Fast Travel: The Patient Villain Is a Love Brain

Looking at Li Yan's smiling face, she felt that the person in front of her was very gentle.

Li Yan put the pastry in the little girl's hand, touched her head, and then stood up.

"I know that you all have a lot of grievances against the royal family, and I am here today to resolve this matter.

You can rest assured that I will share weal and woe with you in the future, turning this desert into an oasis, and closely linking Dongliao City with Mu Chengguo.

Maybe you think I'm talking big, or you don't believe me, but I will use my time to prove to you that Mu Chengguo will not give up any of his people, nor will he despise any life.

I hope everyone can give me a chance to perform! "

The aloof prince bowed ninety degrees to them at this moment, because no one had ever treated them so sincerely, and this sincerity was enough to move them.

"We are willing to trust the First Prince!"

"We believe in the First Prince!"

Hearing the applause from the crowd, Li Yan felt that this road was not too difficult.

If she can make an achievement here, then she can prove to the queen that even if she doesn't become the emperor, she can still make her own career and have the ability to ensure her safety.

...

"This way please!"

The city lord invited flatteringly, Li Yan glanced at the luxuriously furnished room, and squinted at the city lord.

"The City Lord's Mansion is well built, which craftsman did you use?"

The city lord didn't understand the underlying meaning, and couldn't wait to compliment him: "No matter how good a craftsman is, he can't compare to those in the palace. If you need it, I can recommend it to you."

"That's not necessary. It's just that my Highness saw that your mansion has been well repaired. It shouldn't be difficult to repair a few courtyards for the victims of disasters to live in temporarily, right?"

"Ah?" The city lord looked blank, "Your Highness, are you joking?"

Li Yan patted the castellan's shoulder and said earnestly: "City lord, you said that you eat well, dress well, and take care of yourself well, but the people outside are poor and even beg on the street. The emperor knows, if you misunderstand that you are corrupt, you say..."

Li Yan didn't say anything later, but the threat was obvious.

If the city lord wants to stay safe and stay in Dongliao, a wave of blood must be inevitable.

"The humble job understands, and the humble job is trying to find a way to settle the refugees outside."

"Okay, let's go down!"

Li Yan sat down at the table with a sad face, she boasted a lot just now, if the desert can't be turned into an oasis, wouldn't she want to slap her in the face?

Ah Lang stood beside him, seeing Li Yan's frowning expression, he was also deeply troubled.

He is a member of the slave alliance, Li Yan must be in danger here, but he can't take action against the members of the alliance, it's really a dilemma.

"A wolf, go out with me."

"it is good!"

A few li away from Dongliao City, there were no more green plants, the ground was dry, cracked and eroded by wind and sand, Li Yan took off his coat and wrapped it around his head.

Grab a handful of sand from the ground, revealing a bit of soil underneath.

"It seems that there is still salvation here."

The environment of Dongliao City is harsh, with a thick layer of sand on the surface and dry and cracked soil underneath. As long as there is soil, trees can be planted. Over time, this place can also be covered by green plants.

It's just that the survival rate of trees planted on this kind of land is not high, and it is not realistic to transport water for irrigation every day.

"Maoqiu, I remember when I entered the territory of Eastern Liao, it was a river, right?"

"Yes, the whole Mu Chengguo is surrounded by a big river. If you want to build a river embankment, it is the fastest way to divert water from the river in the east."

If the embankment is built, roads can be built along the way. As long as there are roads, it will definitely drive the development of this backward Eastern Liao city.

At that time, the people will also have work and food to eat.

But that river is a full three thousand miles away from the city of Dongliao. It is no easy task to build it, and with such a large sum of money, Li Yan is not sure that he can convince the emperor.

Unless... there are enough resources here to attract the emperor.

"Furball, can you detect what's underground?"

"Okay, five hundred!"

"purchase!"

Li Yan and Ah Lang rushed back, and the wind and sand blew in along the way, making every step difficult.

A Lang noticed Li Yan's pace, and quickly took two steps to catch up in front of her.

Sensing that the resistance has become much smaller, Li Yan saw a broad figure from his back as soon as he raised his head.

...

"Bah bah bah!"

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yan spat out the sand in his mouth, took off the clothes on his head, and a layer of sand fell on the ground.

"Alang, did you live here before?"

"Live... for two years."

"Alang, are you and Fusang the only ones left in your Yin clan?"

A Lang shook his head: "There are... many people are hiding."

The Yin people originally lived in the deep forest, but since the rise of the slave system, they have been caught and sold for people.

Some clansmen fled and died, and the rest were never heard from.

"The people of the Yin tribe really have the ability to prolong life as rumored by the outside world?"

Noticing the change in Ah Lang's expression, Li Yan hurriedly explained: "I don't intend to inquire about your secrets, I'm just curious."

"No! It's just... just the recovery ability, and no other abilities."

Perhaps because he was eager to explain, Ah Lang spoke a lot more smoothly.

Thinking of the rumors outside that the Yin people are the best cauldrons, Ah Lang felt very sad.

Because in order to live longer, those people took advantage of the wind and grass to search for the hidden people, and those people who were bought and sold also lived a miserable life.

Li Yan held Ah Lang's hand to comfort him: "I will protect you, and I will try my best to help you find your clansmen."

"Protect?"

"Yes, Alang is very important to me, I will protect you, and your people are your family, I will protect them too, trust me!"

"I believe it!" A Lang never doubted Li Yan's sincerity, because she really made people feel reliable.

"Host, there is a lot of oil under this desert."

"Where does Mu Chengguo use oil?"

"Mu Chengguo has no place to exploit oil, but the domestic demand is very high, and it is usually used for military purposes. They call it fierce oil. The annual purchase of fierce oil from neighboring countries accounts for half of the national treasury expenditure."

This news is like a miracle, since Mu Chengguo needs these things, then the emperor has no reason to refuse.

Thinking about it, Li Yan's face darkened again.

If you start to drill for oil, then there will be another problem along with it.

Mu Chengguo had always promoted the slavery system. If the oil mining started, the emperor would inevitably recruit slaves in order to save manpower and material resources, which would run counter to Li Yan's ideas.

So before that, she still had to ask the emperor to abolish slavery.

But how to make the emperor change his mind is also a huge problem!
