Chapter 1379: Li lingsu’s Shuraba (1) _2

Wen Cheng bi smiled, ”

the old ancestor said that with the impending chaos, the headquarters must be built on the mountain and occupy the terrain.

Qiao Weng from the Jian province’s Chamber of Commerce pinched the space between his brows and said with a bitter smile, ”

“Old forefather is not in charge and doesn’t know the value of food. Everyone, don’t ask for anything more, just tighten your belts and live your lives in the future.”

The group of fourth-grade sect Masters were frowning.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to pay, but the gangs in Jianghu definitely couldn’t collect taxes like the government. They had their own businesses.

Because of the natural and man-made disasters, the businesses operated by the sects were severely hit, and their business was not very good. However, the group of people who relied on the gangs for a living still had to be taken care of. In addition, they had to cooperate with the government to provide porridge and disaster relief.

The financial pressure was huge.

Now that he had to bear the cost of the headquarters ‘construction, it was easy to imagine how difficult his life would be.

At this time, if one’s moral bottom line was too high, it would instead become a burden.

If it was an ordinary sect in the pugilistic world, who would care about the life and death of ordinary people? that would be a matter for the government to worry about.

Wen Cheng bi saw everyone’s faces fall and his mouth raised, ”

“Everyone, don’t worry. The most difficult part of building the headquarters is manpower and money. We just need to solve these two problems, and it will be fine.”

Fu Jingmen slanted his eyes and laughed awkwardly.

“But we just can’t solve the problem of money. Why don’t you make it appear for me?”

Everyone looked at the Vice Alliance leader expressionlessly.

Wen Cheng bi did not panic and said, ”

“Each of our sects has to provide money and grain to cooperate with the government to provide porridge and disaster relief.

“Since that’s the case, we might as well gather the victims and let them build a headquarters for everyone. This will solve the manpower problem, and we don’t need to pay extra for the repair.

“This is called, um, work for relief.”

The meeting hall was silent for a moment. The sect Masters were stunned for a long time, and then the sound of discussion instantly began.

it seems like it’s possible. This way, we don’t need to fork out extra silver. In any case, we will definitely have to fork out money and food for the disaster relief.

“Yes, yes, yes. There are so many disaster victims, it would be a waste not to use them. You don’t even need to give extra silver, just enough to fill your stomach.”

“Work in place of relief … Is this the idea of our ancestor?”

The reason was actually very simple, and it made sense.

The reason they didn’t think of it wasn’t because they were stupid, but because their thinking was limited. In this era, if the Imperial court wanted to do basic construction, the people had the obligation to work for free.

This was called conscript.

In other words, there was no need to spend money on basic infrastructure. It was the responsibility that the people should bear.

Since they could pay for free, who would take the initiative to pay?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t think of the idea of work for relief, but that he didn’t need it at all.

As for why no one had thought of a similar method during the disaster, it was also due to the limitations of the era.

The reason was very simple. The Imperial court was not a construction fanatic. It would take decades for them to repair the city walls and roads.

Since there was no need for it, there was no such thing as work for relief.

However, this idea perfectly solved martial Union’s current predicament.

There was a sudden turn of events.

as expected of the old ancestor. You’ve lived for a long time and have wisdom. You’re smarter than us.

our ancestor is someone who has experienced chaotic times. He is a person with great wisdom.

Qiao Weng, yang cuixue, and the others were not stingy with their praises. Their faces were full of joy. A difficult problem that had given them a headache had been easily solved by their ancestor.

Wen Cheng bi was stunned and waved his hands, ”

“This wasn’t our ancestor’s idea …”

“You?” the crowd looked at him suspiciously.

Wen Cheng bi still shook his head, ”

“It wasn’t me,”

Xiao yuenu’s eyes immediately lit up.

As expected, he heard Wen Chengqian say, ”

“It was Xu yinluo’s idea. He just happened to be talking to the ancestor and gave me this idea.

tsk, tsk. As expected of Xu yinluo, who is proficient in military tactics, poetry, literature, and martial arts. He has the talent to rule a country.

