Start with a red name

Geng Xuan looked at Guo Zian again and said:

“The Juhu Reservoir Project Department is responsible for the construction of the Juhu Reservoir.

This is the core of your new plan and also the one that requires the most technical skills.

Your future focus should also be on this area.

Among the Guo family members who came with you, choose the one with the most experience in management to be the chief steward."

The Guo family, who excel in engineering construction, not only understands engineering technology.

In this era, he is also very good at engineering management.

Apart from anything else, the regular maintenance and repair of Yuanjing's city walls and underground sewers is not an easy task.

"...I've been doing a bit of a tour today, and it's definitely involved a lot of rock-mining. I brought over 1,700 people from the basin, especially the over 1,000 diggers who have practiced earthwalking. They're all at your disposal."

Upon hearing this, Guo Zian's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

Luo Qing beside him couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this... you're not going to give me any? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Without any guidance or adaptation, Luo Qing immediately and completely put himself in his own position and resolutely fought for more rights and interests for his project department.

Geng Xuan had no complaints about this, but instead said soothingly:

“Those blocked sections look no different from other places.

But as long as you dig up the surface, you will find rubble underneath from the collapsed mountain.

Relatively speaking, these are all easier to clean.

Those laborers with high cultivation and special skills will naturally be used to the best of their abilities.

But it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to use it.

Guo Zian is the chief engineer of the entire project. His task will be accomplished only when the projects of the three project departments are all completed on schedule.

So, you don't have to worry about him being biased towards one side.

When there is a real need, personnel can naturally be transferred to each other.

My request is only for daily situations.”

"If there are truly special circumstances, someone must intervene to resolve them as quickly and effectively as possible. Of course, efficiency must be the top priority."

Having said this, he looked at everyone in the tent and said:

“The three project departments are divided only for better management.

Pushing the entire project to completion smoothly in the shortest possible time is the first priority that everyone must keep in mind.

If you only consider your own small business and lack a global perspective, you are unqualified!

Hearing him say this, everyone felt awe-inspiring.

After giving everyone a little warning, Geng Xuan continued:
"The Water Conservancy Project Department is the one with the most diverse responsibilities among the three project departments.

In the entire project, except for the dredging of the silted section and the construction of the Juhu Reservoir, all other projects can be counted under this project department.

It mainly involves the improvement and arrangement of several upstream waterways connected to the giant lake and the downstream outlet rivers, with the following purposes.

The first is to keep as much river water as possible in the river channel to avoid waste.

The second is to free as many mountains and forests as possible from flooding during the rainy season so that more villages and towns that rely on hunting for a living can be accommodated in the future.

The third is to take into account the convenience of water transportation.”

Having said this, Geng Xuan looked at Ji Cong and said:

"The more than 2,000 people from the surrounding areas of Nancenji that you brought with you this time are all assigned to the Water Conservancy Project Department.

The results of this project team are closely related to their interests, and they are most familiar with the surrounding mountains and forests.

I can make a promise now that those neighborhoods that perform best during the project will have priority rights to these mountains and forests in the future.

As long as the villagers contribute to this project, they will be able to share in the new forest in the future.

The laborers attracted from the villages will be given priority in serving the Juhu Reservoir Project Department and the Water Conservancy Project Department.”

Having said this, Geng Xuan paused, letting Ji Cong digest the information, and then said to him:

"I'd like to hand over this water control project department to you as the general manager, but I'm not sure if you're willing to take on this responsibility."

Ji Cong was overjoyed when he heard this, but he said solemnly and respectfully:
"Ji Cong will definitely live up to the leader's trust!"

Geng Xuan nodded at him, glanced at the crowd again, and continued:
“In addition to the engineering department responsible for technical support and the three project departments responsible for specific construction, I also plan to set up a separate material logistics department.

Responsible for the collection, storage and distribution of all money, food, tools and other materials involved in the project.

In addition, the Material Logistics Department has an extremely important responsibility, which is to supervise and track the use of various materials after distributing them to the three project departments.

It goes without saying that any waste, embezzlement, corruption, etc. must be dealt with immediately.

In addition, even if such a situation does not occur, but various materials are not effectively and fully utilized and are idle and wasted, they must be dealt with seriously.

Let me give you some examples.

A certain project department applied for too much food. To save trouble, the cook always took it from the outermost and top layer, causing the food below to be piled up for a long time and causing it to become damp and moldy.

Or perhaps a project department applies for too many tools and certain necessary materials, or there is poor internal coordination, resulting in a large number of tools and materials being piled up in the warehouse for a long time and not being used effectively.

Or, a project department may have applied for unnecessary materials or applied for too much because of an initial assessment error. In order to cover up their mistakes, the person in charge may dispose of these materials at will or even landfill them.

Anyway, it’s not your thing, who would really feel bad about it?

These are just a few examples I picked randomly. There will definitely be more similar situations once the project is actually put into operation.

