The performance of the Prince Elis of the search and rescue team can be summed up in only one sentence.

"Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out in three years."

To borrow a famous saying, the best time to rebel is always a year ago, followed by now. If the prince was really ambitious, he should have activated it decisively when his father had lived in the palace for a long time and was recuperating in the hospital bed, when the long-term illness made the king have little energy to fight against the prince, and his illness would greatly weaken the authority of the king himself, and at that time, the prince still had a lot of real power.

But he always wanted to achieve his goal without taking any risks, but he would never have imagined that more than three years of waiting would not only consume his father's health, but also all his blood, and the longer he waited, the closer he felt to success, the more he dared not really launch a rebellion. And his father obviously doesn't have so many concerns, as long as he feels that the opportunity is right, he will do it.

In the period after the prince was deposed, there was actually a lot of chance that the rebellion would succeed. Among them, there are several very important success factors - the power and interests of the lords have been impacted by Wu Xiaoqing, the living order of the commoners has been impacted, and the prestige of the two major churches has also been impacted by this new land god.

If the prince had done a good job and acted carefully, and had been able to avoid the search and rescue team's eavesdropping on him, he could still cause a lot of trouble for the rescue operation.

For a long time, the prince has been the focus of the search and rescue team, because in terms of this search and rescue operation, this prince can be said to be the biggest and almost the only loser.

The commoners at least ate bread, the nobles also made money by selling their grain reserves, and only the prince, and the religious forces of the Great Yang Sect behind the prince, were the biggest unstable elements in the entire rescue operation. Therefore, after a few of them took office, the first thing they did was to secretly control all the churches.

The prince does not lack the heart to rebel, what he lacks is only the courage to rebel. Because he did not have this kind of courage and determination, as well as actual organizational skills, even if Duke Anthony agreed to rebel with the prince, the prince would be a nominal king at most after success.

The prince's problem, after solving the Duke of Anthony, basically no need to worry. Comparatively speaking, the huge crowd that is gradually accumulating in the King City of Elis is the point that needs more attention.

Just yesterday, the number of people entering the city has exceeded 10,000. The royal city of Elise is a completely ancient city, with no running water, no sewers, and no high-rise buildings...... The crowd far beyond the city's capacity has paralyzed the functioning of the entire city.

The first is the problem of excrement, although this problem is indecent, but it is true, and now it has become the top priority that Wu Xiaoqing needs to face.

When he first came to this era, Wu Xiaoqing had experienced the problem of "sewage treatment" in the world's cities, and the wanton flow of feces and urine in the city was his deepest first impression of the world's cities.

The royal city of Elise was slightly better than the other cities, and the king arbitrarily ordered everyone not to dump excrement into the streets. The mad king's orders effectively maintained the dignity of the city, and the citizens spontaneously hired dung carriers to transport the manure in the city of Elis, which was already a relatively mature business.

However, when a large number of people began to make strides into the city, this system, which had been working smoothly, soon collapsed.

The main reason is because of the recession of the manure market, because almost all the free people who originally cultivated the land in large numbers around the royal city of Elis have been attracted to the royal city, and the demand for fertilizer is no longer as urgent as before. At the same time that sales have become weak, the cost of production has also started to become high – in terms of raw materials, of course, but the cost of cleaning up manure.

In the past, it might only take two or three days for an average of hundreds of households to transport a truckload of manure out of the city, but now, all the septic tanks in the toilets in the city are almost full all the time, and the huge flow of people is devouring a huge amount of sweet cakes and making a large amount of fertilizer. The original manure transportation system quickly collapsed, and the fertilizer treatment of tens of thousands of people was obviously not something that the original system of hundreds or thousands of people could digest.

So Wu Xiaoqing had to personally organize and recruit a group of people who specialized in transporting dung from the group of people who had just entered the city.

