God Emperor of Sword Domain

Chapter 349 Cultivation Resource Food
In the eastern section of Yuelong Canyon, tens of thousands of laborers are quarrying stones on Duanlongpo.

It is said that the stones are going to be used to build the stone city, but it is strange that the huge stones quarried are piled up under the Duanlongpo, while the soil has to be transported to the Yuelong Canyon to fill the deep ditch.

In order to transport the soil, Floating Cloud City used three thousand animal carts.

Qi Ruhai, the Patriarch of the Qi Family, stood in front of the Duanlongpo, looking at the hard labor of quarrying: "What is the city master doing? Digging a mountain of soil and filling the deep trench in the canyon, isn't this doing useless work?"

Xu Maosheng pointed to a group of ragged people in labor, and said, "Look at what that is."

"These people look very poor, but they work very hard." Qi Ruhai observed these people.

"Those are disaster victims, caused by the demon's chaos. There are a total of 7000 people. The city owner said he was building a stone city, but in my opinion, it's just a way to support these people." Xu Maosheng sighed.

Next to the quarry site, a camp was built, and there were women living and cooking.

Xu Maosheng said: "Not only the men among the victims have jobs, but the women are responsible for the food, and the Ye family tacitly allows the women to bring their children to eat. The only thing is that the Ye family has strict requirements on the women who cook. Sloppy, wash your hands before cooking."

……

Others thought that the Ye family was looking for an excuse to feed the victims, but Ye Xuan really planned to build a stone city, echoing the Liuyun city, and closing off the Yuelong Canyon.

Which mountain to quarry was also designated by Ye Xuan.

Because Ye Xuan wants to change the landforms of mountains and rivers to form a large array of heaven and earth to gather spiritual energy.

Duanlongpo is a hillside that needs to be removed.

This project is huge and cannot be completed in a short period of time, which is enough for the victims to survive until the next season's food is ripe.

After Ye Xuan finished his practice every day, he would go to the quarry site to take a look to make sure that the project was proceeding according to the blueprint he had set.

This evening, when we returned to Floating Cloud City.

Xu Maosheng was maintaining order when he found a lot of victims in ragged clothes gathered outside the city gate.

Ye Xuan rode past on the Flaming Horse, glanced at Xu Maosheng, and said, "What are you doing? After counting the number of people, they will be sent to Yuelong Canyon. What are you doing at the gate of the city?"

Xu Maosheng hurriedly reported: "City Master...these are not victims of our Floating Cloud City."

"It's not from Floating Cloud City, why are you here?" Ye Xuan felt a little strange.

"The news about Liuyun City moving mountains to fill up the Longgou has spread. I heard that there is food for us to work here. The disaster victims from several surrounding counties have gathered here, wanting to work for Liuyun City." Xu Maosheng replied.

From the conversation between the two, a disaster victim immediately recognized who was the lord. He quickly knelt down in front of Ye Xuan's horse and begged, "Please, sir, have pity on me. I don't want wages, as long as my As long as the child has something to eat, the villain will never eat too much, and the child will deduct from the villain's portion as much as the child eats."

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

"The villain is from Changbei County, and the family suffered a disaster..."

Before the black and thin man could finish speaking, Xu Maosheng interrupted: "The city lord asked what you do, but didn't ask how you got hurt."

"Yes yes yes... the villain is a mason and he can farm the land. He does it during the busy season." The black and thin man replied quickly.

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

"Yes, yes, last year in Changbei County, a section of the city wall was knocked down by a monster, and it was repaired by the villain." The black and thin man quickly replied.

Ye Xuan looked at Xu Maosheng, and ordered: "Write down the name of this person, and let him be responsible for recruiting craftsmen to build the stone city."

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

"Of course it's true. Just do as I tell you."

"Then these victims?" Xu Maosheng looked at the victims surrounded in front of the city gate.

"All are hired, and the treatment is the same as before." Ye Xuan rode his horse into Floating Cloud City after speaking.

When these victims heard this, they all knelt down and kowtowed, and there were many women and children crying in gratitude.

Xu Maosheng hurriedly beckoned the master over, ordered him to count the number of people, and then hurriedly chased after Ye Xuan.

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

Ye Xuan slowed down the horse and let him follow up: "What else is there?"

"There are at least 3000 victims in this batch. If this continues, all the victims within a radius of [-] miles will definitely be attracted. Shall we accept them all?" Xu Maosheng asked.

"Take them all. I think the number of people is too small. I will accept as many people as there are in the future. I want to fill up the Yuelong ditch as soon as possible."

"However, the number of people may exceed 3 by then, and the food in Floating Cloud 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 subordinate naturally knows. It's just that if the nearby city knows that there are so many disaster victims in Liuyun City, it may be difficult to buy a large amount of food with gold and silver." There was no food to buy.

"Then exchange it with cultivation resources. If you can't buy gold and silver, can't you buy pills?" Ye Xuan was very dissatisfied with Xu Maosheng's ability to handle affairs this time, so he always came to ask about such trivial matters.

Xu Maosheng was taken aback, and watched Ye Xuan disappear at the end of the street on horseback.

In the mainland of Kyushu, food is very important, and sometimes money can't buy it, but more important than food is the training resources of warriors.

A warrior is an existence that is detached from the common people. He has long since gotten rid of the threat of hunger and has absolute power.

For warriors, it doesn't matter if they have food or not, they won't be hungry anyway, so cultivation resources are always more important than food.

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

However, under normal circumstances, very few people would be willing to exchange cultivation resources for food.

The reason why Xu Maosheng wanted to ask Ye Xuan for his opinion was because he did not expect that Ye Xuan would trade 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 let Floating Cloud City produce higher-level cultivation resources, so he needs to spend part of the cultivation resources and recruit enough craftsmen to change the landscape of Yuelong Canyon.

As long as the spiritual energy in the Panlong Mountains is gathered in Floating Cloud City, and the Tier [-] training resources will be produced directly at that time, then the little Tier [-] training resources that are paid now are very cost-effective.

After receiving Ye Xuan's order, 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 [-] victims, even [-] more could afford it.