The losses caused by these situations are even greater than those caused by embezzlement and corruption.”

Having said this, Geng Xuan looked at Luo Qing, Guo Zian, and Ji Cong and said:
“You should have experienced this firsthand over the past two days.

It can be said that everything here is made of silver.

I hope that as the managers of the three project departments, you can realize the importance and necessity of this department.

Don't be resistant, but actively cooperate with their work.

If there is any punishment against a project department, it must be implemented resolutely.”

"Don't worry, boss. I will actively cooperate. This is also very necessary." Luo Qing was the first to make the promise.

Ji Cong and Guo Zian also quickly gave corresponding guarantees.

Geng Xuan nodded in satisfaction, looked at Chen Zhan, and said:
“I want to put this material logistics department under your charge.

This time I also brought out all those trusted followers who helped you build the spy system in Yuanzhou from the basin.

Now, you can call all these people at will.

I have only one request, that they stop hiding their abilities and use all their abilities. Even if the number of personnel in the three project departments reaches hundreds of thousands in the future, we must ensure that we have our "eyes" in every team.

This is a good use of resources.”

In fact, merging this function into the "Material Logistics Department" seems somewhat inappropriate. It would be more reasonable to set up a separate Supervisory Department.

But Geng Xuan didn't want to create too many departments.

After much thought, I decided to just integrate it completely into one department.

He is also not worried about the department having too much power.

For him, who has the ability to "read minds", there is no need to worry about the problem of subordinates having too much authority.

Feeling the strange looks from all around him, Chen Zhan opened his mouth. He felt that his image of "doing dirty work" was completely confirmed.

From then on, the first thing people remember about him is that "from the Giant Bear Gang to the super project, his 'eyes' are everywhere!"

If he had a choice, he would like to switch to an easier and cleaner way of life.

But in the end, he just said, "Yes."

Geng Xuan's eyes moved and looked at Qu Qingfeng, the last person who came to his tent late at night to pay a visit according to his orders.

"I also plan to set up an information support department, which you will be in charge of."

Qu Qingfeng was stunned. He pointed at his nose and said in a lost voice, "Me? What does this have to do with me?"

His purpose of coming here this time was not for this project, but to serve as a "technical consultant" to Cheng Hui.

The reason why he did not follow Cheng Hui to the "Ochre-Eye" Basin was because he had an important job to do.

Using this temporary camp as a springboard, the Wuyou Palace Fortress, which is far away from Yuanjing City, can be more stably embedded into the system of this information network.

The distance between Yuanjing and Qingyuanji is about two thousand miles. A carrier pigeon's flight distance is slightly shorter, but only by two or three hundred miles at most. The distance between this camp and Yuanjing is shortened to about one thousand two hundred to one thousand three hundred miles, even closer than the southernmost edge of the "Southern Four Collections."

Geng Xuan nodded to Qu Qingfeng, confirming that there was no operational error.

"Yes, that's you."

Then, he looked directly at Luo Qing, Guo Zian and others and explained:

“I divided the project into so many parts so that you can focus more on your own areas of responsibility and improve efficiency.

But there is a problem, that is the connection between the various parts.

In the area of engineering connection between project departments, if the progress of the project is affected due to poor communication, it is a small matter. In serious cases, it may even leave catastrophic hidden dangers without being aware of it.

If there is poor coordination and communication between the Engineering Department, Project Department, and Material Logistics Department, the consequences will be equally serious, and may even completely deviate from my original intention of doing so.

Therefore, efficient, timely and accurate information communication is not only beneficial but also very necessary.

Once the project is fully launched, it will be carried out over an area of hundreds or thousands of miles.

There are hundreds of thousands of people involved, and the number of construction sites may reach hundreds or even thousands.

There is no organization that can quickly aggregate and communicate information from various locations in a timely and efficient manner, and the information is only passed on by word of mouth among various teams.

If something goes wrong somewhere, or engineering changes have to be made based on actual conditions, it may take several days or even more than ten days for the feedback to be passed up the chain.

This is even considered good. The more likely scenario is that, in order to save trouble, the lower levels will solve the problem internally unless they are completely unable to handle it.

Either way, the consequences are catastrophic.”

Luo Qing, Guo Zian, and Ji Cong all looked at Geng Xuan in amazement. Before he pointed out this problem, they had never thought about it at all.

Now, when Geng Xuan took the initiative to reveal this situation, they suddenly realized that there was such a "sinkhole" here that they had never realized before.

Geng Xuan looked at Qu Qingfeng again and said:
“You don’t need to get involved in anything related to engineering.

All I ask of you is that you do your best and show your skills as a pigeon trainer.

The "brain" of each project department can quickly and accurately obtain real-time information of each construction team.

From the project progress to the problems encountered by each engineering team during the actual construction process, solutions, etc., all of them must be clearly understood.

