After the Imperial Dragon Clan successfully gained control of the area along the Three Rivers Estuary, under the planning of the Young Dragon Lord, they began to build residential houses on the old ruins. Of course, the Holy Hyana Church, which holds the military and political power of the Dragon Kingdom, will not only allocate funds from the treasury, but also mobilize its followers to help the people of the Dragon Clan build their homes.

Due to the church's concerns about the Young Dragon Lord, the little dragon girl Alanjiyi became the agent of the bright face, and came forward to complete his series of plans for the Young Dragon Lord. The little dragon girl represented the royal dragon clan to connect with the church, and everyone had no opinions.

The little dragon girl came to the Cathedral of the Holy Hyattana with the hammer and the armor maker, and came to the two great elders to receive the allotment. Wen Chengzi asked Aran Jiyi with concern, "What is your biggest difficulty right now?"

"The biggest problem we face now is the lack of craftsmen!" she replied, "The Imperial Dragon Clan has a small population, and most of the young and strong men have died in the mines, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. There is a shortage of stonemasons, carpenters, and bricklayers, so they can only simply build houses in the ruins of the former Dragon City to shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Wen Chengzi said: "Most of the people of the Royal Dragon Clan live in caves in the Qianlong Valley, and now that they want to move out of the valley, they must not live so poorly anymore. The affairs of the craftsmen should be left to the church to solve, and the most important thing for you now should be to reclaim the fields. If you don't sow in the spring, how can you harvest in the fall?"

The little dragon girl said gratefully, "Of course, it would be the best if the Royal Dragon Clan could get the support of the church!

"Let's go, let's go to the vault and withdraw the money!"

Xiaolongnu followed Wen Chengzi and a dozen followers into the vault, only to see that it was full of gold bricks and neatly placed treasure chests.

Wen Chengzi pointed to the area where the gold bricks were placed and said, "More than half of the gold here is seized from Xianning Town, and some of it is income from salt mines and Longjing iron ore. He pointed to the area where the chests were kept, "Here are the taxes paid by the inhabitants and merchants, and the chests are full of gold, silver, and copper coins, each containing ten thousand coins. ”

In the end, the disciples had the disciples carry away five boxes of gold coins and fifty boxes of silver coins, worth a total of one million silver coins. As for copper coins, most of them are circulating in the market, so they are not distributed.

If all the million silver dollars were used to build a small city and houses, it would basically be enough, but the Young Dragon Lord obviously had his plans. He instructed Xiaolongnu to build a private house first after getting the money, and not to build the city wall in a hurry. Alan Jiyi didn't understand and asked, "If you don't build a city wall, won't it become a small village?"

Lord Shaolong replied: "There is Pingwen Pass in the east, Dingwu Pass in the northwest, Hekou Town in the south, and the holy city of the church in the north, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to build a city wall now. ”

"Then what is the rest of the money that the Young Dragon Lord is going to use it for?"

The young dragon lord replied very affirmatively: "When all the craftsmen have arrived, build three bridges on the Sancha River." ”

"Build a bridge?" Alan Jiyi didn't understand why the Young Dragon Lord would spend such a sum of money.

"That's right!" said the young dragon lord, "as long as the three bridges are built, it will be convenient for the knights to cross the river." With the bridge, the knights did not have to cross the river with a long detour of the fords, nor did they have to lead their horses to the boat with difficulty. ”

Alanjiyi suddenly realized, but he was suspicious, "After having the bridge, it is convenient for the knights to cross the river, but it is also convenient for the enemy to cross the river and attack the Dragon City!"

"You don't have to worry about this, the master has his own way!" said the young dragon lord confidently, "As long as you follow my plan, these bridges will not only facilitate the knights to cross the river, but also become military fortresses and fortresses." ”

This made Xiaolongnu even more tempting, "It's just a few bridges, how can it become a military fortress?"

"It's not easy! Just build a few bridgeheads!" he said, "This will not only defend against foreign invasion, but will also become a way to make money and recover the cost of repairing bridges." ”

The little dragon girl stared at the young dragon lord with big eyes, "The young dragon lord is saying that a checkpoint is set up at the head of the bridge to collect tolls from pedestrians crossing the river from the bridge?"

"You're only half right!" the Young Dragon Lord sneered, "Yes, the fee is charged, but it is not a charge to pedestrians. ”

Ah Lan Jiyi was completely blinded by these strange ideas of the Young Dragon Lord, and she asked without even thinking about it, "If you don't charge pedestrians, then who do you charge to?"

"Charge the horses. ”

"Will the horse give money?"

The young dragon lord held his forehead with a smile, "The owner of the horse will give money!"

Alanjiyi patted her head, "Oh...... The meaning of the young dragon lord is that instead of charging pedestrians who walk across the bridge, they charge knights. But is that reasonable?"

