Volume 2 Riding Alone to the End of the World Chapter 23 Back to the City
The thousands of acres of rice fields outside the city of Yanyan City have entered the harvest period, and more than a dozen secretaries in the City Lord's Mansion are working at full strength to assist Xu Yue of the Spirit Plant Institute in harvesting the Spirit Valley.
A hundred large warehouses have all been built, and if they are full, they can reach 10 million catties, and now the inventory in the warehouses has been emptied, just waiting for this new grain to enter the warehouse.
Ning Yu and Fang Zhuojun are also waiting for this day, a thousand acres of land are expected to harvest about eight million catties, in addition to leaving grain and their own food, they should be able to surplus a considerable amount.
Now that Linggu is in a good market, one pound can be sold for eight Dao coins, and after removing the freight and cost, you can earn at least about three Dao coins, as long as the amount is large enough, it is a considerable profit.
Thinking of this, the two of them invariably held a grudge against Wei Wuxian, this guy actually ordered Dongkang to only give one million jin of Linggu per person, they are very clear about the current consumption of the monthly Linggu in Yanyan City, the whole city is about 200,000 catties, and it is only 600,000 catties in one season, excluding the two million catties allocated to the two, there will be at least about six million catties left.
How many coins do you have to earn if you give them words, the more you think about it, the deeper the resentment becomes, and you look at the endless golden rice fields with raging flames burning in your eyes.
At this moment, a group of people in the distance came towards Yanyan City, these people took a look at the Linggu that was being harvested, pointed with a smile, and then headed towards the city gate.
Dongkang soon got the news and hurriedly brought a few clerks over, who were arguing with Kuishu.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Before Kuishu could speak, the leader of the people who came said, "Are you the person in charge here?" We are the representatives sent by the City Lord's Mansion of Swift Wind City, what are you doing here, do you want to prevent us from entering!"
As a Terran Jindan monk with the qualifications of a domain citizen, it was already very good for him to be able to condescend to the place where this group of alien desolate people lived, and he actually dared to obstruct him, which made him very unhappy.
Dongkang said to Sandong: "You take it down, and I will receive these guests." ”
It knew why Kuishu was so excited, because the patriarch of the Black Rock Clan and many other clansmen had been harmed by the people of the City Lord's Mansion of Blastwind City, and Kuishu was already very restrained if he didn't make a move.
The group followed Dongkang into the City Lord's Mansion, and the man at the head said: "You Wei City Lord, why haven't you come out yet, don't you look down on us!"
Dong Kang said: "Of course not, the city lord has something to do, and the daily affairs will be handled by him for the time being." ”
The man at the head looked at him contemptuously and said, "You, have you done the Lord!"
Dong Kang said: "Of course, it is decided by the city lord, but you can pass one or two in the future." ”
"I don't care if you do it or not, your Wei City Lord is not here, in seven days, Blastwind City will send personnel to assess and verify the taxes again, you guys get ready!" he said and ignored Dongkang, and directly got up and walked towards the door with a group of men.
Fang Zhuojun waited for them to go away and said to Dong Kang: "Didn't your city lord explain when he would return?"
Dongkang shook his head.
"And how are you going to deal with that then?"
"I don't know!"
This kind of thing can not be handled by a scrivener in charge of internal affairs, and now it can only take one step at a time.
Ning Yu said: "Is this side also under the Swift Wind City Management?"
Fang Zhuojun said: "This place is located between Swift Wind City, Cold Moon City and Ueno City, originally because of the barrenness, there were no mineral resources in the three areas; ”
His words were really not wrong, in the next three days, Cold Moon City and Ueno City each sent representatives, much the same, both wanting to benefit from it.
Dongkang's head is a little big, and it is already difficult for one family to deal with, and now he has to deal with three at the same time, and his sadness dilutes the joy of Lingtian's harvest, and he doesn't know how to solve this thorny problem.