Ensure that every aspect of the project is under control.

And ensure that every link is carried out strictly in accordance with the plan given by the Engineering Department and the schedule set by the Project Department.

In addition, each project department, as well as the engineering department and the materials and logistics department, must be fully aware of each other's information, especially the information of the front-line engineering teams."

Listening to Geng Xuan spouting out words one by one, Qu Qingfeng's eyes became more and more staring.

However, the eyes of Luo Qing, Guo Zian, Ji Cong and Chen Zhan became brighter and brighter.

In the end, everyone stared at Qu Qingfeng as if he were a "lively treasure".

Before Geng Xuan made these requests, they never dared to have such extravagant hopes.

But now, they all suddenly understood and exclaimed in their hearts: "There's actually a way to play it!"

Being stared at by so many eyes, Qu Qingfeng murmured, "This... you sound so easy, but to realize it, it's so difficult..."

Hearing his complaints, Geng Xuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly:
"The information spider web of Wuyou Palace that spreads throughout Yuanzhou is built with the Pigeon Training Courtyard as its core.

That's all over Yuanzhou!
The most core parts of this project are concentrated within a few dozen miles. Even if all of them are counted, the distance between the two farthest construction sites will not exceed a thousand miles.

This is much easier than the one in Wuyou Palace, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Qingfeng couldn't help but mutter, "How can it be the same? Wuyou Palace has gone through hundreds of years of refinement to finally come up with this set, and you want me to start from scratch..."

Having said that, he caught a glimpse of Su Ruiliang's calm eyes, and his heart suddenly started, and the words he said immediately changed.

"…To achieve what you said, the current manpower is not enough!
I want people, lots and lots of people!"

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Zhan and said, "In this area, you two actually have a lot of room for cooperation. You can definitely have two brands with one team."

Chen Zhan nodded slightly.

He understood what "Su Ruiliang" meant. Those "eyes" he arranged to go deep into various project departments could also serve as information sending and receiving terminals.

“Not just these people… I want to transfer all the staff from the pigeon training academy here.

There are also carrier pigeons, all of which need to be transferred here.

Only a few people and a group of carrier pigeons can be left at the Acropolis, and all the others must be transferred here.

Otherwise, if I rely on myself alone, I won’t be able to build this stage at all.”

Qu Qingfeng kept making requests, and Geng Xuan of course agreed to all of them.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"It's all up to you."

Finally, seeing that Qu Qingfeng had no new requests and just lowered his head in silent thought, he looked away and looked at Luo Qing and the others again, saying:
“There are many factors that affect engineering efficiency.

I divide them into external factors and internal factors.

External factors are all those things that you cannot control or intervene in and can only passively accept.

For example, changes in the weather, characteristics of the terrain, changes in Yuanzhou and even Jiuzhou, etc.

This, I can assure you, is that, apart from the heaven and earth, which I can't do anything about, whether it's the changes in Yuanzhou or Jiuzhou, I will do my best to create an external environment for you that is as undisturbed as possible."

Geng Xuan, who said this, felt helpless in his heart, thinking that "human power is limited" and "I can only do this much at best."

But when the other people in the tent heard it, they were all stunned.

To be honest, what you said is so overbearing!

What does it mean to say, "I can't do anything about anything except heaven and earth, but I'll do my best to handle everything else for you"?!

"Internal factors are those that you can influence and change through your own active intervention.

From adjustments to systems and organizations, to improvements to tools, to more reasonable optimization of construction plans, etc., it can be reflected in every aspect of the engineering process.

You should not take my plan as the standard. If you have better ideas, think a new department needs to be set up, or think a certain department is not necessary, you can speak up.

As long as I can be convinced, I will gladly agree.

In other aspects, don't stop thinking. If you have any good ideas, communicate them in time and try them boldly.

It’s your first time, so don’t worry about making a fool of yourself or making mistakes.

As long as they are not deliberately doing harm, I support any attempt!"

Having said this, he looked at everyone and said meaningfully:
"This is truly a rare opportunity, and I hope you can all cherish it and seize it well."

Everyone nodded silently.

Finally, Geng Xuan said, "That's all I have to say. If you have anything to add or other questions, please raise them now."

Having said this, seeing that no one spoke, he paused and said:

"From now on, I won't ask too many questions about the specific issues related to this project.

At most, I would occasionally pay attention to the progress of the project.

You will have to worry about those specific issues yourselves in the future.

By then, even if you have something to ask me, it won’t matter whether I’m here or not.”

While the others were still thinking about what to say, Luo Qing, who was most familiar with his style of doing things, immediately spoke:

"Boss, the three project teams should be stationed separately, right? From the camps to the personnel and all the supplies, should they all be separated?"

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "It's best to separate them; that way it will be easier to manage.

Moreover, for the convenience of construction, it is best to build the camp next to the construction site.

