I'm in Liyue, but I'm the only person in the chat group?

Lisa, who had been sitting on the sofa reading a book, raised her head, looked at Qin, who was frowning, and comforted:

"Looking at the bright side of things, at least Diluc is back, which means he still has feelings for Mond, doesn't it?"

"There have been a lot of fools in Mondstadt recently. How can I not be worried?"

Faced with Lisa's relief, Qin only felt a sense of powerlessness all over her body.

She was already entangled in endless trivial matters.

Not only do they have to face the trouble caused by the lack of high-end combat power, but they also have to be careful of fooling the public at all times.

All of this really made Qin, who had just become the acting leader, feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Kaia, what's going on over there in Liyue? What happened when Abedo suddenly came to apply to go to Liyue two days ago?"

Seeing Qin so tired, Lisa had no choice but to close the book in her hand and handle the government affairs for her best friend.

"The specific situation is not clear. Abedo said that someone from Liyue invited him to teach."

Kaia stretched out her hand and stroked her chin, thought about it carefully, and then said:

"A lot of things have happened in Liyue recently. The Layer Rock Abyss has been sealed, and the ore exports have been restricted by Qixing."

"Also, Liyue seems to be building embankments in Guiliyuan, and I heard people say that a new city is going to be built."

"Building a new city in Guiliyuan? Thanks to the God of Wind, I finally heard good news."

The news that a new city was going to be built in Liyue cheered up the exhausted Qin.

As she said herself, she finally heard good news among a bunch of bad news.

"Indeed, this is good news."

Lisa on the side also agreed with Qin's idea.

As long as Liyue builds a new city in Guiliyuan, Mondstadt's merchants can save a lot of transportation costs, which indirectly stimulates Mondstadt's economic development.

"Okay Kaiya, isn't Abedo going to Liyue to teach? You can let him lead the team to Liyue as an envoy to discuss business matters between the two parties."

Thinking of Abedo's previous application, Qin decisively issued the order.

"Okay, I'll go and notify Albedo right away."

Soon, Kaia found Albedo who was teaching Timaeus and Sugar.

"Let me be the messenger, okay."

After listening to Kaiya relaying Ziqin's plan, Abedo thought for a moment and then agreed.

Ever since he received Han Xiao's letter last time, he had planned to go to Liyue to see him, but he couldn't leave because of the experiment, and he didn't have time until the experiment was completed two days ago.

During this period, he also communicated with Han Xiao to explain it, and chatted with him about a lot of alchemy knowledge.

It was precisely because the correspondence between the two increased that Abedo gradually became very interested in Han Xiao's ideas, so he accepted Han Xiao's request to teach him alchemy.

Now that he heard that Liyue was building a new city, he knew that this matter was probably related to Han Xiao.

So I agreed to Kaiya and Qin's opinions.

Liyue·Gui Liyuan

On the river bank in front of Wangshu Inn, countless workers were busy working along the river bank, and teams of Qianyan troops were patrolling around.

The construction site is surrounded by piles of freshly dug and dried river sand, as well as hills of cement.

Many workers are using shovels to mix soft river sand with cement.

On the bank of the river, a winding 'long dragon' has already taken shape.

Near the anchor point far away from the original river bank, a large number of workers are delivering soil dug from the river here.

Not far away, next to a newly built house, Qian Yanjun was moving batches of materials from the house to the car. It was the cement on the river bank.

Next to the house, there is a wooden house in which many secretaries of the General Affairs Department are busy working nervously.

"There is not enough cement to build the embankment. Inform them to speed up production."

"Where's the plan? Master Hanxiao wants the plan!"

"Let me look for it and send it over as soon as I find it."

"Finance, have you finished the salary report for this month? The salary will be paid tomorrow!"

"It's done, it's done, we're doing the calculations."

More than a month had passed since the construction of the new city was announced. Han Xiao and nearly one million Liyue residents walked along the mountains for more than ten days before arriving at Guiliyuan.

Yes, a million.

In addition to the 500,000 unemployed miners, many people signed up with the mentality of giving it a try.

After arriving at Guiliyuan, Han Xiao first led everyone to camp down, and then arranged for the newly selected Qianyan Army to divide the residents into several batches based on the forms they filled out when registering.

A group of people entered the cement factory opened by Han Xiao in the name of Yunhan and Han's family, and continued to produce cement day and night.

He arranged for another group of people to travel between Liyue Port and Guiliyuan to ensure the transportation of materials for them.

The remaining people were the largest group, and Han Xiao divided them into two groups, one for building dams and the other for building cities.

Although the conditions are simple and the workload is heavy, the faces of these people are full of hope.

Because they know very well that they are not only running for life, but also for the future of the new city.

I believe that when the new city stands on Guiliyuan, they will be able to proudly shout, 'After a thousand years, the people of Liyue have finally returned to their old land.'

Chapter 41 Hanxiao’s plan (Part 1)

Where is Hanxiao at this time?

He, Keqing and several secretaries were walking on the land of Guiliyuan.

"There are a lot of gaps in these places."

