I am doing construction in the cultivation world

Chapter 31 Work hard to build a city, and return to the pre-liberation overnight
On the second day of foundation building, Tang Xiao got up early and left the study feeling refreshed. She hummed a little tune all the way to the door of Burning Melon Peel. According to Zeng Xiaohua’s report last night, she discovered something that made her She's shocked and jealous of the fact that this guy can be on and off the line!
Although Zeng Xiaohua didn't understand what online and offline meant, how could she not? Thinking that this world of cultivation might really be just a game, Tang Xiao felt extremely melancholy, but the reality of this world and her own personal experience Feelings cannot be faked, so she felt relieved after thinking about it. Once it came, she would be at peace with it.

Since someone can connect to the world she originally lived in, let's take advantage of it.

Although you can't directly let the burning melon skin knock on your own door to see if you are still there, but it is still possible to get some useful skills from there.

Liu Wei didn't wait for his second uncle to feed him after work. On the way back, he ate something casually, went back to the apartment and locked the door, went to the toilet to wash up, and got into the game room before dark.

Although he couldn't understand the characters used in this world, the exercise book the NPC gave him was indeed in simplified Chinese, and it was written in simple and easy-to-understand terms, with pictures and text.

In the past two days, apart from designing the public bathroom, he just went to the unattended medicine garden to look for medicinal materials. Fortunately, there are almost all the medicinal materials needed for body exercises in the atlas.

He asked Zeng Xiaohua if the herbs in this medicine garden could be taken. Xiaohua said that the young master didn't like this medicine garden, and she didn't think of how to deal with it for the time being, and she probably didn't care about the things inside.

After checking with Tang Xiao, he picked a few portions and brought them back without being polite. He borrowed the kitchen pots and cooked them several times. He failed several times. If the monk NPC hadn't given him some advice after seeing it yesterday, Only then did he realize that he had used the wrong two medicines. He looked for the medicines in the pictures. The two medicines were very similar to the ones in the pictures, but they were not the same kind. Their properties were completely different, and naturally they could not produce the smell and taste described in the technique. traits.

Liu Wei, who was online, noticed that it was only dimly lit outside. He planned to go to the medicine garden to search around the medicine garden before it was time to go to the public restroom. When he opened the door, he saw Tang Xiao who raised his hand to knock on the door.

Both of them were a little surprised, Tang Xiao said with a warm smile:

"Go...get up very early."

"It's okay, young master, you were earlier."

"Well, I'm too lazy to say small talk."

"That sentence doesn't count?"

Tang Xiao: ...

After coughing, Tang Xiao remained solemn and said:
"You have completed all the previous tasks well. Now you only have to supervise the construction of public toilets and bathrooms. You should be busy, right?"

When Liu Wei heard this, he thought he had a mission? !It seems that the awesome sentence yesterday actually worked!He nodded hurriedly:

"Not busy, not busy."

Tang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"After the bathroom in the villa is built, we will need toiletries. What do you think of the soap?"

Liu Wei blinked in confusion. A follow-up mission was triggered before the construction was completed?Thinking it had triggered a new branch, he nodded mechanically.

"It's good, and I think the shower gel is also good."

Ignoring the second half of his sentence, Tang Xiao continued:
"Very well, I'll leave the job of making soap to you, and I'll give you part of the rewards from the previous mission in advance. Well, let's just use the medicinal materials for the body training stage, and the pills for the gas condensation stage will be settled when you complete the mission." for you.

By the way, after making the soap, you must submit the finished product, production steps and formula to me. If you need the materials, go directly to Butler Li. After completing the task, you will get a space storage tool and a storage bag. "

Liu Wei blinked when he heard this, "Storage bag, this game doesn't even have a backpack or inventory. It seems that this storage bag is a backpack. I didn't expect that you have to complete a mission to get a backpack. Fortunately, it's not a troublesome thing." Although he doesn't know how to do it, he can search offline.

Tang Xiao took out several wooden boxes containing medicinal materials and handed them to him, stepped on his feet before walking and patted his shoulder, and said encouragingly:

"I'm optimistic about you. Complete this mission as soon as possible. We still have a lot to do."

Liu Wei: That means there are still many follow-up tasks!

He nodded seriously.

……

Tang Xiao flew towards the city on the flying carpet, chanting words.

"To get rich, build roads first. The city is surrounded by mountains. It's very close to the Gu clan, but the roads are not easy to walk. Xu Can said in the northwest that it's next to Qingsang country. I heard that there is a prosperous business there, but it's separated from us by mountains and cliffs. The place takes a long way to get there.

