The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 23 There is a cave in the mountain of Lixin City
On the third day, Li Huzi's messenger came to report that the two armies had breached Fuhu Village and Heishui Village.

Lin Yifan was very happy to hear that, so he inquired about the battle history of the two armies in detail.I didn't want to, but I became interested in one of the messages, "Wait, you said just now that the Black Water Village is not on a mountain, but in a flat and narrow valley, with a black water flowing beside it, right?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment, and seeing the adults staring at him closely, he quickly recalled: "My lord, I'm sure that's the case, what's the problem?"

"Quickly, tell me about the location of the Black Water Village and the surrounding geographical environment?" Lin Yifan excitedly grabbed the messenger's shoulder and urged excitedly, because he vaguely felt that the Black Water Village was not simple.

"Yes, my lord." The messenger didn't dare to break Lin Yifan's hands, so he had to say quickly, "Heishui village is about fifty miles away from Tongshan, to the northwest, where there is a Heishui River flowing from southwest to northeast into the Hun River in the grassland. Heishui The village is located at the inflection point of the Heishui River to the north, where there is a flat and wide valley alluvial by the river, about twenty miles long from east to west, and five miles wide from north to south. My lord, that's it."

"Okay, okay, you're good, there's a reward! Go to the warehouse to get five taels of silver, and just say I said it." Once Lin Yifan was happy, he immediately became generous and said boldly.

"Ah! Thank you, sir, thank you!" The messenger was stunned for a moment, and immediately thanked him happily, then turned around and ran to the warehouse.

"Haha, I'm so lucky that Xincheng has settled down. No, I have to rush over to have a look. Mr. Chen, sir, where are you?" He went to Heishui Village to investigate together.

The next day, Lin Yifan brought Chen Dengke and others to Heishui Village. At this time, there was a team of 50 people stationed in Heishui Village. The captain was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.After asking his name, he knew that his name was Zhang Qian, the young master of a cottage, and he was ordered to guard the stolen goods here.

Lin Yifan entered the cottage to rest for a while, then called Zhang Qian and asked him to accompany him and Chen Dengke to inspect the terrain nearby.Zhang Qian said quickly after hearing the words: "My lord, I know that there is a place where you can look down from the heights and see the scenery of this place."

Lin Yifan looked at him curiously, "Oh, it seems that you have already visited it, what do you think of it?"

"My lord, this subordinate feels that this place is a blessed place." Zhang Qian thought for a while, then said with certainty.

"Blessed land and caves? I don't know why Captain Zhang thinks this way?" Lin Yifan became even more curious. Although the scenery here is beautiful and the air is fresh, but it is said to be a blessed place, I'm afraid it is more than a little bit worse.

Seeing that Lin Yifan was interested in what he said, Zhang Qian said, "Sir, let's talk while we go there. As long as you go there and take a look, you will naturally understand what I said."

"Okay, after you say that, I want to see it sooner. Let's go, tell me!"

"Yes, my lord, Heishui Village is located in the Heishui River, surrounded by mountains on all sides. However, this place was washed out by the river to create a flat land with a radius of several tens of miles. The land is fertile and very suitable for growing crops. Moreover, there are high mountains and dangerous peaks in the north and south of this place, ** It is difficult to jump, and although the east and west have many mountains, there is a mountain road that can be entered and exited without hindrance. Just imagine, my lord, if a city is built here, tens of thousands of people can be supported by relying on the field resources here. Moreover, it is also easy to defend. To defend a difficult-to-attack place, as long as you set up walls at the east and west passes, you will not be able to break through with ten times as many troops. Therefore, I say, this place is a blessed place."

"Well said, I didn't expect that there are talents in this team. Zhang Qian, I heard you speak clearly, are you a scholar?" Lin Yifan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he was worrying about talents, so God really got him a talent.

"This?" Zhang Qian blushed slightly, and said Nuo Nuo: "This subordinate has studied for several years, but he hasn't even passed the child's exam, so he is not considered a scholar."

"It's okay, heroes don't ask where they come from, and ambition doesn't depend on age, as long as you work hard, you will surely succeed." Lin Yifan reassured.

"Thank you for your praise, my lord, we are almost there, on the cliff ahead."

