Chapter 203 The Current Situation of Xiayi
The towering Taihang River stands thousands of feet high.
Among the mountains and ridges, Wei Xiang's team was like a team of inconspicuous ants, trekking towards his destination with difficulty.
Although this is not the first time I have walked through Baixing, this steep mountain road still makes Wei Xiang sigh: "If you want to be rich, you have to build a road!"
"Build a road?" Shi Xie, who was beside Wei Xiang, couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Don't think about it, how could such a steep terrain be able to make a road? That must be the miracle of Tai Yishen."
"Only God Tai can cultivate?" Wei sneered at this sentence.
If the roads in Taihang Mountains are immortals, wouldn’t China in the future be 1.4 billion gods?
But at present, Wei Xiang must admit that as a time traveler, he does not have many ways to deal with nature.
Wei Xiang snorted and said, "One day, I will make this natural barrier turn into a thoroughfare!"
Shi Xie said oh, and yawned a big yawn.
Xiayi has arrived.
After careful calculation, it has been more than a month or two months since Wei Xiang left here last time.
Compared with when Wei Xiang left, this city built on the basis of the Li Rong people's garrison has undergone great changes.
In this era, the materials for building cities were mainly made of sand and soil, but they had to pay attention to local materials when doing anything. Therefore, the one that appeared in front of Wei Xiang was a long wooden wall formed by piles with wood.
It is better to say it is a village wall than a city wall. After all, Xiayi is now similar to a large mountain village.
Wei Xiang was not affected at all. He hugged Lan Ru, felt the beauties in his arms, and said enthusiastically: "Look at Ru'er, this is the country that I have built for you!"
Looking at the admiring expression in Lan Ru's eyes, Wei Xiang's self-confidence was greatly satisfied.
A sour voice sounded: "Don't you Chinese people pay great attention to etiquette? It seems that hugging and hugging in public does not conform to Chinese etiquette."
It was Lan Jie, the "second brother-in-law" whom Wei Xiang had not seen for a while.
Originally, Lan Ji left Jiangdu with Wei Xiang, but later because of the need to sell ginseng, he returned to Xiayi again and replaced Xia Jing to stay here.
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "How does it feel to be an official?"
For a long time, Lan Yi himself was the highest commander of Xiayi. His face became significantly haggard in all kinds of hard work.
Lan Jie snorted heavily and said with great dissatisfaction: "It feels bad. Every day I sleep here, I have to worry about whether I will be cut off by a bastard slave the next day!"
Wei Xiang jumped out of the carriage with a smile and patted Lan Jie on the shoulder: "You are doing a good job and I will give you ten thousand yuan as a salary!"
Lan Jie's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Actually, I have some experience in managing these slaves. After all, you are also my sister-in-law. It's not impossible for you to ask me to continue to manage them. Of course, you have to pay."
Wei Xiang snapped his fingers: "No problem, from now on, you will be my Xia family contractor, and I will give you eight thousand a month! Now, let me see how my Xiayi looks like."
"Eight thousand?" Lan Jie's tiger body shook, and her waist suddenly bent down unconsciously, and the smile on her face began to become flattering: "Doctor, please, please, please!"
A moment later, several black lines were faintly seen on Wei Xiang's forehead: "...Tell me, what is the difference between this and Nei Juru?"
Whether it is the layout of the building or the appearance of the building, it is simply a second fault!
Lan Jie spread his hands helplessly: "What else do you want? I'm not you Chinese, either."
"Reform, it must be changed!" Wei Xiang made a decisive conclusion: "I brought special craftsmen from the Xia Palace. From today on, you will be responsible for supervising the work of the slaves, and all other things will be handed over to the construction craftsmen."
As a Chinese, what if you don’t know how to demolish and build a big deal?
As the lord of Xiayi, Wei Xiang's lord's mansion is located in the deepest part of the valley. It is a wooden two-story building. Although it is not grand enough, it is better than spacious enough.
In the first floor lobby of the Lord's Mansion, Wei Xiang summoned all the "middle and high-level" of the Xia family.
Sima Xiajing was a member of the family, followed by several minor officials from Wei, followed by Lan Jie, the guy who was thrown by Guru, and then three respected fellow villagers elected from a hundred households, and then... gone.
Wei Xiangxin was a little tired. Others had fewer dozens of villages, dozens or even hundreds of them. Wei Xiang's Xiayi was obviously a fief of doctors, but there were only one hundred households. At best, it was just about a small town or a big village in other people.
It turns out that everything is difficult at the beginning.
Wei Xiang comforted himself, and then said seriously: "Everyone present is my own people, and I don't hide it from you. Xiayi is the land that we just captured in the Jin Dynasty, so Chidi cannot be willing to hand over Xiayi to us. After the autumn harvest, Liu Xu and Hu in Chidi are likely to collude to attack. We must be prepared from today."
After Wei Xiang finished speaking, the lobby suddenly became quiet.
Lan Jie gasped and asked subconsciously: "How many troops can Liu Yu and the Hu clan organize?"
Wei Xiang thought for a while and said, "If they could gather enough troops, there should be more than 5,000."
Lan Jie asked again: "How many of us are there?"
Wei Xiang coughed and said, "Five Hundred Armenians, Wei's."
Lan Jie: "..."
Although I really wanted to say something, perhaps because Lan Ru kept looking at her with a cannibalistic gaze, Lan Ji still didn't say a word after all.
Lan Ji didn't say anything, but Shi Xie on the other side couldn't help it: "Five hundred to five thousand, how to fight this battle?"
Wei Xiang smiled: "It's just five thousand chaotic people, don't worry, they can't be our opponents. We have also accelerated our progress during this period. We have familiarized ourselves with the situation. After we defeat these two Chidi teams, the development and construction of Xiayi can be put on the agenda."
Perhaps it was Wei Xiang's confidence that infected everyone, or perhaps it was still a long time, so everyone didn't continue to say anything, and this short meeting ended here.
Seeing that there were no one left in the lobby, Shi Xie bowed to Wei Xiang: "Goodbye."
Wei Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Where are you going?"
Shi Xie said angrily: "I won't go home, can you stay here and wait for death?"
Wei Xiang sighed: "Why do you explain to your uncle when you go back?"
Shi Xie's face changed and he immediately said, "He knew that such a situation would definitely not say anything."
Wei Xiang said oh, saying, "Then you go, don't send me off."
Looking at Shi Xie's leaving figure, Lan Ru, who was standing next to Wei Xiang, couldn't help but say, "Honey, did you really let Siqing leave?"
Wei Xiang said lightly: "Three, two, one... OK, I'm back."
Just as Wei Xiang finished speaking, Shi Xie reappeared in the lobby.
"Tell me about your plan!"

"Hengjian's Discussion on Wei Xiayi Chapter": "The First Emperor was promoted to a doctor for his merits and was granted the title of Xiayi.
There was a Chidi Hu clan who coveted the invasion, and everyone was shocked. Because there were no soldiers or generals in the first establishment of Xiayi, they were afraid that they could not resist Chidi's soldiers.
The First Emperor calmly said, "My city was built but I had no labor. Chi Di sent troops to give it to me. Isn't this God's favor to my Xia town?"
