Xu Kuang looked at Chen Xiaolong again:

"In a few days, the population of Mushroom Ridge will increase. When there are more people, it is easier for some local bullies to breed. For the Security Bureau, I have only one request. Maintain the internal order of Mushroom Ridge. If you encounter local bullies, please The earth is destroyed and the law is rectified!"

Chen Xiaolong bowed deeply to Xu Kuang.

"York, you are responsible for infrastructure construction. Generally speaking, your task is the heaviest. Today I will hand over the concrete formula to you. You will start producing concrete of various grades from today. Each building must be strictly The land is in accordance with construction standards. If I find out that you are lining your own pockets here, don't blame me for using my own methods on you."

York clasped his fists honestly:

"Don't worry, young master, I will fulfill my mission."

"Jenny, from now on, you must prepare a series of gauze, bandages, cotton threads, military uniforms, etc. that the army needs, do you understand?"

Jenny stood up and nodded.

"besides……".

Xu Kuang talked for a long time before he finished explaining everything. He looked at everyone in the conference room and said:

"Although Mushroom Ridge has encountered huge threats, it is undeniable that Mushroom Ridge is showing its huge potential. Everyone, please work hard. I believe that with our sincere cooperation, Mushroom Ridge will be able to defeat all external threats. enemy!".

Xu Kuang took advantage of the gap between people's applause to figure out what to do next.

Xu Kuang looked at everyone and said:

"Go ahead.".

Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Xu Kuang found Jenny:

"Here are twenty-five semi-automatic rifles and ten thousand rounds of ammunition. You can give it to the old housekeeper when he comes next time. Also, tell Zhang Damiao and ask him to send two instructors to teach the soldiers in Hulu Town. Tell him Old housekeeper, these firearms have been tested and are absolutely reliable, so he can use them with confidence."

Jenny didn’t say anything more, took the list of supplies, turned and left.

Xu Kuang returned to his laboratory and started clicking on the technology tree. He completed the task and got a fragment of the technology tree.

Counting the two pieces given by the upgrade, he now has three fragments in his hand.

The situation is urgent and he plans to prioritize upgrading infrastructure.

He clicked on the infrastructure construction module and saw three branch options: construction efficiency improvement, industrial worker training, and infrastructure supporting facilities.

Xu Kuang took a look and found that there was no option to develop cement, so he had to exit and came to the scientific research and innovation module.

There were dozens of dense branches inside. Xu Kuang took a look and found that just to fill up the first-level technology tree, at least dozens of technology tree fragments would be needed.

Xu Kuang found the concrete research and development that lit up the infrastructure category. He happened to click on this branch three times and used up three technology tree fragments.

Xu Kuang obtained four concrete formulas with different labels and handed them all to York.

"Purchase materials, make finished products, and complete them as soon as possible. If possible, I will see the finished products before tomorrow afternoon. By the way, I will allocate another five thousand gold coins to you. I can't come up with more for the time being. Please pay attention to saving costs. Bar.".

Xu Kuang inspected another circle of military camps and found no problems, so he left with peace of mind. As for the navy, it was a navy in name, but in fact it was all the work of the army. The main ship was an assault boat, and the two platoons of the navy only had a few guns. Pistol, Xu Kuang himself felt a little sorry for the navy.

After completing everything, Xu Kuang returned to his residence, and he could finally rest.

It’s the familiar lottery session again.

Xu Kuang saved five more lottery opportunities, and he wanted to see what good things he could draw.

"The lottery was successful and I got 7.62×39mm ammunition × 1000."

Useful, but not very useful.

"The lottery was successful and I won the character Zhuge Duan.".

Xu Kuang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would draw a character.

The brilliance dimmed, and an elegant and handsome man with a feather fan and silk scarf appeared in front of Xu Kuang.

Character introduction: Three Gu frequently planned the world, and two dynasties helped the old ministers' hearts.

Xu Kuang's mouth was too big to close.

"My lord, my lord."

Xu Kuang came to his senses and bowed deeply to Zhuge Duan.

Zhuge Duan quickly said to Xu Kuang:

"My lord, please don't offend the villain. The villain has just arrived, has not made any achievements, and has no reputation. How can he be worshiped by the lord."

Xu Kuang shook his head and said to Zhuge:

"If you, sir, can't do it, then there will be very few people in the world who can."

Zhuge Duan laughed.

"Cuihua, this Zhuge Duan...".

"All characters in the character cards are made based on existing templates.".

Xu Kuang immediately understood that this was just an imitation made by the system based on Zhuge Wuhou's model, but it was also worth relying on.

