By the afternoon, Yang Song found that he suddenly had nothing to do. It wasn't that he had nothing to do, but that he didn't have the conditions to do what needed to be done.

For example: when exploring the outside of the city, the logistics materials for the army have not been prepared. Expanding the population cannot be done overnight.

Suddenly I remembered that I hadn't taken a closer look at his mansion and the candidates for the new housekeeper. Thinking of this, I realized that I still had something to do.

Let all the maids and servants gather at the martial arts training ground. It was found that there were two maids, four servants, and a cook.

After introducing myself, I learned that the maids are named Xiaolan and Xiaojuan, the servants are named after benevolence and justice, and the cook is named Li Er.

Yang Song thought for a while, appointed a new housekeeper, and then asked the servants to go down and do their own thing.

The new butler's name is Yang Li.

After taking care of the affairs of the mansion, he prepared to take a walk around the mansion to take a good look at the place where he would live in the future.

The martial arts training ground is the square in the front yard. There is a screen wall in the square next to the gate, blocking the line of sight from outside the door.

There is a side house on each side of the square, which is also a guest room. There are two houses behind the side house, the two on the left are for guards and guards, and the two on the right are for servants, separated by men and women.

Yang Song's main bedroom building is located in the middle of the two buildings, with a back garden behind it. There is a pavilion in the garden. There is an attic connected to the main building on the left rear of the main building.

On the right side of the garden and next to the servants' residence is a small courtyard, which contains the kitchen and utility room. A little further behind the small courtyard is the latrine. On the right side of the garden are the warehouse and stables, which are also separated by the courtyard wall.

Open.

There are corridors connecting each building, which can be used unimpeded even on rainy days.

By the time Yang Song finished inspecting the Lord's Mansion, time had passed unknowingly.

As night approached, the servants came to report. Yang Zhong, Zhou Wu, and Zhang Wei were waiting in the hall to see them, and quickly returned to the living room.

"Meet my lord." After the ceremony, everyone sat down in order of priority, and Yang Zhong began to present today's work content.

"My lord, my subordinates have completed the distribution of the fields outside the city. They have also distributed farm tools and seeds to households. Farming can begin at dawn tomorrow."

"Some of my subordinates who don't know how to farm have also arranged to go out of the city to cut trees or mine."

"That's good. Pay attention to planning the planting content. How much rice should be planted, how much mulberry should be planted, and how much vegetables and fruits should be planted. You have to plan well." Yang Song said, he didn't want to have no vegetables and fruits to eat in the future.

"It's probably too much for you to do so much on your own. You can recruit a few people to help you."

"Yes, thank you, Lord." Yang Zhong also felt that there was not enough manpower. He was very busy today. He had to find a few literate people on site to help. Otherwise, he would not be able to finish the whole day.

"How are you two doing?" Yang Song asked Zhou Wu and Zhang Wei again.

"Lord, the captains and chiefs have been selected. Here is the list." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he presented a list.

"Okay, what else is there?" Yang Song looked over it and asked as if accidentally.

"My lord, my subordinates have arranged for cavalry to act as scouts to explore the surrounding area of ​​the city and spy in batches to ensure that the surrounding environment is known as quickly as possible," Zhou Wu replied.

"Very good, your main task now is to find out whether there are enemies around, but you must also pay attention to safety and notify me immediately if there is any situation." Yang Song said with satisfaction. Looking at the system map, he found that there were already cavalry activities around the city.

.

"My lord, my subordinates have also arranged for infantry to patrol the city walls and guard the city gates. However, due to a serious shortage of troops, they are still unable to fully guard the city walls. I plan to focus on guarding the city gates and arrange some soldiers to patrol the city walls." Zhang Wei.

Reported.

"Very good, that's good. Now we need to focus on guarding the east side of the city, which is now the residential area for the common people." Yang Song said, "Both of you are good, so let's leave it at that for the time being. Pay more attention to the outside of the city to prevent enemy attacks."

Yang Song found that in the system, in the military module and general options, the word "to be determined" after the two names was gone. This was because the system recognized the identities of the two people. Because he recognized their abilities, the system recognized them.

"The public security in the city will be arranged after Yang Zhong recruits enough people. Your army will take care of it for a few days." Yang Song found that nothing happened for the time being, so he asked Zhou Wu and Zhang Wei to go back and rest.

He turned around and continued to say to Yang Zhong: "By the way, there is no special government office yet. You can find an empty house for the office location and build it later. There are also several orders I issued today. You can implement them."

Go down. If you have nothing to do, go down and rest."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Yang Song went to the military camp to find Zhou Wu. He wanted to learn to ride a horse. Even lunch was eaten in the military camp. Although he could ride a carriage on weekdays, he didn't want to have to go to the battlefield in the future.

Take a carriage ride.

It is worth mentioning that during the meal, he discovered that people in ancient times only had two meals a day. Yang Song ordered the food in the military camp to be changed to three meals a day, and also explained the three meals a day to the two commanders.

Importance, importance for improving combat effectiveness.

Ordinary people Yang Song could not give orders directly. He hoped to bring this habit to ordinary people's homes through the influence of soldiers in the military camp.

