Xiao Yunzhan glanced at Lin Yiran.
"I'll go back after I've planted all the corn seeds. It'll probably take about four days."
"There are more farmlands in Pingliang City, but we don't have that many soldiers to help. The people have limited physical strength, so planting is slow."
It would be best to go back a few days later, otherwise if Lin Changshou doesn't handle it well, then the surprise will be lost...
"Give the people a couple of days to recover, and then they'll be back to normal." Lin Yiran glanced at Wan Suyun and Yao Wenhong.
"The eldest and second sisters-in-law should start recruiting the Heavenly God Army."
"Grain seeds can be given to the people for planting for free, but it's not easy to give out grain casually. It's easy to cause chaos over the amount of grain."
"Let's just follow the way it's done in Shuitian City, where every household sends someone to serve in the army and receives military pay."
After Lin Yiran finished speaking, she sent a message to Xiao Yunzhan.
[The military pay has been placed in the previous warehouse. Both warehouses are full.]
There are a lot of civilians in Pingliang City, but the number of soldiers recruited is not more than that in Shuitian City.
Because the young and middle-aged people in Pingliang City had already gone to Shuitian City and had become members of the Heavenly God Army.
Xiao Yunzhan nodded.
"Just do as Ranran said. If anyone in your family has joined the Heavenly God Army in Shuitian City, you can receive half of next month's salary in advance to help your family get by."
"Master He, have the registrars verify the household registration and make sure there are no omissions or over-collections."
Xiao Yunzhan looked at He Dongning who was concentrating on eating.
"...Okay, okay!" He Dongning was stunned for a moment, and quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.
"Don't worry, Prince Yongchang. I will definitely keep a close eye on it."
"Yes." Xiao Yunzhan looked at He Dongning and continued, "All the military pay is stored in the two warehouses we left last time. Please arrange for more people to keep an eye on it."
"What!" He Dongning stood up suddenly, his eyes almost popping out of his head with excitement.
He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll have someone take care of it right away. This is a serious matter."
After saying that, He Dongning ran out without waiting for Xiao Yunzhan to speak...
........
"Your Highness Lin Changshou respectfully welcomes Prince Yongchang."
Lin Changshou stood at the gate of Shuitian City, baring his teeth and saluting to Xiao Yunzhan with his fists clasped.
The two men looked at each other in the air, and Xiao Yunzhan immediately understood. The worry that had been hanging in his heart all the way was finally put at ease.
After Lin Changshou winked at Xiao Yunzhan, his eyes glided over to Lin Yiran's face, and his smile suddenly became even brighter.
"Your subordinate Lin Changshou respectfully welcomes General Long."
"General Long, you have worked hard on the journey. I have already had food prepared. You can rest as soon as you finish eating."
Lin Changshou rushed to the side of Lin Yiran's fire and consciously took the reins.
Lin Changshou has always been responsible for providing Liehuo with fodder. When he saw Lin Changshou approaching him, he just snorted twice without any excessive reaction and let Lin Changshou hold the reins.
"You're so thoughtful." Lin Yiran looked at Lin Changshou with satisfaction. "Are the vegetables and livestock in the barracks all right?"
Both places are managed by Lin Changshou, who has experience in growing vegetables and raising livestock.
She felt relieved to leave it to Lin Changshou.
After all, she had never raised those things, let alone grown vegetables, so she couldn't give any advice.
Lin Changshou walked towards the city holding the reins, looking up at Lin Yiran with a smile.
"The livestock are all growing well. They've grown a lot bigger since General Long left."
“The vegetables are growing better.”
When Lin Changshou talked about this, he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.
"It rained in Pingliang City a few days ago, and our Shuitian City also had a light rain. The vegetables were soaked by the rain and grew taller overnight..."
“.......”
Zhao Hu was standing next to Xiao Yunzhan's horse, looking at Lin Changshou, who was braying non-stop, speechlessly.
Four days ago, Lin Changshou arranged two members of the Lin family army to guard the city gate.
Those two men from the Lin family army were really good at guarding, one during the day and the other at night.
He stared with his big eyes wide open, staring towards the direction of Pingliang City.
He really admired the obedient Lin family soldiers under Lin Changshou.
Zhao Hu took a deep breath and shifted his attention from Lin Changshou's chattering to Xiao Yunzhan.
"Your Highness Prince Yongchang!"
Xiao Yunzhan was slightly stunned, then lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Hu.
"What is it?!"
"Mr. Changsun has already led people to clear the road surface and dig the canals on both sides. We are just waiting for Prince Yongchang to come back and lay the stones, and then we can continue."
Zhao Huguang felt uncomfortable when he heard Lin Changshou talking about the people of the Lin family army, and immediately told him about what the military advisor had done.
Xiao Yunzhan nodded.
"This king has seen it, it's well done, everyone, thank you for your hard work."
He would have to go back and ask Lin Yiran when the road could be built.
We have to let Lin Yiran rest for a while before we start building the road.
Zhao Hu grinned, "Indeed, Mr. Changsun was so tired that his mouth was bubbling and his skin was sunburned, but he finally shoveled the road."
"I have thicker skin, but I'm a little tanned. I'm not as miserable as Mr. Changsun."
"Let Mr. Changsun have a good rest. I will take care of the road construction."
Xiao Yunzhan thought about it and decided that he had to hand over the task of training soldiers to his subordinates.
He is not a general now. He needs to take charge of the overall situation, know how to delegate power, and use people well. He cannot control everything in his own hands.
He and Ranran are the most suitable people to discuss the road construction.
