After being forced to marry the Demon King, she usurped the throne by relying on the infrastructure

Chapter 21 21. Asking for help from Heilongkou
...

Today is Meng Qiu's first day in office.

He and Lin Zhong have been dependent on each other since childhood, they are not brothers but they are better than relatives.Therefore, when they built a new house in the city, they did not live separately, but chose a big house near the west of the city with an independent yard.

Two people live together more to support and accompany each other.No one would have imagined that the two children who were so hungry that they had nowhere to go to pick bark outside the city would become the first inspectors of Black Dragon City.

"Lin Zhong, it's time to go out." Meng Qiu stood at the door and called him.

Lin Zhong ran out of the house wearing armor: "I almost fell asleep. It's the first day I took office today. Brother Qiu didn't call me earlier!" His tone was complaining but not offensive, more like a coquettish love among relatives, Apparently he often overslept.

They have no new clothes. This armor was issued more than ten years ago. They have been wearing it for ten years and have almost never taken it off.

Meng Qiu walked ahead with a weapon in his hand: "The cafeteria has left breakfast for us, hurry up."

Lin Zhong babbled behind Meng Qiu, probably meaning that he was a little nervous on the first day of taking office, and asked Meng Qiu if he was nervous.

Meng Qiu's personality is calmer than his: "It's okay, it's the same as before, don't worry too much."

They came to the canteen, which is the canteen of the construction team in the west of the city.Meng Qiu and Lin Zhong live in the west of the city and can come over for dinner.

The demon aunt who cooks is Xiulan.This is the name she asked Mr. Nan Lu to choose a few days ago.Xiulan was originally a member of the wandering demon clan in the west of the city. Thanks to the restoration of the west of the city by Her Royal Highness, she not only has a shelter from the wind and rain, but also a livelihood with food and clothing.

She cooks in the cafeteria in the west of the city in the morning, then boils hot water and cleans public toilets, returns to the cafeteria to cook in the afternoon, and burns the stove to heat everyone's house at night. When the house is warm, she can call it a day and go back to the dormitory.

"Captain Meng, Captain Lin, here is breakfast for you."

She brought two bowls of thick hot porridge, and two more bowls, each with steamed sweet taro,

"This is sweet taro with no taste." The taste of sweet taro depends on the taste of the cook.

Lin Zhong took a big bite of the sweet taro, it was not his favorite taste.Fortunately, there is a kitchen at home, and he can bring back two sweet taro at the end of the month, and he must eat sweets by then!

Meng Qiu could see that Lin Zhong was not very happy, and knew that he was craving something sweet.

"I'll help you in the afternoon and ask who has extra sweet taro, let's exchange it with him."

Lin Zhong shook his head quickly: "No, I'll eat the ones at home for emergencies. I'm not missing that bite."

They are really hungry.Meng Qiu is fine, Lin Zhong is completely a hamster.He and Meng Qiu could each receive two sweet potatoes every month. Meng Qiu handed over his own to Lin Zhong, and Lin Zhong saved them all, for fear that one day he would not be able to eat again.

In winter, the sweet taro bears fruit, and Lin Zhong is reluctant to eat any of them.

At least when spring comes, he can feel at ease when he can go to exchange food or harvest sweet taro. In fact, the residents in the city almost think the same as him.

Everyone has been hungry for too long, even though Yin Jixue told them that sweet taro will grow, but everyone dare not eat the food saved at home easily, what if?
The scorched earth is too uncertain, and no one knows whether the sweet taro will grow next time.

Yin Jixue has completed tasks quickly recently, and the system warehouse has piled up a bunch of her rewards, ranging from road construction materials to various localized demon crop seeds.

It's a pity that we can't do anything in the cold winter, there are more and more materials, and the key system warehouse is not free to use.

She had to hand in a deposit of two points every day, and she was so distressed that she almost shed tears when there was no one around.

Teng She knocked on the door: "Your Highness, this is a case handled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate today."

