Jiang Pengji concluded her speech and focused her vision on Feng Jin and said, “Huaiyu, bring some men to organize the internal affairs within the district headquarters so that it can quickly resume its services. Also, assemble the farmland we can clear for cultivation, then work with Xiaoyu to arrange workers to plough the land and prepare it for agriculture.”

Feng Jin paid subservience saying, “Jin will follow my lord’s will.”

“Wen Zheng’s duties will be heavier,” she commanded. “Register and record the people in the registrar all over again. Including the Tsing Yi army’s prisoners, the people who followed us from Shangjing and the local people of Xiangyang district. All three are to be classified accordingly. The scale of this project is massive and I’m afraid Wen Zheng will have to work very hard.”

Wen Zheng wore a bitter smile on his face. He doesn’t have to travel around anymore, but this task could tire a person to death.

There are an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 people who needs to be registered, and all of their names would need to be recorded by him and his pen. Just at the thought of it, he felt like his hands were going to break.

Deep inside he’s complaining but his lips still uttered, “I will obey my lord’s commands.”

“Coach Meng, I also have a task for you.”

The strongmen that Jiang Pengji can command are few, none should even think about escaping the fate of working overtime.

“The disaster response efforts in Xiangyang district is haphazard, lead some men to clean up, follow the procedures we did in Shangjing. If any citizens are discovered to be infected with a plague, they must be isolated from the healthy people at the first instance. If the corpse of any man or animals are found decomposed, they must be immediately dealt with to prevent insects from breeding. This is of utmost importance and cannot be delayed.”

Meng Hun cupped his fist in his hand saying, “Your subordinate accepts the order, I will surely not disappoint my lord’s trust.”

Lastly, she shifted her vision to Luoyue.

Though Luoyue and the other imperial guards are not officially under her jurisdiction, Jiang Pengji made use of them very naturally. She didn’t feel awkward at all, and seeing her like this, his heart thumped in worry as if able to foresee how exhausted he would be very soon.

He dares to swear that since he saw Jiang Pengji only a short span of time has passed but his workload has equalled the summation of all his work at the imperial guard camp base combined.

“Coach Luo, I shouldn’t have to trouble you with this. But as you can see, we are short-handed. Xi has no choice.” She smiled bitterly and continued, “I shall shamelessly ask your help for once and seek Coach Luo’s understanding. Xi thanks Coach for your kindness on behalf of the people.”

Luoyue only felt chills from behind, he quickly added, “Why is district magistrate Liu so formal? If you need any help, please command your servant.”

“If so, Xi will be thick-skinned for once. The security of all of Xiangyang district will be delegated to you, Coach Luo.”

Luoyue heard and his face was clueless.

Don’t stand on ceremony, it turns out she really didn’t stand on ceremony.

Jiang Pengji spoke convincingly, coupled with that glib tongue of hers, it was exceptionally captivating, “The world is complicated, by right a city is build on everyone’s willpower to overcome the obstacles together. But there’ll always be corrupted people who have intents to exploit money from a disaster. From what Xi knows, at such times, there are people who run wild and engage in illegal businesses. If we are lax in our preventive efforts, many poor citizens will be robbed of their business. For the peace of Xiangyang district, I have to trouble Coach Luo with this matter.”

Luoyue brought trouble upon himself.

“This matter can be entrusted to me.”

This was not Jiang Pengji’s worst, it is cruel of her to call out half the imperial guards to be thrown elsewhere to work, holding other positions.

Manpower is limited, Luoyue’s stress naturally increased exponentially.

But since word got out like water that has been splashed out, he cannot take back his words.

Seeing that all have been assigned tasks, the upcoming months will be hectic and they’re likely to work crazily overtime. Viewers watching the livestream felt something amiss. Since these tasks were thrown to Feng Jin and the rest, there was one question on all of their minds: what are you going to do, Streamer?

Yingyang Kuaixian: “Rubbish streamer. It can’t be that you wish to laze around?”