"What's unreasonable?" said the young dragon lord, "if the knights can afford to buy horses, are they afraid that they can't afford to pay a little toll? Even if they don't want to spend that unjust money, they can take a detour! If they want to take a shortcut, they have to pay the same price, not to mention that the money collected is the money for the construction of the bridge." The advantage of this is that it not only brings convenience to everyone, but also does not cause a financial burden to the Dragon Kingdom, which is simply a plan that is too good to be true!"

Hearing what the Young Dragon Lord said, Alanjiyi also felt that this plan was simply too good. The decision was immediately decided, "Then what are you waiting for! Let's do it quickly!"

The Church of the Holy Theravada hired craftsmen, but the construction was not in the old ruins, but in preparation for the construction of a bridge at the mouth of the three rivers. When the news reached the Holy Therapeutic Cathedral, Wu Chengzi was furious and declared that he would not arrest the young dragon master who had embezzled public funds and bring him to the Holy Theravada Cathedral for trial.

What made Wu Chengzi even more angry was that the matter of the Royal Dragon Clan's coming out of the valley to enclose the land in the Sanhekou area was originally planned by the Young Dragon Lord. This made Wu Chengzi and the paladins feel even more indignant, and they wanted to cure the bastard thing of the Young Dragon Lord. The situation was so bad that even Wen Chengzi couldn't persuade him.

At the construction site at the mouth of the Three Rivers, some craftsmen were responsible for digging rocks, some craftsmen were responsible for cutting wood and erecting frames, and some craftsmen were responsible for iron nails and iron tools. The construction site is unusually lively, the sound of the knocking of the mountain and the chisel of the stone, and the sound of the horn of transporting the stone with rolling wood, the sound is in the ears.

The most incredible thing is that two giant dragons also appeared at the construction site. I saw that the claws of the two dragons were grasping a very thick rope, and under the rope was actually a rectangular boulder with a concave and convex shape. The dragon lord was standing on the boat and commanding the two dragons, and there were seven or eight craftsmen on the pontoon, who were holding the boulders that had been hoisted by the two dragons and installing them on the piers.

Wu Chengzi led the top ten paladins to stop work in Sanhekou, but after seeing this scene, his attitude became less tough than before. Wen Chengzi sighed after arriving: "This kid, his ability to steal beams and change pillars is not ordinary!"

Wu Chengzi replied coldly: "That money was originally used for the Imperial Dragon Clan's artificial city, how could he squander it so much." ”

On the other hand, he said, "Perhaps, it is also right to build a bridge here." ”

The Young Dragon Lord was brought to the two Great Elders by the Ten Paladins, and the Little Dragon Girl sweated for him in her heart. Unexpectedly, the young dragon lord greeted the two great elders with a hippie smile on his face. Of course, Wu Chengzi didn't give the young dragon lord a good face, but Wen Chengzi's attitude looked very easy-going.

"Young Dragon Lord," Wen Chengzi spoke first, "Those funds are all for the people of the Royal Dragon Clan to build towns, how can the Young Dragon Lord be diverted to repair bridges?"

The Young Dragon Lord replied: "The Imperial Construction of the Town is a huge project, and in terms of the current financial, material, and human resources of the Imperial Dragon Clan, it is simply overwhelming. As long as the people of the Royal Dragon Clan have a house to live in, there is no need to build a city wall now. ”

"Isn't it also a huge project to build a bridge that spans more than a mile?" asked Wen Chengziwen.

Lord Shaolong said: "In my opinion, the need to repair the bridge is a little higher. And it is not too late to build the city wall according to the situation in the future. ”

Although Wen Chengzi had previously instructed Wu Chengzi not to say too much in front of the Young Dragon Lord, Wu Chengzi couldn't help but say: "In the old man's opinion, the Young Dragon Lord is simply fooling around! In the final analysis, you are embezzling public funds." ”

"The money has already been allocated to the Imperial Dragon Clan!" said the Young Dragon Lord, "How to spend it is the matter of the Imperial Dragon Clan, and there is no need for the church to point fingers! Besides, is the bridge being built for the convenience of the young master? If the young master wants to cross the river, he can just fly over on a dragon, so why bother! However, if those who ride horses want to cross the river, can they also fly over?"

"Ah...... This ......"

Lord Shaolong handed over a scroll to Wen Chengzi and said, "As long as three bridges are built on the Sancha River, whether it is to Hebei, Hedong, or Hexi, the carriages and horses can be unimpeded. At that time, the salt merchants will no longer have to worry about transporting salt. ”

Wen Chengzi unfolded the scroll and saw that it was a map of the Sancha River Basin, and he said while looking at the map: "It is naturally good to have bridges, but to build three bridges on the Sancha River, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed should not be underestimated!"

