Start a city building order

Chapter 165 The end is coming
At the Pingcheng Ferry, two iron cables were lowered slowly, and a fleet of ships passed cautiously, with a Li character flag hoisted on the bow, which was a proof of tax payment or tax exemption. attack.

This has become the new rule, and the major business houses are very satisfied with it.

Far away, from the downstream direction, there was another fleet sailing retrograde, rowing very slowly, and it also had a tax payment flag on it, which had stayed at Xingba Port.

The trade on this big river seems to have returned to normal.

Standing on the bow of the boat, you can see that on the south bank of the big river, there are small boats or rafts, which are rowing from the area with slow water flow to the north bank. There are gray-haired old people, thin and sickly middle-aged people on them. , frail and emaciated children, as if fleeing famine.

"Who would have thought that a clan that had been passed down for thousands of years would collapse in just half a month."

On a merchant ship, the shopkeepers of several commercial firms chatted, and they all felt shocking. Now the three states controlled by the Jiangnan Song Clan seem to have become forbidden areas, and countless refugees fled from there. In their narration, some There are countless versions, each of which is like listening to a ghost story.

"I heard that it was the Song Clan who forcibly claimed the title of emperor, angered the gods, and brought down disasters. Alas, this thing is very evil. A few days ago, my relatives in Dengzhou fled to my house. Their family is considered a big family in Dengzhou. A family of dozens of people, hundreds of servants, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and more than [-] courtyards were all given up. When asked why, they only said that the house was haunted by ghosts, and more than a dozen members of the family died in one day."

"No one over the age of 40 survived, and now the survivors are all young people, but they have either become gray-haired or emaciated. When they went to a famous doctor for diagnosis, they only said that their yang energy was insufficient."

"Some people encountered ghosts at night, so many strange things."

"There is nothing worse than the Song Clan. From the main house to the side house, from the main vein to the branches, all the older ones died."

"What is it called Diyao? No, the Bashu Jiang family was also frightened. The head of the family said that he was sick and abdicated overnight, and tossed for several days."

"That's right, in my opinion, the only one who is qualified to be called emperor is the King of Qi, who is Zhengshuo, and he came here to do business. The weather is fine and the sun is shining, and I feel terrified, so this trip is to take over my family and set up a property in Xishan City, this troubled world is not peaceful."

"It's still shopkeeper Liu who sees far. Unfortunately, my family can't come, and there are too many obstacles in the clan. But this matter is really evil. I also think that as long as you are in King Dayan Qi's territory, you can sleep peacefully. If you move to another place, you will only have nightmares this night, I am afraid that other places will repeat the same mistakes of the Song Clan, if you can move here, don't hesitate."

The shopkeepers said so, so there are naturally some people who don’t believe in evil. On the other big boat, there is a young man in brocade clothes. He is young, with Meiji in his left hand and the railing in his right. .

When the ship arrived at Xingba Port and handed in the tax payment order flag, the gentleman in Jinyi actually ordered the ship to anchor on the south bank of the Dahe River. There is also a port here. At first glance, this place is very lively, with fishermen fishing and shops opening businesses. There are also business trips in a hurry, and from time to time there are convoys coming from a distance.

Mr. Jinyi's boat actually had to line up until dusk before it could berth into the port.

As a result, as soon as the sun went down, there was no one in the port. Everyone hid at home, closed the doors and windows, and said nothing. In the county next to the port, there were not even watchmen left.

On the other hand, Xingba Port, which is separated by a river, is brightly lit and full of people's voices in this night, as if there is a world on one side and a world on the other.

"Jie Jie, very popular."

Meiji in the arms of Mr. Jin Yi suddenly sticks out her tongue and swallows the tenants of an inn tens of meters away in an instant, but she still feels unsatisfied.

