Chapter 421: People's Livelihood
At the same time, in another huge cross-courtyard in the Panjin Black City City City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yue was busy, this City Lord's Mansion was extremely huge, so in addition to the martial arts arena, the conference hall, and Zhou Yue's daily residence, the rest of the part was also fully utilized, many core team members simply lived here, and Liu Yue, the chief manager, had to deal with daily affairs even more here. [Sogou,360,Soso】【Starter】
"Have you finished crafting the last batch of Heavy Wolf Rider gear? How much is there still in stock of ferrofoam and refined iron, as well as forged steel? The deadline given to me by Commander Xiao is tomorrow afternoon, if the time limit is reached, you will not be able to complete the task, it is a small matter to punish you, but it is to miss the major event of our march and battle, and you know the consequences! ”
Liu Yue's expression was stern at the moment, and she quickly flipped through the orders without raising her head, and asked in a deep voice, and below her, there were more than a dozen middle-aged people dressed in ancient costumes and looking like stewards, these people were Liu Yue's deputies, but they were also the stewards of the major shops in Panjin Black City, in addition to the village elders elected from the ancient residents, Baozheng, etc.
This is also Zhou Yue's usual style of employing people, modern people all enter the camp and rely on their own strength to make a name for themselves, and all the economic lifelines such as shops are completely in the hands of ancient residents, after all, in this area, the ancients should be more assured, because the economic lifeline in Panjin Heicheng today can not be sloppy at all, and it is becoming more and more important, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with each passing day.
"Returning to the deputy city lord, there is no problem, there is no need to wait for tomorrow afternoon, until the early morning of tomorrow, the last batch of equipment for the heavy wolf tooth battalion will be built and assembled, and I will definitely not dare to make a mistake." A steward in the highest position carefully accompanied the smile and said, although he is nominally the steward of Xiao Guanyin's blacksmith shop, and the entire blacksmith shop is Xiao Guanyin's private property, but he still has to be cautious in his words and deeds in front of Liu Yue, because the contact in the past period has already made him retract because Liu Yue is a woman's contempt heart, this little woman, but it is really not simple!
"Oh, by the way, while the villain is supervising the construction matters on a daily basis, he has also mobilized craftsmen to build a hundred courtyards that meet the specifications day and night in Ping'an Fang, which can now be used to house more than 500 people such as Su Dada."
Hearing this, Liu Yue suddenly raised her head and stared at the steward lightly, "Xiao Ping, is this Commander Xiao's idea?" ”
"Well, no, no, no, the master of the family doesn't know about this, in the past ten days, the master of the family has been training outside, and it is very hard, where does the villain dare to use such a trivial matter to work the master of the family." That Xiao Ping wiped a handful of cold sweat and muttered in his heart, it seems that his little Jiujiu can't hide it.
"Humph! Xiao Ping, Su Dada and other five hundred and thirty-one people are only temporarily seconded to your Changming Iron Number, but it is not equivalent to making them become craftsmen of the Changming Iron Number, I have other plans for this matter, and there is no need to discuss it anymore. Liu Yue snorted coldly, Su Dazhong and the others are those craftsmen that Zhou Yue rescued a few days ago, there are five hundred and thirty-one people, which is definitely very good, because there are two intermediate blacksmiths, three intermediate carpenters, fifteen junior blacksmiths, eighty-five junior carpenters, and the most precious thing is the two junior doctors and five physician apprentices, the addition of these people has suddenly increased the prosperity of Panjin Black City by one hundred and fifty points, a full hundred and fifty points! According to this growth rate, in less than a month, Panjin Black City may be able to impact and become a three-star black city.
It is no exaggeration to say that the technical reserves of five hundred and thirty-one have far exceeded the craftsman reserves jointly established by Old Man Deng and Xiao Guanyin.
What's more, the loyalty of these five hundred and thirty-one craftsmen to Zhou Yue all exceeded 80 points, which was more than double the loyalty of the two ancient forces of the Deng family and Xiao Guanyin.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Liu Yue to let the Deng family and Xiao Guanyin divide these five hundred and thirty-one precious craftsmen, although Zhou Yue didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Liu Yue can't think about it, she has to think about Zhou Yue and the whole team.
Now the Deng family and Xiao Guanyin have grasped the economic lifeline of Panjin Black City, although for a long time in the future, they will not be able to make any moths, but this is not normal for a team, a team that is interested in controlling a city agglomeration.
So these days, Liu Yue is thinking about how to transfer the initiative of this economic lifeline to the entire team, or to be precise, to be under the control of Zhou Yue, so that there is no need to worry, the Deng family and Xiao Guanyin will become bigger, at least play a supervisory role.
And these five hundred and thirty-one craftsmen just gave Liu Yue such a perfect opportunity to intervene, that is, to rebuild at least three large shops, namely blacksmiths, carpenters, and medical halls, so that the small economic circle in Panjin Heicheng can be regarded as on the right track.
"What about spring ploughing, water conservancy, and town construction outside the city? How has it been affected? At this time, Liu Yue continued to ask, now she doesn't need to do everything, many things, just in charge of the general direction, and this time, the Mongolian army is directly aimed at Jinzhou Heicheng, although she tried her best to hide the news, but those ancient residents seemed to have another way, and soon knew about it, so there were some people who were panicked, which Liu Yue absolutely could not tolerate.
