After conquering Chengde County, Jiang Pengji did not immediately set out to defend the king, but instead spent half a month to consolidate her power.

She generously gave An Xuan the 8,000 defeated captives and 10% of the money, which made him a little embarrassed.

An Xuan was not short of means, and he emphasized both kindness and severity, and clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. He took care of the 8,000 captives.

He stayed in Chengde County for two days, left with people and money, and set off for Huangshui.

Jiang Pengji was so busy that she had no extra thoughts to consider personal feelings. Wei Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest gain from the attack on Chengde County this time was not to gather the territory of Wanzhou, but to take over the manpower of the Red Lotus Sect.

Tens of thousands of captives, which would not be a big deal in other large-scale battles, were still a lot of benefits for Jiang Pengji.

After a whole year of rest and construction, Fengyi County is now the richest and most developed place in Wanzhou, followed by Shangyang County and Chengde County. Chengde County has been exploited by the Red Lotus Sect many times, and the population has been lost. In order to attract more refugees and develop the local economy, development and construction have become the top priority. Jiang Pengji pondered in the middle of the night and planned to assign his people to various places.

"... There is still too little manpower... I hope this King Qin League can dig into the corner..."

Even though Jiang Pengji is energetic and physically strong, she is also tired and bloodshot in the face of such a big stall.

Fortunately, she has the experience of starting from scratch and has accumulated rich experience in county construction and construction. Other places can be slightly modified and then copied. Fengyi County has iron ore, and Chengde County also has natural advantages and rich coal production, which can be used.

However, the most important thing at present is to select new soldiers and assign prisoners to reclaim wasteland, build roads, and build houses...

Although she has taken Chengde County, it is not easy. The entire army has hardly stopped and the soldiers are exhausted.

After taking Chengde County, she still has a lot of things to do.

Settling the prisoners and exploiting their labor are just small matters. Jiang Pengji has more troubles to deal with, such as the funeral affairs of the soldiers who died in the battle, the pensions for their families, and the arrangements for the disabled soldiers. In another month or two, spring will come. She can temporarily stop the progress of other things but cannot delay the arrangements for spring plowing. There are also the selection and training of new soldiers and the staffing arrangements of various counties...

Although she has become the de facto governor of Maruzhou,

Looking at the scenery, she is walking on thin ice and walking on a tightrope at high altitude.

In fact, she does not have enough troops. If there is a mess somewhere, she will be overwhelmed.

Twenty or thirty thousand troops can sit in a county, but it is difficult to deter a state.

Therefore, recruiting new soldiers and expanding the military force is the top priority at present.

Under the heavy pressure of work, several counselors are exhausted and wish they could move their homes to the government affairs office. Jiang Pengji can't rest either.

In addition to these things, Jiang Pengji also has to coordinate the troops from various places and mobilize the troops to prepare for the king.

"... God... give me a universal shovel..."

Jiang Pengji is most impatient with official duties. Dealing with words all day long, it is better to find someone to do it.

"What does the lord want a shovel for?" Yang Si was surprised.

Since Yang Si knew the real gender of Jiang Pengji, he thought he would be awkward, but it turned out that he thought too much.

As long as he didn't remind her deliberately, Yang Si subconsciously regarded her as a man.

Occasionally, he thought it was like a dream.

Such a heroic and brave lord who can fight against hundreds of people, charge into battle, conquer cities... How can he be a girl?

Whenever he had such doubts, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Pengji's chest, which clearly had no curve at all.

Looking at her face again, her features were regular, her eyebrows and eyes were heroic, and she really didn't have the masculinity that a man should have, but nowadays men like to wear flowers and powder, and wear red and green. According to this standard, Jiang Pengji can be considered a man.

So, this girl is fake, right?

Jiang Pengji said, "Using a shovel to dig out the wall, Jingrong... Don't you think we are too short of people? This is not scientific... How can you say that your master also owns a state? Not to mention how he has become a climate, but he is not as good as the best but better than the worst. Why hasn't there been any talent to come to him so far?"

She didn't ask for the top counselors to come to her, there should be some third-rate talents, right?

What's the result?

The great talents that others are eager for, she has broken double digits, and there is no middle-level talent.

Yang Si didn't know what "scientific" was, but in the context, it was barely understandable.

He said, "My lord, have you forgotten that the old man has not retired yet?"

Jiang Pengji stopped talking.

Liu She is the governor of Chongzhou, in his prime. In the words of the audience in the live broadcast room, he has a car and a house, a successful career, a mature and stable personality, and is a loving son-in-law. Jiang Pengji is indeed young and promising, a potential stock, but how can a ready-made successful person like Liu She be more attractive? If they really want to join the Liu family, Liu She is their first choice.

Yang Si thought he had hit her and eased his breath.

"My lord, don't worry, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

Compared to talents, Yang Si is more afraid of lack of time.

Give them enough buffer and development time. With Wei Ci's connections and the talents they have cultivated themselves, are they still afraid of lack of people?

Jiang Pengji nodded, frowning slightly.

"That's right."

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. She has plenty of time to manage it slowly.

The situation in the world is becoming more and more severe. Only by consolidating the foundation can we be invincible.

After discussing with everyone, Jiang Pengji planned to set off to serve the king in half a month. During this period, she traveled to various places in Wanzhou and was very busy.

At this time, an unexpected visitor was slowly entering Wanzhou, near Xiangyang County.

"Father, I just heard the news that the war in Chengde County has been over. Liu Xi is really amazing. It has only been half a month..." The young man in his early twenties bent over and got into the carriage, with a bit of surprise and admiration on his face, "If I had known it would be so fast, I might as well not change the route."

The whole family took refuge. As soon as they arrived at the border of Wanzhou, they heard that Chengde County was fighting. The two sides were fighting fiercely. In order to avoid accidental injuries, their family had to change the route and detoured a little. Now they are only half a day away from Xiangyang County, and the war is over.

A middle-aged man sat in the carriage, looking about 37 or 38 years old. The woman next to him was well-maintained. One could tell at a glance that she lived a life of luxury and never had to do anything with her hands. She looked much younger than her actual age, as if she was in her early 30s.

The woman was very graceful, reserved and elegant. Seeing that the young man's head and shoulders were covered with snow, she couldn't help but raise her hand and wipe them away with a handkerchief.

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and chuckled, "Haha, this is how you should have a son. Liu Zhongqing is so lucky."

The young man looked a little embarrassed. His own father praised other people's children in front of him, and he would be jealous.
