After all, now that the "big city construction plan" is in full swing, if the source of building materials is contained, then the big city construction plan will stagnate, not to mention, the various expenses incurred every day because of the shutdown are also astronomical. Not to mention affecting a quarter, it is affecting ten days and half a month, and many construction contractors cannot afford this additional cost.

Once this panic spreads in the construction industry, it will inevitably lead to the early rupture of the capital chain and the sluggish prospects of the industry, which was already in full swing. Once such a virtuous cycle is terminated, the price to pay if you want to restart it again is not a matter of tens of trillions.

Foreseeing this, the top of the Federation adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards the beast plague of the Thick Earth State. After a large number of armed personnel were dispatched to suppress the mine, the production capacity of each important mine was effectively guaranteed. But it's not enough to secure large mines, and if small mines are forced to close, the federal cost of construction will immediately increase. After all, today's building materials market is already in short supply, if the supply gap is increasing, then there will be more room for hoarders to operate.

Although the Federation has severely punished some malicious price hikers, after all, there are people who do the business of killing heads, and now that supply and demand are tight, they naturally want to make a fuss about it. Although it is no longer possible to increase the price indefinitely under heavy fines, a 10% increase in price and a 20% increase in price are likely to be the difference between life and death for today's federal situation.

These small and medium-sized mines are protected by the federal government in terms of policy. Unfortunately, since these places are not as convenient as large mining areas, heavy mechanized troops cannot pull them up. The few Awakened troops will go to some of the mega mining areas to serve as Sharp Knife troops to ensure the absolute safety of these places.

Therefore, under the joint decision of the federal high-level, the garrison tasks of these small and medium-sized mines were all assigned to the Federal Awakening Committee. After sprinkling a large amount of awakening potions, the responsibility for the protection of these small and medium-sized mining areas was all pressed on the heads of the various martial arts halls of the Federation.

When the massive garrison missions released by the Awakening Committee were swiped on the Awakened app, the martial arts halls of the entire Federation were boiling! This was not only because their task list was about to burst, but also because the rewards for each garrison mission in the task list were extremely attractive. It's like a local tyrant dumping a mountain of gold on the road, and how much you can pick up depends on your personal ability.

The various federation martial arts halls that were stimulated by this golden mountain, whether they were powerful martial arts halls or martial arts halls that usually had little to gain because of the scarcity of tasks, were all actively mobilized. After such a long period of cultivation, everyone knows how important the awakening potion is to the improvement of their strength, so in order to be able to further expand the influence of their martial arts halls, these martial arts halls have parted their heads to their trouser belts, and directly chose the type of task that their own martial arts halls can undertake.

However, how could the many small martial arts halls of the Federation be the opponents of which big martial arts halls, under the screening of the difficulty of the mission, they quickly became marginal characters again. In order to survive, and because of the temptation of heavy profits, many small martial arts halls temporarily united, and also formed a force to be reckoned with. As a result, these small and medium-sized mining areas with inconvenient transportation have finally stabilized.

......

Because the reward is indeed quite generous, Lu Cheng'an, the head of the Batian Martial Arts Pavilion, also led a team to a medium-sized mining area to garrison after asking Cangchi for instructions. At first, because the beasts that came were very ordinary, the students could still bear it. But as the winter prolonged, more beasts rushed out to find food, and the students of the Deception Martial Arts Hall and Lu Chengan were a little overwhelmed.

In the latest defensive battle, Feng Bao, the tenth outstanding student of the martial arts hall, was unfortunately seriously injured because he rushed in the process of driving away an alienated deer. If it weren't for Lu Chengan's desperate protection at that time, Feng Bao might have died on the spot. Because he was too desperate in the rescue process, Lu Chengan was also injured. When one of the elite students of the first echelon was seriously injured, the rest of them were also injured, and the backbone of the leader was seriously injured, the atmosphere of the entire Batian Martial Arts Hall also fell into a downturn.

There was no way, and Lu Chengan could only ask Cangchi for instructions to see if he could send his son Lu Zhijie over to lead the town guard work here. However, the reply Lu Cheng'an received was the good news that Cangchi was going to come over in person! All of a sudden, all the martial arts hall students who were in charge of guarding the mining area were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Because the matter here in Shapu City has been almost dealt with, and Lu Zhijie is busy with the new Batian Martial Arts Hall in Shapu City, Cangchi, who is idle, decided to go in person. In addition to testing the strength of the people in the martial arts hall, you can also test whether you have slackened in your recent cultivation and how the mutation of the alienated beast is.