Seven days later, a team of more than 300 people came to Yanyan City, and they didn't talk nonsense with Dongkang, they directly measured the scale of Lingtian, inquired about the number of residents in the city, etc., and finally said that within three days, they would estimate the taxes that should be paid and the taxes to be paid in the future according to the results of this assessment.
The other two seem to have made an appointment, and they came to assess separately, and they also notified the amount of tax to be paid within three days.
What can Dongkang say, send away the three plague gods, and urgently convene several responsible persons in the city to discuss countermeasures.
Several people in charge were silent, but Kuishu and Sandong knew that this was a matter for the safety of the whole city, and they didn't gag as usual.
Tang Tuan stood on the chair and said, "Let's drag it out first, and wait for the city lord to come back." ”
Nuan Nuan fluttered her wings and flew to the top of its head and said, "Yes, yes, the little man finally said something useful!"
Tang Tuan raised his slender tail to drive it away from the top of his head: "Go, Lao Tzu is unlucky enough, you girl is still standing on top of Lao Tzu's head, it's really unlucky." ”
Nuan Nuan flew to the right shoulder of the three caves and said: "Boom, you don't mind if you look at the three cave generals, the three cave generals have the same courage as the city lord, and at first glance they are people who do great things." ”
Its words smacked the itch of the three holes, and it spit out its big tongue and giggled.
Xu Yue said: "Tang Buzheng is right, it's useless for us to discuss these here, just wait for the city lord to come back." ”
Nanli and Kuishu both nodded yes, Dongkang saw that there was nothing to discuss, so he had to do this first, and was about to end the meeting, when suddenly a secretary ran in from outside in a panic.
Its face sank: "What's the matter, don't you see that there is a meeting now!"
The clerk took a breath and pointed outside, "City. . . The lord of the city is back!"
Outside the scorching city, nearly two hundred people were following Wei Wuxian towards this side, the city gate was wide open, led by Dong Kang, and all the people in charge of the city went out of the city to greet him.
There were four people around Wei Wuxian, and one of them was the most special, his whole body was covered in a black robe, and his face could not be seen.
"Boy Wei, is this what you are talking about in Yanyan City!" Ji Bai looked at the tall city on the opposite side and said.
"Exactly, the place outside is full of spiritual fields, it should have just been harvested, otherwise a few seniors would see the golden scene. Wei Wuxian pointed to the thousand-acre Lingtian Road by the river.
"The scale seems to be not small, but it's not enough to support a few of us!"
"A few seniors, don't worry, I will guarantee the resources you need, as long as a few of them do their duty!" Wei Wuxian didn't argue with him much.
"You kid, are you farting when we talk!, you can rest assured, the hundred-year covenant will never be less than a day!" Shi Chuanyun said.
"Why are your subordinates all people of different races!" Mo Yuzi frowned when he saw Dongkang and the others who came out to greet him in front of the city gate, he was an extremely particular person, and the alien races in the colony were almost like domestic animals to him.
"Under the rule of the juniors, there are only residents, no aliens, as long as they obey the rules and follow the will of the juniors, then they are the same as the Terran monks in my eyes, there is no difference. Wei Wuxian said solemnly.
"Boy, your heart is too big!" Mo Yuzi said staring into his eyes.
"The younger generation has heard such a saying: how big the heart is, how far the road is, the younger generation has to take the road of the avenue, how can the heart not be big!" Wei Wuxian said with a smile.
Mo Yuzi was silent, how big his heart was, how far the road was, if it was said that the farthest road in the world was the Great Dao! He seemed to understand something from it, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.
The man in the black robe suddenly said, "I hope what you said today can be fulfilled as always." ”
"With the seniors urging on the side, the juniors will definitely stick to it. Wei Wuxian bowed and said.
"Let's go! I just want to find a place to sleep now!" said the black-robed man.
Wei Wuxian nodded and walked forward, nearly two hundred people followed, and walked into the city gate under the gaze of countless people up and down the Yanyan City.
