Chapter 16: The Founding of the City

Chen Jianghong looked through the notebook and said: "There are fifteen builders, ten blacksmiths, five carpenters, thirteen who can burn porcelain, five people who can heal, and thirty-five who have learned martial arts, and thirteen archers, five literate ones, and there are actually two prospectors, and a condor shooter and animal trainer, I didn't expect there to be so many talents among the slaves." ”

"Otomo, with these skilled people, it will be much easier for us to build Twin Rivers City. Chen Jianghong said with a smile.

"Yes, it is still the prince who will discover talents, so that we have so many available people at once. Wei Dongxian patted Chen Jianghong's ass and said with a smile.

"I'm going to gather the thirty-five brothers who know martial arts, the thirteen archers, the archers and the animal trainers, and expand them into the Praetorian Guard, and another hundred able-bodied people as reserves, to participate in the construction when they are busy, and to participate in training when they are free, our armed forces are really too weak. Chen Jianghong said.

Wei Dongxian nodded, and recorded Chen Jianghong's orders in a small notebook that he carried with him.

"In addition, we must use these skilled talents well, and in the future, our Shuanghe City will also build a blacksmith shop, a medical hall, a academy, a porcelain workshop, etc., after settling down, we will let those two prospecting masters go around to check around to see if there are any ore veins?"

"I think the same as you, Shuanghe City will be your fiefdom in the future, and we have to build it well. Wei Dongxian looked at Chen Jianghong lovingly and said, "Lord Wang, you have really grown up and begun to seriously manage your fiefdom. ”

"It's almost time, let's go. Chen Jianghong looked outside the tent and found that the five hundred freedmen had finished resting, so he gave the order to set off.

Five hundred original slaves, the current free people are all elated all the way, because Chen Jianghong just announced in public, in Shuanghe City, each of them will have a big house, will have fifty acres of land, God, they didn't expect that happiness came so suddenly, one moment they were all slaves with nothing, the next moment, they will have their own houses and land in the city, the prince also said that as long as their contributions are outstanding, the prince will give them the title of nobles, which makes the slaves even more enthusiastic, go fast along the way, and want to arrive in Shuanghe City as soon as possible and build their own homes。

Zhang Da originally estimated that it would take three days to walk, but in front of the enthusiastic free people, he only walked for two days to reach his destination.

Two days later, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Chen Jianghong and his party arrived at Shuanghe City.

Chen Jianghong rode on his war horse, looked at the whole piece of ruined walls, and fell into deep thought, although he had long known that Shuanghe City had been abandoned, but he did not expect that the once strong city was now bombarded back and forth by cannonballs two or three times, and there was not a single complete building in the entire Shuanghe City, and even the city walls had completely collapsed.

The arrival of Chen Jianghong and his party disturbed a large group of half-meter-tall small beasts in the ruins, those small beasts had some pointed heads and long tails, very similar to mice on the earth, but these mice were also too big, standing up half a human height, at this moment those little beasts raised their necks, waved their claws, and let out a sharp roar, as if to make Chen Jianghong and his party leave their territory.

"Kill them!" Chen Jianghong gave an order, and fifty heavily armed Praetorian Guards rushed forward, waving their spears, and wiped out more than 100 big rats in an instant.

Looking at the big rats that escaped, Chen Jianghong thought of the giant eagle he saw when he first came to the Immortal Sect Continent, and a bad feeling arose in his heart, perhaps because the aura of heaven and earth was strong, the beasts of the Immortal Sect World were generally several times larger than those on the earth, if a large group of bison magnified ten times rushed over, it was estimated that they would be able to hit the solid city wall in an instant.

"At the end of each month, there is going to be a beast tide in Twin Rivers City, and there is not much time left for us, so everyone will speed up, first build a few houses to live in, and then go all out to build the city walls. Chen Jianghong commanded.

Under the leadership of the fifteen builders, everyone began to work in an orderly manner, some cleaning the site, some beating stones, and some assembling a simple lifting machine.

Chen Jianghong walked to a construction site and saw a construction master named 'Lu Hong' leading ten people to find bellflowers, sticky rice and clay, which were stirring with water, Chen Jianghong asked curiously: "Master Lu, what are you doing here?"

Lu Hong saw that it was Chen Jianghong coming, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "This is the glue between the stones when building the house and the city wall. ”

After Lu Hong finished speaking, he grabbed a small handful of sticky mud with his hand, found two stones to stick together, and demonstrated them to Chen Jianghong.