But the job is obviously unappealing to those who can eat bread for free every day, and the fact that carrying manure all day can significantly reduce their appetite – makes it even less cost-effective. In the new dung transportation team, there are people who resign every day and want to go back to continue recruiting, so they can only continue to improve their salaries. Judging from Wu Xiaoqing's recent data, the current salary level of the dung transporters in the royal city of Ilis is almost higher than the salary of the guards.

Although the problem of excrement is troublesome, in the final analysis, it can still be solved with money, and the problem of accommodation is a bit more unsolvable in comparison.

Wu Xiaoqing has now counted that the total number of people in the city of Elis has exceeded 70,000. In modern times, the scale of 70,000 people is not very large, and there may be some towns with large populations, and there are so many in one town. If it is a labor-intensive industrial area, there will be so many people working on a normal basis. But in this day and age, no one could imagine how to govern a city of 70,000 people.

Because almost all of the cities are flat-storey buildings, even if they are nobles, that is, small buildings of two or three floors.

Only the royal palace of King Elise would be built into a four- or five-storey castle for defensive purposes.

The houses themselves have a very limited living area, and it is almost impossible for the houses of the citizens to accommodate more people, so the new bread eaters can only live on the streets.

At night, the streets of the entire royal city of Elise were almost densely packed with people. Fortunately, it's summer, and there is no rain during this time, so it's not a problem, but as more people start to pour into the city, there must be a solution to the problem of housing, or where to stay, otherwise it is likely to cause law and order to get out of control.

The biggest problem caused by the huge density of living is the safety of women, a group of "simple" peasants in the Middle Ages, who are bored and go crazy after eating sweet cakes all day. At this time, there were women sleeping everywhere, defenseless women......

Fortunately, these women are now more vigilant, and they usually sleep and spontaneously arrange people to patrol and guard. According to the suggestion of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing has now begun to consciously set up a division for men and women, with all men in the north of the city and women in the south of the city, separated by a fence in the middle.

In the city, Wu Xiaoqing began to set up a professional demolition team, and many racetracks and gardens that originally belonged to the nobles, as well as the vegetable plots where the citizens grew their own vegetables, were now "expropriated" by Wu Xiaoqing, and arranged people to build many simple sheds in these places.

At the same time, Wu Xiaoqing also planned to set up a temporary military camp outside the city, and set up a cake shed in the military camp during the day to share the pressure in the city. This also has another purpose, so that the soldiers can begin to get used to getting along with civilians on the march, and if there is a problem now, they can also make appropriate adjustments, and when they take more than 100,000 people on the journey in the future, then the problem may be human life.

Finally, there is the issue of drinking water.

The royal city of Elis did not rely on the river, and the original water source mainly relied on well water. However, as the population grew, the well water began to run short. Water levels in many wells are already declining, and according to the experience of city dwellers, it is not the hottest time yet, and there will only be less well water in the future.

In order to solve the water problem, Wu Xiaoqing followed the instructions of the search and rescue team and ran around the city for two days, using glasses everywhere to find nearby underground rivers and possible water storage locations, just like he did when he was in the volcano.

Over the course of two days, the search and rescue team identified the location of 42 wells, each of which had water in place, and the water level was so high that no matter how much they were raised, the water level could not be seen. Because of the matter of digging wells, the matter of Wu Xiaoqing and the "land god", which is vividly spread by everyone, now there are really people who believe that the god that Wu Xiaoqing believes in is in charge of everything on the earth, and even nobles come to the door and want Wu Xiaoqing to go to his territory to investigate the gold and silver veins......

Just the day after Wu Xiaoqing had finished digging the well, he learned from the latest population statistics that the number of people in the entire Elise King City had now exceeded 100,000. Almost the entire kingdom of Elise had already gathered in the royal city, and among the people who went here next, the proportion of healthy men and women in the prime of life began to gradually decrease, and the number of elderly people began to gradually increase. At the same time, the last lord who had come in response to the edict entered the city between sunset and with his army and supplies.

The Imperial Council will be held on the second day, and on the third day, Professor Shen will arrive with supplies from Earth. With just over a week to go before their scheduled departure date – and all that they have done is about to reach the most critical moment.
