Liu Tianci scratched his head and said, "But the young master just said that I should just stay by his side from now on, he didn't say that I should follow you."
"Alas, Brother Liu, you don't understand. The young master keeps you by his side because he values you. But you don't know anything. You definitely need to learn. You can only learn good things by following me."
Wang Wu sat down next to Liu Tianci and immediately started trying to get close to him. Having studied for so long, Wang Wu was quite adept at using common phrases.
Before long, they had uncovered all of Liu Tianci's secrets, and the two then began to call each other brothers.
Liu Tianci, who wasn't exactly a bright man to begin with, was easily fooled by Wang Wu and immediately began to swear brotherhood with him.
Finally, before Ning Ye came out, they kidnapped Liu Tianci. Anyway, once he took the man away, there was no way he could go back.
Anyone with eyes can tell that Liu Tianci, with his physique, is definitely a fierce general. However, he will likely be working for Ning Ye in the future. But for now, Wang Wu plans to trick him into working under him first.
By the time Ning Ye found out about this, he was speechless. Wang Wu was becoming more and more cunning.
But thinking about it, it's a good thing. After all, Liu Tianci will definitely be in the army in the future, so it's a good thing to get to know these people now.
Ning Ye wasn't going to let Wang Wu off easily. Since everyone was shoveling snow, he decided to take Wang Wu out alone and find some other people. Although they would continue training, Wang Wu would have to clean a large area of the street every day, or he wouldn't be allowed to go back.
Liu Tianci wanted to help after learning about it, but Wang Wu refused, because Wang Wu knew very well that Ning Ye's actions towards him meant little to Ning Ye, but if he tried to cheat or shirk responsibility, it would definitely make Ning Ye feel bad.
Wang Wu understood that Ning Ye was telling him that whatever he did, he had to pay the price. Nothing comes without effort; if there is, it's a sweet trap waiting for him.
After a day of rest, Ning Ye finally went to see Shen Yuanzhi.
The place the two came from was a plain outside Qingmei Village. It was rocky and unsuitable for farming. If they were to cultivate it, it would definitely take a lot of effort.
The original idea for this land was to use it to build some factories when there is a large-scale construction project in the future, which would be a good idea to use it for some specific purposes.
With so many refugees and so little work available, Shen Yuanzhi finally mustered the courage to approach Ning Ye, hoping to see if construction could begin ahead of schedule.
"Sir, as things stand, we have at least several thousand workers at our disposal. Even in this icy weather, they should be able to carve out a factory. Whatever you want to do, I'm sure I can arrange for them to do it well and they will not let you down."
Ning Ye looked at Shen Yuanzhi's slightly pleading eyes and laughed for a moment. "Mr. Shen, what makes you think that these people are worth your efforts, worth going to such lengths for, that you have to do this?"
Shen Yuanzhi said with a hint of embarrassment, "To be honest, I was ashamed to say that I had thought about ignoring these people before, but now it seems that my heart is not as hard as I thought. Some things cannot be completely ignored just by turning a blind eye."
"Have you considered that what we can give them is already limited, and making them do such heavy work might not be a good thing for them, but rather a bad thing?"
Shen Yuanzhi nodded and said, "I know this may not be a good thing for them, but I also know that if they don't do this, even more of them will die. I just hope that some people can survive as much as possible."
Ning Ye stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the vast snowfield in front of him. "This is the first time you've asked me for help, so I'm too embarrassed to refuse you like this. Since you're so insistent, I'll grant your request this time."
"Thank you for your kindness, young master, but it is up to you to decide what to do, since I don't have any good ideas."
Ning Ye said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to build a brick-making facility right here and start construction sooner rather than later."
“Young master, it seems we can’t fire blue bricks here. The soil here is too poor. Even if we fire them into blue bricks, they would be unusable.”
Ning Ye had already considered this matter. The soil here was indeed unsuitable for firing blue bricks, but it was perfectly fine for firing red bricks. Of course, these red bricks would probably not be favored by the powerful and wealthy, but they could become a new alternative material.
These towering buildings rise from the ground up, relying on red bricks and concrete. Of course, concrete is probably still difficult to produce now, but with red bricks, the buildings can naturally be built taller.
The powerful and wealthy may look down on these somewhat inferior red bricks, but for some rich people, they are already quite good.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just have them arrange for people to clear all the areas I've marked out. I'll teach you the rest step by step."
Shen Yuanzhi immediately got all the refugees moving. Clearing the snow would take a long time, so everyone worked with great enthusiasm.
After carefully examining his stored grain, Ning Ye decided to allocate a batch first, which would be the last batch, otherwise further action would be detrimental to the company's resources.
After all, in such a turbulent era, anything is possible, and no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
If something really happens, Ning Ye doesn't want to be completely powerless to withstand risks.
While the old Ningye was still actively dealing with the refugee issue, about ten days later, he suddenly heard some news that was truly shocking.
I wonder what got into that Turkic delegation before.
They actually took a princess away from the capital, but because there was no evidence, even the emperor couldn't forcibly detain the delegation.
It is said that Princess Yuye was the emperor's darling, but she suddenly disappeared when the Turkic envoy came to visit. No matter how you look at it, the Turkic delegation must have done something.
However, after a thorough investigation, they still couldn't find any evidence. They had no choice but to let the Turkic delegation leave.
