In the eastern section of Yuelong Canyon, tens of thousands of laborers were quarried on Duanlong Slope.

It is said that the stones were intended to be used to build the stone city, but strangely, the huge stones collected were piled up under the Broken Dragon Slope, while the soil was transported to Yuelong Canyon to fill the deep ditch.

In order to transport soil, Liuyun City used three thousand beast carts.

Qi Ruhai, the head of the Qi family, stood in front of the Duanlongpo, watching the hard-working quarry laborer: "What is the city lord doing? Dig a mountain of soil and fill deep trenches in the canyon. Isn't this useless work?"

Xu Maosheng pointed to the ragged group of people during the labor service and said, "Look at what that is."

"These people seem to be very poor, but they work very hard." Qi Ruhai observed these people.

"Those were caused by disaster victims and the Tian Yao's chaos, a total of 7,000 people. The city lord said that building the stone city was just to find an excuse to support these people." Xu Maosheng sighed.

A camp was built next to the quarry construction site, and a woman was cooking at home.

Xu Maosheng said: "Not only are the men among the victims who have work to do, but the women are responsible for food, but the Ye family also acquiesced to women bring their children to eat. There is only one thing that the Ye family has strict requirements on women who cook, and they should not be sloppy and wash their hands before cooking."

...

Others thought the Ye family was looking for excuses to support the victims, but Ye Xuan really planned to build a stone city, echoing Liuyun City, forming a horn to block Yuelong Canyon.

Which mountain to quarry is also designated by Ye Xuan.

Because Ye Xuan wanted to change the mountains, rivers and landforms, form a great formation of heaven and earth, and gather spiritual energy.

Duanlongpo is a hill that needs to be removed.

This project is huge and cannot be completed in a short period of time, which is enough to allow this group of victims to survive until the food is mature in the next season.

After Ye Xuan's practice every day, he would go to the quarry site to take a look and confirm that the project was proceeding according to the blueprint he set.

This evening, when I returned to Liuyun City.

There are many ragged victims gathered outside the city gate, and Xu Maosheng is maintaining order.

Ye Xuan rode the flame pedaling horse by the side, looked at Xu Maosheng, and said, "What are you doing? After counting the number of people, you will be sent to Yuelong Canyon. What are you doing when you block the city gate?"

Xu Maosheng quickly reported: "City lord... these are not the victims of our Liuyun City."

"It's not from Liuyun City, why is it here?" Ye Xuan felt a little strange.

"The story of moving mountains and filling the Longgou in Liuyun City has spread. I heard that there is food to eat when working here. The disaster victims from several surrounding counties gathered here to work and want to work for Liuyun City." Xu Maosheng replied.

A disaster victim immediately identified who was the adult from the conversation between the two. He knelt in front of Ye Xuan's horse and begged: "Please, please pity me, master. I don't want wages, as long as my child can have a meal to eat. The villain will never eat too much, and the amount of the child will be deducted from the villain's portion."

Ye Xuan looked at the man and saw that he was a thin black man with calluses on his hands that were different from others, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"The villain belongs to Changbei County, and his family suffered a disaster..."

Before the black and thin man finished speaking, Xu Maosheng interrupted: "The city lord asked you what you did, but didn't ask how you suffered the disaster."

"Yes, yes, yes... The villain is a bricklayer and can also farm. During the busy farming period, the thin black man quickly answered.

"Mason? If you build a city wall, will you?" Ye Xuan asked again.

"Meeting and meeting. Last year in Changbei County, a section of the city wall was knocked down by a monster. It was repaired by a villain." The thin black man answered quickly.

Ye Xuan looked at Xu Maosheng and ordered: "Take down this person's name and let him be responsible for recruiting craftsmen and preparing to build a stone city."

"You really want to build a stone city?" Xu Maosheng was a little surprised. He originally thought that digging mountains and quarrying was just to find work for these victims.

"Of course it's true. Just do what I said."

"Then these victims?" Xu Maosheng looked at the victims surrounding the city gate.

"All hirings, the treatment is the same as before." Ye Xuan finished speaking and entered Liuyun City.

When these victims heard this, they all knelt down and kowtowed, including the crying of women and children.

Xu Maosheng quickly waved to the chief clerk and asked him to count the number of people, and then hurriedly chased Ye Xuan.

"City Lord...City Lord..."

Ye Xuan slowed down and asked him to follow: "What else is there?"

"There are at least 3,000 victims in this group. If this continues, it will definitely attract all the victims within a radius of 300 miles. Would we all accept them?" Xu Maosheng asked.

"I just thought that the number of people was too small. I would collect as many people as I could in the future. I would fill the Yuelonggou as soon as possible."

"But, the number of people may exceed 30,000 by then, and the food in Liuyun City will be eaten up within a month." Xu Maosheng said seriously.

"Then go to the nearby cities and counties to buy food. I don't need to teach you this?"

"This official naturally knows. But if he knew that there were so many disaster victims in Liuyun City, it would be difficult to buy a large amount of food with gold and silver." Xu Maosheng had been a county magistrate for ten years and knew very well that in the year of disaster, even if he had money, he would not be able to buy food.

"Then exchange cultivation resources for it. Can't buy gold and silver, and can't buy elixirs?" Ye Xuan was very dissatisfied with Xu Maosheng's ability to do things this time, and he had to ask about such trivial matters.

Xu Maosheng was stunned and watched Ye Xuan disappear at the end of the street while riding a horse.

Jiuzhou Great 6, food is very important, sometimes even if you have money, it is impossible to buy it, but what is more important than food is the martial artist's cultivation resources.

Warriors are aliens from civilians, have long been freed from the threat of hunger, and have absolute power.

For warriors, it doesn’t matter whether they have food or not. Anyway, they won’t be hungry, so the importance of cultivation resources will always lie above food.

Food that cannot be bought with money can be easily exchanged with cultivation resources.

However, under normal circumstances, few people are willing to exchange cultivation resources for food.

The reason why Xu Maosheng asked Ye Xuan for his opinion was because he didn't expect Ye Xuan would exchange cultivation resources for food without hesitation.

This is the limitation of Xu Maosheng's vision. He cannot see the blueprint in Ye Xuan's heart.

Ye Xuan’s goal is to allow Liuyun City to produce higher-level cultivation resources, so now he has paid some cultivation resources and recruited enough craftsmen to change the mountains and rivers of Yuelong Canyon.

As long as you gather the spiritual energy from the Panlong Mountains into Liuyun City and directly produce third-level cultivation resources, then the one-level second-level cultivation resources you are paying for now will be very cost-effective.

After receiving Ye Xuan's instructions, Xu Maosheng had no worries and immediately went to collect the victims. As long as he was willing to exchange cultivation resources for food, let alone 30,000 victims, he could afford to support him even if he came again.
