Chapter 13: Quoting scriptures to solve difficulties
"Finally back. ”
After staying in Dawning City for a week, Lin Jue had long wanted to come back. It's not that he's tired, it's that time is pressing, and the colony is currently facing an unknown threat, no matter what, Zhu Huan is right. I don't know if it's useful to build a wall, but it's better than nothing.
There is no way, there is no such thing as a telephone in this world, you can give yourself enough time, make a phone call to explain the task, and you can also appreciate the prosperity of Dawning City, now you can only return to Phoenix City as soon as possible, and personally figure out how to erect a city wall with sufficient defensive power within two months.
At this time, dozens of docks of various sizes had been built on the shores of Phoenix, and several of them had already started to build ships, but they all looked relatively small. Jiang Quan had told him before that these ships should be warships protecting ports near the coast, or merchant ships used for short-distance transportation in the Eastern Continent.
came back with Lin Jue, as well as the second batch of immigrants who had just arrived in Dawning City not long ago, a total of more than 3,000 people, these people were not soldiers, all of them were ordinary people. After all, unless he is really desperate, who is willing to abandon his hometown where his ancestors have lived for generations and come to this deserted place to start a family and start a business? It can be said that Lin Jue has paid a huge price to invite these people to settle in the Eastern Continent.
Unlike the first group of immigrants, who basically came to work as coolies, the second group of immigrants needed to cultivate fields near Phoenix and grow food or economic crops, and in the future, they would not always be able to import these basic materials from the Central Continent every time, and a colony would always need to reach the point of self-sufficiency in order to develop into an independent city.
Lin Jue, who had just returned to Phoenix City, the first thing he did was to convene a meeting of the main persons in charge of the colony, and make a brief report on what he encountered in the City Lord's Mansion of Dawning City this time and the news he got from the forest elves. This meeting was presided over by Lin Jue, and there were not many people who participated in the meeting, including Jiang Quan, Bi Fang, Fenix and Gloria, as well as Gerthia who came to Phoenix with Gloria.
Since Gerhia's purpose in coming to the Eastern Continent was to find her sister, she had already completed her purpose at this time, so she naturally planned to leave with her. Therefore, he ignored Werther's obstruction and ran after him without hesitation.
Witt had no choice, after all, Gerthia was currently the deputy head of the Dragon Mercenary Group, and in order to accommodate Gerthia, Witt arranged a task for her to follow the Mercenary Guild to carry out the business of the Dragon Mercenary Group here and establish a branch of the Dragon Mercenary Group.
After all, the Dragon Mercenary Regiment is an A-level mercenary group, and for such a big matter, they have the right to participate in this meeting, so Gerhiya attended this meeting as the deputy head of the group and the representative of the Mercenary Guild. As for the other three guilds, I don't know how much they know about this matter, so in order to avoid unnecessary panic, they were not called this time.
"That's probably the way it is, do you have anything to say?" Lin Jue pinched the corners of his eyes, explained the current crisis, and said with a tired look.
Bi Fang frowned and asked, "The question now is, how can we build a city wall in two months?" After all, he is now in charge of the security of Phoenix City and the security of the territory, and he is more concerned about this issue than anyone else.
In the meeting room, everyone fell silent, and it was clear that no one could do anything to build a wall within two months.
"Well, let's discuss this tomorrow, everyone is tired from the journey, let's go and rest first. ”
Looking at everyone's helpless look, Lin Jue waved his hand and said. He looked at the current colony's planning range on the map with a sad face, to surround the current colony, there must be enough defense forces, this wall is obviously not able to be built in two months.
At this time, all the people in the conference room had gone, and only Jiang Quan was still here. Lin Jue paused for a moment and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Jiang Quan said with a smile: "Actually, I thought of a way to build a city wall within two months, but they didn't understand this method, so I could only wait for them to leave before telling you." ”
Lin Jue was interested and asked, "Oh? ”
Jiang Quan lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of which, do you remember such a time in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao was pursued by Ma Chao in Xiliang, and he had no place to stop to defend. ”
Lin Jue thought for a moment and said: "Well, I know this, I watched TV series when I was a child, but I just think this method is brain-opening and magical." Is it possible that we should wait until the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, prepare enough sand and water, and build the city on the spot? I always feel that this method is not very scientific. ”
Jiang Quan shook his head like a rattle and said, "Who said that we should copy this method, most of the things in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were exaggerated, and even if this city can be built, it will be the size of a fortress at best." In fact, I think that although this method needs to be examined, we can refer to it, and maybe it will not be difficult to build a strong city in two months. ”
Hearing this, Lin Jue's eyes lit up and said, "Indeed, we can learn from it, I have thought of a good way." ”
After a long time, Lin Jue and Jiang Quan walked out of the conference room, and Fenix and Lin Yue were waiting here.
Jiang Quan said hello to the two and left, Lin Jue moved his gaze to Fenix, looked at her with a flattering look and said, "Little Phoenix, do me a little favor, okay?"
Fenix was furious by this gaze, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "If you say anything directly, don't stare at me like this." ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "That, I want to make something, I need your help, you just need to light the fire, how about it?"
"As long as you're in charge of lighting the fire? you don't want me to cook for you, are you? aren't you afraid I'll burn the pot?"
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, how can I let the noble Miss Phoenix do things like cooking and cooking, the things I ask you to do are naturally high-end and high-grade jobs, and they are definitely worthy of your noble identity and your noble and gorgeous feathers, how about helping?"
Phinex muttered, "I always feel like you're going to let me do something not so good." ”
Lin Yue nodded in agreement, obviously she also felt that Lin Jue was thinking of some strange ideas.
Phoenixes thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can help you, but next time I go to Dawn City, how about you invite me to the Big Banyan Tree Restaurant for a good meal?"
Lin Jue nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "Of course, it's a word." ”
