In the inner city of Guangzhou, the General's Mansion, more than two months have passed in a flash.

The flowers and magnolias and the branches of the kapok trees are already full of buds growing lushly and densely, and the sound of cicadas are rushing out of the walls. The hot breath from summer is impatient to drive away the sleepy spring breeze; competing to cover this ancient city.

Not far from the street of the General's Mansion, in the newly-signed side courtyard, Zhou Huaian also raised his head in a pile of books and rubbed his face that had been stiff for too long. He called behind him: "Che is coming."

Then, amid the slightest swaying and friction of the objects, a pair of small hands holding the things hard suddenly entered his eyes; but the small pendant "Carus" was holding a tea tray larger than her head, carefully using her head to help support her step and put it aside; she also blew it with the cover of the yellow-glazed celadon and then delivered it to Zhou Huaian's hand; and after all this, there were already fine beads of sweat on her face and nose, which were a little struggling.

However, Zhou Huaian would not feel pity or sympathy. At least he provided the other party with the opportunity to support himself. In this chaotic world, many people still want to support themselves.

After this period of recuperation and rest, the scabies and other skin problems on the little thing were cured, and the hair became fine and soft. Although the face was still thin and not much fleshy, the skin gradually became more delicate and looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Well, it's still a little hot, and the heat of boiling is slightly worse than that..."

Zhou Huaian took a teacup and took a sip

"But the ingredients are basically complete... there has been improvement."

If you want to live in the hot and humid Lingnan area, it is the most basic skill to cook the corresponding tea soup; from princes and nobles to peddlers, there are corresponding prescriptions and ingredients; Zhou Huaian's daily life now includes part of these different tea recipe experiments.

"Wait, what about Bai Jingjing..."

Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Why are you doing this kind of thing..."

"Sister...Sister, she took the bear and wolf dog to take a shower..."

"All right,.."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but pat his forehead and said with gratitude, then waved his hand to signal her to sit down.

"You can rest for a while...and then come and copy some things for me..."

Since the beginning of spring, this little pet, "bear, wolf dog", has a new problem. He likes to jump to the mudflats and roll in the water puddles when people are not paying attention, and then scrape and mark them everywhere with mud and sewage.

"Yes..."

The little pendant agreed with a pleasing eyebrow. It was hard to imagine the tragic scene of her and the skeleton spirit knocking over the objects to the ground or accidentally knocking down a bunch of furnishings when they first started doing housework;

Therefore, the price of maid training is the double loss and damage of various miscellaneous things, so that Zhou Huaian can't help but have some psychological shadow. For a period of time, except for the wooden utensils that are resistant to falling, they dare not use other objects.

During this period, because of these two clumsy hands, they often screamed, or scratched, and then hided in the corner and hugged their heads and shed tears. She still had to let Zhou Huaian take care of them and clean them by compulsory medicine. Otherwise, they would have to rely on these two idiots who didn't know how to take care of others and didn't know how to take care of themselves. They would be infected and ulcerated soon.

However, during these days, after all, other experienced personnel who have been slaves have been arranged to take turns to teach by example. Her performance has finally evolved from the terrible moment at the beginning to the point where she is now so careless and can still accept it. Of course, in addition to this aspect of daily life, they have other attributes to develop.

For example, the reading and memory ability of this small pendant is pretty good, and he can write neat fly-headed calligraphy, so sometimes he can start and do some writing and copying. Then, Zhou Huaian found that she did have the foundation of ink painting, so he simply taught her simple black and white sketches and three-dimensional outlines.

As for the skeleton spirit, in addition to barely learning how to lay the bed and fold the quilt and cook tea, she also seemed to have some experience in handling flowers and plants. So for the sake of the best use, she tried her best to defraud the use value, and simply took care of and feed the daily work of pet "bears and wolf dogs". So for a while, both humans and dogs were in trouble. In those days, she was often heard screaming and screaming from the bears and wolf dogs biting her.

As a corresponding punishment for dereliction of duty, she was forced to be locked up with the bear and wolf dog, deepening her feelings and connections at close range. Then, during the fight day and night, she gradually became surrender and honest and obedient.

Zhou Huaian's new title is the Grain and Material Judge of the General's Mansion, which is the initial official position and identity of Pang Xun's uprising. Therefore, he can be called "Virtual Judge" and "Virtual Judge". Although he is not as noble as the traditional "Sima, Bie Jia, and Chief Shi" who are the three generals, he is also considered an important middle-level rank in the General's Mansion, and his status is still above the Six Caos and the Joining Army, and the Recording Army.

However, he still served as the deputy leader of the Sanjiang Patrol Army, and through the continuous communication messengers and documents, he continued to lead and preside over the daily affairs of Chaoxun and the military. This was also one of the results of the struggle and compromise with the General's Mansion afterwards. Another result was that he was able to lead a regiment of troops into the city for permanent residence. Although he was currently only at the corners of the outer city, it also represented a certain close and important order.

Of course, what is more important is that this regiment will continue to practice and operate some of his ideas and measures through regular rotation; and during the period of stay in Guangzhou, Zhou Huaian also did some things within his ability.

It is based on the mature experience of several special brigades that the rebel army's logistics system and material distribution sequence were reorganized; the daily supply of bulk daily necessities in Guangzhou City was unified, and a primitive battlefield medical and health prevention system was established. Finally, the epidemic that had been on the rise and fall of the previous few days was controlled and weakened.

Then, the manpower was organized to renovate the road between Guangzhou and Meizhou and Shaozhou, and restored the station system of "ten miles one pavilion", "thirty miles one post" and "eighty miles one pavilion" on these two routes to facilitate the delivery of information and the dispatch of people.

