Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Chapter 13 Everyone performs their duties

When Sheng Changan arrived at the county government office, it was almost midnight, that is, 11 o'clock in the evening. As soon as he arrived at the door, Wu Xiancheng and several others came out and said, "Sir!"

Sheng Changan didn't expect that they hadn't slept yet. Fortunately, she had fallen asleep in the car before. "Let's go to the living room for a meeting." It was just right for her to continue working.

Meeting? What does that mean? But I could hear it clearly in the living room.

After everyone sat down, Sheng Changan began to ask about the situation over the past two days. "How is the matter I told you going? County Magistrate Wu?"

"The seeds have been distributed, and everyone is quite cooperative."

"We've already recruited ten people. They've already gone back after training today. The food is running out quickly, so we probably won't be able to survive until the crops on the ground mature."

What Li Hui said is indeed a problem. The system's grain also needs to be left for seeds, so only a portion can be taken out.

"After persuasion, these people were willing to move in. However, the county is not big. If the city wall is demolished, there will be no resistance to the Xianbei invasion later."

Sheng Changan was somewhat helpless. Even that broken city wall could be pushed down with a little effort without anyone else. What was the point of it? "Push it down and rebuild it. How big is Guangping County, Wu County Magistrate?"

"The area within a radius of 100 miles belongs to Guangping County," County Magistrate Wu knew this.

In ancient times, a radius of 100 li was approximately equal to 100 square kilometers. This place is located on a plain, bordered by forests to the east, other county towns to the west, and the Xianbei in front. This geographical condition is actually quite good. "Push it, don't build the city wall first, build houses first, and put the houses as close to the county town as possible, and then build behind the city wall."

Sheng Changan knocked on the table. This place was more like the north she knew now. If that was the case, coal, iron, clay and the like should be more common here.

If we find the city wall, we should be able to build it stronger, but if we do that, the winter will be extremely cold. Let's deal with the current issue first. "How long can these people have enough food?"

Wang Yi's eyes lit up. He knew this. "If I eat one meal a day, I can barely make it through two months."

Just barely, which means she will still be hungry, not to mention that this meal will probably be porridge. The system alone is not enough, she still has to leave some for food, not to mention that she has to feed so many people herself.

"County Magistrate Wu, find a place to build a school tomorrow. It should also include accommodations. Once it's built, place these children there."

It's okay to put it in the county office temporarily, but the county office is an office after all, and she will recruit more people, not fewer, and some of them will always have to live here. "Those who come to work will be provided with two meals."

This will also relieve some of the pressure on the people.

Seeing the hesitant look on everyone's face, Sheng Changan knew what they were going to say. "In two months, we won't be short of food anymore. Just bear with it for now." With the help of the system, it should be no problem to at least hold on for two months.

"Lin Chuan, this proposal on taxation is well written. You should make a detailed rule and the people will follow it in the future." Sheng Changan unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand and took a look at them.

"Wang Yi, how many children are there in the county government office now?"

"Thirteen, three under five, ten under ten"

"You continue to follow up on this, but pay attention to the screening." She arranged work without even having a meal. She felt physically and mentally exhausted. "Li Hui, leave these people you recruited to Li Dashan."

Seeing Li Hui's lost look, Sheng Chang'an smiled gently and said, "Your path is not here. You should recruit people again, mainly women this time, and recruit ten people. Those who work in the county government office can bring their children here and live with them. Let the cook take care of them temporarily, and County Magistrate Wu will recruit another person to take charge of them."

Li Hui was a little embarrassed. Although the conditions were very good, those women still wouldn't be willing to come out. "They might not be willing."

"Then recruit as many as you can. As long as someone stands up, others will come forward. I hope you can form a team of female soldiers. Do you have the confidence?" Perhaps because they are also women, she is more willing to give them this opportunity. Someone has to do the work. As long as everyone is used to it, no one will say anything about it in the future.

"Yes" No matter what, she is willing to give it a try.

Watching his wife gradually changing back to her former self, County Magistrate Wu felt a little emotional. She always felt that it was because of her that the two of them had fallen to this point, so she always suppressed herself. But now, she has finally changed back.

As for Zhang Shi, she was indeed a little embarrassed. He was more of a technical talent and was indeed talented in growing crops. As long as it involved professional knowledge, he could talk about it very well, but when it came to dealing with people, he became timid.

"Zhang Shi, I still have some seeds. You're responsible for distributing them to the people and letting them plant them. Is that okay?"

"No, no problem." Zhang Shi thought that the county magistrate would despise him for being useless, so he only dared to shrink at the back.

There is still a lack of talent. Sheng Changan's eyes stayed on Wu County Magistrate and he coughed dryly a few times, "Wu County Magistrate, do you think I am a good official?"

County Magistrate Wu said solemnly, "Your Excellency is a good official." He is capable and willing to consider the people. How can such a person not be considered a good official?

Seeing the serious look on County Magistrate Wu's face, Sheng Chang'an felt a little embarrassed for once and began to brag. "Actually! I think I'm not only a good official, but also a good boss. Don't worry, I know everything you've done. When Guangping County gets better in the future, I will naturally reward you according to your merits."

Listening to Sheng Changan's long speech, several people were moved to tears, except for Lin Chuan, who felt that there was something wrong with the adult saying such a long speech.

His mouth was almost dry after talking about it. Looking at the touched eyes of several people, Sheng Changan felt that it was enough and decided to close the net. "So! If there are any talents, with special skills, talents and good character, you can recommend them."

"Although Guangping County is a little poor now, we have potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. I guarantee that we will never be short of food. More importantly, Guangping County is in need of people right now. It's such a fulfilling experience to witness a city being built from scratch."

After that, he added a few more words in a rhythmic manner, "What's more important is that I and Shangguan are here! As long as you have the ability and good character, you can work for the people here."

Wang Yi clapped his hands and said, "Well said, sir!"

Sheng Changan curled his lips and gave him an appreciative look. This emotional value was provided quite well. She was almost fooling herself with him. Oh! No, she was moved by his true feelings.

Wu Xiancheng slowly realized that the master said so much, in the final analysis, just to make him give her a villain. However, there is indeed a "this humble official does know that there must be a place where there must be the talent that the master is looking for."
