Outside Shiquan City, there was a busy scene in full swing.

If you look down from above, you can see a group of people moving back and forth in the snow like small black ants, and these people are building igloos.

In the flat open area, several igloos have been built.

Some of these people were transferred from the city's guards, and most of the rest were hired from the city, with a salary of twenty wen a day, including three meals a day, and the igloo would be given priority to them after it was built.

Because the notice of hiring was posted by the yamen, and the official seal of the yamen was stamped on it, the people rushed to come despite being surprised and suspicious of such favorable conditions.

As the chief engineer of the igloo project, Xue Wu is also responsible for hiring people, and at this time, her conditions for accepting people are very relaxed, as long as there is no big problem, she will hire them, even half-old children.

In this era, there is no such thing as child labor, many children start apprenticeship at the age of seven or eight, and when they reach their teens, they will follow the master everywhere to work, and at this time, being able to have a job is not a squeeze for children, but a life-saving.

Those who had been given jobs were overjoyed, and under the instruction of several stewards, they began to work quickly.

Before recruiting people, Xue Wu first led the defenders to build an igloo to dispel the suspicions of Shi and others.

For the proposal to build an igloo, Pei Lin naturally supported it, but Thorn Shi and others expressed doubts, Xue can still build a house? Can it be built to live in? It's cold enough outside, isn't it even colder inside the igloo?

Xue Wu didn't argue with them, and it was troublesome to explain, so she said to build one first and let them experience it for themselves.

Facts speak louder than words, after the igloo was built, Thorn Shi and the others went in, and were surprised to find that it was really much warmer here than outside!

Compared to the degree of dripping ice outside, this is simply as warm as spring!

After that, Thorn Shi and the others all obeyed, did not raise any objections, and actively cooperated with her.

The raw materials for the construction of ice bricks were everywhere, so the progress of the project was quite gratifying, and five igloos were built in just two days.

Now the number of igloos is still small, and I can't see the rules, but in fact, these five igloos are arranged in a specific order, at the beginning of construction, Xue Wu laid the foundation of the formation in the entire venue, and these igloos are a part of the formation, which exists as nodes, and when the igloos are built later, the big array will naturally become.

This large array has two functions, one is heat preservation, which can keep the igloo intact, and it has always been firm and stiff, even if the sun comes out later and the temperature warms up, it can also remain unchanged here.

The second is defense, which ordinary demon insects can't attack. If there is another demon insect like the giant earth dragon, it will not want to get in.

It's also a small experiment for hers.

If the experiment is successful, it can be used as a small base.

On the construction site, snow shoveling, snow transporting, ramming snow bricks, and building walls are ...... Everyone is busy and orderly.

The largest igloo in the center is divided into two rooms, one is the kitchen, and a window is opened, and when it is time to eat, the workers will line up to come here to eat.

A few cooks who had been hired to cook for the workers were busy inside, and the room was steaming.

The outside room is the financial room + grocery store, and Xue Wu uses the salary once a day, after all, everyone has no money in their hands now, and it is more reassuring that the money should be sent to them as soon as possible.

Coming here to receive wages every day is the happiest moment for everyone.

In addition, Xue Wu also led people to arrange this place into a grocery store, selling food, clothing, bedding, etc., which are urgently needed by everyone.

The things were brought in from outside by Pei Lian's subordinates to drive flying kites, and the materials were packed in storage bags, and Xue Wu specially refined some more storage bags specifically for loading things, and a large number of materials could be transported back after one trip.

The difficulty in refining the storage bag lies in the drawing of space runes, at first she often failed, and the success rate was very low, but now she is quite proficient, as long as the materials are in place, she can make one in minutes.

Not all materials can withstand the marking of space runes, some material runes exploded into pieces as soon as they fell, after so many failures, she found that the most suitable material was shark yarn, followed by the silk woven cloth spit out by the spirit silkworm in her space, and some foreign beast fur was also good, such as the spinning turtle she hunted with Pei Lin before.

However, the space runes she is drawing now can only open up a maximum of ten cubic meters of space, and if she wants to open up a larger space, she has to upgrade the runes, but after the runes are upgraded, the complexity has greatly increased, and the requirements for spiritual power and spiritual power have also increased exponentially, and she can't do it for the time being.

I guess at least I'll have to wait for her to break through to the foundation building period.

It's just that if the Heavenly Dao restrictions in this world are not broken for a day, she won't want to break through for a day.

If the space is not enough, then the number is to make up, a storage bag is ten cubic meters, ten is a hundred cubic meters, and it can hold a lot of things.

If it's not enough, make a few more trips.

Xue Wu opened a grocery store for disaster relief in disguise, so the prices of the things in the shop were half or more cheaper than the normal price.

Workers work every day, and the wages they get to buy food from the grocery store are definitely able to ensure food and clothing, and after they can eat and clothe themselves, they will have more hope.

The reason why we don't distribute things directly to the victims -

People's hearts are always insufficient, and things are given out in vain, maybe some people will feel that there is less, and maybe there are people who are lazy and lazy to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and disguise themselves as disaster victims to receive supplies.

But it's different for them to buy it with money, and the money they earn by sweating is more budget-conscious and more cherished when they spend it.

A purely transactional relationship is far simpler and more stable than the relationship between the benefactor and the benefactor.

But soon, the rich people in the city got the news that a shop had opened here, and not only was there a large supply of food and clothing, but the price was much cheaper than usual!

How can these people not be tempted? They sent people to buy it.

For these rich people who don't lack food or clothing, Xue Wu is not so polite, want to buy something? Yes, at three times the usual price.

Compared with those unscrupulous businessmen who took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, her price was very fair.

But people, who do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, these rich people are very dissatisfied, why are the prices of those workers buying things so low, and when they come to them, they suddenly triple at once?

In this regard, Xue Wu said that she was not convinced, and she loved to buy it or not.

She didn't take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

What can the rich do? It's not like you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

Someone wants to make a ghost and buy a badge from the workers and pretend to be a worker to buy things, can Xue Wu be succeeded by them?

After it is discovered, the worker who sold the badge will be warned once, and if there is a next time, he will be dismissed directly. The wealthy are directly pulled into the blacklist of grocery stores.

When this hand came out, the workers all covered their badges tightly, and they no longer dared to sell them to others, nor did they dare to buy them for the rich people.

But have the rich been honest ever since? No.