After Cangchi handed over the follow-up matters of Shapu City to Lu Zhou, Dong Haozheng, and Qian Hongjie, he went directly to the mine in Xuanwu Bangguo. At the end of the motorcycle, when I drove to the mining area in the mountains and forests, Cangchi found many barren small mountain villages along the way. Most of these small mountain villages are covered in a layer of snow, but they are not desolate. The doors and windows in the village are very complete, and the furnishings in the house are also normal, and there is no dust accumulation on them. It can be seen that these villages are newly abandoned.

Cangchi thought of a large town near here and many new residential buildings, so it can be seen that all the mountain people near this small mountain town should have been relocated to the small town. It can be seen from this that in the mountainous areas of this Xuanwu Kingdom, the beast disaster is much more serious than imagined! Although it has not yet reached the level of threatening the mountain city, living in a small mountain village between the mountains and forests should have completely lost its sense of security.

If the situation develops too seriously in the future, it is possible that even the small town outside the mountain will have to be relocated. The best way out should be to go to the Thick Earth State, and if you have a way, you can move to a big city protected by a walled city. This is not only an existential crisis for these mountain people, but also a huge business opportunity for Cangchi.

Now that the new urban area of Shapu City has actually been more than half developed, it is only a matter of time before the remaining space is filled. Then these immigrants from the Xuanwu Kingdom who later moved to the Houtu State were going to other cities after all, and because they deeply realized the terrible nature of the beast disaster, they would give priority to which cities were protected by the city walls.

Thinking of this, Cangchi felt that after waiting for the city wall of Shapu City to be almost established, he could go to the Houtu State to choose a few better cities to continue to build the city wall. In this way, the expanded Lihe Group will not have nothing to do, and even further form a city cluster with Shapu City as the core. When the time comes, with this truly safe rear, the branches of the Deceptive Martial Arts Hall will blossom and bear fruit everywhere, and the power to guard Tianlin City will appear even stronger!

Moreover, the boundaries of Tianlin City are not consumables for nothing, and the grain abundant in the Qinglong State is a survival resource that the Houtu State is in urgent need. At that time, once the connection between the Houtu State and the Qinglong State is completely opened, the two will definitely be able to use each other's horns and establish an extremely stable symbiotic business entity!

After Cangchi thought of this idea, he directly sent it to President Lu Zhou through a text message. When Lu Zhou saw this grand plan conceived by Cang Chi, he simply felt like he was bowing and worshiping! Originally, after making a name for himself in Shapu City, Lu Zhou would already have a feeling of complacency. But now it seems that compared to Cangchi, his own realm is really very different!

At this time, Lu Zhou really realized: It turns out that Cangchi is the kind of ambitious overlord with lofty ambitions! For being able to fight the world with such a person, Lu Zhou feels excited just thinking about it!

Cang Chi didn't need to understand Lu Zhou's secret admiration, after he casually wandered around a deserted small mountain village, he directly accelerated to the mine guarded by the Deception Martial Arts Pavilion. When Cangchi rushed to the medium-sized mine, he found that the mine had been heavily guarded. Each residential area has a living area enclosed according to militarized standards. When Cangchi's motorcycle roared outside, an iron plate on the top of the compound guard room was opened, and then, a wide and fat cheek poked out from inside, it was Wei Linwei, a strong man with pork belly.

"Brothers, the support force of the head of the sect has arrived!" Wei Linwei immediately retracted his head after seeing Cangchi, and roared excitedly in the room.

"Really, is it so fast? How many people are coming?"

"Hurry up, open the door!"

"We can finally be ashamed!"

"Hehe, hey, next time we're going to eat that hateful bandit deer raw!"

When all the students saw that their main backbone was coming, their blood immediately boiled, and they couldn't wait to follow Cangchi behind him to defeat the alienated deer now!

As Cangchi's motorcycle slowly approached the small courtyard, the iron gate of the small courtyard was also opened at the same time, and a large group of haggard-looking, but extremely excited young martial arts students rushed out from inside. After Cang Chi parked the motorcycle on the side of the road at random, he took off his helmet and wanted to see the specific casualties of these students.
