"There must be a requirement for us to register at the Royal Academy, and that is the letter of recommendation from the City Lord." At this point, the old man had a look of worry on his face.
"Isn't it just a recommendation? As long as we have the strength, how can we not get it? Grandpa, you're underestimating us too much! " Tian Cheng said casually.
At this time, the old man also smiled and said, "Of course grandpa believes you. However, those nobles all have a weird temper. Moreover, we are all commoners, so grandpa doesn't think that you will be successful this time around."
"It doesn't matter, the problem is a solution, I'm just afraid that it won't be a problem. Tomorrow, I will go with my brothers to Green City to meet the City Lord. "
Tian Cheng excitedly said to his two younger brothers, "Young men, tomorrow, we will begin the first step of training in this small mountain village!"
Without any hesitation, the two brothers continued to run.
Tian Cheng turned around and said to his grandfather, "Grandfather, I'm going to the village to discuss some matters with Ginnit and the others. I haven't seen the houses in the village for a long time. I'm not sure how things are going."
"Go! They miss you every day! "Hahaha!"
Soon, he reached the village that he had saved with his bare hands. As he shuttled back and forth between the houses, Tian Cheng couldn't believe his eyes. Rows after rows of residential apartments with modern styles stood quietly on both sides of a wide road. This was Tian Cheng's "Employee Residence District".
"Isn't this speed too fast!" It's only been a month, but they've almost completely done it. Their efficiency is really high. " Tian Cheng smiled and continued walking inside.
After casually walking into a building that had been built, Tian Cheng started to size up the surroundings. A moment later, Ginnit and Billard, who had heard the news, arrived quickly.
"Young Master, you're here!" The two of them stood in front of Tian Cheng and bowed as they greeted.
"Sigh!" I say, why are you two so polite to me every time you see me? Come, sit down! " Seeing the respectful looks on the two uncles' faces, even though he had already done this many times, Tian Cheng was still too used to it. After finding a random spot, the three of them sat down.
Tian Cheng was the first to ask, "I don't know much about architecture apart from some design. Tell me, Bilade, what are the characteristics of these houses?"
"Yes, young master." The main body of these houses were made of bluestone, and the toughness of these houses was not even comparable to that of some noble houses. Young Master, you should know that there are two bluestone mountains on the way to the town. In the middle of the mountain, the uneven, narrow mountain road was inadvertently constructed into a flat road. "Now we've arrived in the town half the time we used to." At this point, Billard was visibly excited.
He already knew that the road was not pleasing to the eye. He also knew why the poor villagers living in such fertile land at the edge of the Magic Beast Forest were all because of this damnable road. If he wanted to become rich, he would have to repair the road first. Now that the road was fixed, he was in a good mood. At the very least, he wouldn't need to spend any more time opening up a road here. He then asked mockingly, "Are you guys really here to unintentionally build your own path?"
Billard laughed: "I can't hide it from you." Actually, all of us had always thought about working together to repair this road, so it would be more convenient for us to leave in the future. However, the road construction was too time-consuming and exhausting. Everyone had to run around everyday in order to earn a living. How could they afford to waste time? So this problem has been left unsolved until now. If not for Young Master giving so much money to everyone and not having the chance to build a house, there's no need to even mention the road. Young Master, you are the reborn parent of us all! " At this moment, the two of them had snot and tears.
This was what Tian Cheng could not stand the most, he immediately stopped him and said, "Stop! Stop! Didn't I want you to talk about the house? Why are you saying that you are on the way? "
"Oh!" "Sorry young master, I was too excited just now and couldn't control myself." Billard wiped it off and continued, "According to Young Master's requirements, apart from the extremely solid material called bluestone, all the other construction materials, except for some that can be used on the spot, are all top quality materials bought from the town or the city. None of them are of inferior quality. Therefore, none of the houses we built were not solid and exquisite. According to your plan, young master, four hundred such houses have already been built. Two hundred thirty-four have already been built, and twenty-six are still under construction. That's all I'm responsible for, and everything else is handled by Ginnit. "
Hearing Billard's report, Tian Cheng nodded his head and revealed a look of satisfaction. He had never expected such a result. Without any technological equipment, within a month, he could build over two hundred rooms. It was not easy to build a kitchen and a guard house. The efficiency of people in this world was quite high.
"Hearing that Billard had finished, Ginnit began his report." This time, out of the five hundred people in our village, besides some children and the disabled, there are a total of four hundred and fifty people who participated in the work. "As our salary is higher than others', in this month, we have already paid close to 10,000 gold coins. Adding in the cost of those building materials, up to now, the gold coins we have spent are …" Then, Ginnit opened his eyes wide and read the numbers on the paper one by one. "Eighty-one thousand nine hundred and forty-two gold coins, plus three silver coins and five copper coins. The remaining 1,123 gold coins, 6 silver coins and 5 copper coins were all used up. There are enough houses for the villagers to live in now, so we plan to take a break after we finish repairing these dozens of houses. After all, it's useless to cultivate much now, what do you think? "
"I'll do as you say!" When Tian Cheng heard the detailed report, he was completely at ease. Why should he be worried about giving these small matters to them? Moreover, it seemed like there was not enough money left now. The treasures in the ring only had half a box of gold coins left, that was all. The rest was handed over to Gernet.
Looking at the two, Tian Cheng continued, "This time, besides understanding the matters of the village, I have something else to tell you."
Tian Cheng stood up and looked at the familiar house and said, "The test for you all has ended here. I am honoured to tell you all that our construction team can now form and realize your dreams."
Hearing Tian Cheng's words, the duo's emotions were stirred once again. Just as they were about to do something, Tian Cheng splashed a spoonful of cold water on them.
"However, don't get excited right now, because I haven't received any business yet. What that means is, it's not time for the construction team to be formed yet. However, the two of you should investigate the skilled craftsmen and see if they are willing to join our construction team in the future. I'm sure that as long as we take over the first part of the business, our construction team will develop at a rapid pace. "
The two of them nodded. They had never doubted Tian Cheng's words.
"Also, I'll be going to the Royal Academy in a few days to study, so I'll have a talk with the two of you. Now, the safety of the village should not be a big problem. A hundred years ago, this kind of situation had never occurred, and the Mad Wolf Bandit Group had only come here because they were on the spur of the moment. "No one in the area has any ideas about our village."
"Saint Bist Royal Academy!" "Are you talking about the Royal Academy of St. Best, which is located in the largest and most prosperous city in the empire?" Gernett asked in surprise. His open mouth could fit two eggs in it.
"That's right!" Have you been there? "
Hearing Tian Cheng's affirmation, the duo was dumbfounded. Although this young master was like a deity in his heart, after all, deities were ethereal and intangible. However, if it was a student from Saint Bist Royal Academy, it would be an existence they would definitely look up to.
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Tian Cheng didn't really care. He continued, "But first, we have to get the recommendation letter from the City Lord."
"City Lord, are you talking about Green City's City Lord Albright?" Gernett was the first to react.
"You know?"
"Young master, if you had gone to him for a recommendation, the result would have been a little bad. This City Lord is very annoyed recently! "
"Oh!" "What do you mean?"
"Actually, the entire city knows about this matter. I only heard about it when I went to the city to gather materials." A few months ago, the City Lord's favorite little girl contracted a strange disease. It was useless even after searching for all the light mages. The mayor of Albans was very tired of this, and now the people of the city were frightened of the city, fearing that the nobles would set fire to them. However, I've heard that this City Lord is not bad. "Young master, I advise you not to go now. If you anger him …"
Tian Cheng laughed, "I like going against the current. Tomorrow, I'll go meet with the mayor."
