It was half a month later when I returned to Yuecheng.

Calculate the time, Heijiu and Liuzi have been away for about a month.

The moment the carriage arrived, you could see countless construction materials at the city gate from afar.

After passing through the city gate, from a distance, there was nothing on the earth and all the houses and buildings were demolished.

There is only a row of simple greenhouses set in the distance.

During this period, the people are all living there.

"grown ups!!!"

From a distance, I saw the deputy city lord Al running over.

Then we get together to report on the situation.

The current progress is very simple. The deposit for the builder has been paid, and the other party has also sent all the materials.

It depends on when Heijiu thinks it will be better to start construction.

Since he is back, Hei Jiu naturally chooses to start now.

After choosing a plan he liked from the builder, the whole town began to be busy with the cumbersome construction of construction.

At the same time, the open space outside the city also began to be built in the greenhouse.

——

Heijiu came to the lake to the west.

Then, he flew to the center of swordsmanship, smashed a hole in the ice surface, and put down the summer beads contained in the metal box with the exposed holes.

The reason why I brought the box was to prevent fish from swallowing the beads by mistake and then being salvaged by the fishermen.

When the box containing beads was placed under the water, the ice on the entire lake surface changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just over ten minutes, the ice surface completely disappeared.

Seeing this, the people watching by the lake cheered, especially those fishermen who specialize in fishing.

When he flew to the shore with his sword, facing the admiring eyes that everyone cast, Hei Jiu just said:

"The fishing ban period is half a month. Let's look at the situation in the lake. If there is no problem, the normal fishery can be restored."

"yes!"

Everyone nodded. Although they might not understand, they must be right.

Now the city people have a simple idea of ​​Hei Jiu, that is, the new city lord is a saint, their father and mother, and their parents.

After all, these days they have already learned about Heijiu's plan to reform in the city.

I have to repair my house and find things for myself, and give myself food. How many good things did I do in my previous life to meet such a city lord?

And it is said that all this was paid by the city lord privately, so how can the city residents not be moved?

It can be seen from this that Heijiu's position in their hearts is as high as the sky.

To put it bluntly, even if they rebel with these people, they will never refuse.

Although that kind of thing is not at all attractive to Hei Jiu.

——

Gui San's funds were finally sent three days later. Hei Jiu, who received the money, immediately settled a series of final payments such as the construction of the greenhouse city.

In the end, I had more than 20,000 gold coins left.

Instead, it doubled the deposit of 10,000 yuan at the beginning.

——

For a long time, the entire Yuecheng was spent in the noise of building construction.

One night, Heijiu visited the simple house where the city residents were located for inspection.

Seeing this, people stood up and saluted him, and everyone had welcome smiles on their faces.

Hei Jiusi looked at these simple houses, and saw that the deputy city lord Al, who was following him, couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Because these temporarily settled houses were arranged by Al, naturally, he was of course afraid of the feeling of being checked by the teacher.

Fortunately, Hei Jiu didn't say anything in the end.

Although these temporary houses are simple, they are fortunately able to shelter from wind and rain, and they are considered to meet the Black Nine standards.

Then, Heijiu went to the place where people made fires and cooked.

Because they are gathered together, what they are doing is the way to eat big pot rice.

The food for the big pot rice is not required to be paid by the city people, and the funds are deducted from the money left by Hei Jiu.

It is a kind of situation where you come to eat when you are used to eating, and when you are not used to eating, you go back to eat the rice you gave yourself.

At night, Heijiu, Al, and the eldest brother and the others sat around a bonfire.

Behind them were the people, and everyone surrounded them all.

Either sit on a stone or sit directly on the ground.

Like an audience member who comes to listen to the opera.

Or maybe they just like to watch these upper-level leaders chat.

“How long will it take to complete it all?”

Hei Jiu asked, Al replied in seconds:

"Sir, I guess there are still two months left."

"Have you been living in such a place for a long time, it will not be a good thing for everyone's physical condition."

Unexpectedly, before Al could speak, an old man behind him spoke:

"The city lord is very good. It's much better than the days when I was hungry and frozen before!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The others behind him echoed, like group crosstalk.

"Well, since you have endured it, I won't say anything anymore. I just hope everyone will stick to it.

After the house is repaired in two months, I will give your family a furniture fee of at least two gold coins.”

"Thank you, Lord of the City!!!"

The crowd immediately burst into fierce applause, and then Hei Jiuze said:

"But, I still have to say what I should say. I am a human race, a straightforward guy, and I am not a nobleman.

So if there are some things, it sounds rather unpleasant.

As the saying goes, to raise rice to raise grace, to raise grudges to raise grudges.

I am helping you like this now. If you form a dependence in the future, I feel that all this is what I should do and I owe you.

If I don’t help you the next day, if you hate me, then I don’t want to see it.”

A fisherman responded quickly after hearing this:

"Don't worry, the city lord, although we are poor, we are definitely not the kind of person who is stingy.

If someone really dares to have this mentality in the future, you don’t need to do it, we will first cut off that guy.

Everyone said, right?"

"Yes, right!!!"

Everyone agreed, and they all looked indignant.

"Okay, if you reason like this, then we can naturally get along well in the future.

Also, let's talk about it later.

My plan is to wait until the house is repaired and your furniture is paid, and then all the greenhouse fishery and aquaculture industry begins.

I guess everyone has a job that can support themselves.

Of course, some people start at a low level, adapt to work slowly, and have a difficult early stage.

Therefore, after the house is repaired, we will continue to release food for everyone on time every month in the next three months.

And after these three months, it is time for the official grain taxation.

After all, the money here is not blown by the strong wind. It is not a big deal for me to spend it like this for a long time.

I have seen how much tax revenue in other cities is, 50% or 40% or 40%. It is said that the city lord has embezzled a lot."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

“Of course, I personally hate corruption.

Therefore, it was decided to set the tax at 20%. What do you think?"

As the words finished, thunderous applause rang out.
Chapter completed!
