Overlord the sky

Chapter 270

What the refugee shouted was the real problem. 26nbsp;

With so many people, they opened their mouths to eat.Winterfell City is going to open a warehouse for food relief, which can solve the urgent needs of these 10 people, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

"Folks, don't worry, you have to build your residence by yourself. As for the food, I thought of a way. You know, it's wartime, and food is in short supply. It's impossible to have spare food to support idlers. Now Winter City is preparing to build a large canal, and those who are willing to work will be paid according to the market price per day, and those who are not willing to work, you can do it yourself."

The construction of a large canal seems to be a compromise that Zheng Qian thought of.

There was a stir among the refugees, and they all developed a subconscious resistance to the official apportionment.In the past, there were a lot of apportionments in the counties of Winterfell, but the promised rewards were delayed, and in the end, even these promises simply disappeared.Once there is a need, it has become an official hard apportionment to pay for work and money.

Although Zheng Qian was shrouded in the halo of a divine envoy, the refugees were only hearsay after all, and did not witness Zheng Qian killing the envoy of the imperial capital, destroying the meteorite group, and saving millions of people.Some of them don't even know who Zheng Qian is.

So as soon as Zheng Qian's words came out, it caused a burst of doubts.

Zheng Qian naturally knew that the people in the counties of Winterfell had long suffered from the disaster of self-government.The royal family of Winterfell let go of their hands and let the counties self-govern.It is also reasonable to have resistance to his proposal.

"Folks, don't worry. The wages are settled every day, and the settlement is based on the market price. If anyone dares to deduct your wages, you come to me and I will cut off his head. I will do what I say." shouted.

Paying wages is a fat job. If you think a little bit and want to deduct some wages privately, it will not take much effort to get some oil and water.

So what Zheng Qian said was not only for the refugees, but also for all the guards.

Zheng Qian's plan was to dig a deep ditch to draw the water from the Tongtian River out of the city and make it a moat.

The concept of a moat belongs to the memory of Zheng Qian's previous life. In this era, there is no such thing as a moat at all.

No one knows that Zheng Qian is following the scriptures. If the moat is built, it will undoubtedly be another invention of Zheng Qian.

The width of the moat is based on the premise of blocking the gliding of the fourth-level master, and the plan is to be 10 feet wide.On the upper reaches of the moat, Zheng Qian is going to dig a large reservoir for water storage.These two projects are of considerable scale, and based on the current tens of [-] people, it is possible to complete the plan before the wind and frost attack.

This is what Zheng Qian thought of.As long as Fengshuang can surprise Fengshuang, this moat can make Fengshuang eat a pot.

As for money and food, the Huben Regiment and the Snow Wolf Battalion had already started collecting in the city, and the armament warehouse was already full of food.

Another way for Zheng Qian to collect money and grain is to collect the taxes and grains that should be paid by nearby counties this year, and the taxes and grains of some farther counties will be paid in advance by nearby counties.According to the fiscal capacity of each county, the amount of tax paid in advance is not equal to the amount of food.

Counties with better financial conditions will have a correspondingly larger amount of advance payment, and the advance payment will be collected by the county according to the royal order from the county to which the advance payment is made.It saves the trouble of sending troops from Winterfell to conscript them.

By analogy, Zheng Qian actually took food and money nearby, and the collection work was equivalent to being assigned to the various counties below.

Although this method is not the best method, but it is wartime, this method is the most time-saving method, Zheng Qian naturally has no reason not to use it.

The national treasury is sufficient, Zheng Qian has the confidence to speak and do things, and such a large project can be carried out.Not only did it solve the livelihood problems of hundreds of thousands of refugees, but it also built fortifications, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The place where Zheng Qian was going to resettle the refugees was the wide area outside the exit of the underground passage from Winterfell to the Dark Night Forest.

Zheng Qian had a plan for placing the refugees here. As long as the people's will, when Winterfell was in danger, these people could also become the help of Winterfell.At that time, this channel will play a big role.

It took Zheng Qian a lot of brains to think through this whole set of plans.

In Zheng Qian's mind, if the foreign population is used properly, another Winterfell city can be built.

Since these people are immigrants, they don't have such deep roots. As long as he is recognized by these people, then the second Winterfell can become his real city-state.

In this newly built city-state, there will be no families with such profound heritage as Humen and Duan's. Everything is new.Just like him, by exchanging new for new and heart for heart, he can create an army of his own without being controlled by others.

Zheng Qian's idea was hidden very deeply, but it was so real.It had always been his dream to revive the Zheng family and rebuild the Tyrant Army.If he really wins this battle, he will be a big step closer to this dream.

Zheng Qian saw that some people in the refugee 'tide' had already believed his words, and they were discussing quietly below.

"Folks, you have come from afar, of course I want to do my best to be a landlord first. Come and serve me dinner!" Zheng Qian called out to the guard standing behind him.

The rice pot has been prepared long ago, and there is cooked hot rice in it.Just wait for Zheng Qian's order to open the pot and serve the rice.

The sergeants of the Snow Wolf Battalion filed out of the city and kept carrying the cauldron out. From the hot steam from the cauldron, the refugees smelled the aroma of gluttonous food.

"Get out of the way, don't burn, let us pass. Everyone is there, don't squeeze." The guard shouted loudly.

The cauldron is a special military cauldron, and the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion carried the cauldron through the gap made by the crowd to the depths of the crowd.

The military pots were supported by wooden frames and lined up in a long queue.

