However, there are currently too few buildings in the city, only three: the City Lord's Mansion, the Military Camp, and the Warehouse.
Wang Xiaoyi planned to use the [Civil Servant Recruitment Order] to handle logistical matters first.
"He died before achieving his ambitions, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow."
A flash of red light appeared, and a man eight feet tall, with a handsome face, wearing a turban and holding a feather fan, was seen!
Who else could this person be but Zhuge Liang or Zhuge Kongming?
"No way, they recruited such a powerful person on their first try!" Wang Xiaoyi exclaimed in amazement!
Zhuge Liang's inclusion in both the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Military Glory is no empty boast.
"Kongming greets his lord!"
"Sir, you needn't stand on ceremony. I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future!" Wang Xiaoyi said respectfully.
Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan, looked at the towering city walls of Le'an City, nodded slightly, and then, seeing that the city was sparsely populated, asked a question.
"My lord, you possess such a vast city, yet why is its population so sparse?"
"Sir, you may not know, but there are indeed refugees we can take in, but we are struggling to find a place to house them. Please help me!" Wang Xiaoyi asked humbly.
"Settling refugees doesn't need to be too complicated. Sufficient tents and food will suffice. May I ask if the lord's warehouses are full?"
"Sir, please come this way!"
Wang Xiaoyi led Zhuge Liang to the warehouse, where they found it filled with all sorts of daily necessities.
"My lord, you have nothing to worry about! Please accept the refugees as soon as possible!" Zhuge Liang said confidently.
"Then let's do as you say, sir!"
Wang Xiaoyi walked out of the warehouse and used one [Refugee Refresh Order]!
1,000 refugees appeared instantly at the gate of Le'an City, all of them pale and emaciated, standing on tiptoe to look into the city.
Zhuge Liang divided the army into two: one half set up tents and maintained order, while the other half cooked porridge and registered information.
Zhuge Liang's SS-level talent: [Recuperation and Rest Lv10] activated!
Talent Effect: [Construction speed of all buildings in the territory increased by 1000%]
The soldiers' hands, hammering away at the tents, appeared as if in a phantom. Tents were quickly completed, and in no time, 1,000 tents had been finished.
At this moment, a long queue has formed at the entrance of [Le'an City], and the number of refugees in [Territory Information] is also increasing.
Territory Migrants: [146/1000 (maximum)]
"Sir, how can we convert refugees into residents? Please teach me!"
Wang Xiaoyi noticed that the number of refugees in his territory was constantly increasing, but the number of residents remained unchanged, so he couldn't help but ask a question.
"It seems that our lord is also a man of great ambition, but the requirements for converting refugees into residents are much more stringent!"
"It is my bounden duty to save the people from suffering. Please help me, sir!" Wang Xiaoyi said, mimicking a line from a TV series. He was almost moved to tears.
"The city is now in dire need of reconstruction!"
"Besides building houses for the refugees, we also need to arrange jobs for them. Before the economic system of Le'an City is established, the expenses will all need to be borne by the City Lord's Mansion!"
"The initial financial investment is quite high. I wonder if my lord is prepared?"
Even though Wang Xiaoyi had just withdrawn 2 million gold coins, his current wealth still amounted to 450,000 gold coins, 34 silver coins, and 46 copper coins.
"Sir, please rest assured. I wonder if 450,000 gold coins will be enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough!"
When Zhuge Liang saw that Wang Xiaoyi had such grand ambitions and such abundant resources, he laughed heartily, a rare occurrence for him.
After Zhuge Liang laughed, he ordered the troops who had just finished building the tents to begin constructing civilian buildings.
Before long, rows of houses, breakfast stalls, restaurants, and blacksmith shops sprang up.
"Wang Ermazi, you know how to make steamed buns, right?" said the soldier in charge of registering the information of the refugees.
"You can use this [residence] and [breakfast shop] for free for now, and I'll also give you 900 copper coins every month!"
When Wang Ermazi heard the soldier call his name, he immediately stepped forward. Upon hearing this unbelievable news, he froze on the spot, his mouth agape!
Wang Ermazi: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
"Didn't you understand? Say something!"
"squeak--"
Military officer: (⊙?⊙)
"The last time I was this speechless was the last time," the soldier thought to himself.
"Hurry up, I still need to arrange for other people!"
"Here's 900 copper coins for you in advance. Hurry up and get to work!"
The officer urged impatiently.
"Yes, yes, I'll go get to work right away!"
"Thank you, sir! Thank you for your great kindness!" Wang Ermazi said excitedly.
"Why thank me? If you want to thank someone, thank the City Lord—[Defying Heaven]! Did you hear me?!"
"Yes, thank you, Lord City Lord, and thank you [Defying Heaven]!"
Wang Ermazi gratefully accepted the copper coins and hurriedly ran towards his own [residential house] and [steamed bun shop].
