In the corridors of the renovated Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Bari, letters were first delivered to Gottschalke, the overarching priest who roamed there and was in charge of the regional teachings. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This fanatical believer, who joined the peasant crusade with the holy goose during the First Crusade, and later served Gawain at the Hungarian border, was entrusted with the city of Bari, not only in charge of the sacred remains of Nicholas, but also in the management of the brotherhood of the city-state and the general affairs of the Reformers.

After receiving the secret letter, Gottschalke did not dare to slack off, and summoned several dervishes who had sent an envoy to the city of Rome, and after confirming each other, he came to a relatively clear answer, "Obviously, the master of this expedition to Tarsus will be suppressed and calculated. I must give the facts to the court of the capital of the East. ”

While the news was passing through Crete to the port of Tarsus through the messengers of ordinary merchant ships, Gawain, Anna, and many other generals were dredging the inlet of the port of Zephilim during the wet season that was approaching in autumn.

On the hillside overgrown with citrus trees, the little sunfish that had returned to the court of Tarsus had calmed down, and he could stand in the sun, in front of the man Gawain and the woman Anna, and issue instructions for the project.

Looking down from the hillside, the sparkling spout of Nyhavn is the "City of São Paulo", which was renovated on the site of Zephelim. Zephilim, about nine centuries from the city of Tarsus, the location and relationship between the two is similar to that of ancient Ostia and Rome, in the first hundred years Zephilim's harbor was silted up by thick sediment and reeds, resulting in a significant reduction in the throughput of the port, so it is not unreasonable for Gawain to choose to install a military port in Seleucia in the early days, but now it is different - the old term Zephilim is disappearing, and Tarsus is the same, the two are about to merge into a coastal trade, workshop, agriculture and animal husbandry, A new type of city with a variety of functional industries such as fishing, São Paulo.

Now in the eyes of Gawain and Anna, the white "Cleopatra Gate" leads to the huge stone lighthouse, the new entrance to the sea of St. Paul, and the lighthouse is engraved with Jehovah's famous words from the book of Exodus: "Egosumquisum."

That is, "I am my own and forever", which is a sign of the endless wealth of this new city.

The huge wing-like windmill board of the lighthouse churned, sending the sound of cracked silk into the distance, and thousands of Slavic, Adigai, Moorish, and Nubian slave laborers on the plains of the river island below, people of all colors were naked, some marched in a procession holding ceremonial objects and dancing majestically to the beat of the drums, while others lived on both sides of the estuary, densely holding long ropes, shouting slogans and moving forward.

At the end of the rope was tied to the side of two great ships purchased from Amalfi, and in the middle of the two ships was a long, horizontal and long log tied to a noose column, and on both sides of the giant wood were attached sharp jagged iron rakes, under which iron ingots were attached, and sank under the water--when the ships were pulled by the ropes and stepped on the wheels, and moved forward at a constant speed, the power of the ships and the water pulled the huge wooden nail rake, and made a dull murmur like a sea beast, which caused the city dwellers in various tents and stands to exclaim and cheer incessantly-the nail rakes kept turning under the water, raking to cut through large swaths of silt, causing large clumps of red, ochre, and yellow buoys to rise on the surface of the sea, spreading behind the large stern rudder.

"Well, yes, this invention of the little sunfish has greatly saved the time and cost of manual dredging." Under the multicolored fringed umbrella, Gawain sat on a chair and approving.

Agnes in front of her looked back slightly, glaring at this one with a complicated expression.

On the other side, the two great ships had ploughed to the end of the estuary by the cries and exclamations of the two great ships, so the sailors on the deck of the ships pulled the noose with all their might, and then lifted the huge wooden nail rake out of the water, and added a number of iron ingots to the top so that they could sink deeper, and then the drums of the ships were beaten, and the oars and pedals of the water wheels were driven backwards, and they ploughed slowly and heavily in the same direction, so that they could chop up the sediment and silt of the estuary after a few back and forth.

At this moment, Agnes raised a small bunting, and several gunners of the artillery regiment next to her, under the command of honorary officer Nexus, used a bronze cannon with a thick breech, and fired a loud shot, and what flew out was a clay bullet, which quickly disintegrated in the air and disappeared.

But all eyes were drawn to it.

On the hilly slopes of citrus orchards and apple orchards, the former armed regiment of river workers chiseled through the mountains and waters, and connected the Zefelim and Sanus rivers, and built a highland cistern with stones in a large drop between the hills and the estuary, and used a steep diversion channel to reach into the estuary.

With the sound of cannons, the sluice gates on the cistern rumbled down the chute of the diversion canal.

But it wasn't just the rumbling sound, there was also a violent sound that resembled a shower.

It was the sound of a lot of small rubble and the clashing of the trough, which was collected by slave laborers from the mountains, dumped into the cistern in advance, and then used the huge inertia generated by the drop to rush to the mouth of the sea with the torrent in the aqueduct, and washed away all the loose soil at the bottom of the water that had been floated by the huge wooden nail rakes of the big ships!

In this way, the new port of São Paulo will soon be able to enter or moor many huge ships, and there will be no more congestion.

Anna smiled and looked at the several three-masted ships on the sea outside, raised her finger, looking very proud, her eyes looked along the river channel of the estuary in the direction of the new city of Neiri, about a century later, there was a huge lake in the shape of petals dug out by hand, the cross-section of the lake was protected by a wall, which was modeled after the dock structure of ancient Carthage, which could effectively block enemies and storms - in all directions of the lake, there was a covered dock, which brought water into it, allowing ships to sail directly in, Floats on the beams underneath it to carry out maintenance work.

Outside the lake, the waterways cut through the fields and estates, some citrus, some of the cotton, some of the bamboo forests, and the large and small golden snail shell-like rice fields, and the estuary of the sea densely packed with new workshops, in the center of which were wide paved streets, not only linking the court, the new city, and the old city, but also to other cities in all directions, where messengers and caravans were constantly coming.

At the heart of the city, iconic buildings such as Sebastian's Arc de Triomphe, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Santa Barbara's Mint stand tall and eye-catching, "Gawain, I don't want to go to the imperial capital again." A thriving new city brings me more joy. Anna was excited.

"This is not simple, it can be announced that the future empire will implement a 'multi-capital system', with Constantinople as the imperial capital, and Smyrna, Tarsus, and Melitene as the secondary capitals." Gawain was unimpressed by this little conundrum.
