After eliminating the orc's broken army, Su Lun returned to Zhenbei City with the army, and by this time the remaining orcs had basically all been evacuated to the northern wasteland, and the kingdom alliance army had pursued the orcs before, and also achieved some results, but the main force of the orcs had retreated.

Su Lun originally wanted to see if there was a chance to leave the high priest of the orcs behind, but now it seems impossible, and when he left, Su Lun also brought those displaced people who had been collected in the wild early by the way, but this time the number of displaced people was much less, adding up to only more than 3,000 people.

It took four days for Su Lun to bring people back to Zhenbei City. At this time, Zhenbei City has become a large construction site, because of the population explosion, Zhenbei City can now be said to be overcrowded, in just two months, Su Lun emigrated more than 100,000 people from the northern provinces.

According to Sulun's drawings, the circumference of the third phase of the city wall of Zhenbei City is fully eight kilometers, and if all are completed, Zhenbei City can easily accommodate more than 100,000 people, even in the entire Florentine Kingdom.

It's not that Suren can't build bigger cities, in fact, with the productivity of the current society, a city of more than 100,000 people needs to be supported by other towns.

After all, there are more people living in the city, more materials are needed, in this era without chemical fertilizers, the output of land is limited, to supply a city of 100,000 people to eat, drink and Lazar, the need for a lot of fields is naturally very much, if the farmland has been expanded outward, it will cause many farmers to live outside the city.

If it is the Kingdom of Florence, this situation is naturally not much of a problem, after all, the land of Florence has been developed for hundreds of years, and the number of kobolds and goblins in the wild is also limited, but Zhenbei City is different, it has only been occupied for more than a year, even if the army of Zhenbei City is constantly patrolling, but every once in a while, various monsters in the wild will still grow.

It wasn't safe for the peasants to live far away from the city, so Suren wasn't ready to build a big city with too many people at the moment. Of course, because of the farmhouse fertilizer and the harvest altar in Zhenbei City, the land yield is very large, and it is not difficult to supply a city of 100,000 people.

However, Suren did not plan to build such a large city directly, he planned to build another city to the west of the northern part of the town. So far, there are three cities in Suren's territory, in addition to Zhenbei City, there are Mirror Lake City and Centaur City, but Mirror Lake City and Centaur City are not very populous.

After several migrations, the number of immigrants in Mirror Lake City has just reached the scale of 10,000, and the number of centaurs in Centaur City is even smaller, only more than 4,000. Su Lun planned to divide the population of this time in addition to leaving 60,000 people in Zhenbei City, 20,000 people in Mirror Lake City, 5,000 in Centaur City, and the remaining 15,000 people in the new city to be built.

More than 20 large and small gathering points have been set up outside the north of the town, each gathering point has 2,000 to 5,000 people, and the number of people is more than 50,000 in total, and these people are being built on the construction site at this time, and the city walls and houses in the third phase of the Zhenbei City project are prioritized, and these must be completed before November.

Because in November, it will start to snow here in Zhenbei City, and if there is no housing by then, these homeless slaves will freeze to death. It's already August, and with only three months to go until November, it's still a lot of pressure to complete the walls and housing in such a short time.

Su Lun's return has not affected the progress of the city's construction, now there are a large number of grassroots officials in Zhenbei City, these trained officials are already competent for their work, as long as the task is assigned, they will work according to the requirements, so although the number of people in Zhenbei City has increased several times, Su Lun needs to deal with fewer things.

In the past, many trivial matters had to be dealt with by Su Lun, but now these people below have been dealt with in an orderly manner, as for corruption, abuse of power, and abuse of power for personal gain, Zhenbei City has not yet appeared.

It's not that the officials of Zhenbei City are ideologically conscious enough, in fact, these people also have their own selfish desires, in order to prevent this situation, Zhenbei City has also set up a special supervision department, in addition to the supervision department, the main willingness is the prison in Zhenbei City.

The prison that Suren spent so much effort to build was surprisingly effective, and after training and educating the grassroots officials, they needed to come to the prison for their last ideological and political lesson. After coming here to experience some special treatment, all the grassroots officials have become respectful and awe-inspiring here, and their work has become diligent, and they dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Moreover, in order to deepen the memory of these grassroots officials, Su Lun stipulated that every six months, all officials must go here to receive ideological and political reeducation, and the effect is still very good from the current point of view. As for the jailers and wardens in the prison, because they work here, the effect here is not valid against them, unless they no longer hold the position of the prison.