Yin Jixue rubbed her eyes, woo woo, I still want to cry.

"come in."

Teng Snake heard that the queen's voice was wrong, and he lowered his head when he entered the room.

"There is no major event in the city today. The black-gauze blacksmith in the blacksmith shop forged the first weapon; the director of the iron mine was renamed Gou Fugui, his wife was renamed Wuxiang, and his son Gousheng was renamed Gouwang; the cook in the canteen in the west of the city was renamed Xiulan ..."

The corners of Yin Jixue's mouth turned up unconsciously, the family of Gou Sheng had an interesting name, "If you are rich, don't forget each other".

"Who gave them their names?"

Teng Snake: "It's Mr. Nan Lu, as long as you have an idea, you can change your name."

"Well, there is no need to report the name change in the future, just make a household registration booklet and hand it in for me to have a look."

She wants to hide and laugh secretly.

"One more thing." Teng Snake hesitated to speak.

Why are you still hesitating?

She had to take the initiative: "Tell me."

"Heilongkou asks for help."

Heilongkou?This is where?

Yin Jixue had never heard of such a place in Black Dragon City.

She had a vague guess, and couldn't help putting on a pain mask.

"Which small county is Heilongkou?" The county seat is exaggerated, and Heilongkou is also a city under the jurisdiction of the Demon King.

Why did she know this place, because the first city she saw when she first came to the Demon Race was Heilongkou.She thought it was a small county town of the Demon Race, who knew that it was considered the provincial capital in modern times.

Black Dragon City is similar to a municipality directly under the Central Government.

To say that the only advantage of Heilongkou is its geographical advantage. The surrounding area is full of yellow sand, but at least the terrain is flat, and you can see the whole picture of the county at a glance.

Forgive her for not being able to change her words now, it is indeed a dilapidated county town.

Teng Snake said unnaturally: "It was the resting place of the team back then."

It is not enough for the demons to go to the human world to open the flying magic weapon. The flying magic weapon is a very luxurious thing, and the magic crystal is needed just to start it.

Teng Snake was pulled by a monster that Yin Jixue had never seen before. She traveled thousands of miles a day, bumping and bumping all the way in the carriage.

Yin Jixue spent half a day in Heilongkou on the way to get married, the wind and sand were alluring, the dry food was mixed with the sand gifted by nature, clean and hygienic.

Only now did she know that the few meals she was given on the way were treated well, and the demons really did not treat her badly.

"What's wrong with them?" Asking for help from such a distance is probably cornered.

"Heilongkou was hit by a snow disaster last year, and the house has not been repaired. This year, ten elderly demons and two children have been frozen to death."

Yin Jixue frowned: "Is it already so serious that it's just winter?"

Even if it is not under the jurisdiction of the Demon King, she still has to help out of humanitarianism.

Teng Snake's heart was heavy: "Most of the houses in Heilongkou were damaged, and the cold wind blew day after day. Even the strong demons couldn't bear it."

"How many demons do they have?"

"They asked us for help to accommodate [-] elderly people and children, of whom the elderly accounted for the majority."

Yin Jixue suddenly lost his mind. The birth rate of the demons is not optimistic, and the aging is serious.This can only make people voluntarily fall in love and have children.

The cold air blew in through the window, and Yin Jixue shivered: "Isn't there a place outside the city, let them live there, and you assign someone to take charge, and don't let the people of Black Dragon City rub against them."

After finishing speaking, she added: "By the way, the treatment is the same as outside the city. In terms of heating arrangements, three meals a day are in charge."

Teng Snake's expression gradually changed from shock to disbelief,

"You... don't you mind?"

Yin Jixue wondered, what does she mind?
She also asked truthfully.

"This subordinate thinks you don't like them." Who would like poor relatives who are slowing down, not to mention that Her Highness the Queen suffered a lot in Heilongkou, and Her Highness's face changed when he mentioned Heilongkou.
