Start a city building order

Chapter 256 Darkness
For more than ten days, Li Si was digging stones every day.

As if possessed by a demon, he only sleeps for a few hours every day, and besides eating, he is just digging stones.

Other things, such as taking advantage of laziness, he sees in his eyes, but he doesn't say anything. He seems to like this kind of state where he doesn't think about anything and just concentrates on working.

Practical.

And this kind of down-to-earth state finally stabilized the hearts of the people in the whole village, and even those who wanted to take advantage of it and were lazy before finally became honest in this big environment.

There are only 197 of them in total, and there are more than 100 of them digging stones with him every day. Can help light the fire.

No matter if it was Mr. Zhang, old men like Sangmen Nail, or middle-aged men like Wang Shuangxi and Shi Laoer, or those old ladies who liked to chew their tongues behind their backs, even if it was a few half-closed doors in the past, such as Sister Sang.

Everyone's hearts have settled down. This kind of stability is not a wealth, not a high position, but a rare kind of confidence. They have the confidence to change this barren place with their own efforts.

This barren land is becoming their new home.

This matter, just thinking about it, will make them look forward to it.

Now no one is talking about Li Si being taken away by the Demon Execution Division anymore. It's not that it has become irrelevant, but Li Si's personal actions have made this matter ridiculous.

In half a month, he led people to dig out more than 200 acres of rocks, big rocks, small stones, and piles of stones, countless, and the dug out stones were piled up into mountains.

A large pit nearly ten meters deep was dug out on the ground, and then the ground was finally covered with dirt.

In the eyes of the people in Qingshanfang, this is simply an event that refreshes their three views. In ancient times, there was a foolish old man who moved mountains, and now there are green mountains and lands.

Nothing is more convincing than this!

The old man who originally looked down on this place has been working harder recently.

People who originally had resentment have recently been convinced.

Even the toughest old women are different.

They all saw hope.

Only the two spies from the Demon Execution Division watched dramas every day, and they would not give up doubting Li Si because of these, they were waiting for Li Si to show his flaws.

In the outpost on the top of Xiliang Mountain, some soldiers would occasionally come over, because they needed supplies every three days, and occasionally soldiers who had vacations would go to Xixia City to play.

But more, he was attracted by the aroma of the food here.

Civilian and martial monks can't fasten food, not to mention the soldiers of these martial artists and great martial artists. In fact, their food is not bad. First, they are just curious, and second, because they eat here for free.

Although it was probably the Demon Execution Division reported by the school captain Bian Yi, Li Si would not take his anger out on these soldiers, and some of them were willing to come over to eat and add a pair of chopsticks.

The material supply and food standard here may not be as good as Xixia City, but it is definitely second to none among the common people.

But Li Si didn't deliberately ask for anything, that is, after some soldiers asked if there was a half-closed door here, and then a woman recommended Sang Xiaomei and other women, he slapped the woman.

It's a line.

The time for land reclamation seemed to pass very quickly, especially when there was no war in the north of Xixia Pass for a long time.

There are a total of [-] soldiers in the outpost on Xiliang Mountain, and now ten soldiers can be given a vacation quota every day.

After Zangmending once again led a convoy to purchase a large amount of supplies, he also brought back news that the price of monsters had tripled, and even the entire Xixia Pass, with a defense line of several hundred miles, had not seen large-scale goods for two months. The tide of monsters is infested.

In previous years, one month later, it should be the time when large-scale beast hordes gather and the overwhelming sea of ​​monster beasts breaks through.

This is not normal.

As in previous years, business houses and convoys from all directions gathered in Xixia City. They are planning to buy a large number of monsters after the war. A large number of monsters are like fishing seasons in the sea, which will bring them a lot of wealth, and these Monster beasts will be decomposed and processed from head to toe, alchemy for alchemy, talisman making for talismans. It can be said that these monsters support the unscrupulous world of cultivating immortals in this world.

However, the uncertainty of the tide of monsters and beasts has caused the prices of various items with monsters as the main material to skyrocket, and even the price of Lingmi has skyrocketed by more than five times, and the elixir that can restore vitality has become even more ruthless. The demon stock.

Three months ago, the vitality pill that Li Si sold was normally priced at one immortal stone, but now it has become five immortal stones.

Martial masters and great martial artists can no longer afford it.

Therefore, grain prices are also rising. Fortunately, Xixiaguan’s hundreds of years of farming functions have played a major role at this moment. Even polished rice has only increased by [-]%, and brown rice has increased by [-]%.

The people still have food in every family.

However, Li Si thinks that this is just the beginning, and it's hard to say anything until he finds out why the number of monsters has decreased significantly.

"In three months, it will be winter. We have already opened [-] acres of land. At this time, it is too late to plant crops, and all of them are raw soil, and they will not grow long. But if you have time, You can grow some small vegetables, dry them in the sun, or store them in other ways. In winter, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, we can sit in front of the stove, drink some shochu, and eat some small dishes. It should be very good.”

"And next, I plan to use three months to build a stone wall. Without this stone wall, I will always be unstable."

During dinner at night, Li Si spoke calmly, despite the fact that he has been working in silence for the past few months, in fact, he has his own plans.

But it is definitely not a plan to achieve a certain purpose. Just like today, the two spies from the Demon Killing Division still think that he is a huge suspect, even though they are already familiar with the young and old in Qingshanfang. I will also tease the aunt who is cooking, or come here for a meal.

Even they simply lived in, day and night, 24 hours a day, Li Si would not be allowed to leave 100 meters away from them.

