Chapter 94 Fortification

"We now have a total of more than 5,000 residents in Dafeng City."

"Among them, there are more than 800 elderly people over the age of sixty, and more than a thousand children under the age of fourteen. Half of the children's parents and family members have lost contact, and now they can only rely on Da Feng City to support them..."

"The rice grains sent by the governor's office in the past few days have not been deducted too much, and they can be maintained in front of us. The amount of materials sent by Liu Zizai is not small. According to a rough estimate, it is enough for Dafeng City to spend three months. Now it is all

It has been sealed and has not been used yet."

"However, young people are not strong enough, so it will still take a long time to rebuild Gale City."

In the renovated main hall of Dafengyuan, Ning Xiu read out the current situation of Dafengyuan.

After everyone heard this, although the trouble still existed, the situation in Dafengyuan was much better than at the beginning.

A full seven or eight days have passed since Li Danqing went to Chunliu City to grab grain. The governor's office has calmed down a lot beyond everyone's expectations. At least there has been no further trouble in terms of rice grain.

Everyone's mood also improved with the situation in Gale City, and they were no longer as gloomy as before.

"And..." Ning Xiu said this and looked at everyone again, slowly took out a stack of banknotes from behind and handed it to Li Danqing.

Li Danqing's eyes naturally lit up when he saw the money. He stretched out his hand to take the banknotes, looked at them intently, and was shocked...

Each banknote was clearly printed with a huge amount of ten thousand taels. Li Danqing counted them carefully and found that there were ten such banknotes.

"This one hundred thousand taels of silver is..." Li Danqing, who held such a huge sum of money, was also a little confused. He looked up at Ning Xiu and asked strangely.

"Liuxiang was sent by someone." Ning Xiu rolled her eyes at him and added: "She has told the dean that the money should not be used for gambling anymore!"

"Liu Xiang is still considerate." Li Danqing obviously didn't hear the last part of Ning Xiu's words, and just put the ten silver notes into his arms with a smile on his face.

Ning Xiu frowned slightly when he saw this, and regretted handing the money to Li Danqing at this time.

She said: "Nowadays, the price of food has skyrocketed. It has recently increased from one tael of silver per catty to one or two taels of sixteen cents. I am wondering whether we should use this money..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Danqing interrupted him with a stern expression: "The price of food is so high because of the hoarding by profiteers. It is a business that is hard to make money for the country. Let's not drive up prices. As disciples of Dafengyuan

, Xiao Ningxiu, you don’t even have this level of ideological awareness, I’m very disappointed in you.”

Li Danqing spoke so seriously that everyone present was stunned for a moment, and the looks they looked at Li Danqing became strange, and they secretly wondered why they hadn't noticed that the dean of his family was so ruthless in the past.

Only Qingzhu, who knew the details of Li Danqing, rolled his eyes at that time.

She knew that her young master was obviously reluctant to bear it, so he put it in his pocket without covering the warm money.

It is said that the poorer the people, the more they love money.

Little did he know that this young master who was once rich cared more about money than the poor. Qingzhu thought, this is what is said in the past.



Nowadays, Gale City is in dire need of renovation. After having lunch with everyone, Li Danqing hurriedly came to the city and organized the young people in the city to go to the nearby forest to mine stones and cut down trees.

The weather is getting colder day by day. Even though it is already early summer, the temperature at night is still freezing enough to make people shiver. Rebuilding Dafeng City as soon as possible is now the most urgent task for Li Danqing and others.

Li Danqing and others had a clear division of labor. Xue Yun and his party took Qing Zhuang to work outside the city, while Li Danqing directed everyone to carry out construction work in the city.

The previous layout and planning of Dafeng City was not satisfactory, and the construction of the city was chaotic. But this time since it had completely collapsed, Li Danqing simply carried out drastic reconstruction. He divided the entire residential area around Dafeng Courtyard, and because of the population of Dafeng City

There was a sudden decrease in the land boundary that was naturally needed. A large area of ​​open space was left on the periphery, but Li Danqing did not arrange it. There were many craftsmen who were proficient in this matter among the residents who also raised questions, but Li Danqing

Dan Qing was quite insistent on this matter and just asked everyone to build another city wall outside the residential area.

