The detailed planning of Chang'an City has been implemented, and all you need to do is follow the map.
Of course, the amount of work is also very large.
"This large-scale sweep is expected to add 10,000 people to the territory, excluding the 3,200 people occupied by the City Guard Brigade. How are you going to arrange the rest?" Tang Jing asked Mr. Wu.
"I thought so."
Mr. Wu was not afraid and said with a smile: "After the big sweep, the nearly one thousand square kilometers of land south of the Mero River and east of the Gray Water River have essentially been included in the scope of territorial governance."
As can be seen from the construction of the city wall outside Chang'an City, "Star Bound" has its own set of intelligent algorithms.
There is no objection to the territorial area exceeding the boundaries.
"This is already equivalent to the size of a medium-sized county. It would be a waste of land if we just built Chang'an City or two or three subsidiary villages on the outskirts of the city."
"The delta area has fertile soil and abundant water resources. It would be a waste not to develop farming."
"My suggestion is that dozens or even hundreds of affiliated villages can be planned and constructed on the outskirts of Chang'an City and within the entire county."
"Let farmers reclaim their own land, grow food crops, and live and work in peace and contentment."
With the level of science and technology in ancient times, villagers could implement self-governance at the village level. They only needed to help build houses and distribute farm tools, rations and seeds, and basically didn't need to worry about anything else.
When the grain is mature, a tax collector is sent to the village to collect the grain.
The management cost is actually very low.
"Can."
Tang Jing agreed to Mr. Wu's suggestion.
Calculating the time, it is already mid-February. Once the village is completed and the land is reclaimed, it will be almost to the end of March, just in time for spring sowing.
If you miss this round of spring sowing, you will have to wait at least half a year.
If Chang'an City wants to achieve real "long-term peace and stability", it cannot rely 100% on external procurement for food. Who knows when the market will be cancelled?
It is obviously the safest for the territory to maintain a certain scale of cultivated land on its own.
We must keep the red line of farmland.
"In addition to the large-scale construction of auxiliary villages, the remaining strong labor force mainly goes to the construction team."
Mr. Wu continued to report.
"Brick kilns, tile kilns, and lime kilns have been put into operation one after another, and limestone mines have been successfully discovered on the outskirts of the city. The construction of the outer city can enter the fast lane, and the construction team urgently needs to increase manpower."
"yes."
Tang Jing nodded, "Only with the sycamore tree can we attract the golden phoenix."
Chang'an City wants to attract a large number of players to settle in. It is not enough to just build an outer city wall. The internal construction must also keep up. Ultimately, it must build a prosperous city with complete facilities.
On one side is a prosperous metropolis, on the other is a dilapidated town.
Which one to choose?
With comparison, there is no need to worry about talents not coming.
From Mr. Wu's report, Tang Jing also noticed that the current industry in Chang'an City is still very weak and cannot support more people working and living in the city.
That’s why we need to divert traffic to affiliated villages and construction teams.
In order to maintain subsequent population growth, finding new industries has become a top priority.
But it's not easy.
Take the textile industry as an example. The source of all development depends on weaving. Silk requires the development of supporting sericulture, cotton requires cotton, and linen also requires the cultivation of jute and other crops.
Without supporting agriculture, the textile industry is just a castle in the air.
Even if the lords enter the village stage, they will give priority to planting food crops to solve the problem of hunger first, and then consider planting cotton, jute and other cash crops.
Even if Changan wants to purchase on a large scale in the market, it won't work.
The same is true for the vinegar-making, sugar-making, tobacco, tea-making, oil-pressing, soy products and other non-staple food processing industries. Without stable raw material procurement channels, normal operations cannot be maintained.
The only thing that works.
Smelting, wood product processing and other industries will also be the focus of Chang'an City's future development.
The two were chatting.
Qin Shuang knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Sir, the special team members squatting at the foot of Chaoxia Mountain have just sent news that the orc army in Black Wind Village has gone down the mountain."
"So fast?"
Tang Jing was a little surprised, thinking he would have to wait another two days, "How many people are there?"
"About five thousand, including tauren, pig-headed men, trolls, jackals, ratmen, goblins, lizardmen, orcs and other races, and there is even a Behemoth."
