011 Branch City

Lu Ming's meaningful look made Chen Yan realize what flaw Chen Xiaoqiang had exposed.

So when he walked away, Chen Yan carried the doghouse into his bedroom, and then started tumbling around. Finally he saw classmate Xiaoqiang's penis, and he was dumbfounded.

Instinctively, I wanted to find scissors, but in the end I found a diaper and put it in her pocket.

Yes, diapers specifically for puppies.

I rarely use it at ordinary times, but I think I will use it every day in the future.

Chen Xiaoqiang was still fast asleep, not knowing what he had experienced...

Throughout the day, Chen Yan basically didn't get much rest.

Because there are so many things going on, I can’t take a break even if I want to.

It wasn’t until nightfall that I really had some free time. I quickly took a quick nap and headed to the King’s Castle at ten o’clock in the evening...

Standing in the main hall of the city, Chen Yan heard a loud bugle sound coming from outside, followed by high-pitched and powerful commands and the sound of uniform footsteps.

Looking out, I saw a group of armored soldiers marching past the hall door, numbering about a hundred.

This should be the newly established city defense force. They may have predicted that Chen Yan would appear at this time, so they deliberately walked back and forth in front of the city main hall.

Sure enough, Foreman Chen was standing at the door. When he saw Chen Yan, he immediately called out, and all the officials, both civil and military, stumbled over as if they had emerged from the ground.

"Long live the city lord, long live..." He was about to kowtow and salute again, but Chen Yan waved his hand to stop him, "Okay, don't waste time. Is Yang Zongyue back?"

"Report to the Lord of the City that he has not returned yet."

"Push the sand tray over here!"

"yes!"

Foreman Chen waved, and several guards came over pushing a huge sand table.

This sand table has been around since the day the city main hall was built.

In the middle of the sand table is the location of the King's Castle.

Every detail of the city's architecture is clearly reflected, including the surrounding terrain, mineral deposits, farmland and other crop distribution.

At this moment, I saw a blue trace going straight to the top of the sand table in the north direction of the city. It was the footprints left by Yang Zongyue when he was exploring the road.

I saw that he had already broken through the hundred-mile restricted area, walked almost a thousand miles north, and then stopped at the seaside.

Yes, the northern end is the sea.

But I saw rough waves, rolling waves, schools of fish swimming in the sea from time to time, and seabirds flying in the sky.

Yang Zongyue's footsteps stayed here for a moment, and then headed east along the coastline.

After running almost a thousand miles again, we arrived at the edge of the East China Sea.

The farthest point to the east is also the sea.

Then Comrade Lao Yang, who didn't know whether he was inspired by poetry or was inspired by poetry, actually used his fingers to write a poem on a huge rock on the beach.

Chen Yan leaned over and looked carefully, and found that it was Cao Cao's "Guan Cang Sea" - facing the Jieshi to the east, to view the sea. Where is the water, how is the water, and where are the mountains and islands...

Well, it quite fits the mood of the moment.

After that, Yang Zongyue continued walking along the coastline to the farthest end of the south. At this moment, he had passed that point and was heading west.

How dare you be surrounded by the sea on three sides, north, southeast?

The same goes for making trouble in Ximian.

Chen Yan finally understood why the King's City had never been invaded by foreign enemies in the past 160 years. It turned out to be on an island.

All the civil and military officials also saw the clue. At this moment, they exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time showed happy smiles on their faces.

Immediately, all smiles froze.

"Why, you feel like you can sit back and relax again, right? You can spend the day and night having fun again, right?" Chen Yan's eyes were like daggers, and his tone was cold, "Whoever thinks this way, please get out of here right now." go out!"

Plop!

All the officials knelt on the ground, not daring to express their anger.

"What does it mean to be prepared for danger in times of peace? What does it mean to forget the battle and be destroyed? If you don't have this string in your heart, you are not worthy of being an official!" Chen Yan scolded, while gently sweeping his hand on the sand table.

What was originally just an ordinary landform on the sand table suddenly revealed many never-before-seen mineral resources and detailed geographical environment.

Yes, after Yang Zongyue explored the three farthest ends of the north and southeast, nearly two-thirds of the unknown areas on the sand table can be directly cleared with the hands of the city lord.

Of course, beasts and the like cannot be seen.

Even potential enemies need to be seen on site to know.

However, the King's City has not been attacked for so many years, so there should be no other races of humans on the island.

But what about outside the island?

If one day a powerful fleet comes with a powerful army, it may be difficult for a single royal city to resist.

So, it's time to build a branch city.

In fact, Dawangcheng has already met the conditions for opening a branch city, because both manpower and material resources are sufficient to support this project.

But because it was still impossible to break through the hundred-mile restricted area, this plan was shelved.

"Lord City Lord, I think...should we build a branch city?" Leader Chen is indeed the leader of the city. He has already seen Chen Yan's thoughts, and he raised his head and said cautiously.

hehe!

Chen Yan laughed, pointed to the sand table and said, "Where will it be built?"

"The north side is good, uh... no, the east side is better." Foreman Chen stood up and looked at the sand table while peeking at Chen Yan's expression, "How about... the south side. Well, the south side is better."

In fact, all three directions are possible, there is no one that is better or worse.

But if you really have to choose, Chen Yan thinks the north is the most suitable.

Because Yang Zongyue has already walked that path.

