Chapter 248: Be kind and give to Young Master Ye
Everything has been negotiated, and the next morning, Ye Yi went to the town, invited the best architectural planner to plan for him, and invited a professional construction team to come back for construction.
There are less than 100 people in the construction team, which is naturally not enough for people to move mountains, so Ye Yi paid money again to directly recruit people to work in the village, and the price was extremely high, 10 silver coins a day for adult Zhuang people, 8 silver coins a day for ordinary villagers, and 5 silver coins a day for villagers from other villages.
This price is already extremely high, and most importantly, there is no upper limit on the number of students enrolled, and the salary is paid daily.
When the news spread, thousands of people came on the first day, even if it was already afternoon, Ye Yi was not short of any money, he directly hired people according to a day's salary, worked immediately, and began to move mountains and fill in the land.
The next day was even more exaggerated, more than 3,000 people came, bustling, one by one, in full swing, so lively.
Although there is no so-called excavator in the Xuantian Realm, there are actually some large-scale construction mystical machinery, but in this era of extremely low human resources, the price of the mystical machinery is much more expensive.
Moreover, this kind of large machinery is not available everywhere, at least in Yongan Town, there are not a few, such as moving mountains, only in Baihe City can take it.
Ye Yi didn't bother to go to Baihe City, he felt that it was good to use manpower, although he spent a lot of unjust money, but the villagers from Ye Village and nearby villages benefited.
is still the same sentence, he is spending money to buy people's hearts, and the effect is very good, and now he has become a proper "Leshan and Shi Ye Young Master" in the eyes of many villagers, and seeing him one by one is the same as seeing the God of Wealth, respectfully greeting him.
The effect of this sugar-coated cannon is excellent, and the villagers' opinion of him has changed greatly, and Ye Yi himself is quite satisfied, it can be regarded as hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Although there are a lot of people doing the work, after all, it is moving mountains, and the amount of work is very large, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to do anything.
The new village chief is the son of the old village chief, his name is Ye Ningde, and he is actually quite old, in his fifties.
In these years, even the emperor of the empire was hereditary, and although there were no village rules for hereditary succession, there was nothing wrong with the inheritance of father and son.
In fact, before Ye Yi came back, the son of the old village chief was already the actual manager of the village, but he lacked a name.
Now accepting Ye Yi's entrustment to manage the removal of mountains and land reclamation, road repair, and house building, his authority can be said to have reached its peak in the village, whoever makes him unhappy, he will not let anyone come in to work, or, arrange you to do the heaviest and most tiring work every day, find fault with you, and deduct your wages.
10 silver coins a day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, this money is much better than doing farm work, no one will have trouble with the money, especially ordinary villagers who have no money.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, the old village chief directly conducted a "democratic election" and successfully passed the position of village chief to his son.
It must be known that the village chief of this year is lifelong, and as long as there is no major fault, he can serve until the day he dies, that is to say, under normal circumstances, Ye Ningde, the new village head, can serve for at least twenty or thirty years until the day he grows old or dies.
Soon it was the night of the third day, and in the afternoon, Ye Yi entrusted everything to the little fat man, and he planned to leave tomorrow.
In the past few days, the little fat man also noticed that something was wrong with him, and asked him several times openly and secretly, but he didn't tell the little fat man about his father-in-law and his parents.
As for where to go after leaving, he didn't tell the little fat man, only said that he would go to a place to do something.
Not to mention, it's because Ye Yi doesn't want others to worry too much about him, and the place he is going to this time is the Xuanwu Empire in the north.
Previously, part of the reason why he left Ye Mansion was because he was going to the Xuanwu Empire to return the inheritance of their Heavenly Soul Clan to Princess Li, and at the same time unlock the strange soul mark in his soul consciousness.
On the night when he came out of the tomb of the king and returned to Ye's mansion, Ye Yi had already probed the soul mark in his soul consciousness.
This soul mark is very strange, as if it has vitality, firmly rooted in his soul consciousness, and there is a strange soul power seed in the center of the soul seal, which is constantly absorbing his soul power through the soul seal, so as to take root and sprout and grow rapidly.
According to what the princess said, he only has three months to go, Ye Yi estimates that in these three months, this soul seal seed will continue to absorb his divine soul to grow, and after three months, the soul seal seed is estimated to blossom and bear fruit, and then it will be his death date.
This is a terrible slow death, like a timed bomb tied to his body, Ye Yi thought of many ways, and even tried to use Xiao Xixi's four-color flame to burn, but the result was useless.
As for Danyan Xixi's seven-color divine fire, Ye Yi felt that it should be able to burn, but this seven-colored divine fire was too powerful, although Xiao Xixi could control it, but the control was not fine enough, and the place where the soul mark was entwined was his soul sense, if she was not careful, the soul seal would be burned, maybe his soul would also be burned.
