It was only in the past one or two months that Bailong City had a water source, and relief porridge was distributed every day, which helped to restore some of the health of the weak people.
Otherwise, two months ago, he couldn't even recruit 5,000 soldiers.
Shen Yong nodded, "Not bad."
"The water shortage in Bailong City will be resolved tonight."
Upon hearing this, Prefect Liu's eyes widened in shock and excitement. "On behalf of the people of Bailong City, I would like to thank King Qianhuang for his concern."
The corners of Chen Yong's mouth curled up.
"From now on, White Dragon City will be managed by my eldest sister-in-law, Madam Shen."
"The prefectural government office is Madam Shen's residence."
"The 50,000 soldiers are under the management of Madam Shen, and she is responsible for distributing their salaries and wages."
Cheng Suihua, who had been prepared, stood up and said with a bow, "Yes, I will definitely protect Bailong City, King Qianhuang, rest assured."
Magistrate Liu turned around in surprise and looked at the delicate Cheng Suihua.
The two people's eyes met in the air, with profound meaning.
Cheng Suihua smiled without any fear, "I'll have to trouble Master Liu to give me more advice in the future."
"...I dare not!" Prefect Liu hurriedly bowed, "It is an honor to assist the Madam in managing White Dragon City."
"Madam, if you have anything, you can tell me at any time."
Magistrate Liu glanced at Lan Xin who was following Cheng Suihua and gave a dry laugh.
You can tell at first glance that this woman is a martial artist.
The eldest lady doesn't look like the kind of woman who stays in the harem. Let's see what she does next.
Anyway, he is not responsible for military pay and food, he only needs to follow the instructions of the eldest lady.
Qianhuang City was rebuilt so well by Chen Yong, I think the eldest lady will definitely build Bailong City well as well.
"You're too polite, Lord Liu." Cheng Suihua raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly.
That night, Chen Yong filled all the rivers and ditches in Bailong City with water.
Overnight, all the dry wells in Bailong City were filled with sufficient water.
Early the next morning, the people of Bailong City cheered with drums and gongs.
Magistrate Liu didn't even have time to put on his clothes and rushed to the well in the mansion wearing only some underwear.
Seeing the water almost reaching the wellhead, Magistrate Liu squatted beside the well excitedly, stretched out his hand to scoop up a handful of water from the well, and drank it impatiently.
“Such sweet water!!”
The housekeeper stood nearby, grinning from ear to ear, "Sir, we in Bailong City are no longer short of water."
"King Qianhuang is truly a god." Prefect Liu sighed as he looked at the clear well water.
"Inform everyone, this water was given by King Qianhuang. Anyone who disrespects King Qianhuang will be killed without mercy!!"
"Yes!!" the butler responded and ran out excitedly.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Zhao Tongpan hurried in.
"Sir, something happened. Ran Xiangyu jumped out of the post station window and ran to the prefectural government office to find King Qianhuang."
The smile on Governor Liu's face froze, and his brows furrowed.
"Why don't you send someone to take her back quickly?"
"Knock her out and take her away. We can't let her cause any trouble right now. If we really can't...lock her up in a cell."
"We've sent people after her, but we don't know how long she's been away."
Judge Zhao frowned, looking annoyed.
I had just seen water in the well this morning and was excited when I heard this bad news.
"Let's go, let's go and take a look."
......
"Get out of the way and let me in!!"
Ran Xiangyu glared at the soldiers guarding the gate and shouted at the top of her voice,
"Do you know who I am? How dare you block me from entering?"
"Wait for me... When this princess sees the prince, she will insist that he punish you severely!!"
God knows how excited she was when she saw Shen Yong riding a tall horse and leading a long line of soldiers into the city.
She stood at the window and shouted at the top of her lungs for a long time, but Shen Yong couldn't hear her.
It was all because there were too many people watching on the street and the noise was too loud, which affected her reunion with Shen Yong.
Unfortunately, the tactless Zhao Tongpan ordered the servant to lock the door of the inn, so she couldn't rush out.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. The wet nurse tied the clothes together with a bed sheet overnight. In the morning, when the servants were not paying attention, she grabbed the bed sheet and slid down from the window.
This time, she said she would meet Shen Yong no matter what.
As a man, as long as she shows weakness and coaxes him well, Shen Yong will definitely forgive her.
She couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, the position of princess might be taken by someone else.
But she saw a strange woman following Chen Yong. The woman was so close to Chen Yong that it was obvious that she had ulterior motives.
Ran Xiangyu took a deep breath and glared at the gatekeeper with all her anger.
The two soldiers looked at Ran Xiangyu shouting expressionlessly, with a hint of impatience in their eyes.
Who dares to call herself a princess?
How could the princess be so ignorant of etiquette?
"Leave now, or don't blame us for being rude!"
The soldier pointed the broadsword at Ran Xiangyu and said, "You've disturbed the prince. How many heads do you have left?"
"Get out of here now!"
"How dare you tell me to get out!?" Ran Xiangyu laughed angrily, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am the prince's princess, and everyone in the capital knows this."
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask the prince whether this young lady, Ran Xiangyu, is the wife written in the marriage certificate."
"When the time comes, humph, you will cry."
The soldier listened to Ran Xiangyu's confident words, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
The prince brought his six sisters-in-law with him, so why didn’t he bring the princess with him?
How could they know that Ran Xiangyu was driven away from Qianhuang City?
After hesitating for a long time, the soldier frowned and looked at Ran Xiangyu.
"No loud noises allowed, wait!"
After saying that, the soldier turned and went into the prefectural government office.
Ran Xiangyu watched the soldiers go in to report, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
She was taking a gamble, hoping that God would bless her and allow her to meet Shen Yong this time.
If you meet people, there is still room for improvement.
........
"Sister-in-law, this bunch of keys contains the keys to several warehouses in the prefectural government office."
Chen Yong handed a bunch of silver keys to Cheng Suihua, and then took out a bunch of golden keys.
"This bunch of keys is the key to the barracks warehouse."
"There's plenty of food and silver in the warehouse, so just use it freely, sister-in-law."
These warehouses are the largest in Bailong City, and they are all packed full.
Less than one-fifth of the food stored in the space had been used up.
No matter how big the warehouses here are, they are not as big as those in the capital, and the warehouses of those wealthy families are not small either.
He left 10 million taels of silver to his sister-in-law, which was enough to pay military salaries, recruit soldiers and transform the entire city.
Now that there is no shortage of silver, food, and water, there will naturally be no shortage of manpower soon.
Compared with Fanjing City, the situation in Bailong City is relatively good. At least the people have recovered a little and many things can be done directly.
