Bird plague? Lin Bei thought about this word, it really felt novel, Wanghai City was probably the only case of seabird disasters in this era.

The forest coverage rate of this era was too high, and no matter whether it was a good year or a disaster outside, the birds could be self-sufficient in the forest, so there would be no bird disaster, and only a seaside city like Wanghai Castle would have this possibility.

Many seabirds are seasonal migrators, moving to warmer areas when it is cold, and there is no doubt that the area around Wanghai City is a warm area, and during this time, fruit trees have been transplanted, forming a huge fruit forest, and now that the rice is ripe again, it is not surprising that seabirds will come, for them, this is food.

In other words, if the environment around Wanghai City is not so good, the seabirds will not pay attention to Wanghai City, which can be regarded as a typical blessing and misfortune, so this bird disaster can be said to be a relatively tall disaster

Just thinking about it, the sky suddenly darkened, Lin Bei raised his head, and a large group of seabirds flew over Wanghai City, saying that there were hundreds of thousands of exaggerated estimates, but there were tens of thousands of seabirds, Lin Bei stood up, saw the birds fly outside the city and landed, ready to settle down in the fruit forest.

"Your Excellency, you see, I remember if this is the third or fourth wave today." An Zhongzhi smiled bitterly: "When the biggest wave flew in at that time, it was dark in Wanghai City. ”

"I want to open a little, I want to see that many of the soldiers in Haihai City are from Orion, anyway, there is no war in the city now, let them go out to shoot seabirds, it is regarded as hunting, if the harvest is abundant, a few days of food will not be worried, this is the meat sent to the door, what are you doing with a sad face? Give them the fruit trees, as long as they look at the grain. ”

An Zhongzhi thought about it, this is also a way out, there are not many bananas on the banana trees this year. Even if the seabirds eat them all, it's nothing.

Someone had already informed Bian Ji, so before Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi came to the door, Bian Ji got the news, greeted him, and met Lin Bei.

"Master, Zhong bluntly said that you were tired yesterday? Is it better now? Lin Bei asked with concern.

"Lord Xie cares. The students are already much better. Bian Ji smiled.

Lin Bei carefully looked at Bian Ji's face, which was not much different from usual, and put a little snack, but still instructed: "Master, you and Zhongzhi are my right-hand men, remember to pay attention to your body, don't be too tired, there are some things that should be done by the people below and let go, the body is important." ”

"Students know." Bian Ji said happily.

"Master, can you ride a bicycle? I asked Chungnao to make another batch of bicycles. The reward is given to the person in charge of the city, and if the master can do it, then go out and ride a bicycle in the future, and ride a bicycle often to exercise. ”

"Students don't, but adults are kind and students will learn."

After the conversation, Lin Bei brought up the matter of cement again: "Master." During this time, I looked at Haicheng thriving. There were more and more steam wagons and steamers, and the roads were not enough, and the forest was flooded with water, which washed away the wooden roads, so I made a new thing, called cement. Prepare to use this cement to build roads. ”

Bian Ji nodded: "My lord, I already know about the cement, but it seems that the craftsmen said that it was not very good after making it?" Can it be used to build roads? ”

An Zhong smiled and said, "Master, when is the thing made by the adults not a divine object?" It's just that we don't know how to use it, and it turns out that this cement needs to be added with sediment. Without adding sediment, the cement is extremely soft, but once the sediment is added, the cement is as hard as steel, which is indeed extraordinary. Subsequently, An Zhongzhi told Bian Ji about the cement again.

"Oh? And such things? My lord is really a god. "Bian Ji is overjoyed.

"This cement is simple and easy to obtain, but it is extremely practical, it is really good to use it to repair the road, I also said bluntly with Zhong, during this time, the cement production is the focus of Wanghai City, be sure to let everyone rush out of a large amount of cement, the road is repaired as much as possible, the road from Linjiang City to the mine is paved with five-zhang cement road, so now our roads have to be this specification."

"Wuzhang?" An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji were very surprised, if the road outside Wanghai City is five zhang wide, then it is okay, and the forest is also paved with five zhang road? Isn't it too extravagant?

"My lord, if the road is paved in the forest, if the water rises heavily, can this cement withstand the flood?" Bian Ji asked.

"Don't worry, if it's just a road, the concrete road won't be washed away by floods like a wooden road." Lin Bei said with confidence: "Building a cement road, conservative estimates, a road can be used for decades." ”

The cement road is mainly used to run steam cars, and the load of steam cars cannot be compared with modern cars, so the wear and tear of the road surface is not large, and the invasion of rain and time is still taken into account for decades, otherwise Lin Bei will say hundreds of years.

"Since you are so confident, let's fix it." Bian Ji just raised his concerns, since he had no worries, Lin Bei's opinion was the biggest.

"Also, pay attention when building roads and make the road surface higher."

Bian Ji nodded: "Your lord's concerns are very thorough, I will know." ”

Lin Bei is afraid that in addition to the big flood season, the Mekong River also has a small flood season, so the road surface is higher, and the road can still be used during the small flood season.