Not only will the camps of the three project departments be separated, but once the project is fully launched, each project department will likely have to build more new camps.

Don't let people spend too much time traveling to and from school.

...But now that the project has just started, there are not so many requirements.

Until the other two project teams' accommodation camps are built, the food, tools, and other supplies will have to be kept here for the time being."

Luo Qing nodded to show that he understood, and immediately continued:
"There is also the matter of standardizing the measurements. Previously, it was me, Peng Ke, and the old masters in the Wufang camp who were doing this.

The tools that are now transported from the Wufang Camp have all been standardized after unified measurements.

According to your plan, they will basically be concentrated in my dredging project department in the future.

Should this set of metrics be implemented in the other two project departments?"

Geng Xuan nodded: "Of course."

After Luo Qing reminded him, Geng Xuan immediately gave a clear answer and looked at Chen Zhan, saying:

"The Materials and Logistics Department should focus on following up on this matter."

Chen Zhan, who had been with the Giant Bear Gang for some time and was quite familiar with the matter, immediately responded, "Yes...it would be best to transfer a few experienced masters to the Logistics Department."

"You should discuss this with Luo Qing."

Geng Xuan did not nod immediately and let them solve the matter which required coordination between the two departments themselves.

Isn't this the purpose for him to take the trouble to set up these departments?

Ji Cong also took the opportunity to raise a question.

"Boss, both the scale of the project and the number of people involved have exceeded what Director Luo and his team had planned.

As long as the logistics can keep up, I can get tens of thousands of people here in a very short time. What I am worried about now is, can the logistics keep up? "

For now, logistics is nothing more than food and tools, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.

"Food is not a problem, as for tools..."

Geng Xuan first gave Ji Cong a promise, then looked at Luo Qing.

Luo Qing shook his head and said solemnly: "Not enough."

Ji Cong thought for a moment and said:
"Boss, how about this, I ask each neighborhood to bring their own tools?

Tools like axes, saws, carts, hammers, shovels, etc. are available in every workshop.

However, the types and styles may be a bit varied, which will increase the difficulty of management and is somewhat inconsistent with your original intention of promoting unified measurement. "

Geng Xuan said indifferently, "Let's first solve the problem. We can deal with the rest later."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Zhan and said, "Place an order immediately with the iron shops in the surrounding markets."

Chen Zhan nodded, but said, "Just placing an order might not be enough. Such a large number of tools and equipment will definitely require repair and maintenance. I want to directly bring some ironwork shops here to specialize in this."

Guo Zian couldn't help but say:
“The number of tools needed in the early stage is too large, and it is difficult to meet the demand in a short period of time relying solely on the potential of the surrounding markets.

My opinion is that we should just contact Acropolis and conduct a large-scale purchase directly around Yuanjing.

Either deliver it yourself or arrange for a trustworthy caravan to deliver it.

If we walk fast, day and night, we can arrive in three or four days at most."

Yuanjing has the largest number of chambers of commerce and escort agencies in the entire Yuanzhou, all of which are backed by powerful forces.

Because of its special atmosphere, it is the place with the most developed business atmosphere and the most "reputation" not only in the entire Yuanzhou, but even in Kyushu.

Geng Xuan was very satisfied to see that everyone actively participated in the discussion and gave meaningful solutions.

This is the effect he wants.

Only at the end, when everyone had made up their minds, did he say to Qu Qingfeng, "Write a letter to Yuan Jing later and ask them to take care of this matter immediately."

The battle to capture the Wuyou Palace Citadel was too lucrative, from money to supplies, so much that no one knew what to do with it for a while.

Now, using it to purchase labor tools on a large scale can be considered as "accumulating good karma" for these blood-stained properties.

"Anything else?" Geng Xuan asked.

Seeing that no one spoke again, he was about to adjourn the meeting.

Luo Qing suddenly spoke again and said:
“Boss, there are only about 7,000 people in the camp, and there have been many disturbances.

If everyone hadn't stepped in in time, a fight would probably have broken out.

...Everyone comes from such diverse backgrounds, there are really all kinds of people.

When people get together, accidents are inevitable.

When the number of people increases in the future, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people... I even feel that enemies who have not been found for decades may run into each other on our construction site.

If that happens, let alone a fight, it's very likely that they'll draw their knives and start slashing at each other."

It sounds funny that the long-lost enemy meets on the construction site, but to the ears of everyone present, it does not sound funny at all.

The point is, they all knew that this was very likely to happen.

Moreover, even if there is no long-standing hatred, when hundreds of thousands of people gather together, it is very common for some vicious scenes to occur!

Geng Xuan couldn't help but pat his forehead and said, "I was negligent."

He said to Zha Luo who was standing at the door, "Go and call Hong Quan."

Soon, Hong Quan walked quickly into the tent.

Geng Xuan briefly explained the situation to him and then said directly, "I plan to set up a security department. Its main responsibility is to maintain order on the construction site and ensure the normal progress of the project.

