Douluo: Qinghe legend

At night, when Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi and others were preparing to finish their meal, two beautiful figures also came here. Judging from their rosy little faces and heavy breathing, they came in a hurry.

"Yanyan, Lingling, you are here."

Xue Qinghe was not surprised by the arrival of the two women, he just asked for two more pairs of chopsticks.

After the two women greeted Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo (Dugu Bo) respectfully, they naturally sat next to Xue Qinghe.

"Yanyan, there's no need to be so anxious. It's not time to officially start construction yet." Dugu Bo said with distress as he looked at his precious granddaughter.

"Grandpa, Xue Qinghe will only work harder than us. It's nothing. This is a donation made by me and the members of the Strengthening Society of Lingling. There is a list of donations and the amount of donations." Dugu Yan handed a few pieces of paper to Xue Qinghe. In front of Qinghe.

"I... look down on you two, thank you for your hard work." Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then put it away, still able to think of this step.Despite the chaos, there is still a way of doing things.

As for how much money has been raised, that is secondary. They are just second-generation people. How much money can they spend?

What matters is the meaning expressed and the signal behind it...

"Your Majesty... eldest prince, I have informed my mother about this matter. I estimate that my mother will be here around the day after tomorrow."

Ye Lingling blushed and said, the little girl was still a little shy in front of so many elders.

Especially Sword Douluo next to him, who was His Highness's teacher. They said that once a teacher is always a father, Ye Lingling always felt a little weird. If he had known better, he would not have followed Yanyan here.

"Well, Lingling, you and your aunt may have a very hard time during these times. I will apply to the Royal Academy to transfer a few teachers to help you." Xue Qinghe nodded.

With my relationship with the Education Committee, this shouldn’t be a big problem.

This is the benefit that one's own identity brings. It can mobilize many resources and connections that ordinary people cannot reach.

"Lingling is willing to help the eldest prince, and my mother also fully agrees." Ye Lingling whispered, and after that, her voice was almost audible only to herself.

"Alas~" Dugu Bo sighed slightly when he saw this. He really didn't know what his granddaughter was thinking, why he pushed this cute little girl to Xue Qinghe's side, and she seemed to be "disastered" by Xue Qinghe. light.

"Uh, Uncle Ning, teacher, let's eat. Why do you look a little unhappy?" Xue Qinghe said, looking at the two people with strange looks.

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi looked at each other, and both could see the other's worry and helplessness, but they couldn't show it in such a situation, so they continued to use their chopsticks.

Rongrong, we two elders can't help you with these matters. I regret not bringing you here. The main reason is that I am worried that you will distract Qinghe...

It is true that there must be a brave man with a lot of money. The cement and hollow bricks mentioned by Xue Qinghe were really tinkered with by two masons with bright minds.

Xue Qinghe did not break his promise and gave three thousand and five thousand gold soul coins as rewards to the two of them, making the others extremely envious.

With all preparations completed, the construction of the new city has officially begun.

As the news of the construction of the new city spreads further and further, refugees from many cities have come to the new city one after another to join the construction army.

In order to speed up the project and reduce costs, Xue Qinghe added ten brick-burning caves nearby with a wave of his hand. The victims were divided into two shifts and worked day and night.

Building a city requires a lot of manpower, but now there is no shortage of manpower. Even after a period of recovery, the original bleak faces of the refugees have turned a little rosy.

Xue Qinghe originally planned to provide all the refugees with work-for-relief, so that all the refugees would work to build the city wall, and those who did not work would not have food to eat.

But then I thought about it, even if some lazy people don’t work, can they really not be fed?

Are they really going to starve to death here?

Not to mention that the passiveness of these lazy people will affect other people and lead the good atmosphere astray. Xue Qinghe is more worried that some people secretly incite the emotions of the refugees and resist the imperial court. After all, not all people are human.

In the end, Xue Qinghe decided to do it all on his own free will. Those who were willing to participate in the construction of the city would be provided with three meals per day instead of the original two. The new meal would also include three ounces of meat and clean clothes.

Moreover, after the city is built, they will have the right to live in the new city, but those who did not participate in the city's construction will not have the right to settle in the new city in the future.

High-intensity labor requires a lot of rice and meat, but Xueqinghe and Ningfengzhi are not short of money, so those who are willing and able to build the city in Xueqinghe almost always add meat to their meals, just for fear that some people will suffer from insufficiency and collapse. .

Seeing such good treatment, many people are willing to participate in the construction of the city. Most of the victims are industrious in nature. They just encountered misfortune. They want to build their homes with their own hands and gain survival and dignity through their own work. , as Xue Qinghe said, be a real person!

Of course, the most indispensable thing in the world is people who love to eat and are lazy to work. There are also many people who feel that they have to eat and drink every day, so why do they have to do any work, and they have no money to get it?

Besides, after the new city is built, just go in and build a shack.

Xue Qinghe didn't want to pay attention to these people. He had a lot of things to deal with and was very busy.

Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs quickly counted the registered population. There were a total of 13 refugees and beggars, including more than 7 men, including more than 4 young men.

There are also more than 15 orphans under the age of 5000, most of whom are boys.

There are nearly 10 people willing to participate in the construction of the city, including women. Each person will be issued a wooden sign with their name written on it as an identity document for future settlement.

Those who were able to come to Tiandou City all the way from the lower reaches of the Yellow River and other places naturally suffered a lot along the way. Most of the people who were able to persevere in hunger were men, and those women and children were basically the family members and orphans of these men. Naturally there is no way to calculate it.

Not all the refugees rushed to Tiandou City. Most of the refugees settled in other relatively stable places on the way, and some died on the way.Many places suffered from disasters all year round and were very poor, so they were unwilling to accept the refugees. When the officials saw the refugees coming, they closed the city gates early.

These refugees could only continue heading north eagerly, thinking that the capital city was at the feet of the emperor, and the emperor absolutely could not close the city gates to keep them out.

Therefore, many people went northward with a glimmer of hope and faced the situation before them.

And this choice makes these people feel extremely lucky!