She even regretted it a little, ten days ago, she knew Zhou Yue's plan, but she was not able to stop Xiao Jun, Wang Huang, He Qingming, Liang Xiaoxue, Zhao Xiaoer, Chu Liuyun and other thousand elites from going to the Great and Small Xing'an Mountains!
Although there are only 1,000 people, it is really the true essence of the whole team, especially He Qingming and Wang Huang, which are powerful beings who can turn the tide!
Now that the war is imminent, so many masters cannot be recalled, a mistake, a mistake! Whenever she thought of this, Liu Yue was secretly annoyed, she was not worried that the Mongolian iron cavalry would be able to break through the Panjin Black City and destroy the entire team, because today's Panjin Black City is really a copper wall and an iron wall, a net of heaven and earth, and on the four city walls, there are as many as 800 catapults alone, plus 300 eight-bull crossbows, nearly 8,000 wind archers, exhausting Temujin and his army, and don't want to easily capture it.
Therefore, what Liu Yue is really worried about is the prosperity of Panjin Black City, this is the fatal place, once the Mongol army enters within fifty kilometers of Panjin Black City, it will not only block the trade route, but also cause fatal panic to those ancient residents, and what is even more fatal is that the construction and spring plowing of the five towns outside the city are at the brink, how can it be interrupted?
At this point, Liu Yue is not optimistic at all! Even if she knew very well the power of Xiao Guanyin's four thousand heavily armed wolf horses.
"Returning to the deputy city lord, uh, there are indeed some rumors, but it has also caused panic among many ignorant people, but it is not so that everyone has lost their square inch, we are wandering in this troubled world, and it is not easy to find a place comparable to Taoyuan, and we will not give it up lightly, so it is imperative that the little old man thinks that as long as the city lord leads the army and achieves a big victory, a qiē, it can be solved."
At this time, a dry, peasant-looking old man replied with his hand, he was one of the village elders of the five small towns outside Panjin City, and he was also the patriarch of a small family, and he had some prestige.
"There is no doubt about this, Mr. Pang, please work hard after you go back, let everyone rest assured, do whatever you have to do, I can guarantee here that the Mongol soldiers will never step within a hundred miles, okay, everyone go down!" Liu Yue waved her hand to let everyone retreat, but she didn't have the heart to sit here anymore, and went to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry, she couldn't handle many things, she had to consult with Zhou Yue, she was really worried about the menacing Mongols this time!
It's just that when I got to the backyard, I still couldn't hear any movement inside, although Liu Yue knew what secret Zhou Yue was playing, but this was too weird, for two days, I couldn't hear the sound of martial arts training at all, as if Zhou Yue was sleeping inside, which was simply incredible.
"Sister Liu Yue, seeing that you don't think about it, do you want me to give you a face-to-face, or test the words, to ensure that you can resolve the hidden worries in your heart."
Li Rui's voice came from a distance, but he was smiling and grinning, and there was no pressure at all.
"Stay and don't bother me!" Liu Yue glared, but then frowned, "What are you doing here?" If you don't go to the training supervision, you are still in the mood to come here to make a joke about the old lady and deduct ten points of team contribution. ”
"Don't don't, Sister Liu Yue, I naturally have something important to ask to see the city lord, where do you dare to slip away, Sister Liu Yue, you have a lot of adults, just don't see me." Li Rui said with a mouse's eyebrows, turned around and fled, he actually had nothing to do, the main thing was to see when Zhou Yue would come out, because now the entire Panjin Black City can be said to be ready, just waiting for Zhou Yue's order.
"Wait, what's the matter?"
"Ahem, it's actually nothing, Sister Liu Yue, you're busy!" Li Rui walked as he spoke, as if he had done something unfortunate.
"You don't say that I know, it's related to your family, right? Boy, your Taoism is still tender, did they want to take refuge in Panjin Heicheng because they saw the Mongols menacing? Liu Yue said unhurriedly.
Sure enough, Li Rui was immediately deflated, this matter has to be approved by Zhou Yue, Liu Yue can't make the decision, but this matter has to be kept secret, because if you are not careful, you may offend the two major military regions, and you will have a headache when you think about it.
"Sister Liu Yue, you are really discerning, otherwise, if you intercede with me, this matter is really difficult for me." Li Rui let out a long sigh and said.
"I don't say anything about this matter, it depends on what Brother Zhou thinks? But-" When Liu Yue said this, her face suddenly changed, and she was completely stunned, because at this moment, she suddenly noticed that the prosperity of Panjin Black City had inexplicably increased by one hundred points.
She is the chief manager and deputy city lord entrusted by Zhou Yue personally, so she can check the overall attributes of Panjin Black City anytime and anywhere, but this matter is too unbelievable.
You must know that Liu Yue has been hollowing out all day long, the purpose is to improve the prosperity of this black city, one hundred points, this under normal circumstances, it takes at least five days to accumulate, and it has to be said that Zhou Yue stayed in the black city, so you can imagine the difficulty of this.
