After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 479 City Blueprint

Looking at the boxes of all sizes on the ground, plus the various silver coins stored in her space, let alone building a city, even five large cities would be no problem at all.

Xia Wanniang returned Aunt Xiao's box and said, "Mother, you see I don't need money now, so you can keep this for now. I'll talk to you when I don't have money."

Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded, then handed the box to Qiu He: "Qiu He, just keep it. Whenever Wan Niang needs it, just give it to her directly. You don't need to ask for my opinion."

Qiu He took the box with a smile: "Okay, old lady."

Xia Wanniang looked at Chai Song and said, "Go and post a notice, ten taels of silver per month for the construction of the city."

Chai Song smiled and bowed: "I'll go now."

When Xiao Chiye heard the news from Gu Man, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Xia Wanniang meant, and whispered a few words to Xu Li and Qingfeng.

The two nodded to show that they understood.

Xu Li looked at these tribes and said, "We are not unkind people. Since you don't have so many cattle, sheep and horses, you must have silver. We won't ask for more than twice the market price."

"Double? Your Excellency, the price you are asking is too high." The envoy felt a headache when he heard this.

Xu Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "This is a severe drought. Our price is twice as high as it is already very cheap, and there is no limit on the supply. Why don't you go to other countries and ask."

He said this nonchalantly. Anyway, the compensation had been settled, and now all that was left was to trade for food and fodder.

Now he can guarantee that there are not many countries that can provide so much food and fodder, and even if there are countries that can sell it to them, the price will definitely be more than twice the price.

How could the envoys not know this? They had asked other neighboring countries before, and they were told that either they did not have enough food to eat or the prices were too high.

Otherwise, they would never take the risk to attack Da Xia, a country with relatively weak national strength.

"Can't it be less?"

Xu Li put down his teacup and said, "We still want to cooperate with you for a long time, so we didn't raise the price too high. Besides, I'm afraid there's no one else who can sell you food and fodder except us."

The envoys had no choice but to compromise. If they were to exchange cattle, sheep and horses, it might not be realistic. Since they could now buy them with money, they would naturally be the best choice.

Qingfeng and his team had already started writing the agreement. The envoys from these tribes left only after both parties had signed the agreement and determined the delivery time.

When they left the yamen, they saw a huge crowd of people queuing up and thought something big had happened.

Someone who knew the Daxia language read the notice and said, "We are going to build a city in the northwest?"

When the envoy heard this, his face became even uglier and he walked out of the city without looking back.

Xiao Chiye asked the yamen runner what happened and stopped asking questions.

The things they are delivering here will take a few days to arrive, so they are not in a hurry.

I walked towards the backyard, wanting to see what to do next.

Xia Wanniang exchanged a lot of city structure drawings from the space and was ready to choose a blueprint to build. Now she couldn't find a craftsman. Even if she found him, it would take a long time to complete it. She didn't have that much time to wait.

She had no choice but to find another way, which was to exchange drawings from the exchange space.

These drawings are all in good condition, very clearly written, and the dimensions etc. are clearly marked.

She found the text translator in the exchange space again. Why didn't she think of searching for such a thing before? She even translated a lot of it by hand foolishly.

I feel pretty stupid when I think about it, but luckily there is still a chance to make amends.

She put the drawing into the translator to scan it, and soon the same drawing appeared, except that the text on it was changed to Daxia's text.

Looking at the drawings that were perfectly translated one to one, she once again marveled at the advancement of technology.

Aunt Xiao looked at the blueprint she took out and shook her head apologetically: "Mrs. Wan, I really can't help you with this. You can only ask Sanlang and the others."

"What do you want to ask us?" The three of them just walked in at this time.

Xia Wanniang waved to the three people and said, "You've come just in time. Let's see which blueprint we should choose to build the city. Once we've chosen one, we'll start the work and try to finish it as soon as possible."