The crowd suddenly became restless and restless.They all crowded towards the edge of the cauldron.

"Don't squeeze!" Zheng Qian on the top of the city tower uttered a cry, which was like thunder. The restless crowd was startled by Zheng Qian's voice, and gradually quieted down.

"Line up one by one, regardless of whether you have to work or not, you can let go of your stomachs to eat today. I am only responsible for not starving to death, and I am not responsible for those who are stuffed to death!" Zheng Qian's voice was very domineering. There was a buzzing sound when the sound came out, which was a bit like the head of the Humen clan.

Someone in the crowd laughed when they heard what Zheng Qian said.

These people have suffered a lot along the way, especially now that they are starving, but Zheng Qian said that their rationality defeated their hunger, and the crowd lined up in front of the guarded military pot in an orderly manner .Stretching out their empty bowls one by one, they looked enviously at those who were already devouring their full rice.

Zheng Qian has never tasted the pain of being away from home, but he has been alone since he was a child, and he has never enjoyed the love of close relatives. Looking at the family members who are supporting each other in the crowd, there is something warm between them flowing.

Zheng Qian sighed softly.

He turned around, told the guard standing behind him again about the temporary residence of the refugees, and then walked down from the tower.

He walked out slowly from the city gate.

At this time, the refugees were caught in the eager desire to fill their stomachs, and no one noticed that Zheng Qian had quietly come to them.

These 10 people may become the foundation of his city, or they may be nothing, just a passing guest who passed by him.But no matter what, as long as there is such a hope, Zheng Qian will always work hard.

What is lacking most between him and these people now is trust. This is the most difficult thing to establish, but at the same time it is also the most difficult thing to break once established.

"I hope I made the right bet this time." Zheng Qian said to himself.

After solving the first wave of refugee 'tide', Zheng Qian rushed to the command camp in Beicheng again.He is like a fly flying all over the city now, without a moment's rest.Zheng Qian suddenly felt sleepy.

This feeling has never been felt before.

Ever since he heard the news of Fengshuang's attack, Zheng Qian's whole body has been spinning day and night.There is no place in my mind to think about how to have a better chance of winning.When all the burdens are on him, he has a feeling of fatigue.

When people are tired, they want a place to rest.And this place, in Zheng Qian's impression, can only be found in the Huben group.

He quickly walked to the small room in the medical center, and saw the princess and Hu Niu sitting beside Bai Ling.

Huniu and Bai Ling have never been together before, and it is only through the introduction of the princess that they realize how much Bai Ling has helped Zheng Qian.Speaking of which, Bai Ling was also her savior.

"Princess, is Bai Ling really that powerful?" Hu Niu turned her back to Zheng Qian, while speaking, the white hair hanging from her back flickered.

"It's very powerful, but I just recently heard from the four sisters of Jixiang Tea House that Bai Ling was transformed from a unicorn."

"Ah, a unicorn beast?!" Hu Niu was taken aback.

In her memory is the memory of the unicorn beast, which is an ancient beast, and has a great relationship with the Tyrant God Zheng Xiaotian.

"Why, do you know Sister Tiger King?"

"Oh, no, no. I don't know it. It's just that I have some memories about the unicorn beast in my memory. But the memory is a little fuzzy. I only know that she has some kind of connection with Zheng Qian's ancestor, the Tyrant God Zheng Xiaotian."

"No wonder Bai Ling... My sister is so protective of Zheng Qian. Where do you think Zheng Qian is so lucky? Someone as strong as you helped him, and now there is another Bai Ling."

"Princess, my strength has not yet returned to its peak state. Compared with Bai Ling, I am far behind her."

"Compared with you, I am far behind." The princess said sadly.

"How could it be? The first person Zheng Qian met was you." Hu Niu said honestly.

First come, first served, this principle is a matter of course in Huniu's consciousness.

The two women chatted quietly, but they didn't notice that Zheng Qian was eavesdropping on their conversation as he was on the top of the boat last time.

But this time Zheng Qian listened, and suddenly felt sleepy again, so he pushed the door open and entered.

Zheng Qian yawned, "So sleepy..." Zheng Qian walked into the small room with heavy eyelids.

There are two beds next to Bai Ling, one belongs to the princess, and the other is the bed that Hu Niu used to sleep on.Zheng Qian casually fell on a nearby bed and closed his eyes.

"I'll sleep for a while, I'm so tired." Zheng Qian said dreamily on the bed.

The princess looked like she was going to be angry. The bed was hers.

But Huniu blocked the princess who was about to drive Zheng Qian down with a serious face.

The princess looked at Huniu puzzled.

"Princess, something is wrong with Zheng Qian." Hu Niu said.

"Why... Hey, I forgot if you didn't tell me, Zheng Qian has always looked like he has excess energy, and it seems that this kind of situation has never happened now."

Huniu nodded heavily.

She has a feeling.Zheng Qian's situation has something to do with the inheritance beads he swallowed earlier.But what was the specific relationship, he couldn't think of it.

"What exactly is it?" Huniu asked anxiously.

"Sister Tiger King, what's going on?" the princess hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, Zheng Qian's situation should be related to the inheritance beads. But why the inheritance beads make Zheng Qian sleepy, I really don't know the reason."

The princess walked up to Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian, who was lying on the bed, had an indecent sleeping appearance, his mouth was slightly opened, and he slammed twice from time to time.It seemed that when he finished speaking, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
