A week later, Xing Chenghui sent someone to bring news to Cheng Lei. The Itos State has officially sent an envoy to Daheng City to convey their opinion, that is, they hope that Daheng City will not get involved in the cement factory in Yinta City.

Dahengcheng warmly received the envoy of the Etos Kingdom, and Mo Goda said that he would definitely consider this issue carefully. Moreover, Mo Geda also revealed that the rulers of Silverstone City and Vientiane City were particularly disgusted by the forced purchase of cement by Daheng City.

The visit of the envoy from the country of Itos greatly increased the pressure on Mogoda, and only one day later, Mogoda sent someone to the country of Itos to explain the final decision of Daheng City, no longer to forcibly buy cement from Yinta City, and will not have any thoughts about the cement factory in the future.

After getting this guarantee, Cheng Lei really took a reassuring pill. Not only are all the troubles now lifted, but if anyone wants to get involved in the cement factory in the future, they will also think about the current situation in Daheng City, and they have to consider what the consequences will be.

It seems that when you encounter a difficult situation, it is a particularly good way to use the help of your surroundings to solve the siege. If Cheng Lei solves this matter by himself, it can only be the result of a fight in the end, and it is impossible to handle it so perfectly as now.

The Duke of Dozan had been thinking about this for the past few days, and would send someone every day to inquire about the progress of the matter. Now that the matter has come to a conclusion, he can't let Duke Duozan's heart hang all day long, so Cheng Lei sent someone to send a message to Duke Duozan.

Duke Dozan was probably the last person he wanted to clash, although now after a period of recruitment, the strength of the Silver Tower City Guard had reached eight or nine hundred. But these soldiers and horses generally do not have too high quality, so they can only be regarded as a group of rabble, and the battle with the group of horse bandits brought by Sikong speaks for itself.

Cheng Lei certainly understands Duke Duozan's predicament, facing Daheng City, which has thousands of elite soldiers, Duke Duozan has no power to resist at all. If there is a conflict between Cheng Lei and Daheng City, of course Duke Duozan wants to help Cheng Lei resist Daheng City, and at that time, I am afraid that his hard work and family inheritance over the years will be ruined, which is the last thing Duke Duozan wants to see.

Now Xing Chenghui gave Cheng Lei a reassurance, and Cheng Lei also sent this reassuring pill to Duke Duozan. In this way, Duke Dozan does not have to focus all his energy on this matter, and can go to some other affairs.

Zheng Bin went to the base a few days ago to inspect it, and now the construction of the wall of the base is almost completed, and it has begun to close. It's just that the gate of the base hasn't started to be built yet, and Qi Mi, as the commander-in-chief of the construction, has sketched out several sketches, which Zheng Bin brought back for Cheng Lei to choose.

Cheng Lei chose the strongest and most defensive sketch, and asked people to send it back to Qi Mi. The other sketches are either flashy or ignore the defensive for a little detail, in fact, Cheng Lei chose the door that Qi Mi is most dissatisfied with, but of course Qi Mi can't disobey the order, on the contrary, he must resolutely implement it.

Now the foundations of the houses at the base have begun to be poured, and this is all in the hands of Qi Mi. Downgraded to deputy commander-in-chief, Sidalk often admired Qi Mi's ingenuity, and was able to build a building with some boards made of steel and cement and bricks, which Sidalk had never imagined.

The multi-storey buildings he had seen before were generally made of strips of stone and rice slurry, and only those single-storey buildings were made of bricks or stones. Now Qi Mi broke his old notion, and when the frame of the first four-story building was propped up, Sidoc had already admired him.

When Qi Mi stayed up two all-nighters to draw out the blueprint of the entire base, Siddok was even more impressed with him. Qimi built the base in full accordance with Cheng Lei's requirements, and all the buildings and supporting facilities in this blueprint will be fully equipped in the future.

In the blueprint, in the center is the general headquarters of the base, which can facilitate the transmission of information from all aspects to the headquarters as quickly as possible. To the left of the headquarters, there are two large training grounds for soldiers, and next to the training ground are a shooting range and a sports field. On the side of the training ground on the right is the soldiers' dormitory building, library, cafeteria and other service facilities.

The area to the left of the headquarters is capable of accommodating about a few thousand people living and stationing here. The area on the right side of the headquarters is the civilian area reserved by Cheng Lei, and various buildings will also be built, but that will have to wait for the area on the left to be completely built.

It will probably take a year for the construction of the left area of the base to be completed, and it will take the unremitting work of thousands of migrant workers to complete. As for the construction of the area on the right, it will have to be done slowly, after all, it is still necessary to build the base into a military fortress first.