When he returned home in the evening, Yang Song rode back by himself. Although he was not yet proficient, he was still able to ride for a walk. He had already learned everything he needed to learn, and he just needed to practice more in the future. This was Zhou Wu's advice to him.

Said.

Back at the mansion, Yang Zhong had something to report. Yang Song asked him to meet him in the study.

"Lord, my subordinates have made a plan for recruiting manpower, please take a look." Yang Zhong said and presented several pieces of paper to him with both hands.

Yang Song took it and looked at the content on the paper. The method of recruiting people was written on the paper: recruiting talents through scientific examination.

There are also positions open for recruitment: patrol, civil affairs, finance, court, and farming.

And at the end, I wrote the scope of responsibility of these categories and the exam questions:

The court is responsible for trials. The exam topic is to discuss the sentencing of crimes such as theft, robbery, murder, etc., and then write an article on how the law should be qualitative and quantitative.

Patrol officers are responsible for maintaining public security in the city, patrolling the city, and apprehending criminals based on the approval of general judges. The exam content includes subjects such as martial arts, interrogation, and literacy.

Civil Affairs is responsible for managing civil affairs, household registration, etc. This exam covers household registration management, marriage registration, etc.

Finance, responsible for taxation, accounting books, tax evasion, tax collection, tax management, etc.

Nongsang is responsible for agriculture and breeding. The test is the grasp of the seasons and the familiarity with crops.

After reading the plan that Yang Zhong worked out all day long, it can be seen that it was a plan that was arrived at after careful consideration.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work. I have nothing more to say about this, but I suggest adding a department that is responsible for managing mineral resources such as ores and timber. What do you think?"

After Yang Song read Yang Zhong's plan, he thought for a moment and then suggested.

"My lord is wise, my subordinates will do it now." Yang Zhong said in admiration.

"No, let's discuss it right away and come up with a final decision. You can make it public tomorrow. The sooner you decide, the sooner you can start recruiting people." Yang Song waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to go to such trouble.

"Yes, lord."

…

Finally decided to add an item: Shimu, responsible for the collection and processing of resources.

After the agreement was made, Yang Zhong went to work, but he had nothing to do, so he looked at the books on the bookshelf - they were all words of sages.

The most important thing is that now there are no complicated entertainments like before. I can only read books to pass the time and enrich myself.

As a monarch, you don't have to do everything yourself. What you need is to know people and make good use of them - he still knows this.

Yang Song didn't get up until almost noon the next day, waiting for lunch. Zhou Wu came to report something.

"Lord, we have discovered that there is an ocean more than 20 miles (ten kilometers) east of the city, and there is a bay. The river in the north of the city flows into this bay from west to east. There is no report yet in the west and south of the city." Zhou Wu reported.

"Okay, I understand, please continue to investigate and report any situation immediately." Yang Song replied, and then turned his attention to the system map.

"I obey!" Zhou Wu accepted the order and left.

There is a wide river next to the north of Apocalypse City. The situation on the other side of the river cannot be known without exploration.

Ten kilometers away to the east is an ocean, not far from Tianqi City, which can be used as an outlet to the sea in the future.

To the west of Apocalypse City is a large forest, whose extent is unknown.

To the south, the visible area closer to the city is a grassland dotted with some trees, which is very suitable for livestock raising. Further away, it is still pitch black, with cavalry exploring the edge.

Just now, Zhou Wu did not report the situation in the west and south, probably because the cavalry who went out to explore had not reported yet, but Yang Song could already check the places that the cavalry had explored through the system map.

Yang Song thought for a while, mounted his horse, and led the guards Wang Wei and the escort team to the military camp to ask Zhou Wu to take the only cavalry team left in Tianqi City and rush to the bay in the east of the city to see the sea.

As for why he brought soldiers, it was because Yang Song was afraid of death.

I don’t know if there are any natives in this place, and given the threat of wild beasts, it’s better to be prepared.

Zhang Wei was left to guard the city and look after the house. With the systematic map, he didn't have to worry about getting lost and went straight to the bay.

We rested once in the middle, ate some dry food, and continued on our way. Due to the excellent horses, we arrived at the seaside in only a few hours. This was because we had to go around inaccessible places.

Yang Song rushed here and found that this bay is really a resort, with golden beaches, white waves, and beautiful scenery that is very charming.

So a group of people rested at the beach for a while, and even Yang Song went for a swim. After resting, they walked north along the coast.

The mouth of the Tianqi River (the river in the north of the city is named Tianqi River) is in the north of the bay. After crossing the river, you don’t know what is going on.

The cavalry in this direction were exploring southward and had not crossed the river at all.

After riding for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the mouth of the river appeared in front of him. Yang Song asked Zhou Wu to arrange a site to camp, and wait until tomorrow to see if he could find a way to cross the river.

In the evening, we lit a bonfire, roasted game, ate dry food, and discussed the scenery and strange beasts along the way.

On the way here, we encountered a group of wild dogs, about thirty or forty in number, but they fled in all directions under the driving force of the cavalry.

And he was a complete laggard, with a group of guards protecting him from being attacked by these beasts.
Chapter completed!