"Don't make any mistakes. King Dayan Qi has a lot of national luck in his hands. Small households like us can't afford to provoke them. Hurry up and set up a boundary here, collect the debts, and don't wait for the blood here to die." We're all dead, we've run out, we can't complete the mission, it's us who are unlucky."

Young Master Jinyi said calmly, but in fact, his eyes on the north shore were also extremely greedy.

"How long do you think King Yanqi will fall? He is the only historical contractor left by the historical alliance in this world."

"I don't know, but the Great Yan Qi King is Zheng Shuo, and he has the Nine Dao National Fortunes inherited from Dagan, so in this troubled world, refugees from all over the world will come to seek refuge at any cost, and even some big families are here. Migration, as far as I know, the Jiang family in Bashu, the Cui family in Anxi, and the Zhang family in Weicheng have already sent some of their children under the age of ten, and they are also afraid."

"Only under the protection of the Nine Dao Zhengshuo National Fortune is the safest."

"That's why, I said that these days, there are so many merchant ships trading on this big river, so they are not stupid."

"Hey, they are doomed to lose themselves, but they also want to leave some blood descendants. Today's prosperity is just a flashback. Let's go, we have to find a suitable city as a site."

"Can't it be here?"

"No, although the possibility of King Dayan Qi coming over is extremely slim, we still have to guard against it. We are here to collect debts, not to fight. We should pay back the debts as soon as possible. If the monsters in the west become large, we will I can't go away."

Hearing this, Meiji also shuddered, "Those monsters who have lost their conscience! Can King Dayan Qi stop it?"

"Nature is unstoppable, but it can delay us..."

-

Xishan City has really become a city that never sleeps.

Since defeating the Song Clan, nearly 50 people have flocked here in just half a month. Even if Li Si ordered the Six Departments of the Qi Palace to immediately issue more than a dozen targeted laws, such as high transaction taxes, The high land transfer tax, high property tax, etc., are still unstoppable.

However, there is no way to refuse, because so many people mean the influx of a huge amount of gold and silver materials.

"Your Highness, I really can't hold it anymore. As of today, Wenshui County has received 20 people, Qingyuan County has received 15 people, Dashi County has received 20 people, and Luming County has received [-] people." Common people, Lu County has received [-] common people."

"In addition, Xingba Port and Pingcheng Ferry have accepted 50 Song Clan refugees from the south of the Yangtze River. Their conditions are hard to describe. The elderly cannot work, and the young are weak and sick. They can only be raised for nothing when they come here. The people in the Department of Medicine said , the elderly basically have no possibility of being cured, even teenagers and young children, they will not be able to become strong in this lifetime."

In the Lu family compound, the main officials from the six departments of Prince Qi's Mansion were present. Now there is no need to worry about the war with the clans. Several clans, as well as all the families, are fleeing here.

In just half a month, the total population of Li Si's territory exceeded 300 million.

And it will increase in the future.

So far, there have been six small and medium-sized families who voted. They not only brought a lot of money and supplies, but also brought a lot of people. Even if they voluntarily lifted their military power and became a big family, the impact would be extremely powerful. big.

"Your Highness, do you want to occupy Jincheng? It's still deserted up to now."

Sun Jin made a suggestion at this time.

But Li Si shook his head resolutely. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. No matter how many territories there were, the fate of the country couldn't be suppressed.

As for those small and medium-sized aristocratic families who have surrendered, don’t they have national fortune? Yes, but their national fortune is like horse urine in the arid desert. It can keep you alive, but it’s definitely not good to drink.

Even a part of the national fortune in Li Si's hands is a little better than horse urine, which can be called sewage.

The cleanest, purest, spring-like national fortune, only nine o'clock.

That is the nine points of national luck he got at the beginning.

After he put down the city building order before, he has not consumed the nine points of national fortune. At that time, he thought that all national fortunes were the same. When there were other national fortunes in the future, the initial national fortune at nine o'clock would automatically sink to the bottom, and other national fortunes had to be consumed Only the luck of the country can touch them.