When he passed the hundred-mile restricted area, he was attacked by ferocious beasts. As a result, he became so aggressive that he killed all the beasts in that area.

Therefore, the safety aspect of sending out the construction team now is guaranteed.

"There!" Chen Yan pointed to a plain about five hundred miles away from the city to the north and said: "The mineral deposits, products, and the direction of the river here are similar to those of Dawang City. It is the most ideal place to build a branch city."

"Yes, yes, it is indeed a good place." Foreman Chen immediately agreed, and the officials nodded frequently.

Chen Yan took out the task manual, turned to the page of branch city construction, and directly stamped the city lord's seal on it. Then he waved his right hand, and a golden light shot towards Foreman Chen. He immediately turned over and knelt down, saying, "Old minister, take orders!"

"All officials serve!" Others were still kneeling and quickly agreed.

"It's time for you to serve. This mission requires a large enough army to escort us. If the common people provide manpower, you can provide military strength. All adult men from every family will serve as soldiers in the military camp.

The military generals go into battle in person, and they are not allowed to go home until the branch city is built. The same goes for the civil servants. They all go to the construction sites to work, and don't think about living happily in the royal city!"

ah……

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

In the past, even if there was any big project to be done, it was all handled by one person. Once the work was done, you could go home and sleep.

It's better now, everyone goes to work on the construction site, and they are not allowed to go home until the construction is completed. What is the difference between that and the migrant workers?

"I'll say it again, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it lasts only a moment. In the past, I could turn a blind eye when you indulged in drunkenness and tyranny. But now, whoever dares to be lazy and playful, don't blame me for being rude. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen... hear clearly..."

"Foreman Chen, the mission document is in your hand, which is like a sword. If anyone dares to disobey your orders, you can kill him first and then report him! Then, I will help you kill his whole family." Chen Yan walked up to Foreman Chen and bent down. He patted his shoulder lightly, "Do you hear me clearly?"

"Clear...clear..." The old man was sweating like rain, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"In that case, what are you still doing here? What are you still doing here?"

boom!

All civil and military officials jumped up and ran out as if running for their lives...

Chen Yan sneered and shook his head, his eyes returned to the sand table.

Simply sending the troops from the city to escort them might not be enough. After all, these soldiers are used to being carefree. If they really encounter a tough battle, they will probably piss themselves off before the fight begins.

So Yang Zongyue must be asked to help.

So I took out the mission manual, turned to the column of heroic missions, and gave Yang Zongyue the latest mission - to defend the construction site of the branch city. He was not allowed to leave until he received the new mission!

He stamped the city lord's seal, waved his right hand, and a golden light shot out.

Looking at Yang Zongyue on the sand table, he suddenly raised his right hand and waved it to express receipt.

Woohoo!

The rally horn sounded outside.

In an instant, the whole city seemed to have turned over, with all kinds of chaotic and noisy sounds coming from every corner.

Chen Yan heard Foreman Chen reading out the city lord's orders loudly, and the officials were also giving various instructions to his subordinates, each with a tone that was more urgent and severe than the last.

The response from the common people seemed to be quite enthusiastic, with cheers heard from time to time.

After all, the population limit of the King's City has been reached long ago. If the branch city is not opened, the newly added population will have no place to live.

Chen Yan turned around and walked towards the dragon case. When he got there, he picked up a silver bell and shook it gently.

The sound of light footsteps came from the west side hall. I turned around and saw several young women in official uniforms walking quickly. After entering the hall, they immediately turned over and knelt down, shouting long live.

These are all female officials, and they have been there since the day the city main hall was built.

I usually do some clerical and record-keeping work in the side hall and do not participate in government affairs.

The foreman's name is Chen Yunniang. She is the youngest daughter of foreman Chen. She is only seventeen years old this year.

She looks pretty and pleasant, and has a very low-key personality. She doesn't do anything that goes against the rules just because her father is the boss. She doesn't talk much and quietly does her job well.

"Yun Niang, your father led hundreds of officials to build a branch city. From now on, you will be responsible for the daily management of the royal city. Are you willing?" Chen Yan asked.

Yun Niang prostrated, lowered her head, and said softly: "I..."

"Promise me!"

"I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, there is no one else but you." Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "That's it. You work hard. If you do well, I won't praise you, but if you don't do well, I will punish you heavily. you!"

"I...take the order!"

Chen Yan walked over, looked at Yun Niang sideways, and said, "Do you know about Yang Zongyue?"

"I know."

"Next time, if someone like Yang Zongyue comes to this city, you must take him to the Heavenly King Tower, but there is no need to inform the pilgrims in the tower in advance, do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay!" Chen Yan nodded slightly, "Now there are only old, young, women and children left in the city. We must not relax in the city defense. You can build a team of female soldiers to assist the remaining city defense forces in guarding the King's City. Do you understand?"

It was another arduous task, and Yun Niang was sweating on her forehead, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed: "I accept my order!"

Chen Yan took out the appointment document from his briefcase, turned around and walked back to Long'an. He paused when he reached for the brush, and then picked up the ink pen.

Whoosh whoosh!

He wrote the letter of appointment in a hurry and threw it to Yun Niang.

But when she saw a flash of golden light, Yun Niang's official uniform had changed from the ninth-grade uniform to the fourth-grade uniform. She could no longer contain her excitement and shouted "Long Live Long Live" and kowtowed several times.
