Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord.

Niu Ben stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river in front of him. He had set off from Xiyang City for many days, and this time his destination was Mar City, for the implementation of the military port plan.

It was time to start long ago, but the most important thing was missing, that is, cement. I waited for a long time for the fired cement.

The construction of the military port and the garrison at the port are all preparations for the unification of the west in the future. At that time, the military port will be used as the fulcrum to radiate out, and the surrounding area will be the real control area.

Another point is to maintain the safety of Youshui River, which can deter those passing water thieves. After all, the value that Youshui River can create in the future is immeasurable.

The importance of the military port project cannot be overstated in the "[-]", but because of this, Liu Feng had to be cautious, distressed that there was no suitable person to lead the team, and finally decided to let Niu Ben lead the team to supervise.

Niu Ben was originally in charge of internal affairs, so he would be more leisurely, but he is a person who can't be idle, so when Liu Feng found him and explained the situation, he agreed without saying a word.

"Should be arriving in Mar City soon." Niu Ben whispered to himself.

Sure enough, as the ship continued to move forward, a dilapidated port appeared in Niu Ben's eyes.

This port is all made of wood, and some places have begun to rot, especially the part soaked in water. This is considered good in the west, but it is a bit dilapidated compared to Xiyang City.

"You can see how dilapidated this city of Mar is just by looking at the port." Niu Ben said speechlessly.

The port has already become like this, and Viscount Nagini didn't even spend money to rebuild it. No wonder Mar City can't develop, there is also a reason.

At this time, on the edge of the port, Viscount Genie had already brought people to welcome Niu Ben, and after waiting for so long, he finally waited for people from Xiyang City.

"Wow, what a big boat, this is the first time I've seen it."

"This boat is from Xiyang City. I have been to Xiyang City, and it is much more prosperous than our Mar City. If my father didn't want to leave, I would like to move to Xiyang City."

"The city lord of Xiyang City is really a good person. It is because of him that we have jobs..."

"It's better to go to Xiyang City. I heard that the salary there is very high..."

"........."

There were hundreds of people at the port, all of whom were civilians in Mar City, and they were all talking about the appearance of Niu Ben and others.

They were all hired by Viscount Gini to help build the port, and their daily salary was about two copper coins. Of course, the purpose was to quickly build the port. For this reason, he gritted his teeth and called so many people over at once.

"Get to the shore!"

"Anchor, anchor!!"

"Sail down, sail down!!"

The boatman on the boat shouted loudly, the anchor was thrown off the boat and sank into the Youshui River, and the big boat stopped safely at the edge of the port.

"Squeak..."

Niu Ben took the soldiers off the boat, and when he first stepped on the wooden plank of the port, he made a "squeak" sound, which made him deeply doubt whether the port under his feet would collapse at any time.

When more and more people came down, the whole port shook a little, and Niu Ben could only step on the ground faster.

Behind him, workers unloaded sacks of cement packed in sackcloth and piled them on the shore. Soldiers were guarding them and no one was allowed to approach them.

"Finally, people from Xiyang City came." Viscount Genie saw Niu Ben approaching, and rushed to meet him.

"It took a while to prepare the materials, can we start now?" Niu Ben said lightly.

He doesn't like this kind of aristocrats who exploit civilians. If it weren't for the city of Mar, which plays an important role in unifying the west in the future, he wouldn't even set foot here.

"Okay, let's start, they all follow your command." The bald Viscount Genie was stunned, he didn't expect Niu Ben to be so direct.

"Let's start to act, first push down the old port and tear it down." Niu Ben said in a deep voice, directing the civilians to start to act.

"Boss Niu, is the entire port going to be demolished?" Viscount Genie said in amazement. He didn't expect that the entire port would be demolished.

"Yes, a brand new port will be built here. In the future, merchant ships to and from Xiyang City can dock here." Niu Ben responded lightly.

"No, if this port is completely demolished, where will our ship berth?" Viscount Genie was stunned and asked in a daze.

"It may take us a while. Isn't there an open space over there? You can temporarily build a port there." Niu Ben said coldly, pointing to the pile of rocks in front of him.

"This..." Viscount Genie was dumbfounded, and was about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Your port is too small. In the future, we will have too many merchant ships, and there is not enough to park them, so we must rebuild them all. The place here is small, so we can only use it all." Niu Ben said seriously.

"I..." Viscount Genie couldn't express his suffering, and in the end he had to rebuild a port.

Niu Ben glanced coldly at Viscount Genie, and continued, "Let's get started, time is a little tight, and we should finish it before winter."

"..." Viscount Genie really has no choice now, what else can he do if he doesn't build it, he has no right to resist at all, and now he has to build it if he doesn't build it.

He turned his head and gave a few instructions to his subordinates, got into the carriage directly, and returned to the castle, out of sight and out of mind.

3.4 He is still very distressed. It will cost a lot of gold coins to build the simplest port. During this period of time, he made some money because of the textile technology. Now it seems that most of it will be invested in the new port. .

Otherwise, during the period without a port, when other merchants come to Mar City to do business, if there is no port for them to call, I am afraid that they will be lost to other cities directly. You must know that not only their family has linen.

Niu Ben didn't care about Viscount Genie, he still had to be strong outside, lest some people play tricks.

"Remove all the wood and fill this place with stones..."

Niu Ben directed the workers, and the project was proceeding in an orderly manner.
