Cheng Yu knew why he wanted to build such a village for these refugees. Although he had a kind nature, it was mostly because he felt guilty towards these refugees.
He believed that the reason why there were so many refugees in the world was because he had challenged the dynasty.
Although the civil war broke out later on, it was all because of their own ambition and the temptation of benefits. It seemed to have nothing to do with him.
But he had to admit that he was the fuse of the whole incident.
Moreover, even if the world was in chaos later on, he would still order Bai Li to create some trouble for these foreign dynasties, so that their internal strife would become even more intense.
It was because of his step-by-step guidance that there were so many refugees in the world.
Looking at these suffering commoners, he had to admit that his heart had indeed softened, and he had developed a heart of compassion.
Therefore, he wanted to build a happy village for them, hoping that their future life would be happy.
However, he was not stupid. This village was not built casually.
Since it was to protect them, he could not possibly build this village in the most conspicuous place, and it was even more impossible to build it at the entrance of Yungui City.
Otherwise, if the dynasty really attacked in the future, could it be that he would have to use these refugees as a shield for his Cheng Family?
Although Cheng Yu had always been shameless, he really could not do such a thing.
Therefore, the location of this happy village was rather special. In his imagination, if there was a need, he could even directly extend the current city wall of Yungui City and enclose the happy village within the city wall.
This way, the happy village could become one with Yungui City and become the outer city of Yungui City. The original Yungui City would become the inner city.
This was Cheng Yu's original idea. Therefore, when he designed this happy village, he also designed it according to the layout of the city.
Other than not being surrounded by the city wall, the living environment of the commoners here was actually not much different from the commoners' residential area in the city.
However, the scale of the happy village was still too small. It was far from meeting the requirements of the Cheng Family to build a city wall and develop it into an outer city.
If one day, the population of Happiness Village was large enough to the point that it needed to be turned into a city, then he could extend the walls of the village and turn it into the outer city of the Yun Gui Kingdom.
This way, Yungui City would form the layout of an inner and outer city, and the protection effect would be even better.
This was Cheng Yu's foresight.
However, building an outer city wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.
Now that the outside world was so chaotic, if it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't spend so much manpower and resources to do such a thing.
Fortunately, their Cheng Family's system was special. If they really had to build an outer city, as long as the task of building the outer city was sent out, there would be no need for the Cheng Family to build the outer city!
A large number of people helped the Cheng family build the city, just like how they had built the small cultivation cities in the past.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. With money, there will be more people. With more people, things will be easier.
Even back then, with everyone's help, it only took them two to three years to build the 53 small cultivation cities at the same time.
Right now, they were only building an outer city in Yungui City. If the Cheng family really wanted to send out the mission, it wouldn't take too much time. It was just that there was no need to do so at the moment.
However, although Cheng Yu had the foresight to prepare for a rainy day, he still underestimated his own actions.
In the eyes of outsiders, the matter of Cheng Yu building a Happy Village for these refugees had touched a lot of people. A lot of people admired Cheng Yu's spirit.
Therefore, the news of this matter quickly spread out, and it spread further and further.
In the end, even more people, especially the refugees, heard that there was such a strange thing in this world. How could they care so much about it? They all ran towards the Cheng family's sphere of influence.
Even those who were not refugees were running towards the direction of the Cheng family with their families and belongings.
There was no other way, the world was too chaotic. Even if they hadn't become refugees yet, the scourge of war had already spread to where they were. For safety's sake, they all wanted to try their luck.
To see if the Cheng family was really as good as everyone said. Not only did they provide food for the refugees, they even built houses and villages for them. They even arranged jobs for them. Such a good thing was simply unheard of.
However, regardless of whether those people really believed this or not, it had to be said that this matter had indeed attracted the attention of too many people. A large number of people were rushing towards the Cheng family.
To the Cheng family, although it was a bit surprising that so many people had come, the Patriarch had already instructed them to accept all of them, regardless of whether they were refugees or those who had brought their families to move.
Thinking back to the time when some cities wanted to gather more people in their cities, they came up with all kinds of preferential strategies to attract everyone.
It could be said that they begged others to come, but they were still unwilling.
Now that there were so many people coming to the Cheng family, although these people were just refugees, it seemed like they would only continue to consume resources.
