Chapter 606: Building a City (For Book Friends & amp; Margin plus more)
The lord of a city, shepherding one side, shouldering hundreds of thousands of people, is the people of Great Xia, and should establish a heart for heaven and earth, and for ......
With thoughts flashing in Shi Ya's eyes, he had followed the clan lord for decades, dealing with various affairs, giving him a different experience from the other city lords.
But if you want to really gain a foothold in Great Xia, martial arts is one of them, and the other is to do a good job in your hands, the old turtle city lord is just the beginning, and one town is the goal.
The patriarch also said that a journey of ten thousand miles begins with a single step, so he doesn't think doing these things is trivial, and it doesn't hurt to have time to do more now.
This time, the distance of the river section assigned to the old turtle city is not too long, only 1,300 miles from north to south, and he plans to dig an east-west canal after digging through, together with the turtle water outside the old turtle city.
The territory of Great Xia is vast, spanning the land of the two regions, spanning tens of thousands of miles, such a distance is only a day for a powerful person like the clan master, but for ordinary people of Great Xia, it is a long distance that cannot be crossed in a lifetime.
Although Great Xia has a teleportation witch array, not everyone has the strength and qualifications to ride, and water transportation can be said to be the most convenient way to communicate in the wild land.
On the second day, the digging of the canal was arranged, and the stone tooth headed towards the old turtle city.
Since the establishment of the city in Great Xia, the vast territory has been changing every day.
The most significant thing is that with the promotion of Lingtian, some people who were unwilling in the city began to move out of the city in twos and threes, and chose suitable places to live to establish residences, forming large and small settlements.
Small, thirty or fifty families of small doors and small families huddle together and hold each other together.
In general, hundreds of households are neighbors.
Of course, there is also a trouble in this way, that is, for the city lord, the people are scattered everywhere, and it is not easy to control it, and the original warriors of the city lord's mansion can no longer take care of such a large place.
Forty miles away from the east of the old turtle city, he drove the flying boat and fell into a large settlement, which is called the Iron Mountain Settlement.
There are more than 600 households in this settlement, and there are no less than 10,000 people who come and go.
But for ordinary people, there is still some mining value.
The settlement is backed by a glittering hill, but the rocks on this hill contain too little iron to be mined.
In the center of the settlement at the foot of the mountain, there is a large courtyard that covers an area of a few miles, with mountain stones as walls, flashing with metal cold light, and it looks like an iron fortress from a distance.
The Yan family in the Tieshan settlement, there are two Tianmai peak martial artists in the clan, and there are more than ten other Tianmai realm martial artists, which can be said to be the biggest strong here, and the top strength in the clan is already comparable to the average medium tribe.
Retracting his gaze from the courtyard of the Yan family, Shiya fell into the settlement, and soon found a family, handed over the things he brought back to the woman at home, and then did not stop, and drove away in the flying boat.
There are more than a dozen large settlements like Iron Mountain around Old Turtle City, and there are several larger than Iron Mountain, all of which have gradually developed with the promotion of the Great Xia system.
This is also the current situation in Great Xia, and some bloodline families with a large number of clansmen are gradually beginning to form.
For this kind of new settlement that is gradually emerging, Shiya is also in the process of exploring, to say that it is the same as the previous scattered parts, but it is different, but if you really want to say where it is different, he really can't say.
In this case, he also contacted other city lords, and the situation he got was similar to that of Old Turtle City, in this case, he had already written to the clan, but unfortunately he had not received a clear reply.
......
The Quartet Wasteland.
Above the endless wilderness, the wild grass dances in the wind, and all over the wasteland, camps rise from the ground, and dense human heads can be seen busy.
Behind Xia Tuo, the elders of Great Xia poured out and appeared on this wasteland.
"Patriarch, the canal leading here from the Lingling Mountain, with the help of the raccoon force, is expected to be opened in half a year, and the Yanlei Daohuo Zhenjiang has recruited 100,000 quarrymen, and the first batch of 20,000 people have been stationed in the selected quarry site in the Lingling Mountain, and the mountain is built to build roads, which is the most prepared for quarrying. ”
Elder Feng held a beast skin book in his hand, and kept opening it, looking at the records on it.
"The canal connecting the wild ancient land on the west side of the river has been opened, the recruited elites have gone into the mountains to cut trees, and a large number of witch medicines to prevent insects, ants and miasma have been prepared by the clan, and they have been transported. ”
"The canal on the east side of the river that connects the wasteland is expected to take nine months to open. ”
"The Lord of the Demon Evil Domain of the Soul Mountain has built a dock on the spot, the boatmen and carpenters of Huaishui and the Rocky Rock have also begun to prepare to build ships, and the carpenters and blacksmiths of the various vassal tribes have also converged towards the Soul Mountain Domain. ”
Hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded and said loudly: "Send an order to Fengming, Zhongshan, and Beiling to Zhenjiang, and you can escort Jingzhuang to the Quartet Wasteland." ”
"Patriarch, the Demon City Lord has written a letter, saying that there is a sign of a breakthrough, please send someone to replace him in the clan. ”
Hearing this, Xia Tuo pondered for a moment and said: "Send an order to the Demon Elder Hui Clan, I will personally sit in Soul Mountain City for a period of time, and also send an order to Huo Wuling, so that he can lead his family to the southeast Tianya Pass, and let Elder Su Ge sit in the first-line waters of Huaishui and Chaotic Stone City." ”
"Yes. ”
"Elder Hunting Sky, you are in charge of building the city in the Quartet Wasteland, and all the clans and halls will fully cooperate with you, how long will it take for the city sand table to be completed. ”
"Three months. ”
He thought about it and said out loud.
