Ye An

Compared with Xiao Yun's last visit, Jincheng has changed greatly.

Since Gerrard came to power and cooperated with Ye Anding, earth-shaking changes began to take place in the city.

In order to fully grasp the power, Gerald quickly overturned the original rules, re-established a new system, and recruited people of insight to fill the positions under the administration of the City Lord's Mansion.While re-planning the city, drastic reforms have been carried out in response to many problems that have emerged.

Gerald was ambitious, but things did not go well, and he encountered considerable resistance from the beginning.

Those who oppose him may not have bad intentions, they are just accustomed to the past life and are unwilling to make changes easily.

Among many matters, Gerald encountered the greatest opposition to the mining of mineral deposits.

He plans to cut back on exploration and scale down mining of existing deposits.When the conditions are ripe, only a few large mines will be kept, and small mines will be sealed up one after another.

The abolished miners will not be idle, they can learn to forge weapons and tools, and gradually turn into craftsmen.

Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to learn, and not everyone can learn it.

Things encountered twists and turns at the very beginning, and even Gerrard himself did not expect that he would encounter such great resistance.

Fortunately, Ye An's news arrived in time. He ordered a large number of tools and weapons from Jincheng. Most of them were simple in craftsmanship. Parts were made in batches and then assembled. A skilled worker could complete at least two or three pieces a day.It is not difficult for beginners as long as you master the skills.

This business came in a timely manner, and it can be said to have solved Gerrard's urgent need.

With the help of Ye An's contract, Gerrard finally suppressed the voices of opposition in the city.He distributed most of the profits, further stabilized the situation, brought more people closer to him, and offered an olive branch to those who hesitated, and made a promise in person that he would never let everyone go hungry, and life would definitely get better and better.

"No matter how rich the mineral deposits are, there will always be a day when they will be mined. Don't you only care about your immediate interests and don't think more about future generations? Just imagine, what will our children do if we finish mining the ore? They have no ability to survive. Do we have to do it every day? Going out to hunt, can you just starve to death if you can’t catch the prey?”

Gerrard's words hit people's hearts.

Maybe everyone will still be stubborn before the order comes.However, people in Jincheng gradually changed their minds when they saw the actual benefits and saw the medicines, food and many scarce items sent from the isolated island.Even the most stubborn person started to think about Gerald's words and finally had to admit that he had a good point.

The mineral deposits will be exhausted one day, but the skills learned will not disappear.

Just at this time, Xiao Yun planned to order a sea-going ship, and Gerrard was immediately refreshed, and sent someone to spread the news that day.In less than half a day, it became known that the city chief cooperated with Hunter City to build a sea-going ship.

The people of Jincheng boiled instantly.

Young people may not know, but older people are very clear about what this business will bring to Jincheng.As long as you can participate in it, even if it is a small job, you will earn a lot of money, and you don't need to worry about the stomach of the whole family.

Gerald grasped people's hearts and minds without any delay, and quickly organized people to select areas outside the city to transport materials, and a huge dock was erected.

Relying on Jincheng's proximity to the sea, it is more convenient for the construction of the dock.

When Ye An came to Jincheng before, he focused his attention on the city and did not find this advantage.Xiao Yun, on the other hand, knew it all too well. He started the shipbuilding plan as early as when he decided to rebuild Haicheng and go to sea again.

After the dock was built, all Jincheng people were mobilized, and the whole city became a huge factory.

At this time, no one cared about the commotion in the city anymore, and the voices against Gerrard disappeared overnight.

Older and experienced craftsmen came out one after another.Some of them hadn't done anything for a long time, but this time they dug out their dusty pockets and toolboxes, and prepared to stay at the shipyard at the invitation of Gerald.

The young and strong city dwellers were divided into teams and worked in the shipyard in turn.Many people are not idle after work, using the tools in their hands to polish some corner materials.As long as you meet the requirements, you can also earn a lot.

Small children travel between the dock and the city. They are also divided into multiple teams, and they regularly go to the woman in charge of the food to receive wheat cakes, jerky and stew, put them in special boxes, and send them to the dock as quickly as possible. hands of workers.

Day after day, Jincheng people devote themselves to the construction of sea ships, and have no time to pay attention to other things.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gerald aggressively pursues the stalled plan.

Unlike the last time, everything went smoothly this time, with almost no resistance.Even if there is, it is very small and completely negligible.

The Jincheng people tried their best and tried their best to build two sea-going ships within the time limit.

Due to limited conditions, the two ships were not big, not even comparable to the river boats in the heyday of Shanghai City.But in terms of the structure and firmness of the hull, it is in accordance with Xiao Yun's requirements, and it is enough to ride the wind and waves in the sea.

After the construction of the ship was completed, Gerald led people to check and accept it. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately sent people to Hunter City.

He has no pigeons that can deliver letters, so he can only rely on manpower.

After seeing the convenience of carrier pigeons, Gerald was very envious and wanted to buy two from Ye An.However, seeing Ye An's attitude towards mutant beasts and mutant birds, he quickly gave up his mind.

He fully believes that once he speaks up, let alone a friend, he probably won't even be able to do business in the future.

The people sent by Gerrard arrived in Hunter City and learned that Xiao Yun was not in the city, but was in Fengcheng with Ye An.The sender confirmed that the news was true, did not stop any longer, and returned to Jincheng without stopping.It takes a lot of time on the road to come and go.

After the incident in Fengcheng was over, Xiao Yun and Ye An separated, and when they set off for Jincheng, Gerald was still at a loss as to the purpose of Xiao Yun and Ye An's trip to Fengcheng, as well as what happened in Fengcheng. I don't know.

The convoy appeared on the horizon, bringing with it flying yellow sand, getting closer and closer to Jincheng.

The watchmen at the top of the city noticed the situation and immediately sent an alarm to the city.

Gerald happened to be patrolling the city wall, and when he heard the news, he quickly brought people over.

As the convoy approached, people recognized the marks on the car body one after another, and the expressions on their faces changed from worry to excitement.

So did Gerrard.

When he saw the modified car leading the way, he recognized Xiao Yun who was protruding from the car, he couldn't help waving his hands excitedly, and even joked: "Our rich man is here, open the city gate!"

At the same time, Ye An and his party have also arrived in the delta.

Leaving the wasteland, the withered grass and yellow sand disappeared and were gradually replaced by small rivers and streams scattered here and there.

Most water sources dry up during the dry season, and only some remain to supply the animals and plants that live in the delta.

The modified car moved along the river and crossed a narrow section of water, and the front suddenly opened up.

On the wide river surface, schools of fish are crowded together, and the backs of blue and black fish reflect light.

Several wooden boats came from the upper reaches. When the people on the boat saw the convoy, they were stunned for a moment, and then they were full of excitement and shouted excitedly: "My lord, it's my lord who has returned!"
