Fishing is fun

The reconstruction and subsequent handover of Muzhou City were also proceeding step by step. Due to the shortage of manpower on Gaoting's side, Xie Ci simply asked the soldiers who remained in the barracks to move out and station directly in Muzhou City. The prefect Chen Kan, who was temporarily in charge of Muzhou City, was also busy holding meetings and discussions with his civil servants. Sometimes, when they needed Xie Ci's help, he would also drag him to listen to the reports that sounded like chanting sutras.

The superiors are all very busy, so the subordinates who are executing the tasks are also busy, especially the Linyuan Army, whose entire team is connected to the hotspot. They don't even have a chance to slack off. Others can take a break after finishing their work and then report, but if they exceed the time limit, Xie Ci will directly tag them in the group and question them. After they finish their work and clock in, Xie Ci will assign them another task.

Xie Ci couldn't stand the old scholar talking at him, so he simply called up the group chat to supervise his subordinates' work. He watched the 1 flash by on the screen with satisfaction, but suddenly noticed that the number of people was wrong, so he directly tagged the person who was missing:

You are the only one left. What happened? @【Patrol City Army-Mo Yu】

[Patrol Army-Moyu]:

No general, everything is normal! I have finished my patrol here. I was helping a fellow villager repair his roof just now and didn't have time to reply.

【Acknowledgement】：

I'm glad nothing happened. Can you repair the roof? It just so happens that the roof of a house in the east of the city has collapsed. Can you go over and give them a hand?

[Patrol Army-Moyu]:

……receive

Mo Yu closed his eyes resignedly and sighed. Why did he have to say one more word about repairing the roof? Now he has been given another task!

He climbed down from the ladder, packed up his things and prepared to go to the east of the city. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again. The Gaoting soldier who was patrolling with him saw that he was dejected and thought that he was tired, so he handed him his wine jug:

"Hey, brother, have a drink and take a break. You just finished your work, why don't you chat with us?"

"No, no," he waved his hand to decline the other party's kindness and smiled bitterly, "I still have work to do. The higher-ups just gave me an order."

"So fast?!" Brother Gao Ting was stunned. They had been patrolling together just now, and no soldier came to notify them when the roof was being repaired. How did this order come about?

Seeing that he was somewhat confused, Mo Yu put his hand on his shoulder and patted him several times with great sadness:

"Brother, I hope you never understand what a group is."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a mysterious manner, leaving Gao Ting scratching his head in confusion. What is a group?

However, he will soon find out what this disaster is.

After Xie Ci arranged his military duties in the group, he pricked up his ears to listen to what they were talking about. They were still talking about how to improve the efficiency of reconstruction. Seeing that the old scholar's dry lips wanted to spit out something again, Xie Ci made a decisive move and interrupted:

"Okay, stop arguing! The priest gave me a magic weapon called a group group, which allows people who are thousands of miles apart to communicate with each other. When I return, I will ask her to bring your people in as well."

"Really? You are worthy of being a priest, you really have great powers," Chen Kan, who was sitting in the first seat, smiled and complimented. The dark circles under his eyes showed his fatigue. "Then I will leave this matter to General Xie. Everyone, disperse."

He waved his hands weakly. No one knew better than him how troublesome it would be if these people argued. Seeing this, Xie Ci also planned to leave this place quickly, but was stopped by someone:

"Thank you for staying, General. I would like to discuss the matter of reporting back to the court with you in person."

Xie Ci turned around and met Chen Kan's inquiring gaze. Now there were only two of them in the room, so it was convenient for them to talk.

Half a month later

"Who on earth came up with this damn group?! They don't even let me take a break. I'm dreaming about clocking in!"

"Hush! This is a magical weapon bestowed by the High Priest, don't talk nonsense!"

The soldiers who were receiving supplies at the city gate couldn't help complaining, especially the people Gao Ting transferred to help. They had just experienced the malice from the 21st century and had not yet adapted to the group work of college students. They complained for a while. Tong Zhenzhen happened to be squatting nearby and slacking off. She had planned to sleep until noon, but was pulled out by Xie Baopi to work. She yawned all the time and did not forget to play Landlord online with Chen Miao.

Such a leisurely attitude inevitably attracted the attention of the soldiers. The people from Gaoting did not dare to offend the priest too much, but the Linyuan Army was closer to the priest. After all, they found that the priest was surprisingly easy to get along with, and did not put on airs like the high priest. Mo Yu even plucked up the courage to bend down and ask:

"Master Priest, didn't General Xie hold a group meeting to supervise you? Why are you still..."

He pointed at the supplies under Tong Zhenzhen's feet that she was originally responsible for carrying, but because she had not been working, the supplies had piled up into a small mountain and were about to bury her.

Tong Zhenzhen waved her hand nonchalantly and was about to explain when Xie Ci's unhappy voice came from the screen in front of them:

"Tong Zhenzhen, you've been standing there for a long time. Are you slacking off again?"

Mo Yu reacted quickly and squatted down, pretending to move the box under Tong Zhenzhen's feet to cover up the fact that he was gossiping. When he looked up, he gave her a helpless smile with an expression that said "Look, I told you so."

Unexpectedly, Tong Zhenzhen was not panicked at all. She raised her left hand and secretly made a gesture to him to stay calm. Under Mo Yu's astonished gaze, she stood still for a moment, maintaining the expression of half yawning and squinting at the screen. Her whole body did not move at all, and she did not even blink.

This operation really confused Mo Yu. After moving the boxes onto the cart, he secretly observed her to see what she was going to do.

