"Heave-ho, heave-ho..."
Loud shouts echoed through the air.
Liu Feng gazed down at the demolition workers below. Houses were being torn down one by one, and useful and useless items were being separated and placed aside.
The demolition process was swift, as most of the houses were made of wood, with some being made of earth walls. It was a rare sight to see over a thousand people working together.
Looking out from the study window, Liu Feng watched the scene unfold like ants moving their nests. Hundreds of people surged forward, and a house was visibly demolished.
"Young Master, at this rate, with the fixed templates, we should be able to complete one-third of the construction before the autumn harvest," Nicole said softly.
"Is there enough steel?" Liu Feng thought of the most important point. If there wasn't enough steel, the houses would be somewhat dangerous.
"According to your design, Young Master, and with urgent production on one side, we should be able to make ends meet," Nicole said, flipping through her notebook.
"That's good. Invest everything except for the necessary reserve."
"Okay."
The two-stony buildings designed by Liu Feng were not entirely made of steel. For example, the second floor used less steel, while the first floor used more for load-bearing purposes.
Such construction would be perfectly fine for thirty or forty years. After all, it was only meant as a transitional solution. In thirty or forty years, he believed that towering buildings of dozens of meters high would spring up everywhere.
"Tell them to add more cement furnaces and keep an eye on them. I don't want the formula to leak out," Liu Feng said in a low voice. "And the steel furnaces, arrest anyone who approaches them."
"My brother has taken the army to train in that area. Anyone who approaches will be captured, and if necessary, they will be shot," Nicole said seriously, her face grave.
Everything was slowly getting on track, and Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, sat back in his chair, and closed his eyes to think. Nicole gently massaged his temples.
"Have those grain merchants been causing any trouble?" Liu Feng suddenly asked.
"No, they've been very quiet," Nicole said, her fingers nimbly kneading. She could sense that the Young Master was a bit tired.
"Hmm, have Noah C keep a close eye on them. If they dare to cause any trouble, have the Longbow Team deal with them," Liu Feng said coldly.
He was not afraid of those grain merchants now. He didn't expect that the recruited hunters would master the recurve bows in just three days. They only lacked team coordination, but killing a few grain merchants wouldn't be a problem.
Twenty hunters equipped with recurve bows were called the Longbow Team, and Noah C was currently the leader.
"Okay," Nicole said, not hesitating. A trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes. The Young Master had too many things to handle, and her abilities were limited, so she could only help with small matters.
"Right, store the wheat that's been transported back discreetly. I want to see if any of those devils and monsters will come out," Liu Feng said.
Liu Feng knew that this would definitely touch upon some people's interests. He didn't mind conducting a purge. West Sun City only needed one voice, and that was his command.
"Hmm, father has already given instructions beforehand," Nicole said gently.
"Huh..."
Unbeknownst to him, Liu Feng fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair.
Nicole held Liu Feng quietly, tilting her head slightly to gaze at his peaceful face, lost in thought.
She recalled the first time she met the Young Master. She was picking wild vegetables in the mountains when she encountered a lone wolf. Just when she thought she was about to die, the Young Master suddenly appeared and drove away the wolf.
Under the clichéd hero-saves-beauty scenario, she stayed at his house for a month. Secretly, Liu Feng often gave her delicious snacks, making the young girl, who was in the throes of puberty, unknowingly fall in love with Liu Feng.
Today, with Mina not around, the girl's courage grew. Looking at Liu Feng's fair and handsome face, she impulsively gave him a light kiss.
"He didn't wake up, right?" Nicole slightly opened one of her tightly closed eyes, carefully observing.
"Huh... he's still asleep."
"I did it. The Young Master's first kiss is mine... My heart is beating so fast, just like what's written in the book."
Nicole thought of a book she had read called "The Love Notes of a Noble Lady".
Her father had brought the book back from the capital for her 15th birthday. Although it was only a dozen pages made of sheepskin scrolls, the love stories recorded in it made her yearn for them.
Today's scene was recorded in the book that Nicole remembered. The heroine also secretly kissed the prince like this.
"Mina probably hasn't kissed the Young Master, right? She shouldn't have."
Nicole muttered to herself, her eyes involuntarily turning to Liu Feng's profile.
"......"
"Great Princess Lucy, thank you for your teachings in the book."
Lucy was the author of "The Love Notes of a Noble Lady". It was said that she was the daughter of the king, a princess.
And Nicole was a fan of Lucy. There were quite a few fans like Nicole, young girls who were in the throes of puberty.
