After leaving Guiyun City, Jun Jiuji ordered the group to split into two groups. He took Xiao Ning'er and rode on Feixue, heading to Hanluo City first.
Although she had been mentally prepared early in the morning, when she actually arrived at Hanluo City, Ye Yining was still shocked by the remoteness and desolation here.
"Brother Ninth, there don't seem to be many people in this city!"
Looking down from the air, Hanluo City is only about the size of a small town, with sparse houses and not many people living there.
The buildings in the center of the city are old and dilapidated, much like an abandoned city.
When the flying snow fell to the ground, Jun Jiuji took Xiao Ning'er off the horse and then explained.
"This place was affected by the previous Xiliang crust. Houses and farmland were damaged, and more than half of the people moved away. There are indeed not many people living there now."
"So where are we going to stay?"
Ye Yining looked around and felt that there were not many complete houses in the city.
"We won't stay here for now. I'll take you to stay at the One-Night Thousand Gold City in Xiliang later."
Jun Jiuji has already made up his mind to let people clean up Hanluo City first.
Although the new emperor meant for them to stay in the fiefdom of Hanluo City, he and Xiao Ning'er did not necessarily have to live here.
Ye Yining was silent for a while, and suddenly gently pulled Jun Jiuji's hand.
"Brother Ninth, let's rebuild Hanluo City! We won't go to One Night Thousand Gold City."
She might be able to live more comfortably by going to the City of One Night, but she wouldn't be able to earn any merit points in a short period of time.
But rebuilding Hanluo City is different. Letting people rebuild their homes is a good deed in itself.
She feels that doing something meaningful will be a win-win choice.
Jun Jiuji lowered his head and looked at Xiao Ning'er in his arms, and said softly: "Don't you want to live in the One-Night Thousand Gold City?"
Ye Yining shook his head, "The new emperor gave you this dilapidated city as a fiefdom, which is a kind of suppression and fear in itself. You said, if we manage Hanluo City well, he and the old witch in the palace will not
Will you be so angry?"
Jun Jiuji smiled and rubbed her head, "Then let's go to the government office in the city first."
"Um."
The two held hands and went to the government office in the city together.
However, the government office was in tatters and there was no one at all.
It wasn't until Ye Yining and the others walked out with a lamp that a man smelling of alcohol staggered over.
"You...are...who are you?"
Jun Jiuji frowned slightly, "Where are the people in this government office?"
"I...I am...the...person who manages this place...uh..."
After the man burped, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Ye Yining sighed silently, then ordered the pharmacy to make a hangover pill, and then used a little mental energy to pop it into the man's mouth.
After taking the hangover pill, the man sobered up quickly.
Seeing Queen Ji, he quickly knelt down.
"Ji...His Royal Highness King Ji!"
Ye Yining breathed a sigh of relief. The other party still knew Jun Jiuji. It seemed that he was an official.
"Why are you so drunk?"
Jun Jiuji looked at the man kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes.
"Hui... King Huiji, I am Han Xiao, the master of Hanluo City Government Office. The previous magistrate died of the plague, and the court has never replaced anyone. I... I am drinking, firstly to keep warm, and secondly, because
…”
The next words were stuck in the other person's throat and couldn't come out.
Jun Jiuji glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Get up! Hanluo City is my king's fiefdom now. Please tell me about the situation here."
"yes."
Han Xiao quickly stood up and spoke truthfully about the situation in Hanluo City.
"There are not many intact houses in Hanluo City now, and the farmland that has not been destroyed is only half of its original size. Most of the people who have not left have moved to the city. There are not many people, probably only three to five hundred people..."
While Han Xiao was reporting the situation to Jun Jiuji, Ye Yining walked outside, took out the two-pole Xuanguang flashlight and turned it around.
Soon, the dark Hanluo City suddenly became illuminated.
Basically without looking at the city boundary map, Ye Yining could tell how big Hanluo City was from the area covered by the light.
However, considering that the sudden dawn in Hanluocheng would attract too many people's attention, she quickly turned off the two-pole Xuanguang flashlight.
Han Xiao, who was talking to King Ji, stared blankly at the sudden changes outside and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Jun Jiuji stood up and ordered: "Gather the people together first and light up Hanluo City with lamps. Do the rest step by step."
"yes."
Han Xiao nodded and left quickly.
When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but take another look at Princess Ji.
Princess Ji under the lamplight was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy. He thought he was being deceived just now.
Ye Yining didn't pay attention to Han Xiao's gaze, but handed him a palace lantern with a focusing charm on it.
"Take it!"
"Thank you... thank you Princess Ji!"
Han Xiao gratefully and movedly pulled the lamp, bent down and saluted, and then left quickly.
Ye Yining turned around and was looking at Jun Jiuji when Ling Gui suddenly made a sound.
"Master, you just gained three thousand merit points from Han Xiao!"
Ye Yining was very surprised, "He is actually a person with great merit?"
She thought this Han Xiao was a drunkard who was living his life!
"Hanluo City is like this and he hasn't left yet. I guess he is a person who cares about the people." Ling Gui said.
Ye Yining nodded. She felt that she had underestimated Han Xiao before.
"What is Xiao Ning'er thinking about?"
Seeing Xiao Ning'er suddenly nodding, Jun Jiuji asked doubtfully.
Ye Yining chuckled lightly and pointed at Han Xiao who was walking away.
"I just discovered that he might be a good person with a very benevolent heart."
Jun Jiuji nodded slightly, "Although he is a little confused, he is a person who cares about the people."
"Hmm. Brother Ninth, do you think we should set up a light array on the street?"
Ye Yining feels that lighting up the street lights may be more important.
After Jun Jiuji thought deeply for a moment, he said softly: "Maybe we can build a lantern tower."
Ye Yining's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Yes, both lighthouses and lighthouses can be used. Moreover, whether it is a lighthouse or a lighthouse, a light array can be set up."
This is much better than lighting a few lights on the street.
"I'll tell people to do it later. Xiao Ning'er, you can take a rest and think about where to build our mansion."
The houses in the city were too shabby, and Jun Jiuji did not intend to let Xiao Ning'er find a place to live in the city.
Ye Yining shook his head, "I'll make the lantern tower. Brother Ninth, you choose the location of the mansion!"
After saying that, she immediately ordered the craftsman room and the spiritual weapon room to jointly build the lantern tower.
She requested that the lamp tower should be beautiful, and it should also be easy to make a lamp array to illuminate all directions.
As soon as her idea was formed, countless black ice flew out of the ice cellar in the Yaolingxian Residence and rushed towards the spiritual weapon room.
When Ye Yining was confused, a suction force suddenly pulled her back to Yaolingxianju.