Zhuge Duan looked at Xu Kuang and laughed:

"Lord, can you let me wander around here?".

Xu Kuang laughed and said:

"Sir, please help yourself. This is my token. With this token, you can enter any area in Mogu Ridge without being blocked."

Zhuge Duan bowed to Xu Kuang again, but Xu Kuang expressed that he was ashamed and did not deserve it.

Xu Kuang used up the remaining three opportunities and got a tractor, a pass construction drawing, and a bottle of elixir.

…

Zhuge Duan spent three days wandering around, and Xu Kuang produced thirty new rifles.

Xu Kuang waited anxiously, but he did not dare to disturb Zhuge Duan. He was afraid of making Zhuge Duan unhappy and left in a rage, then he would lose more than he gained.

Xu Kuang sighed and finally returned to Zhuge Duan in the afternoon.

As soon as Zhuge Duan came back, he pulled out a piece of paper and wrote on it the current shortcomings of Mushroom Ridge. Xu Kuang looked at it as if the clouds were clearing and the sun was shining brightly.

Xu Kuang immediately took Zhuge Duan to meet everyone and announced to everyone that Zhuge Duan was the minister in charge of Mogu Ridge, second only to him in status.

Of course, this move made many people unhappy, but Xu Kuang didn't care about this. He only knew that he didn't have to worry about talents.

He told Zhuge Duan about the current situation of Mushroom Ridge and wanted Zhuge Duan to come up with an idea.

After Zhuge Duan heard this, he said to Xu Kuang:

"My lord has great foresight and I admire him very much. However, with all his worries, one thing is bound to happen. My lord seems to have forgotten about the leader of Xiangcheng Town who has disappeared for a long time. This man must have done a lot of things in the capital of the kingdom for many days." We have to guard against these things, and I think the military strength of Mushroom Ridge is still too weak. Within three months, we will expand to two regiments, or even more."

Xu Kuang listened carefully to Zhuge Duan's every suggestion. At this moment, he had no other thoughts and only felt happy.

A top counselor's bonus to Mushroom Ridge was too high. Within three days, Zhuge Duan discovered the shortcomings in the development of Mushroom Ridge and gave reasonable suggestions. This came too timely for Xu Kuang. .

Xu Kuang thought of Viscount Baihua and couldn't help but frowned. He couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, it seems that you don't take Viscount Baihua seriously."

Zhuge Duan shook his feather fan lightly and smiled at Xu Kuang:

"My lord is too nervous. Please think carefully. It will take seven days to go from Baihua City to Moushuling even at full speed, let alone a large army. Moreover, Viscount Baihua is greedy and lustful, but he may not be a fool. Otherwise, how could he do it?" How about running Baihua City in a sound and spectacular manner?"

After Xu Kuang heard this, he felt relieved. He bowed to Zhuge and said:

"Please sir, please pay more attention to the important military and political matters in Mushroom Ridge. By the way, your mansion has also started to be built. Please give me some advice when you have time, so that I can rest assured."

Zhuge Duan's mansion and Xu Kuang's mansion are on the same level, not too far or too close. This is Xu Kuang's own consideration.

Zhuge Duan had a smile on his face. He was naturally extremely satisfied with Xu Kuang's arrangements. In fact, he didn't care about the quality of his residence. He admired Xu Kuang's trusting style of him.

A thousand-mile horse will not meet a bole, a hero will not serve his master, and even if he has great abilities, he will have nowhere to display them.

Zhuge Duan was eager when he thought of this, and told Xu Kuang some of his thoughts.

After hearing this, Xu Kuang felt that the sun was clearing from the clouds, and he admired Zhuge Duan even more.

It's getting late. Zhuge Duan bowed to Xu Kuang, then turned and left. Xu Kuang saw him off all the way and watched Zhuge Duan leave.

Just like this, seven days passed. Xu Kuang spent time with Zhuge Duan day and night every day. The two were very close, which made the first group of people who followed Xu Kuang a little unhappy.

On this day, Xu Kuang had just finished arranging things, but he heard his own soldiers coming to report.

"It's not good, Lord York and Lord Zhuge Duan are fighting each other."

Xu Kuang stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he quickly said to the soldiers:

"Quick, stop Mr. Zhuge, don't let him hurt York!".

Xu Kuang is really worried. Mr. Zhuge is not only the counselor of Mushroom Ridge, but also a fierce man with a strength of 36.0. York has just awakened the warrior profession the day before yesterday, and now the strength value on the attribute panel is not as good as Xu Kuang. These two people are going to During the fight, Xu Kuang was really worried that York would be beaten to death.