Several sections of silted river canals in Guangzhou were also cleared, and a special water officer was established; the embankment of the main stream of the Pearl River was strengthened to strengthen the effect of water conservancy and irrigation and the utilization of river network water transportation.

In the key transportation crisis in the suburbs of Guangzhou, a mobile market within the rebel army was established so that all troops could communicate with each other.

In addition, he established a special workshop in Guangzhou City to teach some simple measurement methods and calculation principles. At present, two batches of field clearance envoys and field military officials have quickly become, and have begun to prepare for clearing the land and enclosing the land in the river basin of the Pearl River Delta.

Then, in order to support this training center that has been maintained at a scale of hundreds of people for a long time, all papermaking farms, book workshops, carving and printing craftsmen in Guangzhou were gathered to create a works bureau exclusively for the Rebel Army.

At least from woodblock printing to movable type printing, there is actually not much technical problem. The difference is that the little inspiration in the idea appears; when the movable type of ceramic and copper plates is made, and ink made of castor oil with less volatile properties can be used to replace traditional ink with more diffusiveness; it can batch print simple textbooks and story books with popular nature, such as popular textbooks and storybooks, at lower materials and labor costs.

More than a dozen original printing machines were even made, specializing in rotating array iron shafts to crush stone slabs with animal power to replace the relatively cumbersome and troublesome manpower brushing and suppression in this era. Although it is still undesirable to achieve a book that can be used for one book, it is still no problem to make every team and even every fire be read and used in turn.

The announcement of the redevelopment of the maritime ban encouraged trade, and then hosted a large-scale auction, connecting the various materials in his hands, connecting many large and small ships seized by the rebels, and dealing them with the remaining maritime merchants in different categories to the remaining maritime merchants in the city. Then, at the expense of sharing and reducing ship taxes, they were encouraged to win over and attract more merchants from outside the region and continue to come to Guangzhou for trade and trade.

Therefore, a few merchants have just arrived. Although they are only merchants from Linyi, the southern end of the Indochina Peninsula, the ships are not transported by expensive goods, but with rice and kapok cloth, but they also represent a good beginning and starting point; just as the saying goes, "No one does a loss of money business, and someone robs the beheaded business"; under the profit-seeking instinct of merchants, even if they were killed before, they still cannot stop their determination to take risks and seek benefits.

Especially Guangzhou, a unique geographical location since ancient times, makes any overseas business force that wants to trade with China an important transit and gathering place that cannot be avoided and bypassed.

Then, Nanhai County (now in Foshan, Guangdong Province), collected and integrated local iron yards and mineral smelting; divided into several major categories and uses according to scale and color, and unified the production of weapons (publicly) for the rebel army and provided various agricultural tools (privately). Because the local area has a history of carbonite mining for a long time and has rich forest resources, and the pig iron extracted from various places in Lingnan gathered here along the river, the local iron production has already reached a certain scale.

They are all projects that are inherently profound and good, and can be achieved naturally with a little guidance and are the easiest to see results in the short term. Moreover, because it is a new thing that is basically from scratch and does not infringe or touch much of the existing power structure, the rebound and objection caused are also slim results.

"If you encounter a master, maybe many people can survive."

That was when Huang Chao visited a few days ago, and he seemed to be deeply immersed in memories and felt something.

"Why should King Huang do this?"

Zhou Huaian thought to himself that I won’t take the blame.

"Since you have raised the banner of asking for your life for the people of the world,"

"How can we completely avoid sacrifices for great cause?"

Therefore, his most important responsibilities have been transferred to the title of the Emissary of the Epidemic; don't underestimate such a seemingly insignificant title, which is actually not small in scope and authority.

In most cases, people can be sent to various rebel troops to conduct (hygiene) inspections and searches (sources) under the banner of preventing and controlling the epidemic; and have the convenience of mobilizing manpower and materials nearby, and even requisitioning a certain proportion of the army. Then, he also put forward two requirements for Huang Chao who came to inspect:

"Please take the lead in taking action with the Huang Wang headquarters."

"Please lend me a team of Xiaowei as a squad and deterrent, and give me a few more temporary killing places."

Starting from Huang Chao's headquarters with relatively firm and decisive execution, and then promoting and spreading it to most of the rebel army, it can undoubtedly play a role model to a large extent, and it can also avoid the excuse of the per capita.

With the help of a team of owl guards, they are showing their attitude and position as a banner, and by the way, they are actually surveillance nearby to show their selfless attitude. As for the quota used to kill people, it is entirely to deter and solve some people who may be foolish and arrogant, and to avoid troubles caused by extravagance. After all, infectious diseases cannot be delayed.

At least in this era when people are afraid of the epidemic, there are not many people who will make deliberate difficulties or set up obstacles to obstruct various measures that may involve their own lives; this will facilitate Zhou Huaian to incorporate some of his own private life and potential purposes.

A small step to further obtaining power and resources from the rebel army has to start with this inconspicuous little thing and details that ordinary people avoid; such as the plague and summer disease that broke out intermittently. According to the history he vaguely remembered, most of Huang Chao's troops were northerners. It was because after going south to Guangzhou, a miasma epidemic broke out outside the ridge, and the deaths were not ten or three and returned home, so they had to raise their troops again and return to the north.

If you can enter this node and reduce the losses of the corresponding epidemic, what results and gains can you get? For example, what are the time to prepare and gain in Lingnan for more time, and the power preserved will be more complete and strengthened, and what kind of chemical changes and chain reactions will occur on the original historical track?
