Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

On June 14th, 6, after Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui held the development planning meeting of the Marquis of Shaliu in the city hall of Yuexia City, they started the town inspection tour of Marquis of Shaliu together with Liu Qianhui that night.

Due to the desert climate of the Marquis of Shaliu, except for the area within the new city wall of Yuexia City that has been transformed to be suitable for daytime activities, the other areas are still in a very harsh desert environment, so Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui can only choose to travel at night.

Compared with the unbearable heat, the severe cold at night can still be resisted slightly. After all, as long as there are no storms or sandstorms, wear more warm clothes, and lie on camels more when driving, you can barely walk, Sha Liuhou The military and civilians of the country have accumulated rich experience in traveling at night.

During the day, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui inspected various towns in the Marquis of Shaliu. In fact, the towns in the desert, and even if the city walls are built, the soldiers and civilians don’t have to worry about extreme desert weather such as sandstorms and storms, but the temperature difference between day and night remains the same. There is no way to change it, so the working time is very short. Most of the towns are not very well built. Basically, they are buildings such as the City Lord's Mansion, City Hall, Granary, Material Warehouse and Military Barracks.

On the morning of June 14, 6, when Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui inspected Yueshang City, they proposed that regardless of whether the water is stored or not, all towns in the Marquis of Shaliu should use the specifications of Yuexia City to build water in every town. To excavate a reservoir with an area of ​​no less than 8 square meters and a depth of 3 meters, sandbags of 6 meters or more must be piled on the walls and bottom.

Although severe weather is almost everywhere in the desert area of ​​Shaliuhou Kingdom, towns protected by second-tier city walls will generally not be affected, and there is no need to worry about the hard-earned water reservoir being buried by a sandstorm. .

Now both Mid-Moon City and Upper Moon City have green plant experts brought by the Lord of Lian Island Greening City, the Holy Land of the Yi Emperor, who are trying to plant shrubs and weeds around Yuexia City. Suggestions like Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui have been received by all the green people. He received a warm welcome from planting technology experts and was immediately executed by the town lords of the towns in the Marquis of Shaliu.

When Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui finished inspecting Yueshang City and Yuezhong City, they rushed to the third town built by the Marquis of Shaliu, the excavation of the city's reservoir had already started, and the soldiers and civilians were extremely busy. It's a joy, although there are no green planting experts to plant desert shrubs in this town.

In the middle and late June of the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui returned to Xirong City and inspected all the ten towns and Xirong City built by the Marquis of Shaliu on their own.

There are only 11 towns, and the farthest distance between each town is no more than 30 kilometers, and the nearest is no more than 20 kilometers. It took Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui more than two weeks to inspect them all.

And in the past two weeks or so, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui have been working very hard, basically traveling at night, patrolling the town during the day, and only resting at noon when it is the hottest.

Xirong City is considered to be the most livable town in Shaliu Hou Kingdom after Yuexia City. When Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui arrived, two reservoirs of more than 1 square meters each had been excavated in Xirong City. A three-meter-wide, three-meter-deep, and 100-meter-long ditch connects the two reservoirs, but there is no stage of filling the reservoirs yet.

Judging from the current fresh water efficiency of the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory to the Marquis of Shaliu, and the fresh water accumulated in the early stage of the Marquis of Shaliu, at least it is not a big problem to fill the two reservoirs of Xirong City. At the same time, Xirong City is currently also on the scale of green plants A town second only to Moon City.

Of course, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui did not stop their efforts to inspect the Marquis of Shaliu. After inspecting all the cities and towns, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui began to make full preparations to go to the depths of the deserted desert to mine the metal mines. Also read it carefully.

For such a long time, Sunan has arranged intelligence personnel to investigate all the territory of Shaliuhou Kingdom in advance, and marked all the metal mines in the wild on the map.

Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui only need to refer to the map to find out where the metal mines are concentrated in the desert area of ​​the Shaliuhou Kingdom. After all, it is necessary to issue policies to attract mine owners and entrepreneurs to develop metal mines in advance. Do some preparation.

However, no matter how well prepared they were, marching and camping in the desert still had great risks. Therefore, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui only hurriedly inspected the area where the three metal mines were concentrated, and hurried back to Shaliu City.

On June 14th, Tianxuan 6th, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui returned to the palace in Shaliu City, and began to discuss their feelings over the past 30 days of inspection.

Qu Mao said: "Liu Qianhui, I think the 12 towns in the current Shaliuhou Kingdom are too far away from the area where the metal mines are relatively concentrated, and the nearest one is 30 kilometers away. The steam train in Xirong City has been increased to three times a day, and I don't want you to issue policies now to attract mine owners and entrepreneurs to develop these metal mines by themselves.

It's too far away, it's not easy to walk there, and it's too late to rescue if something happens.

After all, if a resident dies, we will still be responsible for the responsibility of Emperor Yi's territory after all, which will affect the overall loyalty and centripetal force of the residents. "

Liu Qianhui nodded and said, "Qu Mao, I agree with you, but the Marquis of Shaliu still wants to develop these metal mines, otherwise it will be impossible to develop on its own. What do you think should be done?"

Qu Mao frowned and said, "What else can I do? Continue to build the city.

I think that in the area where the three metal mines are relatively concentrated, we should choose the central location and build three towns, even if it is just to build the city wall, to provide a place for the mine owners, entrepreneurs and residents who develop the metal mines. A place to stay is better than nothing now. "

Liu Qianhui smiled and said: "We have the same opinion, so let's build the city as soon as possible.

I just got the news: the steam train from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's Territory to Xirong City has been upgraded to twice a day.

The factory director of Liandao Locomotive Works assured us that by the end of July, the number of shifts would be increased to three shifts per day.

In other words, we can issue a policy in August 14 at the earliest to attract mine owners and entrepreneurs to come to Shaliuhou to independently develop metal mines. "

Qu Mao said: "In this case, let's plan to build three more towns, called Iron Ore City, Minmetals City and Metal City, what do you think?"

Liu Qianhui nodded.

Qu Mao continued: "Of course, I will also send a message to Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao, asking them to start transporting fresh water resources from the Eastern Continent to the Holy Land now, otherwise starting in August, three steam trains a day will total 8 tons of fresh water Supplies to the Marquis of Shaliu will exhaust the fresh water in the Holy Land in a short time."

Liu Qianhui said: "Okay, let's split up, maybe we have to build the city ourselves."
