Wu Jiang initially didn't think it was a big deal.
It's just that there's one more mouth to feed.
But after he learned about Chinchilla's identity and her background...
Wu Jiang was completely unable to remain calm.
Well, now there's another problem.
Compared to Wu Jiang's dejected look as he watched the three women, Liu Feng was infinitely happier.
Every day, I would inspect the construction progress of the county government office, check on the news from my own business, and handle some administrative matters.
While I'm at it, I'm also considering how to make an incision at Taihe Pharmacy.
While taking a look at the city walls and thinking about better defense methods, a day passed by.
Until this day, an urgent document was delivered to the emperor, who was sitting in the Southern Study.
"Your Majesty, a secret report has arrived from the border."
Long Yi opened his eyes, which looked somewhat tired.
At this moment, sitting next to the emperor was his elder sister, Princess Linglong.
Princess Linglong had only been back for a short time, and these past few days she had been telling the Emperor about what she had seen and heard in Liu Feng's Zhengde County.
When the emperor heard that Liu Feng had built an iron bridge deep in the mountains, high in the clouds, he was still shocked, even though he had already witnessed Liu Feng's abilities.
As the emperor, she knew very well that the commercial value of what Liu Feng had created was enormous, not to mention its strategic value.
For the mountainous region of Youzhou, such a passage was an invaluable asset.
It's like having a direct highway when transporting a large army; what's even more terrifying is that this road leads directly to Dasanguan.
The key is Liu Feng's attitude. I thought he would be like other men, with no resistance to women, but he showed no interest in Linglong at all.
The emperor had already deeply sensed that Liu Feng was a man of such unwavering resolve, and that if he continued to develop in this way, he would undoubtedly become a major threat to the entire empire.
Long Yi is currently racking his brains trying to figure out a way to completely control Liu Feng.
Hearing another secret report from the border made Long Yi even more stressed.
"Bring it here."
Long Yi said weakly.
Holding it in his hand, Long Yi immediately perked up when he saw the seal on it; it was an urgent 800-level delivery.
Upon opening it, Long Yi was even more delighted to see Linghu Xiaoshan's elegant handwriting.
"Your Majesty, the border is in dire need of information, and the situation is extremely critical. The two kingdoms of Wu and Yue have joined forces to form a semi-encirclement of us, and our army is unable to withstand the enemy's superior strength."
"Your Majesty, please send someone to find Liu Feng immediately and discuss a solution."
"General Linghu, General Linghu."
"She really is Liu Feng's woman; she thinks of Liu Feng in everything, big or small."
"However, this is also an opportunity you have given me."
After reading the information, Long Yi was very happy. Wasn't this an opportunity to control Liu Feng?
"Someone, summon Fang Youwei immediately and have him bring the Ministry of War to compile a complete report on the recent battles."
"After everything is sorted out, hand it all over to the Eldest Princess."
Long Yi casually handed the letter in his hand to Linglong.
Upon hearing this, Linglong's expression immediately changed, and she abruptly raised her head.
It's obvious what the emperor is up to now.
It seems I'll have to go to Youzhou again.
Although Linglong now admires and respects Liu Feng very much, she feels that she has absolutely no romantic feelings for him.
But the emperor insisted on sending him there repeatedly.
She was naturally a little unhappy.
Who is she? She's the emperor's own sister, after all. Why should she have to fawn over a mere county magistrate all day long?
Even if he was a good ruler, even if he commanded the unparalleled Tiger Roar Army, even if he could invent all sorts of strange and wonderful things, even if he held the Emperor's Sword.
But his official position was only that of a county magistrate.
Well, since it's a matter of national importance, I'll definitely deliver the message. But this time, Linglong is handling it strictly by official procedures.
I won't have any other thoughts.
Time flew by, and a few days later, the basic structure of the county government office had been completed.
The reason why the progress is so fast now is mainly because the group of people who built the trenches are now free.
They were all willing to stay and continue their journey back, which resulted in more manpower available.
Liu Feng instructed Lin Xiaoxi to assign these people to work on the construction of the county government office, while also assigning some others to work on the construction of the commercial street.
Since the last battle with the combined forces of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Northern Barbarians, Liu Feng has made new plans for the commercial street. Half a month has passed, and now more than a dozen brand-new buildings have appeared on the commercial street.
Because more and more people are moving in, many of them have nowhere to live, so Liu Feng built these residences.
"General, the houses here will be completed in two days at most."
"According to the general's plan, once all of these are built, the foundation of the commercial street will be fully in place."
Lin Xiaoxi led Liu Feng around the commercial street, giving him a detailed report on the daily construction progress.
The commercial street is much more developed now than when people first moved in.
The entire commercial street now resembles a triangle magnified countless times.
One side is a commercial street built along the river, which is now the most commercially developed area in Zhengde County, Liufeng.
