Through cash-for-work, the people and the displaced people from other states and counties saw hope in life.

Especially after Li Xing announced the expansion of Lingwu City, he made a commitment to all the people and displaced people.

As long as each person attends more than five and a half months within half a year of expanding Lingwu City, they can be assigned a house with tiles.

If both members of the family have more than five and a half months of attendance, they can be assigned two tiled houses with a small courtyard.

A family of three with more than five and a half months of attendance can be divided into three tiled houses with a small courtyard.

In short, the more people there are, the more they contribute to the construction of the new city, and the more houses they will receive, and vice versa.

Whether ancient or modern, housing will always be a big problem.

Therefore, the people in the entire Lingwu County went crazy, and Li Xing's popularity also rose from 100,000 to 500,000.

When the number of people was counted, Li Xing was stupid, this new city was big enough, but the total number of registered people exceeded 400,000.

You must know that the state capital of Great Xia is only so many people.

Therefore, on the basis of the original, the new city has expanded by 30%, which can meet the needs of 400,000 people.

In order to speed up the construction of the city, Li Xing took Li Gou'er out of the city, and first exchanged a sleep card for Li Gou'er to use.

Only then did he endure the distress and exchanged 30,000 prestige for a brick factory and related supporting tools suitable for ancient use and capable of producing 200,000 bricks per day.

However, in order to avoid the sudden appearance of the brick factory and arouse everyone's suspicion, he spent another 10,000 prestige to exchange for a card that can modify the memory of people within a radius of twenty kilometers of the brick factory, and comes with the skill of using the brick factory.

Since no one in Bactria invented the coal washing method, there were no coal mines in Bactria territory.

Li Xing spent another 20,000 prestige points and exchanged 2,000 tons of coal.

went to 60,000 prestige points all of a sudden, and Li Xing felt distressed in his heart.

However, what made Li Xing happy was that the young adults who had modified their memories nearby did not need to be notified one by one, they were like skilled workers for many years, and they all came to the brick factory and began to work skillfully.

Seeing this scene, Li Xingcai deeply understood why the system was called a super system.

However, it is too expensive to exchange coal, Li Xing wants to find someone to ask if there is a coal mine in Lingwu, if there is, he only needs to exchange a set of coal washing tools suitable for ancient times.

Li Xing picked up a bag of coal from the ground, and then gave Li Gou'er a kick and kicked him awake.

Li Gou'er jumped up from the ground with a fierce spirit, and saw that it was Li Xing who kicked him, so he relaxed his guard.

But when he saw the brick factory, he was obviously stunned, but soon there were some other memories in his mind.

He patted his head and said to himself, "I'm all sleepy, I thought there was no brick factory here!" ”

After Li Xing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh a sigh of relief, and said to Li Gou'er: "Dog, carry these things with the young master to the underground mansion where the young master works in the city, and see if anyone has seen anything like this." ”

"Yes, young master."

Li Gou'er followed Li Xing with a package containing coal and left the brickyard area.

After entering the city and coming to the planned residential area of the new city, the people and homeless people who were in full swing knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up quickly, you don't need to salute when you see this official in the future, everyone works hard to build a house, and strives to complete it within half a year, so that everyone can live in a new house, so as not to be frozen in winter."

"Master Xie."

"Master Xie Qingtian."

As Li Xing asked everyone to get up, everyone shouted thanks.

Li Xing glanced at Li Gou'er, and Li Gou'er understood in seconds.

"Fellow villagers, have you ever seen this thing?"

Everyone who got up looked at Li Gou'er's raised hand in unison.

They all shook their heads in unison.

Apparently none of them have seen it.

However, Li Xing was not disappointed, after all, this is only a part of the people, and the entire new city construction is full of construction sites.

Finally, in a place where a water channel was built, he met an old homeless man, who said that he had seen this thing, it could be burned but poisonous, and his youngest son burned this poison to death.

After listening to the old man's narration, Li Xingxin said, that's right.

Because raw coal contains a lot of impurities and sulfur, if it is not washed, it will be poisoned by sulfur dioxide if it is burned directly.

"Uncle, do you know where those poisons are?"

"Just in our Beiliu Village, there is a black mountain at the east end of the village, after the Dilong the year before last, it is full of this thing, and nothing can be planted on the good land, and it caught up with the great drought, which can make our village miserable."

At this, the old man's eyes showed an aversion to coal.

Li Xing's eyes lit up.

Asked the old man: "Beiliu Village is no longer in Lingwu, right?" ”

"Since the earth dragon turned over, all the people in our village who can run have run, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left, and there has been a two-year drought, and I am the only one who is alive."

The old man was a little sad, and he actually started talking to himself.

The question was not answered, Li Xing was a little speechless.

"Uncle, which county does Beiliu Village belong to?"

Li Xing asked again, and the old man came back to his senses from sadness: "I used to belong to our Lingwu County, but after the famine, I was the only one left, and if I couldn't survive, I became a homeless, and now I don't know where I belong!" ”

Hearing this, Li Xing breathed a sigh of relief, it is good to belong to Lingwu County.

"Then can the old man take the official to the village to have a look?"

"This ......"

The old man was a little embarrassed, not because he didn't want to go, but because he was afraid that he would delay for too long and delay his attendance for five and a half months.

Beiliu Village is not close, and a round-trip ox cart ride will be delayed for at least five days.

If the county magistrate waits for a long time, one of his rooms will be gone.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Xing immediately saw the old man's concerns, and said with a smile: "If you find the black mountain in your village, if you find those black stones, the official will directly reward you with a two-entry courtyard." ”

"My lord, the old man is alone, as long as he has a place to live, he doesn't need a courtyard with two entrances, and one room is enough."

After the old man finished speaking, he knelt down and saluted.

Li Xing hurriedly held him and didn't let him kneel: "My husband is really a sincere person, this official will not only reward you for entering the courtyard twice, but also equip you with a servant to support your old age." ”

"Big ...... Adult ......"

The old man was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and he was about to kneel down again.

Li Xing glanced at Li Gou'er, Li Gou'er hurriedly stopped the old man, and said something in his ear, and the old man stopped moving.

In order to take care of the old man's body, Li Xing went to Beiliu Village this time, and did not choose a horse-drawn carriage, but chose a more stable ox cart.

Jiang Hong came back from his inspection and saw that Li Xing was about to get on the ox cart, so he ran over quickly: "Lao Li, where are you going?" ”

"There is something important, I have to go to Beiliu Village."

Li Xing didn't hide it from Jiang Hong, but Jiang Hong pouted: "That deserted village is far away and broken, what is there to go, except for the bones of the dead, there is not even a grain of grain." ”
