Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

He is good at killing people, but now he is in charge of a region. Isn't that a bit too much to ask?

Moreover, in these three counties, especially Hailing County, officials were either killed or injured, or fled or surrendered.

Recruiting officials? Forget it, let the remaining officials be busy now.

How could she, a modern person who knows nothing, deal with this mess?

I don't know if Mo Ye understands all this, but think about it. He comes from a military family and has been wandering around in the martial arts world for many years. I'm afraid he is not good at governing this place.

Moreover, the original seat of the prefect of Jinghai City in Chongchuan County is still in the hands of the Japanese pirates, and the prefect's mansion is still occupied by the Japanese pirates.

Apart from Wu Baipeng who was appointed a few days ago, he is now the governor without any troops...

What is available now and what can be done?

What do the people need?

Xia Qin thought quickly.

She kept thinking like this, and her brain did not stop even after she returned to the manor and had lunch.

"Sister!" Xiao Yu'er came back at some point, "What are you thinking about?"

"Xiao Yu? Aren't you in the army? Why are you back so early?"

"There is no war and no casualties, so Brother Jinyu asked me to come back to accompany you," Xiaoyu looked at Xia Qin and asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about when you look so sad? Let me, the military doctor, give you some advice."

Xia Qin gently rubbed Xiaoyu's chubby face: "Sister is thinking, what are the people in Hailing County lacking now, and what can I do."

"Food, seeing so many people starving to the point of skin and bones, I feel embarrassed to stay in the county," Xiaoyu said, looking at his fat body with a guilty look, "Yes, and a place to live! It's so cold at night, and many people are living outside!"

Correct!

Xiaoyu's words made Xia Qin suddenly enlightened. At this moment, she had been thinking about how to carry out reforms and how to learn the modern system.

The top priority is to satisfy the people’s needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Now there is no shortage of people and food. She has no idea about clothing and transportation, but food and transportation are within her ability.

Let’s get started right away, starting from Hailing County!

After thinking it over, she immediately pulled Xiaoyu and ran towards Hailing County.

"Sister, where are you going?"

"Go to the county government office and find a map of Hailing County!"

"Map?" Xiaoyu took out a yellow-brown paper from his arms, "Is this it?"

I stopped and opened it. It was indeed a map of Hailing County, and each village, road and river was clearly marked on it.

"Where did you get this?" Xia Qin's brows were full of joy. She was worried that the county government office had been occupied by Japanese pirates for so long, and she wondered whether she could find the map inside.

"My master gave it to me. The distribution locations of various herbs are marked on it." Xiaoyu was a little proud.

This is enough!

Thinking in her mind, Xia Qin pulled Xiaoyu to the secret room of the manor and compared and studied the sand table of Jinghai City and the map of Hailing County.

Hailing County is located in the eastern part of Jinghai City. It is the largest of the seven counties in Jinghai City. It is connected to Zishi in the north, Zhishui in the west, the sea in the east, and Chongchuan County, the center of the entire Jinghai City, in the south.

She kept searching the map and selected several locations.

"Let's go!" Xia Qin pulled Xiaoyu out again.

"Leave again?" Xiaoyu's chubby body could no longer hold on. "Sister, where are we going again?"

"Go find a place to build a house!"

An hour later, Xia Qin finally found a location she liked.

There are dozens of acres of woods, a large piece of abandoned farmland, and several small rivers running through it, so transportation is quite convenient.

perfect!

"Let's do it here!" Xia Qin was very satisfied with this location.

Xiaoyu asked in confusion, "Sister, what's here?"

"Let's build a new village here for the refugees to settle down!" Xia Qin's eyes sparkled, "It will also be my sister's experimental field in the future!"

"Experimental fields?" Xiaoyu didn't understand what Xia Qin meant at all. "Sister, you're not going to be a governor anymore, so you're going to farm?"

"Xiaoyu will know later. Call Brother Huo and the others, and let's go to the county town!"

Next to the Hailing County government office, recruitment was still in full swing.

Next to the recruitment site, there were many people with depressed faces.

They were rejected by the army because of their age, height or size.

Joining the army is tax-free and provides military pay, which is indeed a good choice for the common people, especially those refugees.

"Xiaoyan? Xiaoyu? Why are you here again? Is there something wrong?" Mu Jinyu asked in a low voice when he saw Xia Qin looking around.

Xia Qin smiled mischievously: "Brother, I plan to recruit some workers to build a house. Those refugees you eliminated will do."

"Build a house?" Mu Jinyu didn't know what strange idea his sister had, but he immediately came up with a solution, "Then I'll ask the recruitment office to gather those county residents and refugees who don't meet the requirements to another place?"

"Then I'll trouble you, brother." It seemed easier than he thought. "I'll ask Brother Huo to help choose."

"Miss," Huo Jinying scratched his head. He was also confused. "What kind of craftsman should we choose?"

"They don't have to be craftsmen, as long as they are healthy," Xia Qin thought for a moment, "recruit those who have no fixed place to live, and tell them that they will be guaranteed food and drink for their family while they work, but there will be no other compensation."

"Yes, Miss, how many workers do we need to recruit?"

"No more than five hundred people."

The efficiency was very fast. Two days later, three hundred people gathered at the location selected by Xia Qin.

In addition to the 300 recruited laborers, there were also dozens of craftsmen including the veteran craftsman Lu Cheng.

"Mr. Lu, the following matters are left to you." Xia Qin was very confident in Lu Cheng's abilities.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although there are many houses to be built, they are all civil structures. They are very simple." Lu Cheng looked at the crowd of people. "With so many workers, it will be completed in less than half a month."

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Lu and several old craftsmen." Xia Qin was very polite to Lu Cheng.

In this way, the major project guided by Lu Cheng and supervised by Huo Jinying and others began.

Lu Cheng led his men to adjust the address and planned the layout of the entire new village according to Xia Qin's idea.

At the same time, he divided the workers into two groups.

Yibo excavated column base stones several miles away to use as foundations, and at the same time cut down large trees in the nearby woods to prepare timber.

Another wave began to prepare various rammed earth and mortars.

Since the houses being built were very simple, apart from the foundation and structure, everything else was hard work and everything went very smoothly.

Seven days passed, and Xia Qin was very happy to see that the new village had taken shape.

It’s such a great sense of accomplishment.

"Mr. Lu, let's build some shops in front of the new village," Xia Qin said as she looked at it, using her imagination, "and dig some wells, and build a larger mansion at the northernmost part of the village. Father can't live in that manor after all."

Just as she was bursting with inspiration, a thin figure suddenly appeared in front of her, giving her a fright.

How could he come to her silently in broad daylight? She looked carefully and found that it was the little boy who often followed Mo Ye, A Gui.

"Sister-in-law," Ah Gui said in a calm tone with urgent news, "There are Japanese masters coming to the vicinity of Hailing County. Before leaving, Brother Mo Ye said that he would tell you as soon as there is any unusual movement around."

"Ah?" Xia Qin asked hurriedly after hearing the news, "Japanese masters? What are they doing here?"

Ah Gui shook his head: "I'm not sure about that. Their movement direction should be the border between Hailing County and Zhishui County. Sister-in-law, please be careful."

Junction?

Xia Qin's heart tightened, oh no!
