thing?

Some of these thirty-plus people were originally brothers from Jiguanshan, so the scene before them brought them a great shock.

They are not unaware of the difficulties of reclaiming wasteland.

Otherwise, we would not have been demanding high prices for grain from farmers in several villages at the foot of Jiguan Mountain over the years.

It has been reclaimed now?!

Before they could see enough, Wei Qiqi continued to move forward. Dai Jiangong behind her glanced back and hummed, causing those people to quickly turn their heads.

Following Wei Qiqi through many twists and turns, we finally met Yang Qingbai on the road. He was directing people to confirm the route.

"Yang Qingbai, I've brought the people here. Let's start today."

Her words undoubtedly hit the mark of Yang Qingbai, as if as long as they followed Wei Qiqi, they would be willing to work day and night.

Working with her is just too addictive.

"Today would be fine, the sooner the better." She said this while looking at the person behind her with fiery eyes.

The few people that Yang Qingbai had targeted looked at each other, not knowing what would greet them.

"Row."

There was no problem with Yang Qingbai's side, so Wei Qiqi just did it with confidence.

When they arrived at the place, there were already more than a dozen people standing there waiting, some of whom were pulled out from the water-carrying team.

When they heard that a canal was going to be built, they would not have to walk such a long way to get water nearby, and they were eager to get the job done right away.

"Okay, from now on, you will be responsible for digging a canal about this long and this wide. We are going to divert water from this river to the fields."

“I hope you guys can do better and do it as soon as possible.”

Wei Qiqi said this to the people brought from Li Yuan. She spoke with a smile, but her words made people feel that they were about to face suffering.

They soon learned that this idea was not false.

The first few people used plows and curved plows to clear the way, digging away the gravel and weeds so that the people behind could use pickaxes and hoes to dig the river channel.

Once things start, follow-up will follow in an endless stream.

Li Yuan sent more and more people, and Wei Qiqi stayed by their side. Except for her and Ye Yuanxin, everyone else including Jianyu, Dai Jiangong and Yang Qingbai went down.

In just half a day, they had dug out a distance of more than ten meters.

Li Yuan kept sending people over later. Wei Qiqi kept the original people and asked the new people to do the same work. It didn't take long before these people who came from Li Yuan changed from being ignorant at the beginning to being numb and dull.

These people repeated the same actions and soon became exhausted. With the centurions setting an example, they couldn't even find any reason to be lazy.

Some people even began to miss the previous training, which at least gave them time to rest after completing it and allowed them to learn new things. But after coming here, they basically knew nothing except waving the things in their hands.

This boring action gradually made these people feel regretful, and they just wondered why they were lazy before.

Their thoughts can be easily understood from their expressions.

Wei Qiqi, who was originally in charge of logistics, at least asked someone to exchange them. For these people, they were brought here to be punished.

Perhaps they could not understand the good intentions of these centurions and Li Yuan, but Wei Qiqi believed that as long as they went to the battlefield one day, they would understand and be grateful to those who had been harsh on them.

That will be their life-saving talisman.

After half a day, Wei Qiqi gave them time to rest and it was time for lunch.

Since there is no perfect logistics system at present, only a few people are left in the kitchen to help prepare some big pot meals for specific people. Others have to eat what they catch themselves and make their own fire and cook.

As a result, those who have just finished the work are now so exhausted that they can't move at all.

Wei Qiqi didn't intend to make things difficult for them with food, so she asked the people who had stopped weeding to prepare food and drinks and bring them to them.

After finishing their work, their stomachs were empty, and the food that was served made them so obsessed that they wanted to stuff their bodies into the rice bucket.

After letting them rest for half an hour after eating, Wei Qiqi asked them to get back to work.

They continued to do this over and over again until it was dark and visibility became impaired. They had already dug a 50-meter-long pit.

These fifty meters were particularly precious on the first day.

Wei Qiqi knew that as long as they cooperated well, the results would double on the second day.

This went on for three days in a row, and the people who participated in digging the pit were basically in a state of being pale, coming in standing up and leaving sideways.

But the effect is very significant.

Wei Qiqi did not intend to just take advantage of these people. He asked them to go back to Li Yuan and ask Li Yuan to send some more people to replace them.

By the way, replace all the people in the logistics department here to prevent them from working themselves to death.

The new people also complained at first, but they soon stopped caring about it.

Because they were so tired that they couldn't even utter a word and could only wave the things in their hands mechanically.

While they were digging the canal, Wei Qiqi asked Yang Qingbai to sow the seeds so that the seeds could be planted now, and both sides worked at the same time.
