Law of the Devil

Chapter 198 [Man who creates miracles]

Du Wei is full of pride and ambition. After all, as a man, suddenly sitting in a bank in the hands, large territory, thousands of people. The power is in the grip, and there will inevitably be a kind of pride that wants to do a big job.

However, the problems he faces can be quite a lot.

In the financial above, Du Wei is not short of money now, but never sees that there are a lot of places to spend money! Without the blackmail of the South American United Kingdom, it would not be long before the income of the Emperor’s business alone.

The geographical location of the province of Desa is considered to be the most border of the northwestern empire.

The Kilimaro Mountains in the west of Roland is like a natural barrier, so it runs through the mainland from north to south.

This is the western barrier of the empire.

However, in the northwest, there is a small gap in the Kilimaro Mountains.

This gap is the only breakthrough in the Kilimaro Mountains and is known as the “Northwest Corridor”.

This northwest corridor is also the only path for the empire to the northwest desert and grasslands. The entire northwest corridor pierced the Kilimaro Mountains...not a small intestine, but a large gap.

The corridor is dozens of kilometers long, and the widest place is ten miles. The narrowest place is the corridor entrance to the northwest facing the desert. It is also two miles wide.

It can be said that the Kilimaro Mountains blocked most of the wind and sand in the northwest for this continent, and also blocked the aliens on the grassland behind the desert.

And this gap is a strategic place!

When Du Wei came to the world when he was young, he had read some geographical information. At that time, he was very naive that the situation in the northwest was not difficult to solve.

Just in the position of this northwest corridor. Building a city or a large military fortress, stationing some troops all the year round, and firmly controlling the corridor... What are you worried about?

Later, Du Wei understood that his thoughts were too naive!

It is ridiculous to build a wall in this gap, or a city like a military fortress. Because there is a big problem here: water!

People want to drink water, horses must drink water!

The land does not say, even if it is to build a military fortress that can only accommodate 20,000 troops... the daily use of 20,000 people. Where are you coming?

There is no tap water pipe in this world! The northwest is a land of drought, rivers are scarce, and most of the year is dry. Only a little relieved during the rainy season. In most places, only wells can be used for water.

The difficulty is that the Northwest Corridor is a gap in the Kilimaro Mountains! Geologically, there are rock layers below the ground! Not to mention the river, even if you want to drill wells to take groundwater, you can't do it!

If you get a military fortress here. The water of tens of thousands of soldiers can only be transported by horses and horses every day!

People can't drink water one day! Especially in this arid area!

The drinking water of tens of thousands of people is transported by car and horse every day... It is terrible to think about it!

It is impossible at all!

Therefore, the establishment of a defensive military fortress on the Northwest Corridor is simply an empty talk.

The practice of the Empire is. In this corridor, several small-scale checkpoints were established. In this way, once the incident occurs, these checkpoints can serve as a warning. By the way, these checkpoints belong to the northwestern military.

And out of this northwest corridor. Going out is the desert, and after the desert is the grassland interracial.

And going inside... is Du Wei's Desa province!

Du Wei is very clear that the Northwest Army is now in a relationship with the Empire, and that he has just come to the Northwest, and he does not want to count on the checkpoints in the Northwest Corridor to protect himself!

In fact, he has always suspected that the Northwest Army is actually an alien from the grasslands. And the horse thieves in the desert have collusion!

In this way, the province of Desa is almost unreservedly exposed to the minions of hostile forces! Although it was too barren before, both horse thieves and grassland interracial people seem to have little interest in this place.

But now that I am here, I want to do something big. The first one is to solve my own defense problems!

In Du Wei's view, the location of the capital city of Giliar City made him not satisfied. The city is far from the northwest corridor and backed by the mountains. Security is safe. But whether it is a transportation hub or a coverage of the entire province of Desa. They are not enough to serve as the capital of the capital city.

Now that he has given up the maintenance of the city and decided to build a new city, Du Wei has been searching for a long time on the map and finally chose a place.

Loulan!

This name is the same as the legendary city of the Western Region known to Du Wei. But here, differently, Loulan is the name of a lake.

Loulan Lake.

Walking through the northwest corridor to the empire, is facing the main road near the main road. This is a very good place. In the northwest, it is very rare to have such a lake, and the lake area is not small. There is also a snow water replenishing water from the Mount Kilimao.

Many caravans traveling to the northwest will choose to pass by here, supplement the water source of the team in this lake, and then move on.

With water, you don't have to drink some bitter groundwater. According to the knowledge of Du Wei's past life, the groundwater in this area suffers from bitterness, often with some harmful substances.

"We will build the new capital city here!" After Du Wei pointed out the location on the map, everyone in front of the team was frowning.

"Adult." The first thing to open is Philip. This Duwei optimistic future aide has become more and more confident: "Adult, excuse me, if you build a new city, the cost will probably be an astronomical number..."

"The financial side does not have to worry." Du Wei said faintly: "Fortunately, there is nothing missing here, but the stone is the most indispensable. It is not difficult to draw the materials locally. I have calculated that if it is established according to the medium-sized cities in the south, preliminary Estimated, we need about 4 million gold coins, which already includes the immigration cost after the construction. In the ghost place in the northwest, everything is cheap. This is a good place. If it is not financially tight in the northwest, I am afraid I have built a new city here."

"I don't doubt your wealth." Philip shook his head: "Millions of gold coins, I believe that your financial resources can still be borne by adults. But I am worried about a series of problems afterwards..."

Said, Philip stood up and walked to the side of the map, then pointed to the above: "My worry has three points. First, adults can see that this place is a transportation hub, then others can see! Northwest interracial The Northwest Army, they are not stupid! Once they build a new city here, they will be a threat to them. Because the new city along the Loulan Lake will be built, it will give you more control over the northwestern province of Desa...and water. Control! Such a transportation hub, they will not be willing to be firmly grasped by you. Second... adults, we have just come to the northwest, do not have complete control over the administration here, and after the establishment of the new city, the immigration problem It will be a big problem! We are seriously understaffed. Just because of the problem of relocation, we need a large number of officials to work, and we...the most lacking is people now! And the third..."

Philip carefully cautiously said: "Labor problems. Adults!" He sighed: "The population in the northwest is scarce. Our population in Desa is less than 800,000. In my opinion, building such a city requires at least Tens of thousands of workers! Time? The optimistic estimate also takes at least two years to complete. In the northwest, we can collect less labor. If forced to collect, I am afraid... such heavy labor will cause people to change. We have insufficient military power in our hands, only a few thousand people, it is difficult to control the entire province. There are foods... We are not ready to feed the food of tens of thousands of workers, and don't forget that the northwest is a low-yielding area."

Du Wei quietly waited for Philip to finish, and this guy is not angry with Du Wei, who is against his plan. He feels that an excellent aide must think at different angles at any time. What he needs is not the kind of follow-up of a horse.

"There are a lot of problems, Philip, and you are right." Duvi's fingers tapped on the map: "But, if I tell you, I am going to create a miracle?"

Du Weidun looked at the group of his team, including his loyal Robert Knight, General Longbotton, old smoke, and George Bush, plus a few blue sea disciples.

"Three months!" Du Wei said with a smile: "I calculated it. I need about 5,000 people, and 5,000 people will be enough. After three months, you will see a new town in this place!"

Everyone was shocked to say nothing.

Building a new city in three months? It’s just a joke!

“Don't you forget my other identity?” Du Wei smiled. “I am a magician. The magician is often referred to as the ‘miracle.’”
