Fast Travel: The Patient Villain Is a Love Brain

It's just that she didn't make it, the old fox the emperor deliberately made things difficult for her.

...

"Come on, don't worry, everyone has a share!"

"This is yours, go slowly, don't spill it."

Under the tent under the scorching sun, a big pot was set up, and there was a long queue in front of the pot.

"This is yours!" Li Yan handed the bowl to the little girl, who smiled sweetly, "Thank you sister!"

Hearing this, the little girl's grandmother immediately covered her mouth and knelt down in panic: "Your Highness forgives you!"

"It's okay, she praised me for being pretty, I'm very happy, and rewarded with an extra steamed stuffed bun!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

The successive days of distributing food and porridge made Li Yan's image in the hearts of the people taller, and many people praised Li Yan for his good temper.

After the porridge was served, Li Yan moved his sore shoulders, and A Lang in the distance rushed towards Li Yan.

"Are you back?" There was no news of Ah Lang's departure for the past few days, and Li Yan thought he was lost.

"I... my godfather wants to see you!"

Following Ah Lang's line of sight, Li Yan looked behind him, an old man dressed in rags but looking immortal came towards them.

"Grassman pays homage to Your Highness!"

The other party wanted to kneel and salute, but Li Yan immediately supported him: "No way, you are Ah Lang's godfather, that is, my elder, I can't bear this salute!"

Hearing this, the old man looked at Li Yan with a look of relief: "Your Highness is really kind to treat a slave as an equal!"

"Where is it."

"I heard that you persuaded His Majesty to abolish slavery?"

"I just told the truth. The main reason is that the emperor has long felt that the slave system has drawbacks, but there has never been a suitable opportunity to abolish it."

The old man knew in his heart that Li Yan didn't want to use this to claim credit, so he pushed the credit to the emperor, which shows that he has a very good character.

"By the way, I heard from Ah Lang that you want to see me, why?"

As soon as the slavery system was abolished, the other party came in a hurry, presumably to ask for something.

"This..." The old man hesitated for a moment, Li Yan said bluntly, "You say so, Ah Lang is my friend, I will help if I can."

"Then I'll just say it straight, our hermits have lived in the Western Sea Region for generations, but now our territory has been invaded, even if those people are expelled, we can no longer settle down, so this old man has the cheek to ask His Highness to help us find a habitat."

To be honest, Mu Chengguo didn't have a place suitable for a large number of people to live in seclusion. The western sea area gave the hermits a chance to live in seclusion entirely because of the harsh environment and no one going there.

Now let her find a place where she can live, it would be really embarrassing for her.

"I don't have a clue about this matter for the time being, but I promise you, I will find a way to settle you, but before that, I have to solve the Dongliao matter first."

"With His Highness's words, the old man is relieved."

After sending the patriarch away, Li Yan sat at the base of the wall leaning against A Lang, and had no strength left to move.

But she wanted to rest, but the emperor didn't give her a chance to rest.

An urgent letter entered Dongliao City, and the courier delivered the letter to Li Yan.

Open the letter, which contains the emperor's instructions.

It roughly means: the emperor allocated 100 million taels of gold to Li Yan, and asked Li Yan to complete the construction of the road to Dongliao City within three years.

This is equivalent to giving Li Yan 1000 million and then asking her to use the 1000 million to build a [-]-meter building. Isn't this a joke?

Not to mention that buying materials will cost more than half of the funds, and 100 million gold in manpower alone is not enough.

After all, to recruit workers, you have to pay wages and take care of food and drink. These are all expenses. The emperor is too stingy, right?

Noticing that Li Yan's face had collapsed, A Lang asked, "What...what's wrong?"

His eyes shifted to the letter, but he couldn't understand a single word.

"It's okay, go back first."

Back at the city lord's mansion, Li Yan didn't even bother to take a shower, and asked the city lord for Zhang Mu Chengguo's map to start researching.

Mu Chengguo is a circle, and to the west of this circle, that is, the western sea area, two trunks are divided to enclose Mu Chengguo.

After that, a trunk branched from west to east in the western sea area and crossed Mu Chengguo, but this trunk broke at a distance of [-] miles from Dongliao.

And three thousand miles east of Dongliao City, there is also a big river, so no matter where the construction starts, it is a huge project.

But the most important thing now is to build roads. Without roads, even if the oil is extracted, it will be very difficult to transport. If roads are built, dams are built, and oil is extracted, even [-] million taels of gold will not be enough.

After much deliberation, Li Yan only felt that one path was feasible.

That is to integrate the dam with the road, and directly build a waterway that is enough for large ships to pass through, so that it can not only transport, but also transport water to supply the daily use of Dongliao City.

After the oil exploration project in Dongliao City started to make a profit, the emperor felt that the waterway transportation was too slow, so he would take the initiative to build roads.

Thinking of a way, Li Yan immediately started to draw the construction blueprint of the embankment.

In the middle of the night, Li Yan held up the blueprint and nodded in satisfaction.

However, at this moment, Mao Qiu came out and poured a bucket of cold water: "Host, can you recruit someone with this money? Can you buy materials?"

"Kill me!"

I really can't continue this job, I resigned, it's a mess!

Ah Lang, who came in with dinner, saw Li Yanping lying on the ground with a question mark above his head: "What...what's wrong?"

Li Yan twisted her stiff eyeballs, and said with a mournful face, "Ah Lang, it's so hard~~~"

The voice formed a wavy line and floated into A Lang's ears. He was a little confused: "What is bitter?"

Sitting up, Li Yan waved to Ah Lang, who sat on the ground.

"Father asked me to build a road. I temporarily decided to build a waterway. However, the geographical environment of Dongliao is complicated. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to build this waterway. Now money can be obtained, but people are very difficult."

After all, the emperor gave too little money. If you want to complete the construction within a certain period of time, you will need a lot of people. If there are more people, everyone's wages will be reduced. This kind of thankless work must be done by no one.

A Lang didn't understand it well, but it took a lot of people to understand Li Yan.

"Yes, got it!"

"What do you understand?"

"Man, there is...someone!"

"You mean, you can get someone to come?"

"Well, the clan... There are many people in the clan, and there are also people in the alliance!"

"That's right, the members of the Slave Alliance should be disbanded by now. They have no jobs, so even if the road construction costs are low, they should come."

"Alang is so smart, can Alang intercede with the leader for me?"

"Yeah!" Ah Lang nodded heavily, and then ran out without looking back.

-

Everything was difficult at the beginning, the next day Li Yan set up a table at the gate of the city, and hung a "recruiting" plaque.

However, after two hours, there were quite a few people who asked questions, but when they heard that the daily salary was only five Wen, they all shook their heads and left.

Just when Li Yan was falling asleep, a group of people rushed towards Li Yan.

"earthquake?"

Li Yan, who woke up, looked at the crowd, and Ah Lang rushed back to announce the good news: "People... people brought here."
