203. Rebuilding the Territory
After Mo Yu and the others entered the City Lord's Mansion, they were also taken aback by the environment inside, the City Lord's Mansion was almost empty, even the candlesticks fixed on the lamp base were also looted, and they were even cleaner than where the robbers had passed.
"Lord Earl, after the death of the previous city lord in the last beast tide, those imperial soldiers swept away this place before leaving. Root said.
"Lord Earl, I can inform the inhabitants to renovate the city for you, and I am sure that all of them will be willing to do it. Rout continued,
Mo Yu nodded, he didn't have time to pursue these things, and said to the team members on the side, "No need." Mondstadt, you'll be able to fortify this place with earth magic. ”
"Boss, okay. ”
Mondstadt nodded, he was the only earth-attribute mage on the team, and his talent was not bad, he already had the strength of the emperor rank, as long as he was given a few days, it would not be a problem to rebuild a city lord's mansion.
After hearing Mo Yu's words, Lut was instantly stunned in place, and it was too extravagant to use a magician to repair the City Lord's Mansion.
"Leslie, you're in charge of improving the environment here. Mo Yu smiled.
Leslie nodded, the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was arid and waterless, and there was no grass, and it was extremely uncomfortable to live in such an environment.
"Gore, you go with Rult and deliver rations to the door of those residents who have difficulty moving and have not received rations. Mo Yu commanded.
"Understood. "Goldau.
Root didn't expect the earl to be concerned about such a trivial matter, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Lotte for those residents with limited mobility, the great kindness of Lord Count Xie. ”
After Lu finished speaking, he knelt down to Mo Yu, but before his knees touched the ground, a pair of white hands helped him up.
"Since they are all my people, shouldn't they take care of their lives?" Mo Yu smiled.
Root didn't know what to say, the young earl in front of him was completely different from other nobles, and he didn't care about the life and death of those commoners.
"Mr. Root, I want to hire you as the administrator of Sorani City, are you willing?" Mo Yu sent an invitation to Lute, and he could see from just now that the old man in front of him seemed to have some prestige in Sorani City.
"Lord Earl Xie is very kind, if the adults don't dislike it, the villain is willing to do his best for the adults for free. Rout said gratefully.
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Of course I won't let Mr. Rutt work for me for free, how about a hundred gold coins a month?"
"So much?"
Lut muttered to himself, he didn't expect Mo Yu to offer such a high salary, under normal circumstances, fifty gold coins is enough for a family's rich life for a month or two.
"Mr. Root, I'll trouble you in the future. Mo Yu smiled.
"The villain doesn't dare, it's my honor to serve the Earl. Rutte said respectfully.
"Mr. Narut, lead the way for Gore first, and then inform the inhabitants of Sorani City to meet again tomorrow morning. Mo Yu commanded.
The villain retired. Lute nodded, and walked out the door with Gore.
"Let's do it, let's clean it up. Mo Yu smiled.
Everyone nodded, and began to tidy up the City Lord's Mansion, this City Lord's Mansion is too dirty and messy, and if you don't tidy it up properly, you can't move in at all.
......
The autumn sun is as clear as crystal, the water is bright and flowing between the heavens and the earth, flowing in the clear veins of various yellow and red leaves, and the originally lifeless city of Sorani seems to have regained a lot of vitality.
On the square of Solani City, the autumn breeze is bleak!
The next day, in the early morning, the square of Sorani City had already gathered all the residents of the city, their pale and terrifying faces had recovered some blood, waiting for the arrival of Mo Yu and his party.
After about a quarter of an hour, Mo Yu finally stepped onto the stage slowly under the sun.
Mo Yu's face is as perfect as a marble statue under the sunlight, and the smile on his face is just like the sun in early summer, which makes people fascinated.
The moment Mo stood on the stage, the noise below instantly fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Sorani City, since I am fortunate enough to be the lord here, I will definitely make Sorani City prosperous, let everyone live a happy life, and make this a city no less than the capital of the Yakaya Emperor. Mo Yu said loudly.
No one in the residents of Sorani City spoke, the atmosphere was silent and terrible, this kind of promise, no one would take it seriously, with the environment of Sorani City, it would be good to be able to eat enough, and it would be a city no less than the capital of Yakaya, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream.
"I know you don't believe me right now, but time will tell. ”
Mo Yu looked at the residents in the audience, but he didn't mind, after all, any politician would say such a nice thing.
