Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

As soon as Sheng Changan came down, she found herself jumping directly into a pit. She patted the soil and walked out. There were still some construction workers here.

Someone clearly recognized him and quickly bowed their heads and called out, "Sir." The others looked at each other in bewilderment. This person's height did indeed resemble the county magistrate, so they immediately lowered their heads and called out, "Sir."

Sheng Changan quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, just continue working."

The tunnel itself was not high, only slightly higher than her height. These people were basically hunched over while working. Since it had not been completed yet, there was almost no light in the entire tunnel.

County Magistrate Wu and his men soon followed. Feng Zhihong took a few steps forward and said, "Sir, I plan to use the bricks we have made to build this tunnel. It should be more solid."

Sheng Changan nodded and said, "You have thought it through very comprehensively. I will do as you say. The authentic drawings have all been drawn."

"It's all above." Lin Chuan took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it over.

Sheng Changan unfolded it and took a look. It was indeed very detailed. Roughly every ten meters, there was a spacious area for people to rest. "We are digging a path to the Shadow Forest."

Feng Zhihong nodded in agreement. He probably guessed that when they heard that salt had been found over there, they would definitely dig a road leading there, just in case.

Sheng Changan walked for a distance and found that this tunnel was indeed well built and complicated. Without someone to lead the way, he would definitely not be able to find the direction.

If anything happens, you can run away directly from here, both offensive and defensive. "The tunnel is speeding up." Thinking that Shangyu County is so close to Guangping, she is still a little worried.

Feng Zhihong also knew what Sheng Changan meant. Although he had been underground recently, there was a kid named Wang Yi who always came to talk to Lin Chuan, so he still knew most of the things.

Now that she has seen enough, Sheng Changan plans to go back and take another look at the kang. Also, the quilts need to be made as soon as possible. In about two months, she suspects that the temperature here will drop below zero.

The charcoal has not been made yet. The earthen kiln has been burning bricks recently, so the charcoal has not been prepared yet. We can't delay it any longer.

Looking at the sky outside, Sheng Changan breathed a sigh of relief. The tunnel was still a little small, and it felt uncomfortable to stay in it for too long. "County Magistrate Wu, I remember Feng Zhaoyuan is in charge of the brick-making now."

"Tell him to build a few earthen kilns to make charcoal in preparation for this winter, and instruct the people to make it themselves, taking turns."

"This winter may be colder than in previous years." County Magistrate Wu was also a little worried. It was indeed cold a little early this year.

Sheng Changan sighed, "I'm afraid the Xianbei will become even more restless this year."

County Magistrate Wu's expression instantly became tense. The weather was getting colder, and the Xianbei might not stop until they had taken Shangyu.

There are still not enough people. If she had tens of thousands of soldiers, it would be more than enough to defend Guangping. Thinking of this, Sheng Changan's heart moved. Guangping was short of manpower, so she could recruit people from other counties.

But not now, when someone is in dire straits, only then will they be more grateful. There are too many things in Guangping County, and once they are leaked, it is very likely to be a disaster.

Shangyu is a good choice, Sheng Changan expressed his thoughts.

County Magistrate Wu pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid we have to wait for Captain Shen and the others to return before we can take action."

Now only Li Dashan and more than 900 soldiers are guarding the city. If he goes out, Guangping will have no protection.

Sheng Changan thought the same. Although he wanted more manpower, he couldn't do it now. "It will probably take more than a month for them to come back."

Even if we took horses with us, it was impossible for all fifty people to have horses. Adding the people we rescued, the time it would take to return to the city would probably be even longer.

"Build a shelter so that if there are any refugees later, they can go inside to rest. It's best to keep them at a certain distance from the crowd and isolate them for a period of time before they can move freely."

Although there may not necessarily be an epidemic, we still need to be fully prepared.
