In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

Hearing Zhao Zexuan's words, Liu Quan scratched his head and asked, "General, what should we do with Zhou Ping?"

“Originally, I thought life and death were left to fate, but he was lucky to survive, so why not give him a way out? Whether he can seize the opportunity is up to him,” Zhao Zexuan said.

Liu Quan had no objection to Zhao Zexuan's arrangement. Thinking about what he had just said, Liu Quan asked, "General, do you need me to send out the message now?"

“No need. Since Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang haven’t returned yet, Old Master Sun should be able to guess the situation. We’ll soon know his choice. We just need to wait,” Zhao Zexuan said.

Hearing this, Liu Quan had no objection and nodded knowingly, saying, "Now it depends on Grandpa Sun's own choice. If he knows what's good for him, that's best. If he doesn't, don't blame us for being impolite."

The situation outside had stabilized, and news should no longer be blocked. Zhao Zexuan then instructed Liu Quan, "Go to the city and issue a notice announcing that the plague has been brought under control, so that the people can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Liu Quan immediately asked, "General, I already informed the people when I went to arrest them. Is it still necessary to post notices now?"

“Yes, we need to let the people know this news openly and honestly, so they can feel at ease. I imagine there has been quite a bit of activity in the city lately,” Zhao Zexuan said.

"It's not just small, the people in the city are so scared they won't even step out of their doors. The streets are deserted, it's eerily quiet," Liu Quan added.

After glancing at the people around the camp, Zhao Zexuan said, "In a few days, once we're sure the plague has stabilized, we'll return to the city. Remember to tell the people to burn or throw away all the clothes they wore when they were sick."

Liu Quan understood what he meant, and nodded, saying, "General, don't worry, I will keep an eye on those people. However, their clothes are probably unusable and will need to be replaced with a new batch."

"Don't worry about that, a batch of clothes will be delivered," Zhao Zexuan said confidently.

Having understood the meaning, Liu Quan nodded and said, "Madam is very shrewd and capable. She must have considered this aspect. There is really no need to worry."

He neither confirmed nor denied what Liu Quan said about Zhao Zexuan, but he also believed in Su Li's abilities.

Su Li, whom Zhao Zexuan and his servant had mentioned, was currently directing the soldiers to work. The earthen house had been built, and the potato seeds had been cultivated to a near-complete stage; it was time to plant another batch.

After Liu Quan revealed that the plague outside the city had been brought under control, Su Li felt relieved and had the energy and inclination to do other things.

The potato seeds that were given to other people in the city to cultivate in the previous batch have now matured and been harvested. In order to ensure a harvest of more potatoes and more grain, Su Li decided to cultivate them all at once, so that construction could begin once the earthen house was completed.

News came from outside that the situation had completely stabilized, so Su Li set aside a day to bring people to inspect the newly built earthen houses.

Standing in front of a row of earthen houses, looking at the spacious open space around her, Su Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "This place is big enough that there will be room to expand further in the future."

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei, standing to the side, continued, "The general knows what you, Madam, are thinking, so he specially found this vacant lot. If you wish to expand, you can do so from any of the four directions: east, west, south, or north."

Su Li was quite satisfied with this, and nodded, saying, "I'm very satisfied. Although the open space looks rather empty right now, I believe it will be full of people soon."

Mo Bei had long been aware of Su Li's abilities, so he silently nodded in agreement.

Led by a soldier, Su Li went straight into the earthen house and carefully observed the layout and the heated kang bed inside. She said, "If you look closely, the room isn't very big, but the light is quite good. They really put thought into it."

These words were a compliment. Upon hearing this, the craftsman following behind Su Li quickly replied modestly, "It's all thanks to the detailed blueprints you provided, Madam. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to make it. Otherwise, the lighting inside the earthen house would have been a huge problem."

“The blueprints are just blueprints. It’s already excellent that you were able to build them. You have done a great job this time and will be rewarded. The chief craftsman in charge of building this earthen house will be rewarded with 500 work points, the other group leaders will be rewarded with 300 work points, and the remaining craftsmen will each be rewarded with 100 work points,” Su Li said directly.

By this time, the people in the city already knew the importance of work points, so when they heard this, the craftsmen following behind were overjoyed and couldn't be happier.

The craftsman Zhang smiled and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Madam."

"Don't mention it, this is what you deserve. If you do well in the future, there will be more rewards," Su Li said with a smile to Zhang the craftsman.

These words boosted the craftsmen's confidence, and they said with joy, "We will definitely continue to work hard."

Su Li had a general idea of ​​the layout inside the earthen house, so she looked at Mo Bei and said, "We can put all the large vats inside and start planting."

Hearing this, Mo Bei understood and looked at Su Li, asking, "So it's okay for people to come and plant it now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded solemnly and said, "The matter has been almost resolved, and we should be able to return to normal life in the next couple of days. Now that there are more and more people in the city, the rate at which food is being consumed is also increasing. We need to plant potatoes before the food in the city runs out."

Understanding Su Li's meaning, Mo Bei nodded and said, "Then I will have the soldiers notify the selected people tomorrow so that they can come and start working as soon as possible."

"Okay." Su Li nodded.

After inspecting the earthen house, Su Li returned home. As soon as she arrived, a soldier rushed up to her and reported, "Madam, a notice has been posted outside the city gates. We have successfully weathered this plague."

Hearing this, Su Li also showed a sincere smile and said in a relaxed tone, "This crisis has been successfully overcome. I'm happy today, so let's prepare some more food to celebrate."

The soldier was overjoyed to hear Su Li say this, and quickly agreed, turning around to tell the people in the kitchen.

After the soldiers left, Su Li looked at Mo Bei beside her and said, "The matters outside have been mostly dealt with, and the plague crisis has been successfully overcome. When will your general return to the city?"

It was indeed unclear when, so Mo Bei shook his head to indicate that he did not know, and then speculated, "Maybe in a few more days."