Soon, everyone boarded the cliff, and from here, the valley below was unobstructed.I saw the gentle Heishui River flowing from west to east, stretching for more than 45 miles, and suddenly turning, crossing the bottom of two high valleys and passing north.The slopes on the north and south sides are not very steep, about [-] degrees.There are many cliffs on the east and west sides, and only one of the trails can walk.

The Black Water Village is on the east plain, but there is not much development here, most of the land is covered with lush grass and overgrown with shrubs.

Lin Yifan greedily looked at the land below, and kept churning in his heart, "This is my land, this is my peach garden."

After descending the mountain, Lin Yifan dragged Chen Dengke and Zhang Qian to discuss how to plan and build the city here.

Chen Dengke smiled wryly and said, "My lord, building a city is not so easy. It requires a lot of financial, material and manpower to complete it. With our current situation, it is impossible to build a city immediately."

"I know this too, but the construction of the city is really urgent. God knows when the Golden Werewolf will come over. We need a paradise for refuge. So, think about it, everyone, is there any way to build the city as soon as possible."

"My lord, I think Mr. Chen is right. The city cannot be built in a day. At present, we can move some people over to develop it. As long as there are people, the city can be built slowly." Zhang Qian thought for a while, suggested.

"This method is feasible. I think it can be done like this. As long as they are willing to move here, each person can get five acres of land. I think there should be a lot of people willing to come because of the temptation of land. There will be no harvest, so we recruit workers to build the city. In order to survive, the people can only work as workers to earn money to support their families. In this way, the city will be built quickly, what do you think?"

"My lord, this method is good. It kills two birds with one stone. It's wonderful!" Chen Dengke's eyes lit up, and he praised.

"My lord is wise, and my subordinates admire him." Zhang Qian also quickly complimented him.

"Okay, then it's such a happy decision." Lin Yifan said confidently.

Two days later, Li Hu and Sun San escorted the stolen goods and prisoners to Heishui Village, and they knew the news that Lin Yifan was going to build a city here.The two hurriedly went to see Lin Yifan, and expressed their willingness to transfer all the people from the village to contribute to the construction of the city.The two of them had already figured it out, once the people from their own village came over, they would have five acres of land, and when the city was built, wouldn't the people from the village automatically become city residents?Moreover, because they are the first batch of immigrants, their congenital conditions are better than those of the later immigrants. As long as they are willing to use their brains and endure hardships, they can become the first group of people to get rich.

Not long afterward, the village masters under the two of them also heard the news and immediately rushed into the meeting hall aggressively, arguing to immigrate here.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yifan was overjoyed. How could he not be unwilling? He immediately promised that as long as he wanted to come, he would be able to share the land immediately, and the cost of building the city would be calculated every day. The more he worked, the more he got.

When the village owners heard the news, they immediately sent people to inform the villagers that the land here was rich and the money was coming quickly.The soldiers at the bottom quit, they ran to the door one after another, begging to settle down here.

How could Lin Yifan be like this? Wouldn't that make the other teams feel chilled? Dang even announced that the land has not yet been planned, and it needs to be coordinated before granting the land. Let the soldiers not worry, the best land here will be planned for all officers and soldiers Only then did he persuade the soldiers to leave.

For several days, Lin Yifan and others were rushing to make the field atlas and divide the area.In the past few days, the mountain people began to come in a steady stream, waiting for the government to grant land, and soon gathered nearly a thousand people.

Without delay, Lin Yifan divided the land into Juntian District, Mintian District, and Guantian District, and randomly allocated the land in the Mintian District by drawing lots, and temporarily settled down these people.

These first-arriving civilians lived temporarily in the simple wooden sheds temporarily built by the soldiers, and then began to apply for construction workers, earning a day's living expenses first.

In order to meet the materials needed for the construction of the city and immigration, all the stolen goods were transferred to Heishui Village.The new city is planned to be built in the center of the plain at the bottom of the valley. This place is the widest and the terrain is slightly higher. To the south is the Heishui River passing by the city wall, and water can be diverted around the city if necessary.But now the most important thing to build a city is not the city wall, but the houses.Lin Yifan has already planned four major areas, the residential area is in the west, the commercial area is in the south, the administrative area is in the north, and the artisan area is in the east.At this time, on the construction site in the west, workers are leveling the land and cutting down trees, which is a busy scene.

Standing on that cliff, Lin Yifan looked at the busy crowd below, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems like I'm playing a game!"
