There is a proverb in the West that goes well, "Rome was not built in a day!" ”

Of course, (tào) is called "You can't become a fat man by eating in one breath" in the Celestial Empire dialect (poking at the tears, the weight soared during the quarantine, and I couldn't control my own mouth if I was swollen~), the truth is a truth, but obviously the former sounds more stylish.

Thanks to Louis XVI's pertinent advice, Han Xing chose to put his grand plans on the shelf for the time being. First of all, the construction of the Dongcheng business district will be started, after all, the population and economic development are developed on the basis of commerce, right? As long as business is carried out, it will attract merchants to settle in, and when merchants settle in, people will naturally come to settle here for the convenience of life.

For the time being, the buildings in the commercial area are made of wood, the most common material in the surrounding area, and both the Duchy of Hesse and the Duchy of Braunschweig have large areas of forests.

In the past ten days, Han Xing has witnessed the changes in Dongcheng District, and he did not forget to personally supervise the battle, unexpectedly, the emperor's messenger, Horsestephen, was like a dog skin plaster sticking to him at a glance, wherever Han Xing went, he followed, so annoying!

From a lush green field to a city, a little bit of change, the entire Dongcheng District officially operates grain stores, agricultural and sideline product stores, and fruit and vegetable stores. Of course, the store is just a front, and these things are all produced in Han Xing's [Seaside District].

The peddling of guns is only a plan so far, and Han Xing plans to openly sell muskets and artillery here, and under the pretext of low production, it is certain that the odd goods can be lived, and the asking price is high. This can not only give those noble lords a little thought, prevent them from being beaten by the group for eating alone, but also increase a large amount of income, and can also speed up the scientific and technological development of the Western Kingdom, and promote the economic prosperity of Göttingen. It can be described as a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and benefits oneself and others.

Han Xing is certain that with the productivity of his [seaside area], the abundance of grain, vegetables, fruits, (ròu) and animal husbandry products, as well as the relatively low prices, will inevitably attract a large number of merchants to come and do business. And the exclusive trade in gunpowder weapons can attract nobles to come and spend a lot of money, and it is difficult for Göttingen not to prosper!

In just ten days, thanks to the hard work of the Devil Terminators and the joint efforts of Toulon construction experts from the [Waterfront], the new business district of Göttingen Osttown has been completed:

Due to Han Xing's order. Within 200 meters of the riverbank, a large area of green space is left blank, and looking down from the walls of Göttingen, it looks like a belt of jade and jade that meets the turquoise waters. This is planned by Han Xing in advance, a city, greening is very important, not only to improve the quality of the landscape, but also to provide residents with a good place to talk, leisure and entertainment.

Of course, Han Xing also has selfish intentions:

First of all, this place is just used as a riverbank to decorate Göttingen Castle, so that Han Xing can look down from the city wall, which is pleasing to the eye, so as not to be dirty.

Secondly, and for defensive reasons, if Göttingen were to be attacked, if there were too many buildings along the river in the case of the fall of the outer city (qíng), it would inevitably affect the view of the defenders. The role of the riverside landscape belt is once again highlighted, and the riverside landscape belt provides a good view of the Göttingen defenders. At the same time, the support of artillery shelling by the Navy on the river of the Lena is not easily obscured by buildings, if necessary.

Of course, now this riverside landscape is just a green field composed of grass, which is at most used as a picnic place, but as the saying goes, "thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground", it won't be long before Han Xing will have a city with beautiful scenery and a prosperous street market as he imagined!

Just as Han Xing stood on the eastern wall of Göttingen, basking in the bright (rì) light with the wind blowing (chūn) and overlooking the thriving business district below, the construction work in full swing, fantasizing about the city of Göttingen in his grand blueprint. But after hearing (shēn), there was a light cough:

"Ehe~ Lord Duke, I have a little suggestion on the construction of the business district, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?"

Han Xing came back to his senses at this time, and when he looked back, he saw that it was his own court sacrifice, the son of the Archbishop of Münster, Marven, so he smiled and said: "Marven, if you have anything to say, you can speak freely!" After all, Marven is a rare "intellectual" in Han Xing's court, although there are many intellectuals in the [Seaside District], but after all, they are not natives of the Infinite World, and they don't know as much about many things (qíng) as this Marven monk.

"Lord Duke, don't you think there's something missing in the business district?" Brother Marven's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he came to the head of the city and pointed to the road in the Dongcheng business district, which was under construction.

"Looks like there's something missing!" Han Xing nodded, he also felt that the business district seemed to be lacking something, but he was always confused, after all, because of his planning, the most basic things in the medieval city were available, food, clothing, housing and transportation. The two-meter-high wall built of wood, to be honest, was made by removing the branches and leaves of the big tree, sharpening it, allowing the Devil Terminator to stick it into the ground like a green onion, and then fastened it with a rope.

Of course, Han Xing won't open any clothing stores, and few people can afford to buy new clothes these days, usually a piece of clothing is mended and mended, worn and worn, and put in a coffin when dying. Maybe when the business in Göttingen takes off, Han Xing may consider asking a haute couture tailor from the [seaside] to open a high-end fashion shop, but that's another story.