The first thing is to guard against foreign enemies.

You may not feel it now, thinking that this place is remote.

But in the future, as more and more people gather here, huge amounts of money and materials will flow here every day, which will inevitably attract more people to gather here.

Those who behave properly do not need to be driven away.

But if there are those who have other intentions, or even those who are secretly doing bad things, they must be resolutely punished.

Another thing is to maintain internal order. If there is an internal fight or even murder, the security department must appear immediately.

Of course, what I hope most is that you can prevent this from happening again.”

"Yes."

Hong Quan agreed to this sudden new arrangement without any hesitation.

It was not until he took on this new task that he asked, "Do you still need me to participate in the daily round-trip transportation?"

Geng Xuan asked, "What is Jiang Hongyi doing now?"

Hong Quan said, "Boss, do you want to transfer him to take charge of this matter? Qingyuan has several thousand people, and now it is rebuilding, and there are also many things to do."

Not only are there a lot of things to do, but as a large construction site, there is also a high possibility of trouble, so there must be someone who can calm the situation. Although there are Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng, one person needs to be responsible for the entire Giant Bear Gang and all matters related to the project.

One needs to take charge of the overall reconstruction of Qingyuanji and has no time to take into account more specific details.

"...Then Ding Fuquan..." Geng Xuan thought about it and finally thought of the three "old" hall masters who were still alive.

But before he could finish his words, Hong Quan interrupted him, saying, "He has already received the mission to eliminate the remnants of Wuyou Palace and is not in Qingyuanji at all now."

At this point, he couldn't help but remind them: "Now, most of the gang members have accepted this mission, and there are less than two hundred gang members left in Qingyuanji."

"..." Geng Xuan looked at Hong Quan speechlessly, and suddenly felt that the Giant Bear Gang, this "donkey", had been exploited too harshly by him.

"Then what good suggestions do you have?" Geng Xuan simply kicked the ball to Hong Quan.

Hong Quan looked at him and said softly, "What do you think... of Xie Hang?"

"Xie Hang? ...Is he reliable?"

In Geng Xuan's impression, Xie Hang is still a young man who cries when encountering problems, and does not look like someone who can shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Hong Quan defended him a little and said, "After experiencing so many battles in succession these days, he has grown a lot.

Moreover, I have benefited greatly from the several grace ceremonies. Now I am not far from breaking through the marrow refining stage, and my strength is not bad either."

He paused and added, "Oh, we can also ask Fan Hongsheng to be his assistant."

"Is he in the camp now?" Geng Xuan asked curiously.

"Not in the camp, but in Qingyuanji." Geng Xuan nodded.

I remembered a piece of news that Luo Qing had said before, saying that Balifang knew about their need for Xuanyou horses, and immediately sent all the Xuanyou horses in their hands to Qingyuanji.

Thinking about the benefits of those mountains and forests to the neighborhood, there was no reason to leave out the eight neighborhoods that were closest to it.

So he nodded and said, “Okay, you can make one last trip tomorrow and leave this matter to Xie Hang and Fan Hongsheng.

In addition, reveal to him the specific details of the "Water Control Project Department".

If they are interested, please send someone over here immediately."

"Yes." Hong Quan replied.

After agreeing on this matter, Geng Xuan asked again if he had anything else to say.

No one spoke again. Just as he was about to adjourn the meeting, Zha Luo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly whispered:

"Master, I have something to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate to say it."

Geng Xuan laughed and scolded, "Why are you beating around the bush? Just tell me what you have to say."

Zha Luo glanced at him and said softly:
"Right after the Qingyuanji War ended, you led hundreds of temporary gang members and dozens of official gang members north.

When you returned later, you left a large part of it in the basin.

Now, they heard that the gifting ceremony was over.

Others who made contributions in the Qingyuanji battle all received blessings early on.

They are now... a little panicked.

They all begged me to find a chance to talk to you about this matter, so that you don’t forget about them.”

“……” Geng Xuan really wanted to scratch his head now.

They are so cautious that they make themselves look like bullies!
"Tell them I haven't forgotten them.

Moreover, compared to other gang members, they not only have the merits accumulated during the Qingyuanji War, but also have additional merits during their trip to the north basin, which makes them feel at ease. "

Having said that, Geng Xuan wanted Hong Quan to bring Jiang Yizi and Su Mingxu from Qingyuanji next time.

However, before he could speak, Geng Xuan shut up again.

He thought of those gang members who had accepted the task of eliminating the remnants of Wuyou Palace, as well as those "temporary gang members" who had just joined. After the task was completed, they would definitely return and ask him for "rewards".

He also promised to "reward" those who excel and stand out in the project.

It is not a good idea to let Jiang Yizi and Su Mingxu perform on stage every time.

Moreover, the efficiency is low.

Thinking of this, Geng Xuan thought of some customs in the projects in his previous life.

