From a strategic point of view, it is best to build the city on a defensive line. Because it is the narrowest part of the entire passage, not to mention the construction of a city, it is a high wall, which can play a very big role.

But from a geographical and practical point of view. It's not a good place to build a city.

The first is that almost all of them are hills, and there is little flat land, and after the city is built, it is difficult to use it again except for military value. Lin Ji felt that for a deer with only tens of thousands of people, there was no need to invest such a big cost.

Second, the area is relatively narrow, and it will be difficult to expand capacity in the future. With a small town in hand and a full range of resources, as long as there are no accidents, the population of the surrounding area may double in ten years. Twenty or thirty years from now, the size of the population is difficult to estimate. The newly built city does not reserve space for expansion, and Lin Rui feels that it is inappropriate.

The third is the personal reason of the forest traces. In the swampy position upstream of the defensive line, hundreds of corpses sink every year. Once the city is built, most people will inevitably have to drink water from the creek. Lin Ji couldn't accept it psychologically.

After walking back and forth on the passage several times, the final location chosen by Lin Rui to build the city was the south side of the passage, close to the location where Human spent the winter.

It was seven or eight kilometers wide from east to west, and a city was built, and some fortresses were built outside the city, which was enough to control the entire passage.

The river that flows into Lake Gou from the southwest also passes through this side. The river has plenty of water, and although it flows through the area and becomes a wide beach, it should be navigable and water supply with a little repair.

Because of the river, the perennial fires on the channel did not cross the river, and the dense forest was on the other side of the river. This also makes it easier to get timber in the city. After all, in this era, there is no way to live without firewood and charcoal.

The site was chosen, the forest site made some planning, and then led people to start digging and building a wall.

Lin Ruins intends to build a large city with a side length of four kilometers. After the walls were built, the inner houses and streets were slowly built. In the plan, Lin Ji decided to build the wall to be six meters high and two meters wide. The east side is close to the lake, and the other three sides dig a moat.

After the plan was made, Lin Ji first briefed Ji Lin's leaders about the situation. Most of the things they don't really understand. But when they heard Lin Ji say that with the current manpower, it may take two years to build a city wall, and it will take more than five years to build the entire city, many people are still dumbfounded.

"Five years?" Many people feel that life is sad.

Now everyone starts at 7 a.m., starts working or training at 8 a.m., and ends at 6 p.m. The leaders are not finished after work, they still have to follow Lin Ji or others for two hours of class, and there is a meeting after the end, which usually ends at ten o'clock.

Lin Ji has also been quite generous during this time, and from time to time he has made some good things to reward these hard-working leaders.

But the thought of such a day will be five years away...... They suddenly felt that there was nothing to love. Who of these people did such a hard thing more than a year ago?

"Let me go back to the tribe."

"I'd rather hunt."

"Let me go to the mine instead of Yimu or Honan."

Under the pottery whale oil lamp, Lin Ji watched these people complain, and waited for a long time for them to finish complaining, before he smiled and said, "If you don't want to do it, you can go back." The premise is that you have to give me back what you took, and not to go back to be a centurion, but to mine under the hands of Yimu. Come on, hand back the sunglasses first, I'll make arrangements now. ”

The meeting was attended by the centurions of the current army and the leaders of various construction sites.

Circling around the firelight, the first one is naturally Broken Slaughter. Next to Po Tu is the wolf.

Fu Wolf, the new commander, is half of Ji Lin's person. But when he first accepted this organizational method and Ji Lin's training and command methods, he was basically in a state of confusion. A lot of things are still breaking to help him. He can only study hard now in hopes of keeping up with the others.

Next to the wolf, there is a yellow leopard who has taken revenge. Next to it, there is the tail of the yellow leopard from the same tribe as the yellow leopard.

The yellow leopard is the leader of their original tribe and is quite responsible. The yellow leopard's tail has risen in the past year. In addition to his bravery, this man has a very good brain. He is now one of the few people in the tribe who can know hundreds of words, and can count several digits of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Yellow Leopard Tail is also a teacher here now, responsible for teaching the Ten Captains in the evenings.

Next to it is Bian Qing from the Li bream tribe. He was depressed for a while after the Libi was destroyed. Later, I started to work hard. Before the autumn last year, I became close to Caiyu. Later, because of the teaching of Caiyu, I was able to read a lot of words and memorize multiplication formulas. Coupled with his strong strength, he was promoted to centurion at this time.

Lin Miao'er next to Bian Qing is currently the only female leader here. She is the most proficient woman in the tribe except Qiao Huan, and she is also more savvy about farming. Before the autumn harvest last year, when Lin Ji absorbed the savages, he gave them surnames and said, "The tribe is named Ji Lin, and the people of the tribe can be surnamed Ji or Lin." She is not Da Ji's daughter, so she is very dogged and makes herself surnamed Lin like Lin Ji, and because she is good at farming, she simply changed her name to Lin Miaoer.

Now, Qiao Huan stayed in Jilin to preside over farming, and she was brought over by Lin Ji to be responsible for farming, vegetable planting, and logistics here. The position is the same as that of a centurion.

Next to Lin Miao'er was Youyan, the person in charge of the tribe's bow and arrow workshop. He used to have diarrhea problems, but after a year of recuperation, he has basically recovered now. Here he was responsible for managing carpenters, wheels, shipbuilding, etc.

Next to it is the big arm, who is responsible for burning pottery, charcoal, bricks, tiles, lime, and so on.

The next few are called chrysanthemums, money and noodles, and they will wait horizontally. These are all the ten-captains of the original tribe, and they were only recently brought up. Qian Mian is still a savage born in mining. Because he behaved well when he was able to hunt, he became a ten-captain. Later, he performed well again in the winter when recruiting people, and now he has been promoted to centurion.

Coming around from the opposite side, there were nine barbarian guards led by Broken Teeth. After half a year of teaching by Ji Lin, these people are now familiar with becoming centurions. And because he has seen people and is good at communication, he has become quite respected among the tiger barbarians.

The best of them is named Yuan Xiao, a guy with a round head and a smile on his face. Recently, it was hot, and the people of Ji Lin began to cut their hair. He learned the way to cut his head in the woods, and almost cut his bald head. With a smiling face, it looks the same as Maitreya Buddha, quite happy.

These people, together with the hair arc left in the tribe, Qiao Huan, Yimu, Huo Nan, Ying, Zhonggu, Shouli, Caiyu, etc., and Shenglan, Zhu Monkey, Stone Beak, Cao San, etc., who are hundreds of miles away, are almost all the team of the forest traces now.

Of course, that's half of that.

If these people do not agree to build a city, or do not recognize the benefits of building a city, it will be difficult to carry out the plan of building a city.
