Chapter 1227 Current Situation in Shacheng

On the afternoon of August 9, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yan finally brought 200 fifth-level palace guards to the gate of the northeastern city of Shacheng. However, the queue entering the city at the northeastern gate of Shacheng was at least 500 meters away, leaving Qu Mao

and Su Yan were stunned.

Of course, the fifth-level palace guards were there, so Qu Mao and Su Yan naturally did not need to queue up slowly to enter the sand city. The officers of the fifth-level palace guards directly stepped forward to negotiate with the officers of the sand city guards. Soon, the soldiers of the sand city guards arrived.

The officer came to Qu Mao and Su Yan and personally led Qu Mao and Su Yan into the Shacheng.

After passing through the northeastern gate of Shacheng, Qu Mao and Su Yan found that not only there was a long queue in the direction of entering Shacheng, but also the residents in Shacheng who passed through the northeastern gate and exited Shacheng also lined up in a long queue. From a distance, the length of the queue was

No less than 500 meters.

You must know that the side length of the city wall of Shacheng is only 1.5 kilometers, so Qu Mao frowned and said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, it seems that the city wall of Shacheng has become the main culprit blocking traffic inside and outside Shacheng."

Su Yan nodded and said: "Sir, Shacheng itself is not big, the city wall is only 1.5 kilometers long. When it was originally built, it was not considered that Shacheng would gather such a large population.

Along the way, there is almost no arable land within a 10-kilometer radius around Shacheng. It is better for us to turn the wall-protected part of Shacheng into a complete government area, or simply remove the city wall.

Now it is completely different from the original intention of building Shacheng. At first, Shacheng belonged to the border and was an independent territory that had just been captured. But now Shacheng is in the hinterland of the independent territories in the Eastern Continent, and the Gilead Kingdom has also become the bastion of the Tassel Empire.

As a province, it is of little military significance for Shacheng to continue to maintain its walls."

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after we see the city lord."

After the two entered the sand city, the sand city was also bustling with pedestrians. The war horses could no longer ride, so Qu Mao and Su Yan handed over the war horses to the fifth-level palace guards. A large number of fifth-level palace guards were also guarding the sand city.

After receiving the reception, they entered the military camp to rest. Only 10 fifth-level palace guards accompanying Qu Mao and Su Yan walked to protect Qu Mao and Su Yan.

Fortunately, the distance between the Shacheng City Lord's Palace and the northeast gate of Shacheng was less than 1 kilometer. After Qu Mao and Su Yan arrived at the City Lord's Palace, they immediately ordered the soldiers of the Shacheng Guards to go to the city hall to call back the Shacheng City Lord.

Su Yan sighed and said: "Tear it down, demolish all the walls of Shacheng, and see if there is a need to build new walls further away in Shacheng..."

Seeing the Lord of Shacheng rushing back, Qu Mao gently put the tea cup on the coffee table aside and asked: "How is the situation in Shacheng now?

The Lord of Shacheng replied respectfully: "Sir, since Yidao Weekly publicized the discovery of coal in the southeast of Shacheng in the second half of the sixth year of Tianxuan, Shacheng has become lively.

When I first entered the city, I found that it was extremely inconvenient to get in and out of the city. There were long queues of no less than 500 meters in both directions, which would affect the development of Shacheng."

In the desert northwest and west of Shacheng, 3 iron mines and 2 copper mines have been discovered, and they are currently being mined urgently. The number of mining workers gathered there is only much more than that of coal mines.

Qu Mao waved his hand and interjected: "Su Yan, there is no need to continue to build the city wall of Shacheng. Just assign the soldiers of the original Shacheng guard force to patrol in each edge area in small teams. You can also recruit some of the original residents.

, just form a militia force to ensure security around Shacheng."

After all, the application of coal and the industrial chain derived from coal were proposed by you personally, so entrepreneurs and businessmen are flocking to Shacheng.

After all, the city wall is a military facility, and my subordinates dare not act without permission. Now that the city is blocked, my subordinates are very anxious."

For the management of this kind of city where a large number of residents gather, my subordinates are really overwhelmed, so I have the audacity to apply to you. Among the college graduates who graduated in the spring of the eighth year, please allow me to recruit some college graduates to serve as Shacheng.

Administrative work.”

The Lord of Shacheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, sir! Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, and my subordinates followed suit."

Not only that, the cultivated land around Shacheng is also generally purchased by businessmen and entrepreneurs from all over the country to build metallurgical factories, coking plants, etc., which are matched with a large number of shops and residences.

Various businessmen are building metal smelting companies around Shacheng. There are a total of 37 factories of various sizes that extract metals from metal ores. The total number of metallurgical workers is no less than 100,000. Counting their families, the total number is probably 30

More than 10,000.

At the beginning of this year, there were rumors that the Prince of Gillette and Shacheng would be merged into the Liusu Empire and become the Province of Gillette of the Liusu Empire. Their subordinates submitted an application to the Province of Gillette to demolish the walls of Shacheng, but it has not yet been approved.

Originally, the total number of permanent residents and troops in Shacheng was about 50,000. Now, there are no less than 200,000 steel merchants, coal merchants, coal mine owners, metal mine owners, miners' associations, entrepreneurs and other people living in the city.

People.

Nowadays, a total of 8 coal mines that can be mined directly have been found in the southeast, south, southwest, and east areas of Shacheng. There are also some coal mines that are more difficult to mine. The city government has not sold them to the outside world and is still in the hands of the city government.

Eight coal mines that can be mined directly are already under intense mining. Each coal mine has at least 5,000 coal miners, and their family members numbering no less than 20,000.

When the Lord of Shacheng rushed back to the Lord's Mansion out of breath, Qu Mao and Su Yan were already drinking tea in the Lord's Mansion.

In the northeast and due north of Shacheng, because it is close to the former King's City of Jiliehou, a large number of residential buildings have been built. Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Shacheng and its surroundings, so there are many enterprises that serve residents' lives. These are established by local residents.

Mostly.

A few days ago, my subordinates made special statistics that 890,000 residents have gathered in Shacheng and within a radius of 8 kilometers outside the city wall of Shacheng, and a large number of residents flock to the surrounding areas of Shacheng every day, preparing to enter coal mines or metal mineral smelting enterprises.

At work, my subordinates are having a headache over this matter.

Qu Mao nodded and said: "This is indeed necessary. Not only can you apply by yourself, but you can also organize large enterprises in Shacheng to go to the Holy Land to participate in the double election of college graduates at the end of the seventh year of Tianxuan. It's too late to start, and I'm afraid the university

The graduates will be distributed internally among the core heroes left behind in the Holy Land.

Shacheng can be used as a template for a modern industrial city to be promoted throughout the Yigong territory."

The Lord of Shacheng was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your support! Thank you for your support, Your Majesty the Queen!"

It's already August now, so my subordinates will immediately contact powerful companies to prepare for participating in the double selection meeting for university graduates in the Holy Land."
Chapter completed!
