Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Thinking of this, Liu Feng looked down at the map and muttered to himself, "It seems that I need to help Tiss's sister. The three principalities in the chaotic land are a ticking time bomb, and someone should be involved."

"Master, do you want to tell Catherine about this?" Mina asked in a low voice.

"Not for now, wait until we win the opponent." Liu Feng shook his head, he didn't mind raising a few idlers.

For example, the fourth prince, Ding Keda, is currently being imprisoned to do handicrafts, using handicraft money in exchange for daily necessities, and some nobles are even thrown into the mining area to mine.

Some people will disappear silently over time.

...

"Second update, (￣▽￣). The third update is being coded."

Chapter 0723 fine-tuning the population distribution.

"Master, are you going to move the city?" Mina looked at the icons drawn on the map in surprise.

"This is a good place to build a city." Liu Feng nodded, looking at the circled points on the map, which are the places where the railway laying route will pass in the future.

If the railway is to be connected to other cities, at least it needs to make a few bends. In the initial stage, it is too wasteful. It is better to relocate several small cities around.

Moreover, the surrounding small urban areas are very barren and not a good place for development.

The urban area in the circle is a place suitable for large-scale grain cultivation, and it will also be an important granary in the future. In a few years, at least it can feed millions of people.

The current population of the Yingluo Kingdom is estimated by Liu Feng to be around ten million. Compared with the huge land of the entire Yingluo Kingdom, it can be said to be very small.

A large granary can feed millions of people, which is enough for Liu Feng to start planning now. The traffic must be smooth, so that it can be transported to the whole country.

"Will the civilians be willing to move there?" Mina hesitated. Building a city requires a large population, and no one can't build a city.

"If there are benefits, there will be people who are willing to move there." Liu Feng plans to slowly attract people over by means of a market.

Moreover, the road he asked to build led to that side. Pedestrians walked this road, and there was no place for people to rest around, so he built a post where people could rest, and then opened up wasteland around it Where there is smoke, people can be attracted to it.

"Shall we start now?" Mina asked.

"No hurry, let's talk about the road first." Liu Feng shook his head, the population is still too small.

The next step of the plan has only just begun. Those nobles have just started to bite the bait, and they are still unsure about them. They can only let go of major reforms after a while.

Moreover, there was too little food, and when it was harvested in autumn, he could use food to attract people to help with the work, just like Xiyang City last fall, when food was used instead of salary.

"Master, Master..."

Suddenly, Anli's yelling came from outside the study.

"Boom!"

The study door was pushed open, and An Li rushed in with a dirty face, holding a bamboo basket in her arms.

"What's wrong?" Liu Feng looked at the rushing Hu Erniang in astonishment.

"Master, more than a thousand catties of potatoes are produced per mu." An Li shouted loudly.

"Uh..." Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized and asked, "Did you dig out the potatoes?"

"For the time being, we have dug about ten acres." An Li put down the bamboo basket, took out two potatoes from it with her left and right hands, and asked, shaking her fox ears, "Master, is this really edible?"

She listened to the young master's order this morning and went out to dig potatoes. She didn't expect that this digging would scare him. Who would believe that after digging ten acres of land, the average yield of potatoes per mu is more than 1,000 catties, which is much more than planting wheat. up.

The output of potatoes, once promoted, means that there is no need to starve to death.

"Of course, you can ask Nicole to make some dishes to try at noon." Liu Feng said softly.

It is expected that an acre of potatoes can weigh about a thousand catties. If it is not for the lack of fertilizers, the yield can still rise.

"Master, when will the second season be planted?" An Li asked anxiously. Digging potatoes can be done in a few days. After planting the second season, you can dig again in autumn.

This year's grain, potatoes alone can survive a good winter, not to mention sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, and corn.

"The potato patch was planted with corn instead of potatoes." Liu Feng shook his head.

The climate in the west is very suitable for growing food. If it is not affected by the cold current in winter, food can even be grown three times a year.

"Huh? Then don't you grow potatoes? The output is so large?" An Li was a little confused.

"Grow it, plant it in another place." Liu Feng said softly, how could he not grow potatoes.

Potatoes are the most important crops he will promote in the future, and nothing can be missed without potatoes.

"Changing the place?" An Li blinked her brown eyes...

"Yes, potatoes can be grown in this area." Liu Feng pointed to the map.

The area he circled just happened to enclose Heishui City, and there happened to be enough water.

"Blackwater City?" An Li looked down at the map and thought for a while, before saying, "Master, so quickly promote potatoes?"

She had thought a lot about it. If the potatoes were leaked out and allowed to be obtained by hostile forces, it would cause them a lot of trouble.

"It's almost there. After the autumn harvest, it will be winter. If others want to plant, they will have to wait until next year. It doesn't matter at that time." Liu Feng said indifferently.

With his current secrecy measures, he is not afraid that the production of potatoes will be leaked. For some people, this is a kind of grain for the time being, and they will not think it is better than wheat.

And by next year, Liu Feng will have the final say on Yingluo Kingdom, and he will take the initiative to promote it by then, and it will take a few years to fully promote it.

"That's right." An Li suddenly realized.

"I will give you a thousand people. The only requirement is to open up wasteland and cultivate land." Liu Feng said seriously. Most of the first batch of potatoes will be kept as seeds, and not all of them will be eaten.

"Is it starting from Moth City?" Enri asked while looking at the map.

"No, Moth City is about ten kilometers away. From this section, the road has been repaired here, and it is just right to build a rest station here." Liu Feng pointed to the map that is tens of thousands away from Xiyang City. meters away.

It happened to be the farthest point where the local soldiers of Xiyang City patrolled. There was no need for Moth City to exist anymore. The place Liu Feng pointed out could form a small town in the future.

And the thousand people who opened up wasteland will also settle there in the future.

What Liu Feng is doing now is to fine-tune the population distribution and redefine the areas where civilians live.

"Understood." Enli nodded half understanding.

...

"Third update, (￣▽￣). Ask for support, the correct code is the fourth update."
