Yixiaomei chuckled and said, "Why did you come, Sister Fengjiao and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned: "Then why didn't you go to me?" ”

Yu Fengjiao glanced at Yuan Fang and said, "Who knew that you were so slow, the distance from the front to the back was not close, and it was troublesome to run around." As he spoke, a team of female soldiers came over and followed behind Yuan Fang.

After a brief chat of gossip, Yuan Fang pointed to the cesspool and asked one of the foremen: "When will this place be capped?" Is it possible to use it after the cap? ”

The big foreman didn't dare to slack off, and replied: "If you go back to your lordship, the cesspool is basically completed, and it is almost capped, and all the materials are ready, but there are still a few pipes that are not connected, well, it will be about the same in five or six days." ”

Yuan Fang frowned: "Why does it take so long?" What went wrong? Let's go, take me to see it. ”

On the way, Xiaomei told Yuan Fang that the delay in the construction period was not to blame these workers, but there was an accident, this accident was to dig the ditch when he found a brother is not a big silver mine, Yang Xing learned the news and sent people to investigate, the result is that the reserves of this silver mine are not large, if the full mining can be collected in a maximum of twenty days, now Yang Xing, who is very short of money, will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, and immediately ordered to mine with all his strength, and now it has come to an end.

Coming to the silver mine, Yuan Fang looked at it, the huge mine hole was being backfilled, and it was obvious that the silver mine had been mined.

Yuan Fang was a little puzzled and asked: "I wondered, didn't I get a lot of gold coins before?" Yang Xing, this kid is too wealthy, and he won't let go of such a small amount of money. ”

Xiaomei sighed and explained: "Brother, you are wrong to blame Yang Xing, I did get a lot of gold coins before, and there are a lot of dividends from the Chamber of Commerce, but those gold coins sound like a lot, but this Crusade is basically spent, and I still owe a lot to the Chamber of Commerce, and Yang Xing can't help it." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned and said in surprise: "No, it cost so much money in one Eastern Crusade?" ”

Xiaomei sighed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that fighting a war would consume so much financial resources. ”

Yu Fengjiao chuckled and said, "As the general of the Eastern Expedition, you don't even know this?" ”

Yuan Fang's old face turned red and defended: "I only care about the war, and I don't care about anything else." ”

Yu Fengjiao glanced at Yuan Fang and said: "Fighting a war is actually a fight for financial resources, food, grass, equipment, soldiers' pensions and rewards and promotions, which are all money, but a lot of money, you calculate, let's even if a soldier has the minimum standard of two catties of grain a day, even if it is the cheapest coarse rice, how much does it cost, how much is 10,000 people, this Eastern Crusade mobilized a total of more than 200,000 people, how much is the consumption of food on this day?" ”

Yuan Fang secretly calculated it, but he didn't calculate it, anyway, the conclusion he got was a very large amount of expenses, but after listening to Yu Fengjiao's words, Yuan Fang was a little surprised: "Isn't there only 150,000 horses?" How did it become more than 200,000 people? ”

Yu Fengjiao glanced at Yuan Fang again and said, "One hundred thousand is a combat unit, what?" Logistics troops are not counted as people? They all have to eat and drink, and they all receive their salaries. ”

Yuan Fang suddenly realized: "I forgot about this, if you say this, we have to find a way to make money." Xiaomei's eyes lit up, during this time, because of the lack of money, it was not only Yang Xing, Xiaomei and the others were all sad, but there was no good way, now that Yuan Fang is back, Xiaomei pinned all her hopes on this big brother, looking at Yuan Fang with burning eyes, full of anticipation.

Yuan Fang scratched his head embarrassedly: "This, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, wait for me to think about it, Xiaomei, don't worry, with the eldest brother here, you will definitely not let you be poor." ”

Xiaomei nodded vigorously: "Well, brother, Yang Xing and I are counting on you." "Pressure, huge pressure, Yuan Fang just came back and found himself a big job, isn't it nothing to look for, worried, worried.

Next, Yuan Fang inspected the progress of the entire project accompanied by several foremen and Xiaomei and Yu Fengjiao, and the results were quite satisfactory, basically meeting Yuan Fang's requirements, of course, there are still some details that need to be changed, not that Yu Jingqiu and Xiaomei are not responsible, but there are some things that Yuan Fang did not consider before.

For example, the staircase in front of the outpatient door, Yuan Fang took a look at it and asked the foreman to dismantle and rebuild it and change it to a gentle slope form to facilitate the entry and exit of the gurney.

There is also a hall floor that is about to be paved with smooth marble that was also rejected by Yuan Fang, and it should be polished bluestone that is not too smooth, which can increase friction to prevent pedestrians from slipping, especially after snow.

And then there is the ground treatment of the whole ground, originally, Yuan Fang's plan is to pave the marble floor inside the various outpatient buildings, but just now on a whim, he decided to suspend the paving of the ground, he has a new idea, as for the outdoor ground, Yuan Fang also has a new idea, he intends to change from the original bluestone ground to the oil road, that is, the asphalt mixing of the gravel rolling road, this idea is just seen when the worker cart passed through the pothole roadside is too bumpy to think of, although the bluestone ground is relatively flat, But still can not avoid the existence of seams, there are seams, the gurney will vibrate, imagine, if the patient with bone injury lies on the gurney, such a shock will definitely make people feel painful, people who have not experienced bone injury probably will not understand the heart-rending pain, out of responsibility for the patient, Yuan Fang would rather spend more money to do the best.

Speaking of this, Yuan Fang was afraid that he would forget it when he got busy, so he hurriedly said to Jingqiu: "Jingqiu, you help me remember it, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible." Yu Jingqiu was also afraid that she would forget, so she fumbled for a while and took out a piece of straw paper from her arms, but there was no pen.

Ouyang Xianxue said with nostalgia on her face: "Alas, it would be nice if Guan Xiaoyun was here, he has everything on him." ”

Ouyang Xianxue said, Yuan Fang remembered this shy and stubborn guy, scratched his head and asked, "By the way, what about the kid?" Why haven't you seen it all the time? He's my orderly and clerk, so why don't you report when I come back? ”

Ouyang Xianxue said with a smile: "Xiaoyun was borrowed by General Lin Ru some time ago, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while. ”

Yuan Fang wondered and asked, "Borrowed?" What do you mean? ”

Yu Jingqiu glared at Ouyang Xianxue and replied: "General Lin Ru is training recruits, General Yuqing has taken away a large number of grassroots officers on the Eastern Expedition, and for a while, General Lin Ru's side was a little chaotic, and she couldn't be busy alone, so she seconded Guan Xiaoyun to help." ”

Yuan Fang nodded suddenly, and asked curiously: "Oh, that's it, by the way, what did that kid help?" ”

Yu Jingqiu smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you can underestimate Xiaoyun, although he has not received professional military training, and he doesn't know anything about arranging troops and arranging formations, but he also has his own set of internal affairs, and he has indeed helped General Lin Ru a lot." ”
