How can I not be moved?
This was the only warmth they had felt in the North for many years.
Maybe they made the right bet and good days are really coming.
So, a group of people, crying and laughing, and expressing gratitude and thanks, happily carried five kilograms of rice and five kilograms of flour back home.
However, the people who were watching nearby were filled with regret.
They hurried to the registration office to express that they also wanted to sign up.
Xu Wenzhi smiled and shook his head.
"Sorry, the registration for this life has ended. If you want to join the construction of Northern City, we will notify you at any time. Please pay attention to the notice board."
After hearing this, those who did not get any benefits could not help but feel excited.
Xu Wenzhi smiled and looked at everyone with sharp eyes.
"However, I hope that the applicants are not dishonest or criminals, otherwise they will be expelled from the northern border and will never be allowed to come back." He paused before continuing.
"Don't ask me why I can be so arrogant and unreasonable. That's our master. He is omnipotent and extremely powerful.
Since they can destroy Beiming Pavilion and rescue everyone, they naturally hope that the city environment in the north will be a harmonious and loving home, and hope that everyone will truly contribute to their home.
The master wants to lead everyone to develop together and live a prosperous life.
If you are a family, you are certainly welcome in the North.
If we are not family, then the North will not stop you."
As soon as Xu Wenzhi finished speaking, Li Mingze took the lead.
"Don't worry, City Lord Xu. We who have signed up are all people who truly love the North. We want to live a good life."
"yes."
"Yes, we do too. Don't worry, City Lord, we will definitely do things steadily."
"Don't worry, we are all people who get things done. We work every day and we will never be lazy."
Xu Wenzhi nodded in satisfaction and looked at the crowd. Those people with evasive eyes had already left, probably going back to report the news.
No matter what, whether you are a tiger or a dog, you have to lie down before your master.
Retracting his gaze, Xu Wenzhi said to Li Mingze.
"Li Mingze, how about you come and work with me from now on? Don't worry, you will be paid." He needed someone who was familiar with the northern border and had some influence.
After hearing Xu Wenzhi's words, Li Mingze was of course very willing.
So, he quickly clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, City Lord. Mingze is very grateful for your appreciation. I will definitely give my all in the future!"
Xu Wenzhi looked at him gently.
“Okay, very good, from now on we will serve the North wholeheartedly together.
How about a monthly salary of five taels of silver? Of course, there will be increases later."
When he heard five taels per month, Li Mingze's eyes lit up and he nodded happily.
"No problem, thank you, City Lord."
Xu Wen was very happy when he learned about this capable general.
Patting his shoulder, he said, "Okay, let's go back today. Remember to go to work at 9:00 PM tomorrow. We still have to go to the city gate to distribute porridge. We are also people who keep our promises."
"Got it, City Lord. I'll go back first." After saying that, he happily went home carrying ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour.
For his own people, Xu Wenzhi specially gave them five more kilograms of rice and five more kilograms of flour.
While having dinner in the evening, he excitedly shared the day's harvest with Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling congratulated with a smile:
"That's great. However, one isn't enough. The City Lord's Mansion needs to recruit others, or else you'll be exhausted to death."
Xu Wenzhi also nodded, "In the early stages of construction, there are so many miscellaneous tasks that one or two will definitely not be enough.
We also need to give more people the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities, so that they will be more motivated, work harder, and have a greater sense of belonging.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded, he was indeed an old fox who could win people's hearts.
Among this group of people, Xu Wenzhi is the most meticulous and suitable to be an official.
Others would never do it, as they find it tiring to deal with people.
Jiang Ling clapped his hands and said encouragingly.
"Yes, that's a good idea. I found that there are actually quite a few talented people here, but they are all hiding.
Maybe it was to save his life, or maybe for other reasons.
However, our strength and what we do will make them stand out slowly.
Since we want to take the initiative in the north, there is no need to hide our financial and military strength. We must let everyone, including people in other cities and even other countries, know that we are so awesome.
The goal is to build Northern City into a unique city that is safe, prosperous and beautiful.
Xu Wenzhi, do it boldly. Yue Qianli and I are behind you. We are your solid backing.
As for food planting and environment creation, I will be mainly responsible.
Shen Yinyun will be responsible for the specific details of city construction with you. Shen Yinyun is also an expert in commercial construction and operation. I have already informed them.
He may come over soon with a team of builders.
We have no shortage of people, let alone money, so there is absolutely no problem."
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, Xu Wenzhi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and saw that everyone present was also excited.
Their lord is already very powerful, so as long as everyone charges forward, their master and lord will always support them.
How great, how lucky, how happy!
Xu Wenzhi stood up and looked at Jiang Ling and Yue Qianli with a firm gaze, "Master, my lord, I will live up to your expectations."
At 9:00 PM the next day, Xu Wenzhi, along with housekeeper Chen and Chen Lei, were already ready at the city gate.
At this time, on the big stove, in a big iron pot, fragrant meat porridge was being cooked, and in another steamer, grids were filled with big, white and soft steamed buns.
It was steaming and fragrant at this time.
The people standing in the long queue, their eyes shining, looked ahead expectantly.
However, no one cut in line, and everyone was holding their bowls and chopsticks in an orderly manner.
Li Mingze assisted Chen Lei in serving porridge and steamed buns to everyone. Although he was busy, he was not panicked.
As Jiang Ling said, although these people were hungry and poor, there was no greed in their eyes.
They just want to live in peace and have enough food and clothes to eat.
It was done in such an orderly manner. After the meat porridge was steamed, it was boiled again. After the steamed buns were taken out, they were steamed again.
By noon, nearly 30,000 people in the entire Northern Border City had almost all eaten hot porridge with the aroma of meat and large white flour buns.
This was the most delicious meal they had had in years.
After eating, those who were in good health did not leave, only the frail elderly and children took the porridge home to eat.
Those who stayed wanted to see if there was anything they could help with.
If you eat someone's food, you should help them with their work.
This is what makes the people of the Northern Territory so lovable.
Of course, there were a few people who did not come to get the porridge, namely the more than one hundred wealthy people in the inner city and the people from the two small gangs.
They don't need a bowl of porridge or a steamed bun.