Of course, for these prison personnel, there is also a set of monitoring system, Su Lun according to the myths and legends of his previous life, invited the master carver to specially carve two statues of divine beasts, the two statues have no other functions.

Relentless: Lifelike +33, Shocking +34, Indestructible +30, Discerning Loyalty +34, Conscience +32

With the current rulers of these Zhenbei City, it can be said that it has reached a point that even in the previous life has not reached. Of course, Sulun still has a lot of benefits for officials, in addition to the basic salary, there are additional benefits every month, it can be said that the living standards of grassroots officials are still very good.

Su Lun did not calculate the salaries of officials exactly like Zhu Hongwu, and the low salaries made these officials almost unable to support their families. Although Suren does not advocate high salaries, this kind of behavior that allows horses to run and keep them from grazing is also not good. How can there be such a good thing in the world? After all, people like Hai Rui are one of the few in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The welfare of grassroots officials in Zhenbei City is still good, although they cannot be rich and expensive, but they can still do it without worrying about food and clothing. And Suren also promised them that when the school was established in Zhenbei City, their children could go directly to school.

Although Su Lun has less work, but the number of grassroots officials has begun to be in short supply again, Su Lun has no good way now, so he can only select some more displaced slaves, when transporting these people to Zhenbei City, all the displaced people were divided into squads, and some of the grassroots officials were selected among these people.

When they migrated, they did a good job and all of them were promoted to grassroots officials, and then let them study with the previous grassroots officials for a period of time.

With this way of bringing the old with the new, Su Lun quickly cultivated a group of grassroots officials.

The arrival of a large number of people, in addition to making the north of the town crowded, also brought many problems, such as public security, health and other problems, mainly the number of city guards is only 300 people, relying on 300 people to manage this city of 100,000 people, manpower is seriously insufficient.

When the army in Zhenbei City returned, Suren temporarily transferred 1,000 pikemen to serve as security troops, and at the same time, new recruits began to be recruited in the barracks, some of which served as security forces, and some of them joined pikemen and archers.

Suren wants to build a trap camp and a sound shooting battalion, he needs a large number of sharpshooter guards and sharpshooters, and because of the chance of advancement, these two special classes will not be full for a long time.

The height of the city wall of the third phase of the Zhenbei City project is 15 meters, the length is 8 kilometers, the top is 5 meters wide, the bottom is 6.5 meters wide, it can be said that this section of the city wall is the largest building in addition to the wonder building, in order to build this city wall, the town north city used 60,000 people to work, including 30,000 human slaves, and the rest are kobolds, goblins, and jackals.

Sixty thousand people were assigned to an eight-kilometer-long construction site, and the brick kiln factory in Zhenbei City also began to produce masonry in large quantities, because residential houses were also being built, and the use of bricks and stone in Zhenbei City has surged, and there is already a shortage of supply.

Faced with the fact that Suren had the brick kiln factory expand its production and brought back rocks from the quarry, the supply of masonry was still tight, so Suren had to build houses in the same way as before, using mud and thatch to build houses.

Although these houses are not aesthetically pleasing, and the lighting is poor, and they tend to get wet in the rain, they are still very warm, and these houses can only survive the winter and wait until the supply of bricks and stones is sufficient before rebuilding the houses.

The arrival of a large number of people has made the living materials of Zhenbeicheng very tight, there is no shortage of food in Zhenbeicheng, there is enough potatoes, but the supply of meat is tight, and a lot of labor in the human body needs to supplement some meat, Su Lun used a large number of fish instead, and everyone will get a bowl of fish soup every day.

As for beef and mutton, don't think about it, Zhenbei City is now seriously short of beef and mutton, Su Lun has ordered a moratorium on the slaughter of beef and mutton, the cattle and sheep raised by centaurs have not yet been slaughtered, and Su Lun is now buying a large amount of beef and mutton from the caravan.

The soldiers of Zhenbei City are strong, loyal, and disciplined, but they also have the disadvantage of being very meat-consuming. After all, a knight eats at least half a catty of meat a day, and their strong physical fitness requires a lot of meat to provide energy.

The army in Zhenbei City can be said to be all big stomachs, and Su Lun, who sees the meat consumed every day, feels liver pain, and at least dozens of cattle and hundreds of sheep are consumed in a meal, and now there are some farms left in Zhenbei City to breed cattle and sheep.

In terms of meat alone, Suren spends nearly 10,000 gold nars every month.
