Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...
The next day, Zhao Jun and Xiao He had just finished their local breakfast in Linjiao County.
After a night's rest, everyone recovered.
Especially Liu Ji, who started clamoring to go out for a walk after dinner.
Ever since they came to Ba County, they have either been staying at home or running around on the road, and have not had a good time to explore the city.
Zhao Jun didn't stop her, as she had the same intention.
Now that we have arrived in Linjiao County, of course we have to take a walk around.
As they walked out of the door and were discussing which direction to go, Shi Hong suddenly appeared in front of the door.
"Hello, Lord Zhao. Did you have a good rest last night?"
Shi Hong stood at the door and said with a smile on his face.
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment before he could react. Why was this guy here so early?
"Uh, Boss Shi, what's going on so early in the morning?"
Zhao Jun looked at him in confusion.
"Didn't Master Zhao ask me to help find some local workers yesterday? I've already found some, so I came to see you."
Shi Hong smiled and rubbed his head.
"Have you found it?"
Zhao Jun was surprised. She didn't expect Shi Hong to act so quickly. She just told her last night, but he had already found it so early in the morning?
Shi Hong nodded affirmatively, he had indeed found it.
"Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look, Xiao He."
She looked back at Xiao He and wanted to ask him if he wanted to go with her.
Xiao He met Zhao Jun's gaze, and also saw Shi Hong's gaze behind her.
Suddenly, the question that had been lingering in Xiao He's mind yesterday was answered.
He was silent for a moment.
"Liu Ji and I will go take a look on the street first and then meet up with you later."
"By the way, since we have just arrived in Linjiao County, sir, don't forget to bring your captain."
Xiao He added.
"Of course they are inseparable."
Zhao Jun smiled, turned around and left with Shi Hong.
"Hey Xiao He, that Shi Hong has taken a fancy to Lord Zhao, right?"
Liu Ji watched the whole process and spoke with confidence.
Liu Ji is a man who has been around many women, so it would be strange if he couldn't see Shi Hong's intentions which were so obvious.
"I see."
Xiao He nodded, and the two of them walked in another direction.
"Then you just let the adults leave with him alone without trying to fight for it."
Liu Ji said this as if jokingly.
Xiao He glared at him.
"Don't talk nonsense. What am I fighting for? I don't like her."
"Besides, when did I ever let them be alone together? We have the captain with us."
He didn't want to get involved in the matter between the two people, and just wanted to make his attitude clear to Shi Hong.
However, he would not let the two of them stay alone together. He couldn't tell what kind of person Shi Hong was, and Lord Zhao's safety had to be guaranteed.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Do you think Lord Zhao would be interested in Shi Hong?"
Liu Ji looked around curiously as he walked.
At this time they had arrived at the bustling market in Linjiao County.
Liu Ji was attracted by the new and interesting things around him and quickly put this question behind him.
Xiao He pondered this problem secretly.
He suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago, the strange feeling he had when he first met that person.
It was only now that he realized what was happening after so long.
Xiao He laughed, sighed and murmured.
"I don't think Shi Hong can compete with that guy."
He shook his head and quickly caught up with Liu Ji to stroll around.
On the other side, Shi Hong brought Zhao Jun to a yard.
He opened the door and saw a group of people sitting in the yard. When they saw Shi Hong, they all stood up respectfully.
Shi Hong pointed at one of the older men and said.
"This is Chai Wu. No one in the entire Linjiao community knows more about construction than him."
"The others all work under Uncle Chai, and they are all good hands."
"Well, sir, I have done a good job in fulfilling your request."
Shi Hong patted his chest boastfully.
Zhao Jun took a quick look around and saw that the man seemed to be someone who could really work.
This Shi Hong is indeed a local tyrant, and he is very efficient.
"Boss Shi is truly amazing."
Zhao Jun gave him a thumbs up.
"Boss Shi, what are you talking about? We all rely on you for care. If you need anything, just tell us."
Chai Wu commanded his many brothers, and everyone nodded repeatedly.
"It's not really an order, but this gentleman wants to build a road in Linjiao County and is looking for workers. I thought of you. Don't worry, the wages are still the same."
Chai Wu said generously.
"Boss Shi is taking care of our business again. Thank you, Boss Shi."
Zhao Jun stood silently by and listened to these people express their gratitude.
She had a clear feeling that the pressure of being an official here could not compare to the reputation of the Shi family.
These people all came for Shi Hong's face.
But never mind, as long as it can be used, she doesn't mind it.
"We'll need your help in road construction. The construction period may not be short, but we will pay you according to the time you complete the work."
"Next, let me tell you about the road surface that needs to be repaired."
Zhao Jun shouted at these people.
Now that we have found the person, we can start working.
She will not move on the complicated mountain roads outside for the time being, but she wants to pave the cement roads in the county town first.
In the following time, Zhao Jun chatted carefully with Chai Wu and those people.
Shi Hong stood behind her and watched her speak silently without interrupting.
"This is the general process, and the materials are what I just mentioned."
"I'll be with you tomorrow when we officially start work. You'll get the hang of it after you've laid it once."
