Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After all the issues were delegated and arranged for, Jiang Pengji took a long, deep sigh of relief.
Nonetheless, it was not ti to let their guard down yet.
The world is in a ss, only by strengthening oneself can they protect themselves.
She also put in place so machineries specialized in defence and ensured that the entire Xiangyang district is impenetrable. Then they won’t have to fear should Tsing Yi army invade.
Liyun who is honest, realised the fatigue on everyone’s face, he asked curiously.
Jiang Pengji sighed, “Xiangyang district underwent three big disasters, presently work is underway, but we are lacking in manpower at all aspects. The people need to be settled down well, the damaged houses need to be rebuilt, the fields outside also needs to be prid for farming, otherwise, many will die of starvation next year. The able have a lot of responsibilities... naturally we’d be tired, this is inevitable. One person has to double up to take on two roles and give their utmost.”
Liyun finds joy in helping others, if not he wouldn’t enthusiastically help the troops resist Tsing Yi army’s attacks.
Moreover, even more he is ignorant of Jiang Pengji’s scheming invitation for him to co to Xiangyang district.
Hearing Jiang Pengji’s aningful and heartfelt words, Liyun’s heart softened, his warm and kind personality was inevitably triggered.
His eyes are brimming with sincerity, he opened his mouth to ask Jiang Pengji, “Is young Langjun still lacking in people? I may not be strong in my intellect, but I have my brawn to offer. If I am needed in any area, young Langjun, please feel free to say.”
After he finished speaking, he broke into a rather bashful smile.
He knows that a district magistrate is not a lowly official post, by saying this she implies that she urgently needs help.
Feng Jin, Xiaoyu and ng Hun were still around, they discreetly looked at Liyun as if they saw a ghost.
Where in the world did this senseless child erge from?
Xiangyang district is equivalent to hell on this earth, one has to work overti so much that they wished for death.
They have all entered the pirate’s boat and cannot exit, but why does Liyun take the initiative to get himself in trouble?
Jiang Pengji said directly, “There are openings. I am only afraid a saintly person like Li Langjun is not suitable for the task.”
Liyun’s a little embarrassed, he comnted, “Please don’t address as Langjun, call Li Han i will do.”
As for the description as the “deity like person”, it seriously made him feel shy.
Such a handso man, captivating indeed.
Liyun’s courtesy na is Han i, it truly doesn’t let his face down.
“Sure, if so, I will not stand on ceremony.” Jiang Pengji said with an open mind. Despite the accusations by the audiences in the live streaming room, she continued to speak, “There’s indeed a task that needs to be undertaken by soone. If Han i doesn’t mind, I will entrust you with it.”
“No problem, I do not fear hard work.”
Liyun is an honest child, this is evident is all aspects.
When he raises his spear, he is a cold, proud and god-like. After he puts it down, he is blatantly bullied by Jiang Pengji yet genuinely cute and likable.
Finally, Jiang Pengji entrusted the task of preparing an area for agriculture to Liyun.
Right, she assigned soone with exceptional spear techniques, like a death god who is alluring and handso to do farming!
Dalao Raoming: “Keke, strear, co, tell your house address. I will send you razor blades for sure.”
Shanzhatiao: “Good heavens, honestly, I cannot imagine such a handso god-man going to slog in the farms like those uncles.”
Buxiangjiageng Zhixiangsi: “Why did you assign a farming role to a general who is ant to fight at battlefields in future, strear you’re the best.”
Why not sit and watch the sky monkey ascend to heavens!
Feng Jin and the rest were tired from within, they asked to leave. Suddenly he recalled sothing important and reported to Jiang Pengji.
“Oh yes... my lord, bricks have been synthesized at the brick kiln.”
Brick kiln?
“Bricks have been synthesized at the brick kiln? What’s the outco?”
Jiang Pengji supported her heavy head, after hearing Feng Jin’s words, her mind beca alert.
The craftsn have retrieved the bricks out, but... whether they can be used needs to be assessed by the lord.
After all, it’s his lord who started this ss, she is the rightful spokesperson.
“Let’s head to the brick kiln to see.”
Jiang Pengji dismissed the thought of resting; she took so n to the brick kiln.
An old man burning the kiln is the craftsman for synthesizing bricks, learning of Jiang Pengji’s arrival, he hurriedly brought his n to receive them.
“Since the lord went to war, this is the third batch of bricks. Within the kiln, the four batch is being burnt.”
The craftsman led Jiang Pengji to have a look at the products from the three batches.
The surface of the bricks had a tinge of grey, it is nicely arranged in a pile and took up a large area.
The first batch of grey bricks has evidently more cracks than the latter two batches which had less, they also appeared more defined and beautiful.
Jiang Pengji stacked the grey bricks together then chopped it with her the side of her palms. Upon checking the patterns within, “Almost there...”
As a whole, these few batches of grey bricks are of decent quality.
For a first tir to achieve such product, it is rather successful.
She could also observe, the batch at the back is better than the one before them.
Evidently, the craftsman has interest in this. After he made his first batch, he worked hard to identify how he can optimise the process then he made changes.
“Continue to burn and synthesize these bricks. When Xiangyang district begins to take shape, you will all be rewarded handsoly!”
The craftsn smiled looking very pleased.
Rebuilding Xiangyang district requires nurous bricks.
To increase the scale of things, Jiang Pengji specially ordered two more brick kilns to be built. Night and day, the burning to synthesize continues.
The charcoal needed for burning bricks finished, she even commanded them to go next door at Chengde county to buy at a lower price.
Possessing the bricks enables the houses to be built at ease. Manpower also increased by the thousands, so the rate of construction increased trendously.
“Friendship price is worth three coins, the opportunity must be seized.”
After a month, Jiang Pengji pulled out a few new land and house deeds.
Feng Jin and the rest looked at it, the nerves at their mouth almost stretched till they snapped.
Without any bias, they are too familiar with the land deeds at these places.
“Three coins.”
Qiguan Rang searched for three coins from his sleeves, then took one land deed from the pile.
Feng Jin sought for his money pouch, the side of his lips moved, there’s mostly gold and silver within so it’s tough to find three copper coins.
Luckily Xu Ke had spare coins and lent him three coins.
Shortly after, the land deeds were divided. The remaining ones were also snatched up.
What a joke, without snatching, the good spots will surely be taken by others.
One storey building is popular in current tis, these houses are also built efficiently.
However, considering the space these houses occupy, Jiang Pengji combined the style of buildings in Hejian and Shangjing and the ideas the viewers from the livestream contributed.
Everyone put their minds and effort together to maximise the space, they ca up with exquisite and elegant two and three sectioned small apartnts.
The area isn’t big, but its strength lies in its exquisite and impeccable design, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Even Feng Jin who is accustod to the ways of the world, he is full of praises for the small apartnt.
The first batch of houses will be completed soon, Jiang Pengji is personally motivated to offer so incentives to those subordinates who worked overti.
This land deed originally belongs to the district headquarters. Jiang Pengji used one coin to buy one deed. Then sold it for three coins to her subordinate.
Since one is poor, there’s no choice. Nothing good can be gained if she exploited her staff.
But it’s not an issue, she has houses that are almost built to completion.
The house and land deeds will be sold for three coins.
The viewers watching the livestream saw this and almost cried their eyes out.
Strear, the price of this house is too cheap, please award it countless hits!
