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

"So, are you now willing to be the head housekeeper?" Su Li asked, looking at Xiao Qian Shi.

"As long as Madam doesn't mind, I'm willing to do my best to try," Madam Qian earnestly assured her.

Hearing this, Su Li understood Xiao Qian's decision, and smiled, saying, "Then welcome to the team."

……

When they left the General's Mansion, Madam Qian and her daughter Wu Yue walked with light steps. Wu Yue glanced back at the General's Mansion and still couldn't believe that the matter had been resolved so easily.

"Mother, do you think all of this is real? I feel like I'm dreaming all day!" Wu Yue asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Madam Qian reached out and patted Wu Yue's head, saying, "Mother feels the same way, but it's all true, there's no need to doubt it."

Only now did Wu Yue believe that none of this was fake. A big smile spread across her face as she happily said, "That's great! Mom, you can work with me from now on. Grandma can't bully us anymore."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian smiled with relief and said, "Madam is a very good person. Without her, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly today."

Wu Yue strongly agreed with this point. She nodded earnestly and said, "I will learn from Madam in the future. I will work very hard and repay Madam in the future."

Ms. Qian: "Okay!"

***

Time flew by, and a month passed quickly. This month was exceptionally peaceful, with both the city and the surrounding area remaining unusually quiet.

Su Li was satisfied with this rare quiet, as it meant they were safe now.

A month is enough time for Su Li to thoroughly clean up Lingcheng. Before the great battle, Su Li will not allow any mishaps to occur in the city.

Zhao Zexuan fully supported Su Li's plan. When she proposed the idea, he immediately dispatched his soldiers to her at her beck and call.

Su Li was satisfied with Zhao Zexuan's swift action, but she also inquired about the speed at which he was training his troops.

Zhao Zexuan was unguarded with Su Li, so he spoke frankly: "It's not going very smoothly. It probably won't be easy to train them in a short period of time."

Su Li was not surprised by this. After all, the people she recruited came from diverse backgrounds and were used to being free and undisciplined. It would be difficult to train them to be disciplined in a short period of time.

With only a few months left, Lingcheng must grow stronger rapidly within these few months, and even if it is difficult, it must continue to persevere.

Thinking that there was nothing else to do, Su Li asked, "Can I go and take a look at the training area? Perhaps I can offer some suggestions."

Faced with Su Li's request, Zhao Zexuan naturally wouldn't refuse; on the contrary, he hoped that Su Li could offer some advice.

Seeing that Zhao Zexuan agreed, Su Li set a time with him and then changed the topic to other things. For example, right now, Su Li looked at Zhao Zexuan and asked, "I haven't seen you ask about the situation here during this time. Aren't you worried that I'll mess things up?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan looked up at Su Li and said, "If things had gone wrong, you wouldn't be asking me this."

Upon hearing this, Su Li raised an eyebrow and said, "Thank you for your trust in me."

Seeing Su Li say this, Zhao Zexuan's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "No one doubts your abilities."

Getting back to the point, Su Li's question wasn't without purpose. She said, "When are you free recently? I'd like to invite you to visit the current planting base in Lingcheng."

“A month has passed, and the place has already grown to a considerable size. Although you say you’re reassured, it’s never as reassuring as seeing it with your own eyes.”

Hearing Su Li say this, Zhao Zexuan did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Okay, you set the time, I'm free these few days."

Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up, and she said, "There's no time like the present. Since you have time, why not do it tomorrow? Bring along all the generals who are available around you."

As soon as Su Li said this, Zhao Zexuan understood what she meant and nodded, saying, "Okay."

……

The weather was perfect; Su Li chose the perfect day, a clear and sunny day.

Early in the morning, Su Li and Zhao Zexuan got ready, ate breakfast, and checked on the three children before setting off.

Seeing that there was no movement outside the mansion, Su Li turned her gaze to Zhao Zexuan and asked curiously, "Where is he?"

Before Zhao Zexuan could answer, Mo Nan couldn't help but explain, "Madam, the generals were so excited when they learned that you were going to take us to visit the planting base that they all wanted to sign up. There were so many of them that the general told them to wait at the city gate first."

Lingcheng is now divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city is larger, so the planting base is located in the outer city, while the generals wait at the city gate outside the inner city.

Hearing Mo Nan's explanation, Su Li was satisfied and nodded, saying, "Then let's set off quickly."

Because Su Li couldn't ride a horse and could only travel by carriage, a large crowd of people had already quietly gathered at the city gate when the group arrived.

With so many people riding horses waiting outside the city, the scene naturally attracted the attention of the people. However, even though the people gathered together to inquire about the situation, no one dared to cause any trouble, and the scene was extremely quiet.

When Su Li arrived at the city gate in her carriage, this was the scene she saw. She looked at the people on the roadside craning their necks and curiously inquiring, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile, then stopped paying attention.

Zhao Zexuan, who was riding his horse alongside the carriage, also noticed this scene. He didn't say anything this time, but instead called on the generals waiting outside the city to hurry up and catch up.

The generals didn't want to be constantly watched by the surrounding people, so as soon as the procession appeared, they didn't hesitate and immediately followed behind the vehicle.

The group walked out in a grand procession, which aroused the curiosity of the people who remained in the city. Some wanted to follow, but were stopped by the soldiers.

"Sir, what's going on? Why are all these officials here? Where are they going?" Someone was really curious and asked the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The soldier knew what was going on, and it wasn't a secret, so he explained, "It's not about doing anything. The lady is taking the general and the others to visit our Lingcheng planting base to see the current planting progress."

Upon hearing this, the people present became excited. They were incredibly curious about this planting base, and having someone from their family working there was something to be proud of.

I've heard a few words about it; it's said that there's a lot of grain growing there, enough to keep everyone from going hungry.