Silvertower City and the surrounding city-states have recently experienced a sudden influx of refugees into the city. These refugees are all from those places in the southwest of the Burning Sun Federation, and it is because of the drought that their homes have been destroyed, so they have to trek to the northeasternmost city of Silver Tower, in order to be able to beg for food.

Compared to other city-states, the number of refugees entering Silver Tower is the smallest, about a few hundred. However, new refugees are coming in every day, and the accumulation of time is not a small number.

Cheng Lei's mind moved, and he thought about it. These refugees are people who have no homes and no land, and although the Duke of Dozan now takes out some food to make food and distribute it to them every day in the name of Silver Tower City, it is only barely enough to make ends meet. Duke Dozan also recruited some young men to join his city guards, but there were only more than a hundred people, and those old and weak women and children had nowhere to go.

Cheng Lei sent Li Changcheng to personally post a notice at the gate of the city: All refugees who come to Yinta City, regardless of men, women, old and young, can come to the gate of the mercenary guard camp to sign up. The construction of the base of the mercenary guards is about to be completed, and anyone who is willing to go to the base can go, and after they go, not only do they not have to worry about three meals a day, but they can also receive some money after a while.

As soon as the notice was posted, the refugees rushed to the camp gate like crazy. Li Changcheng had already sent someone to move a table and put it at the gate, and then began to register the refugees who came to sign up.

Zheng Bin has been opposed to Cheng Lei's idea from the beginning, what use can these refugees have for their base, but Cheng Lei told him not to worry, sooner or later it will be useful.

In just one morning, more than 800 refugees signed up, many of whom were women and children, but there were not many elderly people, probably because the elderly were physically weak and more likely to die in the face of disasters.

Cheng Lei asked Zheng Bin to immediately send all these people to the base, use all the carriages in the camp to bring enough tents, food and other daily necessities, and let them live there in the future, and participate in the construction of residents' living quarters.

Only then did Zheng Bin understand Cheng Lei's long-term plan, although there are many migrant workers in the base, the construction of the military zone has already soaked everyone on it. Now that there are these refugees, the construction of residential areas is also settled, and no matter how much they can do, it is better to have something than nothing. Isn't it just to take care of food every day, and now the Lion King Squadron has nothing else, and there is still a lot of money.

Zheng Bin especially admires Cheng Lei's foresight on some issues sometimes, which is not at all like the gunpowder squadron leader could come up with at all. Could it be that Cheng Lei's brain was transformed by some kind of electromagnetic wave when he traveled into this world?

Zheng Bin was thinking nonsense, and Cheng Lei patted him on the shoulder from behind and startled him: "Old Zheng, why are you stunned, look at your weak heart, what mess are you thinking?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Zheng Bin stammered, "Where do I think...... Want to mess around...... Actually, I ...... Actually......"

"Actually, what, are you daydreaming about marrying a daughter-in-law, thinking about how to marry Fang Lihua?"

"Oops!" Zheng Bin patted his thigh anxiously, and then told Cheng Lei his thoughts as they were. Cheng Lei was also a little puzzled by what he said. That's right, since I came to this world, my IQ has been rising like a rocket.

If the current brain of Cheng Lei is changed to before, how can he still be just a major squadron leader, and it is not impossible to become a lieutenant colonel or even a colonel. After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Lei came to a conclusion: "Maybe it was when I first entered this world, I knocked on the stone and opened my mind, otherwise we would have been together, how did you become stupid when I encountered electromagnetic waves?" ”

Zheng Bin's face was black: "It must be because of the stone, otherwise I will find a stone to knock on one day, maybe my IQ can also rise slowly, Lao Cheng, right?" ”

Cheng Lei glanced at him: "The brain is in the water, and the brain is dead to do that!" After speaking, he turned around and left, muttering as he walked: "This old Zheng is sick, and he is not lightly ill!" ”

After Duke Duozan knew that Cheng Lei had collected all the refugees and sent them to the base, he immediately sent someone to invite Cheng Lei over. repeatedly praised Cheng Lei as a particularly charitable and caring person, who was able to take in all these refugees, which completely shows Cheng Lei's mind. And Cheng Lei also relieved a lot of pressure for Duke Duozan, after all, there are more and more refugees pouring into Yinta City now, and if this continues, Duke Duozan can only close the city gate to prevent the influx of refugees.

Now that Cheng Lei has diverted these refugees, the pressure on Yinta City has been greatly relieved, and it can be said that Cheng Lei has done another big thing for Duke Duozan. Cheng Lei said that there was nothing, and any more refugees who entered Yinta City could be directly sent to the camp, and then he would send them to the base. There, these refugees can not only eat, but also live a normal life in the future.

Duke Duozan was even happier after hearing Cheng Lei say this, and praised Cheng Lei's kindness repeatedly. Then he told the matter to continue, what he didn't know was that he was actually working hard to make the Lion King base a miniature city.
