Chapter 194. Bay renovation of the Yuqiao River

With the flow of the Yuqiao River, the light Canadian warships loaded with people and goods were also firmly controlled by the oarsmen, cut through the river like a long shuttle, and after turning a few bays with a slight arc, they came to the hill fort and slowly stopped.

The four-meter-high stone-clad wall was built along the edge of the Yuqiao River and the hill, just connected to the flattened earthen wall of the fort, and at the same time, slaves were mobilized to remove all the narrow zigzag paths behind the back, so that the hill fort and the city wall were perfectly integrated.

The bronze falcon cannon had been folded under the rough wooden roof, and the dents caused by the battle were still clearly visible, caused by the water thieves who used ballistas to fire stone projectiles, and there were still many logs used as supports that had been discounted, and the bare white stubble had not yet had time to be replaced.

For in the past half a month, the laborers, who have been given sufficient respite, will not waste their time on this kind of work, and if you look at the twenty or thirty wooden houses that have risen within the city walls, it is the most important thing to ensure the basic life of the sailors and citizens now.

Even the thousands of water thief slaves are building various facilities and making small changes around the current Cape Town, and the small river bay where Levi and his boat are currently parked is dug up by this group of slaves.

This bay is guided by the flow of the Yuqiao River, and after several old sailors with geological experience identified it, it was planned to start excavating and building, just expanding the Yuqiao River with a width of more than 10 meters, and digging 10 meters on both sides of the river bank with the hills as the reference line.

In this way, a total of 30 meters of river surface was formed, which not only smoothed down the current complex turbulent river, but also gave these light warships a space to dock, especially the dock where the bundled logs were tied up and nailed to the riverbed to be fixed into a zigzag shape, which became the most important transit place for ships on the Yuqiao River.

All kinds of supplies upstream will come to this hill wharf through the Yuqiao River, next to the improvised road and a leveled open warehouse, so that the resources of the two banks of the river can be fully absorbed, and the daily life of Haijiao Town can be maintained.

Of course, this is also for the sake of the future, with the development of Levi, the town of Haijiao, which is on the edge of the sea, can only extend inland, as long as the woods that have grown in the past ten years or so are cut down, and the once flat land, and even the ruins of the farm are hidden in it.

However, the current development is still mainly based on the interior of the city wall, even if twenty or thirty temporary wooden houses have been built, it still seems empty, and even looking at the scale of this primary city fortification, it is completely built in a town of 10,000 people, which is extremely huge.

This made the city defense arranged by Li Wei also a little embarrassing, and he could only focus on arranging sailors to garrison at the four city gates, and the other armed citizens regularly selected 100 people to form ten city wall patrols, so as to avoid foreign enemies from climbing over the city wall and appearing in this cape town, causing some unnecessary losses.

But when they were elected to the patrol, they took their task very seriously, and soon found that Levi had returned with the light Galie warship, and they also beckoned the sailors below to help their beloved King Majesty remove the huge brown bear from the deck.

"Be careful, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

This brown bear is really huge, even this group of Spanish sailors, in the mountains of the Iberian Peninsula where they live, have never seen such a brown bear weighing a ton.

Compared with the traditional bears in Europe, the kind of black bear that is at most only like this brown bear can look as pitiful as a baby, especially when the sailors lift the body of the brown bear together, and you can feel the majesty of this terrifying beast in the forest.

"Look at this slick and shiny fur, God, it's beautiful!"

Many sailors exclaimed, for this stinky brown bear that exuded a foul smell, there was no discomfort in their eyes, only a kind of beautiful appreciation.

As the overlord of the forest, this brown bear also has abundant food, and the effect of nutrition is the quality of fur, and in the eyes of this group of sailors, it has been praised as a variety of products made by craftsmen: "If it can be made into a coat or hat, it must be beautiful!" ”

"Okay, then, you'll be in charge of that."