He looked at Luo Qing and Guo Zian and said:
"I plan to build a Baidi Temple near the silted-up section. If the opportunity arises, the Baidi Dingshui Stone unearthed from the Zhushui River will be enshrined there permanently. This will be considered returning the item to its original owner."

Luo Qing looked at Guo Zian.

Guo Zian thought for a moment and asked, "Where exactly do you plan to build the Baidi Temple?"

"Just build it around the steep slope where the first mountain collapsed. You can build it wherever you think is suitable," said Geng Xuan.

"Are there any special requirements in terms of regulations?" Guo Zian asked.

Geng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "We need a venue that's large enough to hold at least a few thousand people, right?"

"We also need to build a community altar that meets the standards... plus a temple that can be used to worship the Baidi Dingshui Stone for a long time... As for the rest, you can do whatever you think is appropriate."

Geng Xuan put forward the basic requirements and was too lazy to think about the rest, so he packed up and threw them to Guo Zian.

Guo Zian looked at him speechlessly and said:
"Boss, how can this be so casual?
For a sacrificial site of this scale, the orientation, size, regulations, and even the color of the rock and soil are all very particular.

If it were during the Yuan Emperor's time, the key issue would be a half-inch error, and the person responsible would lose his head!"

Geng Xuan really wanted to say, I don’t have such strict standards here, just do whatever you want, as long as it looks like the real deal.

But he also knew that he could only think about it in his mind.

He who took the initiative to bring up this matter couldn't afford to slap himself in the face. After thinking about it, he looked at Hong Quan and said:

"When you return to Qingyuanji tomorrow, bring Jiang Yizi and Su Mingxu with you."

Then he said to Guo Zian: "You can discuss the specific regulations with them."

Having said this, he paused and said:
"I don't care how you do it, I just have one request.

On New Year’s Eve, I will officially launch it.”

Guo Zian widened his eyes and said:

“This…how is this possible!

From now on, it will only take seven days at most!"

Geng Xuan shook his head and said:

"Anyway, I'm going to use it when the time comes, so you guys can do whatever you want."

As the party A, he cannot say, "You can just fool around a bit."

Then we can only use the client’s traditional skills.

As for what kind of "magical powers" they used within these seven days, he didn't care.

……

After everyone left with heavy steps, Geng Xuan also let out a long sigh.

"It's finally quiet."

After tonight's arrangements, the dredging of the ancient Zhushui River channel is basically completed for him.

Just as he told several people, from now on, unless it is something particularly important, he will only occasionally pay attention to the overall progress and no longer ask about specific matters.

Although, the time has already passed midnight.

But Geng Xuan did not rest immediately.

He paid close attention to the harvest of "Flint Bead" today.

Since the recruitment of more than 2,000 new official gang members, a wave of "adding fuel to the fire" has occurred.

In the next few hours, the amount of residual gas captured and refined by the "Flint Bead" increased significantly compared to before.

Then, starting from this afternoon, the frequency of Baiyun's increase has also increased slightly.

This means that the "Wuyou Palace Remnant Cleanup Campaign" that was rapidly unfolding in Yuanzhou has seen a significant increase in the scope of the battle and the intensity of each battle.

This brought more gains to our side, but also more casualties.

Feeling greater pressure, our side also quickened the pace of pulling in people.

More and more "temporary gang members" who had never met each other before joined this battle that had nothing to do with them.

——There is no need to doubt the ability of the thousands of gang members who have accepted the mission, as well as the rangers such as Liu Yueji who emerged from Yueluyuan to "drag people into the water."

A hero with three gangs.

Practitioners above the Blood Refining stage have a tradition of traveling around - killing people everywhere or being chased by others and running around everywhere.

The place they rush to first must be the place where they are most confident and where they already have a certain network of relationships in the surrounding area.

There is a foundation of trust from the past, plus the subjective initiative to earn more gifts and blessings.

What's more, when they brought the news of the demise of the top leaders of Wuyou Palace, it also had the positive effect of "kicking the dog when it's down".

“342 people.

9235 points of good luck.

217 points of bad luck."

This is today's result of the "Wuyou Palace Remnant Suppression Campaign."

And Geng Xuan knew that this was just an appetizer and the real peak had not yet arrived.

Some of them are because the remnants of Wuyou Palace are hiding too deeply and need more time to find; some of them are because the journey is too far, or there are other reasons.

These objective factors will be eliminated little by little as time goes by.

More importantly, the more temporary gang members there are, the more good luck they bring, and the more bad luck they bring...

This will be a process that continues to accelerate.

……

December 24th.

early morning.

Early in the morning, thick fog enveloped the entire camp.

The camp was already extremely lively and noisy.

The tent area is a rare quiet place in the camp.

Geng Xuan didn't sleep in either and woke up early.

Today, his task is also very heavy.

He had the breakfast brought by Zha Luo in his tent.

