That night, Old Lady Gongsun urgently summoned everyone. Whether it was the teacher who was studying the blueprints, Wu the carpenter who was making the machine, Lin Tong, or the people from down the mountain, they all rushed back.
"Now that everyone is here, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Dr. Zhong, how's your research going? When will you be able to manufacture the machines needed for the oil pressing plant and sugar refining plant?"
Grandma Gongsun looked serious.
“Grandma, the first batch of machines will probably take another half month to arrive,” Zhong Yan replied after doing some calculations.
In reality, a normal machine would definitely take several months, but Wu the carpenter and Lin Tong were both capable and much faster than normal people, so half a month was enough.
“Very good.” Old Madam Gongsun nodded.
"I called you here today not only to check on the progress of the factory machines, but also for another very important matter."
"Momo discovered spies from the Liangzhou rebels among the refugees she recruited last time, and overheard the conversation between the two spies."
"They said that the Liangzhou rebels suffered a defeat in Liangzhou, and their leader, the Mighty King, was unwilling to accept it, so he set his sights on Qingzhou."
"Judging from the current situation, they probably want to take advantage of this winter to capture the provincial capital of Qingzhou, and then gradually take over the entire Qingzhou."
"Those two spies incited many refugees to try to sneak in, but the prefect of the provincial capital delayed opening the gates, and they were later unexpectedly recruited by us."
"Who are those two people?" Liang Shu asked in surprise.
Judging from the behavior of that group of people, there was no sign of a spy at all. They all ate like the back of their hand, and then fell fast asleep after eating!
"Jiang Dashan and his brother Jiang Le are rebels from Liangzhou. They were sent here on a mission, but we don't know why they came here and haven't made any moves."
Grandma Gongsun had a serious face.
Liang Shu: "..."
Could it be that the food is too good and they don't want to go back?
"Therefore, we must prepare in advance and not allow the Liangzhou rebels to discover us!"
The old lady was filled with unease, for she knew very well how formidable General Weiwu's army was.
Even if they were defeated, they could still make a comeback after a period of development. They have been able to fight against the Liangzhou army for so long.
However, apart from the old lady, the group of time travelers opposite them were not so anxious. They looked at each other and all had "troublemaking" expressions on their faces.
"Grandma Gongsun, will we continue to recruit new refugees?" Liang Yu asked quietly.
After thinking for a moment, Old Lady Gongsun nodded and said, "Of course we have to recruit refugees. The Mountain Goddess asked us to build a factory, so we will definitely need more people to work. Recruiting new refugees will not only save their lives, but also bring us benefits."
No matter what, the task given by the Mountain Goddess must be completed!
However, Old Lady Gongsun was worried that if she went to other places to recruit refugees, she would encounter spies from Liangzhou again.
"I think we should kill them both to prevent future trouble. What do you think?"
Old Mrs. Gongsun's face hardened.
Huangxian County is not yet fully developed. If the Liangzhou army attacks, Huangxian County will surely be defeated!
Then everything the Mountain Goddess had built here would be gone, and she would never allow such a thing to happen!
"Grandma, I have an idea!" Liang Yu, disguised as a man, silently raised her hand.
"I think we don't necessarily have to kill them; there are better ways to resolve this!"
"A better way?" Old Mrs. Gongsun looked over in confusion.
What better way is there than to kill them both?
After thinking for a moment, Liang Yu explained her plan.
After he finished speaking, he received the approval of the group of time travelers.
Grandma Gongsun was shocked for a long time, but finally agreed.
"By the way, Miss Xia has invented a jade pendant for warmth. You should all take a look."
The old lady handed over the warm, smooth jade pendant.
Everyone who tried it was immediately captivated, their eyes shining as they gazed at the little girl.
Xia Yan scratched her head: "I've tried it. Only by using jade and agate can the magic inside be stored for a longer time."
"Even a jade pendant of this quality would probably only last for half a month outside."
"Half a month is a long time." Liang Shu felt the warmth in her palm and was deeply shocked.
Xia Yan: "It's a pity we couldn't find any crystals. If we had a large quantity of crystals, they might be able to replace these jade pendants and benefit more people."
"No need, jade pendants and agate are fine. I've thought of a business opportunity that can help us accumulate start-up capital for our factory's development. Would you like to hear about it?"
Liang Shuyi's eyes were dark and bright.
