My Empire War Game

Chapter 276 Great Construction

After destroying the orcs' broken army, Su Lun took the army back to Zhenbei City. By this time, the remaining orcs had basically all evacuated to the northern wasteland. Victory, but the main force of the orcs has retreated.

Su Lun originally wanted to see if there was a chance to keep the high priest of the orcs, but now it seemed impossible. When he left, Su Lun also brought along those refugees who had been gathered in the wild, but this was the case. The number of refugees gathered at one time was much smaller, adding up to only more than 3,000 people.

It took Su Lun four days to bring people back to Zhenbei City. At this time, Zhenbei City has become a large construction site. Due to the skyrocketing population, Zhenbei City can now be said to be overcrowded. In just two months, Su Lun immigrated from the northern provinces to more than 100,000 people.

The third phase of the project is currently being built outside Zhenbei City. According to Su Lun's drawings, the circumference of the third phase of Zhenbei City is eight kilometers. If all completed, Zhenbei City can easily accommodate a population of more than 100,000, even in the entire Kingdom of Florence. Can be in the top few.

It's not that Suren can't build a bigger city. In fact, with the productivity of the current society, a city with more than 100,000 people needs other towns to support it.

After all, there are more people living in cities, and more materials are needed. In this era of no chemical fertilizers, the output of land is limited. To supply a city of 100,000 people with food, drink and Lhasa, naturally a lot of fields are needed. If Continuing to expand farmland outwards will result in many peasants living only outside the city.

If it is the Kingdom of Florence, there is no big problem in this situation. After all, the land of Florence has been developed for hundreds of years, and the number of kobolds and goblins in the wild is also limited, but Zhenbei City is different, and it has only been occupied for more than a year. , Even if the army of Zhenbei City is constantly patrolling, the various monsters in the wild will still increase every time.

It's not safe for those peasants to live far away from the city, so Sullen is not currently planning to build a big city with too many people. Of course, because of the farmyard manure and the harvest altar in Zhenbei City, the output of the land is large, and it is not difficult to supply a city with a population of 100,000.

However, Su Lun did not intend to build such a large city directly. He planned to build another city west of Zhenbei City. So far, there are already three cities in Su Lun's territory. In addition to Zhenbei City, there are Mirror Lake City and Centaur City, but the population of Mirror Lake City and Centaur City are not large.

After several times of immigration, the population of Jinghu City has just reached the scale of 10,000 people, while the number of Centaur City is even less, only more than 4,000 people. In addition to leaving 60,000 people in Zhenbei City, Su Lun planned to allocate 20,000 people to Jinghu City, 5,000 to Centaur City, and the remaining 15,000 people to the new city to be built.

More than 20 gathering points, large and small, have been established outside Zhenbei City. Each gathering point has 2,000 to 5,000 people, and the total number exceeds 50,000. At this time, these people are building on the construction site. Walls and housing are a priority, and these must be completed by November.

Because in November, it will start snowing here in Zhenbei City. If there is no housing by then, these refugee slaves will freeze to death. It is already August, and there are only three months left until November. The pressure to complete the city wall and housing within such a short construction period is still very high.

The return of Su Lun did not affect the progress of the city's construction. Now there are a large number of grass-roots officials in Zhenbei City. These trained officials are already competent for their jobs. As long as the tasks are assigned, they will work as required, so Although the number of people in Zhenbei City has now doubled, Su Lun has fewer things to deal with.

In the past, many trivial matters had to be handled by Su Lun, but now these people below have handled them in an orderly manner. As for corruption, abuse of power, and the use of power for personal gain, Zhenbei City has not yet appeared.

It's not that the officials in Zhenbei City are conscious enough. In fact, these people also have their own selfish desires. In order to prevent this from happening, Zhenbei City has also set up a special supervision department. North City Prison.

The prison that Su Lun spent a lot of time building works surprisingly well. After training and educating the grass-roots officials, they need to come to the prison for the last ideological and political lesson. After coming here to experience some special treatment, all the grass-roots officials have become respectful and awe-inspiring here, and their work has become diligent and diligent, and they dare not take a step forward.

And in order to deepen the memory of these grass-roots officials, Su Lun stipulated that every six months, all officials must go here to receive ideological and political re-education. The effect is still very good from the current point of view. As for the wardens and wardens in the prison, because they work here, the effects here have no effect on them, unless they are no longer in the prison.

