"I have sent people to the market to search for the materials needed for casting, but after all, that is the expertise of the pioneers. I heard that you are quite famous among the pioneers, can you entrust them to help collect it?" Wu Yan proposed an idea.
"Well, entrusting the pioneers to collect is indeed good, but there should be no way to get the results immediately." Gu Chen thought about it and replied. "Besides, most of the pioneers are currently entrusted by the government to participate in suppressing famines. If we entrust them to
If you take time off to collect materials, you might end up focusing on one thing and losing the other, right?"
"Is that really true..." Wu Yan frowned, as if he had anticipated Gu Chen's answer.
"That's not to say absolutely." Gu Chen suddenly thought of Guo Bei's team. "I know a group of reliable team builders who can be entrusted to collect materials. It's just that they are still in the process of processing the entrustment. The details will probably be revealed after they return.
Talk to them. I don’t know if we can catch up with this riot period, but the results can be expected to some extent.”
"Forget it, let's just treat it as the last resort." Wu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard "Reliable Pioneer Team", then he became depressed when he heard "I don't know if we can catch up", and finally just nodded lightly.
"Uh, I'm sorry that I can't help..." Regardless of his identity as a juvenile supervisor, from the perspective of a workshop operator, Gu Chen felt embarrassed that he could not meet the customer's requirements, so he scratched his head and put forward compensatory suggestions.
"But regarding the 'Kino Collection', I think I can probably think of something."
"Kinoji?" This unexpected suggestion surprised Wu Yan.
"Your Highness, you also know that I drove the armored car back from Nanchuan Fort in the past two days." Gu Chen gestured at the map. "The armored car is not inferior to the Hammerhead Bird in terms of distance, and the load is also higher.
It is much larger than an ordinary caged vehicle, and ordinary monsters do not pose a threat to it. Although it is only a semi-finished product in terms of completion, its basic performance as a vehicle is still trustworthy."
"Yes, really..."
It has a distance comparable to that of a hammer-headed bird, a carrying capacity that exceeds that of a caged cart, and a defense that ignores monsters. Even by the harshest standards, a creation that combines the above elements can be called a "monster". However,
In Gu Chen's eyes, it's still just a semi-finished product?
Even someone as mentally strong as the heroine Wu Yan didn't know what to say at this time, so she had no choice but to listen to Gu Chen continue talking.
"Before we thoroughly understand the performance of the armored car, we should drive it to the wild for more testing. The testing location is Nanchuan Fort or Kinoji." Gu Chen rubbed his thumb and index finger in front of the boss. "If Xia Xia
If the palace is willing to pay the rent, I can use the armored car to drive people to Kinoji to have a look and maybe we can solve the problem."
"……I see."
Wu Yan had already confirmed the extraordinary performance of the armored car from Han Yu, and Gu Chen's suggestion was not difficult to understand. After silently evaluating it for a few beats, Wu Yan raised his head and cast a confused look at Gu Chen. "This is indeed very special.
A valuable proposal, but don’t you always hate trouble? What kind of wind is this blowing? "
"Well, after all, I also received a salary from Liyang Mansion." Gu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. "Seeing my boss frowning in private, I feel embarrassed to be carefree in Gewufang, right..."
"What?"
A civil servant who was used to being a salary thief suddenly awakened one day to the consciousness of being a people's servant and began to be willing to help the government solve problems. According to Gu Chen's self-perception, this was probably such a change. As for Wu Yan, although he didn't know the side of the earth,
The public service system, but a little later, I also understood the sincerity in the sincere words of the Juvenile Supervisor.
"In that case, let's approve your proposal." Of course Wu Yan had no reason to refuse, but while nodding, he clearly felt a rare burning emotion in his heart. In order to prevent this emotion from rising,
The lady in charge clenched her fists and glared hard at someone.
"But there is one thing that this government must correct."
"Yes?" Gu Chen wondered.
"I'm not frowning!"
……………………
Kineyeji is a small settlement located on the northwest side of the city, with about 300 residents. Due to its geographical location close to the dense forest of the Southern Barbarians, it makes a living through logging and wood-making. The wooden utensils from Kineyeji are famous for their durability, not only in Liyang
It was so famous that many Zhongyuan trading companies even went to place orders, indirectly contributing a lot of taxes to Liyang Mansion.
Since taxes are levied on the Chaokino community, of course Liyang Mansion also has the obligation to protect the community.
The troubles that Kinoji encountered this time are basically similar to the situation of other settlements during the summer riot period. That is, there are groups of ferocious monsters appearing near the settlement, and fighting against the groups of monsters will only cause unnecessary losses of human life and property, no matter whether they win or lose.
. Before then, it can be said that it is the wisest choice to flee collectively to a nearby city to avoid the threat.
Having said that, Kinoji's situation is somewhat special.
One is that Kinoji is not an ordinary poor settlement surrounded by wooden fences or stone walls, but a solid fortress built by strong woodcutters according to the mountain. It has a defense that far exceeds the former. The other is that Kinoji is located in Liyang
The northwest side has not been an active area for monster riots in the past. At least in the past twenty or thirty years, Kinoji has never encountered a situation that required collective evacuation.
Having said that, what should come will eventually come.
The scale of the famine that Kinoji encountered this year seems to be extraordinary. The Jiuzheng responsible for managing the settlement released a letter kite a few days ago to report the famine to Liyang Mansion and request to send reinforcements to help disperse.
Considering the distance between Kinoji and Liyang City, the Yuqi Battalion was originally the most suitable reinforcement. However, the sudden attack by the Jinbo Sun clan forced Liyang Mansion to send nearly half of the Yuqi Battalion to guard the eastern border.
There is no remaining power to assist Kinoji. Carrying out collective evacuation in the absence of support is an extremely dangerous gamble. Instead of betting on a success rate of less than 30%, it is easier to survive by relying on a strong fortress to defend and wait for help.
Wu Yan originally judged this way, but Gu Chen's proposal gave her a new choice.
The relationship between the Liyang Mansion and the tribes under its command is like that between the clan leader and the clan members. If the tribe ignores the community's request for help, even if there is an urgent reason, it will inevitably seriously damage the prestige of the clan and further shake the Wu family's dominance. On the other hand, let's not worry about it for the time being.
Whether the problem can really be solved, even sending reinforcements in form is enough to show the sincerity of the government and avoid the worst situation——
Since there were such benefits, Wu Yan quickly finalized the plan.
Zhang Ji, the messenger directly under the governor, and five selected elite soldiers became the first batch of passengers on the Gewufang armored car.
The herald Zhang Ji and the political officer Li Ru were both close confidants of the heroine in charge of the government. The difference was that Li Ru often assisted Wu Yan in handling government affairs at Zichen Pavilion, while Zhang Ji often traveled to various places on behalf of the government to convey orders.
As well as inspection and consul affairs, such as the documents and seals for the appointment of the Juvenile Supervision Department, Zhang Ji was responsible for delivering them to Gewufang, so he and Gu Chen were old acquaintances.
The capacity of Xinyuan's letter is limited, and it is impossible to know the details of Kineyeji from the short signature. Therefore, Wu Yan's order to Zhang Ji is to act according to the situation after arriving at Kineyeji, and try to ensure the safety of the settlers as much as possible. In addition, considering Li Yang's toughness
According to folk customs, the five accompanying soldiers can be regarded as the minimum deterrent force.