Seeing Han Xing's puzzled and thoughtful expression, Marven felt that the time had come, and was immediately overjoyed, and was about to blurt out to hear Han Xing pat his head and say:

"I know what's missing!" I saw Han Xing's face blaming himself, and then suddenly realized: "How did I forget such an important thing, it's really damned!" Without this building, people's lives and work would not be able to unfold! I am afraid that it will affect the development of the whole society and economy! ”

Marven was overjoyed when he heard this, he always thought that Han Xing was not a devout believer, or or, at least as far as he knew, Han Xing was not interested in building churches and praying sincerely. After all, Han Xing had never asked him for "psychological counseling", let alone a mass. Now that he heard that Han Xing attached so much importance to religion, he was overjoyed.

Just when Brother Marven looked at Han Xing with an expectant look on his face to reveal the answer, Han Xing's next sentence almost shocked him out of his eyes, "Blacksmith shop!" ”

Isn't it a blacksmith's shop? Where can modern life be inseparable from metal products? From knives and forks for eating, to pots and pans, as well as farm tools, all kinds of household tools, and even as small as sewing needles and nails, don't they all have to be beaten by blacksmiths?

"Blacksmith ??????????!!!" As soon as Brother Marven heard the answer revealed by Han Xing, he was stunned, as if he had eaten a fly, his face turned green, and his thoughts were about: "I'll go, boss, you and I are not on the same channel at all!" ”

"Well, Lord Duke, what I'm trying to say is - the church!" Brother Marven held back the deep frustration that came after "playing the harp to the cow" and whispered.

"Church?" Han Xing was first taken aback when he heard this, and then nodded slightly in approval.

Indeed, religion was also an important part of people's lives in the Middle Ages, when entertainment was scarce, and it had many functions such as passing time, social activities, and psychological counseling. And churches are often the most magnificent buildings in a city, which can be described as a beautiful scenery and is naturally indispensable. Besides, the infinite world is still in the Middle Ages, Catholicism is rampant, and a city can't be said without a church!

Besides, the church seems to have both a teleportation point and a safe area, and if Göttingen could have a church, Han Xing wouldn't have to go to Wetzlar to enter the world of qíng! To sum up, in the infinite world, the church is indeed first-class and important!

"That's right, a church, a magnificent church, there's no doubt about it!" Han Xing immediately cleared his throat and said, he didn't want to be condemned as a heretic for "unreligious faith". The surface work that should be done is still to do a good drip~

"Great, Lord Duke!" Brother Marven was overjoyed, as if Han Xing was an iceberg, and now he had finally been moved.

"Blacksmith, priest?" Han Xing thought in his heart, "Where to find it?" There you have it, Wetzlar! ”

Although there are churches in Toulon in the seaside area, the local priests are all French, and no one can speak German, so naturally they can't get Göttingen, not to mention that they are serious black households in the infinite world!

No, Han Xing just wanted to take a look at the (sāo) county, mainly to escort Mrs. Lilith's mother and daughter back, and by the way, to receive the (sāo) count, after the death of the earl, Han Xing just sent Baron Bird to take people to take (sāo) to sit in the town, but now it is just to clean up the mess.

Sitting on the Running Wolf, chopping the waves, Han Xing took Mrs. Lilith's mother and daughter, as well as dozens of Limburg family guards such as Kevin and Dolph, as well as his own guards, and went down the Lena River to Ganquan Village. Li Bai has a poem: "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling one (rì) also", which shows how fast water transportation was in ancient times. In just over an hour, the outline of Ganquan Village once again caught the eyes of Han Xing and his party.

"Mommy, Mommy, we're finally home!" Lady Lilith's daughter, the little girl Livya, jumped up on the bow of the boat, and Lady Lilith smiled with tears in her eyes when she heard this.

"Home?" When Han Xing heard this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were a little wet (rè), and tears rolled in his eyes, "When will I go home!" ”

Especially looking at Lifuya's back, Han Xingbu (jìn) thought of his daughter, Lan Lan. It's not that he doesn't want to go back to them, it's just that in this infinite world, God knows where the way out is! Countless times he dreamed of returning to his small home, his cheeks were wet with tears, but (shēn) for a man, he must be strong, even if there is little hope, he must find a way to go back!!

Now (shēn) is a dignified duke, but Han Xing is embarrassed to stay in Ganquan Village anymore, so he settled Mrs. Lilith's mother and daughter, and rushed towards Wetzlar, accompanied by Mr. Horsestephen, this young man stared at Han Xing like a prisoner, as if he was afraid that Han Xing would run away, so that Han Xing followed closely wherever he went, and Han Xing had no choice but to laugh it off and go with him.

Just when Han Xing entered Wetzlar, he saw a large group of knights in silver helmets and silver armor surrounding him, which startled him, "I'll go, I'm too reckless, I actually fell into the trap!" Could it be that these are the remnants of the party of Count Sāo? ”
