As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Shengfeng but also everyone kneeling on the ground were shocked.
"No, we must not do it! Seven days is too urgent. The number of local people and personnel is limited. If the construction period has to be completed in advance, it will probably make the local people feel embarrassed and have negative consequences."
In Xu Shengfeng's opinion, Zhao Rui is quite transparent.
Although he has an impatient temperament, he is always impatient when it comes to dealing with big and small matters, and he seems not to want to waste any more time.
Despite this, Zhao Rui is very good at handling things.
Building this place into a water city did not happen overnight. Xu Shengfeng was very surprised by Zhao Rui's words.
Xu Shengfeng said this to Zhao Rui in front of everyone. Zhao Rui heard it but didn't seem to take it to heart at all.
"Seven days means seven days. There is nothing like loess in the world. My subjects must not violate my king's orders!"
Xu Shengfeng was already under great pressure, and now Zhao Rui gave him an ultimatum, which must be completed within seven days.
Xu Shengfeng was very excited for a moment.
"You draft an imperial edict for me and pass it on. The central idea is that all the people must help the great merchants to complete the construction period as soon as possible. If they cannot be completed within seven days, they will be killed without mercy."
Zhao Rui said these words in an understatement. In his eyes, these human lives seemed to be no different than a pile of dung.
Zhao Ruidu had already talked to this extent, so Xu Shengfeng naturally did not dare to say anything more and could only do it quickly.
However, Xu Shengfeng felt that Zhao Rui had changed overnight and he was afraid to admit it.
Zhao Rui has never been a perverse and violent leader, Xu Shengfeng knew this well.
However, Zhao Rui kept saying that if the construction period could not be completed within seven days, all the people would be killed without mercy.
The people kneeling on the ground looked at Zhao Rui blankly, and no one dared to say a word.
The arrogant and domineering old man just now raised his head. Zhao Rui turned to look at him and said: "Old man, I am actually very considerate of the difficulties of your people."
"I hope that during your stay in this water village, you and your companions can do your best to serve me, Dashang."
Zhao Rui had already left an extremely horrifying impression on the old man's heart. When the old man listened to Zhao Rui's words, he immediately knelt on the ground with a muffled sound.
"Zhao...His Royal Highness King Zhao! I will definitely obey your words, and I will not dare to disobey you in the slightest."
As the old man expressed his loyalty, everyone kneeling on the ground shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Zhao will live forever!"
Xu Shengfeng, who was sitting far away and writing quickly with a brush in hand, quickly raised his head when he heard the shouts from the crowd.
Seeing Zhao Rui sitting high up, he seemed to have made up his mind to prey on the people here.
Xu Shengfeng shook his head and sighed, and the writing speed of the brush in his hand became faster and faster.
He thought: I don’t know what happened to His Highness, what happened that caused his character to change drastically overnight!
Alas, war is always cruel. Unfortunately, we big businessmen have no choice but to move forward.
