Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Shen Huaizhi agreed. In fact, the thing they ate the most recently was snake meat. Thanks to Old Du, no one had died yet, and those who were bitten could get timely treatment.

At this point, Sheng Changan also remembered something: "How is the digging of medicinal herbs going?"

"It's pretty good at the moment. I have all the necessary medical supplies for external injuries and common medicines."

"Remember to bring some medicine before you go to Xianbei, and remember to put your own safety first. This is just a test." Sheng Changan was really worried, but it was imperative to find out their news. He couldn't just stay where he was and wait for them to attack him.

"Don't worry, sir. We should be able to get away with it by disguising ourselves as vagrants."

Sheng Changan sighed helplessly, and there was nothing he could do. "Then let's go!"

She was not in the mood to look around. All she wanted to do was lie down on the bed and rest. It was supposed to be a day off, but it ended up turning into a working day.

There's also money. Based on this location, there should be copper mines here. Silver and gold mines are mostly in the south, but...

Sheng Changan's eyes flickered slightly. She had already decided to rebel, so she could easily make this silver herself. If the Xianbei failed to seize the food, the imperial court would surely know about it soon.

The identities of Shen Huaizhi and others will be discovered sooner or later, and then they will be attacked from both sides.

Thinking of this, Sheng Changan frowned. The Xianbei alone were difficult to deal with, and if the imperial court was added, she suddenly felt a blackout. There was no point in escaping in the current situation. It would be great if she could build a bomb.

She was about to ask, but the system seemed to sense something and said, "The system cannot provide thermal weapons. This will interfere with the development of this world."

Sheng Changan gave up instantly. She had probably guessed that the system only had a strong presence in the beginning. After the upgrade, the map was very good, but now it was no longer seen much.

It wasn't an assist, more of an observer. Even the missions had to be triggered by her. However, it said the system couldn't provide information, but it didn't say she couldn't research it. Thinking this way, she asked.

As expected, "The host now belongs to this world, and what he does is in accordance with the rules of this world."

Regarding the gunpowder, Sheng Changan found a bamboo slip and began to mark it, but stopped short. The word "盐" (nitrogen) could barely be made out, so he decided not to waste the bamboo slip; it would be much better once paper was made.

Even if she wrote it down, she currently didn't know how to prepare it, so she could only think of a way later.

The next morning, Sheng Changan was planning to go out and try his luck, perhaps he could find a copper mine. As he reached the door, a loud noise came over.

"Sir," County Magistrate Wu's face was filled with joy.

Sheng Changan was about to ask something when he saw Shen Huaizhi and Li Hui carrying half a side of pork with a few other people. "Did you catch this in the mountains?"

"Yes, I encountered a group of wild boars when I was training them." Seeing Sheng Chang'an frowning, Shen Huaizhi continued, "Everyone was armed, and only a small number of them suffered minor injuries."

"A few piglets have been sent to the livestock farm to see if they can be tamed. Some have been given to colleagues and the school, and the rest have been divided among the soldiers participating in the hunt," Shen Huaizhi explained as he gestured for the half-wild boar to be sent to the kitchen.

Sheng Changan nodded. They had obviously already obtained their weapons and started practicing in preparation for their trip to Xianbei. "I'm going to go out for a walk."

Now that we have decided to pay the wages, we should resolve this matter quickly.

After just wandering around for a whole day, Sheng Changan didn't find anything, so he had to go and see how many bricks had been made.

Most importantly, she had a feeling that after the wall was built, the system would reward her. Every reward was exactly what she needed, and perhaps this time would be the same.

As soon as we got off the bus, we saw piles of red bricks, with hundreds of people working on them. A number of earthen kilns had also been built, and judging by the situation, it seemed like we could start organizing manpower to build the city wall.

Feng Zhihong came over: "Sir."

Sheng Changan was very satisfied: "You did a great job. I will immediately organize people to start building the city wall."

"But the bricks still need to be made. Next, all the houses in the county will be replaced with them."

Sheng Changan suddenly changed the subject: "I remember your son is fifteen this year, right?"

Feng Zhihong vaguely sensed something: "Yes, my son is just fifteen this year."

"In that case, why don't you let Lingzi keep an eye on this place first, and you go back to supervise the construction of the city wall. You can just come over here from time to time."

"Thank you for your grace, sir." Feng Zhihong was a little excited. This was exactly what he wanted. If this matter was handled well, Yuaner would also leave an impression on you, sir.

"You take care of things here yourself and try to start construction tomorrow." She was really in a hurry and hoped to finish the construction before Shen Huaizhi came back.

It is estimated that Guangping and Xianbei will soon face off, and they can only win and not lose.

"Do you want to go back with me now?" After all, walking is a bit tiring, and she is still very satisfied with Feng Zhihong.

Feng Zhihong quickly nodded his head in agreement. He had originally wanted to ask if he could be given a ride along the way, but he didn't expect the adult to bring it up first.

About ten days later, Shen Huaizhi and Li Hui led a few people to prepare to set off.

Sheng Changan was also under a lot of pressure, but she had to take this step. She could only remind him again and again: "Remember, this is just to get information."

The two nodded, and Shen Huaizhi smiled, "Don't worry, sir, nothing will happen."

Sheng Changan could only watch their backs gradually walking away. After thinking about it, she was still not at ease and decided to recruit more soldiers.

County Magistrate Wu walked out with a frown on his face. More than a thousand people were already more than the private soldiers a county had. Once discovered by the imperial court, the consequences would be very serious.

As soon as Shen Congye came back, he ran into Wu You, who was full of things on his mind. After asking him, he laughed.

Pointing at himself and then at him, he said, "We are all guilty. Once we are discovered, you, my Lord, will not be able to escape."

"This is the most opportune time. Everyone here trusts Mr. Sheng very much. No one will leak the information for at least a short period of time."

Shen Congye became serious again: "With soldiers, we will have the ability to resist if something happens. Otherwise, we will be helpless."

County Magistrate Wu bowed and said, "Wu You was mistaken. Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your guidance."

Shen Congye waved his hand and sighed as he walked away, "It's just that those involved are confused."

Sheng Changan looked at Du Zhong who was squirming below with a headache. He felt helpless and held Du Ruo in his arms before asking, "Old Du, just say whatever you want to say!"

This look really doesn't suit him.

Du Zhong cleared his throat and said, "I've been doing my best to teach your people during this period, but I just want to ask you a favor."

Sheng Changan pinched Du Ruo's soft fingers and said, "You said, I can agree to anything as long as it doesn't involve issues of principle." After all, she still wanted to keep the two of them here.
