Lords of War: Sinicized Dragonborn

Chapter 89, North Shore of the Ten Kilometer Bend
After arranging all the affairs of the territory, Li Di, who was ready to prepare, planned to continue to lead the single soldiers of Liyue to step into the secret realm of trials and find his sworn brother Geng Gong.

However, when Li Di led the [-] Peerless Cavalry Army to the trial secret realm and was about to step into it, Li Di was rejected by the trial secret realm.

[Reminder] Lord of War, you have cleared the Trial Secret Realm. After clearing the Trial Secret Realm, you will not be able to re-enter. You can re-enter after changing the leading hero!
I thought I had finally caught a Li Di who would be able to squeeze the wool, but I didn't expect that after passing the customs, he would not be able to enter again...

After getting the bad news that once the trial secret realm is cleared, he will not be able to re-enter. Li Di couldn't help but temporarily change the leading hero, and asked his three heroes to take turns leading the soldiers led by Liyue to enter the trial. Among the secrets.

As for the strategy to test the secret realm, I will tell the Yingjies in detail...

Li Di thought for a while and still didn't make a request, but chose to follow the fate. What kind of harvest he can get from the trial secret realm depends entirely on the performance of the heroes.

This time Yingjie was responsible for leading the team into the trial secret realm. Li Zhi personally sent Li Zhi and seven thousand soldiers into the trial secret realm.

As the chief steward of the territory, he was sent to the secret trial realm for training by himself. Li Di could only turn around and handle various matters of the territory, planning some preparations before the construction of the city.

As the first city of his own power, Emperor Li didn't plan to build it so huge.

However, even the smallest city, with a wall of 200 meters on all sides, will consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Therefore, the first thing Li Di needs to do now is to arrange for the master blacksmith in the blacksmith to lead the apprentices to work hard to produce tools.

As a blacksmith shop that was newly built in the territory, Li Di also knew that with the current blacksmith shop, the soldiers of the territory could not be self-sufficient in weapons.

But making production tools is different. As a production tool, there are basically no strict requirements. The only requirement for a production tool is to be strong and durable.

By forging production tools, firstly, it can accelerate the growth of blacksmith apprentice's blacksmithing experience, and secondly, it can increase the resource collection speed of the territory.

After the territory was upgraded to the ninth level, the area of ​​[-] kilometers allowed Emperor Li to build the city on a plain without using troops.

Fifteen kilometers is not a small distance for Liyueling where most of the citizens still need to walk.

Arrange for the newly married women in the territory to shave half of the sheep in the territory, collect and wash, and weave wool.

Half of them are still collecting vines, weaving baskets and other large containers.

Various production tools such as baskets, poles, shovels and pickaxes, hammers and axes have been arranged by special personnel to be in charge of production.

Li Di also needs to reasonably allocate the population of the territory, collect resources, obtain food, and arrange the preparatory work for the construction of the city.

After all these miscellaneous matters were arranged one by one, the sky in the territory was already dark and bright.

As for Li Di's daytime work today, in addition to going out of the Longyan Pass to inspect suitable sites for building the city, he also needs to guide the people in the territory and make wooden carts.

In addition, Liyueling now has a large number of cattle, and the cart with cattle is a bullock cart that consumes animal power.

A very simple and very popular mobile tool will soon occupy the working life of the residents of Liyue Ling.

In addition to the production plan for the territory, Emperor Li also cast out the longan gate again in the early morning after the Peerless cavalry and bandits who had passed through the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

Today, their job is to clean up all the restless factors in their [-]-kilometer territory that are exposed to the markings on the system map after the area of ​​the territory has expanded and the fog of war has been lifted from the system map.

And all the native barbarian tribes they met were forcibly relocated to the Longan Mountain Col by force, built cities for their own plains, and recruited a lot of cheap labor.

In short, because Liyue Territory suddenly obtained a large amount of material resources, Li Di needed to arrange manpower to transform these resources into the development momentum of the territory as soon as possible.

After Liyueling's various production arrangements were issued, Li Di led the Baiqi Wushuang Cavalry Army and rode out of Liyueling's Longyan Pass, heading east along the Lianglong River to check the landforms suitable for building a city along the way.

Probably because of the loss of the constraints of the cliffs on both sides of the Lianglong Mountains, after the Lianglong River rushed out of the canyon, its flowing posture became more and more unrestrained.

As the distance from Longyan Pass got farther and farther away, Emperor Li clearly noticed that the course of the Lianglong River was getting wider and wider.

The site selection for building a city must be inseparable from the Lianglong River. Human living in groups is a process of chasing water sources.

Being close to the Lianglong River, it can meet the needs of human life, obtain water sources, and provide food sources for most of the population.

As well as Li Di's plan to open up wasteland and reclaim land together with the construction of the city.

The distance limit of fifteen kilometers is a suitable distance for Li Yueling at present.

This distance will not be too far, even if it is walking on foot, it is enough for the residents of the territory to travel between Longyan Pass and the plain city within one day.

Along the Lianglong River, I rode for about ten kilometers on horseback. As far as I saw along the way, as long as it was a plain, it met the conditions for Emperor Li to build a city.

However, after carefully observing the terrain along the way through Fengshui Kanyu, Li Di came to an unfriendly conclusion.

There are many advantages of building a city on a plain, but there are also many disadvantages.

In addition to the difficulty of defending the plains and the need to build a large city wall, there is another major disadvantage, which will face the threat of flood disasters during the rainy season every year.

Just as Li Di traveled all the way, he saw the traces of the dry riverbed of the Lianglong River, which had been diverted several times.

It's spring now, and it's not long before the rainy season in midsummer.

In other words, if Emperor Li intends to build a city on a plain, what he needs to do is not only to arrange manpower and material resources to build the city wall, but also to arrange a large number of manpower to sort out the course of the Lianglong River and build flood control dams...

This is another big project with a huge workload...

However, even though there are so many shortcomings in building a city on a plain, it still cannot change Emperor Li's determination to build a city on a plain, and the important and far-reaching impact that building a city on a plain will have on the development of Li Yueling's power.

After inspecting the [-]-kilometer Lianglong River along the way and the topography along the coast, Emperor Li did not choose to build the city at a distance of [-] kilometers close to the limit of the territory.

The site he chose to build the city on the plain was on the north bank of a river bend ten kilometers away from Longyan Pass.

This is considered to be a part of the [-]-kilometer section of the Lianglong River, where the terrain is higher. It is also because the terrain here is too high that the Lianglong River diverts here and flows from east to south.

And this river bend, which is ten kilometers away from Longyan Pass, is also a more suitable distance for Liyue Territory. It only takes half a day for the residents of the territory to go back and forth between Longyan Pass and the city.

After the location of Pingyuan City was selected, Emperor Li immediately sent half of the Peerless Cavalry back to Liyue Territory to inform the residents in the territory, and escorted the people along the way to this river bend to do the preliminary work of leveling the terrain.

Li Di led the rest of the Peerless Cavalry on horseback, and walked two kilometers north from the river bank. After pulling out a suitable distance from the river, he took out his city building order specially bestowed by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty. use.