While dining with Zha Luo, he listened to Zha Luo telling various interesting stories about the two states of Xuanyou.

After breakfast, Zhaluo was sent away.

Before leaving the tent alone, Geng Xuan stood beside the three Xuanqinghai sand sculptures for nearly a quarter of an hour.

When he left, the three arrogant Xuanqinghai sand sculptures became noticeably more friendly towards him.

Good luck consumption: 20 points.

The Flying Eagle Technique, from minor success to major success.

Although this promotion took a very short time, the foundation was extremely solid.

It’s just because it has been too long since the last time I entered the sect and achieved minor success.

Even if he did not work particularly hard on this technique during this period, he should chew over and over everything he had learned about this technique in the Minor Success Stage, digest it carefully, and absorb it completely.

After leaving the tent alone, Geng Xuan, like a ghost, did not say hello to anyone, and no one noticed his departure.

A moment later, when he appeared again, he was already standing on the shore of a huge lake twenty or thirty miles away.

It’s interesting to say that except for the time of getting started, I also used the small river behind Wanfufang.

After that, Geng Xuan mastered the three skills closely related to water, namely "Hongbo Swimming Technique", "Turtle Breathing Technique" and "Water-Separating Light Stab" to the master level, but he never seriously entered the water again.

If this happened to other practitioners, it would be really out of line.

Looking at the smoke rising from the lake, Geng Xuan's skin rippled gently.

The next moment, Geng Xuan took a deep breath and suddenly jumped up.

Soon, with a "pop" sound, his body plunged into the water and dived deep into the depths of the lake.

Above the water, except for a circle of ripples where he entered the water, there was no other trace of him.

But soon, Geng Xuan's figure emerged from another place on the shore.

After getting up from the water, Geng Xuan looked at his wet clothes, which had many cracks and chips on them.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "As expected, without actual practice, you'll never know where the real problem lies."

Just now, after entering the water and adapting a little, Geng Xuan used the speed of the master level "Hongbo Youshen Fa" to the extreme.

This body technique was born for water.

Not only can it allow practitioners to swim in the water as glidingly as a real fish, but the speed can also be as fast as a fish.

The master-level "Hongbo Swimming Technique" easily allowed Geng Xuan to reach a speed of six meters per second in the water.

And this is not the limit of what he can achieve at the moment.

But just when Geng Xuan was about to continue to increase his speed, he discovered that the clothes he was wearing limited his speed in the water.

Moreover, he discovered that if he continued to speed up, his clothes would soon be unable to bear the weight and would be torn to pieces.

So, Geng Xuan, who had just entered the water, came out again.

"We need to find two sets of water support."

Geng Xuan thought of the relevant findings from the previous operation to clear out Lvyi Garden, and decided to inquire about this matter after finishing his training.

However, he temporarily suppressed these thoughts, quickly took off his clothes, found a place to dig a hole and bury it.

Soon, a streamlined and agile figure flashed by, passing through dozens of meters of void. The moment it entered the water, there was no sound, no splashes, only a very slight ripple that slowly spread out.

This tiny ripple had just taken shape when a figure under the water slid out a hundred meters away like a fish.

Six meters per second, seven meters per second, eight meters per second...

When Geng Xuan pushed his speed to the limit and maintained this speed steadily in the giant lake, the speed was maintained between nine meters per second and ten meters per second.

"That's about 30 kilometers per hour."

In water, this speed is already exaggerated for a human.

But after confirming this, Geng Xuan felt a little disappointed.

But soon, Geng Xuan calmed down completely and devoted himself to cultivation.

Practicing in such an environment is much more effective than relying on cheats to force your way forward.

Around noon, after dragging his quilt and soaking for half a day, Geng Xuan felt extremely tired even with his endurance. He emerged from the water, put on his clothes and returned to the camp.

He has mastered these three underwater skills to the highest level.

"Water-Separated Light Thorns" was the first to reach the limit of what this skill could support.

After spending 32 points of luck and being promoted from Master to Grandmaster, there is no further advancement or advancement.

"Hongbo Swimming Technique" and "Turtle Breathing Technique" were two skills that he mastered after consuming 48 points of luck each, about an hour after entering the water.

After that, he spent several hours chewing and digesting it. Just now, he consumed 96 points of luck respectively, and both skills were perfected.

About an hour after leaving the lake, Geng Xuan returned here again.

After changing into a set of intact, clean and tidy clothes, his hungry body was replenished with enough food and Essence Pills, and his body was full of energy again.

Put your clothes on the shore and re-enter the water.

Geng Xuan first tested the maximum speed that the "Hongboyou Body Technique" of the Perfect State could provide.

After the test was over, Geng Xuan had the answer in his mind.

"Fifty kilometers per hour."

This speed is already exaggerated.

What's even more exaggerated is that the "Turtle Breathing Technique" of the Perfect Realm allows him to swim underwater for an hour or two without having to come out of the water to breathe.