This kind of approach seems somewhat unreasonable, and it is suspected of wasting people's money and wasting money.

But first of all, Li Danqing had accumulated enough prestige in rescuing victims, and secondly, Li Danqing put the construction of interior walls after the construction of private houses, so no one raised much opposition.

At this moment, the people in the city were busy with Li Danqing's planning and pointing out, while Li Shizi was sitting leisurely not far away, with a case table set up, facing a piece of rice paper, writing and drawing on it.

Liu Yan, who had just brought back a large amount of stones and wood from the forest with a group of young men, was passing by. She came up with some curiosity and looked intently at Li Danqing's drawings.

But what I saw on the drawing was clearly the topographic map of Gale City.

Under Li Danqing's plan, the entire Dafeng City was surrounded by residential buildings surrounding Dafeng Courtyard. The perimeter of the residential houses not only had the original city wall, but also the inner wall proposed by Li Danqing. From the drawings, it seems that Li Shizi was also planning to build inner and outer walls.

Another city wall was built between them. At the same time, Li Danqing painted many strange symbols on the two blank areas between the three city walls, as if he was preparing to build some buildings.

"This Gale City is in the hinterland of Yingshui County, and I haven't heard of any bandits or robbers around. Who does the dean want to guard against by building so many walls?" Liu Yanzhen asked curiously.

Li Danqing, who was immersed in his own world, came back to his senses when he heard this. He looked at Liu Yan and said, "Are you prepared for any trouble... I'm just painting for fun..."

Liu Yanzhen wrinkled

She always felt something was wrong about her brows.

Something was wrong with Li Danqing, and something was wrong with her father. She could clearly see that there was a large amount of armor or weapons in the materials his father sent last time...

Thinking of this, she was startled and thought to herself: Could it be that her father and the dean were planning to rebel?

With this thought, Liu Yanzhen suddenly turned pale...

Thinking like this, Liu Yan really didn't know what to say for a while.

But at this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the direction of the city gate.

According to past experience, with such sounds, there is a 80% chance that people from the Sheriff's Mansion are coming, and when they arrive, there is a 100% chance that something bad will happen.

Liu Yanzhen thought to himself: No way, the incident has been revealed before it even started?

Am I going to be a widow?!

Before Liu Yan could really think about it, a large group of purple sword guards rushed into Gale City.

After experiencing many things, the people in the city naturally didn't have any good impressions of these people from the Sheriff's Mansion. They put down their work one by one and turned their heads to look at the group of soldiers who rushed into the crowd with vigilance.

"What are you going to do!" In line with the principles that it is easy to be a rebel, but not a widow, and follow the principles of marrying a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog, Liu Yanzhen stopped in front of Li Danqing, holding a knife and looking at the group of uninvited guests.

.

However, the group of purple sword guards did not shout and kill each other as they did several times before. The leader turned over and dismounted, took off the armor on his head and looked at Li Danqing who looked past Liu Yanzhen behind him.

"I'm Huang Chou! By order of the governor, I ask Lord Li to go to Yingshui City with me to investigate the truth behind the destruction of Yangshan!"

As soon as Huang Chou said this, everyone in the Dafeng Courtyard gathered around and stood in front of Li Danqing.

"This matter has been made clear a long time ago. It was done by Youyun's spies! It has nothing to do with our dean!" This matter is a big deal, and if you are not careful, you will lose your head, even Luo An'an, who has never been good at speaking.

He also immediately retorted to Huang Qiu.

"Right and wrong cannot be determined by your one-sided words. I have an arrest warrant issued by the court and the county magistrate's office. If you don't have any evil intentions in your heart, what's the harm in accompanying me? If you resist arrest, then Mr. Huang will follow the above

With my order, you can be killed without mercy!" Huang Qiu said calmly, turning a blind eye to the hostility displayed by everyone.

Everyone had ugly expressions when they heard this, but they still stood there firmly at that time, with no intention of retreating.

"No problem."

"Your Majesty is a wise king, so he will naturally not frame innocent people."

"Li Danqing walks and sits upright, so he has nothing to fear."

But at this moment, Li Danqing's voice suddenly came from behind. Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Danqing slowly walked forward and looked at Huang Qiu saying this with a smile.