Ugh!
The city is probably the most deserted border town, it is not uncommon to be surrounded by mountains.

I don't know if there are mines nearby. "

She muttered and already arrived in the city.

Xu Can's efficiency is still very fast. Although the building materials purchased from other places are still on the way, the temporary housing in the north of the city has already been built, and they have been placed one by one according to the construction of the city lord's mansion and the small courtyard rooms. The first batch of residents in the west of the city have already been relocated.

……

At this moment, Wang Fukang, who is in prison, still doesn't know how many generations his family has been in business. The large house that occupies a full sixth of the city has been turned into cubicles.

Although he was imprisoned and interrogated, Lu Chengwen never made a verdict. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the rough rice porridge in the cell. Wang Fukang smiled contemptuously while looking out the iron window.

The Wang family has been self-governing this city for so many years, and the old man who is the county magistrate wants to take off the title of city lord with just a little girl?
The ancestors of the Wang family had documents in the Shengjing yamen. Once the Wang family is gone, the self-control of the city will be withdrawn. At that time, even if this obviously neglected old man Lu can continue to be the magistrate of the city and county, the benefits will not fall on him. The original allowance is gone, and the imperial court still needs to levy taxes, levies, and official land. In order to ask for more allowances, their family exaggerated the city’s population to 10,000+ decades ago. In fact, the city now includes surrounding villages , only about [-] people.

Lu Chengwen, who had always been treated as a mascot, had never known these things before.

At that time, whether it is household tax or poll tax, Lu Chengwen will have to worry about it. If there are not so many people, why didn't you report it before?Now that you have to pay taxes, you know there are not so many people?
So he, Wang Fukang, cannot die, and his Wang family must continue to be the home of the city.

……

Lu Chengwen was actually not worried about this matter. Although he had offended the emperor and was thrown into a corner, and there were many people in the court and government to impeach him, his secret relationship was still there, so it was still possible to handle such a small matter for him. , now we are just waiting for a reply. When the letter arrives, Wang Fukang, the city lord who cares about human life, can be on his way.

In the past, Yuyang Sanxian was a casual cultivator, and he did not establish diplomatic relations with the cultivating forces of Tianlang Kingdom. He wanted to worship in a corner, and wanted the dog of the Wang family, so Lu Chengwen had no choice but to live in the city for the elderly.

Now that the fairy on his head has changed, the little girl thought of the renovation plan before he did, and is willing to let him do it, so he might as well do what he can in the city.

Hearing the news of Tang Xiao's departure, Lu Chengwen originally wanted to go to Wawawa Mountain in person, but Tang Xiao came to find him first. Lu Chengwen felt that he seemed to be one step behind the little girl every time, and couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Sitting with Lu Chengwen in the county government office, Tang Xiao asked him about the possibility of digging roads and the main goods for trade.

Manpower to dig mountains is time-consuming and laborious. The city does not have the financial and manpower to dig. It is possible to dig, but you don’t know when it will be done. Most of the merchants in the city sell foreign spices and cloth, and basically nothing can be exported from the city. The merchants also collected some bamboo and mountain products.

In other words, there are no special products in the city worthy of the merchants' fancy, and no big business can be done.

"Food production in the countryside is very dependent on the weather. There is only a small Yellow River flowing through the north of the city. Watering is inconvenient in most villages. Wells have been dug in some places, but if it doesn't rain for a long time, the villagers have to use water to eat and drink, and the wells are also If you know how to use dry ones, it’s not impossible to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to carry water for watering, but the mountain roads in the countryside around the city are not that easy to walk, it’s too difficult.”

Lu Chengwen sighed as he spoke.

Tang smiled and nodded:

"What's the water volume of that Yellow River?"

"It's quite abundant."

"That means digging canals into the countryside."

"It's not easy to dig. There are too many mountains and it's too winding."

"Isn't there enough money?"

Lu Chengwen was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"The money is definitely not enough, the west of the city is still being rebuilt."

"I'll think of a way about the money, and I'll get someone to send you some later..."

When Tang Xiao said this, he was interrupted by Lu Chengwen raising his hand. Lu Chengwen looked at the little girl seriously, and asked seriously:
"Little fairy, what is your original intention? In other words, what do you want to get from the city?"

