Chapter 43: The Goddess's Fortress
It's been another morning.
The cool breeze blows from the large open windowsill, slightly warm.
Li Mo was dressed in a simple robe and stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands.
His deep gaze looked at this territory that belonged to him from afar.
Outside the window, there is a wide avenue that stretches to the end of the line of sight. A light rain poured down on the stone-paved pavement, making small splashes.
The culvert hidden deep under the avenue takes away the stagnant water, and the entire perimeter of the avenue looks clean and tidy. Even landscape greenery has been cultivated, waiting to grow into shade.
Although it was raining lightly, a large number of workers were still busy coming and going on both sides of the avenue, carrying materials or pushing tin carts.
Among these workers, there are ordinary but agile monkeys. There are burly, tall, good-looking bison people. There are kobolds with short legs and long hands, and they seem to work hard. There are also human craftsmen from the surrounding areas of Xifeng City, as well as wandering werewolves who have been attracted in.
One after another, neat and orderly buildings, with stone, wood and cement structures, are spread out in rows on both sides of the avenue. Starting from the central area, it is divided into various areas by other avenues that crisscross it.
Some buildings are still under construction, while others have already taken shape.
Since that late-night raid, he took over the Moon Creek mining area, and then after a short month of development, he repelled the first wave of werewolf attacks. Then a large-scale introduction of personnel, after more than two months of rapid development, repelled the second werewolf attack, and the field defense battle was completely victorious.
Until this moment, post-war work continued in an orderly manner.
Li Mo came to this world, and when he calculated the time, it had been one hundred and twenty days.
In the past 100 days, Xijing City has grown from a barren and humble mining area of 60 people to a town that currently accommodates 3,600 people living and working.
At this moment, in Li Mo's hands, there is a rich mine, mined day and night, equipped with ten steam engines and a team of three hundred miners. It produces a series of minerals such as iron, copper, silver, crystal, ruby, and sapphire.
A large plantation that produces turnips, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, potatoes. Thanks to the geonutrients around the marshland, these daily vegetables grow vigorously. In addition, the buffalo people are good at cultivating apples, grapes, sweet potatoes, etc., and there is enough harvest.
The only thing that is lacking is the output of staple foods, whether rice or wheat, which requires more competent farmers and experts to guide development. The area of cultivated land is still being planned and has been put on hold for the time being.
The eastern area of Xijing City has been circled out of planning, and the "Taobao Commerce" square named by Li Mo will be established soon. Materials are in place and construction is currently underway in accordance with the draft.
The "Taobao Commerce", which integrates production and trade, will be vigorously developed as a commercial development zone in Xijingcheng. At present, there is no shortage of workers, but there is a shortage of professionals and traders. Li Mo is still thinking about this issue.
The back end of the town is mining and agriculture, as well as marshland. In the middle is the residential area. The west side is planned as a management area, and a centralized town hall will be established.
At the front end, as well as outside the city, there will be areas for fire protection, security, and policing.
Further outward, there is a separate military camp.
The draft of the plan for the scale of the entire Xijing City of 10,000 people has been formed in Li Mo's mind. If nothing else, he will be deeply involved in the city for the next few years to build a solid starting point.
"Lord Lord......"
Nasus's voice came from behind him, interrupting Li Mo's thoughts.
Li Mo turned around.
In the temporary conference room, the current management team of Xijing City took their seats in turn, and they all set their eyes on Li Mo.
Nasus, who had been appointed by Li Mo as the head of the interior for the "logistics and propaganda" work, stood up, handed over the list that had been made, and said:
"In accordance with your plan and your requirements, we have collectively approved this plan. You see, please give advice. ”
Li Mo nodded, took the list, sat back in the chairman's chair, and began to read it.
On the list are building materials, daily utensils, and the introduction of related personnel that will be purchased in large quantities. In addition, three planning sketches are attached.
The first sketch is a deep black color, like a cold castle. In terms of architectural style, it has a towering, mysterious, eerie Gothic temperament, and low-key luxury.
The second sketch resembles a budding dark red rose, a small manor-like building. There are not many fancy, elegant and deep, like a sleeping underground palace.
The third sketch is much simpler, a small magical building rising from the ground. The top is open to the air, like a stargazing platform, revealing the atmosphere of learning.
Li Mo flicked the list in his hand, looked at the sides of the conference table with a smile, and said, "Have you picked it?"
Kerrigan, Medusa, and Pheasant, the three female vice-gods, sat on the left side of the seat, and on the table in front of them were stacked several books on the architectural style, as well as several architectural atlases.
"No change, sure, Your Highness. Kerrigan saluted slightly.
"I love that rose garden, and I won't change it, Your Highness. Medusa smiled.
"I'm sure, Your Highness. The pheasant smiled and said in a pleasant voice.
Li Mo nodded and said, "Then it's passed! Immediately purchase all materials and start building your independent fortress first!"
The three female deputy gods all showed a happy smile and saluted Li Mo.
In Li Mo's plan, the three female deputy gods will always be independent existences. They will have their own stronghold territory, allowing them to develop their own small forces, study their Force skills, and improve their supernatural qualities.
"Then the next step is to discuss the progress of the research institute and the military academy. Li Mo's fingers tapped on the desktop, "Jiraiya, have you completed your task?"
Jiraiya, who was appointed as the chief alchemist of the research institute and temporarily acted as the dean, bowed down and said, "According to your requirements, we have purchased enough saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. And, stored separately, the highest level of protection. ”
"Very good, after the meeting, I will assist you in the proportioning of gunpowder, as well as the next step of refining and refining. Li Mo nodded, and looked at Orochimaru again, "Orochimaru's mission report." ”
Orochimaru, who was appointed as the chief of staff of the Military Academy, said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Wolf Warrior Independent Battalion has been expanded to three hundred soldiers. The Fighting Ape Independent Battalion is selecting new recruits, and the hoplite 'tank battalion' you proposed is in preparation, but it is ......"
"But what?"
"Those bison people, who seem to be reluctant to work on the plantation, who enlist in the tank battalion, are very scarce and are making poor progress. ”
"Nasus, carry out more propaganda to encourage bison people with good physical fitness, and train recruits to enlist. The plantation work is saturated beyond and does not need so many bison farmers. ”
"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away!"
Nasus quickly got up and agreed.
Li Mo raised a few more questions about the progress of the construction period, and Nasus answered them. Generally speaking, the entire Xijing City is in a thriving stage of development.
What is lacking is talent, talent and talent.
There are many workers and peasants, and there are many skilled craftsmen, but there is a lack of experts in various fields. Nasus was in charge of everything, his energy and knowledge were limited, and he was very busy.
"Well, I'll fix it as soon as possible. Li Mo nodded and looked around, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
All subordinates shook their heads, indicating that there was no agenda for the time being.
"Then dismiss the meeting, and if you don't have a task, help Nasus share the internal affairs. There are tasks to be stepped up, and our goal is to have everything planned in place by the end of winter!"
"Yes!"
After the meeting, Li Mo followed Zi Lai Ye to the research institute established in the underground of the mine.
The first reason why the research institute was established under the mine must be because of secrecy and secrecy, as well as sufficient security. But the biggest reason is because Li Mo is very curious about the underground world.
This large space that can be called an underground kingdom has a lot of mysterious atmosphere that cannot be seen or touched, but seems to exist.
