Text: Chapter 140: The Great Plan
Coming out of the ground, Duoduo gave Ding Yi a worry-free gesture. Not long after, Yuan Zhen followed Duoduo and came out.
"All the tunnels that were dug before have collapsed. Yuan Zhen truthfully told Ding Yi about the underground situation. Ding Yi let out a breath of turbidity, the basement that he dug earlier as a UFO was not affected, but the escape passage that had not yet been built was buried by earth and rocks, and the people's efforts for several months were in vain.
The UFO was not greatly damaged, Ding Yi was already satisfied, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "This is expected, if it collapses, we will dig it again." ”
Looking at Yuan Zhen for a long time, Ding Yi still truthfully told Yuan Zhen about the organization's plan to exterminate humanity.
Although Yuan Zhen still believed Ding Yi's judgment, Ding Yi only relied on some inferences to conclude that this inhumane disaster was the work of the Truth Society, and there was still a lack of some direct evidence. Yuan Zhen was still skeptical.
"Ah Zhen, I know you can't accept this fact yet, but I hope that you will have the same skeptical heart as you do now, instead of believing in the simple idea that those who oppose the Imperial Cultivators are good people, and vice versa. You must know that the people in the organization are also cultivators, so why should they care about the lives of these ordinary people. You said that the cultivators of the empire are all bad people, and along the way, you have also seen that there are still many imperial cultivators who are saving lives and helping civilians as much as possible, so my friend, I hope you can look at the people and things in front of you with a prudent heart. ”
Yuan Zhen didn't answer Ding Yi's question, and he was actually a little dazed now.
Most of the city has been buried, and it will take at least ten days to restore the original state, this is the country of cultivators, and it doesn't take much time to build houses and repair roads, in fact, most of the time is spent on the relayout planning of the city, and there are some municipal construction considerations, which also involves the distribution and exchange of interests between the city government and several major families in Jiyun City.
Since it was New Year's Day, the municipal work in other cities was also suspended, and the relevant relief materials had to be delayed to arrive, but the Qingyun faction was nearby, and it was not a problem to mobilize the food needed by the victims, but there was a temporary shortage of winter clothes and some raw materials for rebuilding the city.
Rose soon returned to new ground.
Looking at the rose who came back empty-handed, Ding Yi just wanted to reprimand her a few words, but was stopped by the rose. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a huge vulture to fly to a clearing next to Xintiandi. Arranged for people to unload a large amount of food and clothing from the vulture, which finally gave Ding Yi a little confidence to face the current predicament.
Ding Yi was still sighing at the huge and powerful of this giant bird of prey, and several iron eagles no less than the size of the previous vulture had arrived in Xintiandi, and various raw materials for making unicorn puppets had also arrived.
Ding Yi knew that this was Zong Xiao showing his attitude to him, and Ding Yi had to start re-examining the new construction plan.
Two of the puppet workshops in Jiyun City were completely destroyed, and Xu Ji did not suffer any damage because it was relatively close to the city center. However, the destruction of the road will still make the crafting time of the unicorn puppet be extended. However, at this time, there were a large number of civilians who had lost their livelihoods, which gave Ding Yi a new idea.
Xishan Mujia Villa, this is Ding Yi's first time here, accompanied by his bodyguard and secretary Rose. Sitting on top of the speed vulture and flying, although Ding Yi put on several cotton clothes, it was still cold enough.
The snow-covered West Mountain is beautiful, and Ding Yi has appreciated the beauty of the ice and snow world for the first time. Ding Yi couldn't understand why those cultivators had so many things to do, and the rain and snow scenery in the natural world was so beautiful, why did they want Jiyun City to stay away from these natural scenery all the time? But now is not the time to think about these things.
In the study room of Xishan Villa, Zong Xiao and Mu Haoran received Ding Yi.
"Xiao Yi, at the beginning of this new year, I didn't expect that you were the first to congratulate me on the New Year. Zong Xiao looked very happy.
"Uncle Zong has always treated me like a nephew, and gave me the secret treasure of cultivating the truth, Xiao Yi has always been Minggan Wu, and he is fortunate to be able to get Uncle Zong's teachings, and Ding Yi is even more honored, but right now, Jiyun City has suddenly undergone drastic changes, and there are some ideas to discuss with Uncle Zong. Ding Yi pondered the language and said.
Zong Xiao said: "Xiaoyi, you don't have to be so restrained, just say something directly." ”
Ding Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "There was a sudden upheaval in the city this time, most of the houses collapsed, and more than half of the civilians lost their food rations and jobs. I would like to implore Uncle Zong to approach the city government and leave the work of dredging the rivers and clearing the roads to the civilians, so that they can have this mere chance. ”
Zong Xiao did not answer. Ding Yi continued: "In the area of Moon Street, this time the damage is particularly serious, and I would like to ask Uncle Zong to help Xintiandi take the land between the Tian'an warehouse and the Baishui Wharf. ”
A smile appeared on Zong Xiao's face.
"Xiao Yi, didn't you oppose the expansion of Xintiandi before?" Mu Haoran interjected.
"Uncle Zong, Brother Mu, at this time and that time, when Xintiandi was founded, it had already taken the lead, grabbed the largest share of the market, and further compressed the space of peers. Although Xintiandi is not afraid of them with the backing of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, even if they only release some rumors that are unfavorable to Xintiandi, it will have a lot of adverse effects on the future development of Xintiandi, so I chose to cooperate with them at that time.