Xu Kuang quickly arrived at the scene, only to find York sitting on the ground with his face covered, while Zhuge Duan bowed to Xu Kuang helplessly.

Zhang Da Miao, Chen Xiaohu, Chen Xiaobao and others all around also saluted.

Xu Kuang first asked Zhuge Duan:

"Are you not frightened, sir?"

Zhuge Duan smiled bitterly and said:

"This Commander York is really a straightforward person. He didn't think carefully this time."

Zhuge Duan saluted York.

Xu Kuang wanted to laugh, but felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he gradually became serious.

He pulled York up from the ground and asked:

"Tell me, what's going on?".

York covered his face, his tone full of grievance:

"I was leading people to build a house, and he came over to point fingers. He said that I shouldn't be watching here with my own eyes, and should learn to delegate to other people. He also said that my labor method was wrong and that it was a waste of workers. He also said...I I was so angry that I just wanted to fight him, and then...".

Xu Kuang looked at York helplessly and said:

"You really... apologize to Mr. Zhuge."

"My lord, no."

"Yes, why? This guy talks in a formal way, deliberately making it difficult for people to understand, and he always looks like he is educating people. Who wants to work in the same class with him?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Duan's eyes flashed and he nodded silently.

Xu Kuang glanced at the people around him and asked helplessly:

"I'm afraid York isn't the only one who thinks this way, right? I know you all think so."

"Yes, that's what we think!" Chen Xiaobao stepped out from the crowd and said angrily: "Sir, if you hadn't given us a way to survive, we would have starved to death by now. Logically speaking, we shouldn't refute anything you say, but I just can't stand this nerd! He...".

Xu Kuang shook his head helplessly and signaled Chen Xiaobao to shut up:

"It seems that I can only reveal to you Mr. Zhuge's worst skill.".

As soon as these words came out, even Zhuge Duan was slightly surprised.

"The Mr. Zhuge Duan in front of you is a brave-level magician. Of course, it is only temporary. Based on this alone, can he enjoy the best treatment? What's more, Mr. Zhuge can govern the country and select professionals internally, and externally. But he can command millions of troops and be invincible in every attack. Shouldn't he enjoy the best treatment?"

Zhuge Duan was a little moved when he heard this. He didn't expect Xu Kuang to trust him so much.

So he walked out and said to Xu Kuang:

"My lord, these things are not worth mentioning. It is normal for Duan to be treated with such courtesy when he first arrived. It is normal for him to be criticized by others. How about this? Since you all don't obey me, let's make a bet. Within one month, inside and outside Mushroom Ridge How about you all listen to me and see if I can give Mogu Ridge a new look? Of course, within this month, the lord can take back his rights at any time."

Xu Kuang said nothing. He looked at everyone and asked:

"how?".

Zhang Damiao came out. He bowed first to Xu Kuang and then to Zhuge Duan:

"In that case, let's look at Mr.

Xu Kuang also saluted Zhuge Duan and said:

"In this case, Mushroom Ridge will be left to sir."

After Zhuge Duan saluted everyone, he stood up straight and said:

"Then I will be disrespectful. Everyone, I am issuing the first task now. All projects in Mogu Ridge are suspended. People from the Engineering Department will survey the terrain and divide the blocks before starting construction."

York also followed the example of others and saluted, saying:

"It's an order."

Xu Kuang and Zhuge Duan smiled knowingly.

They all knew that even if this didn't happen today, it might happen tomorrow in the barracks, maybe in the spinning mill, or maybe somewhere else, in a way that would make Zhuge Duan even more ugly. Xu Kuang was even a little lucky. Fortunately, it was York. , if it were Zhang Da Miao, he would probably secretly ask the artillery camp to set up the cannon...

Ten days passed and the Momouling project was resumed. Under the personal leadership of Zhuge Duan, the Momouling Engineering Department planned out each block in detail and started construction simultaneously.

Mogu Ridge also set up announcements at various passes to submit notices about recruiting workers in Mogu Ridge. Countless farmers came enthusiastically, and for a time there was news of construction starting everywhere in Moushule Ridge.

After Zhuge Duan finished doing this, he went to guide everyone to improve the tax law.

There is also the Constitution. Zhuge Duan strives to make the Constitution simple so that people can know what is illegal and what is okay.

Mushroom Ridge has a new look.

There is another thing. Xu Kuang's advanced mission has been completed. It is obvious that Wang Xikui has taken root in Baihua City, and Xu Kuang learned from the information he sent that he opened a restaurant in Baihua City.