But as long as you could make use of them, then they could create value, produce benefits, and turn into resources.
Therefore, this was what Cheng Yu did.
Although Cheng Yu had the intention to help them, he would definitely not keep feeding them. That was not realistic.
After all, there were a large number of refugees rushing towards the Cheng family every day. Even if the Cheng family was very rich, they could casually do business with cultivators and feed a bunch of ordinary people. However, doing good deeds was not blindly giving.
Therefore, no matter how rich the Cheng family was, it was impossible for them to raise so many idlers for no reason.
Since there were so many people rushing towards the Cheng family, then the Yun Gui Imperial Court that he had originally envisioned would have the most solid foundation.
Therefore, the Cheng family first started to count these refugees, registered them, and arranged for them to continue to build more residential areas on the foundation of the original Happy Village. They even started to build streets, a large number of shops, and all kinds of commercial buildings.
If there were still people, he would let them build the city walls.
This time, Cheng Yu no longer gave out external missions to the cultivators because compared to the contribution points of those cultivators, the cost of hiring these ordinary people to build the city was much smaller.
For example, issuing the simplest mission would at least give out 10 contribution points, and 10 contribution points could be exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone.
However, if a low-grade spirit stone were to be exchanged for gold, it would be at least 10 gold taels.
10 gold taels could hire many ordinary people to do a lot of work.
It was just that hiring ordinary people to do these things was much slower. However, if he was not in a hurry to finish building the outer court in a short period of time, there was no reason for him to spend so many times the price to hire cultivators to do these things.
After all, there were so many refugees who needed to eat, and the work of building the city was very complicated. At the very least, it could provide them with a few years of work.
With this job, they did not have to worry about starving.
Besides, Cheng Yu had already assigned them a free house and arranged a new identity for them. This kind of life was very promising for them. Every day, they only needed to go to work on time.
Because in the eyes of the commoners, as long as there was no war, their families did not have to starve, and they could earn money every day, they would work even harder.
And Cheng Yu had given them such a new life, so they were extremely grateful to Cheng Yu.
As for this city, the more people there were, the more demand there would be. Once the demand was big, there would be a market.
With a market, naturally, there would be a need for more people to manage this city. Therefore, even if the outer city was built in the future, they would not have to worry about not having a job.
The entire small city of Yungui had an additional outer court, which meant that there were millions of people.
With so many people's clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, it was all a business. As long as there was money to be made, there would be any business to be made. Therefore, these people would eventually return to their own industries.
Moreover, not all of these refugees were refugees. There were some who brought their property here to settle down.
When these people came to the Cheng Family, they would naturally not work as labourers. They directly opened a shop and started a business. Once a shop was opened, they would need workers.
Therefore, these people were making great contributions to the development of Yungui City.
Three years passed in a flash. Under the efforts of millions of people, the outer city of Yungui City was basically completed.
Seeing that the flourishing Yungui City was becoming more and more lively, Cheng Yu was also very satisfied.
As the number of refugees increased almost every day, the outer city was built very large. The current Yungui City did not count the secular side. Just looking at the cultivation world side, the inner city and the outer city added together, it was a huge city.
Such a city was rare even among the first rank cities in the cultivation world.
Patriarch, your original idea was really too wonderful. After this Yungui City was extended, our inner city has become a piece of iron plate.
Now, even if someone wanted to attack Yungui City, it would be impossible! Han Yaowu followed Cheng Yu and stood on top of a nearby mountain. From afar, he could see the whole picture of Yungui City.
At this moment, looking at such a magnificent city, Han Yaowu felt especially excited. The pride in his heart was indescribable.
This was because he had contributed a lot to this huge city. To be able to see such a huge city rise from the ground with his own eyes, how could he not be excited
Although the city has been built, to a cultivator, destroying such a city is a matter of time.
Next, you should arrange for the disciples of the Formation Hall to go to Yungui City to set up the formation.
A city without a formation is just a few stones in front of a true expert Cheng Yu reminded.
Patriarch, please rest assured, I have already arranged this. As long as the city is built, these people will immediately go to Yungui City to set up the formation.
There will definitely be no opportunity for thieves to take advantage of Han Yaowu said.
