Chapter 199: City of Miracles

Du Wei's almost crazy decision shocked everyone, but it was clear to everyone that the young Earl definitely didn't look like he was joking. Maybe he's crazy, but it's definitely not a joke.

In the next few rìs, Du Wei mobilized almost all of his forces.

Originally, Robert's 4,000 infantry had been stationed in a barracks outside the city of Guiliar. Now the problem before Du Wei is: the weapons and equipment in the stock can only arm a thousand soldiers.

Damn Governor Bohan, his men were looted so hard when they left, they ran out of even basic weaponry. Du Wei looked at the equipment in the warehouse, and many of them were rusty. I barely scraped together 800 sets and got 800 soldiers armed first

And the remaining 3,000 people can only train with their bare hands for the time being.

Fortunately, Du Wei had already made some plans before coming to the northwest, and he immediately sent people to attack from all directions, running almost all over the northwest region to buy all the building materials he needed.

In the treasury of the capital city of Guiliar, Du Wei was pleasantly surprised that there were still a lot of building materials that could be used here - it was obvious that the predecessor zhèngfǔ also noticed that this dilapidated city was really not repairable, and also prepared a batch of supplies, but the lack of funds made this plan be shelved indefinitely.

Of course, Du Wei smiled happily at these things.

And after assigning a series of tasks to his subordinates, he hid himself in the dilapidated governor's palace, closed the door, and did not know what he was doing. Occasionally, Du Wei summoned some of the craftsmen, but their conversations were kept secret.

More than half a month passed quickly, and in this half month, Mader almost broke his leg with a group of servants. A lot of gold coins were spent. Countless supplies were bought, wood, mud tiles, etc., but to everyone's surprise, there was no food.

General Longbottom wrote a letter, then found a few people to copy it for an unknown number of copies, and then sent people around to deliver it.

In fact, the content of each letter is exactly the same:

"Lao Tzu has returned to the northwest, and if you are willing to do it with Lao Tzu, you will hurry up to report to the city of Guiliar!" The signature below is a strange pattern.

General Longbottom summoned his old troops. Soon, less than a month. There were more than a thousand more people in the barracks outside the city. These more than 1,000 people were the cavalry that had accompanied General Longbottom across the northwest. When these veterans retire, most of them return home to work as farmers, tailors, blacksmiths, and even small laborers.

A month later, 5,000 sets of infantry armor and weapons, as well as armor and weapons capable of equipping 2,000 cavalry, were all delivered. In this matter, the most famous tycoon in the empire, the Delan Mountain Warcraft, helped a lot. This businessman deals in a lot of weapons and has a lot of connections with the military, and Du Wei bought these weapons in his hands. They are all configured according to the first-class standard of the Imperial Main Battle Legion. In addition, there are military short crossbows. Longbow and so on.

This time, it cost Du Wei hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The army is really a bottomless pit that burns money.

Relying on Longbottom's connections in the northwest, thousands of high-quality war horses were purchased. In this way, Du Wei's current 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry finally no longer need to hold burning sticks. Everyone was armed.

Longbottom Cāo practiced his old unit for a few days, and these fellows were washed away from the vulgar dust and regained their military demeanor. In the barracks outside the city, General Longbottom's loud voice could be heard every morning: "Get up for Lao Tzu! Boys! Put on your equipment and ride your horses." If anyone falls behind today, Lao Tzu will punish him for washing everyone's boots!

No one knew how the general trained his old troops, only that he would call the gang every morning. Then they all rode out and did not return until evening. Sometimes, it's two or three days as soon as I go out.

It's just that every time they come back, these guys are half tired and dusty, as if they have been fished out of the mire.

And Philip and other disciples of the Blue Sea Sect took control of the administrative apparatus of the province in the shortest possible time - this is not difficult, in fact, in such a poor area, there is really not much administrative work to do.

Everyone was busy, even Hussein didn't have time to rest, Du Wei dyed his hair blue with a special potion, and because he was blind in one eye, the paladin wore an eye patch on his face. In this way, it is believed that in this place in the northwest, no one will be able to recognize the most wanted man of this temple.

Fortunately for Du Wei, there are probably no temples in such a barren area as the province of Dessa, so there are only two religious places in the entire province of Dessa, and they are all close to the province of Nulin.

Knight Robert was very busy, and Dewey not only put the 4,000 rebels under his command, but also put him in charge of recruiting new recruits - no way, Dewey's men were too few and too few.

This place in the northwest, where the people are strong, is a region with strong troops, but unfortunately the population is sparse, and only 3,000 people are recruited in a month, and Knight Robert organized a reserve infantry regiment and mobilized a few of his own men to practice every day.

And Hussein is also a very good candidate sent by Du Wei to help Robert Knight train his troops. Hussein was originally the Grand Knight Captain of the Holy Knights, and the people who can lead the Holy Knights, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to train these recruits well. Of course, Hussein cāo trained cavalry, which was not too difficult a job. Because in this place in the northwest, although it is barren, almost every household has one or two horses, and children can ride horses. Soon, there was a lot of excitement in the barracks outside the city.

