County government.

Qin Changyuan was waiting at the door of the county magistrate's office with his subordinates. It was still early, and before the time to go to the yamen, if it wasn't for the county government's Zaoli team who had not left at night, their group would have to wait at the county magistrate's office. Waiting outside.

However, there was a reason why they came so early. One was to show their sincerity, and the other was to get in touch with the county magistrate as soon as possible to see what kind of person he was.

Tang Zisheng packed up and came to the front hall. In the past two days, he took the general to the place where Cang'er County is located, so that the general can rest assured that he is an ally before leaving. The general went to Baihe Village early in the morning, saying yes Say goodbye to old people.

It's a pity that today he agreed to see Qin Changyuan and his party, otherwise he would definitely go with the general.

After all, it was the period of passionate love. If it weren't for the potatoes and sweet potatoes that still needed to be taken care of by Qingcheng, he would have taken them over long ago.

"Qin Tutou, Kaiyun Mansion never thought that goodbye would be here."

"I'm not a headhunter anymore. You don't have to call me that, Mr. Tang, just call me by my name." Qin Changyuan stared at Tang Zisheng with a complicated expression, "I doubted my lord before in Kaiyun Mansion, and I don't want my lord to take action in the end. Help me, I, Qin Changyuan, owe you my life."

"Qin Tutou is serious, and who said that Qin Tutou is not a tutou? Although I am only a small county magistrate, I still have a position under my jurisdiction that I can provide to Qin Tutou." Tang Zisheng asked Qin Changyuan Coming here is because Qin Changyuan valued Qin Changyuan's ability.

Qin Changyuan had guessed it a long time ago, so he didn't look very happy when he heard the news, but he was even more worried, "Master Tang, there are some brothers who came with me this time, and they also worked in Kaiyun Mansion before. Hurry up, with experience in this field, how many people can the county government accept now?"

People who value love and righteousness are more trusted by Tang Zisheng than people who are ruthless and untrustworthy.So when he learned that Qin Changyuan's brothers had followed Qin Changyuan to Cang'er County, he had already made preparations, "The more the better."

"What do you mean by your lord's words?" Qin Changyuan became worried because of these words. Cang'er County is only a county seat, and there were many arrests in the first place. Now that they come here and have a few vacancies, it would be good, so the more the better.

"I plan to expand Cang'er County, and the construction will start soon. When the time comes, the expanded outer city will need your help to maintain it. Naturally, the more the better."

Building the outer city, this, "Master Tang, forgive me, it is your idea to expand the outer city, and Shunhe Mansion should allocate funds."

"I think Qin Tutou has been working in Kaiyun Mansion for so long and should be aware of the situation in various prefectures in Xizhou. Cang'er County is the poorest county in Shunhe Prefecture, and Shunhe Mansion is also the poorest prefecture in Xizhou."

The implication is that Shunhe Mansion has no money to manage them.

"This is your lord's idea. If so, let me ask you another question, will this place be called Cang'er County in the future?"

Qin Changyuan felt a little uneasy in his heart. This answer was related to whether the lord in front of him was willing to tell his whole purpose. Although the question was reckless, he would not feel at ease if he didn't ask.

Tang Zisheng shook his head, "This will be a city in the future. As for the name Cocklebur, maybe it will be called or not."

"My subordinate understands."

Tang Zisheng nodded with a smile. Chatting with smart people is easy. "If there are no problems, the expansion of the outer city will start in half a month. This is the current preliminary drawing of the outer city. You can go to investigate first."

Qin Changyuan put away the blueprints and left full of worries.

As soon as Qin Changyuan left, Zhou Nanchuan came over. It seemed that he had been waiting at the door for a long time, so he asked as soon as he entered, "Do you really want to build the outer city so quickly?"

"After the outer city is built, it is equivalent to a layer of barriers. If we really wait until the war starts to build it, it will be too late." Otherwise, why would he have to take out the money first when he owed the general.

"What is your plan for that manpower?"

"In addition to recruiting workers in Cang'er County, there are also many labor forces in the surrounding counties. What's more, don't forget that there are still a group of people locked up in the prison of the county government. They eat and drink in the prison every day, but they don't know how to call This group of people reformed."

Except for death-row prisoners, those who have made minor mistakes can be dragged to repair the outer city.

Zhou Nanchuan didn't say a word, but he thought in his heart that a few bowls of porridge every day in the prison, and the days of wanting to be with mice every day are not good.

However, he was in favor of Tang Zisheng letting these offenders work to make atonement. No wonder Tang Zisheng wanted people like Qin Changyuan to come over.Without them, it would be difficult to control these prisoners if they were to really let them do things.

"By the way, when the outer city was being built, all the people from Shitou Village were moved to the outer city. I have roughly drawn the layout of the outer city, and this part of the area will be handed over to the people of Shitou Village to live and work."

"Are you still planning to farm in the outer city?" Zhou Nanchuan carefully looked at the map drawn by Tang Zisheng. It seems that Tang Zisheng did not intend to arrange all the land in the outer city into residences and shops like the inner city. The areas for farming are divided extremely big.

"The outer city covers a large area. It would be wasteful to house them all. Moreover, the city has a fatal weakness. If people besiege it, it will run out of food. If food is grown in the outer city, this weakness can also be solved."

What's more, he didn't delimit the entire outer city area for farming. Apart from the farming area, there are some working workshops and a commercial and residential area like the inner city.