Seeing that Tang Xiao was stunned by his question, he continued:

"Most of the cultivators I know don't care about the world, let alone waste time on the construction planning of a city or a pond. They are aloof and just focus on cultivating themselves and grabbing the resources they need from the mortal world. Only when necessary, Give some help to the city where you are enshrined.

Little fairy, you don't want to offer gold and silver, what do you want from the city? "

Tang Xiao touched Xiaoqiao's chin. She couldn't say it was a system task. She squinted her eyes and said with a smile:
"Well... what I want should be the whole city."

Lu Chengwen opened his eyes wide. Although Tang Xiao was laughing, he didn't think it was a joke, so he asked suspiciously:

"and then?"

Tang smiled and blinked:
"Then? Let's start construction."

Seeing that she refused to say anything, Lu Chengwen had to ask in another way:
"Will the little fairy be the second Yuyang Sanxian?"

"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a cultivator of immortality, well, a civilized person."

Tang Xiao's answer made Lu Chengwen feel a little relieved. Although he didn't know what the purpose of the little fairy was, at least she was not a fairy who ignored human life, and she had just saved a bunch of innocent children not long ago.

It's better than letting the Xixia Sect closest to here take over...

Tang Xiao stayed in the city until the evening, and after meeting Yishan who had done good deeds, they returned to Xiaoxiao Villa together.

At this moment, Li Wenchang, who had been busy all day, was teaching the children in Qingyuan, and the "player" she originally summoned to be the teacher was already soaking up medicine in his room.

She was quite depressed about this. She originally wanted to get a teacher for free, but in the end, this guy couldn't understand the words here. How could an illiterate teach?

When she traveled through time, she could easily understand the text, and she thought there must be nothing wrong with this guy.

Yishan, who was watching the children reading outside the window with her, suddenly asked suddenly:
"What do you plan to do when you take over this place?"

"Eh? Why do you ask this question?"

"Someone asked? How did you answer?"

"Construction."

Yishan raised an eyebrow:
"How?"

Tang Xiao rubbed his face:

"Let's start a business and make some money first."

Yishan thought for a while and said:
"Little Tang Xiao, do you know that in the Tianlang Kingdom Zongmen and Sanxiu occupying the city to worship, they must be registered in the register."

Tang Xiao looked up at him in surprise, and he continued:
"For example, Shengjing Temple shelters the capital of the country, so it enjoys the richest offerings and incense in the entire Tianlang. The national teacher was born in Shengjing Temple, and the national teacher is in charge of the Shengjing Xianlu Yamen, which records the entire Tianlang Kingdom. The gate and its offering city, as well as the casual cultivators who own the offering city, are also registered.

These sects and casual cultivators have to recruit disciples from their own protective cities to pass on their Taoism. If they want to move to other people's territory, they must obtain their consent. Of course, Shengjing Temple is an exception.

There is another exception, Wanbao Peak. Although Wanbao Peak occupies the top of the mountain in Tianlang Kingdom, it is a training institution affiliated with Wanbao Tower. Wanbao Tower belongs to a sect of monks doing business in various countries. It does not accept offerings or protect mortals.

If you want to occupy this city, you have to pay attention to whether the nearest Xixia sect has any ideas about this place. The previous Yuyang Sanxian heard that it was involved with the Gu clan. The small place is at odds with the Gu clan, and now it's you who only have foundation-building cultivation. How can you compete with others for this piece of land? "

Tang Xiao was stunned. There was such a thing, so he asked:

"Will it be annexed by other sects after registration? Has Yuyang Sanxian registered?"

Yishan shook his head:
"As far as I know, the southwest area is all registered in the Xixia sect."

Tang Xiao's eyes widened:
"Then...then my future master..."

Yishan waved his hand and said:
"Don't think about it. His old man's Yufeng Mountain is located on the border of the Demon Realm, far away from Tianlang Kingdom. The last time I looked for him was just his clone who traveled in Tianlang Kingdom."

"Demon Realm?!"

Tang Xiao swallowed, and then remembered Wang Yuze's Tongxuan Sect. He heard that it was a very large sect, so he asked:
"What is Tongxuanmen?"

"That's the Emperor of the Zhao Kingdom, which has the same status as our Shengjing Temple in the Tianlang Kingdom."

Tang Xiao: ...

I heard that Tongxuanmen is still offering a reward for Wang Yuze's capture...Did I contain a bomb?
Tang Xiao rubbed her brows and realized with a headache that she really needed to catch up on the world's information. Otherwise, she would have to work hard to build a city. When the sect came, she would have to return overnight. Before liberation.
