Human Online Survival [Infrastructure]

Although before this, Xia Pengyue had expected that millions of bricks and 10,000+ tons of cement might be needed to repair the walls of a big city, but he never thought that Cao Yang's high school classmate's girlfriend's high school classmate was As the director of the real estate company, after she took people to the site for a careful survey, the number directly increased by ten times, and it had to be completed within a month.

She said: "No way, there are too many damaged places. Many city walls that look fine to the naked eye have been scanned with an instrument, only to find that all the bricks and stones inside have turned into powder. No, the amount of work All of a sudden it's big."

"Sure enough, business is not easy these days!"

Xia Pengyue reached out and wiped his face.

"The key is that we now have more than 1000 people. Even if they all go to cement factories and brick factories to help, it is impossible to burn so many cement and red bricks within a month."

Because the people around them who can be pulled over have basically been pulled over, and the others are not good enough, they don't want to take them to eat meat at all, and it is even more unsafe to recruit people from outside, after all, they are now sitting on Baoshan , but no strength, once someone has a crooked mind, the consequences will be disastrous.

"This is how to do?"

Seeing Xia Pengyue's frowning expression, the middle-aged man hesitated and said, "Maybe we can go and buy a batch of slaves."

At this time, Chen Taining also rushed in, he was very excited: "Boss, we can definitely buy a batch of slaves and come back!"

"slave?"

Xia Pengyue suddenly raised his head.

Only then did he realize that this is an evil feudal society, and there are still such inhumane existences as slaves.

Chen Taining: "Most slaves have nothing and their lives are miserable, so we saved them by buying them back."

"As long as they work steadily for us for a period of time and don't sell us out, we will not only pay them wages, but when we become stronger in the future, we can also abolish their slave status and make them free citizens."

"So they're definitely going to say yes."

"Because this is a mutually beneficial and win-win transaction."

Hearing this, Xia Pengyue's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Then this is indeed a good idea."

Chen Taining smiled instantly: "That's right."

It is not in vain that he has read so many infrastructure novels in the past two days.

Then, as if thinking of something, Xia Pengyue raised his brows: "Okay, your kid has grown up too."

"I remember that you used to only want to be a salted fish that eats and drinks."

Chen Taining's legs trembled.

Even if he doesn't want to grow up, he can't do it.

If he hadn't made more contributions before Xia Pengyue found out what he had done, those knights of the church knight order a few days ago would be a lesson for him!

But of course he didn't dare to tell Xia Pengyue these words, so he could only smile a little: "I still want to be a salted fish waiting to die, but you are all so busy now, if I Standing on the sidelines, you can’t say anything.”

Hearing this, Xia Pengyue didn't say anything more: "All right."

Then he stood up directly: "I'm going to discuss this matter with Chi Shen."

Chen Taining breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Casta City, the City Lord's Mansion.

"There are more than 30 loopholes up to [-] meters long in the [-]-kilometer city wall, and these loopholes are all tightly hidden under the seemingly intact city wall."

"You say, is this because someone cut corners during the construction, or because someone tampered with those city walls later."

On the main seat, Shaster twirled the ring on his left index finger, his blue eyes were full of mockery.

Needless to say!

If someone cut corners during construction, how could this city wall survive the last orc invasion? It wouldn’t be because of the good luck of Casta City. It's hard to hit a loophole.

——Because of these loopholes, the orcs can definitely attack Casta City without any effort.

I just don't know whether these loopholes are prepared for orcs, or why?

——For example, the members of the Church of Killing God who just came to the Casta Mountains a few days ago.

And is the opponent targeting the entire Casta City, or is it simply targeting them?

But one thing is indisputable -

At the head of the round table, the consul looked solemn: "There are traitors in the city."

Once they cooperate inside and outside, things will be troublesome.

Shaster stopped playing with the ring, and only said: "In the near future, we must strengthen the security in the city."

"By the way," he said, his eyes dimmed: "Keep an eye on those people in the church—"

It couldn't be more obvious what he meant.

But the consul and others were not surprised at all.

Because if the black hand behind the scenes is targeting them, then in all likelihood, the black hand behind the scenes is the Holy See.

After all, the Holy See has always had the habit of cutting grass and roots, so even if they have become bereaved dogs now, the Holy See will not let them go.

And this kind of thing, the Holy See can indeed do it.

After all, how could such a group of high-ranking people who thought they were envoys of God care about the lives of a group of lowly civilians in Casta City?

But before that, they really didn't expect those guys to tamper with the city wall.

Thinking of this, the Consul paused: "Thanks to those earthlings in Tahe Village."

In fact, they didn't quite agree with Shaster's choice to cooperate with those earthlings at first.

Because those people on Earth are really too weak, even if they are talented, it doesn't matter if they have a large number, before they develop, anyone here can crush them to death with a raised hand.

What's more, those earthlings in Tahe Village are just stragglers, and they can't represent the ruling class that has mastered the power on earth.

However, Shaster had already made up his mind, and there was indeed no harm to them in cooperating with those earthlings, so they did not persuade them any further.

But I didn't expect that in just a few days, those people on Earth would help them so much.

——This time, if those earthlings hadn't discovered the loopholes in the city wall, once the black hands behind the scenes broke out in the future, they would be hard to guard against, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"correct."