But it wasn't until the Song Clan collapsed and the whole world was in chaos that Li Si discovered that the nine points of national destiny were different. This was Zhengshuo, which was inherited (robbed) from the Dagan Empire.

It had a power that he didn't quite understand, a power that was majestic, heavy, clear and pure.

So by analogy, in this world, only he and Xiao Huahua have such great fortune in their hands.

But Xiaohuahua and her subordinates were taken away by a meteorite fifteen days ago.

And that day was the day when the city building order returned to normal and three multiple-choice questions appeared.

When these information are gathered, if Li Si still doesn't understand, then he is really stupid.

"For the foreign people, you can temporarily slow down the entry, you can try to resettle them outside the Great Wall, tell them that this is all temporary, and at the same time provide them with seeds, livestock, and agricultural tools, let them open up wasteland and farm, no matter what, there is food. Eating is the most important thing." Li Si spoke slowly at this moment.

"The reserve of materials needs to be strengthened, but too many people cannot be starved to death."

"In addition, we must increase the intensity of work-for-relief. The Great Wall on the west line can be extended another 50 miles to the west, and a new Great Wall will be built there. You are in charge."

"In the north, with Dashi County and Qingyuan County as the standard, we can push another fifty li to the north and build a city wall. Within this city wall, we can set up two more county towns. Cheng Daniu, you are in charge."

"In the south, along the river bank, relying on Luming Mountain, build a dam Great Wall, Tao Li, you are in charge."

"The Ministry of Industry should come up with a plan to build the Tie Chi Road as soon as possible. By the end of this year, the Tie Chi Road will cover from Yanmen Pass to Xishan City, from Pingcheng Ferry to Xishan City, from Dashi County to Xishan City, from Wenshui County to Xishan City, and from Wenshui County to Xishan City. Xishan City, from Zhulu Pass to Xishan City."

When Li Si said this, he paused deliberately. Tie Chidao was considered a temporary addition to his project, and it was really because too many people came and brought a lot of supplies.That's why it's a luxury.

Trains cannot run on the iron track, but horse-drawn iron carts are absolutely fine, especially since the key technology of bearings has been solved. By then, twenty horses can pull more than one hundred tons of materials, not only loading more, but also running Faster, this will greatly promote a leap in productivity and more effectively promote economic development, otherwise how will we feed the millions of people in the future?

In addition, some key workshops also need to upgrade their technology to digest the talents and technologies brought by the family as quickly as possible.

The last thing is the army. Li Si doesn't know what the future will be like. He can only hope for a strong defense system and a large number of long-range weapons.

Anyway, he didn't expect to win the enemy by fighting in close combat.

In terms of military weapons, the first thing to store is granular gunpowder. Even if it does not need to be strengthened by the National Games, it is still very powerful when used on artillery.

Taking advantage of the abundance of materials now, it is best to store hundreds of thousands of tons.

The second thing to store is stone bombs, which are really high-quality and cheap. Of course, mining in Luming Mountain, Yanhui Mountain, and Futou Mountain has been strictly prohibited. They are all mined outside and shipped back.

Materials including wood and coal are also mined and transported in large quantities from outside.

The last is the heavy crossbow, whether it is an eight-ox crossbow that can only be fired once, or a continuous-fire heavy crossbow that can be fired multiple times, the more the better.

Not only to defend against the ground, but also against the sky.

In short, as long as the enemy's strength does not break through the ceiling of this world, then he can fight.

Well, if he still can't bear it in the end, he can use the recruitment order to leave quickly with his cronies.

"Ding, your main task has been completed. After a comprehensive evaluation, you are the one with the best performance among all the historical contractors. You can become a historical soldier."

"Friendly reminder, please make the following choices within three days."

……

Again.

Li Si was expressionless, now the city building order had given him four choices, but he didn't want to choose any of them.

As for whether there will be any terrible disasters after three days, no, he has tried several times.
