Jingle bells! A series of system prompts came from my head.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest: find the person who wears it, Ran Min, and reward 2,000 military merits."

After the system recovered, 2,000 military merit points were automatically deducted, and the Great Inventor System was successfully promoted to version 2.0 and the artificial intelligence AI system was opened. The host's current military merit value is 0. ”

"The system completes the promotion and rewards the host: 2,000 military merits, 100 outstanding construction workers, 50 skilled salt and iron craftsmen, modern salt and iron quenching technology and related facilities and equipment. The reward has been distributed, please check it in time. ”

"The system has issued a new mission, asking the host to build a barracks, smelter, and coarse salt processing plant within thirty days. Quest completed, reward: 1000 military merits, 200 firearms, 1000 Zhuge crossbows and 1000 Zhuge crossbowmen. "The reward is not ungenerous, and it is very attractive to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu immediately opened the system warehouse, and the rewards of 2,000 points of military merit, salt and iron quenching technology, facilities and equipment have all been received.

"Open the System Store."

"Wait a minute." The AI system will put the mall page in front of him in the form of a quantum cloud platform.

It's as easy to touch as your smartphone or tablet.

Click "Infrastructure" in the mall category, select "Barracks", consume 1,000 military merits, and exchange for a barracks with an area of 250,000 square meters, with a construction period of 22 days; Continue to select "Coarse Salt Processing Plant" and "Smelter", and consume a total of 1,000 military merits to build a processing plant and smelter for 25 days.

According to the suggestion of AI military advisor Jiang Shang, Liu Xiu put the military camp in the open area north of the county government, and the coarse salt processing plant and smelter were built behind the county government, a sparsely populated place.

......

Three days later, noisy footsteps were heard outside the county office, and a large number of construction workers and salt and iron craftsmen came to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu inevitably exchanged a few words of greeting and encouragement, and then assigned the task of building military camps, processing plants, and smelters to the head.

Liu Xiu supervised the work, Zhu You was fully responsible, and the county Cheng Liangfu was specifically responsible for the implementation of the project.

Originally, I thought that everything was arranged properly, and the construction was completed step by step.

I don't want to freeze the ground and the weather, the frozen soil is solid, the construction difficulty increases, 100 construction workers work at the same time, the progress of the project construction is still slow, Liu Xiu has to send salt and iron craftsmen to help, but the manpower is still not enough.

The completion period is not more than 30 days, Liu Xiu must find a way, Jianyang is a small place, even if the announcement of the recruitment of craftsmen is issued, there are only a few people who come to sign up, and it is really too scarce for craftsmen, including construction workers.

Under the advice of Li Tong and Zhu You, Liu Xiu decided to go to Wancheng in person, Wanxian is a big county after all, and there are many skilled craftsmen.

Before leaving, entrust the affairs of the county government to the county Cheng Liangfu, after all, although this person is a deputy, but when Liu Xiu is not there, he can completely stand alone.

Wancheng, Laifu Inn.

Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua met their two younger brothers, and Yin Xing and Yin were very excited to see their sister and brother-in-law again.

"Sister, you tell your brother-in-law, let me be a half-official." Yin Xing tugged at Yin Lihua's sleeve and pleaded.

"How old are you, you want to be an official?" Yin Lihua said angrily.

"Sister, you can help." Yin Xing said, looking at Liu Xiu, hoping that his brother-in-law would say a few words.

"Xing'er has grown up, why don't you give him a chance to give it a try?" Liu Xiu asked tentatively.

"It's all you, you spoiled your younger brothers, all playboys, not doing their jobs, and their studies are about to be wasted." Yin Lihua glared at him fiercely.

"Your sister said that she will follow her brother-in-law on an errand in the future." Liu Xiu saw that Yin Lihua did not explicitly object, so she agreed.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. Wait for my brother to cook himself, and let you see what I'm good at. Yin Xing has grown into a little adult, and he speaks with that flavor.

A few people gossiped, and after a while, the housekeeper came and went.

"Fauber, have you inquired clearly?" Liu Xiu's eyes looked at Laifu longingly.

Liu Xiu entrusted the housekeeper of the underworld to come to Fu, inquired in many ways, and collected skilled craftsmen.

"Childe, the old slave inquired, there is a family of craftsmen in the southeast of the city, called Gong Yi Lun, the world respectfully calls him the Gong Loser, all kinds of craftsmanship are like fire, it is said that his ancestors are the master of the craftsman." Laifu reported truthfully.

"Oh, it's so big? Then I must visit in person. Liu Xiu said with firm determination.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you." Yin Xing hurriedly grabbed the words.

"As far as you have a lot to do, what can you help your brother-in-law?" Yin Lihua glanced at her younger brother.

"I didn't ask you, I asked my brother-in-law." Yin Xing quibbled.

"Okay, you come with me." Liu Xiu originally wanted to take his younger brother to see the world and broaden his horizons.

"Fubo, you go too." Since Laifu knew the whereabouts of Gong Yilun, he must know where he lived.

"The old slave obeys." Rifles agreed.

......

Southeast of Wancheng.

Rifle knocked softly on a wooden door, and it was a woman who opened the door. I saw that the woman's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

The blessing explained the purpose, and the woman welcomed them in.

"Mr. Gong Loser is not here?" Liu Xiu asked suspiciously.

"It's unfortunate that Gongzi came, Lang Jun is not at home." The woman seemed to be a little defensive.

"We have no malicious intent, we are here this time to invite Mr. Gongyi out of the mountain." Liu Xiu said very sincerely.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?" Yin Xing's experience is still shallow, and he speaks directly.

When the woman saw him ask, she wept again.

Only then did the woman tell a case.

It turned out that in order to marry the ninth concubine, the county magistrate of Wanxian County asked Gongyi Lun to build a mansion for him privately. Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, he had to recruit a group of craftsmen and work for the county magistrate day and night.

More than a year later, seeing that the mansion was completed, the craftsmen went to the county government to ask for hard money, not wanting the officials to be fierce and beat people to death.

In order to protect Mingzhe, the county magistrate falsely accused Gong Yilun of taking the lead in making trouble, beat the craftsman to death, and sentenced him to death according to the law. Now, Gong Yilun has already been thrown into prison, and he will be beheaded in ten days.

Therefore the woman's sorrow and weeping were caused by a grievance.

"It's just a matter of human life!" Yin Xing was young and vigorous, and he opened his mouth and scolded angrily.

"Who's to say it isn't?" The woman's eyes were swollen with weeping, and she hoped that her husband would return safely.

"You come with me." Liu Xiu called Laifu and Yinxing out of the door to discuss the matter of saving people.

"It's hard to save people." This is Wancheng, the place under the jurisdiction of the Xinmang Imperial Court.

And Liu Xiu is the most wanted criminal in Xinmang.

Wanting to save people on other people's turf is tantamount to a fool's dream.

If you don't think about a way, you can't save people at all.

After a long discussion, I couldn't find a good way.

Liu Xiu could only sigh silently.
