It is precisely because of these considerations that the construction of Anhua City is not a trivial matter, and the manpower, financial and material resources required are not a few, so it is not a moment and a half, or a few days can be completely determined and completed. Therefore, Yi Xingchen was not in a hurry to deal with this matter for a while, the only thing that he needed to deal with immediately was to solve the problem of food and accommodation for the more than 2,000 people they contained.

Fortunately, there were only two thousand people, which was not a large number, so even if the situation was indeed a little urgent and it was necessary to settle them as much as possible, it would not make Yi Xingchen scramble.

Because, Xinghua Island has purchased about 500 tents in Rénia before, and as long as all these tents are transferred, this problem can be alleviated.

Temporarily solved the problem of food and housing for the remnants of the old country, and the immediate pressure can be eased a little, and next, Yi Xingchen needs to consider increasing the population of Anhua City.

Since Yi Xingchen decided to build a new city, it is very important for a city to have a certain size of population. Especially like Anhua City, which will be a city located in the Western Regions. The Western Regions are not a land of abundance and luxury, and the natural conditions are not as good as the fertile Central Plains, and if there is no certain population support under such background conditions, it will be difficult to develop the economy. If the economy cannot prosper, the military cannot be strong, and the culture cannot be improved, the comprehensive value of this emerging city will not be high, and it will not be attractive enough to attract business travel from all over the world and attract the population of the Western Regions.

Therefore, after the establishment of Anhua City, it is still necessary to vigorously develop the number of people.

Yi Xingchen put forward his own ideas and submitted them to the cabinet for discussion -- Anhua City, where should the population be imported, what systems should be set up, and what measures or means should be adopted? These are all questions that the Xinghua Imperial Cabinet needs to come to a conclusion.

After some discussion, the Imperial Cabinet reported the results of their deliberations to Yi Xingchen: they agreed that Xia would be the most suitable source of population for Anhua City.

This is because at this time, it is the period when a great war broke out between Xinghua and Xia, and the two countries are at war, and the place must be in chaos because of the war, at this time, Xinghua can send people to secretly plunder the population from Xia and send them directly to Anhua City, so that they cannot return to Xia and settle in Anhua City. In addition, there are also some areas where prisoners who have lost their homes due to the war, etc., can also be included in this consideration.

This proposal of the Imperial Cabinet made Yi Xingchen a little surprised! Although among them, Yi Xingchen agreed to accept prisoners of war from all over the country and send them to Anhua City to settle down, what he didn't expect was that the cabinet would be in a hurry and want to snatch the population from Xia Guo. After Yi Xingchen was surprised, he was dissatisfied and vetoed the cabinet's proposal in one bite!

The reason is simple.

In Yi Xingchen's concept of planning and management of the Xinghua Empire, he wants to build the Xinghua Empire into a civilized country, a powerful empire that dominates the Firmament Continent with prestige and righteousness, rather than being ashamed of other countries like some barbarian tribes that have not been developed around the civilization. Therefore, the Xinghua Empire must not do such an unreasonable thing as plundering the population like leaving the country in the east. In other words, it is better for the Xinghua Empire to expand the population of the region by relying on its own prestige and fame to attract people from other places to come and take refuge.

In fact, when the Xinghua Empire and the Xia ** team were at war in the Yunzhou area, the slogan put forward and emphasized was precisely to protect the country and the people, save the people from fire and water, and save people. Therefore, if the Xinghua Empire was in the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and this side had just made a big announcement to the people of the Xia State that the Xinghua Empire respected the people's livelihood and aimed at stabilizing the people's livelihood, but on the other side, it went so far as to rob and destroy the peace and tranquility of the people of the Xia Kingdom, it would definitely lead to the most irreparable result - losing the hearts of the people.

Once the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to recover, that is the situation that Yi Xingchen does not want to see.

Because, from the very beginning, the purpose of Yi Xingchen's army to attack Yunzhou of Xia was not to invade Xia, but to ensure that the interests of the Xinghua Empire would not be damaged. If the Xia Kingdom did not want to harm the interests of the merchants of the Xinghua Empire and rob the Xinghua caravans along the way, how could Yi Xingchen agree to send troops? At least, he would not send troops to attack the cities of other countries when the Xinghua Empire was not strong. This is because, at the same time, multi-front operations and multi-front investment are quite unwise for the development of a country, and that will slow down the process of developing a strong country.

