Chapter 352: Xia Family Wants to Deal with Xiao Ying, New Village Blueprint Finally Released
"Madam Xiao, when do we start construction?"
Finally someone asked, this is the topic that everyone is most concerned about.
Xiao Ying said, "In about three or four days, once the craftsmen have finished planning the blueprints, we will officially start construction."
"That's great!"
The villagers cheered immediately, and soon someone raised new questions.
"But building a new village will require a lot of people, right? I'm afraid our villagers alone won't be enough."
"Yes, many people in the village are working in the workshop. It would be great if there are only two or three hundred people left who can work."
"Besides, we have to start spring planting soon, which will cause delays."
“…”
Everyone is worried. If things continue like this, when will the new village be built?
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry about the manpower. I've already discussed it with the county magistrate. I'll take in the refugees who have fled this time. By then, there will be at least one or two thousand people."
"These people will be incorporated into our Yingfeng Village in the future. We will strive to build the new village into Yingfeng Town this time."
The villagers all took a deep breath when they heard this. Madam Xiao was actually going to resettle the refugees on her own? And as many as one or two thousand people?
However, if the resettlement is successful, their Yingfeng Village will truly become Yingfeng Town, and they will be townspeople in the future!
Thinking of this, many people became excited.
"Build Windward Town! Build Windward Town!"
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, and then everyone shouted out loud.
"Build Windward Town! Build Windward Town!"
For a moment, the scene was full of joy, and men, women, young and old were all in high spirits.
Nangong Jingyan, who was hiding in the dark, also raised his eyebrows, and a light flashed in his eyes.
He was just worrying about how to get close to Xiao Ying, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
If Xiao Ying wanted to accept one or two thousand refugees fleeing the war, he could just disguise himself as one of them and settle down in Yingfeng Village.
However, you have to think carefully about your disguised identity. You definitely cannot be an ordinary refugee, otherwise you will have no chance of getting close to the other party.
He touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
…
When Xiaoying New Village was being planned, no one knew that toilet paper and printed books would soon be targeted by the Xia family.
Since the last crushing defeat, Xia Ang has been recuperating from his injuries for a long time and has only recently fully recovered.
He was filled with rage. This was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a big loss. He hated both Xiao Ying and Yu Qianli so much that he wished he could tear them into pieces.
During these battles, his Xia family actually lost three Qi Refining Level 7 masters, including the young master of the Xia family. This was definitely a great shame.
The Xia family only had three people at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and they all failed, causing a gap in the Xia family's strength. This is definitely very bad.
In addition, four people at the sixth level of Qi Refining were lost. These people were also the best among the sixth level of Qi Refining. In a few years, they would most likely enter the late stage of weapon refining. As a result, all of them benefited Xiao Ying.
Xia Ang felt heartbroken every time he thought about it, and he hated Xiao Ying and the others more and more.
During this period, he had been sending people to keep an eye on Xiao Ying's movements, but he didn't dare to get too close. He basically only stayed in Yun'an County and Hongye Town.
It turned out that the other party had come up with two new things: toilet paper and printed books.
Both of these things touched his sensitive nerves. Paper has always been the exclusive delicacy of the powerful and wealthy, and most of the paper in Xizhou comes from his Xia family.
Now it has been created by Xiao Ying. He wants to get a piece of the pie!
Whatever toilet paper we can make now, we can make writing paper in the future.
This woman was clearly testing his bottom line step by step and encroaching on the interests of the Xia family.
Not to mention printed books. Once this thing came out, the price of books was greatly lowered, greatly damaging the interests of the wealthy and powerful.
"Master, we can't let this woman continue to act like this, otherwise Xizhou will really take her surname."
An elder said with a gloomy expression, his eyes full of annoyance and unwillingness.
"Hmph, don't think that just because she captured a few of our Xia family members at the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining, you think we're easy to bully. The foundation of our family is not something she can shake!"
Another person sneered, looking quite exasperated.
Xia Ang listened to their quarrel expressionlessly, and after a long time he could not help but speak.
"Then what do you say we should do? Xiao Ying has the Yu family's support. Yu Qianli's strength is unfathomable. I can't even take a single blow from him."
It's embarrassing to talk about this.
They were both at the eighth level of Qi Refining, but he advanced earlier. However, the gap in strength was so huge that it almost became a source of worry for him.
The elder who spoke first said, "The Patriarch is just too cautious. Can Yu Qianli still protect Xiao Ying forever?"
"Besides, we're not going to deal with Xiao Ying directly. We'll just start with her paper shop and bookstore and shut them down."
The others nodded in agreement. Xiao Ying's sphere of influence was only in Yun'an County. As long as her shop in Yun'an County could not continue to operate, other merchants would not be able to obtain goods.
"These two things must be nipped in the bud and must not be allowed to spread."
"That's right, especially printed books, they must not be circulated."
Xia Ang was silent for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Third Elder, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to do it cleanly."
The elder who was called out immediately showed a look of joy and was confident.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter perfectly!"
Let’s not talk about the Xia family being desperate and looking for trouble.
Two days later, the blueprints of Yingfeng New Village planned by Ouyang Chengye were finally released!
Ouyang Chengye exhausted all his energy this time. He worked for four whole days, sleeping only three hours a day, and finally achieved results in the shortest time.
If it weren't for the Peiyuan Pill given by Xiao Ying, I'm afraid he would have collapsed.
Even so, he still had two big dark circles under his eyes.
"If someone sees you like this, they'll think I'm deliberately exploiting you."
Xiao Ying couldn't help but laugh. He admired the other party's fighting spirit, but at the same time he didn't agree with such physical exhaustion.
Ouyang Chengye was extremely excited and respectfully placed a stack of drawings in front of her, full of anticipation.
"This is all my own free will. I just want to produce results as soon as possible to repay you for your appreciation."
"Please take a look, these are the blueprints for the new village, no, the new city, designed by me!"
Xiao Ying nodded, picked up the stack of drawings and looked at them one by one.
The top one is the overall front view.
This is an extremely broad and detailed drawing, roughly divided into three areas from inside to outside.
The center is the department store, and four streets are divided around the department store, which is the originally designed cross street.
These four streets are divided into two alleys on both sides, which are specifically used for building residential houses.
At the end of the four streets, a main street is built to form a "ring".
These four streets continue to extend outward, each dividing into two alleys, and finally a main street is built at the end to form a "second ring road".
