After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Li Qingqing was a little confused, but when she took it and looked at it, she couldn't help laughing.

Oh, the Protector General of Wei actually gave her a bronze medal.

No, to be exact, it is a copper city lord token.

Are they planning to let her run rampant in the border cities?

Li Qingqing was secretly pondering Wei Duhu's intentions, but she heard Wei Duhu continue to say:

"This is the City Lord's order. You must keep it safe. I will immediately recommend you to the court for the position of City Lord to ensure that you can act with ease!"

The city lord is mainly responsible for managing the daily affairs of a city.

Because there was a protectorate in the border city, Wei Duhu had always been in charge of the position. Now he handed it over to Li Qingqing without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing smiled secretly: It seems that my salary will be increased?

The position of city lord is higher than that of deputy general, so the salary must be raised.

As if he had already guessed what Li Qingqing was thinking, Wei Duhu continued:

"Given the tight treasury situation, your salary will continue to be paid at the level of a deputy general. Do you have any objection to this?"

Li Qingqing: ...

Li Qingqing then bowed respectfully and spoke loudly:

"For the sake of the common people and all the officers and men, I have no objection!"

Li Qingqing: Good! Good! Good! Lord Protector, you are so shameless, everything you say is right!

Li Qingqing's heart was filled with bubbles:

Wei Duhu is stingy +1

Wei Duhu is stingy +2

……

However, despite all the complaints, it is still very convenient to do things with this city lord's order.

Take the village head for example. He had been somewhat passive and lazy before, but later he worked hard to mobilize the whole village to build a market and carry out infrastructure construction in preparation for the arrival of the labor force.

Those who are capable work harder, those who work harder are poorer.

Li Qingqing, who was doing the work of the city lord while receiving the salary of a deputy general, threw the city lord's order into the space and began to take office.

Although their salary cannot be increased, she and Xie Xuan'an can become rich through their own hard work!

While the people from Qiu Shui Town had not arrived yet, Li Qingqing quickly wrote a letter to urge them.

This time there was no need to explain everything in detail, nor to worry about the contents of the letter being intercepted, so Li Qingqing used the fastest method of sending letters at the time.

At this time in Qiu Shui Town, Zhou Yimo and Xie Xuan'an had already prepared the people and things prepared by Li Qingqing, and were just waiting to set off.

But at this moment, he received a letter by carrier pigeon.

There was only a short line of small words on it: "Quickly send a large number of farm tools and labor!!!"

The two looked at the people and things ready to go, then looked at each other, both a little confused.

These...are not enough?

"Brother Zhou," Xie Xuan'an said immediately, "How about we set off tomorrow?"

"Okay! Go and buy some farm tools and a few oxen," Zhou Yimo nodded.

"I'll register the refugees from yesterday and send them to my wife!"

Zhou Yimo thought to himself that judging by his wife's personality, she would probably have to carry out infrastructure renovation in the area again this time.

I just don’t know whether this time they are building roads or houses?

Nowadays, Qiu Shui Town and even Yuntai County are being governed better and better, but there are always refugees fleeing here.

Just in time to pack it up and send it to the border to help my wife return home as soon as possible!

Zhou Yimo was a little dazed.

Alas! It feels like a long time since I last saw you. I miss you so much!

Li Qingqing was busy at her residence in the main city at this time. It was raining today, so she didn't go out.

The sorghum rice that had been soaked earlier has been soaked, and she is steaming the soaked sorghum.

A gust of wind blew and she couldn't help but sneeze, and quickly closed the window.

In two days it will be the Cold Dew solar term. The weather is already a little chilly now. I wonder how cold it will be in winter?

Li Qingqing felt a little annoyed when she thought of the scene where the north wind was blowing so coldly.

She didn't bring any winter clothes. If it gets any colder, wouldn't she be frozen to death?

The original plan was to make more black fireballs and then return to Qiu Shui Town after building the brick kiln.

Now with the addition of new tasks, we are definitely going to spend the winter on this border!

Li Qingqing frowned slightly, then took out a batch of prey furs from the space.

He called another shadow guard and asked him to transport the furs of the prey to Deputy General Chi and find someone to process them into clothes in time to keep warm in winter.

She is used to arranging things in advance to avoid being in a hurry at the last minute. This is not her character.

These prey furs were accumulated since she first started hunting. There are so many of them that Deputy General Chi will be very busy.

After Li Qingqing arranged this matter, she continued to concentrate on steaming the sorghum.

The steaming step is also crucial to the quality of the wine.

If steamed too hard, it will affect the subsequent saccharification and fermentation, while if steamed too soft, it will affect the quality of the wine.

Not a single step can be taken lightly.

Li Qingqing turned the sorghum in the pot from time to time to ensure that every grain of sorghum was heated evenly.

Not long after, when the sorghum was cooked to perfection, she quickly moved the sorghum in the pot into the space to spread it out and cool it down.

As for why she wanted to put it in the space, it was mainly because she didn't have a wine-making workshop and had no place to dry the wine.

The space was clean and she could control it freely, saving a lot of energy and time.

After the steamed sorghum is spread out to dry and cool, it can be mixed with the yeast.

The temperature of sorghum is very high after steaming. Mixing it directly with koji will kill the microorganisms in the koji, resulting in failure of fermentation.

This step is also critical.

Well, that seems like nonsense.

In fact, every step in winemaking is critical.

Li Qingqing evenly sprinkled the prepared koji on the sorghum, making sure that every grain of sorghum was covered with the koji.

Then it is placed in large wooden barrels and allowed to ferment.

Not long after all this was done, a shadow guard came outside the kitchen to report that Deputy General Chi wanted to see him.

Ever since Li Qingqing asked the shadow guards to bring back some prey every now and then to improve the soldiers' diet, Deputy General Chi no longer dared to be rude to Li Qingqing, and even treated the shadow guards politely.

After all, if you let his men go hunting in the mountains, nine out of ten times they will come back empty-handed, and there is a possibility that both people and animals will be lost.

The people brought by Li Qingqing did not look like ordinary servants at first glance. They always returned with a full load every time they went hunting.

It is a legitimate fresh food supply chain that is stable and reliable!

Deputy General Chi suddenly realized and from then on he showed his goodwill to Li Qingqing.

Seeing that Deputy General Chi and the others were showing goodwill towards her, Li Qingqing was naturally willing to make friends with them.

At this time, she welcomed Deputy General Chi into the outer hall, and Deputy General Chi immediately asked:

"Lord Qing, I'd like to ask, what do you wish to do with the furs of these prey?"

The fact that Li Qingqing would be the city lord had been widely announced by Wei Duhu in the border cities.

In the country of Dayuan, it was common to be able to hold an official position while taking the imperial examinations, or to be assigned a new position while already holding an official position.

When a person holds both an official position and a commissioned job, people will address him according to the highest level of his official position or job.

Also, because Li Qingqing used a fake identity "Li Qing" in the barracks and had the same surname as Li Feng, in order to distinguish them,

Li Feng calls Li General, while Li Qing calls him City Lord Qing.

The amount of prey furs that Li Qingqing gave was so much that even Deputy General Chi was shocked when the shadow guard delivered them.

Therefore, Vice General Chi had to come and ask in person.

Li Qingqing saw Deputy General Chi asking about the prey fur, so she smiled and said:

"Please make two sets of winter clothes for me and the general, and leave the rest for the soldiers."
