Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran deliberately left the eldest brother in the back mountain. She thought that Chu Zhaolin would be too lonely alone, and it would be good to have someone to accompany him.

It would be best if I could get something out of Chu Zhaolin through the boss.

However, Chu Zhaolin was very wary. Even though Leng Youran had asked the boss to find out, there had been no movement in the past two days.

"Okay, I'll go check it out every now and then these two days."

"Well, as for that deep mountain you mentioned, we'll take Master there in the next two days."

You Xian did not refuse. He was also very curious about what the Yao people were doing by suddenly entering the world.

At the very least, we should take a look at what kind of place the Yao people live in.

After all, the Yao people have always been a myth.

Even he had no idea where they were.

Ever since he started to regard himself as a human being, You Xian felt that he was becoming more and more ignorant.

I thought he knew everything, but now it seems that he is also a frog in the well.

three days later

Leng Youran found Leng Chengye when he came back from logging with his men.

"What? Ran'er, you want to build a city wall. Isn't the wall still in good condition? Why do you want to rebuild it?"

Leng Youran didn't say anything but asked his father to hand over all matters to Leng Yuheng and others, and took his father back home.

The old man nodded after learning about Leng Youran's plan. He had already heard from You Xian about Liucheng and the Yao people.

Besides, so many things happened after they went to the capital this time. Since her granddaughter wanted to build a city wall, it must be because she had thought it over carefully.

"Dad, the city wall is still usable, but it's not high enough. News of what happened in the north hasn't gotten out yet. If it does, Zhao Mingyao will definitely be wary. We must get everything ready before they do. Besides, I'm not only planning to raise the city wall, I'm also going to build walls on Beiwang Mountain and Qishan. Then the wall on Qishan will be built behind the Taoist temple. Although some rocks are inconvenient, it's safer that way."

She was not worried about excavating the mountain. After all, she had an "all-powerful" master, and the excavator would be able to finish it in a few days. As for the city wall, she actually wanted to tear it down and rebuild it, but her master said that it was made of mud and was one meter thick, so it seemed unnecessary.

However, raising the height is imperative.

This way she could block any masters who wanted to fly over the city wall.

An Liu sent a letter back the day before yesterday, saying that the spy sent by Zhao Mingyao had been intercepted and killed by them.

This is only the first wave. If those people don't go back to report, it will inevitably arouse Zhao Mingyao's suspicion.

She had to make all preparations before Zhao Mingyao and Queen Mother Chu fought.

"Let's listen to Ran'er. She's right. The city wall is 12 feet high now, so we'll extend it to 18 feet."

Leng Youran quietly converted it in his mind. One meter is equal to three feet, twelve feet is four meters, and eighteen feet is six meters high.

Six meters is very high, almost the height of a modern two-story building.

But she still said, "Why not just two meters!" It's already been added, so the higher the better.

"Not only do we need to raise it higher, but we also need to make it thicker so that four people can pass through it at the same time."

Old Master Leng thought about it and felt that what she did made sense. If they really faced Zhao Mingyao in the future, it would be difficult to pile up stones on the current city wall.

Without waiting for Leng Chengye to speak, he made the decision: "Just do as Ran'er said."

What else could Leng Chengye do? The younger and the older ones had already made the decision, so how could he, as the one in the middle, have a say?

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Leng Chengye acted quickly and started building the city wall that night.

Upon hearing the news, Chief Mao hurried over. After learning the whole story from Old Man Leng, he also said that this was the correct response.

Without even having time to chat with Old Man Leng, he immediately went to call on his clansmen to come and help. Old Man Leng didn't even have a chance to refuse before he disappeared.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when Leng Youran learned about this.

She happened to go to the city wall to see the construction progress and saw many people from the Maolu tribe busy working there. It was no wonder that she could recognize those people.

They all wore a turban on their heads, which was very different from the habits of the people in the north, so it was very obvious.

"Master." Huo Tong was in charge of the main matters of building the city wall this time. He and Li Yi were each doing their job under Leng Chengye's assignment. When he saw her coming, he hurried to her side.

"Well, why are the people from Maolu here too? The work here is so tiring, why don't you let them go back?" She still felt sorry for the ordinary people, especially the people from Maolu who had just arrived. It was a bit inappropriate for them to do such heavy work as soon as they arrived.

"They refused to listen and came yesterday. I discussed it with the master and also consulted with the chief of the Mao clan, but he said that they had plenty of strength and could still do it. There was no other way, the master had to agree."

Leng Youran looked at the people who were mixing cement. Although beads of sweat were falling on their faces, they had smiles on their faces.

"Alright, since they're like this, we'll give them money if they want it. You can also ask for food. By the way, do we have enough cement and sand? If not, tell the cement factory and Li Tianming in advance."

"Okay, I understand. As for cement, it's sufficient for now. The cement factory has been prioritizing delivery to the North for a while now. As for sand, that goes without saying. Ever since Third Young Master Li learned that sand and cement could be mixed, they've been delivering it non-stop."

Leng Youran nodded slightly, and followed Huo Tong to inspect the area around the city wall again.

The foundation was dug very deep, and a lot of blue bricks were placed around the foundation, all of which were intended to be used as the foundation.

Because the original city wall needs to be wrapped, the area close to the old city wall needs to be reinforced with cement and sand.

Now all the builders have been replaced by those who were captured before, and Li Yi and Huo Tong no longer need to do it themselves.

Their men were also kept as overseers.

Li Yi and the people he brought with him are also busy now. They are digging and building the city wall near Beiwang Mountain.

As for her father, he was in charge of construction matters in the north, and her second uncle supervised the construction and management of the factory.

Last night, she heard from Old Master Leng that a batch of clothing from the garment factory had been taken out by Hua Mingche and Ye Chaoyang. It would take another two days to know the specific sales volume.

However, the clothes she designed will surely not be unsalable. Although not stunning, they are definitely not comparable to those sold by the merchants here.

While thinking about many things in her mind, she observed the workers' construction. Seeing that they showed no signs of cutting corners, she left.

As for Qishan, we can only do it after these two city walls are built.

She wandered aimlessly in the city and saw that many shops had wooden signs hanging on their doors, but there were no names on them yet.

Thinking that her father was leading people to make a loom, she couldn't help but walk towards the sawmill out of curiosity.
