In the eastern section of Yuelong Canyon, tens of thousands of laborers quarried on the Broken Dragon Slope.

It is said that the stones were intended to be used to build the stone city, but strangely enough, the quarried boulders were piled up under the Broken Dragon Slope, while the earth had to be transported to the Yuelong Gorge to fill the deep ditch.

In order to transport the soil, Liuyun City used three thousand beast carts.

Qi Ruhai, the head of the Qi family, stood in front of the Broken Dragon Slope and looked at the laborers who worked hard to quarry: "What is the city lord going to do? Digging the soil of a mountain and filling the deep ditch in the canyon, isn't this doing useless work?"

Xu Maosheng pointed to the ragged group of people in the labor and said, "Look what it is." ”

"These people look poor, but they work hard. Qi Ruhai observed these people.

"Those are the plague people, caused by the rebellion of the heavenly demons, a total of 7,000 people. The city lord said that he was building a stone city, but in fact, he was just looking for a way to feed these people. Xu Maosheng sighed.

Next to the quarry, a camp has been set up, and women are living and cooking.

Xu Maosheng said: "Not only do the men in the victims have work, and the women are responsible for the food, but the Ye family acquiesces to the women who bring their children to eat." There is only one point, the Ye family has strict requirements for the women who cook, they can't be sloppy, and they have to wash their hands before cooking. ”

......

Everyone else thought that the Ye family was looking for an excuse to feed the victims, but Ye Xuan really planned to build a stone city, echoing Liuyun City from afar, and blockading Yuelong Canyon with a corner.

Which mountain to quarry on was also designated by Ye Xuan.

Because Ye Xuan wanted to change the landform of mountains and rivers and form a great array of heaven and earth to gather aura.

The Broken Dragon Slope is a hillside that needs to be removed.

The project is huge and impossible to complete in a short period of time, enough to keep the victims alive until the next season's food is ripe.

After Ye Xuan's cultivation was finished every day, he would go to the quarry site to take a look and make sure that the project was proceeding according to the blueprint he had set.

This evening, when I return to Liuyun City.

It was found that many ragged victims had gathered outside the city gate, and Xu Maosheng was maintaining order.

Ye Xuan rode by on the Flame Divine Horse, glanced at Xu Maosheng, and said, "What are you doing?" After counting the number of people, you will be sent to Yuelong Canyon, what are you doing blocking the city gate?"

Xu Maosheng hurriedly said, "City Lord...... These are not the victims of our Liuyun City. ”

"It's not from Liuyun City, why are you here?" Ye Xuan felt a little strange.

"The news of Liuyun City moving mountains to fill in the dragon ditch has spread, I heard that we have food to eat when we work here, and the victims of the disaster in several surrounding counties have gathered here to work for Liuyun City. Xu Maosheng replied.

From the conversation between the two, a victim immediately recognized who the adult was, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Ye Xuan's horse and pleaded: "Please, lord, have mercy on me." I don't want to be paid, as long as I can feed my children. The villain never eats much, and the amount of food the child eats is deducted from the villain's share. ”

Ye Xuan looked at this person and saw that it was a black and thin man, and the calluses on his hands were not the same as those of others, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"The villain is from Changbei County, and his family has suffered a disaster......"

Without waiting for the thin black man to finish speaking, Xu Maosheng interrupted: "The city lord asked you what you did, but didn't ask how you suffered from the disaster. ”

"Yes, yes...... The villain is a mason, and he also farms, and when the farm is busy. The thin black man hurriedly replied.

"Mason, if you build a city wall, will you?" Ye Xuan asked again.

"Yes, yes, last year in Changbei County, a section of the city wall was knocked down by a demon beast, and it was repaired by a villain. The thin black man hurriedly replied.

Ye Xuan looked at Xu Maosheng and ordered, "Write down this person's name and let him be responsible for recruiting craftsmen and preparing to build the stone city." ”

"Do you really want to build a stone city?" Xu Maosheng was a little surprised, he originally thought that digging mountains and quarrying stones was just to find work for these victims.

"Of course it's true. Just do what I say. ”

"What about these victims?" Xu Maosheng looked at the victims gathered in front of the city gate.

"All employed, treated the same as before. After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he hit his horse and entered Liuyun City.

When they heard this, they all knelt down and kowtowed, and many of them were women and children crying.

Xu Maosheng hurriedly beckoned the master book over, instructed him to count the number of people, and then hurriedly went to chase Ye Xuan.

"Castle Lord...... Castle Lord......"

Ye Xuan slowed down his horse and asked him to follow: "What's the matter?"

"There are at least 3,000 people in this group of victims, and if this continues, it will definitely attract all the victims within a radius of 300 miles. Shall we all accept it?" asked Xu Maosheng.

"Collect them all, I just think the number of people is too small, I will accept as many people as there are in the future, I want to fill in the Yuelong ditch as soon as possible. ”

"However, the number of people may exceed 30,000 by then, and the food in Liuyun City will be eaten up in less than a month. Xu Maosheng said solemnly.

"Then go to the neighboring cities and counties to buy food, you don't need me to teach you, right?"

"This subordinate naturally knows. It's just that if the neighboring cities knew that there were so many victims in Liuyun City, it would be difficult to buy a large amount of food with gold and silver. "Xu Maosheng has been a county guard for ten years, and he knows very well that in a disaster year, he can't buy food with money.

"Then exchange it for cultivation resources, what can't be bought with gold and silver, can't you buy pills?" Ye Xuan was very dissatisfied with Xu Maosheng's ability to do things this time, and he had to ask about this kind of trivial matter.

Xu Maosheng was stunned for a moment, and watched Ye Xuan disappear at the end of the street on horseback.

In the Kyushu Continent, food is very important, sometimes money can't buy it, but more important than food is the cultivation resources of martial artists.

Warriors are beings who are detached from the civilian population, have long been free from the threat of starvation, and have absolute power.

For martial artists, it doesn't matter if they have food or not, they can't be hungry anyway, so the importance of cultivation resources is always above food.

Food that can't be bought with money can be easily exchanged with cultivation resources.

It's just that, under normal circumstances, very few people would be willing to exchange cultivation resources for food.

The reason why Xu Maosheng wanted to ask Ye Xuan's opinion was because he didn't expect Ye Xuan to exchange cultivation resources for food without hesitation.

This is the limitation of Xu Maosheng's vision, he can't see the blueprint in Ye Xuan's heart.

Ye Xuan's goal was to make Liuyun City produce higher-level cultivation resources, so now he paid a part of his cultivation resources and recruited enough craftsmen to change the mountains and rivers of Yuelong Canyon.

As long as the aura in the Panlong Mountain Range is gathered in Liuyun City, and the third-order cultivation resources are directly produced at that time, then the little second-order cultivation resources paid now are very cost-effective.

After receiving Ye Xuan's instructions, Xu Maosheng had no worries, and immediately went to collect the victims, as long as he was willing to exchange cultivation resources for food, not to mention the 30,000 victims, even if he came another 100,000, he could afford to raise them.
