We'll find out what the heat looks like in two days.

On the sixteenth day, the master of Yangmen County came.

"Lord Meng, the things have already arrived in part, this is the account book, our adults wanted to send it in person, but he went to the countryside to arrest people."

Meng Changqing took the account book, looked through it and asked, "Who are you arresting?" ”

The master of Yangmen County laughed dryly, "Arrest the person you want, our county has not recruited enough soldiers, and the adults will personally go to the countryside to inquire about this matter." ”

"How many are there now?"

"Barely a thousand." The master explained, "It's not that we adults are not dedicated, it's really difficult to do this thing. ”

"I know. I'm sorry for you to make a trip, and go back and tell you adults how much you want to send first. ”

"Yes." When the master left, he took a closer look at this place, and when he went back to see Mao Chunfang, he said: "The life of Beishan County was similar to that of the Jie Maru Savage, the county yamen was an adobe house, and the gate was tied up with wooden strips, and Lord Xiao Meng was very pitiful. ”

Mao Chunfang had just come back from scolding people in the countryside, his throat was dry and smoking, and he didn't speak until he finished pouring two bowls of water, "People are born different, don't look at him pitiful now, but he will never be able to live in Liangzhou for the rest of his life." ”

The master then poured water for him, "Could it be that this little Meng... Extremely talented? ”

Mao Chunfang held the bowl and laughed twice, "I can't see if he has talent, but I know that he has a backer." ”

"Your Excellency, you might as well tell me that I have inadvertently offended that backer."

"You still want to offend? I'm afraid you and I will never see that person in our lives. Mao Chunfang got back to business, "What did Master Xiao Meng say about the servant's affairs?" ”

"Master Xiao Meng said how many will be sent first."

Mao Chunfang said: "It can only be like this. ”

As soon as the master of Yangmen County left, Meng Changqing immediately took the account book back to the yamen.

Things arrived one after another, and all the materials she applied for arrived at one point, Meng Changqing wrote down the numbers and took a piece of paper again.

"Bafang, there is something for you to do." Meng Changqing said while writing, "Wait a while, you take this note and take someone to Yangmen County to pick up the goods, our cars and horses alone are definitely not enough, you ask Yangmen County to borrow a few, remember to pay attention to safety on the road." ”

After finishing speaking, he handed the strip to Bafang.

Bafang scratched his face, "Young Master, who should I take with me?" I haven't done anything like this, so I'll go with Brother Dai. ”

"Look at the things on the strip." Meng Changqing taught him to do things, "Most of them are tools, and tool loading takes up a lot of space, and if you want to transport these things back, you need at least seven or eight vehicles, and each vehicle is equipped with at least three people."

On the way, you have to pass through dangerous mountains, just in case, there are more people.

Find thirty men on the other side of the stove. ”

Eight sides were embarrassed, "Those people led by Captain Zhang are not very good-tempered, and when I call them to do things, they may not be able to shout moving." ”

Meng Changqing's hand, which was about to cross, stopped, "It's not that you call them to do things, you are the person next to me, your words are what I mean, if you say they don't listen, then you go to Zhang Yuan."

If Zhang Yuan follows his subordinates and doesn't take your words seriously, you come to me again. ”

"Okay." Bafang was not confident, "I'll try it." ”

"Octagon." Meng Changqing stopped him, "You have to have a way to do things, although you are young and weak, there is no need to scare them."

Even if those people complain, it has nothing to do with us.

Their hard work is not what you young master and I put on their heads, everyone is doing things for the imperial court. ”

"Hmmm! I know what to say. ”

"Teach you another truth, everything is the same, don't go over the middle level to find trouble yourself.

You don't have to go to the name and pull people in person, just find Zhang Yuan and ask him for people, if you are afraid that those people are not easy to manage, take Zhang Yuan with you.

You just have to give orders to Zhang Yuan, if he can't manage his subordinates, it's his business, it's his face that he loses, just watch the excitement when the time comes. ”

Bafang nodded at Meng Changqing, "I understand, young master." ”

Meng Changqing counted the time for Bafang to see how long it would take for him to come and go.

In the pit, there was the sound of the beads of the abacus colliding, and after the last set of numbers was calculated, Meng Changqing was about to blow out the candle and go out, when he saw the door curtain being lifted.

Her mother walked in, followed by her mother with a small casserole in her hand.

"Mother, mother." Meng Changqing pulled over the small bench and helped them sit down.

"Your mother cooked you red date soup, drink it while it's hot." Wen said, "I know that you don't like the skin of red dates, and your mother peeled the skin of red dates when you cooked it." ”

"Thank you, mother."

Wen helped Meng Changqing sort out the things on the table, and saw that she was almost finished drinking the soup before saying, "When I came over, I saw Bafang taking people out. ”

"I told him to pick up something."

"Changqing, this is the first thing you did for the emperor in the true sense. No matter how hard it is, don't give up halfway. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

From the moment she brought up this matter, Meng Changqing never thought of giving up, she expected the countless problems she would encounter in the process, and even thought about what if Yan Jun ignored Jiemaru and called directly?

All kinds of problems have been thought of to deal with them, and only then did he guarantee in front of Wei Fangyun that the city wall could be built in two months.

Mother is right, this is the first thing she did for the emperor in the name of her Meng Changqing.

The success or failure of this matter is not only related to the opinion of the emperor and courtiers about her, but even affects her father's reputation.

After noon, Bafang had not yet returned, and the soldiers from Hongjia County arrived first.

Hua Rujin personally brought it over.

After Meng Changqing received the financial report, he hurriedly greeted him, "Lord Hua, why are you here in person?" Meng Changqing stretched out his hand to help him dismount, "It's windy outside, Lord Hua will follow me to the house to rest." ”

"Master Xiao Meng, don't be busy, let's get down to business first." Hua Rujin took out a two-inch-thick roster from his arms, "There are a total of 2,000 people here, who will check it?" ”

Meng Changqing turned around, "Captain Yang, please check it." ”

Hua Rujin handed over the roster to Yang Zheng, and said to Meng Changqing: "I asked each of them to bring dry food for five days, and there is no need to prepare meals for them for these two days." ”

"Lord Hua is thoughtful, you see me here, there are only three iron pots, and I am really busy for a while."

Meng Changqing took the man to the stove room and poured him a bowl of hot water.

"Hey." Hua Rujin laughed as soon as she came in, and even slapped her thigh when she sat on the small stool, "This is actually a stove room!" Before I came in, I thought it was your yamen. ”

Meng Changqing said: "I am temporarily working in a hole, and that place is not as comfortable as here. ”

"I have wronged your child, just get through these two months." Lord Hua looked around in the stove room, "Don't say it, it's really warm here." ”

Meng Changqing introduced him to the use of the fire wall, and the two of them talked, and waited until Yang Zheng came in, saying that there was no mistake in the personnel, and Hua Rujin stood up and said goodbye.
