Chapter 337: Building a New Town Together
The intermittent stranding and dredging on the Yangtze River lasted for six hours. The people on the bank of the Yangtze River and on the boat of the Flying Fish Lady watched all the members of the Wumeng working on the Yangtze River all day in a demented manner, and they were not tired at all.
Every once in a while, there will be a little bit of a problem with the quasi-magic weapon.
Sometimes a bracket breaks, and the Yin generals on the ship work together to grab the broken bracket and continue to work with only arm strength to support the quasi-magic weapon.
Sometimes the tail of the quasi-magic weapon detaches from the bracket and becomes a monster that spews mud everywhere. At this time, a huge yellow crane will fall from the sky, stand on the shore, stretch out its head and grab the tail of the quasi-magic weapon, and forcibly aim it at the embankment to spit out the mud dragon.
When the silted delta is partially cleared on the water, the quasi-magic weapon will be pulled to the bottom of the water to continue dredging. At this time, countless Craftsman Workshop disciples and Yin generals would jump into the water and fix the suction port of the quasi-magic weapon under the water, so that it could continue to work.
By the time the sun was set, half of the entire python body of the quasi-magic weapon had been immersed in the river.
The earth inside the embankment was piled up and almost overflowed over the embankment.
While there was still the light of dusk, Lei Changye commanded the spirit pets to start working. Zixin's Xuanwu was the first to strike. It shrunk into a giant turtle shell, and was manipulated by Zixin to roll back and forth on the silt surface of the embankment like the wind. Relying on its huge body and heavy weight, it crushed all the silt in the embankment.
Then, all the exorcists of the Shuwu League smiled and drove the spirit pets to rush up the embankment, followed Xuanwu and trampled on the mud, everyone splashed with mud, and also relied on the running and weight of the spirit pets to trample the mud.
In the end, Liu Xiu and Zhang Jiao couldn't help but order their spirit pets to participate. They all realized that this was a good opportunity to gather merit and increase popularity. Under the attention of Yangzhou, participating in the construction of the new city has invisibly given them the identity of a changer.
Su Daji and the others were scratching their hearts when they watched from the sidelines. They just don't have a spiritual pet, or they would have gotten into it earlier.
The pharmacist on the ship of the Flying Fish Lady also felt regret in his heart, if Xiao Yu could participate at this time, at least it would be of great benefit to its cultivation. This is a merit that changes the world and the earth, and it is infinitely useful if it is touched at all.
Just when he was regretting, suddenly, he saw a giant bird with a silver head and colorful feathers flying over from outside Yangzhou City, circling back and forth over the Flying Fish Lady's boat.
"Xiaoyu!?" the pharmacist couldn't help but exclaim with joy. When he arranged the Wumeng to seize the master, he thought that it would be extremely dangerous after this fight, so he entrusted Xiaoyu to a secret stronghold of the Demon God Sect. Unexpectedly, now this Xiaoyu was attracted to the Flying Fish Lady's boat. Could it also feel the call of merit?
"Pharmacist, Xiaoyu is here, do you want it to do something?" Ye Luoting's voice came from the pharmacist's side.
"Whew!" the pharmacist lowered his head, he should have guessed that this was Lei Changye's arrangement. Ye Luoting is already Lei Changye's person now, and she must have received an order to summon Xiaoyu to the ship to find him and sell a favor.
"Is it Xiao Yu that Lei Changye asked you to find?" The pharmacist didn't need to say such an obvious thing, but he subconsciously wanted to resist.
"The alliance leader said that he needs help, and the more the better. Since your Xiaoyu is here, and you yourself are working here, why do you have to do something?" Ye Luoting said with a smile.
"I forgot. The pharmacist suddenly remembered that he had promised that as long as Lei Changye could help Aunt Tanuki find the way to become an adult, he would work for Lei Changye. Promises still have to be kept. The pharmacist sighed helplessly. Although he knew that this was Lei Changye's means, he was powerless to refuse.
"Xiaoyu, go and help. The pharmacist used the sound transmission to point at the flying Jin Que Xiaoyu and called.
Xiao Yu chirped happily, flapped her wings and flew into the embankment, trampling the mud with the busy spirit pets. Its weight immediately sent it into an inch-deep mud. It screamed and rolled around in the mud and had a great time.
When it was dark, Lei Changye ordered the Flying Fish Lady to light up the gold wire lantern on the boat. These lamps are all lights made by the fire rat golden retriever through the blessing of charms, which are not only bright, but also safe to use, and do not need to cover the lampshade, saving a lot of money.
At this moment, the dredging in the Yangtze River is basically completed. The tide rolls in and meets the river here, and the pontoon boats in the middle of the river sway back and forth.
Lei Changye issued an order, and countless floating gold wire lamps flew down from the boat of the Flying Fish Lady to illuminate the river. The Yin General and the disciples of the Craftsman's Workshop began to disassemble the quasi-magic weapon on the pontoon's bracket and receive it onto a huge cargo ship.
The iron chain bridge between the pontoons was retracted, the anchor was quickly raised, and dozens of boats took advantage of the tide to drive into the ferry, which once again triggered the earth-shattering cheers of the people of Yangzhou.
They are finally seeing the benefits of dredging the Yangtze River estuary. The tide washed into the harbor, which meant that ships could call at the harbour. People who rely on water for food all year round are naturally aware of the huge economic benefits involved.