"Good. ”
......
In the blink of an eye, three months later, Xia Tuo saw the city Kunyu created by gathering the strength of all the people in Great Xia, although it was a miniature version of the sand table, but the area was still ten zhang in size.
According to the brainstorming of the Witch Academy, combined with Xia Tuo's original ideas, the four sides of the Great Xia City are each two hundred miles long, the city is three hundred zhang high, the ground is one hundred zhang deep, and the top of the exposed ground city wall is three hundred zhang wide, and the witch array will be arranged in the city wall.
The city is divided into the inner city and the southeast and northwest four squares, the inner city is 500 zhang high, close to the inner city is the hall of the various departments of Daxia, the inner city is the center, the city is set up nine vertical and nine horizontal, a total of eighteen main roads, the main road is 100 zhang wide.
The only difference is that the area of the inner city has changed from the original fifty miles to thirty miles.
With this wooden sand table as a guide, the great cause of building the city in Great Xia began, and millions of young people were recruited from all over the country to come to the wasteland in all directions and began to dig the foundation of the city.
The foundation is thousands of zhang wide and 100 zhang deep, and the witch talisman is strengthened by the wizard, so more than eighty percent of the witch cultivators in the Great Xia clan have been transferred to the wasteland.
A year later, the canal connecting the north, south, east and west was dug up, and the giant trees of more than 100 zhang cut down from the wild ancient land were dragged along the surging Hongjiang River and were pulled by large boats towards the east.
Each of the boulders hewn out of the mountain weighs 10,000 pounds, and is carried on rafts along the canal to the wasteland.
The boulder was put into the excavated pit of the foundation of the city, and outside the pit of the city, the iron-making blast furnaces stood, burned red by the flames, and the molten iron of the furnace rushed into the cracks of the boulders like a fire dragon, seeping into the soil, and letting the heat above the wasteland continue to rise into the air.
In order to water the city wall, the iron ore accumulated by Great Xia over the years was consumed sharply, and Xia Tuo had no choice but to cast his eyes on the six roads in the northern region, and ordered the six provinces to look for ore.
The edict was issued, and he didn't care whether the six realms of Zhenjiang were personally taken care of or what he thought of, and soon a steady stream of all kinds of iron ore was sent to the Sifang wasteland.
Two million young men were mobilized on the Sifang Wasteland alone, not to mention the elites recruited everywhere along the way, within the territory of Great Xia, whether it was a vassal tribe or a city, the mobilization alone added up to no less than ten million.
In order to ensure the safety of the giant trees transported by the Hongjiang River in southern Xinjiang, Xia Tuo personally sat in the Soul Mountain City, and the giant trees sent from the ancient city of the wilderness were solid in texture, many of them belonged to the state of semi-spiritual wood, which could be branded with witch patterns, fused with molten iron, and were driven into the city wall to become a stump.
......
Two years later, the Soul Mountain City Lord's Mansion.
Xia Tuo sat in the palace hall, and Elder Lu came from outside.
"Patriarch, some people took advantage of the opportunity of us to build a city and recruit manpower, and constantly instigated the young and strong to resist. ”
"Who's behind it. ”
"The Snake, the Djinn, the Green Sheep, and the Luyou Clan, they are afraid that they have gotten some news, and they should be united. ”
Elder Lu said softly, since the founding of the city in the past few years, the number of warriors recruited by Great Xia is huge, and the cost is huge, even if there is money and food to be obtained, it still makes the hearts of the people in the city fluctuate slightly.
The people in the city can say that the vassal tribes are becoming more and more floating, but he still can't guess the patriarch's thoughts, why he allows the vassal tribes to come into frequent contact with the outside world.
Not only that, the patriarch of the high-grade Lishan tribe has been promoted to the peak realm of Shenzang, and the speed of cultivation is beyond imagination, this abnormal situation, the patriarch only let people silently monitor, and there is not much action.
What Elder Lu said, Xia Tuo didn't have to think about it, he knew who did it, the Qingteng Ancient City Alliance before, there were only a few tribes participating in the meeting, and even the territory was divided.
Over the years, there have been more fluctuations in the territory of Great Xia, but not only these, but there have been five high-ranking tribes under his command that have been in contact with the outside world, but he has not moved.
"The union of the four clans?"
Then, Xia Tuo groaned lightly, thinking in his heart, with the strength of Daxia now, he can completely take down the four major uncles without blood.
It was precisely because of his absolute strength that he did not take care of these four clans, and was ready to deal with the affairs of the four clans after building the city and sorting out the internal affairs of Great Xia.
Now it seems that it really has to be dealt with, and according to the news sent back by Xunfeng Hou, the Zidian Bobu has been successfully subdued, and Yuanshui and Dihuang are competing with the Jumu Bobu for the ownership of the Xiangbo Ministry.
I have to say that the Giant Wood Bobu is really a little overlord, the north and the Purple Electric Bobu are contending, and the south and the Black Dragon Bobu are vying for the control of the Fox Bobu.
It seems that the clans think that Great Xia is too quiet, and they want to find something for him to do, lest he stretch out his hand.
In that case, it's also good to have an event.
The strongest tribe in all eternity