Chen Jianghong saw this, and was suddenly stunned, although he didn't know how to build a house, but he also knew that modern times are mixed with cement and sand to bond bricks, Chen Jianghong said to Lu Hong: "No need to make this adhesive, I have a new adhesive." ”

"What is the new binder? I have been a builder for 20 years, and I have used bellflower, sticky rice and clay as binders, and we have been building a line for thousands of years, and we have used this kind of binder?" Lu Hong was puzzled, he was also a master in the construction line, but he had never heard of any new binders.

"You'll find out later. Without much explanation, Chen Jianghong returned to his big tent in the middle of the camp, and once again informed Wei Dongxian and Zhang Da that he was going to retreat, and asked them to bring the Praetorian Guards to protect him.

Chen Jianghong used the gossip mirror to skillfully summon the light gate again, and when he stepped out, he came to the earth again.

As soon as I returned to the study of the Qingxuan Taoist Temple, I heard the front of the Taoist Temple, the voices of people were boiling, the machinery was roaring, and Lin Bao and Ge Dazhuang were supervising the construction team to repair the Qingxuan Taoist Temple.

Seeing Chen Jianghong walking out, Lin Bao and Ge Dazhuang hurriedly greeted them and said, "Master, you're back." ”

Chen Jianghong nodded, checked the maintenance situation, and was quite satisfied, so he took Lin Bao and Ge Dazhuang to a remote corner and said, "Have you two ever condensed spiritual power?"

Lin Bao and Ge Dazhuang glanced at each other, and then Ge Dazhuang said: "Master, when I meditated, I could already sense the existence of the stars in the sky, but now I can't guide the starlight to land, and I haven't condensed the spiritual power. ”

"Yes, keep up the good work. Chen Jianghong said appreciatively, after only three days of cultivation, he can sense the stars in the sky, it seems that Ge Dazhuang is very suitable for cultivating the "Dutian Refining Star Technique".

Seeing Chen Jianghong, Lin Bao said with some embarrassment: "Master, I haven't sensed the stars in the sky yet. ”

"Keep up the good work. Chen Jianghong said encouragingly, thinking that it might be that Lin Bao was not suitable for cultivating the "Dutian Refining Star Technique", Chen Jianghong was ready to let Lin Bao practice for another month, if after a month, he still couldn't sense the stars, Chen Jianghong would give Lin Bao a different exercise.

The aura of heaven and earth on the earth is thin, and Chen Jianghong originally only had "Dutian Refining Star Technique" It can be cultivated, but on the Immortal Sect Continent, Chen Jianghong found a lot of precious medicinal herbs on the earth, which can be seen everywhere in the jungle, on the way to Shuanghe City, Chen Jianghong picked five thousand-year-old ginseng, which made Chen Jianghong ecstatic, using the thousand-year-old wild ginseng to refine the Huanglong Pill, it must be full of spiritual energy and full of medicinal effect, Chen Jianghong decided to wait for the construction of Shuanghe City to come to an end, and then open the furnace for alchemy, and then give Lin Bao some elixirs containing aura, and he can also practice other exercises.

"According to the weapons and armor from the last time, prepare another hundred sets for the master, prepare another hundred strong bows for me, prepare another twenty tons of cement for me, and give me a copy of the refining method of cement. Chen Jianghong said.

Lin Bao said: "Master, that hardware company, we have already acquired, spent three million, last time you said that you want us to prepare some cold weapons that can be used in actual combat, I asked the workers to produce some, all in the warehouse, these things only need an hour, can be ready." ”

Chen Jianghong patted Lin Leopard's shoulder and said, "You have done a good job, there are still ten Yellow Dragon Pills here for the teacher, you and Da Zhuang will divide it, and when you come back from Yunyou for the teacher next time, I will give you a new pill, so that your strength will improve by leaps and bounds." ”

"Thank you, master, the disciple must cultivate with his heart. Lin Bao and Ge Dazhuang both saluted respectfully, they had already eaten a few pills given by Chen Jianghong in the past few days, although they had not condensed their spiritual power, but their physical fitness had improved a lot, Ge Dazhuang felt that his strength had increased a lot, and the speed of his fist swing had also improved.

And Lin Leopard's hidden disease has been completely cured, and now he needs three beauties to accompany him every night to meet his needs, which makes Lin Leopard very proud, and often screams in front of Ge Dazhuang, but Ge Dazhuang is dedicated to cultivation and is not very interested in the affairs of men and women, which makes Lin Leopard feel that Ge Dazhuang is very boring, just like a wooden man.

Now Lin Leopard is looking for a woman, it is all your love and my willingness, and he doesn't dare to have a trace of compulsion, he is really afraid that Chen Jianghong will pinch the trick with his fingers, and a flying sword will fly out, and he will cut off his own right and wrong roots, then he will be completely sad.
