Chapter 297: Construction of the Great Construction

One million and one hundred thousand, shrunk to one-tenth, Xu Ning hugged the box and walked out, while greeting the ancestor of this dog oil beard master, glanced back at the three strong men, and found that they were looking at themselves with mocking eyes, especially the master, who was even more proud, laughing the most in front of the three people!

These bastards, I don't know how many bounty hunters who have traded their lives for money have been pitted!

Laugh, laugh, there will be a time for you to cry!

The corners of Xu Ning's mouth also hooked up a smile, sneering!

Even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't lose his mind, and he was stupid enough to do it here. If it was someone from the big family of Qingfeng City, these guys would wag their tails like dogs, but their position in the Xu family was not very strong, and even if they really showed their identities, there was no guarantee that these people would not fall into the ground.

Xu Ning swallowed his anger and strode out of the Qingfeng City Mansion.

This matter can be put aside for a few days, and now, he has more important things to do.

The location of Qingfeng City on the map is very similar to a swaggering unicorn, the unicorn mountain range in the west of the city is like a cloud surrounding the unicorn, long and endless, and the place where Lan Ruyu and the others live is on the tail of the unicorn. Expand outward, and it will be a cemetery one by one.

Xu Ning lives in the family and rarely goes out, and he never knew that there was such a storage zΓ i near Qingfeng City before. That kind of dilapidated Cheng dΓΉ is simply shocking, and what I didn't expect is that there are at least 100,000 people living there!

The identities of these people are complicated, and some of them are wounded soldiers who have no one to take care of them after they were wounded in the Empire's conquests. Some are homeless wanderers due to natural and man-made disasters, some are bounty hunters who can only survive because of damage to their martial arts, and more are homeless orphans!

Now that I think about it, this slum is simply a paradise for discarding your own children!

As soon as Xu Ning thought of this, his mood was very heavy. What kind of parents would give up their children, such people simply don't deserve to live!

Now, it's time to change that.

Along the dirty road, I found the location of the old man in the coffin, around the open-air noodle shop. It can be seen at a glance during the day. In the distance, piles of wood lay piles of wood. There were also some half-finished coffins, and the old man had a short axe in his hand and was chopping firewood.

"Coffin grandpa!"

Xu Ning took two steps and threw the heavy box onto the ceiling of a coffin. Wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Oh. You're back?! The coffin old man asked a little surprised.

"Why do you think I'm going to fly away if I get the bounty, right?" Xu Ning smiled.

"This. Hehe, the old man is ashamed! It seems that he is a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! ”

Xu Ning waved his hand and didn't care, and reached out to take out a map from behind his back.

It was a map of Breeze City that I had bought on the street. It's not very accurate, but it's barely usable. If you want a more accurate map, you have to go to some of the big auction houses, and the grocery stores are crudely sketched with inferior paint, and many places are not marked.

Xu Ning pointed with his hand and said, "The place where we are now is actually the northern part of Qingfeng City, and the outer city extends to the outer city wall, right?" ”

"Yes, why do you ask this?"

Xu Ning smiled and asked again, "What's going on with a big road shown on this map?" ”

The old man in the coffin put down the short axe in his hand and carefully studied the crooked map.

"This road has disappeared, and originally, it led to the cemetery outside the city."

"Oh?"

"Originally, where we are now, it was a wilderness, full of mud and smelly ditches, and then some poor people settled here, first to build some simple houses along the road, and then more and more people became a piece of land."

"Then the road to the cemetery is gone, won't those big families and magnates in the city be angry?"

"Boy, it seems that you still don't know something!" Grandpa Coffin sighed and said, "The cemeteries of the real big families and powerful people outside the city are actually well-dressed mounds. All those who practice martial arts will either sit and ascend after death, or their families will use secret medicine to preserve their bodies and hide them in the tombs they have built. Only those corpses whose bodies have been severely damaged and cannot be preserved will be buried outside, and there are too few such corpses. Besides, there are ancestral halls among the big families and the powerful, and the most solemn sacrifices are held in the ancestral halls? ”

"And the cemetery outside the city ......?"

"It's just a formality! Most of the people who are really buried outside are poor people who can't even afford a coffin. ”

Xu Ning felt that his heart suddenly became heavy, and he couldn't help but think of his mother!

And he doesn't know these things, there is indeed a reason, his mother's special status has always been jealous and persecuted by the people in the family, and she is not allowed to enter the family's holy throne after death! Instead, he was buried alone with his father's mound on the slopes of the Kirin Mountains.