Of course, there is also a monitoring system for these prison personnel. According to the myths and legends of the previous life, Su Lun invited a master carver to deliberately carve two statues of mythical beasts, Ou, these two statues have no other functions.

With these current official governance in Zhenbei City, it can be said that it has reached a level that even in the previous life has not been achieved. Of course, Su Lun still has a lot of benefits for officials. In addition to the basic salary, there are additional benefits every month. It can be said that the living standards of grass-roots officials are still very good.

Su Lun did not calculate the officials' salaries exactly like Zhu Hongwu did. The low salaries made these officials almost unable to support their entire families. Although Su Lun does not advocate high salaries to keep them cheap, this kind of behavior that allows the horses to run and keep them from grazing is also not acceptable. How can there be such a good thing in the world? After all, there were only a handful of people like Hai Rui throughout the Ming Dynasty.

The welfare of the grass-roots officials in Zhenbei City is still good. Although they cannot be rich, they can still do it without worrying about food and clothing. And Su Lun also promised them that when Zhenbei City established the school, their children could go to school directly.

Although Su Lun has less jobs, the number of grass-roots officials is beginning to be in short supply. Su Lun has no good way now, and can only select some from the refugee slaves. When transporting these people to Zhenbei City before, all the The refugees were divided into small groups, and some of the grass-roots officials were selected from these people.

When they migrated, they did a good job, and all those who cooperated well were promoted to grass-roots officials. Then they were asked to study with the previous grass-roots officials for a period of time. After the study was almost done, they were sent to the grass-roots official training base in batches through internships. Carry out training, and those who fail the assessment will go back directly.

Using this old-fashioned approach, Su Lun quickly cultivated a group of grass-roots officials.

The arrival of a large number of people not only made Zhenbei City crowded, but also brought many problems, such as public security, hygiene and other issues. A city with 10,000 people has a serious shortage of manpower.

After the army in Zhenbei City returned, Su Lun temporarily dispatched a thousand pikemen to serve as the security force. At the same time, recruits began to be recruited in the barracks. Apart from some of these recruits serving as the security force, the other part joined the pikemen and archers.

If Su Lun wanted to establish a trap camp and a shooting camp, he needed a large number of sharp gun guards and sharp archers, and because of the chance of advancement, these two special arms would not be full for a long time.

The city wall of the third phase of Zhenbei City is 15 meters high, 8 kilometers long, 5 meters wide at the top and 6.5 meters wide at the bottom. It can be said that this section of the city wall is the largest building in addition to the spectacle buildings. In order to build this road The city wall, Zhenbei City used 60,000 people to work, including 30,000 human refugee slaves, and the rest were kobolds, goblins, and gnolls.

Sixty thousand people were assigned to the eight-kilometer-long construction site. The brick kiln factory in Zhenbei City also began to mass-produce bricks and stones. Because residential houses are also being built, the amount of bricks and stones in Zhenbei City has surged, and there has been a shortage of supply.

While allowing the brick kiln to expand production, Su Lun transported rocks back from the quarry, but even so, the supply of bricks and stones was still tight. Faced with this situation, Su Lun had to use the previous version of housing construction, using soil thatch Build a house.

Although this kind of house is not beautiful, and the lighting is poor, it is easy to get wet in rainy days, but the thermal insulation is still very good. As long as these houses can survive this winter, they can wait until the supply of masonry and stone is sufficient before rebuilding the house.

The arrival of a large number of people has also made the living materials of Zhenbei City very tight. There is no shortage of food in Zhenbei City. There are enough potatoes, but the supply of meat is tight, and the human body needs to supplement some meat for a lot of labor. Su Lun used a lot of fish instead. Everyone gets a bowl of fish soup every day.

As for beef and mutton, don’t even think about it. Zhenbei City is now in serious shortage of beef and mutton. Su Lun has ordered a suspension of slaughtering beef and mutton. The cattle and sheep raised by centaurs have not yet been released. Su Lun is now buying a large amount of beef and mutton from caravans.

The soldiers in Zhenbei City are powerful, loyal, and disciplined, but they also have a disadvantage, that is, they consume a lot of meat. After all, a knight needs to eat at least half a catty of meat a day, and their strong physical fitness requires a lot of meat to provide energy.

It can be said that all the troops in Zhenbei City are big eaters. Su Lun feels liver pain when he sees the meat he consumes every day. A meal will consume at least dozens of cows and hundreds of sheep. Now there are only farms in Zhenbei City left. Some are used to breed cattle and sheep.

On meat alone, Suren spends nearly 10,000 jinnars every month.