Guazhou Port, resurrected!
From today, Yangzhou is expected to regain its former status as an international city. Moreover, in the east of Yangzhou, a new town and even a new port can be built to increase the throughput of Yangzhou goods.
The revitalization of Yangzhou in the future can be foreseen even by the people.
The Flying Fish Lady was also full of admiration and cheers on the boat. Countless sons and daughters of wealthy merchants have begun to actively consider how to expand their family's interests in this new town and new port. Right next to the pharmacist, there are already countless business collaborations taking shape. Exuberant life ripples across the deck.
Every rich and noble son looks at the east of Yangzhou, like a hungry wolf grabbing food. Originally, the pharmacist thought that these rich and noble sons were just a group of people who were drunk and dreamed of death in the game, but it turned out that under reasonable stimulation, they could still burst out with such a strong enterprising spirit and execution.
All of this comes from Lei Changye's earth-shattering move under the gaze of the entire Yangzhou.
The pharmacist somewhat understood the reason why Lei Changye was so high-profile. He needs to let this show-changing show boost the morale of the entire Su Yang, and even slightly change the mental outlook of the people here, so as to ignite the popularity and form a positive atmosphere for his next plan.
Can he grasp people's hearts in such detail? The pharmacist felt a heartfelt awe.
Of course he didn't know that these things that Lei Changye did were routine operations in the Blue Sea Star Plane. Every time there is a big project in any country, there will be a live broadcast covering the whole country, which can make everyone feel involved and boost the morale of the country.
Lei Changye also wanted to achieve this effect, at least to change the spiritual outlook of Jiangnan, sweep away the decadent atmosphere of the late Tang Dynasty, and form a new atmosphere, so as to prevent the powerful and powerful people who hold power and officials from breaking the pot and making evil deeds that aggravate the situation.
He wanted to use Yangzhou as the starting point for the new world he wanted to build.
At this time, on the embankment, through the efforts of nearly thirty spirit pets plus a yellow crane and a Tianwu, the ground of the entire embankment was flattened and steady.
Lei Changye looked at Xiaoyu happily on the embankment and other spirit pets screaming and frolicking, and he was secretly proud in his heart. No matter how much the pharmacist resisted, he eventually fell into it. Xiao Yu has been integrated into the spirit pet family, can its owner still go?
At this time, Zifeng and Zihuang were under the manipulation of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua to sprinkle double meteor fire showers on thousands of tilts of the ground, and the wet silt was dried by the flames and turned into solid land.
Lei Changye saw Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua concentrating on manipulating the spirit pet, and he was secretly happy: This is the trend of returning to the heart.
Liu Xiu, the Krypton Emperor, can recognize him as the main character, which is too helpful to him. When Jiangnan recovers from the devastation of the general trend of the world, and Yangzhou's business rises, he can brush the jade talisman to collect money again, and then he will spend the money on himself.
It seems that Huang Chao has lost all its weight in Liu Xiu's heart.
Now, the only headache is that the pharmacist and Liu Xiu are not very good at dealing with each other, but Lei Changye feels that the contradiction between these two is not irreconcilable, and there is a high probability that they will eventually look at each other and smile at each other.
In any case, the dredging operation at the mouth of the Yangtze River was a great success, and the results far exceeded his expectations, and the construction of a new town and a new port was to begin. He expected that a new wave of leeks should come over to him on their own for him to harvest.
In the early morning of the next day, Lei Changye got up early, and together with Ge Shangchuan, he led the Bashu craftsmen of the entire Yangzhou into the new land formed by the embankment and began the construction of the new town.
In the planning of these thousands of dumps of land, Lei Changye had already repeatedly studied Mo painting with Ge Shangchuan. This will be the second new town in the Shining Gold Town mode of Lei Changye. At the heart of the town is a huge martial arts arena that will be the venue for the annual Lei Gong Opera Championship Finals.
Surrounding this martial arts viewing hall are four painting workshops open to members of Lei Gong Opera, and all of them are private rooms for painters.
After Xuanjin's reminder, Lei Changye realized that Lei Gong's play was just a game for the rich and noble, and the common people had no chance to contact it, and without the foundation of the people, this game would be lonely one day sooner or later.
So he opened the Long Night Card Club next to the painting workshop, relying on Lei Gong to gather the popularity of the people, and also opened a folk Lei Gong Card Qualifying Competition, and linked with Lei Gong Opera. The qualifying matches of the Lei Gong card are divided into nine grades according to the ranks, and the highest rank is the legendary player.
Anyone who reaches this season's Legend rank will have a membership to the next year's Thunder Play.
Around the painting workshop and the long night card club, there are Shuxiu snack shops, Shuxiu restaurants, Suzhou embroidery workshops and shops established for major commercial banks in Yangzhou, waiting for the entry of large merchants.
All the inns here were built by Lei Changye, specifically for Lei Gongju players and traders from all over the world to provide a place to stay. Around the periphery of the town are a cluster of dwellings built for the townspeople.
To the south of Newtown, he would build a harbor to moor the Flying Fish and merchant ships from all over the country.
When this new town is built, the north and south will be connected, and the department stores will gather, and the grand scene of the intersection of China and foreign countries will appear here.