"I'm going to renovate all the houses in Sorani City, and I don't know what you think. Mo Yu smiled.
"Of course, we don't have a problem with repairing the house, but we don't have the money!" said one resident.
The inhabitants of Sorani City all had bitter faces, who would want to live in such ruins, but they could not even afford to buy food, and how could they have the money to repair their houses.
"Don't worry, I am responsible for the cost of repairing the house, and you will pay for the labor, of course, this labor is not paid in vain, and those who participate in the repair of the house can also receive a salary. Mo Yu smiled.
"Is this count crazy, isn't it?
This question instantly sounded in the center of the inhabitants of Sorani City, and the cost of repairing the city's houses was many times higher than the cost of rations.
"If you don't have any opinions, the plan will start in three days. Mo Yu said.
"Of course we don't have a problem, can we really get a salary?" asked a resident.
Mo Yu funded the repair of the house for them, not to mention that they had a salary, even if they didn't, they would participate in it without reservation, after all, it was always them who benefited in the end.
Mo Yu nodded, revealing a reassuring smile.
......
Back in the City Lord's Mansion, Mo Yu and everyone sat in it, this dilapidated City Lord's Mansion was completely new after their repairs, and all functions had returned to normal.
"President, in addition to rebuilding Sorani City, we also have to consider how to get the residents of the city out of their current predicament, so that the whole predicament can be changed and their spirits can be refreshed. Karen said.
When Mo Yu heard this, he also nodded, although he could buy a large amount of food from outside, but it was pointless to do that, it was better to teach people to fish, it was better to teach people to fish, and that was the only way.
"Mr. Root, is there any place in Sorani City where we can increase the income of the residents. Mo Yu looked at Lut, as a local resident, he should know Sorani City very well.
"Lord Earl, in fact, Sorani City also has more than hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land, although it is not fertile land, but if it can be cultivated, the residents of Sorani City will have no problem maintaining food and clothing. Rout replied.
"Then why don't the residents plant?" Mo Yu asked.
"Lord Earl, it's not that we don't want to plant, but those fields are outside the city of Sorani, close to the border of the Orc Empire, and every harvest season, a large number of orcs will come to loot and destroy, and then they can't even afford to buy food seeds, so that the fields are abandoned. ”
Root smiled bitterly, the land of the Orc Empire is poor, it is not suitable for growing food, it never gathers grass and valleys to accumulate food, and many people will starve to death every winter, although Sorani City is not able to eat at once, but at least it can sustain life, and Sorani City, which lacks protection, just becomes the object of the Orcs' unscrupulous robbery.
"Can you only keep food and clothing?" Mo Yu nodded and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"By the way, there are still a few ore veins, but those few mines are in the Death Jungle, which have been abandoned for more than twenty years, and the monsters are rampant, and it is too dangerous to excavate. ”
Root pondered for a moment before remembering that there were several valuable ore veins, and the previous lord of Sorani City had also hit the ore veins, but unfortunately, after spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the return was far less than the loss of personnel and material resources, and he had to give up those ore veins.
"Lord Earl, let's give up those veins. Rutter persuaded.
Mo Yu only smiled lightly when he heard Lut's words, he didn't give up the idea of some mineral veins from the forest, after all, those mineral veins would be an important source of economic resources for Sorani City in the future, how could he give up so easily.
In addition to the ore in the forest, those herbs, potions, blood and fur of demonic beasts, etc., as long as they are processed, they are also best-selling products in various countries.
"Vaughn, Gore, start tomorrow with half of your team to hunt in the Death Jungle, and find out where those veins are. Mo Yu said.
"Boss, understood. Vone nodded.
"Brother Volne, you must take me with you when you hunt. "Gram couldn't sit still for a long time, and he would rather venture into the jungle of death than stay in the city bored.
Graham scratched his scalp, seemingly uneasy, afraid that Volne would not accede to his request.
"Gramm, you're going to have a lot to hunt for tomorrow. Laughing.
"Brother Xie Fuen. ”
The others also laughed, no one would compete with Gram for that hunting spot, after all, not everyone is a masochist, many people are still willing to take a leisurely time.
"Karen, you go to a nearby city to buy a batch of materials or tools to repair the house. ”
"Sarah, you're going to start treating the city's residents for free tomorrow. ”
"Byron, you ....... ”
Mo Yu began to assign tasks, and with the current situation of Sorani City, there were so many things to deal with that he felt a little too busy.
......
