Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Du Zhong was a little embarrassed: "That's right, I want to send my apprentice to that school as well."

In fact, he had originally planned to leave after two years, but recently he visited the academy again and found it quite good.

Plus, it seems like they're building some kind of wall recently, and the bricks are really hard. Plus, I saw a lot of food here that I had never seen before. This place really looks pretty good.

But staying here was still not enough. He had to at least make sure that this place was indeed capable of fighting against the Xianbei. Although he had hired someone to take care of her, she seemed to envy the boy named Changqing in the mansion.

Sheng Changan raised her eyebrows. She thought it was something else, so she hesitated. "Okay, you can just send it over tomorrow."

Du Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so simple. He thought she would put forward some conditions. He quickly asked Du Ruo to come down and leave. What if she changed her mind?

Sheng Changan sighed. Did he look so untrustworthy? The academy only accepted people of Du Ruo's age, so she wouldn't use this as a condition.

But... Sheng Changan smiled. The time of hesitation was much faster than she expected!

Almost everyone in the county joined in. When they heard that they could resist the Xianbei, almost all men and women came to help, and they talked from time to time.

“Is this really sturdy?”

Someone quietly approached and said, "I tried it. It's really hard."

"I tried it too," voices rang out one after another.

The first people were stunned and stammered, "Y-you all tried it?"

The others smiled sheepishly; they were genuinely curious.

"Sir" Zheng Jun walked in slowly.

Sheng Changan's eyes lit up, it seemed that they had figured it out.

Zheng Yun carefully placed the rice paper that she had made with great difficulty in front of Sheng Changan.

Sheng Changan touched it. Although the paper was a little rough, it was indeed made. "How much mulberry bark is left?"

Zheng Jun was just about to talk about this problem. Recently, he heard that the city wall could resist the county lords, so most people ran over there, and there were not enough people to peel the bark for him.

Sheng Changan pondered for a moment and said, "I remember bamboo can also be made into paper. Ask County Magistrate Wu to send someone to help you find someone. Send some of the paper to the school, and distribute the rest to others."

"Forget it, just focus on papermaking and give everything to Lin Chuan, and let him distribute it." After thinking about it, it is better not to let professionals do things they are not good at.

Zheng Jun nodded and walked out.

Sheng Changan took the newly received paper and tested the feel of it. The words written with the brush were finally readable. I can't say it's beautiful, just passable. It still can't compare to Lin Chuan's writing.

It’s a pity that there is not much paper, otherwise she could practice writing. She still needs to make more.

After a month of construction, the city wall was finally completed. The long-lost system sound also rang out.

"The city wall is completed and a reward of one hundred taels of silver will be given. The host can directly exchange it for copper coins and gold."

Sheng Changan's eyes lit up. He was rich! One tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, so now the total was ten taels of gold. But it certainly couldn't be exchanged for gold.

The county government's current financial situation is still in deficit. "Change it to ten taels of silver, and the rest to copper coins."

"Wait, wait." She almost forgot that the system could no longer store anything, so she had to find something to put it in.

He looked around the room and saw two slightly worn boxes. This should be enough. Looking at the almost full boxes, Sheng Changan breathed a sigh of relief. Now those people's monthly wages can finally be paid.

It has been delayed for almost a month. Even if they don’t ask, I would feel embarrassed. I feel like a Zhou Paopi.

Hearing the chaotic footsteps outside, Sheng Changan knew that it must be County Magistrate Wu who came here specifically to tell her the good news.

As soon as he opened the door, Wu Xiancheng and others came over. Sheng Changan did not intend to delay. "Go to the reception room and tell Lin Chuan to take these two boxes of money to the warehouse. You will be responsible for all the expenses in the future."

Lin Chuan agreed without changing his expression and found two people to move the money over.

Everyone walked to the reception room, and Sheng Changan sat down before saying, "Lin Chuan, please distribute everyone's monthly allowance."

Although no one asked her about her monthly allowance, she still felt a little guilty, but this time she could finally put her mind at ease.

"Ask the people who lent us grain, do they want grain or money? Return this."

"Zhang Shi, I remember the wheat is ready to be harvested, right?"

"Yes, we are already organizing people to do the work." Everyone in the front was focused on building the city wall. Fortunately, the wheat had just matured, so we could wait.

Sheng Changan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Pay attention to preserving the seed. You will be directly responsible for this in the future."

"Feng Zhihong, you will lead the team to build the tunnel. You must map out all the routes. This is very important, so we must find reliable people."

"This is our combat method, Li Dashan. Once the route is revealed, you must ensure that all soldiers can walk along each path with their eyes closed."

Li Dashan frowned and nodded, knowing that they must remember this.

"County Magistrate Wu, please help them if they have any inconvenience. Also, call Zheng Yun over to me." Now that the city wall is built, it's time to consider the kang. The weather is expected to get colder in about two months.

Sheng Changan had almost finished his arrangements, so he just let them do their own things. After all, everyone had a lot of things to do.

She began to prepare to practice calligraphy. Now she had enough paper, and her handwriting had improved a lot after long-term persistence. She wondered when Shen Huaizhi and the others would be able to come back.

"Sir" Zheng Jun walked in and County Magistrate Wu stood aside.

"I hope you can build kangs for all the people and repair their houses, using red bricks. Also, Mr. Shen and others. The government office will also need to be renovated, and a clinic will be needed."

There wasn't even a meeting hall, and since there weren't many people around, they had to use a room temporarily for meetings. They would rebuild it when conditions allowed. It wasn't a good idea for Mr. Shen and Du Zhong to continue living in the county government office.

Zheng Jun was under a lot of pressure. Not to mention that he didn't know how to make a fire pit, he also had to build a house on a large scale.

Sheng Changan looked at Zheng Jun's embarrassed expression and blinked, probably knowing that he was thinking wrongly. "You only need to be responsible for the county government, Mr. Shen and others, and the rest of you."

"You know, these people built it themselves, and after they are familiar with it, they can do it themselves." After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!

"I also want to build a few shops." Now that everyone has money, it's time to revitalize Guangping County's economy.

There's nothing wrong with that, but...