"I think you just don't want so many people to come in. After the war, there will only be a steady stream of people wanting to come in. You have a lot of free space now, and when there are more people, you will feel that the space is small. You will have nearly half of the space. The land is used for farming, and those who want to live in it in the future may wish to build houses on these fields.”

"The houses in the outer city are built by the people in the workshop. There will be no huge yards for sale. After the outer city is completed, I will rebuild the inner city. A city can't accommodate the people of the entire Xizhou. Of course, enough is enough. .”

"Do you want to divide the inner and outer cities?"

"No, the positioning is different. The only people that the outer city can attract in the past are refugees and people from various villages in Cang'er County. What they need is a place to settle down."

"Anyway, I can't keep up with your thinking, but I need a restaurant in a prosperous place in the future. We will definitely open the business of Huanqinglou here."

"Naturally." Not only the hot pot restaurant, but he will open other shops in the future.

Tang Zisheng sorted out his future plans carefully, and he still had to take it step by step, first releasing the news about the recruitment of workers for the construction of the outer city.

-

In the afternoon, Shen Yiran, who went to Baihe Village with the general, came back alone.

"The general is gone?" Tang Zisheng saw Shen Yiran returning to the yard again, and thought that Shen Yiran went with the general during the day, and now only Shen Yiran came back, and the general probably left.

"Well, there are things waiting in the imperial city, father, he can't stay longer." If he hadn't met an old friend in Cang'er County, his father would probably have left long ago given his character.

The longer you stay in one place, the easier it is to be exposed.

"The general and Uncle Xu have talked?" Considering the tense atmosphere when the two met last time, he suspected that this time they might also break up on bad terms.

"I don't know." When his father was talking to Uncle Xu, he and Brother Xu were left outside the door. He helped Brother Xu weed the vegetable garden when he had nothing to do, and he didn't bother to eavesdrop.

It seems that the general is really cautious, and he should ask Qingcheng next time, saying that Tang Zisheng stretched his waist. He has been busy all morning without touching the ground. This will finally steal a lunch break. Rest on the couch.

"What did you ask Brother Xu to plant?" Shen Yiran asked suddenly.

"Why did you ask this?" Tang Zisheng closed his eyes. Did he discover the secret of potatoes?The father and son must have passed the news together.

"I've never seen those two things in the territory of Dayu. Judging from Brother Xu's cautious attitude, these two crops are not as simple as they seem."

"Really? Those tanks in my yard are also planted with those. Have you ever seen me take care of it?" Tang Zisheng said calmly, and then he was a little proud, "Do you think it is possible for Qingcheng to be so caring? It’s because I gave it, not because the crops are valuable.”

"Uh..." Shen Yiran went out quickly, and sure enough, he had nothing to do with Tang Zisheng.

"Wait." Tang Zisheng sat up, his eyes sharpened suddenly, "Guard Shen is a bit of a talent to stay in the county office every day. I have a job here that is suitable for you. I don't know if you want it."

"What errand?" Shen Yiran continued to stay and protect Tang Zisheng as agreed.As for other errands, if he doesn't like it, he won't obey the arrangement.

"Leader."

When the two words came out of Tang Zisheng's mouth, Shen Yiran's pupils shrank slightly, and he seemed to ask uncertainly, "You mean going to your barracks to lead the soldiers?"

"Otherwise, where are the soldiers? I think Guard Shen grew up with the general since he was a child, so he should be no stranger to leading soldiers."

"I was trained as a spy." In the important barracks, women and brothers were never allowed to enter, but Tang Zisheng was surprised and asked him to lead the army.

"Whether you are only spying or not, only Shen Weiwei knows. But I am offering you an opportunity now. I don't know if Shen Weiwei is willing to give it a try."

In Tang Zisheng's view, women do not give way to men, but it is an ancient rule that restrains talented women, which makes it difficult for many women to get ahead.

But even so, in the historical facts he knows, there are many women who have the talents of economics and strategy, and their names go down in history. In today's world, brother is also the same.

Shen Yiran has been with the general since he was a child. If he didn't think about it, it would be impossible for him not to be a good son of the general's mansion, but to do some spying. It's just because there is no hope of leading the army, so he would just settle for the next best thing.

"Of course you can try, but you are not afraid of accidents to your soldiers?" Shen Yiran's eyes were indifferent, he would not pretend to be a kid to enter the barracks, and if he wanted to enter the barracks, he would only go as a brother.

Presumably Tang Zisheng has led the army for a while, and he knows what the barracks is like. If he leads the army as a brother, he may not be convinced. But not a small loss.

"Since the barracks believes that the strong are respected, being injured means that your own strength is not good enough. No wonder others, it's just that guard Shen said that it is not difficult to enter the barracks?"

"Only 1000 people."

"Then Tang will wait for the good news from Shen Wei." Tang Zisheng stood up, "If there is a war in the northwest in the future, I think I will need a general who can lead troops to fight against foreign countries in the northwest."

When Shen Yiran heard Tang Zisheng speak so loudly, his eyes were unexpectedly filled with excitement. What he said just now was Tang Zisheng's promise, and it was also a conspiracy. He waited until his father left to tell him about it. It can be seen that Tang Zisheng had planned for a long time.

But he didn't dislike Yangmou. If Tang Zisheng was really willing to provide him with such an opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future, he would not let it go.

When Shen Yiran left, Tang Zisheng fell back on the couch, gloating at the same time, hoping that the general would look better when he knew that he sent his adopted son to the battlefield in the future, at least he would not think about swallowing him alive.