Laosiji Lianmeng: “Am I the only one pitying young Xu Ke and the rest? I feel that they’d be working overtime till winter and there are no breaks in between. It is currently May or June, this is a foreboding of working overtime, once they start it will require their lives. Just thinking of it sends jitters down my spine. Let me ask you all, if you consecutively work overtime for more than half a year without breaks or an increase in salary, wouldn’t you be afraid?!”

Shangcesuo Yongshouzhi: “Sigh, it isn’t easy to live in ancient times either, those sisters and brothers who want to time travel should reconsider. If you accidentally meet with a black-hearted boss like The Streamer, she will surely squeeze you dry till the very last drop.”

The audience was disgusted…how can Jiang Pengji laze around?

But truthfully, the mission she is undertaking is very important.

She not only went to the shopping mall to exchange points of popularity for rations and smuggling them to the storehouse, she still must conscientiously draw up a blueprint for the district’s city to use the resources wisely. If this is left to times of peace, this will take at least ten people many months to do the job.

The roads during ancient times are inconvenient, it requires a lot of time and energy to gather information and survey.

Building houses require wood and stone materials, these items look like they can be found everywhere but truthfully, they can’t.

Though the trees are plentiful in the mountains, they cannot be chopped at whim. There are precise requirements for the materials.

Construction of houses in this generation requires glutinous rice juice, glutinous rice and lime, perhaps occasionally eggs will be used as well.

If one cannot even fill his own stomach, who can sacrifice these items to rebuild the houses?

Thus, she felt that she has the responsibility to let the ancient people be exposed to under table technologies.

From the dimension she came from, the raw material for building already advanced to its best, but there’s no reference for it in this era.

According to explanations from history textbooks, the ancient buildings are mostly reinforced concrete which evolved from the brick buildings from arcane ancient times.

Where did bricks originate from?

She searched through her brain all the abstracts from her history textbooks that used kilning to synthesise bricks.

Though the history textbooks didn’t explain in detail, her keen eye for the era and accumulated knowledge helped in her understanding.

This superficial knowledge to the people in this era is all precious and incomparable wealth.

Coal is a common product at the north of Dongqing. Nearby Chengde county there’re many coal mining mills but they’re under-utilised and it isn’t large scale.

If coal is used to fuel the burning of the kiln, it was not a bad idea.

This era is already equipped with crude pottering kilning techniques, there are many places within that can be reference to within.

“Find someone to accompany me for sightseeing on the mountains…”

Jiang Pengji randomly called for two troops, she dressed down and left home while it was extremely busy outside.

The viewers criticized her unendingly for taking time off to slack amid work…She orders her subordinates around while she has free time to stroll all around.

Nevertheless, the livestreaming room doesn’t lack an audience who know the ways of industry and saw the purpose.

They believe The Streamer isn’t the person the others accused her of, but that she did this with a purpose in mind.

Luckily, Jiang Pengji proved herself and she didn’t let their hopes down.

She sought advice from the local farmers and hunters, then went to the site personally to investigate and finally found a suitable soil material to synthesize the bricks.

Of course, this is not the crucial part.

The purpose of searching for soil material wasn’t just for burning bricks, it was also to arrange for a legitimate exit to export the soil from the shopping centre.

Indeed, the lousy shopping mall sells products that are equally inferior. The rubbish System even sells soil!

In the past, when Jiang Pengji was bored and went strolling the mall, she once saw many different types of soil. The prices are unusually steep. The System introduced each soil as having different strengths, for example, some soils consist of a lot of nutrients, they can increase the production of agriculture and change the barren soil to fertile land…in any case it was incredible.

When the System’s ploy was unveiled, the soil related products were left with simply raw “clay” and “sandy soil”.

Each of the costs decreased dramatically from the original exorbitant price. The price went so low that it almost hit hell.

Indeed, a truly cunning businessmen, who can compare to The System, king of falsehoods?
