The turmoil over the assassination of Taishoufu gradually subsided, and Jiangning City, Jiangning County, returned to its former prosperous scene. Fang Jue did not relax, he began to train soldiers while developing some new combat materials. On the other hand, Fang Jue asked Qian Kai to continue to unite the major commercial forces of the dynasty, and asked Bai Qi to set up countless news outlets in various states and counties.

Fang Yan followed Fang Jue's suggestion and began to accept refugees from outside Jiangning County, not only distributing food, but also allocating some unclaimed land to the refugees, not only making the refugees proud, but also allowing Jiangning County to get more people. The common people are as cheap as ants in this era, but in the same way, the number of people is also the foundation to ensure Jiangning County.

It's still a bit cold today, but it's much better than the previous days. Yesterday, Fang Jue said casually that he likes to eat fish made by Li'er. This is not only an affirmation of Li'er, but also makes Li'er feel that she has something to do.

Li'er's identity is different from Fangfu's other maids, so except for Fang Jue, no one dares to send her a task, although Li'er is at ease, but this is suddenly not busy, Fang Jue is often not at home, but she is a little idle and panicked.

Li'er, there is nothing to do, Xiao Ruoxi has Bian Xiaoshuang and Qian Shuwan occupying, and even Bian Xiaoyu seems to be a little close, and Li'er naturally will not stink and live.

Li'er was about to go to the street to personally pick a big fish and come back and cook a dish for Fang Jue, she hadn't visited Jiangning City for a long time, and Li'er still seemed a little excited in her heart. Li'er is low-key, unlike Juan'er next to the second lady, she has to bring a few maids with her when she goes out, and she has to be guarded by two family guards.

Jiangning City is still so lively, and Li'er's eyes scan everything around her, it is so beautiful. Since Fang Jue handed over some of her personal property to Li'er, Li'er has become a rich person, but she rarely buys things for herself.

Fang Jue is discussing the matter of the shopping mall with Qian Kai in Baibaolou at the moment. Liu Yuning was not interested in this, so she had already followed her master Qin Hongyan to the back building, Xiao Yuyan saw Qin Hongyan and began to express something, but Liu Yuning stepped forward to hug Xiao Yuning, Xiao Yuyan took a serious look at Liu Yuning, and actually looked at Liu Yuning quietly.

"Today, many refugees are pouring into Jiangning City, and although some of them are resettled, it is still a bit tricky."

Qian Kai was a little puzzled by Fang Jue's thoughts, because Fang Jue not only took in the refugees, but also distributed land to the refugees, which is a loss-making business no matter how you look at it.

"What about the others, would they like to?"

Fang Jue asked Qian Kai to raise money from some big businessmen, and then bought some abandoned land in Jiangning County. Fang Jue thought too far ahead, and he couldn't even understand how to open the money, how could those rich businessmen be willing to waste their money.

"Ugh..."

Qian Kai just shook his head, how can people who can accumulate a lot of wealth be mentally retarded and have no sweetness, where are they willing.

Where there are people, there is money to be made, this obvious truth is understood, but unfortunately this is a turbulent time, and the risks are too great.

Fang Jue told Qian Kai his plan again, and Qian Kai listened very meaningfully.

"What, you're going to build a city!"

Qian Kai was also surprised by Fang Jue's idea, this is not a simple matter to build a city.

However, Qian Kai finally understood the doorway inside, if a city is built, a large number of people need to settle in, and now countless refugees are not just right. And when building a city, countless commercial areas and industrial production areas will also be built inside, and the control of those places is in Fang Jue's hands, as if he has mastered countless cornucopias.

And the place where Fang Jue chose the site is not far from Jiangning City, which is a sparsely populated place, although Fang Jue put forward the idea, but the construction of the city, it is a big project, and Fang Jue has to think slowly about the specific matters.

Before leaving, Qian Kai also casually said some reports from the business community. However, there was one thing that made Fang Jue a little vigilant.

"You just said that the fire oil in the city is more popular?"

"Yes, this is a report from the merchants in Jiangning City, and it's also strange..."

"Do you know where all this oil goes?"

"I've checked this, and it's all small households that buy in small quantities, but the number of people who have recently bought is on the high side."

