Chapter 430: Planning a New City

Since Jiang Yu returned from the Heavenly Rift Valley, his life has been very peaceful for more than ten days. The injury also recovered extremely quickly, for him, the internal and external injuries suffered from fighting with the war demon were simply too ordinary, far less severe than the injuries he suffered in the past because of the withered Seven Absolute Ones, so he didn't pay attention to that injury at all, the only thing that was a little troublesome was that in the past few days, he couldn't practice and practice swords as usual, but Jiang Yu still found time to manage the things in Muyun City.

Muyun City is now thriving, and it is no longer limited to Muyun City itself, there are more and more people in Muyun City, and it is obviously unrealistic to live in Muyun City. Therefore, these deacons of Muyun City decided to expand the scale of the villages and towns around Muyun City to accept all kinds of refugees from outside, as well as business travelers. But even if it is, it is far from enough for those outsiders to live in. Jiang Yu receives a variety of applications to open up new villages every day. And almost all the land in Muyun City is ownerial, and no one will want to open a new village on anyone's territory, so the disputes arising from this are endlessly crowded with people who come to complain every day, although Jiang Yu has ordered someone to be in charge of these things.

"Look at what to do. Jiang Yu sat in the study and asked Hongrou to throw a large number of documents in front of those deacons in Muyun City, because Muyun City has expanded a lot, and Jiang Yu has also promoted many new people to serve as deacons, on the one hand, to divide the rights of those old deacons, and on the other hand, to make the division of labor more clear. lest they fight against each other, and no one will do anything.

Those documents and records are all kinds of disputes, as well as the growing population of Muyun City. Those deacons looked at each other, and after about a quarter of an hour, they heard a deacon surnamed Zhang say: "Lord City Lord, I see that the reason for the matter is also clear, that is, there is too little land, too many people, and the land of our Muyun City is limited. I think it would be better to limit the influx of refugees from other places. ”

Before Jiang Yu could say anything, he heard another deacon surnamed Shen stand up directly and said, "It's the same as all living beings, why favor one over the other." Then he looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Lord City, I think that the influx of population is a great opportunity for my Muyun City, and as for the land issue, it is not impossible to solve." ”

"How can you solve it? you can't live on the sea!" said Deacon Zhang, who was just a little bit of a man, with a blank look. Jiang Yu looked at them and knew it in his heart. Xin said that this Deacon Zhang was a native of Muyun City, and he originally had an opinion on the crowding of Muyun City caused by the influx of outsiders. And Deacon Shen in the back was originally an outsider, to be precise, he was a member of the Snow Immortal Sect, he was discovered by Senior Sister Yunqing, and he had a certain talent, but unfortunately he was weak in literature and literature, and he was not suitable for the kind of life that the Snow Immortal Sect was in, so Yun Qing recommended him to Jiang Yu's command, and he also knew the relationship between Jiang Yu and the Snow Immortal Sect. When he arrived at Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu asked him to be in charge of the lawsuit, and to put it bluntly, it was these people who came to sue him, and they all dealt with him. It's not big, it's not big.

Deacon Zhang continued: "Even if the Great Yan Kingdom gave us the land before, except for the hills that can barely be mined, the others are almost useless wasteland, if we don't restrain the influx of population, I'm afraid that sooner or later there will be a big mess." ”

After Deacon Zhang's words were finished, those local deacons all nodded in agreement, Jiang Yu listened to these words, he was actually a little unhappy in his heart, if it was before, he might also agree with these deacons, but the Heavenly Rift Valley and his party made him see the suffering of refugees, if it is said that restricting their influx and killing them, it is actually almost the same.

Jiang Yu thought for a while, looked at Deacon Shen who was squeezed and didn't have a chance to speak, and said, "Deacon Shen, you said that the land problem can be solved, so how can it be solved?"

Deacon Shen was overjoyed when he heard Jiang Yu call his name, so he said: "The wasteland is vast, but the land used is very small, but the land in the west is inhabited, and most of the land in the east, so far, is still ownerless, and those lands are in front of us, why don't we just occupy them directly?"

Deacon Shen's serious words caused a burst of laughter, and he saw a bearded deacon standing up, it was the patriarch of the Ma family in Muyun City, because he was familiar with the terrain and history of Huangzhou, so Jiang Yu asked him to be a consultant. Just listen to him and say: "A scholar is a scholar, who doesn't know what you said? But have you ever thought about why no one has occupied the Huangzhou for so many years and thousands of years?

"I would like to hear advice. Deacon Shen, who was criticized, looked at Deacon Ma a little unconvinced.

Deacon Ma twisted his beard, looked at Jiang Yu, and said, "Lord City, if you don't bother, I'm going to talk about the ancients." ”

Jiang Yu smiled when he heard this, and said, "I want to hear it too." Deacon Ma coughed, and then spoke eloquently.

