Start a city building order

Chapter 127 Kusi

Before dawn, Chen Qing woke up. The bed was very warm, mainly because it was comfortable. In this late autumn season, one must have great perseverance to get up.

But in the end, he sat up carefully and put on his clothes.

"Officer, let me serve you dinner."

A soft voice came from the bed, Chen Qing's heart felt hot, and she had beautiful thoughts, but more importantly, she felt comfortable, it felt so good to have a home.

"Don't be busy, you can sleep for a while, even His Highness has been so busy these days, as a subordinate, you can't relax."

Having said that, Chen Qing still went to the bed to warm his hands that were about to freeze, and finally left with a serious face.

Out of the door, there is a courtyard with two entrances, very spacious, with a groom, a gate, two servants, and four guards. This is Chen Qing's treatment as the four giants of Xishan County, and it is specially approved by His Royal Highness. .

As for that one, Chen Qing chose it himself in response to His Royal Highness' call a few days ago.

At that time, His Royal Highness even wanted to lead by example, how could this be done?
He, Sun Jin, Xing Bin, Zhou Yue, as well as the chief officers of their respective departments and the generals of the Baizhan Battalion knelt and kowtowed desperately, and only then did they persuade His Royal Highness to take back his order.

In order to relieve His Highness's worries, he and Xing Bin took the lead to pick out two troubled women in the refugee camp. They dare not say that they are beautiful, but they are also beautiful.

They lead by example, each division's chief officer, junior official, each battalion commander, school lieutenant, and partial general actively participated, and finally beheaded the soldiers above the tenth rank.

It sounds happy, but it's actually miserable.

As a state city, Lucheng had a population of more than 20 people. After the city was broken by the Black Tooth Legion, except for 7 to [-] people who escaped and the [-] people who were taken as slaves, the rest were all killed.

And here, there are nearly [-] women alone.

These are all the black-toothed barbarians are going to take back to enjoy.

Their families were already ruined, and the one they rescued was a walking corpse. To this day, there are as many as a thousand people who can't think of committing suicide.

So what else to do?
People always have to live.

"My lord, where are we going today?"

The guard brought the horse and asked.

"Go to Shanzui first."

The wind lamps were on on the street, but there were already many pedestrians. The breakfast stalls and tofu stalls on the street corners were steaming, and there was a smell of food permeating the street.

Chen Qing and four guards led the horses and walked over, and saw that most of the people were sitting in the small breakfast stall.

He was not surprised, he found a place to sit down, while the four guards stood, but soon a waiter brought some hot bowls of tofu nao, covered with green shallots and coriander, and some steamed buns. It feels very comfortable.

"I'm talking about Chen Qing, what happened to you Kusi, half of the carts of the chariot department have been requisitioned by you, good guy, you have a big face."

At the opposite table of diners, someone yelled while eating meat buns.

Chen Qing took a glance, drank a bowl of soy milk in one go, and then said with a smile: "Fuck off, even if this matter comes to His Highness, you have to endure it. Food is what matters to the people. These days, rice and wheat are in the market." The most important stage of the warehouse, if you don’t hurry up and enter the warehouse, wait for the war to start, let the enemy burn it, and you will have no place to cry.”

"Chen Qing, how long will it take for the grain to be put into storage?" Someone asked again, but it was Wang Dahammer of the Artisan Division. On the right track, the ore produced every day has to be transported to the furnace area, and then the produced iron ingots and steel ingots are transported to the hydraulic forging hammer in Shanzui. At least one hundred carts are required to meet the demand every day.

"It will take five or six days, but it's really not that I, Kusi, didn't do anything. It's just that there is too much food. Except for Wangjia Town, the food from Lu County has to be rushed over, and there are also those from the west. Every day so much food is taken by water, going to Dongning Prefecture, this year Lucheng was destroyed, His Highness took pity on the people, bought it at a low price, and almost half of the food in Lucheng came together."

When Chen Qing said this, enough was enough, even though the diners in this stall were basically colleagues with their own departments.

As the four giants in Xishan County, he certainly knows the reason. In the past two days, the price of houses in Xishan County has more than doubled. In fact, it is some businessmen in Lucheng who have escaped the raging black-toothed barbarians. The old men are buying houses in real estate, even the old man Lu Huaien is included.

There is no way, Lu Qilin was defeated, and the chance of Lu's resurgence is almost slim. Is the glory of the family important, or the life of the family?
In fact, they wanted to flee to the west, but they heard that the Black Tooth Legion was raging in Xu City not far away, so they immediately fled back in fright.

In any case, His Royal Highness Qi Wang of Dayan can at least beat the black-toothed barbarians, can't he?

Especially seeing the densely packed catapults and eight-ox crossbows above the city of Xishan County, the sense of security that arises spontaneously will not be deceiving.

For these people, His Royal Highness is very kind. On the one hand, he bought food and various goods at a 'fair price', and on the other hand, he allowed them to buy land and houses in Xishan County. Well, this land refers to land in the city, not farmland. Anyway No purchase required.

So this wave of many people made a fortune.

But Chen Qing knew that His Royal Highness would rely on the Dongshan Fortress to build a new city of Xishan, which together with the old city of Xishan would form a new city.

However, few people know about this matter. The main thing that the four giants are currently busy with is this.

After paying the bill in a hurry, Chen Qing mounted his horse with four guards and rushed out of Xishan County to Shanzui District.

Not long ago, this place was a desolate place, with very little farmland, because the land is low-lying and the rivers meet, which is prone to flooding.

However, since the construction of three dams at Shanzui, the accumulation of flowing water, unified management, and the installation of more than a dozen hydraulic forging hammers and more than a dozen hydraulic mills, the place has become too lively.

Today, the area west of Shanzui is the smelting workshop of the Craftsman Division. There are [-] smelting furnaces lined up that emit black smoke no matter day or night.

To the east of Shanzui, a two-person high platform was built on a flat land, which was used as a temporary warehouse and parking lot.

They are mainly vehicles for transporting wheat. After all, Xishan County now has a population of almost 30. Even if half of the people eat rice and half eat pasta every day, the flour required is huge. Take advantage of this time to use the mill to grind more flour and store it up.

Now everyone knows that there will be a vicious battle to be fought next, where will we find the manpower to grind the noodles?

Chen Qing came to check on this matter today.

He doesn't care what happens to the other divisions, but within the scope of Kusi's jurisdiction, there must be no mistakes.

When we arrived at Shanzui, just before dawn, Chen Qing inquired carefully about all the processes of grinding noodles, and then told the little official in charge. He was about to go to the next jurisdiction of Kusi to check, but he suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and a group of cavalry came out of nowhere. He rushed out in the direction of Xishan County, along the newly built gravel road, and rushed in the direction of Zhuluguan.

Chen Qing had sharp eyes, and immediately recognized His Highness King Qi among them. Obviously, there must be an urgent military situation.