Walking off the deck, Levi looked at the sailors and citizens who had gathered on the city wall, and also clapped his hands to signal them to hurry up and do their own business, and at the same time told the sailors in charge of stationing: "Be careful lately. ”

"Understood." The faces of those sailors were also slightly stunned, and with Levi's gesture, they also looked in the direction of the inland, and it was still the water flowing from the Yuqiao River, as well as the seemingly calm forest, but their faces were also a little more dignified, because they also saw that the faces of the twenty sailors who followed Levi as guards were also full of seriousness.

They glanced at each other one by one, and they were all slowly vigilant in their hearts about the inland direction, even if they didn't understand the inside story, but considering the previous enemy, the direction of the group of Ketuf River thieves, they also knew that that the enemy was represented over there!

Seeing that these sailors had become serious, Levi walked quickly towards the city gate, the thick wooden gate had been opened, for the sailors and citizens to enter and exit, but the dozen or so sailors stationed near the city gate also looked around cautiously, as long as there was any movement, not only the two thick wooden gates, even the fence gate made of iron would be directly lowered to ensure the safety of the city wall.

After all, inside the city wall is everything in Cape Town at present, even if the enemy destroys all the outside of the city wall, as long as Levi and they can still hold the city wall, then everything still has a chance!

However, with the destruction of the main force of the Ketuv River thieves, the elven fleet does not know when it will come to the North Trumming Sea, and the current Cape Town is not only not threatened by war, but has ushered in a long-lost peace, and in half a month, it is also developing at a very fast speed, benign and efficient.

Walking on the road that had been trampled firmly, Levi also smiled and nodded, because the respectful greetings on both sides were sounding from time to time, as the king of Spain, although he could ignore his own people, he still smiled in response.

This kind of face work is also necessary, although even if he does not smile, these citizens and sailors will always be loyal, but a superior person smiling and nodding to himself is also the greatest encouragement in life, especially his idols and beliefs, and there is a feeling of doing everything for them.

Looking at those eager eyes, Levi also had a smile on his face, just nodding and smiling encouragingly, he could gain the hearts of a group of people who were more and more pious and respectful to him, and it was also something that he had to be proud of after becoming a king.

"No wonder everybody wants to be king."

His heart was also slightly intoxicated, but Levi still corrected his mentality in time, turned his head to look at the simple wooden houses around him, and the sound of beating one after another, although he was called a king in only a small town, but in fact it was a little ridiculous.

This is one of the reasons why Levi didn't want outsiders to know that he was called king.

The mayor of a small town actually calls himself the king, which will make people laugh until their stomachs hurt, especially the group of arrogant nobles in Gray Mist City, Levi doesn't even know what their first reaction is when they know that the lord of Cape Town is called the king by the people.

Presumably, it was not because of the anger of blaspheming the aristocratic class, but because it was incredibly ridiculous, even for ordinary sailors and commoners, hearing the news would make Levi's fame spread throughout the Northern Whistling Sea.

"It's embarrassing to think about." Touching the tip of his nose, Li Wei also shook his head and quickly threw this idea out of his mind, looking at the sheriff's mansion in front of him, he also twisted his neck slightly, he went to inspect early in the morning, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast.

However, this morning's harvest also made Levi a little excited, especially the three free lotteries, which can be said to fill Levi's biggest gap at present, one is food, the second is cash crops, and the third is the recruited troops.

If it weren't for the standby system, the options obtained from these three lottery draws would not be available, and Levi almost wanted to not even eat breakfast, so he quickly used the options obtained by the lottery.

Now for the development of Cape Town, Levi really can't wait, and at the same time, there is a faint sense of oppression in his heart, especially as time passes, the situation is not yet clear, and the main fleet that is approaching in the elven sea area makes Levi's sense of oppression more and more heavy.

The early days of any empire are full of ups and downs, even if it is a modern Spain, Levi does not want to be careless, after all, in the face of a large number of enemies, he does not have an advantage in other aspects except technology.