It's just that it was precisely because the Xia Kingdom, like a robber, invaded the Xinghua caravan that made the Xinghua Empire take action. If the Xinghua Empire did the same thing as the Xia Kingdom after this, wouldn't it be a joke?

Therefore, Yi Xingchen naturally resolutely opposed this proposal of the Imperial Cabinet.

The emperor objected, and the cabinet naturally did not continue to discuss the plan to plunder the population in the Xia Kingdom, and immediately abolished this proposal.

Then, the direction of population introduction needs to be changed.

After reconsideration, the cabinet decided that it could consider attracting the population of the Western Regions and the population of the Roman Empire. However, although these two targets were chosen, it was not a smooth plan, because after the completion of Anhua City, there will inevitably be certain risks to attract the population of these two areas.

Among them, the population of the Western Regions is limited, and unlike the prosperous Central Plains, the Western Regions are often vast and sparsely populated, and most of the population has been concentrated in a few limited countries or cities. For example, Lou Lan Country, Xiye Country, Wensu Country, Shanshui Country, Rest Country and so on.

After the rise of Anhua City, if it wants to attract people from these countries, it will inevitably have contradictions with these countries, and this is an inevitable risk.

Based on this consideration, the cabinet believes that in order to develop in the Western Regions, Anhua City needs to adopt the method of long-distance friendship and close attack to avoid being attacked by a group.

Yi Xingchen thought of the Languo Lou Blue City, which was closest to Anhua Mountain. According to the information provided by Wei Siming, the head of the Anhuashan Telegraph Station, Loulan Country has a population of more than 200,000, which is already a country of considerable scale, and Loulan City in Loulan Country is a city with a population of about 100,000, which is a rare city with high walls and a large population in the Western Regions.

If the Xinghua Empire wants to develop in the Western Regions, it will definitely have to fight with Loulan Country if it can't find a way to live in peace in the future.

Yi Xingchen pondered, he was thinking about whether he needed to open the guò space passage, first send a legion to attack the Lou Lan Kingdom, and then Anhua City would be able to develop here without facing the potential threat of the Lou Lan Kingdom to it.

But the reality does not seem to be as ideal as this assumption. Although Yi Xingchen is not afraid of Lou Lan Country, even if he really needs to fight, Yi Xingchen is not unable to deal with it, but the problem is,

The construction of Anhua City has not yet begun, let alone a long time to develop and grow, if it rashly causes war and attacks the Loulan Kingdom before it becomes a reality, it will be ineffective for regional stability, but it will aggravate the chaos. It is possible that trade between the east and the west will be hindered, which will not be of much benefit to Anhua City.

Moreover, the Xinghua Empire is too far away from the Loulan Kingdom, and the distant water has never been able to save the near fire, if it causes war, it may lead to retaliation or harassment by other legion forces, at that time, even if the Xinghua Empire has the heart to rescue Anhua City, I am afraid it is also powerless.

Based on Yi Xingchen's considerations, the cabinet proposed another approach, which was to continue to import population from the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was a slave state, and the Mountain Eagle Task Force became a long-standing special operations force, carrying out activities in the Roman Empire to free slaves. These slaves can then be transformed into the population of Anhua City.

Yi Xingchen thought about it, and the two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Whichever method is used, however, the Xinghua Empire will have to pay attention to the demographics of Anhua City. Attention should also be paid to the issue of population movements. Centralization must be strengthened, otherwise Anhua City, far from the center of the empire, is prone to independent ideas.

Because Anhua City has not yet been built, Yi Xingchen's discussion with the cabinet only formed a text. These texts will become the norms of Anhua City after the establishment of Anhua City.

After the tent, there are a lot of building materials, cement.

Anhua City will be a big city, and the city construction experts will divide it into several steps from a practical point of view.

Anhua City will be divided into two parts, an inner city and an outer city.

In the inner city, you can first build a five-meter-high city wall on all sides, covering an area that is not extensive. This part can be built in a short period of time, and is mainly used to garrison armies and castle guards. Before the outer walls were built, the residents of Anhua City could hide in the inner city to protect themselves in case of danger. For example, if you encounter a pack of wolves or giant beasts, you can hide in the inner city to avoid the risk for a while.

At the Shanying base, Wei Zhouquan announced the resolution of the empire in front of the two thousand fleeing people.

"The Empire will build a city in the Western Regions. You are the first residents of that city, and I sincerely hope that you will have a stable and happy life......"

