What does this mean? It means that even if hundreds of thousands of ordinary people were to be counted, that would only amount to one-third.
The remaining two-thirds of the money belonged to the Prince of Northern Ning and other powerful families. These people had considerable power, so they resisted, but unfortunately, they couldn't escape in the end.
After all, you're a big fat sheep, who would let you go? Only a fool would.
That's why it saved Lin Yi money.
"I believe things will get better with our lord here!" Chen Dao said with a smile.
"Haha, that makes sense, at least you can definitely eat your fill!"
Lin Yi laughed heartily. If people still can't get enough to eat even with sweet potatoes and potatoes, it can only mean that people are too lazy.
He tossed down the money for the tea and headed straight for the Ping'an City.
The reconstruction work is in full swing, and as his lord, he naturally had to take a look. It was the highest point in Ningchuan Commandery, but unfortunately, it was now riddled with holes.
Previously, Tuoba Yu attacked Ping'an City, and it seems he used many tricks, causing heavy losses to the Ping'an City.
The reason for going there is that from there you can overlook the surrounding area and have a panoramic view.
After reaching the city wall,
Lin Yi looked around and saw everyone working hard, the scene bustling with activity. He couldn't help but smile and exclaim, "So energetic! They're really working with great enthusiasm!"
"Haha, our lord gave them wages and meat to eat, so naturally they're full of energy!" Chen Dao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
During this pursuit of Tuoba Yu, our lord killed countless warhorses. Although some were buried on the spot, many were brought back and used as food. The common people lacked meat, so this was a good opportunity to improve their diet.
As a result, these people who rarely ate meat were naturally full of energy.
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Although eating horse meat was disrespectful to warhorses, he didn't feel guilty about eating enemy warhorses. At least the common people liked it, even if the taste wasn't great, it was still meat!
At a glance, the framework around the perimeter is basically complete; it seems Liu Feng has done a good job.
He entrusted this matter to Liu Feng. At first, he was a little worried, but now it seems that Liu Feng did a good job. No wonder Liu Bei recognized him as his adopted son; he is indeed capable.
In just three short days, a massive city had appeared before everyone's eyes. Although it was not fully formed, its grandeur and size were already palpable.
Ningchuan Commandery is about to be recreated.
Upon learning of Lin Yi's arrival, Liu Feng rushed over.
Liu Feng greets his lord!
"Haha, Liu Feng, you're busy, so there's no need for such formalities."
Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating he still had a good impression of Liu Feng.
Not only is he handsome, but he also has no strange temper and is quite capable, making him more than qualified to rebuild Ningchuan Commandery.
Liu Feng exclaimed excitedly, "The cement our lord gave us is truly amazing, it's practically a divine invention! With it, the entire work will be twice as efficient. I reckon it won't even take half a month for Ningchuan Commandery to complete its basic construction!"
He witnessed a city wall being poured with concrete, and he was certain that even a thousand troops could not budge it an inch.
If such a treasure is not a divine object, then there are no divine objects.
Haha, I'm glad you like it!
Lin Yi nodded. He naturally knew the power of cement, and since there was no urgent battle this time, there was ample time to make the concrete work to its full potential. Ningchuan Commandery might even be harder than Xiliang Commandery in the future.
He asked with a smile, "During the construction process, these people didn't cause any trouble, did they?"
"Rest assured, my lord, they all know that the young master is doing this for them, so no one is stopping him. However..." Liu Feng nodded, but then hesitated.
"But what?"
"However, some wealthy merchants and scions of prominent families wanted to leave Ningchuan Commandery for Wuning, Youning, and other counties, but Gongsun Zan suppressed them," Liu Feng whispered.
oh!
Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. The fact that these people still wanted to leave despite his buffs could only mean that their hearts were never on his side in the first place, so no matter how much he buffed them, it would be useless.
After all, to enhance this thing, you first need to have a foundation; even if you double it, it's still zero.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Let Gongsun Zan handle it. Since they're unwilling to stay here, let them die during the Northern Barbarians siege. That would be a tragic and glorious death for them!"
Grunt!
Liu Feng and Chen Dao couldn't help but swallow hard. The young master was about to unleash a massacre. These people were really courting death, causing trouble at this crucial moment.
Lin Yi ignored them and looked at the workers. Although there was still some sadness in their eyes, they were clearly motivated. It seemed that the reassurance he had given them over the past few days had worked.
By the time this newspaper comes out, it should be about time.
By the time he finished reading, it was already noon. Just as he was about to take action, he heard the sound of gongs and drums, which startled him.
"My lord, an angel has arrived!" A member of the Net ran over and whispered.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Let's go see what grand reward the Emperor has prepared that even ordinary warships can't pull it. I'm quite curious."
"So heavy?"
Even Chen Dao was taken aback. Wasn't the Emperor very wary of his lord? Why was he being so generous? Was there something wrong with this?
The group returned to the gate of the Prince's mansion, and even Gongsun Zan was summoned back, as he was a key figure in this operation.
"My lord, I heard the emperor is very generous this time. I guess we're going to make a fortune," Gongsun Zan said with a smile.
Lin Yi shook his head. He felt it was unreliable; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a significant reward.
The emperor wasn't a generous person.
Soon the procession arrived, a large and imposing group, far more grand than the last one, on a completely different level.
The crowd of onlookers lined both sides of the line. Although they were worried about being fined, they couldn't resist coming to watch the spectacle.
Wang Yue jogged over to Lin Yi's side and whispered, "My lord, this reward is truly substantial, but it seems rather strange and frightening, like something out of a monster!"
Weird and scary?
monster?
Hearing these adjectives, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. What kind of thing was this that was so terrifying, even scaring Wang Yue?
He frowned and asked, "What on earth is this terrifying thing that you don't recognize?"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the ground tremble, followed by a series of heavy footsteps. Lin Yi subconsciously looked ahead and saw two enormous creatures charging straight towards him.
"Holy crap, that's an elephant!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but swear and exclaimed.
These were clearly two elephants; even with some decorations on them, Lin Yi recognized them at a glance.