But it's useless, they won't understand Li Si's plan.

Like now, these two are at another dining table more than ten meters away, listening carefully with their ears up, so what, Li Si should do as he should.

"Young Escort, the food in Xixia City has increased recently, should we stock up on some more?" Sangmen Ding asked at this time, he is now in charge of dealing with the outside world at Qingshanfang, and all the purchases of materials are handled by him Disposal, so he is also very sensitive to price.

"There is no need to stock up for the time being. The current food supply is enough for 500 people to eat until next winter, and Xixia City has been farming for hundreds of years. There are countless farmland here. As long as it is not an irreversible disaster year, there is basically no need to worry about starvation. However, there are Some materials need to be purchased for storage, Lao Sang, please remember, Qiandie Steel from Laoquan Iron Company, Chiyuan Steel from Wangma Iron Ring, Wujin Charcoal from Wumu Charcoal Company, herbal medicine list from Xuji Medicine Company, those 150 kinds of herbs, Buy as much as you have, Qiansi gauze, cotton cloth, cotton cloth of Jiang's cloth shop, if there is gold silk cloth, you can buy a few pieces."

Although Li Si hasn't been to Xixia City for three months, he still knows the merchants in the east and west cities like the palm of his hand, and the two spies from the Demon Killing Division even interrogated him on this matter, but he calmly took out a whole box The notes left the two guys stunned and helpless.

Because it's not considered evidence.

Of course, Li Si would not say that Yu Datou, a Ninth-Rank Wen monk who is good at temple calculations and martial arts, is currently in the convoy of the mourning nail. His ability to investigate and collect information is better than Li Si.

The information he sorted out was reviewed by Li Si, and he couldn't hide any movement in the market from him.

Now, they are just waiting for the moment when the storm will come.

Next, Li Si piled up stone walls in an orderly manner, and purchased various materials from the market in an orderly manner. About a month later, the change finally came.

I don't know how the decision was made within the Great Xia Immortal Kingdom. The new emperor of the Great Xia Immortal Kingdom decided to launch an active attack on the Yaozu. This was the first time in hundreds of years.

And the main direction of attack is Xixia Pass. The Great Xia Immortal Kingdom has sent millions of troops. This news is really exciting for the whole country. Well, at least in Xixia City, it has become a sea of ​​joy.

The tens of thousands of businessmen and all the shops that rely on monsters to live are all smiling. We are not used to the absence of monsters.

If the monsters don't come to attack, we will take the initiative to attack.

And in such a carnival, there is another piece of inconspicuous news.

Ouyang Shu, a former deputy commander in chief of Xixia Pass, a vigorous promoter of the garrison strategy, and a third-rank literary monk, was dismissed from office and exiled.

It was also on such a night that the two spies from the Demon Killing Division appeared in front of Li Si.

"Your luck is good, we have more important targets to deal with now, and you, although you are still suspected, but we really have no evidence, you just hope that the situation will not change more, otherwise, don't think that we are going to kill you." Mosi doesn't understand what it means to kill a mistake rather than let it go."

Li Si remained silent, only his eyes were firm and unyielding, and he didn't give the other side any chance.

The two spies from the Demon Execution Division chuckled, turned and left.

One evening three days later, the mourning nail returned with the convoy, which was full of supplies, and Li Si went to unload the goods as usual. This was the most common scene in the past few months, and the mourning nail also needed to report to him at this time. Reporting the situation in Xixia City was the only channel for him to understand the outside world. The two spies from the Demon Killing Division had listened to it every day in the past, and their ears were tired of hearing it, and they didn't find any flaws.

But today—

"Boss, I have already confirmed that the two spies were indeed recruited away, and there was nothing eavesdropping in these vehicles. Han Zheng gave a safe gesture. Those two spies from the Demon Killing Division were trained in Qingshanfang The few spies are all at a safe distance, but in the barracks on the top of the mountain, there should be two spies from the Demon Slayer Division who are good at lip-talking and staring at you right now."

Yu Datou, carrying two bags of grain, said quickly as he passed by.

And Li Si just sat in the sunset, chatting with the funeral nail, under the gaze of everyone.

In fact, it was the dead man who was talking, and Li Si was listening, and now he was used to silence.

However, in the soil under the death nail, he was writing quickly with his fingers, "There was indeed a traitor in the first day of the historical alliance, or more precisely, the civil and military monks who entered history in this world became history." Contractor, your name, Li Gou Counseling, has been exposed, but the good news is that they don't know who you are in this world."

"What happened to the monster race in this world?"

Li Si also quickly wrote on the dirt that the current death nail is actually Qin Qiong. This unlucky guy was discovered by Yu Datou three months ago, and then he tried to hide it. In the past few months, Qin Qiong has been studying The look, tone, and movements of the dead man, he even cut off one of his own legs because of it...

And now, that dedication has finally paid off.

Today, I took a chance, and Yu Datou easily turned over the door nails, hid him in the dark compartment of the carriage, and let Qin Qiong pretend to be him.

This is very important, because Qin Qiong can contact the historical alliance, and there is a lot of information that Li Si can't analyze with all his brains, maybe it's just a sentence.

"Hey, it was written by the nine saints of the Nine Heavens of the Historical Alliance. The previous civil and military saints exterminated the mountain ghosts and finally annoyed them, but they were not good at killing the human race, so they slaughtered some monsters... "

"Some?"

"Yes, just a few, not many, that is, it will make it difficult for the Yaozu to break out the beast tide in the next ten years."

"Grass!"

Li Si was secretly startled, how ruthless!
