Chapter 372 There was a small problem

Song Jiuning hugged her account book, unwilling to let go: "What are you going to the City Lord's Mansion for? That wooden man pretending to be the City Lord is so boring."

She is now gradually deviating from her original intention and is obsessed with making money.

Going to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss serious matters is not as exciting as making money by rebelling.

Lu Wanyin sighed and let go of her hand: "This time I went to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the creation of weapons for rebellion, and there are many details.

If you don't go this time, next time your cooperation is needed, you'll have to go find Di Shi every time."

When Song Jiuning heard that Lu Wanyin was rebelling, her eyes began to light up.

By the time she finished, she had already put the account book somewhere: "Let's go, let's go. We can't delay the rebellion."

Lu Wanyin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and was pulled out by Song Jiuning.

The people guarding the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion now are all from Zizai Peak.

When Lu Wanyin and the other person came, they didn't even need to announce their arrival. They were led in and treated well.

I don’t know what urgent matter Di Shi was dealing with, and it took him a full cup of tea to come over.

As soon as he saw Lu Wanyin, Di Shi saluted quickly: "Master."

"No need to be so polite. You look like you've run into trouble."

She gestured to the side and said, "Sit down and talk."

Looking at him like this, I think he was so anxious to run all the way back that he even forgot to use his Qinggong skills.

Di Shi thanked him repeatedly, his face ashamed: "I am sorry to have made you laugh, Master. These are just some trivial matters. How could I trouble you to worry about them?"

Lu Wanyin leaned back slightly, tapping the teacup with her fingertips, looking at him without saying a word.

Di Shi was both moved and helpless.

No wonder Xuan Qi and the others said that no matter what problems they encountered, no matter how big or small, as long as the two masters knew about it, they would not ignore it.

He calmed down and then spoke: "It's about building a river embankment.

After the river was repaired, in order to ensure that the river was clean and in case of any incidents, I specially arranged for people to be responsible for cleaning the river and its surroundings every day."

Lu Wanyin nodded.

It’s the cleaner from the previous world.

"But there aren't that many people needed this time, and the spots are a bit crowded, so there's a problem."

Di Shiyi thought about what happened in the past few days and said helplessly: “Some people who didn’t sign up are offering high prices to buy places.

Some of those who signed up agreed because they saw that the offer was high.

This set a precedent, and more and more people started buying and selling it, and some even started to make a profit from it.”

Song Jiuning listened and felt that this sentence was so familiar.

Isn't it exactly the same as the people who grab the special dishes in Zizai Building and sell them again?

She tried to mention this to Lu Wanyin several times, but was interrupted by various unexpected events.

Lu Wanyin always felt that Song Jiuning looked at her with resentment.

Di Shi finished his recent story: "There are no particularly evil people among the remaining citizens in the city, so we shouldn't be too harsh on them. However, if this continues, it will inevitably lead to a bad atmosphere."

I see.

When Xie Jingci led his troops, he was cruel to the enemy and strict to his subordinates, but very lenient to ordinary people.

The same is true for the men he brought with him.

The people in the wilderness were visited by robbers every day and were almost all penniless.

Zizai City is developing so well now that their savings can hardly keep up with the current world.

It's normal to be eager to make more money.

To be honest, after coming out of the Colosseum, she felt that the only way for the people of Zizai City to make money was to squeeze into her job, which was already very kind.

"It seems that I came here by chance."

Lu Wanyin smiled faintly: "We can think about the standardization later. I can solve today's problem now. I won't have such troubles for at least half a year."

Di Er looked at Lu Wanyin in shock: "So fast..."

The master is indeed not a god. As soon as he finished speaking, he already had a solution.

"That's exactly why I came to see you."

Lu Wanyin thought about the location carefully: "More than forty miles outside Zizai City, there is a barren mountain. There are not many people there. I have piled up a lot of building materials there.

You should recruit more people. Anyone who is willing to go from Zizai City can go.

In addition, experienced blacksmiths will receive additional silver.

I want to build weapons and armor for at least 30,000 elite soldiers within six months."

When Lu Wanyin agreed to send fine iron to the prefect of Fanzhou, she had already planned to build a large iron shop.

The fine iron used for farm tools is just a by-product.

Firearms are only suitable for individual generals, and she plans to equip all 30,000 elite soldiers with swords and armor made of fine iron.

She would be heartbroken if any one of these 30,000 well-trained and extremely loyal soldiers was missing.

Of course, you have to be armed to the teeth.

It's time to put the things in that row in the space to use.

"Thirty miles away"

When they first came to the wilderness, they had already explored the terrain within a radius of 100 miles.

Di Shi thought for a moment, then nodded in understanding: "I obey your orders, but there are many idle people in the city.

Not only the people from before, but also about 200,000 people who came here from other places during this period.

This is just what we have so far, there will be more in the future, in half a year... Master, can you really arrange everything?"

Such a large number surprised Lu Wanyin: "It's not that the wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, but more people are hiding in the valleys and dare not come out.

Didn't the original Zizai City only have more than 40,000 people?

It’s only been a short time, and it’s already doubled.”

"Indeed."

Song Jiuning, who was listening quietly, affirmed: "The current Zizai City is not the same as before.

The first batch of houses built in our city have long been full, and the prices have increased more than twenty times compared to the initial price.

Even before the second batch of houses were finished, people were already lining up to grab one.”

Lu Wanyin held her forehead with her hand.

After Zizai City got on track, she didn't really care about the business here.

Has it developed so fast?

It has always been Lu Wanyin who shocked others, but this was the first time Song Jiuning saw Lu Wanyin being shocked.

She found it interesting and teased her with a smile: "Otherwise, where do you think we get so much money every month when we haven't even planted the first batch of grain yet?"

"In that case, let's make some adjustments."

Lu Wanyin thought about it and said, "From the idle people, we can allocate 100,000 and assign them to the desolate mountain.

Half a month later, the remaining people were transferred to the area between Manhuang and Fanzhou to open up new fertile fields.

Whether you go to the barren mountains or cultivate the fields, you will earn an extra two taels of silver every month."

Song Jiuning stopped laughing for a moment: "Well, Wanyin, do you want to reconsider it?

For so many people, the monthly wages alone would be 400,000 taels of silver, including food and accommodation.

Including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and some miscellaneous expenses, it costs one million taels of silver a month.

A blacksmith shop with 100,000 people has to make so many things, and I'm afraid it would cost tens of millions of taels of silver.

Our grain business is not very large yet, are you going to pick all the fruits on the mountain and sell them?"
