CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 315: RESTORING ORDER AMIDST DEVASTATION

The order was hurriedly delivered to the Gulan Military Camp, already four days later.

By now, Tang Zan had the Gulan Military Camp in perfect order.

The bodies had been buried, the damaged areas repaired, and even the bloodstains on the ground had been washed time and time again.

Shu’er also spread lime with others, eliminating the possibility of disease spread.

Now, in the Gulan Military Camp, the burned tents had been cleared away, leaving a large empty space.

Seeing such a large space, Shu’er couldn’t help but think of the multi-story dormitories of modern times.

If they were really built, the living conditions of the Gulan Soldiers would be much better than before.

However, right now, Tang Zan is not the one in charge of the Gulan Military Camp, and Shu’er didn’t bother to do anything extra.

Just in time, the Emperor’s edict arrived at the Gulan Military Camp.

Everyone gathered to find Tang Zan, and Tang Zan received the edict, showing just the right amount of joy and gratitude on his face.

"I thank the Holy Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live and prosper."

The eunuch delivering the edict received his reward and smiled his thanks.

"General Tang, you must work hard. A tiger father has no dog son; your father is the War God, and I believe you are no worse."

With this edict, those who were initially unwilling to accept Tang Zan as the Deputy General felt even more bitter.

Tang Zan had only been in the camp for a short while and had just become acting Deputy General, and now he is a legitimate Great General.

Isn’t it just because he has a War God father?

Reliance on his father’s name, what kind of hero is that?

At this moment, because he is so young, in the eyes of others, Tang Zan is merely the son of the War God, not Tang Zan himself.

After receiving the edict, Tang Zan arranged matters in the camp and then went to find Shu’er.

At that moment, she was treating people in the wounded soldier camp with Lin Shiyao when Tang Zan approached and embraced Shu’er.

Lin Shiyao’s eyes flashed with surprise, then turned to loneliness.

Tang Zan said, "Shu’er, I’ve become a General."

His tone carried both joy and a trace of melancholy.

Sincerely happy for Tang Zan, Shu’er knew that with Tang Zan as a General, the Tang Family’s days would be much better.

It could be said that at the Gulan Border, apart from the Dazi, no one else could provoke Tang Zan anymore.

Tang Zan lifted Shu’er up and walked toward the tents; it was already dark now and time to rest.

Watching the two leave, Lin Shiyao’s eyes flashed with calculation.

She always thought Tang Zan was impressive; who knew he would become a General so soon.

Moreover, she just remembered in recent days who Tang Zan really was.

In her past life, she had seen from afar that Regent King, who held sway over the court, but he was always cloaked in dark clothes.

She could only see from afar how handsome that face was; she had once looked from a distance.

Only at that time, he was crippled, completely different from the present him.

At that time, he was gloomy and irascible, difficult for ordinary people to approach.

But now, even if his presence was intimidating, he was not as terrifying, and he delighted in being close to Shu’er the most.

When facing others, he still projected an unapproachable demeanor.

Such a person, who holds sway over the court, would be best handled early on.

With this thought, Lin Shiyao crafted a series of plans in her mind.

Due to previous events, Lin Shiyao knew she couldn’t make her intentions too obvious, or she’d be driven out of the camp.

Shu’er was carried by Tang Zan into the camp, his eyes full of delight, and he kissed Shu’er several times.

Feeling as though his little woman was so tender and soft, he couldn’t stop.

He personally wrote an edict, pardoning Shu’er’s exile, allowing her to return at any time if she wished.

This was the reward for building the ship; after discussing it with all commanders, everyone had no objections, which led to the decision.

Shu’er planted a kiss on Tang Zan’s cheek.

She smiled and said, "If there’s a chance, I want to go back and see my family."

Regarding the family of the original character, the original memories were very clear, and Shu’er, influenced by those memories, truly regarded them as family.

If she could survive the death juncture, she would go and see them.

Now, with the camp in a state of need, and the weather not particularly good, not much could be done.

Shu’er said, "Tang Zan, do you want to transform the Gulan Military Camp? This will be your base of operations in the future."

Tang Zan was keenly aware that the Emperor was very wary of him, most likely only allowing him to stay at the Gulan Military Camp, and other places or powers were impossible for him to have.

Tang Zan nodded, his hand rubbing Shu’er’s earlobe, making it bright red, and then he sucked on it, his magnetic voice and warm breath flowing into her ear.

"What idea do you have now?"

Shu’er pushed away Tang Zan’s big head, adjusted her collar, making the atmosphere serious.

"First of all, the tent area that was burned down can be used to construct a building during this time."

Tang Zan shook his head: "If it’s too high, then the load-bearing hasn’t been solved."

Shu’er smiled and said, "We can use steel to solve that; we’ll be able to forge steel then, and it’ll be fine."

Shu’er took out a small piece of metal.

"This is a metal I created while building the ship, it’s very hard, suitable for load-bearing, and won’t rust."

Tang Zan nodded: "Then I’ll leave it to you."

Shu’er smiled and said, "You trust me so much?"

Tang Zan nodded, and Shu’er kissed him again on the face.

Her big villain is really nice.

"We need to get the house built quickly so the soldiers have somewhere to go, instead of staying in tents all the time."

Actually, the Gulan Military Camp wasn’t small; on the contrary, it was quite large, but all these tents already occupied a huge area.

The raw materials had to be resolved first; Shu’er first led the group into the mountains to dig clay, then placed it in the cement kiln on a deserted mountain for firing.

There were also bricks, manufactured on the deserted mountain; of course, on the open ground in the Gulan Military Camp, a brick kiln was also set up to fire bricks and tiles, making everything faster and more efficient.

After all, to build buildings, the demand for bricks was greatest.

Meanwhile, Shu’er also led the group into the Gulan Mountain Range to find iron ore, which would be used to forge steel later.

Once, a family from the deserted mountain discovered iron ore and handed over the stone to her.

She had taken a group to check out the metal, discovering it in the back mountain of the mountain.

Because they brought many people, and the hoes provided by Shu’er were modern and much harder.

Iron ore is much harder than coal, so digging it up was not particularly easy.

But since they didn’t have any bomb materials, they just had to grit their teeth and keep digging.
