"Is there any progress in Chang'an City's outer city planning?" Tang Jing asked.
"some."
Mr. Wu also came prepared and unfolded a hand-drawn master plan of Chang'an City on the spot. The designer was Zheng Yimin, a graduate student majoring in urban planning from the Department of Urban Construction.
According to the plan, Chang'an City is roughly in the shape of a square with a side length of ten kilometers.
Only in the northwest corner of the city, because it is close to the Mero River, and the city wall is planned to be built along the river bank, at first glance, it looks like a small corner has been cut off.
The entire city plan is generally based on the historical Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be seen that Zheng Yimin understood Tang Jing's long-cherished wish.
In addition to the outer city wall, Zheng Yimin also surveyed and determined the most suitable location for building docks and docks on the banks of the Merlo River on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and set the benchmark for the construction of a water transport hub.
"This saves trouble."
Tang Jing took out the architectural drawings of the tall city wall, the medium-sized dock building and the medium-sized wharf that he had just obtained, and compared them with the master plan to confirm the construction.
The massive amounts of wood and stone accumulated in the territory were consumed almost instantly.
[Medium-sized shipyard: can build various types of small and medium-sized ships, construction conditions: 30,000 units of stone + 20,000 units of wood, construction time: fifteen days]
[Medium-sized wharf: can be used to berth all kinds of small and medium-sized ships, construction conditions: 50,000 units of stone + 50,000 units of wood, construction time: twenty days]
[Tall city wall: A tall city wall of twelve meters high can be built. The required building materials and construction time will be calculated based on the perimeter of the city wall]
"The plan for the tall city wall has been confirmed, and the supply list is being calculated!"
"Building materials: 10 million units of stone, 1 million units of wood."
"Construction time: one hundred and eighty days."
[During construction, it is necessary to ensure adequate supply of building materials, otherwise the construction period will be delayed]
Good guy!
The three buildings are all first-class major projects, especially the outer city wall of Chang'an City, which not only requires tens of millions of units of stone, but the construction period is as long as half a year.
The building materials have been gathered together, but the key is time. After half a year, the day lilies will probably be cold.
Even if Chang'an City has the blessings of "Light of National War" and "Great Construction", the construction speed has been increased by 75%, it still takes one hundred and three days.
"Fortunately, there are props."
Tang Jing smiled and took out the building accelerator card and locked on the outer city wall.
"use!"
Under the acceleration of the props, the construction time of the outer city wall was directly reduced to just ten days, which was only slightly slower than the dock, and even completed earlier than the dock.
It is truly a construction miracle.
"call!"
After completing the construction of the outer city wall, Tang Jing breathed a long sigh of relief.
This means.
In ten days, Chang'an City will truly stand in the wilderness of the River Valley Province.
Even if it's just an empty shell...
"There is also a military horse farm. Where do you think it should be built?"
General Tang Jing handed the architectural drawings of the racecourse to Mr. Wu and warned, "Hurry up."
There are now more than 160 war horses in the territory, and a cavalry battalion will be established in the future. There will definitely be more war horses. It is not enough to keep them in stables. There must be a special military horse farm for them.
"This is quite simple."
However, Mr. Wu was confident and explained: "The outer city of Chang'an City covers an area of about 98 square kilometers and can accommodate nearly one million non-agricultural people. It will definitely not be built in a short period of time."
A conservative estimate is that it will take one or two years.
Even though the population of Chang'an Village is doubling at every turn now, once the population exceeds 10,000 or even 100,000, the population growth rate will tend to be slow.
If you want to double it again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
"My idea is to temporarily shelve the development and construction of Nancheng District and turn it into an agricultural production area. In addition to building military horse farms, it can also open up vegetable planting bases, poultry, and livestock breeding bases."
"Work hard to solve the problem of vegetable and meat supply for the people in Chang'an City."
Nancheng District covers an area of about 24 square kilometers. Even if only half of the area is planned as an agricultural production area, it will still be 18,000 acres of land.
Definitely big enough.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Having a right-hand man like Mr. Wu who considers everything in advance really saves Tang Jing a lot of trouble.
"Right."
Tang Jing thought of another thing, "This time we defeated the bandit camp and obtained another batch of crystal cores. It is expected that we will attract five to six thousand refugees. How do you think we will arrange them?"