It turned out that after Li Muyun created Muyun City in the past, his descendants continued to explore, and later there was such a large territory as today's Huangzhou, most of those demons were eliminated by Li Muyun and his disciples, but there was still a small part hidden in the eastern mountains of Huangzhou. In later generations, the people of the barren state also decided to open up to the east, but every time they opened up to the east, they would fail because of the obstruction of the descendants of these demons.

Deacon Ma said everything that needed to be said, turned his eyes to the scholarly Deacon Shen, and said, "Deacon Shen may not know the horror of those demon beasts in the east, but this is understandable. Deacon Ma didn't continue, but many deacons were snickering, and one of Deacon Ma's words was, of course, ridiculing this Deacon Shen as just a scholar, who only knew books, but didn't know the world.

Jiang Yu didn't care what these deacons were doing, because Deacon Shen's words made him a little moved. The large area in the east is said to be a wild land that no one dares to touch, but the wild land also represents the meaning of undeveloped, not to mention anything else, all kinds of mineral deposits, it is estimated that there are countless of them, not to mention that after the pioneering, the most poor can also be cultivated.

"What others can't do, we don't necessarily can't do. Jiang Yu spoke, and the scene was silent. Many of the deacons looked at each other, wondering what the young and bold city lords around them were thinking.

Jiang Yu thought for a while, and then said: "The matter of pioneering, put aside first, I have a big event to announce now." The piece of land that the Great Yan Kingdom ceded to us before was almost a thousand miles away from our Muyun City, and I decided to build another new city on that wild land, leaning on the coast, what do you think?"

In a word, everyone was in an uproar.

What is the concept of a new city? It is different from ordinary villages and towns, and it is also built by the sea, so it must be a city dominated by commerce and trade.

"Lord Castle, I don't think it's appropriate. "It was Deacon Ma who spoke. When Jiang Yu heard this, he said, "What's wrong?"

Deacon Ma twisted his beard and said, "I don't doubt your financial resources and determination to build a new city, Lord of the City, but building a new city is not just a matter of huge investment and huge cost. The most important thing is that the land that can be cultivated is the source of life for the people, even if the new city is built, but the wasteland cannot be cultivated, and the people at the bottom cannot survive, then the city is just a dead city, and no amount of money can fill it. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded, and said, "Patriarch Ma is reasonable, but I have other ideas. Jiang Yu thought for a while, and then said: "That wasteland is indeed uncultivable, but as far as I know, the other side of the end of the wasteland is the wild land you said before, the deep mountains and dense forests that the people of the wasteland dare not enter...... Do you have any questions?"

Jiang Yu's words were shocked again, and what surprised them was not Jiang Yu's determination to build a city, but Jiang Yu's words, which were equivalent to announcing that he had decided to open up to the east and open up the wasteland all the way. And it's already decided, otherwise the new city would be meaningless.

"I don't have much experience in building a new city, do you have any good candidates to recommend?" Jiang Yu said, and the people below immediately talked about it, and several people stood up and recommended themselves. There were several of them, who had just opposed the pioneering. The reason for this is obvious. Jiang Yu's meaning is to find an agent who is fully responsible for the construction of the new city. The construction of a new city is a huge fat shortage, whether it is labor, or material procurement, ship scheduling, new city planning, etc., etc., are huge.

Jiang Yu looked at those people who were recommended by Mao Sui, his eyes locked on the scholar Deacon Shen, and said, "Deacon Shen, I asked you to build this new city, are you sure?"

Jiang Yu's words, the study fell silent for a while, for them, Jiang Yu's decision was almost crazy, and it was a joke to let a scholar pick such a beam.

"I ...... I have no experience in building a city. Deacon Shen scratched his head and said.

Jiang Yu swept around with his eyes and said, "You don't have to worry about this, none of the people here have any experience." If not, you can learn. Jiang Yu knew in his heart that the construction of a new city in this barren state was still a very new thing. On top of the barren state, a city was recently built, almost a hundred years ago. He didn't use a native of Muyun City, but an outsider, for a simple reason. Because these deacons in Muyun City are all people with roots and families here, let them build a new city, and if they don't do it, it will become a private city for some families, which is not allowed. And Deacon Shen, as an outsider, does not have so many things, and if he is given a heavy responsibility, he will definitely devote his heart and soul to doing this.

Jiang Yu looked at Deacon Shen, who didn't speak, thought of something, and said: "You don't have to worry about the lawsuit, I'll find someone again, from today onwards, you will plan the new city for me completely, ask for money for money, and ask people for people." ”

At this point, Deacon Shen stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you for the trust of the City Lord, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the City Lord." "Now for Deacon Shen, everything is like a dream, who would have thought that a junior boy from a foreign country could be entrusted with such an important task as building a new city. Many deacons, looking at Deacon Shen, all cast envious glances at him. Some people have simply congratulated him, which is completely different from the attitude towards him just now.
