Chapter 36: The County Town Reconstruction Begins

Chapter 36: The County Town Reconstruction Begins

[Cough... cough... cough, host, calm down! ]

Lin Yuxi, who was sensitive enough to realize that the system was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, took advantage of this opportunity to talk a lot and finally ended up with a bunch of unequal treaties signed by the system with satisfaction.

The Lucky Husband System that is forced to start an online romance: The strong inner system never sheds tears, woooo... unless it can't help it!

……

After frequent correspondence, the two finally figured out each other's current situation. Lin Yuxi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but take the system task more seriously.

Although she felt a little regretful that they couldn't meet yet, Lin Yuxi also understood her husband. If he could still rush to see her in the face of such a big mess, he would not be the hero Shen Minghui that she knew!

Shen Minghui: Haha, how could he dare to let his wife come to such a county town where foreign races are eyeing it covetously and the county town is being destroyed by corruption!

……

——I am the dividing line between time and place——

Feiyun County

Shen Minghui stood on the city wall of the county town, looking at the busy construction site with a look of satisfaction on his face. Since he reconnected with his wife, he felt that the whole world had become brighter and his hope for the future had become stronger.

"Sir, this is today's construction progress." Zhao Zhubo walked briskly to Shen Minghui and handed him a report.

Shen Minghui took the report and read it carefully. He knew that all these achievements were inseparable from the support and assistance of his wife. He looked up and looked at the city wall, which had changed greatly, and his heart was filled with pride.

"Very good, everyone has worked hard." Shen Minghui nodded with satisfaction, "We must complete these fortifications before winter comes."

On top of the city wall, not only a solid stone wall is being built, but also a series of impressive defensive weapons. Shen Minghui pointed to one of the huge trebuchets and said, "Install a few more of these trebuchets to cover the largest area of ​​the enemy."

"Yes, my lord!"

Next to it, workers are assembling rows of crossbow machines, which can continuously fire dense arrows, forming a deadly rain of arrows that prevents the enemy from getting close. In addition, there are new designs, such as flamethrowers and giant mallets, which greatly enhance the defense of the city wall.

Everyone felt safe as they watched the defensive weapons being built on the city wall. The originally dilapidated city wall now had arrow towers, crossbow carts, stone rolling machines, stones, moats, drawbridges and other defensive facilities. Not only that, the thickness of the city wall was also increased, making it more solid.

"Your Excellency is truly wise." Zhao Zhubo could not help but praise, "These improvements have made our city walls impregnable, and the enemy can no longer easily break through our defenses."

In addition to the reinforcement of the city walls, Shen Minghui also paid special attention to the training of the soldiers guarding the city. He understood that only strong city walls were not enough, and well-trained soldiers were also needed to defend the homeland. Therefore, he specially invited the most famous ranger nearby to train the soldiers.

You must know that in the past when there were no weapons to defend the city, it was thanks to the constant attacks of these rangers that the small border county of Feiyun County was able to avoid the crisis of the city being broken again and again!

These rangers not only teach the soldiers how to use weapons, but also teach them how to dodge enemy attacks and how to stay calm in battle. I believe that after a few more months of training, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers will be reborn.

Shen Minghui also noticed that the common people began to participate in the construction of the city wall, providing building materials and daily necessities, and some even donated their savings.

Shen Minghui smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "Zhao Zhubo, you should also pay special attention to these people who came to help you. All kinds of subsidies must be paid in place, and don't let the people suffer losses. In addition, give priority to these people in the future for the good seeds!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Zhubo nodded excitedly. You know, among them are several of his brothers and their families. Now that the sir has spoken, regardless of whether it is a benefit or not, at least he can stand up straighter.

Under the city wall, a group of people gathered. They looked at the newly built city defense weapons and a look of relief appeared on their faces.

"Look at this city wall. The safety of our Feiyun County is finally guaranteed." An old man pointed at the huge arrow tower on the city wall, his face full of relief.

"Yes, thanks to Lord Shen for coming to our Feiyun County, our emperor has finally done a good thing!" another citizen echoed.

On the other side of the city wall, Shen Minghui's subordinates were also discussing privately.

"The lord is really powerful. These new weapons look lethal. I don't know what's wrong with the lord's brain!" A clerk said with emotion while looking at the busy construction site.

"Haha, what do you think? Do you think they are all like you, with a dull head?" another subordinate joked. "Okay, hurry up and transport this batch of crossbow carts. Do you still want to eat?" Everyone swallowed their saliva thinking about the recent meals.

"Oh, speaking of food, I've been craving braised pork lately." Xiao Wang quickened his pace and drew a picture of braised pork in the air with his fingers. Everyone felt hungry when they heard it, as if the aroma had already reached their noses.

"Braised pork, it's a delicacy with great color, aroma and taste. Look at the color, bright red, as tempting as a girl's cheek. Smell the aroma, the rich meaty aroma with a hint of sweetness, it's simply irresistible." Xiao Wang continued to describe, as if he was already immersed in the delicious braised pork.

"And the taste, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry. When you take a bite, the gravy overflows and your mouth is filled with the taste of happiness. Ah, I'm drooling just thinking about it." Xiao Wang said, wiping the corners of his mouth with his hand.

"Oh, come to think of it, I ate mutton last night." Xiao Li watched everyone being fascinated, and couldn't help but recommend his latest favorite, and suddenly interrupted, "The mutton was stewed soft and tasty, and melted in the mouth. Especially the mutton soup, it was so delicious, it was simply a delicacy on earth."

When everyone heard this, they felt hungry again. They began to imagine the delicious mutton and mutton soup, as if they could already smell the mouth-watering aroma.

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Xiao Zhang couldn't help but interrupt, "If you keep mumbling, you won't be able to eat shit as soon as it's hot!"

The people who were still imagining what delicious food they would eat today could no longer think about it and quickened their pace. If they didn't speed up, what would happen if they really wanted to eat that?

In the following days, Shen Minghui and his subordinates worked hard on the construction site. They worked day and night, and the construction of the city wall was getting faster and faster. As time went by, the appearance of the county town was gradually changing. The streets became cleaner, there were more shops, and people's living standards were significantly improved.

Privately, the subordinates' evaluation of Shen Minghui has also been increasing. They all said that it was their honor to follow such a far-sighted and responsible county magistrate. "Sir, you are really a lucky star for our Feiyun County." County Magistrate Li said with emotion, "Since you came, the lives of the people have become better and better."

Shen Minghui smiled and shook his head: "This is all thanks to everyone. I just played a leading role, and it is you who really made the effort."

The subordinates nodded without comment. It was true that they had put in the work, but if it weren't for Lord Shen's leadership and the supplies they provided, they wouldn't know where they would end up!

Haha, they are self-aware!