An Zhongzhi asked, "My lord, the Haka tribe should not have been defeated, right?" ”

"Well, I just sent a sergeant to Linjiang City and encountered a flood, so I didn't attack the Haka tribe, and now because of the road, I'm afraid it will be delayed for some time."

"After the road is repaired, it will be the autumn harvest, and I am afraid that I will not be able to send troops at that time." An Zhongzhi said worriedly.

"No, we have to send troops after the road is built, and I want to take down all the indigenous tribes around the Mekong River by May next year." Lin Bei said very resolutely.

"My lord? Why is that? Bian Ji and An Zhong were shocked together, "Is it too rushed?" ”

Lin Bei explained: "I plan to build several important towns between the Mekong River, control the course of the Mekong River, and form a trade road dominated by the Mekong River, radiating the surrounding area, and the Mekong River is turbulent, if you want to build a major town, you have to build a dam in the river to hold back the water, if there are indigenous people to make trouble, the dam is purely delusional, so it is better to conquer all the indigenous tribes before the next year's flood season, and set aside time to build the dam." ”

Seeing An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji's shocked faces, Lin Bei left a moment for the two to digest the information, and then said slowly: "I know there must be some haste, but there are not many warriors in the indigenous tribes who can fight well, as long as we wait for the road to be repaired, this time should be enough." ”

An Zhong raised his fingers: "My lord, let the villain calculate it for the adult, and it will take half a month to build the road, right?" That is the beginning of September, in addition to the Haka tribe, there are nine major tribes and countless small indigenous tribes, if you conquer a large tribe in a month, it will take nine months, and it will take June next year to conquer it, and there can be no other accidents in the meantime. ”

"It only takes a few days to fight a tribe, and most of the time in a month is spent on building roads?"

"My lord, the longer the road, the longer the supply, and the Mekong River doesn't know how far it goes, so my subordinates are really worried."

Lin Bei looked at Bian Ji: "Master, what do you say?" ”

Bian Ji smiled bitterly: "My lord, my subordinates also think it's inappropriate, in addition to the reason that Zhongzhi said, have you ever thought about what to do with those natives after conquering the indigenous tribe?" ”

"Capture and be a slave, of course." Lin Bei said as a matter of course.

"Now I only have more than 50,000 people in Wanghai City, and now there are more than 6,000 slaves, if I arrest those natives, there will be more natives than my Wanghai people, and there will be civil strife at that time, do you think so?"

Although the aborigines work for a long time, but the food is still good, the aborigines are not only not tired to death, but are much stronger, once the aborigines are more than the Wanghai people, as long as there are 30,000 or 40,000 people, then once the incident starts, it is easy to cause the Wanghai chaos, this is the struggle between the oppressive class and the oppressed class, it can not be eliminated at all, and now the aborigines are honest because they can't see the hope of victory.

Lin Bei really hadn't thought about it, as soon as Bian Ji brought it up, Lin Bei suddenly felt that this was really a hidden danger, but now he can't kill the natives, right? Labor is the most precious resource of this era.

Bian Ji continued: "In addition, my lord, we all agree on your plan to build important towns, but after the important towns are built, who should your lord send to manage those towns?" I have a lot of craftsmen and sergeants, but there are few good people. ”

Lin Bei sighed, he really didn't take this into account, now the composition of the Wanghai people is almost 30,000 years ago, the yellow scarves who can be the yellow turbans are not good talents, the early township of more than 20,000 people is also difficult to come, not to mention good talents, there are not a few talents, An Zhongzhi has some management experience, but now the management of a huge Wanghai City is a bit enough, other people are even worse, it is impossible to let Lin Bei rest assured to garrison an important town, and there is a shortage of internal affairs talents.

"Looks like I'm not thinking about it." Lin Bei was a little annoyed, but he could listen to others, so he immediately realized his mistake, and his steps were too big, and it was easy to get the egg.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be annoyed, your lord's ideas are far-reaching, I and Zhongzhi are deeply admired, if you don't succeed in one year, it will take two years, as long as I look at Haicheng together, why worry about this matter?"

"I know that, but if you don't build a dam in the Mekong, then any building will be like a flash in the pan, and the flood will collapse in an instant."

"If the road is not bad, there will be no problem, as long as I wait to control the road in the forest, it makes no difference whether there is a big city or not, and it is not too late to repair the city when I conquer the natives."

"That's all there is to it."

At this moment, Lin Bei misses the talents and population of the Central Plains very much, if there are millions of people in Wanghai City now, then Lin Bei does not have this kind of worry, of course there is no way now, this is the limitation of the times.

If the waterway can be opened, the Mekong River can be brought under the rule and trade with the Central Plains and other countries, the number of people in Wanghai City will definitely grow day by day, but now it is impossible to get through, and it is estimated that it will take a long time for the Wanghai people to give birth by themselves.

"I hope that Zhen Ping can bring back tens of thousands of people to Wanghai City this time, so that Wanghai City can prosper, in addition, how can the population of Wanghai City increase rapidly?" (To be continued......)