The danger of this matter is too high for Xiao Xixi to do, so the only way is to wait for Danyan Xixi to wake up, and let her control the seven-colored divine fire, and the danger can be minimized.
Of course, the fact that Xi Xi could use the seven-colored divine fire to solve the soul seal for him was just a guess for him for the time being.
However, on weekdays, Xi Xi has the aura of the eldest and her second, and she is a seventh-order alchemist, Ye Yi feels that the probability that she can help herself get rid of the soul mark should be nine out of nine.
However, this is just a guess after all, and Xixi's current state is not at its peak, in case it can't be done, then play Dafa.
Therefore, Ye Yi didn't dare to bet, he felt that he had better go on the road first and rush to the Xuanwu Empire, according to Xixi's sleeping time, when she almost arrived at the Xuanwu Empire, she should wake up.
At that time, if Xi Xi could get the soul mark in his soul consciousness, then naturally everything was easy to say, if she was helpless, then he could only obediently find a way to see Emperor Xuanwu and find a way to live.
Thinking that he was leaving tomorrow, not knowing when he would be able to return, and not even knowing if he could come back, Ye Yi felt a little irritable.
I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run, and I can know that the imperial royal family is not easy to mess with, and it has always been a tiger's den in Longtan, even if Danyan Xixi is there, there is no guarantee for the safety of his trip.
I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and I wasn't interested in alchemy, so Ye Yi simply sat up and sat quietly on the bed alone in a daze.
On the other side of the bed, the little idiot nested quietly in a small quilt, smacking his lips and snoring slightly from time to time.
Ye Yi looked at it, and suddenly felt a burst of envy, it was better to be a rabbit, no heart, no lungs and no worries.
After staying for a while, Ye Yi couldn't help but want to look at the soul mark in his soul consciousness and see how the seed inside grew.
The last time I saw it was half a month ago, when the seeds had just sprouted, and there was a plant growing in the soul, which looked quite infiltrating, so he didn't see it after that day.
Now half a month later, I don't know how many leaves this plant has grown? What kind of plant is it?
Closing his eyes slightly, Ye Yi sank his mind into his soul consciousness to observe the germinating seeds in the soul seal.
Soon I saw the gray soul mark, obviously, the germinated seed had grown, much stronger than the previous germination state, and two small leaf buds had bloomed.
It's just that after looking at it so seriously, Ye Yi was suddenly stunned, because he found that this weird little plant seemed to be ...... Wilted?
The entire plant bent down as if it had lost its moisture, looking dying, and even the originally rich soul mark seemed to be much dimmer at the moment.
"Damn, what's going on?"
Ye Yi was puzzled, but he was sure that this situation was definitely not normal.
At this moment, he wrinkled slightly, and began to immerse all his mind into his divine soul, carefully observing the changes in the gray soul mark.
First of all, it was obvious that the soul mark was still absorbing his divine soul power, but at the same time as it was constantly absorbing, it seemed that there were also wisps of soul power emitting and fusing back into his divine soul.
This situation made Ye Yi feel that the soul mark at this moment was like a pool, one water inlet was constantly entering the water, and the other water outlet was constantly releasing water.
Moreover, it seems that the rate of water discharge is still a little larger than the rate of water inflow.
It's just that how can a good pool release water......? What pools...... It should be, why did a good soul mark leak out the origin of soul power? It seems that it was still good in the past few days!
Ye Yi was very confused, and looked at it carefully again, and after a while, he finally found the problem.
In this gray soul seal, there seems to be a strange energy, very weak but very tough, this energy obviously does not belong to Princess Li's soul seal, because it has a faint fiery attribute, which is the opposite of Princess Li's cold power.
"Is it possible that this is the origin of Xixi?" Ye Yi's eyes lit up, and he sensed it carefully for a while, and the more he felt it, the more he felt that it was possible.
His body had devoured Xi Xi's true body origin, and in the depths of his bloodline, there was still a huge amount of seven-colored flame energy flowing, and under the long-term influence of his physical body, his soul power was very likely to be contaminated with this powerful fire energy.
In the process of continuously absorbing his soul power, the soul seal of the princess also absorbed this powerful fire energy.
However, the gray soul seal obviously couldn't digest this fire energy, and when this fire energy accumulated to a certain extent in the soul seal, it began to refine the soul power origin of the soul seal in turn, so it caused the phenomenon of continuous leakage of the soul power source.
As for the small plant in the soul seal, there is still fire energy in its body, and it is constantly refining, and the soul power absorbed by the soul seal is not enough for its own consumption, so instead of continuing to grow, it has become a half-wilted appearance that is now dying.
Looking at it now, is it possible that this talisman-like soul mark will suck and suck itself up?
How does this work...... It's unprecedented!
Ye Yi couldn't believe it for a while, so he decided to observe it for a longer time.
