However, Bai Yi's anger made Lao Yang think highly of him.
This proves that our city lord is a truly good person, otherwise he would not be angry for the lives of dozens of people.
After all, these days, the lives of the people at the bottom are worthless.
At least until the old man like the city lord came, it was normal for people to freeze to death and starve to death.
It is as natural as eating when you are hungry and drinking water when you are thirsty.
——
Lao Yang was very happy to hear the words "fish production" because it meant that the city lord wanted to break the ice and start a fishing industry or something.
This made him a little worried, because the city lord made it clear that things must be done on a first-come, first-served basis.
What if, after the lake is opened, the right to use the lake is given to the people of Baicheng, that would be a bit disappointing...
——
Forget it, why do you think so much?
I had just made his old man angry, and the top priority now was to finish the things he had arranged.
Thinking of this, Lao Yang couldn't help but speed up his pace.
At the same time, I look forward to knowing more when we meet again.
——
The old sheep left, walked carefully.
As soon as he stepped forward, Bai Yi, who had a serious look on his back, immediately changed his face.
I saw him walking towards the tea box that was thrown on the ground with a distressed look on his face and muttering:
"I should have known better."
When Old John saw this, he immediately understood and said:
"City Lord, could it be that you just..."
"It's good to know in your heart."
"So that's it. I asked you why you suddenly got angry."
Old John breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Bai Yi would be broken.
Bai Yize said:
"Character design is all character design. Those old missionaries taught me, just know it, but don't go out and talk nonsense."
"clear."
"Okay, don't be stunned. Help me find where I lost it. This tea is so expensive. I feel bad if I lose a piece of it."
"good."
After saying that, he also squatted down and started to help Bai Yi collect the tea leaves.

That afternoon, a birdman came to the door and brought over the charged [mobile phone] and the transformed Xia Lingzhu.
Bai Yi didn't think there was any change in the bead, so he called:
"Are you sure you got it right?"
"I'm pretty sure it's true, respected Lord Brave."
"How to use it?"
"Just throw it into the center of the lake."
"What's the range?"
"The lake is as big as it is."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"At least the ice and snow under our feet is enough."
"Can you throw it into the river?"
"It can only be effective if placed in relatively forbidden waters, my careful hero."
"Okay, thanks."
With that said, he was ready to hang up.
"Besides... Brave-sama." But the other party mentioned it again abruptly.
"Is there anything else?"
"After a while, I will buy an extremely precious product. I wonder if you are interested."
"What product?"
"You will know by then. In short, this product is very special. If used properly, it can exert great potential value."
"Okay, let me know when the goods arrive, and I'll take a look. Well...can I ask how much it costs?"
"Fifty thousand gold."
"Do I need another loan? I hope it's as good as you say."
"You will not be disappointed, my generous hero."
——
Three days later, the old sheep came panting.
He brought a large set of drawings and said:
"City Lord, this is all the ice lake information around Black Village. I collected it and sent it to you as soon as possible. You can take a look."
"Thank you for your hard work, sit down."
"well!"
He sat on the sofa nearby, and Old John poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.
Although Lao Yang said thank you for taking it, his eyes never left Bai Yi's face.
It was obvious that he was very nervous and really wanted to know whether this lake was for Baicheng or Heicun.
"take it easy."
Old John smiled and patted his shoulder. The latter smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and cast his eyes on Bai Yi's face.
Just like that, half an hour passed.
Bai Yi temporarily knew the general situation of these lakes.
In the end, he chose a lake only two miles away from Black Village.
The reason why I chose this lake is that after comprehensive consideration, this lake is close to Heicun Village and is also the largest lake.
No, strictly speaking, this size cannot be described as a lake, it is simply a small sea.
Although there are larger lakes further away, they are too far away from Heicun and may be inconvenient to maintain.
So this lake is undoubtedly the one with the best value for money.
——
With an idea in mind, Bai Yi asked:
"How many people are there in Black Village now?"
"If we return to the city lord, there will be about 80,000 people."
"80,000?"
Bai Yi was shocked:
"Why so many?"
Although I was mentally prepared for the rapid growth of the population, I really didn't expect it to grow so fast.
It suddenly became 80 times the size of Baicheng. You must know that there were only two people in Black Village before.
"With such a city lord, villagers from all the villages near Heicun have moved here, that's why there are so many."
"Is it still growing?"
"Yes, but it has not risen as fast as it did in the beginning. Now, only a few hundred people are defecting every day."
"That's quite a lot... Is there enough room in the village?"
"It's not enough, so many people have built simple sheds outside the village. Although the conditions are a bit difficult, everyone has long been used to living a hard life, so it's nothing."
“Is grass eating enough?”
"Enough is enough. The city lord gave us the grassland in the west, and now the grass has continued to spread further west, and we can't see the end of it. Of course it is enough.
Not only that, snowshoe hares were recently discovered in the pasture.
It shows that the ecology is getting better.”
"Eighty thousand people is not a small number. We must take good care of public security and never cause any riots."
"Don't worry, City Lord, John has reminded me before, so I have been recruiting strong young men from the refugees.
Now, there are about 5,000 militiamen in Black Village, which is enough to maintain order."
"Is it developing so fast..."
"After all, most demons are more fertile than humans."
"Okay."
He nodded, handed the drawing of the lake to the other party, and said:
"This is the lake. I will go over there tomorrow and unblock the ice on this lake. You can have someone prepare it."
"Yes, yes."
"From then on, the jurisdiction of this lake belongs to you, Black Village. This lake is very large and has abundant fish, enough to feed you.
But we can’t waste food just because the production is large. We must exercise moderation when we should, and we must keep fishing closed when we should.
The specific arrangements will depend on you as the village chief."
"Understood, I understand. I will study the plan as soon as I get back."
After getting the answer, Lao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was visibly brightened with joy.
Seeing Bai Yi again, he continued:
"I plan to set up markets in Baicheng and Heicun to facilitate business between the two sides.
Baicheng is mainly responsible for livestock raising such as chickens, ducks and geese, while Heicun is responsible for fisheries.
When you go back, choose a place in Heicun, and when the dust settles, I want the market to open as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll go back and get it right away."
"In addition, all this is the will of my lord Luya, do you understand?"
"It's clear, I know how to tell them."