"There is definitely no room for housing in the inner city, and it has become saturated."
Mr. Wu thought for a moment and said: "However, as mentioned just now, military horse farms, vegetable planting bases, and livestock and poultry breeding bases all require a large number of people."
"There are also brick kilns, tile kilns and ceramic workshops built in the outer city, which can also attract a group of people."
"In the future, we can also consider moving all the breweries, carpentry workshops, clothing workshops, etc. in the inner city to the outer city to form a true handicraft area."
"Only the most important weapons workshops that need to be kept secret are reserved in the inner city."
"That's good."
After listening to Mr. Wu's plan, Tang Jing was also convinced. According to this view, not to mention five or six thousand new people, even ten or twenty thousand people could be accommodated.
The more the merrier!
………
After finishing the affairs in the territory, Tang Jing had time to deal with personal matters.
The Forbidden Mage was successfully upgraded to level 11, adding two more spell slots and allowing him to learn two new spells.
After some screening.
Tang Jing quickly locked onto two mid-level spells - Sand Spirit Guardian and Inspiration.
[Inspiration: Intermediate level, improves the morale and combat effectiveness of friendly forces within a radius of 100 meters to a certain extent]
Sand Spirit Guard System defensive spells have the dual characteristics of physical defense and spell defense. The key is that they have high growth potential and are definitely the first choice for taboo mages to save their lives.
Inspiration, as an auxiliary spell, is tailor-made for the battlefield.
[Name]: Tang Jing (Third Viscount)
[Occupation]: Lord level 8 (400/2900), forbidden mage level 11 (250/10000)
After the Forbidden Mage reaches level 11, the passive skill mana recovery also increases to level 2.
Due to the large-scale construction work in the territory, the lord profession has been upgraded to level 8 without realizing it. With the improvement of professional level, Tang Jing not only has more than 1,000 mana, but his strength has also been upgraded to the second level.
Barely able to fight.
………
After learning the spell, Tang Jing opened his circle of friends and prepared to deal with the crystal nuclei harvested this time, including 200 level 1 crystal nuclei, 75 level 2 crystal nuclei, and 10 level 3 crystal nuclei.
There are also 10 level 1 crystal cores and 2 level 2 crystal cores obtained during the last sweep.
As for the market.
As another batch of lords were promoted to villages, props such as architectural drawings have become hot commodities, and it is difficult to miss them in the market.
Transactions are often completed through internal channels.
Level 1 crystal cores are still the old rules, and professions such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and tailors will draw one out of five. Other rare professions such as grooms, doctors, brewers, shipbuilders, sailors, etc. will be directly exchanged for one.
But even farmers, as long as they have children, can exchange for a level 1 crystal core as a family.
But he was worried that the system would not recognize the gnoll cubs.
Even if it is approved, primary schools and middle schools will be built in the future. Where will the students come from?
We can only prepare for a rainy day.
As for the level 2 crystal cores, they are still in very short supply at the moment, and they are still available only once per 100.
Level 3 crystal cores are not for sale for the time being.
As soon as the circle of friends was posted, there were countless replies.
"I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up (crying)"
"Boss Tang is such a great savior. Three refugees have died in the past two days and nothing has been gained..."
“I got a groom the day before yesterday and I’ve been keeping him (laughs)”
"Why does Mr. Tang want a child? Don't you think it's a burden?"
"I heard that Boss Tang is still recruiting kindergarten teachers in Folding City. I guess it is needed to upgrade the territory."
"Haha, Boss Tang who was despised by Folding City..."
To this day, it is very difficult for ordinary lords to obtain crystal cores, especially level 2 crystal cores. If there are no warriors who have changed professions, then they really have to fight for their character.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that participating in the lottery is more promising.
Because there were too many crystal cores, the drawing was continued until 5 pm, and the new round of crazy lottery came to an end, bringing a population of more than 8,500 to Chang'an Village.
This includes nearly 800 craftsmen and more than 50 rare talents.
For example, the grooms, horse trainers, sailors, shipbuilders, etc. who were urgently needed in Chang'an Village were all recruited by relying on the vast power of the circle of friends.
There are even special beings such as Taoist priests and monks.
The arrival of this group of people also laid a solid foundation for the next stage of development of Chang'an.