Xu yinluo … Everyone looked at each other and had a feeling of ” so it’s him, then there’s nothing to be surprised about ” in their hearts.

I should have used my brain. I should have asked Xu yinluo directly.

Fu Jingmen smacked the table and sighed.

With such a God here, they actually turned a blind eye to it and argued for so long.

Yang cuixue said with emotion, ”

he is indeed talented in governing a country. Xu yinluo is Wei Yuan’s disciple. He has surpassed his master.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.

Rongrong, along with her fellow sect members from the ten thousand flower Inn, was in charge of brewing the medicine, commanding the soldiers to clean up the ruins, and restoring order to the military town as soon as possible.

“Master, why are you so unhappy?”

Rongrong turned her head and looked at the beautiful woman picking herbs.

Although it was sad that martial Union had suffered such a calamity, the enemy had been successfully repelled. Xu yinluo’s performance was spectacular, and the members of martial Union were fortunate enough to witness this world-shaking battle. Aside from a few who had lost their loved ones, the majority of the members were still excited.

This was especially true for the disciples of the affiliated forces. They were more relaxed.

After all, the headquarters wasn’t their own sect.

However, the beautiful woman had been frowning ever since the battle ended. It was obvious that she had something on her mind.

“I’m fine. Don’t talk too much and go do your work.”

The beautiful woman frowned and lectured.

Rongrong pursed her lips and muttered as she helped pick the herbs, ”

I’ve looked around, but I didn’t see Xu yinluo. Maybe he doesn’t live in this area.

The beautiful woman’s brows furrowed even more as she said earnestly, ”

“Rongrong, don’t hold any unnecessary fantasies. There are many girls who like Xu yinluo, but you can’t control a man like him.

“Are you willing to be a slave or a concubine?”

At this point, the beautiful woman’s face was dejected.

Seeing this, Rongrong was shocked and her face turned pale.

“Master, I’m not even sad, so why are you sad? could it be that you also like Xu yinluo? He can be your son.”

The beautiful woman was furious. Just as she was about to speak, a sword light suddenly flashed above her head. Several figures flew on their swords and landed somewhere in the military town.

The beautiful woman looked at the sky in a daze, her expression complicated.

In a courtyard in the southern part of the military town.

Chu Yuanqi, li Miaozhen, and Li lingsu pressed down on their flying swords and gently landed in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, an ordinary-looking woman was washing clothes on a small stool.

He gave them a sidelong glance, turned his head and shouted towards the house, ”

“You with the surname Xu, your scoundrel friends are here to find you.”

How could this woman speak like that … Li Miaozhen was unhappy.

Princess Consort? Chu Yuanqian repeatedly knocked on the ordinary-looking woman’s head, somewhat uncertain of her identity.

He knew that the legendary Princess of zhenbei had followed Xu Qi ‘an to travel the world.

However, the ordinary-looking face in front of him made it difficult for him to associate her with the number one beauty of Da Feng.

Xu Qi ‘an, who was changing the bed sheets in the room, came out when he heard the noise. He smiled as usual.

“Is the matter settled?”

His gaze stopped on Dongfang Wanqing.

Li lingsu ‘coughed’ and said,

“Brother Xu, sister Qing has no intention of becoming your enemy. We’re just serving our own Masters …”

Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand. I won’t make things difficult for her since you helped me.

Dongfang Wanqing heaved a sigh of relief.

His main enemies were Buddhism and Xu Pingfeng. Although the eastern sisters were also his enemies on this journey, they did not have much interaction with each other.

And compared to her sister, Dongfang Wanrong, Dongfang Wanqing’s presence was extremely low.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t hate her much. She was just not good enough.

Li lingsu stood with her hands behind her back and smiled.

sister Qin, I’ve told you. You have to believe me. I still have some face.

Xu Qi ‘an glanced at him and turned around expressionlessly. He shouted into the house, ”

“Chai Xing ‘er, come out for a moment.”

Li lingsu’s expression froze instantly!
