"I am Zhang Han, the Vice Commander of the Shadow Secret Guards. Greetings, Young Master! Greetings, Sikong!"
Accompanied by a voice full of energy, a young man with a determined expression knelt in front of Fu Su and Sima Yi.
This person was wearing leather armor on the inside and armor with a skeleton pattern on the outside. His face was like a knife, and there was a hint of coldness in his determination.
Behind him were eighteen capable and nimble armored Shadow Secret Guards.
A smile immediately appeared on Fu Su's face."
"General Zhang, please rise. In the following days, I will have to trouble General Zhang!”
"I dare not. I will obey the king's orders and swear to protect young master and Sikong!”
Zhang Han said with a solemn expression.
As the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han was known for his meticulous and strict management of troops, so Fu Su did not find it strange.
At this moment, Ying Zheng had already returned to Xianyang with his ministers. In Shanggu Village, besides a thousand soldiers waiting to be mobilized for disaster relief, there were only Fusu, Sima Yi, and eighteen secret guards led by Zhang Han.
Although there were only eighteen Shadow Secret Guards, Fu Su did not feel that Ying Zheng had assigned too few guards to him, because the name Shadow Secret Guards represented extreme power.
As the personal guards of Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, the Shadow Secret Guards only listened to the orders of Ying Zheng alone. Not only were they responsible for protecting the King of Qin, but they were also excellent assassins, spies, and spies. In the court of Qin, they were even more mysterious than the net.
Every Shadow Secret Guard was a powerful warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles. They were excellent veterans selected from thousands of troops. Other than possessing powerful martial strength, they also had absolute loyalty!
Until now, no one knew the identity of the real commander of the Shadow Secret Guards except Ying Zheng. Even Zhang Han did not know. He had only seen the mysterious commander wearing a mask a few times in Ying Zheng's bedroom.
"Sir Sikong, let's start with Shanggu Village.”
Fu Su smiled as he looked at Sima Yi, who had just been promoted to Sikong. This was also the reason why they had stayed here and not returned to Xianyang. The drought was like fire, and they could not delay for even a moment.
"Young Master, ever since Young Master left, I've expanded the scope of recruitment. I've gathered hundreds of carpenters in Shanggu Village and are working day and night on the village's grain-pounding field.
It was just that the wood was a little tight.”
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Fu Su looked at Zhang Han and said softly,"
"General Zhang, please send a message to the nearby government to transfer wood and recruit carpenters.”
Zhang Han nodded and made a hand gesture. Instantly, eight Shadow Secret Guards leaped up and ran in eight different directions. In a few movements, they disappeared from sight.
There was no other way. Sima Yi was only a temporary Sikong, and some of his subordinates and officials had not been assigned yet. Some of them were still in Xianyang, waiting for Ying Zheng to return to Xianyang to give his instructions before rushing over.
And those 1,000 soldiers were mostly used as labor at critical moments.
After giving the order, Fu Su continued,"
"With the speed of production in Shanggu Village, I'm afraid it won't be able to supply all the affected areas in a short period of time. After all, some villages have different terrains, and one or even more waterwheels won't be enough.
Even if there were a large number of waterwheels, it would take time to transport them to various places.
Therefore, in addition to using Shanggu Village as a manufacturing base, they should also send skilled carpenters with blueprints, each protected by an official and four soldiers, to further places to guide the local carpenters in making waterwheels.
Only by doing both could the drought be resolved as soon as possible!”
Sima Yi nodded in agreement with Fu Su's opinion. He quickly wrote down Sikong's first decree and recorded it down. Half a day later, when the officials of Sikong's office arrived from Xianyang, they would immediately carry it out.
At this moment, Zhang Han, who was always by Fu Su's side, knelt on one knee and looked at Fu Su with a solemn expression."
"Young Master, please accept my bow!"
Fu Su, on the other hand, was confused by this sudden scene. As he supported Zhang Han, he said,"
"General Zhang, why are you doing this?"
Zhang Han looked at the busy work in the grain-smashing field and said to Fu Su in a serious tone,"
"Zhang Han was born as a commoner and joined the army early on. He had experienced some battles and was favored by His Majesty to become the Vice Commander of the Shadow Secret Guards.
Since he joined the Shadow Secret Guard, he couldn't show favoritism. However, his elderly parents and fellow villagers were also farmers. If it wasn't for the young master's help to turn the tide, his parents and fellow villagers would probably have to dig ditches.
Young Master fought with the Prime Minister for the sake of the people in the Imperial Court, saving Zhang Han's parents and countless elders in the Qin Country.
Therefore, Zhang Han had to thank Young Master on behalf of his parents and fellow villagers!”
When Sima Yi saw this, he couldn't help but say to Fu Su,"
"General Zhang is right. Today's ironware and ironware farming tools have only been created recently and are not very useful.
Many of the middle-aged demons and prisoners conscripted by Mount Li died of exhaustion. If they relied on manpower to dig ditches, who knew how many commoners would die of exhaustion.
General Zhang's bow came from the bottom of his heart and moved everyone!”
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Fu Su suddenly had the idea of improving the ironware of this era and increasing the efficiency of labor. However, in front of Zhang Han, Fu Su didn't say such advanced words.
Half a day later, the manpower and resources of Xianyang and the nearby government, as well as Sikong's subordinates, were all in place. Thus, Sima Yi began to truly carry out his duties as Sikong.
The allocation of manpower and resources, the arrangement of mountains and villages, and even the waterwheel disaster relief plan for each village, Sima Yi gave appropriate suggestions according to the map and his own investigation. He assigned different numbers of carpentry officials to supervise the construction of the waterwheel.
Everything was done in an orderly manner, causing Fu Su to gasp in amazement.
Sima Yi was indeed good at internal affairs!
As for Fu Su, the " supervisor ", he heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to rest for a while, he suddenly had a thought and revealed a happy expression.
" Congratulations, host. You have completed the mission 'Saving the People from Fire and Water'. A General Talent Recruitment Token!"
This wasn't the first time Fu Su had received a Sage Recruitment Order. The previous Advisor Recruitment Order had brought Sima Yi to Fu Su, and the Vigilante Recruitment Order had brought Ancestor Sunflower to Fu Su.
The current General Recruitment Order immediately made Fu Su look forward to it.
Therefore, Fu Su walked into his temporary tent and stroked the General Series Talent Recruitment Token in his hand. He thought to himself,"
"System, confirm to use the recruitment token!”
"Congratulations, host, confirmation successful. The system is summoning a general. Random!"
Accompanied by a mechanical voice in his mind, a space-time vortex appeared in front of Fu Su's eyes. Under Fu Su's somewhat excited anticipation, an eight-foot-tall general in a white robe and silver armor holding a spear stepped through the vortex and appeared in front of Fu Su.
The moment the general spoke, Fu Su was overjoyed. He stopped breathing for a moment.
"I, Zhao Yun, pay my respects to the Lord!"
