Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

Qingshan sorted out everything and then came to find Su Chengnan.

"Miss, please take a moment to speak."

"it is good."

Seeing his serious expression, Su Chengnan waved to Aunt Chen and asked her to go back.

The two walked to the side, and Qingshan lowered his voice and said, "I just received news that after the death of Luocheng City Lord Yin Minghua, the uncle of the emperor has sent people there, and the new city lord has brought troops with him."

Su Chengnan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong. "The uncle's people, aren't they the empress dowager's people? What's the difference?"

Qingshan hesitated for a moment and said simply, "The relationship between them is not as good as the rumors say."

"After all, there's the emperor between us, right?"

Qingshan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Su Chengnan already understood.

If this uncle's heart is on the throne, then the spearhead is naturally directed at the capital. But if he is obeying the Queen Mother's orders, will the Queen Mother destroy her own country? Definitely not!

She pinched her little finger unconsciously, turned around and asked, "Mincheng is inaccessible, maybe we can take a detour?"

"There's no way around it." Qingshan shook his head and sighed.

Su Chengnan frowned and began to get anxious again. Since ancient times, what did people rely on to march, fight and seize power? It was men, money, food, war horses and weapons.

If they want to be safe, all of these are indispensable. Far water cannot quench a nearby fire. The border is too far away, so we must first solve the problem at hand.

"The Su family has a retreat near Ningguta. I can give two-thirds of our food to your Beining Army."

"Ms. Miss, are you serious?"

"A word spoken is as good as gold. But I have one condition..."

Qingshan's smile slowly faded, and he asked tentatively, "I wonder how much grain the Su family has stored?"

Su Chengnan calculated the space's food production rate in his mind and took a gamble: "It can be at least ten times more than the current amount of food."

That’s a lot.

Qingshan believed in Su Chengnan's character, and he believed even more that Su Weimin, the old fox, would not be completely unprepared.

He felt relieved and asked, "Miss, what are your conditions? Please tell me directly."

Su Chengnan cleared his throat and said with a stern look in his eyes, "Take out the food we have now and use it as work-for-relief. Let the refugees work for us."

"doing what?"

"Chopping wood to build carts, whittling wooden arrows, anything."

Qingshan didn't dare to make a decision on his own. "The prince is not here, I need to discuss this matter with others."

"Yes, but quickly."

"Give me two hours."

"An hour."

"it is good."

Qingshan bowed and said goodbye, then turned and went to Ashun's tent. As he walked, he asked someone to invite Xu Bo and several captains in the car team.

After a while, someone came to invite Sun Liangyuan again.

Sun Liangyuan asked Goudan to recite the book by himself, and greeted Su Chengnan when he passed by her.

Su Chengnan bowed to him and went to the porridge stall on his own.

"Miss Fairy, can I get two bowls of porridge to give to my parents?" Goudan caught up.

"OK."

She took the ladle from the porridge maker and scooped two bowls for him herself. "Can you call Liuzi for me later?"

"Okay! I'll go now."

"Send the porridge first."

"It's okay, I'll call someone to bring it back."

Goudan ran away in a flash. When the refugees who were queuing for porridge saw her, many of them were stunned.

Su Chengnan felt that her appearance had been somewhat affected, so she returned the spoon to the servant and went to the carriage to ask the maid to bring her a veil. The white veil covered her face, but it made her look even more extraordinary.

Liuzi's legs have gotten much better and he no longer needs a cane, but he walks so fast that his posture looks a little strange.

"Miss, did you call me?"

"Ah."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Liuzi was very impressed by Su Chengnan. The blueprint for the wheelchair was exquisite, much more ingenious than he had imagined before. Although the two were made in a hurry, he was sure he could make a more sophisticated one if he had the chance in the future.

"If I give you enough manpower, can you quickly produce a batch of flatbed trucks and weapons?"

"The car is fine, as long as we have the materials. But the weapons?"

Su Chengnan could feel his puzzled gaze even through the veil. She thought about it, turned around and went to the carriage, then got off. In fact, she used the action to take out a model made by Su Weimin according to the video from the space.

"for you."

"what is this?"

Liuzi took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp!

"Is this a bamboo crossbow?"

"Yes."

"Miss, I can't do this. We are carpenters, and we can't master the delicate bamboo weaving skills."

Su Chengnan pondered for a moment, "Then let's build the car first, that's no problem, right?"

"no problem!"

"Okay. I'll try to get you the materials later. Do you have enough tools?"

"We have five brothers with us. Just give each of us three or four people to help us."

"Got it. Then go eat first. Eat your fill, and we'll be busy from now on."

"Yes, ma'am."

Su Chengnan put the model of the bamboo crossbow into his sleeve, looked at the bamboo forest around him, and began to wonder where to find such a talent.

If we give refugees food, they should produce corresponding value. This is a healthy relationship. Otherwise, if they just wait for others to feed them, they may become enemies instead of being well fed.

Work-for-relief is the best solution she can think of at the moment, which can not only strengthen herself but also allow them to survive.

"Miss Su."

There was a noise behind him, and Su Chengnan turned around to find that it was Qingshan coming over. He had a smile on his face, and it seemed to be good news.

"how?"

"We agreed. At the same time, after discussion, we all agreed that peace and prosperity might not last long, so work-for-relief still needed to be primarily based on weapons."

"Is there a blacksmith in the team?"

"Have!"

Su Chengnan had only casually asked, but she hadn't expected Lu Chaofeng to actually be prepared. It was like someone offering a pillow just when you were dozing off.

Qingshan lowered his voice and said, "The prince is afraid of chaos, so he brought several blacksmiths with him, all of whom are prepared to stay in Beiling in case of emergency."

"Call them over to meet me later. I actually have something suitable for them to make."

She handed over the model. Qingshan was also proficient in various weapons. He immediately discovered its wonderfulness and smiled happily.

"This thing is great! It's compact and powerful. We don't need to make it too big, just about this size," he gestured with his hand. "That way we can use more materials."

"Okay. You take care of this matter. I'll keep an eye on the carpenter and the refugees."

"Okay! Leave it to me."

"Then let's act now."

"it is good."

Su Chengnan is a man of action, especially now when every second counts.

She had someone put up a sign at the porridge stall that said "Work for Porridge." She then had someone cut a piece of fine silk cloth to serve as the exchange token and explained her requirements to everyone.

The first bowl of porridge is free. If you want a second bowl or steamed buns, you have to pay for it with your strength and labor.

At this time, someone asked: "What if you don't admit it?"
