Chapter 82 Famine Countermeasures

The Fang Zaosi was an institution specially set up by the imperial court to handle Fang affairs. The women who served as its secretaries were all knowledgeable and charming figures. The generous salary and reputation of being capable made the female secretaries the envy and admiration of everyone.

Target. Not to mention common people, it is said that even famous noble families often regard female secretary as a priority in selecting their daughter-in-law.

In this way, Secretary Wu Zhen is in such a superior position. However, for the female Secretary herself, she does not feel that what she is doing at this moment is anything worth boasting about.

"The Kizaru Group, conquered the active stone monsters on the edge of the Ever-Musk Forest, cleared the obstacles to the trade route, and harvested one hundred and twenty-seven brilliant stones? The intensity of the battle was quite high. Were there any casualties as expected..."

"The Wenque Group helped the Changhe settlement to eliminate the weed monsters growing in the farmland. They cleaned about 200 acres of the fields and obtained twenty-five brilliant stones... How should I put it? It's quite an easy job here..."

"Guo Bei's team went to the Stone Pine Forest to collect materials and defeat the vine monsters, and obtained seventy-two brilliant stones... It's strange, they all achieved good results, why did the collection mission fail..."

In the book room of Fangzao Division, Secretary Wu Zhen was reviewing the report sent by the pioneering team and writing the relevant data into the record book.

To put it bluntly, the Construction Department was indeed an organization set up to handle community affairs at the beginning. However, due to the collective laziness of the fraternal departments, it ended up having to take on the task of negotiating with the pioneers in addition to its own duties. What Wu Zhen is doing now is

It is to review the recent entrustment report submitted by the pioneer team, check whether there is any distortion or exaggeration in the report, and then determine the performance level of the pioneer.

The "performance level" of a pioneer can be understood as the creditworthiness recognized by the government. The performance level starts from the first level. The higher the level, the easier it is for the pioneer to obtain the commission, and the market price will also rise accordingly, so it is a pioneer.

Those who value it.

There are three basis for the approval report of the Bureau of Construction. The first is the employer's evaluation, the second is the testimony of the public, and the third is the number of yellow stones harvested. Needless to say, subjective elements such as the employer's evaluation and public testimony are not mentioned, but the number of yellow stones is

Quite a hard indicator.

Because the Huangshi is a spiritual crystal contained in the body of the monster, there is a chance to obtain the Huangshi by defeating the monster, and the more powerful the monster, the greater the chance of leaving the Huangshi. In this sense, the harvest

The number of Huangshi represents the intensity of the battle that the pioneering team encountered when executing the commission, which was the basis for Wu Zhen's previous judgments on several reports.

Wu Zhen put the reviewed report aside, his eyes fell on the wooden boxes at his feet, and there was unconcealable sadness on his eyebrows.

"The harvest of Huangshi has increased by more than 20% compared to last month. Sure enough, it is almost entering the 'active period'..."

There are bags of Huangshi in the wooden box over there, and the name and quantity of the pioneer group are written on the Huangshi bags.

The flow of spiritual scriptures constitutes the prosperity of all things in Chenghuang's land, and the precious stones containing spiritual scriptures are important resources that can be used in many fields. Therefore, when reviewing the performance of the pioneering team, Fangzao Si will also take the opportunity to review the performance of the pioneering team.

Acquire the brilliant stone it obtained.

However, there are also pioneers who will sell Huangshi to trading companies to earn higher profits. However, doing so will pay the price of making it difficult to improve the performance level. Whether it is money or level, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as a matter between the market and the government.

game, and in most cases the latter has the advantage.

Thousands of Huangshi are circulated every week in Fangzhusi, and the specific number increases and decreases depending on the month. For example, in the winter months when monsters are dormant, there will be fewer Huangshi, and in the summer months when monsters are active, the number of Huangshi will be very low.

It will increase by more than two or three times. Therefore, as long as the total number of Huangshi gathered in Fangzaosi is counted, the severity of the strange disasters around Liyang can be roughly described.

There is still less than half of this month, and the total number of Huangshi purchased by Fangzao Division has exceeded that of last month by more than 20%. This is definitely not a good sign. Originally, in the eyes of Chenghuang Kingdoms, monsters were almost natural disasters.

, its rapid activity will inevitably have a negative impact on all aspects of people's livelihood and society. In fact, the history of Chenghuang is full of city-states that declined or were abandoned due to their inability to cope with wild and strange disasters. The situation in Liyang City is only

It's just a little better than the passing line. If you're not careful, you will fall into the abyss of decline.

"...the card appears every two or three weeks every year. It's almost more accurate than the calendar."

Wu Zhen closed the record book with a bitter arc at the corner of his mouth.

The wild monsters around Liyang are rapidly becoming active. In addition to affecting people's livelihood and the country, it also heralds the coming of an "active period".

The so-called "active period" is a period in which monsters become violently active in spring and summer after dormant in winter. During this cycle, the number and activity of monsters will increase significantly, which will not only cause great damage to the surrounding settlements in Liyang City, but also cause great damage to the surrounding settlements in Liyang City.

Sometimes there are even exaggerated dramas in which powerful monsters form groups to attack the city.

For the ruler of any city-state, the active period can be said to be an annual test of his dominance and governance. There may be little reward for passing the test, but if he fails the test, the city's vitality will be severely damaged, and even

Turn to the end of decline.

Liyang City's ability to establish a foothold near the border of the Southern Barbarian Territory is inseparable from the diligent management of Liyang Dukes from generation to generation. Among them, resisting the famine attack during the active period is the top priority of running the city-state. At present, Liyang City is mainly used to open up wasteland.

The organization is the backbone, and it is indeed suppressing the famine around Liyang under the control of Fangzao Division, but whether this configuration can continue to work after entering the active period is something that no one is sure about.

However, city-state defense is under the jurisdiction of the Liyang Prefecture Division, and the Fangzao Division has no right to intervene. In addition to ensuring smooth communication with the pioneering organization, all Wu Zhen can do is to increase the inventory of elixirs as much as possible so that during the active period

Just provide timely support to other departments.

"But when it comes to the inventory of elixirs, there has been almost no growth recently?"

Wu Zhen raised his head and took out another record book from the shelf above the desk, opened it and confirmed the numbers on it.

The increase and decrease in the elixir inventory were marked in red and blue in the record book, but after some balancing, the result was not much different from the two months, which made the female secretary rub the tip of her eyebrows in distress.

We can't blame the girls of Fangzosi for not doing their duty, after all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

The only people who can refine elixirs are masters, and Liyang City is located on the border of Nanman, so there are very few masters willing to come here to develop. At present, only Xinhefang in Liyang City has the ability to take orders from the government, and

Other sporadic small workshop groups will give priority to supplying the pioneers. If this trend continues, if the elixir stock cannot be guaranteed during the active period, the only difficult choice left is to use reserves to purchase elixirs from other city-states.

The last time he made an exception and ordered bulk orders of dust-cleansing water and righteousness water from Gewufang was Wu Zhen's best effort to improve the current situation. Today is the final deadline stipulated in the contract, but there has been no news from Gewufang. Although it is very

Unfortunately, it seems that it will not be included in the supply side for consideration in the future...

Just when Wu Zhen was thinking this, there was a knock on the door outside the scroll room.

"Sister Wu Zhen, your guest is here."

The short-haired Secretary Xia Ling poked her head in, followed by a female swordsman whom she had never seen before.