"Behemoth, how is it possible?"
Tang Jing was even more unbelievable, "Can a Black Wind Village support the Behemoth beast?"
"It's magical, but it's also true."
Qin Shuang was as calm as ever, "The special forces also reported that the orc army also brought siege vehicles, ladders and other siege equipment. It seems that they are well prepared."
"You really think highly of us."
Tang Jing was fortunate that he decisively launched the second round of sweeps, allowing the City Guard Brigade to expand again.
otherwise.
It's really difficult to deal with it just with the previous strength.
"It's okay to come."
Tang Jing was not discouraged and turned to look at Mr. Wu, "After this battle is completed and the hidden dangers of Heifeng Village are eliminated, we can build the affiliated villages with peace of mind."
"yes."
Mr. Wu nodded and said nothing.
………
In the evening, when the troops who went out to clean up returned, Tang Jing summoned the generals to revise the battle plan that had been discussed before based on the first-hand intelligence of the orc army.
All generals have a consensus——
Although the invading orc army is larger than expected and better prepared, it is not difficult to defend it.
"The difficult thing is, how to kill the orcs as much as possible?"
The orcs are not stupid. Once the attack on the city fails, they may retreat on their own.
But it won't really give up.
Maybe one day, more orcs will gather and attack.
There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
More importantly, Tang Jing also hopes that through this battle, he can wipe out the Black Wind Village's home base in one fell swoop, obtain enough crystal cores and rare props, and lay the foundation for the next development of Chang'an City.
Otherwise, why would we get more people?
"If you want to achieve maximum damage, you cannot deploy all your troops inside the city. You need to ambush one or two surprise troops outside the city to intercept the enemy's attack." Zheng Gaoshun of the trapped camp camp said.
"I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle."
Qin Shuang interjected, "There are wild wolves watching outside Chang'an City all the time, and the orcs have a keen sense of smell. If you want to hide a large army outside the city, it will be easily noticed by the orcs in advance."
"What if we hide in the city? For example, in the outer city."
"It's not easy to hide in the outer city, right?"
"OK…"
Tang Jing smiled and said his method.
"That's doable."
All the generals nodded in unison, "In this case, the outer city wall must be abandoned directly."
"If you give up, just give up."
Tang Jing was very decisive, "The previous battle with the jackals has proved that the orcs cannot be stopped by just a pile of stones. You have to rely on the city wall."
"That's true."
After reaching a consensus, the generals began to discuss specific combat arrangements.
………
The orcs move very quickly.
At about 9:30 a.m. the next day, he appeared in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City.
Vast and vast.
An army of five thousand in size, marching, is enough to shake the mountains.
A large area of darkness.
Looking around, the orcs were all energetic and ferocious. In order to overwhelm the humans with their momentum, they even deliberately beat their chests or hit their shields with their weapons.
Make a loud noise.
In the army formation, under the black banner, surrounded by a group of tauren warriors, it was Saka, the eldest brother of Sarn and the leader of the Black Wind Village.
Wearing black heavy infantry armor, he looks even more burly and sturdy.
Like a warrior emerging from hell.
“The city is really being built”
Looking at the pile of stones not far away, stretching to the east and west sides with no end in sight, Saka had a solemn expression.
We really have to wait until the city is built.
The sudden appearance of human territory in front of us will become the biggest threat to the surrounding orcs.
Be sure to wipe it out in one fell swoop!
This is why Saka not only sent Black Wind Village out in force this time, but also specifically contacted the two bandit camps in Chaoxia Mountain to send out troops together.
Not just to avenge his stupid brother Sarn.
"Brother, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Isn't it just a human territory?" Seeing this, Sarn on the side still showed his disdain for the human race.
I completely forgot about the nightmare I encountered not long ago.
"madness!"
Saka shouted angrily, "I've fallen down twice, don't you have a long memory?"
He doesn't think so.
The human territory defeated the jackal army and the bandit camp one after another, all due to luck.
There must be something else to rely on.
"Hey, how can my bandit camp compare with your Black Wind Stronghold? This time, the guardian has reduced the human territory in front of me to ruins." Sarn didn't care, and was even eager to try.
