Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 629
Just when Ye Yan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a message came from Nan Li.

"City Lord, something happened in the city." The visitor reported nervously. Ye Yan heard this and got up quickly: "Let's go, let's go immediately."

A group of people hurried back to Nanli, and Ye Yan didn't dare to delay all the way. Nanli City has been calm these days. Listening to the description of the visitor, this time is not a trivial matter.

Close to Nanli City, far outside the city gate, you can see a mess on the city wall.

"What's the matter with this city wall?" Ye Yan asked his subordinates.

"Reporting to the city lord, this city wall collapsed on its own. When our people changed shifts, we discovered it as soon as we arrived." The subordinate replied seriously.

"Go, go and have a look." Ye Yan got up and approached the city, walked to the city wall, Ye Yan carefully observed around the city wall, there was no trace of man-made.

Could it be that the building materials are defective?Ye Yan was secretly puzzled in his heart.

After thinking about it, the people who built the city wall were all righteous people, and they definitely couldn't come from the wall itself.

Ye Yan suddenly asked: "Before the city wall collapsed, was there anything else strange in the city?"

After listening, the subordinate recalled it carefully: "If it is strange, when the wall collapsed, the ground shook, but the feeling of shaking seemed a little obvious."

As Ye Yan listened to his subordinates' words, a concept came to his mind. Could it be an earthquake?

"I see, you lead the people to clean up this place quickly, and order to go down and repair the city wall." Ye Yan arranged decisively.

The city wall was damaged, and no one dared to act rashly without Ye Yan's instructions. Ye Yan seemed to remember something, and turned back to take a look again.

There were some cracks on the ground below the collapsed wall. At first, Ye Yan thought it was caused by the damaged ditch.

Taking a closer look now, it seems that the crack was not caused by the collapse of the city wall. After some research, Ye Yan had a guess that Nan Li had a crack in the ground.

With this conjecture, Ye Yan recalled the topography of Nanli in recent years, which is also the location where the ground crack may occur.

"City Master, what are you looking for?" Seeing Ye Yan, the subordinate seemed to be in a hurry to find something.

"No problem." Ye Yan raised his big hand and left the man behind.

After patrolling around the city wall, Ye Yan found a big opening not far away. Ye Yan walked around a few steps and found that the opening was actually somewhat ornamental.

Although it is a gap in the ground, it does not seem to have a strong impact effect.

"Come on." Ye Yan called out.

"City Lord, but this place is going to be filled." The person behind stepped forward and replied.

Ye Yan waved his hand: "No, fence this place first, don't let anyone get close, I'm free to plan."

Although the people behind him didn't understand what Ye Yan was talking about, they followed suit and were about to leave when they heard people making noise not far away.

"Don't stop me, my baby fell inside!" A woman not far away shouted.

Hearing the sound, Ye Yan turned his head, thinking in his heart, not knowing what it was for, and walked towards the woman.

"Eldest sister, why are you making such a fuss here?" Seeing her anxious, Ye Yan spoke very gently.

The woman didn't know Ye Yan, and her attitude was very bad: "You servants, you know how to bully me, an ordinary person. My precious antiques fell to the front along this road, so I must not let me go in and look for them!"

Ye Yan looked in the direction of the woman's finger. Isn't that the crack in the ground? It's so deep, the danger is too close, what should I do if I accidentally fall?
"It's dangerous over there. No matter what you lose, don't come near it." Ye Yan's tone was as gentle as usual, and he even subconsciously pulled her over.

"That is the lifeblood of our family. I just took it back from my mother's house these days. I have to find it!" The woman began to tear the guard apart, without any intention of trusting her. I'm a little disgusted.

"You are so bold, you dare to use rough hands!" The person next to Ye Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and accused him aloud.

Ye Yan's eyes indicated that he was talking too much, and at the same time, he gestured to the two guards who were blocking the woman to let her go.

The woman had no obstacles for a while, but she didn't dare to act rashly. No matter how good-tempered Ye Yan was, she was still the city lord. This was an unchanging fact.

"I am the Lord of Nanli City. The situation there is unknown, so I can't approach it at will. As for your big antiques, you let him go, and he will compensate you." Ye Yan pointed to the entourage beside him.

The entourage at the side was somewhat displeased, this woman was clearly a mess, she said she would throw away the antiques, she dared to be so presumptuous in front of the city lord.

"Why are you standing there stunned?" Ye Yan reminded the people around him. This kind of momentum made the arrogant person very frightened, and Ye Yan was also elated. Sure enough, if he was stricter, he would be intimidated.

"Yes, City Lord." No matter how unwilling he was, the follower could only obey.

The woman took it as soon as she saw it was good, and she could get back the lost loss, so why not do it, she happily followed, and when she returned home, Changqing came to meet her.

"Ye Yan, you know everything, right?" Chang Qing asked, afraid that he would be slow to understand.

"That's right, I went to see it just now, it's a crack in the ground." Ye Yan took a sip of tea and said.

Hearing this, Changqing said to himself, "The ground is cracked. Nanli is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In this season, the soil is somewhat loose, which is normal."

Ye Yan nodded in agreement: "That's right, but it's not enough just for us to know. This matter can be spread differently among the people."

Changqing understood Ye Yan's words that the land is the foundation of the people. The collapse of the city wall and the cracks in the ground are unlucky no matter how you look at it. The most fundamental problem is to find a way to dispel such rumors.

"Then what can you do?" Changqing sat opposite Ye Yan and asked, Ye Yan folded his hands on the stone table, his eyes were full of consideration.

After a while, Ye Yan said slowly: "There are many people living near this gap, and the gap is really not small, so the nearby people have to be moved away first."

Chang Qing nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, let me take care of it." Ye Yan nodded and said.

Changqing drew up an announcement and posted it at the head of the common people's village. Everyone was also afraid of the crack, for fear that one day they would fall into it if they didn't pay attention, so there was no trouble, so they were at a loss and wished they were eight feet away.

The area around that place was emptied out, and the people had also resettled into new residences. Ye Yan wanted to prevent the people from making wild guesses about the hole, which made people panic.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Ye Yan's mind. This hole is not only scary, but a little tricky can be said to be spectacular.

Ye Yan quickly drew up a renovation plan, and started to send people to fill in some stone sculptures near the opening, which perfectly matched the opening and made the place look more comfortable.

In an instant, Nanli had one more place worth admiring. For a while, the people changed their views one after another, and gathered together to see this landscape.

Not only that, but the spectacular scene of Nanli City also attracted many foreign tourists. The visitors came from all directions, which drove the business of the surrounding villages.

Many common people showed their strengths by the way, and they felt very excited when they thought about it. At this time, many people set up stalls outside.

All this was expected by Ye Yan. What Ye Yan didn't expect was that with more people visiting, trouble would naturally follow.

There were malicious incidents in the viewing area again and again, but fortunately the guards suppressed them in time, and there were no casualties.

Fearing that spies from the enemy country would take the opportunity to sneak in, Ye Yan decided to reset the rules of the viewing area. At the same time, Ye Yan also had to strictly check the people entering the city to control the number of people.
