Chapter 112: Baiyun City Is Completed
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 10:01:00 +0000 UTCWhile the clone Neptune was undergoing the divine test on Sea God Island, on the other side, over in the original body Ye Cheng, the construction of Baiyun City was also beginning to get on track.
The Yu clan was Indeed a professional in architecture. They personally went to the old site of Baiyun City to investigate and after obtaining the actual data, they handed over the designed city plan to Ye Cheng within three days.
After Ye Cheng read the city plan they had drawn up, he was also quite satisfied. If they followed their idea, the area of the new Baiyun City would definitely be much larger than that of the old Baiyun City. Therefore, the area that was originally flattened would have to be expanded further.
This was not a difficult task for him. Ye Cheng just came to the scene in person and summoned the Feihong Sword. Then he sent a few sword energies down, directly cutting off some of the surrounding hills, and then used the broken soil of these hills to fill in some of the uneven terrain. Soon, the original place was expanded nearly three times. By the way, several more roads were opened to make the city’s communication with other cities smoother in the future.
After finishing the foundation.
Next, the Yu clan officially started the construction of Baiyun City. Of course, the other two clans were not idle either. Although they had no money, as soul masters, they could help with the construction, such as helping to move some heavy objects.
To build a city, such a huge project, the three major families with only a thousand people are certainly not enough. With such a small number of people, it will take a long time to complete the construction.
So at this time, it is necessary to mobilize the power of the masses to participate in construction.
Without spending any extra money, the Yu Clan directly spread the news that Ye Cheng was about to build Baiyun City, and then publicly recruited laborers who would not be paid, but only given food!
Of course, in return, they also promised that when Baiyun City was officially built, all those who participated in the labor would be able to buy housing in the city at a low price and become formal residents.
The most important thing is, as long as you are in Baiyun City, you can get the protection of Baiyun City Lord!
As soon as this news spread, it immediately caused a sensation.
Countless civilians flocked to the area, recruiting more than 800,000 young and middle-aged laborers in a short period of time. There was even an endless stream of people rushing in from other places.
The reason for this Is that, in addition to being able to buy housing at a low price, the main reason is the sense of security brought by the name of Ye Cheng. Living in such a city, it is simply a sense of security.
In fact, in this world where soul masters are supreme, ordinary civilians have no human rights. Their lives are as insignificant as grass. Even if some soul masters burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil, as long as they don’t provoke the nobles, simply target civilians, and don’t kill a large number of people, no one will care.
Even if the empire said nice things like you are all citizens of the empire, in reality, those nobles who are high above will never uphold justice for the common people and will only drive them like cattle and sheep.
Soul masters are too unscrupulous in this world.
Sometimes a family would be at home and suddenly find their house collapsed, and then they would die. Their death was unclear.
It turned out that two soul masters had been fighting for some unknown reason, and when they were fighting, they accidentally affected these civilians. It was like accidentally stepping on some ants while passing by. The authorities would not care about such a small matter, and no one would seek justice for these ordinary people and offend the noble soul masters.
Yes, this world is so deformed.
But now, as long as they join Baiyun City.
As long as they stay in this city, they will no longer have to worry about being accidentally injured and killed by a passing soul master.
They believe that no soul master would dare to act wildly in the city of Limit Douluo.
It is for this reason that Baiyun City attracts countless ordinary people.
Niu Gao stopped recruiting after he estimated that he had enough manpower. Others who missed out could only beat their chests and stamp their feet, regretting that they were a step too late.
In addition to these simple laborers, there are also many wealthy businessmen and small families and forces who come with their families to join the army.
Ye Cheng naturally welcomes all these people. After all, a city cannot have only residents, it also needs merchants who can ensure the circulation of transactions, as well as manufacturing and so on. There must be people from all walks of life, otherwise it would be too backward.
These merchants and small families who came to seek refuge were also an indispensable part of the construction of Baiyun City. In addition to residences, places such as shops and hotels were naturally indispensable in a city. But these people needed to take care of them themselves.
As the mayor of the city, Ye Cheng only needs to outline the general framework of the city, and leave the rest to his subordinates to improve and enrich.
That’s all.
Eight hundred thousand young and strong men worked day and night, and with the assistance of many recruited construction soul masters and huge amounts of money invested… After six months, Baiyun City was finally completed!
The construction plan of Baiyun City is generally based on the City Lord’s Mansion – Forbidden City as the core area. This is a place that belongs exclusively to the City Lord, and it is also the center of the entire city! It is equivalent to the ancient imperial palace.
Then there is the inner area close to the core area, which is mainly for the families that have surrendered to the city lord to live in. Then there is the outer area, which is mainly for ordinary city residents, as well as some shops and other trading places.
A city divides people into different classes, close and distant.
After Baiyun City was officially built, the 800,000 young and middle-aged laborers also bought an ordinary property in the outer area at a low price as they wished, and officially became a member of Baiyun City.
What followed was a large influx of population.
These young and middle-aged laborers are not alone. They have parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children… 800,000 people with their families eventually brought several million people to Baiyun City.
But even with these millions of people settled in, Baiyun City still seemed a bit empty. However, cities flowed between each other, and soon with the influx of a large number of outsiders, the newly built Baiyun City gradually began to prosper.
At this time, Ye Cheng, as the city lord, began to get busy. He needed to plan the division of positions in the city and assign those who came to him to appropriate positions.
After all, it’s such a big city, he can’t possibly manage it himself.
So, he first set up a law enforcement team.
The main purpose of this law enforcement team is to maintain order in the city, to prevent soul masters from disrupting the order of Baiyun City and killing innocent people. At the same time, it can also deter some lawless elements and some ambitious people, to prevent some people from abusing their power and doing some dirty things.
Even if his Baiyun City could not be as pure as the white clouds in the sky, at least it would not be like the others.