However, some people questioned this, such as Helem who asked why they didn't go to settle in the Xinghua Empire. He was worried about their safety in the new city.

Wei Zhouquan told them that the Xinghua Empire was too far away, and it was difficult for ordinary humans to walk for too long. Therefore, the empire built a new city in the Western Regions. He also said that the empire would send troops to be stationed in Anhua City to protect their safety.

The empire had made a decision, and Wei Zhouquan and they immediately began to prepare for the relocation.

More than 2,000 people stayed at the Shanying base, and the supply of the Shanying base was more difficult. Wei Zhouquan couldn't help but send them away.

In order to ensure the safety along the way, Wei Zhouquan also sent a letter to Qihada, asking him to bring some team members back to the base to assist the people in transferring the work.

As soon as Qihada came back with the people, Wei Zhouquan gathered and held a meeting.

At the meeting, the three captains and deputy captains determined that Wei Zhouquan would lead a team of more than 200 people to escort 2,000 people to the Anwar telegraph relay station. The other two vice-captains have to prepare the supplies they need along the way.

After careful arrangement, Wei Zhouquan took the people and set off again.

In fact, Wei Zhouquan was not wrong.

The Shanying base cannot provide a large number of transportation, and it is difficult for two thousand civilians to reach the Xinghua Empire safely by walking. In particular, a considerable number of these civilians are elderly and children. Perhaps, they will die of exhaustion before they even make it to Nanyun City.

After more than a month of hard work, Wei Zhouquan and they walked to Anhua Mountain.

"Then over this Anhua Mountain, there is Anhua City behind. Wei Zhouquan followed the information on the imperial telegram and told the people what he knew. Of course, he didn't mention the telegraph station on Anwar Hill, let alone take them up to watch it.

In fact, Wei Zhouquan was looking forward to what kind of city the empire would build in the Western Regions. He looked forward to such a city more than 2,000 people. Because of such a city, the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team is no longer a team without a base camp. Because of such a city, the members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team do not have to stay for three years before they can return to China, and they do not have to stay alone at the Mountain Eagle base all the time. Perhaps, they can go back to Anhua City once every six months to replenish supplies.

In short, Wei Zhouquan is looking forward to Anhua City and hopes that it is a beautiful city.

Three generations of the Beyer family, Heelem, Val, Morat, and their families, are also looking forward to it. The long journey for such a period of time was not only a great test of mental and physical strength due to the fear of the Roman Empire's pursuers, but also exhaustion. The family was already a little tired of continuing to travel, and urgently needed a place to settle down.

At this time, the Bayer family understood why Wei Zhouquan felt that it was a good thing for them for the empire to build a city in the Western Regions.

There are many people who think the same thing as the Bayer family, they ran away to get rid of their status as fugitive slaves, and they don't want to be slaves for generations. They are also in desperate need of a spiritual haven, a home that can truly be accepted by them.

Over the mountain, a towering clock tower appeared in front of them.

"It's a miracle!" exclaimed the old man.

"Is this the city we're going to live in?" said the young people like Shilem in surprise.

"That's a beautiful lake! That's a green meadow!" said the woman.

Wei Zhouquan looked at the newly established Anhua City (mainly the inner city and the clock tower in the center of the inner city. And very happy. At this time, he felt sincere admiration for the emperor in his heart.

Wei Zhouquan took out the walkie-talkie and tried to establish contact with the empire.

After a while, Wei Zhouquan successfully got in touch with the people of the empire.

"Will we send someone to pick you up, are there many elderly and children, how many stretchers do you need?" asked the man on the intercom.

Wei Zhouquan replied: "Don't worry, we can go on." Hot rice and soup are mainly needed, and there is a warm place to sleep. ”

"Don't worry, we've got this qiē ready for you!"

"Let's go down, they're waiting for us. Wei Zhouquan smiled and said to the people around him.

Half an hour later, at the inner gate of Anwar.

"Men and women are to be separated, they have to bathe before they can eat, and they have to divide their tents. ”

"If you are sick, you can go here and see a doctor. ”

"Keep a certain amount of silence so that everyone can drink a bowl of hot soup after bathing. ”

"After bathing, you can register your name and officially join the Xinghua Empire Anhua City. ”

The people of Anhua City had already prepared and began to divert the people according to the prior arrangements and properly resettle the people.

In the bathing room, Shilaum soaked in hot water and washed away the mud, and cried when he saw the white clothes distributed by Anhua City. (To be continued.) )