In this dynasty, oil can be bought and sold, but if it is purchased in large quantities, it must be registered, but if it is purchased in small quantities, there is not much safety risk, so it is not necessary to register for the record.

"You go and check again, what are these kerosene used for?"

Fang Jue always felt a little uneasy.

After Fang Jue finished explaining, he also walked towards the back building, he saw Qin Hongyan and Liu Yuning teasing Xiao Yuyan, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

In Jiangning City, in a courtyard, a young girl is kneeling in front of a simple mourning hall, and there are two tablets in the mourning hall. One piece is written with the spiritual seat of Yue Biqun, the thirty-eighth generation head of the Huashan faction, and the other is written with the spiritual seat of the name of the thirty-ninth generation disciple of the Huashan faction.

"Father, Brother Zhang, you have spirits in the sky, bless me to be able to avenge you with my own hands this time."

The girl was wearing filial piety clothes, and the two lines of tears on her white and delicate face were even more pitiful. She is the daughter of Yue Biqun, the head of the Huashan faction, named Yue Xiaomiao.

"Head, what should I do if my subordinates catch a Fang Mansion maid."

A disciple of the Huashan faction respectfully reported to Yue Xiaomiao, since the news of the death of Yue Biqun and Mingzhang reached the Huashan faction, although Yue Xiaomiao was grief-stricken, she also quickly cheered up, although her martial arts were not the best in the Huashan faction, but the more powerful ones all followed Yue Biqun to die in Jiangning County, and the rest except for an elder-level figure, the other disciples' martial arts were very average. Although Yue Xiaomiao's martial arts are not very good, her mind is smarter than ordinary people, and she soon inherited the position of the head of the Huashan faction.

Catching a maid was a trivial matter, but in Yue Xiaomiao's eyes, this was the hope of breaking through the indestructible Fang family.

Li'er was tied up by the disciples of the Huashan faction and caught Yue Xiaomiao. Li'er used to follow Fang Jue's side, and she knew some words, the name on the tablet, Li'er had also heard Xiao Yue Fan Ba mention it when she was in Fang's mansion, so she naturally knew that Yue Biqun was killed by her own young master Fang Jue. And the girl in front of her, who was about the same age as herself, was wearing filial piety clothes, and she guessed that these people were Fang Jue's enemies.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, you don't want to loosen your ties quickly, why are a few big men treating a little girl like this."

Yue Xiaomiao whispered softly to comfort Li'er, but Li'er still curled up in the corner without saying a word.

It was raining outside just now, and Li'er was drenched at the moment, and the cold made Li'er shiver.

Yue Xiaomiao began to persuade Li'er in every possible way, but Li'er was not moved at all and refused to say a word.

"It turned out to be a mute."

Yue Xiaomiao saw that Li'er didn't say a word, and she couldn't even call for help, so she was sure that Li'er was a mute.

The several Huashan Sect disciples who kidnapped Li'er and came back looked a little embarrassed at the moment, they followed Li'er all the way, but they really didn't hear Li'er speak, and then directly knocked Li'er unconscious and tied her back.

"Master, what should I do with this?"

When a Huashan disciple said this, he made a move, that is, to avoid leaking the news and to kill Li'er.

Li'er has followed Fang Jue for so long, she can't understand anything, the reason why she doesn't speak and pretends to be dumb is because she wants to live. Dumb people don't talk nonsense everywhere, so they don't pose much threat to the enemy.

"Little sister, can you read and write, can you write your name?"

Yue Xiaomiao had some pity, so she planned to spare her life, but before that, she had to make sure that she was illiterate, so that she could ensure that nothing went wrong.

Li'er just shook her head, but the Huashan faction disciple on the side suddenly handed the pen to Li'er viciously, and Li'er couldn't answer it.

Li'er still made a scared look, and then took the pen, but she only held it.

"Little sister, you just have to write your name and we'll let you go."

Yue Xiaomiao still said softly to Li'er, and then asked someone to bring a piece of paper and put it in front of Li'er.

Li'er's trembling hand held the pen, but she didn't put it down. Write that they can really let themselves go, although Li'er is afraid, but she clearly knows that if she can write her name, then there is no point in pretending to be dumb, and what awaits her will be killed.

The ink slowly overflowed the tip of the pen and dripped onto the snow-white rice paper, and a pitch-black ink flower immediately splattered on the paper.