"What's the big deal!" said the young dragon lord, "it's just a little more manpower and material resources! As for the money for repairing the bridge, it can still be recovered." ”

After the young dragon lord told Wen Chengzi about his idea of collecting tolls from the knights, Wen Chengzi directly clapped his hands and said, "In this way, it will not only bring convenient transportation, but also promote the rapid development of commerce. ”

Wu Chengzi put forward a different view, believing that the construction of the three bridges would facilitate the enemy's invasion of the Hetao area. When the Young Dragon Lord said that he would build a bridgehead to increase his defenses, Wu Chengzi also agreed to Wen Chengzi's proposal and asked the church to do its best to support the Young Dragon Lord to build three bridges on the Sancha River.

With the support of the church, the number of people who originally built the bridge increased from more than 1,000 to more than 20,000. This is arguably the largest construction project since the reign of the Imperial Dragon Kingdom. Of the more than 20,000 people, more than 10,000 were basically Hinayana followers, and only eight or nine thousand were strong men from nearby towns.

Alan Jiyi clearly felt that this time of the Young Dragon Lord's toss did not make the relationship between the church and him stiff, but instead cohesive. Finally, under the mobilization of Wen Chengzi, the construction of a new Dragon City in the old ruins was also put on the agenda.

In the end, the Young Dragon Lord and the Holy Theravada Church reached a consensus, and the Young Dragon Lord and the Royal Dragon Clan completely withdrew from Hanoi City, where the Holy Theravada Church was located, in exchange for Hekou Town. After that, the Holy Hyatana Church changed the name of Xianning Town to Salt Spring Town, and Hanoi City to Xianning City. And the Young Dragon Lord also revoked Hekou Town and merged it into the Dragon City under construction. However, since the Imperial Dragon Clan did not have an army, it was still protected by the armed forces of the Church.

According to the plan of the Young Dragon Lord, the outer castle of the new Imperial Dragon City will be built along the north bank of the Sanhekou, and the former Hekou Town will be used as the gate of Weng City due south of the new Imperial Dragon City. Opposite the bridgehead on the north bank of the two bridges to the east and west of the river, is the side gate on the left and right sides of the gate of the south city of Guo Weng.

The little dragon girl once again brought more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver from Xianning City, and she asked the Iron Hammer and the armorer and others to move the treasure chests into the temporary lord hall of the young dragon lord. She reported to the Young Dragon Lord: "The Great Elder said that this time, three bridges and one city were started at the same time, and the church has already taken out all the taxes and salt mine revenues. This is the last batch of funds!"

The Young Dragon Lord suddenly asked, "How much is the reserve of Dragon Crystal Iron Ore?"

"Over the past year or so, the amount of Longjing iron ore mined is estimated to be 500,000 catties. She replied.

The Young Dragon Lord shouted to the hammer and the armorer, "Both uncles are here, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Iron Hammer said, "Young Dragon Lord, if there is anything you decide directly, you don't need to discuss it with us." ”

And the armorer asked, "Young Dragon Lord, do you have any new plans?"

"Well, I'm going to build a blacksmith shop to make armor, and then I'm going to build a coinage. Bring the Dragon Crystal Iron Ore we have stored here, and the two of you will take the lead in making weapons and armor to sell them to fill the treasury. ”

The armorer said: "But the young dragon lord, the church has a rule that prohibits the sale of the Dragon Wing Steel Sword and the Dragon Crystal Mountain Wen Armor to the outside. Isn't it against the rules that we do that?"

"Rules are meant to be broken, not followed. The Young Dragon Lord said very domineeringly, "Even if you want to follow the rules, you must abide by the rules I have set." Got it?"

Both of them nodded in unison, "Understood, Young Dragon Lord." ”

The young dragon lord said, "Well, you two will do your best to run the blacksmith shop and the mint, and I will do it myself." ”

"Yes!"

After the hammer and the armor maker left, the young dragon lord suddenly said to Alanjiyi, "Why haven't you seen Zhu Rong Panruo during this time?"

"Little aunt, she...... She's back out of the state!"

"Why didn't she come to say goodbye to us!"

"This is what she left behind!" said Alanjiyi, handing a tattered turban to the Young Dragon Lord, "She said that this is the one she wrapped when she first met the Young Dragon Lord. She also said that the Young Dragon Lord was busy with business, and she was inconvenient to disturb, so she didn't come to say goodbye to the Young Dragon Lord!"

"It's too dangerous for her to go back and investigate that incident alone!, why don't you stop her?" asked the young dragon master.

"She said she didn't want to trouble us!"

"Let's go!"

"Where to go?"

"Leave the state!"