But now, this catastrophe has occurred in the city, and the time is ripe for Xintiandi to rise again, and Xintiandi is building on a large scale, which can not only solve the problem of food and clothing for the livelihood of ordinary people in the city, help the city government establish a good image, but also establish a good brand effect of Xintiandi, which is actually a win-win situation. ”
Ding Yi gestured to the rose behind him, and the rose took out a map of Jiyun City Mansion from behind him, and Ding Yi gave a detailed explanation of Zongxiao on the geographical location near Moon Street, the traffic environment, and the distance and proximity ratio with several cooperative workshops.
"With such a large piece of land, does Xintiandi have so much money?" said Zong Xiao with a smile.
Of course, Ding Yi understood what Zong Xiao meant, but he still categorically rejected the proposal of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to buy shares. He took out the previous question that Zong Xiaokao asked Mu Haoran and Ding Yi, he wanted to seek the autonomy of Xintiandi, and he wanted Xintiandi's 'great freedom'!
In the end, Zong Xiao really agreed in Mu Haoran's surprised eyes.
"Grandmaster, why didn't you insist on including Xintiandi in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, if you insisted, I believe Ding Yi would not be able to refuse. After Ding Yi left, Mu Haoran asked.
"Is it a new world that is included in the four seas, or a new world? Haoran, this is the difference between you and him. You concretize this world, you and I are the upper part of this world, and the following is more composed of those civilians, a cultivator can be worth more than 10,000 civilians, but in the vast number of cultivators, it is still inseparable from all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, yes, the current urbanization of the empire no longer needs so many farmers to farm, and in many ways the cultivators have completely replaced the role of civilians, but there are still many places in this world that need those civilians to do. At least the clothes, shoes and hats you wear are inseparable from the labor of civilians. ”
"In ancient times, Xiuzhen paid attention to the law of wealth, and this wealth was put in the first place, according to the current saying, it is a resource. If you let the cultivators plunder each other, you will return to the situation of ancient times, and you will be a fart if you seek liberation and pursue the Great Dao! So why there were so few high-level monks in ancient times, this is the main reason.
Every town is a golden hen that creates wealth for us, and this money eventually flows into our pockets and becomes our cultivation resources. Let this golden rooster who can lay more eggs and lay good eggs, not only the work of the city government, but also a certain responsibility as a cultivator in this city. ”
"Xiao Yi is a good child, he has a good view of the overall situation, of course I can take Xintiandi into my pocket, but is it really useful for us to be a workshop that only produces mining puppets? Do you understand now?"
Zong Xiao once again crumpled this matter and analyzed it to Mu Haoran.
Back in Xintiandi, Li Qi had already begun his work, this unscrupulous doctor, now he did not dare to take a big picture, and he was docile and arrogant before. Ding Yi observed him for a long time and found that this guy was quite honest, so he turned his attention to other things.
When Ding Yi told Ding Zhaoding and Xu Rongfa about his ambitious plan, he still thundered these two people.
The large piece of land on Moon Street alone could not be taken without 20,000 or 30,000 gold yuan, and other construction costs, as well as the addition of machinery and equipment, were an astronomical amount.
"Money, land matters will also be solved by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, this is an opportunity for the development of our new world, originally I was going to wait until the end of the transcendent sacrifice, and then flee to other cities with you, now it seems that this road will not work, not to mention that the special search team is a vast cultivator, even this upheaval in the city, the two adults should have seen it clearly, the special search team has laid a net of heaven and earth at all, and we can't go at all if we want to. ”
"Why haven't Hepingli in the south of the city and Xintiandi in the east of the city collapsed? These are all the methods of the cultivators, why they are different from us, they treat us very preferentially, but we are the only people, and the factories we have opened are still useful to them. So while we still have value, why not maximize that value?"
Ding Yi had to seriously sort things out with them.
"Our houses have not collapsed, and our workshops have not been destroyed, but outside our houses, how many civilians who lack food and clothing are shivering outside. I think it's a good thing that we can expand ourselves and help the homeless at the same time, and you two should agree with me and do something to help them. ”
Ding Zhaoding said: "Xiao Yi, I have no problem with you wanting to help these civilians, but is it necessary for us to build such a big site? What will we do after we build such a large site? We are just a workshop for the production of mining puppets, and there is no need to expand to this extent." ”
Xu Rongfa also said: "Xiao Yi, this is nearly 100,000 gold yuan, even if the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is willing to lend us at a low interest, how long will it take to pay it off?
Ding Yi sighed and said: "Those children who are waiting to be fed, the civilians who are hungry and cold, can we bear to see them outside in this cold weather, because of lack of food and clothing, miserable to endure this long and harsh winter? Many of them are my classmates, your old friends, we can help them now, why don't we help them?"
"I know that this stall is too big, and we ourselves are burdened with heavy debts, but if we can help them in this time, so that they will not be able to save them from the plight of hunger and cold, is this not the idea of the 'benevolent' that you have always taught me, father? Although I don't have a specific plan for what to do in the future, I need to discuss it with Master Duoduo again, but I already have a little idea in my heart now, and I am not completely unprepared, if my idea can be realized, none of the problems we are facing will be a problem. ”