"Tong Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you moving again?" Xie Ci on the other side of the screen frowned, leaned forward to look, and knocked in the air.

"General... My network is... lagging..."

Tong Zhenzhen used her excellent network card acting skills that she had developed during the online class. She answered slowly with her mouth opening and closing, and even raised her arms and blinked slowly, which frightened Xie Ci:

"The network is stuck? Isn't your network provided by some system? How can it be stuck?"

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Xie Ci stopped moving and hung up the line suspiciously, intending to try again.

As soon as the meeting was over, Tong Zhenzhen immediately returned to her usual soft and boneless appearance, leaning lazily on the cart board, moving her sore shoulders and neck which had been in the same position for a few times, and kept hanging up the meeting requests sent by Xie Ci. She also pretended to be miserable and cried in the group to tell Xie Ci that due to a system malfunction, the internet connection on her side was too bad to hold the meeting.

[Hehe, dear, please do not raise the issue with the host! Our network is 360 degrees without blind spots and is Thomas-like and unobstructed! ]

Mo Yu was stunned and worshipped Tong Zhenzhen's magical operation. Although the other soldiers didn't quite understand, they realized later how powerful the priest was and rushed forward to ask for advice.

"Oh, just slacking off, how easy is that!" Tong Zhenzhen was surrounded by the crowd, her nose almost raised to the sky in the admiring gaze, "If the task is really unfinished or you are too tired and want to take a break, just follow my example to install the network card and then hang up. If you want to chat but are afraid of being discovered, it's even easier. Create a small group - oh, you haven't learned it yet, right? Come, the real God will teach you how to create a small group!"

Tong Zhenzhen waved her hand generously and selflessly, sharing her lifelong experience of slacking off with a group of soldiers who were devastated by Xie Ci. A group of seven-foot-tall men squatted devoutly beside the little girl, as if they had become her loyal believers.

For a time, the bad habit of slacking off, which was taught by the priest himself, spread throughout the garrison in Muzhou City. Xie Ci was frequently called to meetings because of this, and he was so annoyed that he crushed three teacups in one day, wondering why his efficiency had dropped again.

He was puzzled. The old scholar opposite him started spitting again. This time without Chen Kan in charge, they quarreled even more unscrupulously. Xie Ci moved his seat farther away without saying a word. Chen Kan said that he would go to Beijing to report in person, and Xie Ci just threw the mess to him and got away with it. It was really hateful!

"You are really going too far! If we do as you say, how long will it take to complete the reconstruction of Muzhou City?! General Xie, please give us your judgment!"

The civil servants in the room were arguing with each other, their faces flushed, and they all looked at Xie Ci, which made him stiffen all over and point at himself:

"Me? It's none of my business—"

Before he finished speaking, his attention was attracted by the message that suddenly popped up in the group. His eyes suddenly widened, and after reading the whole thing, his face darkened, his sharp lips were pursed, and a murderous aura emanated from his whole body, which frightened the civil servants who were originally chattering into silence, not daring to make a sound.

[Patrol Army-Moyu]:

Oh, this little group is so convenient, it must be really amazing! Otherwise, if we chat while working, the general will find out!

【Patrol City Army-Wu Dialect】:

Yes, I have been pretending to be offline to be lazy these days. I also learned a few tricks of playing Landlord from the true God recently. I will teach you tomorrow!

These two smart guys didn't realize that their messages were being shared with other people, and they started chatting in the big group that Xie Ci had created until Xie Ci couldn't stand it anymore:

【Acknowledgement】：

Really? Do you want to teach me how to fight? @【巡城军-吴语】

【Patrol City Army-Wu Dialect】:

…

[Patrol Army-Moyu]:

…

After that, the two of them became completely motionless as if they were dead. Xie Ci suppressed the bulging blue veins on his forehead and gritted his teeth. Soon, the two of them would be completely motionless as if they were dead.

He kicked the stool away and walked away with a gloomy face. The loud noise scared everyone else and they lowered their heads in horror, thinking that they had made too much noise and angered this living devil. They quickly put aside their useless arguments and went about their work in a down-to-earth manner.

Xie Ci rushed out of the prefect's mansion with big strides. His legs, which had been slender and strong from years of martial arts training, walked several miles in a short moment. The wind outside made him calm down a little. He tried to calm down his anger and opened the group chat to give an order:

【Acknowledgement】：

Those who pretend to disconnect the internet and those who are lazy, get out of here. I will punish you to finish the meal that Deputy General Xie made today. If you can't finish it, you don't have to come back! If anyone dares to learn from that scoundrel and be lazy again, you will be in trouble! @All members

[Patrol Army-Moyu]:

No, General! Last time, after the brothers had dinner with Deputy General Xie, the toilets in the barracks were full for three days. Someone will die!

Xie Ci ignored the wailing in the group and quickly scanned the street with his eyes. As expected, he quickly and accurately locked onto Tong Zhenzhen who had sneaked out from the crowd to look for snacks. She had bought quite a few snacks, with a candied haws in her mouth and she kept throwing the snacks she liked into the arms of Ma Chengyun, who was working as a laborer. He had a sugar cake in his left hand and a skewer of meat and rice noodles in his right hand, and followed behind, complaining continuously.

Xie Ci's eyelids twitched, especially when he glimpsed Ma Chengyun behind her. He became even more irritated for no reason. He stretched out his long arms and easily lifted her up:

"Tong Zhenzhen, are you so brave?!"