After several days of field investigation, Keqing, as a civil engineering lady, naturally discovered the problem.

Most of the land in Guiliyuan is flat, but perhaps because it has been abandoned for too long, the thousands of years of erosion by the Bishui River have made the ground somewhat uneven.

To put it simply, in some places, there are stones, which are slowly covered with sand and form small highlands.

"It's okay. I've expected it. Just send someone to clean it up."

Hearing Ke Qing's worry, Han Xiao rubbed her sore shoulders and said nonchalantly.

He naturally knew that after a long period of erosion by the Bishui River, the surface of Guiliyuan had changed.

But now that there are so many workers, it’s easy to fill in a piece of land.

"Give me the map."

Han Xiao spread out his right hand and motioned to the secretary to give him the map.

The secretary on the side quickly took out the map from the backpack behind him and handed it to Han Xiao.

"Look."

After taking the map, Han Xiao found a fairly flat stone on the side of the road and spread the map out on it.

After Keqing and the secretaries gathered around, he pointed to the marks on the map and said:

"There is a river here, and the two banks can be used as crop areas after being filled in."

"There is a small high ground nearby with many ruins on it. I sent people to check it out. There is no secret room underneath the ruins. They are all stone foundations."

"We can build a new urban area centered here and then radiate outward."

It turns out that Hanxiao has been planned in advance?

Seeing that Han Xiao had marked many marks on the map, Ke Qing suddenly realized:

"So you just dragged us out for a field trip this time?"

"Yes, we have to look at the actual situation."

Han Xiao nodded. This was his first time presiding over the construction of a city. He wouldn't worry if he didn't come to conduct an on-site inspection in person.

Keqing stared at the map for a long time, then waved the secretaries to leave for now. After she and Han Xiao were left alone, she asked:

"Hanxiao, the new city has begun to be built, and Ningguang also asked me to assist you."

"Now it's time for you to tell me your detailed plan."

I have to say that Keqing has always been very troubled.

It was Qixing's decision to hand over the construction of the new city to Han Xiao, and they also recommended themselves to help the other party.

She had no objection to Qixing's decision, but Han Xiao had not told her the detailed plan for building the city after being here for more than a month.

This made Ke Qing extremely uncomfortable. Now that Han Xiao took the initiative to bring it up, she naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to fully understand the question.

"Fine."

Hearing this, Han Xiao thought for a while and then said:

"You should know about embankment building, so I won't go into details."

"Let's talk about building the city first. I asked Ningguang to find a lot of architects for me and let them design the city. Of course, the areas are left to us to plan."

"Then it's about cleaning up the monsters in Guiliyuan."

Thinking of this, Han Xiao turned around and looked at Yi Ying Keqing:

"You have already started to do this."

"I did it, I sent the Qianyan Army to clean up the Qiuqiu people's camps all the way, but Guiliyuan is too big."

Hearing Han Xiao's question, Ke Qing answered seriously.

"I have asked the Liyue Adventurers Association to recruit a group of adventurers to help the Qianyan Army clean up the monsters."

"You can capture slimes and the like first, but don't kill them yet."

Han Xiao suddenly thought of the slimes of various elements on the Teyvat continent, and a very Alice-like idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

That is to use the elemental properties of slime to replace some of the higher-tech machines in the previous life.

Take a development path full of Teyvat characteristics.

Of course, whether slime can be used will have to wait until Albedo arrives.

Anyway, the other party had promised in his first letter to come to Liyue to teach him alchemy.

"Slime, okay, I'll note it down."

Keqing took out a small notebook directly from the Eye of God and wrote down Han Xiao's suggestions.

"After talking about these points, which you probably knew before, the next step is my detailed plan."

Han Xiao picked up a pen and started from the Liyue Port Bridge on the map. The notes followed the road all the way to Guiliyuan.

"This is the current road between Liyue Port and Guiliyuan. When the river embankment is built, this road must be renovated."

"You mean to rebuild it with cement?"

Ke Qing immediately understood Han Xiao's plan and was keenly aware of its benefits.

Cement is the material Han Xiao used to build embankments. She has seen that material before. It is very strong and is an excellent building material.

There are currently only two trade routes between Liyue and Mondstadt.

One is the shipping route from Liyue Port to Jingfu Port.

The other is the relatively stable land trade route of Liyue → Guiliyuan → Shimen → Mondstadt.

Although the road to the snow-capped mountains is possible, it is too dangerous. I believe that no businessman would dare to take the risk and go to the snow-capped mountains.

Unfortunately, the Guiliyuan trade route has always been a simple road construction.

The carriage was quite bumpy when walking on it.

Now Han Xiao plans to use cement, an excellent building material, to renovate the road after the dam is built. Keqing can foresee that after the road is built, the business between Liyue and Mondstadt will definitely be much faster.

"Your family and the Yun family have made a lot of money recently, right?"

Thinking of this, Ke Qing couldn't help but tease Han Xiao.

Cement, a building material, is simply the ‘dream material’ of a civil engineering lady like her.