When the second month came, everyone began to wonder if the Duke of Du Wei had really gone mad.

He said that he had built a new city in three months, but now a month has passed, and he has been hiding in the governor's palace all day long.

A large number of building materials have been transported to the address of the selected new city on the shore of Loulan Lake. There used to be a small town of less than 1,000 people, and now a large number of supplies are piled up there. Du Wei thought of a lot of ways to pull the five hundred Royal Forest Army and let them act as a guard to guard those supplies on the shore of Loulan Lake. These Guards are already a little dissatisfied. This place in the northwest really makes them a little unbearable, and everyone hopes to return to the world of flowers and flowers as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Du Wei finally didn't let everyone wait any longer.

On the fifth day of the second month, he finally walked out of the Doge's Palace. Everyone noticed that the Duke's already emaciated body seemed to be thinner, his face was a little pale, his eyes were a little red, and his face was full of exhaustion. But Du Wei's jīng god is very good.

"Remember today, gentlemen, for from today onwards you will witness a miracle happen!"

Early that morning, all the inhabitants of the town on the shore of Loulan Lake were summoned to the farmland outside the town.

In the northwest, the land is barren, but on the shore of Loulan Lake, this place is not bad because of its proximity to the water source. Grain production is also relatively high in the northwest.

Du Wei issued an order to the thousands of residents of the town, he needed some people who could do farm work, the more the better!

You just have to plant it for me, and you can reap it for me! The order announced by Du Wei was clear: "And your reward, all those who work, and how much grain you harvest, you may take a tenth of it." ”

This outlandish order surprised everyone present.

After all, these villages and towns are full of farmers, and even women can do farm work.

According to Master Du Wei's orders, everyone planted all the seeds distributed in their hands into the land. It took two days of everyone's time.

At the beginning, everyone was waiting to see the joke, was this aristocratic lord an idiot, and now he was planting in this season, or was he wasting too much food to play?

But soon, everyone couldn't laugh.

Early on the morning of the third day, Du Wei appeared in his magician's robe, and then he carefully let people carry out a dozen buckets of water, and then he carefully observed the following amounts, took out a bottle from his arms, and dripped a few drops of liquid in each bucket of water.

Dewey began to cast his magic.

The magic he casts is not complicated, it is just a water type magic that any intermediate magician can cast.

After he finished reciting the incantation, everyone could see that above the noble lord's head, a whirlpool of air soon appeared between his hands, and the whirlpool air flow carried infinite suction. Suck up all the dozen buckets of water. More than a dozen columns of water rose into the sky, and the air currents above their heads became more and more turbulent. Finally, after Du Wei chanted a few incantations aloud, the wind rose

The vortex gradually formed a small rain cloud, and then the dark cloud was evenly sprinkled in the farmland under Du Wei's command, from south to north, from east to west. After the clouds dispersed and the rain subsided, in the shocked eyes of everyone.

In the originally bare farmland, the young shoots in the land struggled to drill out one by one. And then it grows at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!

In less than half a cup of tea, the originally bare fields were already overgrown with crops!

Witnessing a miracle, countless ignorant farmers began to pray aloud, and many more knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, shouting their names excitedly.

"What are you waiting for! It's time to harvest the grain! No matter how much you harvest, you can get a tenth of the fruits of your labor. “

At Du Wei's order, thousands of farmers rushed to the fields with scythes brandishing their scythes almost like crazy

Such a scene. It took fifteen days! And every day, Du Wei could make the crops in the field grow two or three times!

After a long time, everyone couldn't eat it, and the grain in those fields grew like crazy. After a few days of crazy harvesting, many people were tired, and Du Wei immediately brought a thousand recruits to replenish the labor force.

And then the problems that happened were even more bizarre. There were not enough scythes, and the recruits simply took out their swords and harvested, and in the end all the granaries were piled up. The food that could not be put down had to be piled up in the open in the town.

Looking at the piles of grain, everyone wondered if they were crazy or dreaming. But the soreness of the waist and legs made everyone very sober.

From then on, the eyes of these people looking at Du Wei were almost the same as looking at gods!

Fifteen days have allowed this farm on the shore of Loulan Lake to be harvested countless times. A large amount of food kept the huge convoy prepared by Du Wei busy. One by one, granaries were built. It wasn't until finally, when everyone was too tired to move, that Du Wei put an end to this crazy move.

As a result, Du Wei estimated that in the next year, the grain prices in the two northwestern provinces will be greatly reduced!

Then, in the town, a grand and unprecedented celebration was held. Everyone went crazy and drank and danced like crazy, cheering for the harvest created by such a god. The festivities lasted for a day and a night, and everyone was so drunk that they drank all the wine they could find, but no one was distressed. Because next, they don't lack grain for brewing!

After the carnival, after everyone had a day's rest, Du Wei announced, "Start building the city!"

