My personal butler is already in place!
Lin Yi knew that with Mi Zhu managing his money, he could relax considerably.
At least in terms of resource allocation, Mi Zhu is absolutely capable.
He handed the ledger directly to Mi Zhu and said in a deep voice, " Zizhong, from now on, I'm handing over my businesses to you. You'll be in charge of managing them. I hope you won't let me down!"
Huh!
Chen Qun looked at Mi Zhu, who had suddenly appeared, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. What merits did this man possess to earn the lord's such trust? He must be no ordinary person.
The lord entrusted him with the account books, which is tantamount to handing over the reins of finances to this person; he must be a man of great talent.
He couldn't help but take a closer look.
This person looked refined and gentle, but he possessed an unbelievable confidence that even he found absurd; this person must have real skills.
Mi Zhu was deeply moved as he received the account book from his lord.
His lord had entrusted him with his entire fortune; how could he let him down? He trembled as he said, "Rest assured, my lord, Mi Zhu will certainly not disappoint you!"
He might not be confident in governing a country, but he certainly had a talent for making money, and he believed he was second to none.
He casually flipped through the ledger in front of him. Although the accounts were all unfamiliar, he could understand them at a glance. He was already extremely skilled at auditing accounts and could spot even the slightest problem at a glance.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he pointed out several problems, which made Chen Qun marvel. This guy really has a knack for it.
Putting everything else aside, just the speed at which he reads the ledgers is something only an ordinary person could do. Without a certain level of familiarity with the books, it's absolutely impossible to do it with such ease.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fine Mi Zizhong! To be entrusted with such an important task by our lord, he is indeed no ordinary person!"
"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I think you are the true dragon among men!" Mi Zhu said with a smile after glancing at Chen Qun.
Chen Qun, who was appointed as the Prefectural Assistant by the Lord, was no ordinary person. As the second-in-command, he must be exceptionally capable.
For a moment, the two even started praising each other.
"You'll get to know each other better in the future; cooperation is the key to a win-win situation!"
Watching the two of them flatter each other, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile wryly. Chen Qun was clearly just trying to shift the blame, yet he was acting all sympathetic.
However, he has been exhausted these past few days. After all, there are still many affairs to be handled in the entire Xiliang Commandery, and with so many projects underway, personnel allocation has become a major issue.
If it weren't for Jia Xu's help, Chen Qun would probably have collapsed from exhaustion.
Lin Yi took out the Elementary Steelmaking Method and handed it to Chen Qun along with an iron ore map, saying, "Give this steelmaking method to Pu Yuan and have him place the Heavenly Craft Workshop around Cloud and Mist Mountain. For the next few decades, our Xiliang Commandery will not lack steel."
Since Duan Yingxiong has given up the iron mine, we can't waste the resources; we can just move it there.
Steelmaking process?
Chen Qun's eyes lit up. Not only had the prince obtained such a large iron mine, but he had also acquired the steelmaking method. This would completely solve the weapon problem.
"Rest assured, my lord, with iron ore and steelmaking technology, Pu Yuan will surely surprise us!" he said excitedly.
Previously, even a skilled cook couldn't cook without rice, but now that there's an iron mine, Pu Yuan can do whatever he wants.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and continued, "Leave the iron ore to Pu Yuan; he's the expert. As for manpower, let him choose for himself. It's just manpower; we have plenty!"
This time, I've gained nearly ten thousand craftsmen, so I don't need to worry about a few blacksmiths.
All we need to do is keep things confidential, and there won't be any problems. Besides, Xiliang Commandery is not what it used to be; it's now our territory, and even Li Anlan would find it difficult to get in.
After solving the steelmaking process, all that remained were cement formulation and Complete Guide to Pig Farming.
Lin Yi took them out and handed them to Mi Zhu, saying in a deep voice, " Mi Zhu, you are in charge of this reinforced cement. Chen Qun will have everyone fully cooperate. This is the key to this road; there can be no mistakes!"
Cement formulas are here?
Chen Qun's eyes lit up. He already knew the purpose of cement from Lin Yi, and after seeing the formula, his hands trembled. This was truly a valuable ingredient; the end of the Northern Region Barbarians was coming!
Now, everything in Xiliang Commandery is ready except for the final push. Once this road penetrates deep into enemy territory, the roles of attacker and defender will be reversed.
"Rest assured, my lord, leave it to me."
Mi Zhu glanced at the formula and his eyes lit up; this stuff had great potential.
etc!
Why is there a Complete Guide to Pig Farming here?
He stared blankly at his lord. "I'm a man richer than a country, and you're going to raise pigs?"
"Ahem, raising pigs is good for people's health, so I'll leave this to you," Lin Yi said with a dry laugh.
Forehead!
Mi Zhu was speechless. "Let's raise pigs then. We can find some subordinates."
Chen Qun couldn't help but glance at the complete guide to pig farming, and couldn't help but look at it strangely. How could his lord know so much?
The prince's talent in cement production is undeniable, but how do you explain his pig farming?
Lin Yi didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Qun's little schemes. After handing over everything, he walked straight out of the courtyard.
Looking up at the sky, it was clear and sunny!
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and said softly, "Finally, everything is ready. All that's left is to leave it to time. Tuoba Yu, don't let me down."
With my full efforts, unless Tuoba Yu attacks within the next couple of days, there will never be a chance.
Not only that, but the person who will be worried and afraid in the future will not be himself, but Tuoba Yu.
However, this would likely mean Li Anlan would also be keeping an eye on him, and it would depend on how helpful his father was.
Northern Liang City!
Lin Rusong quietly returned to Northern Liang. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Northern Liang City and the endless stream of people, he was somewhat frightened.
When did Northern Liang City become so crowded?!
He looked at Wang Ziwen beside him and asked curiously, "Old Wang, when did Northern Liang City become so crowded?"
Although Northern Liang City was the capital, it wasn't usually this crowded. Now the streets were packed, and in many places, it was even blocked – something he had never seen before.
"Haha, this is all thanks to the young master. Your Highness, just look over there and you'll understand." Wang Ziwen chuckled and pointed to a carriage nearby.
Lin Rusong glanced at the carriage and saw it dragging large sacks, and suddenly realized what was going on.
Salt!
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the young master's salt business has already spread throughout the north and south of the country, and even people from many countries in the Western Regions come to buy it. How could there not be a large customer base?"
Seeing the Prince of Northern Liang's shock, Huang Yuntao smiled and explained.
