Chapter 283
I was thinking that my sister was a new wife and had been busy all night, so she might not be in a good mood to wash up.
But she had let the hot water in the basin cool down.
The commotion inside was still quite intense.
Sure enough, my second sister's husband looks like someone who can bear children easily...
Fan smiled inwardly and sighed, then turned to see someone approaching.
Hurry up and go to greet them.
"Let's talk about it at noon."
"Why?" Xiao Hei and the others were all surprised. "Why is it noon?"
"You'll find out when you get married."
"..."
...
...
Now that she's married, she has to support her family, and Fan Xiaoxiao has one more goal in life and family to consider!
in this way.
She only hoped that she could stay in this place safely and avoid encountering barbarian invasions or war and banditry.
Fortunately, things went as planned.
Those low-probability and extremely troublesome things didn't happen.
A few days later, the group was greeted by the escorting troops.
Not a lot, but definitely not a little either.
Because he had promised the bandit leader Zhao Si here that he would be given an official position in the rebel army.
Even if you go to Qingzhou to get this, it will take time to deliver it.
Therefore, Fan Xiaoxiao was destined not to personally oversee this matter.
While transit hubs are important, Qingzhou, a suitable hinterland for business operations, has greater strategic value.
After much deliberation, Fan Xiaoxiao decided to leave Xiao Hei here to handle matters and build a qualified transit station.
Next, we need to arm everyone here!
Ultimately, even with an official position in Qingzhou, the legitimate rebels there wouldn't really care too much about this place.
In the end, the one who truly controls this place and Tianshan is none other than Fan Xiaoxiao!
...
...
A long and tiring journey.
This time, being on the plains was infinitely more comfortable than being in the mountains and forests.
In particular, Qingzhou even provided horse-drawn carriages for transportation this time.
This is almost a huge leap forward, like going from a slingshot to a cannon.
Especially now that she has a husband, after marriage, she can rightfully be taken care of.
As Fan Xiaoxiao stared at her beloved husband's retreating figure, she suddenly understood why girls couldn't open bottle caps in front of their boyfriends...
The large contingent of soldiers was displaying the flag of Qingzhou.
In such a chaotic and unclaimed border region, bandits dared not rob, and other remaining rebel forces dared not easily provoke them.
Fan Xiaoxiao and her group arrived at Qingzhou Central City with a smooth and comfortable journey.
Qingzhou City.
This place is well-connected in all directions, and just by looking at the city's name, which is derived from the name of a prefecture, you can tell how big it is.
After entering the city, I lifted the curtain to take a look. Although the people dared not come closer, they could tell at a glance that it was crowded and prosperous.
Gu Zhongtai moved closer to her and peered out through the curtains she had parted.
He smiled and said, "This place suffered from war and was once in decline."
"Later, we came here after many twists and turns. General Yu Cheng tricked the emperor into giving him a letter of appointment and made this place his base."
“Look.” He pointed.
There was a tower there, with lanterns faintly hanging on it; it must be brightly lit and decorated at night.
"That tower was originally severely damaged, but it has now been repaired, just like Qingzhou City."
As Fan Xiaoxiao watched the children playing carefree in the alleyway in the distance, a sense of responsibility suddenly welled up in her heart.
"Hmm." She lowered the curtain.
"Now that I'm here, I also want to do my part."
Gu Zhongtai smiled and looked at her for a long time before nodding solemnly, "Yes."
He ruffled her hair.
It felt wonderful to the touch, even her hair was as soft and warm as a loving wife's. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“With me here, Madam doesn’t need to work so hard.”
Fan Xiaoxiao looked up, smiled, and pinched his waist: "It's precisely because you're here that I have to work hard!"
Some people, some times.
Once you've got it, you don't want it taken away again.
No one will do.
...
...
Qingzhou City was heavily guarded.
Even the government was beginning to take shape.
Fan Xiaoxiao was amazed when she heard this.
Six doors.
Xiahou actually managed to create this legendary organization.
She clicked her tongue in amazement—no wonder he's the male lead.
But when Fan Xiaoxiao actually got to know them, she found that it wasn't like that at all.
"How could you think that?" Gu Zhongtai couldn't help but laugh.
"The Six Doors are just like the Six Ministries of the Imperial Court."
"Because they all worked in the government office in Qingzhou City, they were figuratively called the Six Doors."
"..." Fine, Fan Xiaoxiao has been tricked by time travel again.
She was holding a pile of scrolls in her hands at the moment.
She prepared everything diligently.
Since we're going to set up workshops and do business in Qingzhou, we naturally have to abide by the local rules.
Xiahou was adept at internal affairs, and his administration of each department was well-organized.
All residents of the jurisdiction were included in the fish-scale register.
Distribute abandoned land to displaced farmers.
If that wasn't enough, soldiers were sent to cultivate the land, thus ensuring both food supplies and security.
After all, with stricter control, it would be harder for enemy spies to infiltrate.
However, Fan Xiaoxiao has too many business deals to handle right now, so she has to register them one by one.
"Husband, why don't we go ask Xiahou if he can say something and get everything approved?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked, her group of subordinates.
She really didn't want to spend her time getting it done here.
Hearing "husband" from her was very pleasing to Gu, but he only took the things from her hands.
“Madam, go ahead with your work. I’ll take care of these things myself.”
"Xiahou is so meticulous in his work that he won't listen to Yu Cheng's advice."
Yu Chengjiu is the former Yu Dan.
As the man once favored by the princess, he also gained real power in Qingzhou in the imperial court.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a future emperor.
Xiahou wouldn't even give him face, let alone her.
Fan Xiaoxiao sighed.
She naturally couldn't let her husband work so hard alone, so she went with him to register each person in turn.
...
...
In just ten days.
Iron ore has also been found.
In chaotic times, everything is lacking except people.
Especially in a rare, stable and prosperous place like Qingzhou, there are naturally countless refugees.
These people were screened by Gu Zhongtai's Guyue Church, and any spies would be eliminated without anyone noticing.
The remaining elderly, women, and children are often the most vulnerable to starvation.
There are many of these people.
In the past, the people of Qingzhou would have had no choice but to give up most of their resources.
But then Fan Xiaoxiao arrived.
After re-establishing contact with Ji Yushu, the brewing craftsmen were escorted to a nearby area rich in grain.
The craftsmen grew their own sorghum and wheat to brew wine, because food was expensive in these chaotic times. If they didn't do this, things might get messy in the long run.
We have land, seeds, and manpower.
With the stable environment of Qingzhou, even "luxury goods" like alcohol, which were once considered undesirable in chaotic times, could be produced.
In addition, there is silkworm breeding and silk weaving.
There are also businesses selling dried meat, leather, and so on.
Fan Xiaoxiao's business quickly took off.
After collecting enough refugees, registering them for mining, and setting up the iron quenching shop.
The production capacity issue was then perfectly resolved.
Under the lamplight, Fan Xiaoxiao finished filling in the last volume of materials. Finally, she put down her pen and rubbed her hands together.
"Are you cold?" Gu Zhongtai asked.
Summer is approaching.
However, the temperature difference between day and night in Qingzhou is large, making it easy to catch a cold.
