Incheon City

Incheon City has begun to take shape, roughly the same as a small county in the Central Plains.

The walls of the inner city are eight feet high, and the walls of the outer city are five feet high. There are also moats and water from the Zhenfan River. Some wasteland has just been reclaimed outside the city. Not far away is a barren mountain that is being mined. Most of it was cut down, and the fertile plains were exposed.

In the inner city, there are the city lord's mansion, the palace of the royal family, the courtyard of the soldiers, and the arsenal.

In the outer city there are barracks of security forces, women's houses, residential areas, markets, school grounds, squares, and medical clinics.

And on the square, a stone statue of Confucius about [-] feet high was built, which is the tallest building in Incheon City.

The stone statue of Confucius is holding a book of "The Analects of Confucius" in its left hand and a torch in its right hand, looking at the sea and every ship on the sea.

Incheon City has a total population of [-]. In the Wang family, its population is second only to Penglai City.

Penglai City now has a population of [-], and there are countless livestock on the island, which can produce a large amount of supplies every year and transport them to the Wang Family Manor. It is the main wealth production place of the Wang Family.

Incheon City had just been built and had not yet had time to reclaim a large amount of wasteland, so it could not be self-sufficient. Food was transshipped from other areas, mainly from Penglai City.

City Lord's Mansion

"I plan to build sewage channels in the city, and build a public latrine for every [-] households. These public latrines will use the underground sewage channels to lead the excrement and urine out of the city, and build dung brewing workshops outside the city to dispose of these public latrines. The feces and urine are fermented and then used to compost the fields."

"Arrange special manure workers, and sell the fermented manure to tenant farmers at a low price."

"At the same time, special cleaners must be hired to regularly clean the city and clean up the sewage."

"And build public baths so that everyone can take a hot bath."

"Release bounty hunters and encourage the common people to spontaneously form hunting teams to hunt and kill those Beji people, and exchange their heads for five baht."

"Of course, these are things to be done in the future. The top priority now is to reclaim wasteland and solve the problem of self-sufficiency."

Ma Han prefect Wang Fengbang talked eloquently, full of hope for the future, and he wants to build a city that the world desires by himself.

"Our fleet has arrived!"

At this moment, Incheon Cheng came and said to Wang Fengbang.

"Go, go and see!"

Wang Fengbang was very happy. Every time the fleet arrived, it meant that there was a large amount of supplies.

Whether Incheon City, which is currently not self-sufficient, can survive depends entirely on the supplies transported by these fleets.

When I came to the pier, I found that all the unloaded food, seeds, weapons, arrows, salt, sea fish, iron plows and so on.

Instead of the farm cattle he wanted most!

The population in Incheon City is over [-], and there is no shortage for the time being, but now there is a shortage of cattle.

Without cattle, how to reclaim wasteland?
Although manpower can also be used for reclamation, the efficiency is too low.

"Are there no cattle?" Wang Fengbang asked disappointedly.

"Young Master, the adult cattle already have their own jobs, and some cattle on Penglai Island are still too young to be farmed." The soldiers replied.

"Do I have to wait until the cattle on Penglai Island have grown up before starting to reclaim the wasteland?" Wang Fengbang said dissatisfied.

Although the Wang family raised a lot of cattle, the speed of cattle reproduction was far behind the speed of the Wang family's overseas land reclamation, so there was a "cattle shortage".

After the cargo on the ship was unloaded, Wang Fengbang asked by the way: "Why didn't you transport people over this time?"

"The tenant farmers from Luoyueyuan, Taohuayuan, and Nanta have all been transported here. Now we have no direct population in Liaodong." The soldier replied truthfully.

Over the past few years, the remaining 1 people of the Wang family in Liaodong have all been transported to Incheon City, leaving hundreds of thousands of acres of Luoyueyuan uncultivated.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in Incheon for the time being, so there is no need to worry.

Therefore, Wang Fengbang asked his servants to fetch wadding paper, and wrote on the wadding paper: "Please send 1 cattle and [-] iron plows to the family as soon as possible. Incheon City urgently needs iron plows and oxen to cultivate wasteland."

After finishing writing, hand it over to the soldier and ask him to take it back to the manor.

Although Incheon City also bought some cattle from several Mahan tribes allied with it, the amount was too small to meet the huge demand for cattle in Incheon City.

As the soldiers boarded the fleet and left, Wang Fengbang became concerned about the market again.

"Are there any Mahan people coming to sell cattle today?" Wang Fengbang asked the servant in charge of the market.

The Mahan people mentioned here refer to the Mahan people of the four tribes allied with the royal family. Only these Mahan people can trade with the royal family, and the general Mahan people are prohibited from trading, especially those from the Boji Kingdom. The Mahan people, the Wang family resolutely refused to trade with them, and carried out the economic blockade to the end.

"Yes." The servant replied.

Wang Fengbang nodded and came to the market along the way.

I happened to see Mrs. Chen Zhuan coming to sell more than 20 cows. After these Mrs. Chen Zun sold the cows to the Wang family, they continued to buy salt and cloth from the Wang family with the five baht they got from selling the cows.

The Mahan people sold their own raw materials and bought the handicraft products of the Wang family, and the Wang family sold their own handicraft products and bought the raw materials of the Mahan people. Incheon City formed a simple scissors trade.

Moreover, these Mahan tribes allied with the royal family are also doing middleman trade.

After they bought the handicraft products of the Wang family, they resold these products at high prices to the Mahan tribes in the mountains that the Wang family could not reach.

Gradually, the four Mahan tribes allied with the Wang family also tasted the sweetness of this trade, and their strength became stronger, and they valued the trade with the Wang family more and more.

In this case, their alliance with the Wang family is even more unbreakable.

On the contrary, after several consecutive attacks on Incheon City by the Wang family, but were repelled by the city defense system of Incheon City, the Baekje Kingdom wanted to reconcile with the Wang family.

The Wang family did not dare to go deep into the Baekje Kingdom because of insufficient strength, and the Baekje Kingdom did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Incheon City of the Wang family, because they had no siege equipment and had nothing to do with Incheon City.

At present, neither of the two sides can do anything to each other, but it is obvious that Boji is more anxious.

Incheon City can rely on supplies from other islands to persist, and after reclaiming farmland, it can be self-sufficient.

But as for the Boji Kingdom, the surrounding tribes are gradually out of his control, they no longer pay tribute to him, and they are threatening him more and more. If this goes on, the Boji Kingdom will be consumed to death sooner or later thing.

Therefore, a month ago, the Boji Heavenly Lord sent an envoy to express that their Boji Kingdom also wanted to join the "Anti-Boji Mutual Defense Alliance" led by the Wang family

The Boji Kingdom also wants to join the alliance against the Boje Kingdom and oppose the Boje Kingdom together, so that they can trade with the royal family, and then rely on trade as middlemen to exploit the Mahan people living in the mountains.

But this request of Boji State was ruthlessly rejected by Wang Fengbang.

Any Mahan tribe can join the "Anti-Boji Mutual Defense Alliance", but you, the Boji Kingdom, can't!
The other Mahan tribes were used to unite temporarily, and the Boji Kingdom was the first target of the royal family to be completely wiped out.

 Thank you for the reward of 3 starting coins from the leader "Don't Use Qianlong [-]"