For more than a month, Philip took great pains to recruit thousands of laborers from all over the province of Dessa, and collected all the craftsmen he could find. Finally, the Duke announced the establishment of the city, but only half of the three months he had left were left.

Witnessing this kind of super harvest created by the Duke with magical magic, Philip's original suspicions have been shaken! To create such a miracle may build a new city in a month, it is not necessarily crazy!

"All you need is to work at night. Du Wei gave a simple order to the thousands of craftsmen that Philip had recruited: "You don't need to do too much heavy physical work, in fact, I just need you to do some tinkering and hammering work." ”

Then, once again, Du Wei showed his miracle!

As with the harvest, Du Wei had the Maderites plant a sapling outside the selected site of the new city, and then he used the "passage of time" spring water to artificially rain again.

Nearly 1,000 saplings followed, and most of them grew into towering trees in one day!

After blowing the horn of life, a thousand giant-like treants were awakened, and what awaited them was a mountain of materials that had already been piled up

Undoubtedly, the most primitive treant companions, who have little self-consciousness, are the best laborers, they are powerful, tireless, and very obedient!

Huge rocks that take dozens of people to move can be easily lifted by a single tree man and placed where they should be.

At first, the craftsmen were frightened by these behemoths, and they ran around like crazy, thinking that they had seen monsters, and under the suppression of Du Wei's army, these guys were quiet. Subsequently, after determining that these giants were not in danger, soon, thousands of craftsmen worked hard!

As Du Wei said, most of the heavy physical work has already been undertaken by these giants, and all the craftsmen need is to repair and hammer.

For example, when the walls were being built, the trees were easily covered with a layer of stones, and the craftsmen immediately pounced on them and began to fill them with sediment and the like

In less than ten days, the northern wall was already taking shape!

This speed is frighteningly fast!

Philip brought a group of Mr. Blue Sea's disciples to act as overseers, and each of them was assigned a task. With architectural drawings in hand, he was busy directing around.

As it turned out, Du Wei didn't say big things.

With these powerful giants as laborers, the main walls of the new city had been completed by the time there were five days left in the third month of Du Wei's promise. All the walls were designed with diamond-shaped, undulating corners, and the walls were fifteen meters high, which was already the standard for a first-class city in the empire. Such a diamond-shaped city wall will be extremely strong!

Under the protection of the twenty-mile-long city wall, it will be Du Wei's new capital in the northwest!

Loulan City!

Privately, though, everyone gave the city a new name:

City of Wonders!

Of course, now this "city of miracles" is still just an empty shell, except for the main outer city walls. The city was still blank. Du Wei designed several avenues that run through the north, south, east and west, and the pavement has been paved. But the surroundings were empty. The only building in the city is a castle.

This will be the Doge's Mansion in the future.

The approximate shelves of the new capital city have been erected in March, and the rest is the buildings in the city. Then there is the headache of emigration. These things are not something that can be done in the short term.

According to Philip's estimates, it will take about a year for the new capital to become a veritable city.

And before that, Du Wei had to stay in the old capital of Gilliar.

The inhabitants of that town on the shores of Lake Loulan became the first settlers of the new capital, after receiving a series of guarantees. They gave up their homeland: "That small town." All of them became residents of the new capital. After worrying about food, I began to build a new home......"

After a busy few months, the number of people who are already sure to be willing to move has reached 30,000. The northwestern part of the new capital city already has a bit of a look. Citizens who move to the new city will receive a one-year commitment from all taxes exempted from all taxes.

The construction of the new city also provided a large number of employment opportunities, and the farmers did not have to worry about losing their source of livelihood when they came to the city - not to mention that Dewey might keep their original land.

The city of Guillar is the one who immigrated the most, because Du Wei announced the preferential conditions for exempting all taxes for one year. It was also announced that the city of Gilliar would no longer be a city in the province of Dessa. At the same time, no troops are planned to be stationed here.

Without the protection of the city walls, if the current dilapidated walls could be considered "city walls". Without the protection of the army, it would become a favorite place for horse thieves and robbers. As a result, insecure citizens had to choose to relocate.

80,000 people have migrated. It doesn't happen overnight.

However, these questions do not need to be taken to Du Wei's mind. Philip will take the group of disciples of the blue sea as the first administrative officials of his Governor's Palace, and will be responsible for all immigration and relocation issues. And the Robert knight is in charge of taking the army to deter in case something happens during this period.

What about Du Wei?

Once again, he entered the Doge's palace in the city of Guiliar and began his mysterious life of research.

Hussein was given a new task by Dewey. This powerful paladin will travel to the Frozen Forest and cross the Great Round Lake to the valley inhabited by the Treants.

-- Because the "time passes" spring water in Du Wei's hand has almost been exhausted!

If you can safely enter the frozen forest, you don't have to worry about the harsh conditions of that person and the powerful demonic beasts that roam everywhere, and you don't have to worry about leaks, only Hussein can do this job.