The "Hongbo Swimming Body Method" of the perfect state allows his skin to show regular ripples when he moves quickly in the water, and the strength naturally forms a fish-scale pattern on the surface of his body.

This not only makes his body and water more "intimate", but also gives him excellent defensive capabilities in the water.

The real "slippery"

The "Turtle Breathing Technique" of the Perfect State opens up another breathing mode of the body.

Change lung breathing to breathing through the pores on the body surface.

So, although he seemed to have not come out of the water to breathe for a long time, his body did not feel suffocated at all.

However, Geng Xuan did not feel the slightest bit disturbed by such an exaggerated performance.

After testing the maximum swimming speed, Geng Xuan slowed down slightly.

Let your body maintain this speed and cruise naturally in the huge lake, while your mind is completely immersed elsewhere.

He once again inspired the "King's Enlightenment".

Completely immersed in a mysterious state, his body swam rapidly in the water, changing like dough.

Hands and feet, with the blessing of the "bone shrinking method" and "disguise technique" of the perfect state.

Sometimes it gets longer, sometimes it gets wider.

Sometimes the fingers are connected, and sometimes the phalanges are separated as far as possible, but the hard and tough skin connects them tightly together like webbed feet.

Not only the hands and feet are changing, but the bones, muscles, and skin throughout the body are also changing.

These changes seem to be completely random, yet they also seem to have a clear direction.

Any changes that contribute to swimming speed in the water will not only be retained, but will be further optimized.

Any changes that would interfere with the speed of swimming in the water would be immediately eliminated from the many changes.

During this process, Geng Xuan, who was completely "careless" and did not use his full strength, not only did not slow down his speed in the water, but instead increased little by little.

His body in the water became more and more weird, more and more inhuman, and his speed became faster and faster.

Over fifty kilometers per hour, reaching sixty kilometers per hour.

At this point, the speed is still increasing!

To reach this point, Geng Xuan consumed only 300 points of luck and stimulated the "Overlord's Enlightenment" three times.

At this moment, Geng Xuan didn't care about the changes outside at all.

His attention was completely focused elsewhere.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully comprehended the essence of the "Water Walking Technique". You can successfully enter the door by consuming five points of luck. ]

【whether?】

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully comprehended the essence of the "Water Movement Technique". Consuming 100 points of luck can stimulate the "Overlord's Enlightenment" and comprehend the Water Movement Technique. ]

【whether?】

Geng Xuan naturally would not reinvent the wheel.

The choice was made immediately.

As the five points of good fortune disappeared, new insights flowed into my heart like running water.

Those random attempts at change began to take hold in the body little by little.

His body naturally knows what to do to be more beneficial.

When the "Water Walking Technique" was completely stabilized at the entry-level state, his swimming speed in the water stabilized at 70 kilometers per hour.

……

After successfully mastering the water-walking technique, Geng Xuan stopped practicing.

The exhausted body slowly surfaced.

I looked at the sky above my head and it was only around four o'clock in the afternoon.

However, he did not continue to practice and take his "Water Walking Technique" to a higher level.

His body sank into the water again.

A moment later, Geng Xuan walked out of the lake on the shore where he hid his clothes.

The flowing water flowed over his body like silk. When he walked out of the water, there was no trace of moisture on his body, and his body no longer had the pale color of being soaked in water for a long time.

After quickly putting on his clothes, Geng Xuan returned to the tent.

Books were spread out in front of him one by one.

These books were given to him by Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, Xu Qiwen and Xu Ziming when he was in the city wall of Wuyou Palace.

His eyes swept over these books one by one.

The book that Tang Caizhu gave him was said to be a record of Meng Tiexin's thoughts and essays before his death. It was the first thing he noticed and put into his arms.

Then, his eyes moved to several other books.

Finally, it falls on "Five Animals: Chicken".

He reached out and took it in his hand, wanting to put it in his sleeve.

"It shouldn't be a problem if I don't practice for the time being, right?"

Geng Xuan thought so in his heart, so he put away this secret technique for the time being.

But in the end, feeling the subconscious resistance in his heart, Geng Xuan sighed.

Although, whether or not to practice this secret technique may not have much impact on reading this notebook from Meng Tiexin.

The same goes for other secret techniques, skills, and techniques.

How much of an impact does it really have if you have one more or one less subject?

But he couldn't help but wonder, what if?
What's more, the more you master one more secret technique and practice one more skill, your foundation will always be deeper and your horizons will always be broader.

Maybe a seemingly insignificant skill could bring his condition to a critical point?

So, if you can accumulate more, why not do it?

Thinking this in his mind, Geng Xuan stood up and walked out of the tent.

He found Luo Qing and asked, "Have the mushroom-flavored chickens and 100-day chickens I brought with me when I went north been delivered to the basin?" (End of this chapter)
