Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 1571 Inspecting the Marquis of Shaliu
Tianxuan began on June 20, 6. Accompanied by Liu Qianhui, Qu Mao embarked on an inspection tour of the Marquis of Shaliu.

One is that Qu Mao has not been to the kingdom of Shaliu for too long, and the other is because the kingdom of Shaliu has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year and a half.

Qu Mao has done countless inspections of the Shaliuhou Kingdom. After all, among the five branches of the Emperor Yi's territory, the Shaliuhou Kingdom was the first to be established. In the early days, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui completed all the things established in the early days. .

Moreover, the Marquis of Shaliu is also a channel through which Emperor Yi's territory maintains normal exchanges and trade with the Fulu Empire on the western continent, so it holds a very important position in Qu Mao's mind.

Even after the establishment of the branch territories on the other three continents, Qu Mao spent the most time in the Kingdom of Shaliu every year. No more than two times.

In the past, Qu Mao would inspect the fifteen towns of the Marquis of Shaliu every once in a while, but this time when Qu Mao inspected the towns of the Marquis of Shaliu, his feeling was completely different.

In the past, the fifteen towns in the Kingdom of Shaliu could also be used as resting places in the desert, but whether it was day or night, the best place to hide was in the buildings in the towns. The shelter that towns can provide is nothing more than fresh water The storage point, and can rely on the city wall to avoid the storm in the desert.

Apart from these, it is not much different from camping in the desert.

But this time, every time Qu Mao entered a town, it was like entering an oasis in the desert. There are mischievous fish ripples. If it is not known that this is a town in the hinterland of the desert, who can connect the scene in the town of Shaliuhou Kingdom with the desert separated by the city wall?

Now, including the seven towns that were in the third priority of livable transformation, every town in Shaliu Hou has trees with a height of more than 2 meters, which are trees rather than shrubs or weeds, although these trees are large Most of them are the same species as the old tree beside the Crescent Lake in Yuexia City.

During the early development of Shaliuhou Kingdom, the old tree with luxuriant foliage beside Yueya Spring in Yuexia City was almost bald by the soldiers and civilians of Shaliuhou Kingdom. In the end, Liu Qianhui arranged for soldiers to be on duty 24 hours a day. Only by protecting can it be preserved.

However, the first batch of trees that took branches from the ancient trees on the edge of the Crescent Lake and survived provided a large number of branches for the four towns with the second priority and the seven towns with the third priority. , This has led to the fact that almost every town in the Shaliuhou Kingdom now has the same old tree on the edge of the Crescent Spring.

In the first fifteen towns of the Marquis of Shaliu, the reservoirs excavated in the early days of each town have basically been filled with water, and the average number of trees in each town exceeds fifty. Drawing water from the reservoir, on the other hand, their branches and leaves also shade the hot sun in the desert from scorching the water surface of the reservoir, thus forming a virtuous circle in the towns of Shaliuhou Kingdom.

And at present, in every town in Shaliuhou Kingdom, apart from buildings and roads, there is almost no sandstone directly exposed to the sun, except for buildings and roads, and the rest of the places that can come into contact with the air are basically covered by camel pastures. Therefore, the temperature of each town is about ten degrees lower than that of the desert outside the city walls.

The more Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui inspected, the more excited they became. After all, the achievements of Shaliuhou Kingdom's current livability transformation are almost all due to the sweat of the two of them.

The three towns of Metal City, Minmetals City, and Iron Mine City in Shaliuhou Kingdom were built a little later, and they are far away from other towns. They were originally built based on the location of the metal mines in the desert. Therefore, Qu Mao put these three towns last to inspect.

It is also because after arriving in these three towns, it will be more convenient for Qu Mao to go to the Western Continent to attack the frontline positions.

After several days of sowing camel pasture seeds on the periphery of Yuexia City, Qu Mao began to move towards Metal City, Minmetals City and Iron Ore City.

Although the Gobi Ranch has fully met the needs of herding camels, since Liu Qianhui cherishes the Gobi Ranch so much, Qu Mao naturally hopes that the Gobi Ranch will get better and bigger. During the inspection outside the Yuexia City, Qu Mao did not hesitate to cheat. Ten tons of camel pasture seeds were krypton again in the mall to expand the planting area of ​​desert pasture camel pasture.

After spending a full week in various parts of the Marquis of Shaliu, Qu Mao left for the three towns in the north of the Marquis of Shaliu.

Originally, Qu Mao wanted to go straight to the Asan Empire battlefield on the front line of the Western Continent, but Liu Qianhui asked Qu Mao to take a good look at the three northern towns.

In the area without city wall protection in the middle of the three northern towns, metal mines have been mined, and around the metal mines, there are also metal smelters and steel factories. Since the living traces of the residents of Shaliuhou Kingdom are obvious, this area is also Started to have some vegetation.

Although it will still be harassed by wind and sand from time to time, at least the residents will not be killed because of the wind and sand.

This area, as Liu Qianhui said, is very likely to become the only area on the continent that resembles another modern industrial city in the world.

Even though it has only been a year and a half since Chafidel set up his headquarters in Metal City and began stationing troops outside the city, the changes in this area can be described as earth-shaking.

In addition, Liu Qianhui accompanied Qu Mao to the first Firearms Army desert supply station about 1000 kilometers north of Metal City, where more than 1.5 residents of Shaliuhou Kingdom are building a city wall with a side length of only 15 kilometers. However, it is the first time that a new town has been built outside the [-] towns since the establishment of the Shaliu Marquis branch territory for so long.

Metal City is more than 400 kilometers away from the border of the Third Empire in the desert area and Gobi area. The Firearms Army has set up twelve supply stations, and Liu Qianhui is planning to build all the twelve supply stations. 1.5 km to the square military town.

On June 20th, 6th Tianxuan, after a series of rapid marches, Qu Mao took a quick look at the twelve newly built military towns of the Marquis of Shaliu, and finally arrived at the border town of the Asan Empire on the front line of the Western Continent. Of course, Jab City is now a town in the Western Continent of Emperor Yi's territory.

Zafidel had pushed the army northward for more than 50 kilometers, so the headquarters also moved forward. Qu Mao did not see Zafidel and Zhao Pan in Jab City.

Originally, Qu Mao wanted to go north to search for Chafidel, but was strongly blocked by the officers of the Firearms Army stationed in Jab City. After all, Qu Mao's safety still had to come first.