The financial officer said: "At noon, the earthlings from Tahe Village wrote to say that because the project volume has suddenly increased several times, their current output can't keep up at all, so they hope that we can pay an extra amount of red bricks and The deposit of cement is given to them, so that they can buy a batch of slaves and go back to expand their manpower."

Shaster did not hesitate: "Give it to them."

Although their current finances are not generally tight.

Financial Officer: "Yes."

The next day, Xia Pengyue took Chi Xian to Casta City with great interest.

After all, this is the first time they have set foot in Casta City after they have been in this world for so long.

It is conceivable to see the 30-meter-high city wall of Casta City that cannot be seen at a glance, as well as the guards on the city wall in silver armor! ?How bright his eyes were when he was a soldier in a red cape.

"So handsome!"

Because seeing this scene, it is hard not to think of those towering and magnificent war scenes in movies and TV dramas.

After all, who hasn't pointed out the country and denounced Fang Qiu's lofty ambitions.

But not long after, the expression on his face froze.

Because behind the city gate, instead of the neat and orderly houses and clean and tidy streets that often appear in movies and TV dramas, there are dilapidated wooden houses, and most of the wooden houses are covered with thatch, let alone the streets. - Xia Pengyue hastily covered his mouth and nose, for fear that the galloping carriage would splash dung balls from the side of the road into his mouth.

Seeing this, Cao Yang and the others immediately covered their mouths and noses.

They really didn't expect that the interior of Casta City would look like this.

They want to take back their emotion just now.

"No way," the middle-aged man obviously saw the disgust of Xia Pengyue and others, and he smiled wryly: "Who would let the orcs invade Casta City every year?"

Otherwise, how did there have been so many injuries in Tahe Village before.

"Too."

Xia Pengyue and the others slowly put down their hands, looking at the scene in front of them, their hearts suddenly felt a little blocked.

Who would want to live in a house like this if it wasn't for having no choice, and having no choice.

So they have a long way to go!

Xia Pengyue and others couldn't help thinking.

It didn't take long for their faces to change again.

Because around the corner, neat and orderly houses and clean and tidy streets suddenly appeared again,

Xia Pengyue thought that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

He looked back subconsciously, the street behind him was still the same as before, and the people behind him were still in ragged or even naked clothes.

He turned his head again, and what he saw were still neat and orderly houses and clean and tidy streets, and there were endless colorful cloths floating in the sky above the streets.

Xia Pengyue and the others looked at the colored cloths: "This is?"

Middle-aged man: "This is Church Street."

"See the eight-story building in front of me? That's the Church of Casta City. Most of the people living on this street are the adults of the church, and some nobles."

"As for these colored cloths, isn't His Majesty's [-]th birthday coming soon? The Casta Church is going to hold a city-wide celebration. These are prepared for the celebration, and most of them are spontaneously organized by the people in the city. donated..."

Having said that, the middle-aged man's voice slowly lowered.

He turned his head to look at the naked child behind him, and at the colorful cloth fluttering above his head, suddenly felt something strange.

Hearing this, Xia Pengyue and the others immediately laughed angrily: "What is the smell of rich wine and meat? There are frozen bones on the road, that's it."

"No, those rich and nobles in ancient times just exploited the common people at most. The Holy See here is even more powerful. It even took the initiative to let the common people wash their necks and send them to their chopping boards."

"If this is on Earth, it's all right!"

"There is also the pope, who is still alive at the age of one hundred. What kind of birthday celebration is going to be held? Do you know what it means to be old and not die?"

However, although……

Eight hundred-year-old Chi Xian: "..."

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly covered Xia Pengyue's mouth with his hand.

"Hmm... hmm?"

Xia Pengyue struggled subconsciously.

Until he followed the gaze of the middle-aged man, at the corner, a potbellied old man and a young man were walking over.

Seeing them, the old man's expression also changed.

However, he didn't intend to stay, and he just shook his sleeves and led the young man away.

Xia Pengyue finally broke away from the middle-aged man: "Who is that?"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Pastor Reed and his son."

Cao Yang: "Fuck, what a bad luck!"

On the other side, the young man was also asking Pastor Reed, "Father, who are they?"

Pastor Reed had a dark face: "Those untouchables in Tahe Village."

The young man frowned instantly.

The matter in Tahe Village is not big or small, because the people in Tahe Village made a big fuss in front of their house, causing Pastor Reed's actions to spread throughout the entire Casta City in an instant, although the referee The final verdict was that the untouchables in Tahe Village found trouble and slandered the clergy, but the upper-class people in Casta City knew the truth of the matter.

But what really made them the laughing stock of the upper class was that they tried to crush those pariahs to death several times afterwards, but they all escaped.

This makes them seem extremely incompetent.

But those untouchables didn't know what kind of shit luck they had, and they climbed onto the high branch of the city lord.

As a result, they not only dare not act rashly, but also worry that they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

The most important thing is that, for some unknown reason, the church has especially hated the people in Tahe Village during this period.

In the past, the people of Tahe Village had been staying in Tahe Village, with Caesar's deputy head of the city guards, they had nothing to do with them, but now they have come out...

Thinking of this, a gleam of sharpness flashed in the young man's eyes.

"You said, if something happened to them in the city, even if someone suspected us, there should be no evidence!"

The most important thing is that they can also take the opportunity to please the Bishop and the others.

Pastor Reed immediately understood what he meant: "To be on the safe side, you should handle this matter yourself!"

The young man's eyes darkened: "Okay!"