Thinking about it this way, the coffin old man's words make sense, and the Xu family also has an ancestral hall, but Xu Ning has never been allowed to enter.

Xu Ning hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and if he thought about it any longer, he was afraid that he would cry sadly.

"Uncle coffin, since this is the case, I have another plan, and I ask you to give me advice." Xu Ning said slowly.

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Xu Ning drew a line along the disappeared road with his fingers, and said: "These two sides were originally wilderness, but now there are too many people, but the extremely dilapidated conditions are too poor, the adults may be okay to say, and those children ......"

"Are you going to?" The old man in the coffin looked at the box containing the gold coins on the ground, and the expression on his face was very surprised.

"Yes, I plan to use the bounty of the Five Ghosts of Zhongzhou to build houses along this road and provide everyone with some shelter from the wind and rain!" Xu Ning said with a slight smile.

"Ahh Are you really willing to do this?! The coffin old man said with a little excitement on his face.

Xu Ning went to collect the bounty and could come back, which already made him feel incredible! Isn't this teenager interested in money at all? No, people die for money, birds die for food, are there still people in the world who don't like money?!

Xu Ning felt that the old man in the coffin had a funny expression, and asked, "Grandpa Coffin, don't look at me like this, okay?" Could it be that my mention has offended you? ”

"No, no! The old decay is a little excited, which makes you smile. ”

The old man in the coffin straightened up and sighed, and looked back at the low, dilapidated and dirty shack in the distance, the rising smoke and the choking stench, compared to the bright lights of Qingfeng City, it was the difference between hell and heaven!

And the two are so close!

"If your plan is to be executed, I'm afraid there won't be much left of a million gold coins."

"Money is something outside of my body, and I don't care." Xu Ning smiled slightly and said, "As long as you use it in the right way, money can play a real role." ”

The old man in the coffin glanced at Xu Ning, and there was a trace of the same look in his eyes.

This young man with a determined expression seems to be planning something bigger!

This is indeed the case, Xu Ning is indeed thinking about another thing in his heart at the moment, something that is enough to shock Qingfeng City!

This must be done, and it is of great significance to rebuild the ruins in front of you!

"Coffin grandpa, I still need your help in this matter!"

"What did you say! This is a great thing, and it is incumbent on you to do it! ”

One old and one young, looking at each other and smiling.

Xu Ning guessed correctly, it was the right choice to find the old man in the coffin by himself.

Although so far, he didn't know the true identity of this old man, but he quickly appreciated the power of his extensive connections! In less than the afternoon, a large number of carpenters and plasterers in the city were summoned, and when the people who lived here were very happy when they learned that someone was going to build them houses, they came out to help.

Of course, there is one point, even the old man in the coffin does not understand, why Xu Ning must insist on keeping the original road, the houses and buildings are all built along the road, and the design is in good order, not only there are many large courtyards, but also some wine shops, tea shops, pharmacies and schools.

"Xu Ning, the cost of these pavilions and pavilions is very high, why don't you build some houses that can live in people, and the money you save can also be exchanged for some food."

The rest was empty, and the coffin old man raised his own questions.

"Coffin grandpa, the reason why this place has been dilapidated for a long time is not that people have no ability to work, but that they lack the means to make money. If you just build some buildings to protect from the wind and rain, they will slowly fall into disrepair, and people will still live in poverty. If you keep this big road, there will inevitably be people walking, and as long as someone comes, there will be business to do! In this way, all people can support themselves without having to rely on charity. ”

Xu Ning said his plan unabashedly, and the old man in the coffin looked surprised! After a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

"It seems that I am really old, and I have tried my best for so many years, although no one has been starved to death, but the pigs and dogs who live are not as good! Or do you have a good idea, if you can earn money with your hands, who would want to beg? ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, I have heard a lot of things in the past two days, and you and Miss Ruyu have sacrificed a lot to save the people here. Now, I'm just having the opportunity to offer a one-and-done approach. Xu Ning said with a slight smile.

Lan Ruyu had been busy taking care of the group of orphans, and just cast a grateful glance at Xu Ning from afar.

Xu Ning didn't see it, because he had to hurry up and prepare for another thing.

The faster you build, the faster the gold in the chests will be consumed, and it's time to get your money back.

With a slight smile, Xu Ning made an excuse and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
