Chapter 440 Beating
In two days, 61 farmers worked 16 hours a day each.
With unlimited provision of resources and gold coins, at least three large warehouses in Qingfeng City were evacuated.
A total of 120 houses, 5 small warehouses and a large wall were built to surround the mining town and quarry.
Taking these horse thieves as miners is a punishment.
This wall is not used to defend against foreign enemies, but simply to prevent the miners from escaping.
Only those who have been released from prison are eligible to obtain passes and can freely enter and leave the mining town.
As for the transportation of ore, it is left to the recruited farmers, so that only a small number of farmers are needed to fully support the operation of the mining town.
Even if miners are released after serving their sentences in the future, Mining Town has a stable output of 20 farmers every month, and this town will only get bigger and bigger in the future.
It just so happened that Miner Town consumed a lot of resources, and the caravan also took away a warehouse of goods.
Now caravans and horse thieves are arriving one after another, bringing a large amount of resources, which are stored in the nearby warehouse of Qingfeng City.
However, with the amount of resources brought back this time, after filling all the warehouses in Qingfeng City, there is still a lot leftover.
With no other choice, Xu Lai had to let people pile up all the wood, stones and other resources obtained from destroying the village in the open space.
Qingfeng City will definitely develop into a castle-level city in the future.
Even the smallest castle-level city has at least tens of thousands of residents. Add in the city hall, large market, magic guild and other buildings, and the area must be thousands of square kilometers.
Qingfeng City has been expanded once before, and that time was hosted by Su Ya, which happened to be around the time when the base camp was upgraded.
It was also the upgrade that included Gram Town, so that Qingfeng City would not be too empty.
But Xu Lai’s proposal of covering an area of thousands of square kilometers still shocked Su Ya.
You know, even the expanded base camp only lengthens, widens, and thickens the city wall.
The total added length is only a few kilometers long, and after encirclement, it will increase the land by more than ten square kilometers.
If Xu Lai's plan is followed, a rectangle covering an area of thousands of square kilometers will be exactly 50 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide.
Now all the city walls of Qingfeng City are added together, which is less than 20 kilometers, and the total length of the city walls required for this rectangular shape is a full 140 kilometers.
Moreover, after upgrading to a castle-level city, the city walls can also be upgraded again, up to a reinforced castle wall.
For a city wall of this level, the width at the bottom must be at least 30 meters, so that the width of the top layer can reach 15 meters.
In terms of height, an ordinary castle must be more than 12 meters, and an enhanced castle must be at least 15 meters.
In other words, just upgrading the existing city wall section will consume an astronomical number of resources such as wood and stone.
The length of these walls must be increased to 140 kilometers, which is longer than the length of the walls of King Aled's Emerald City. Su Ya doesn't even know what to think about the resources required.
Xu Lai said with a smile: "We haven't upgraded yet. We can expand first, and then upgrade the city walls after we have collected enough Castle Hearts to upgrade."
Copycat Xu Lai had already put the large amount of gold and silver obtained in the treasury into the treasury, so most of what these horse thieves sent up were wood, stones and other resources.
Xu Lai did not leave a supply truck for them, but the horse thieves had many horses, and a large number of temporary carriages could be built by modifying the dismantled wooden boards in the village.
As for Giselle, Xu Lai left a large number of supply trucks for her, but the resources she brought back were all bought by Xu Lai.
Judging from the resources of the grassland, the price of these timber and ores is already comparable to that of food.
So, Su Ya felt really distressed when Xu Lai wanted to build such a big city.
Xu Lai said with a smile: "I didn't say it was going to be built all at once, it was just a plan.
If we can't build one with more than 1,000 square kilometers, let's build one with 200 square kilometers first. The next section is our castle area, which is considered an inner city where only our family lives.
Those that are expanded outside will be used as outer cities in the future. "
Su Ya complained silently: "What do you think of a 200 square kilometer castle.
Do you have to run all day to see each other every day? "
If it were placed on the earth, it would be more than ten kilometers long. Xu Lai would not say running for a day, but probably half a day. After all, would you like to walk and take a break?
Now, of course, it doesn’t need to be like this. Exaggeration, with his current agility, he can run back and forth in one meal.
Even if you go around the city once, it only takes two more mouthfuls of food.
“This is just a plan, and it’s not done for sure. The specific how to do it is of course subject to the actual conditions.
I just want to tell you that there will be more quantity updates soon. A lot of materials need to be transported, don’t be stingy like the last time the city was expanded.”
Su Ya pouted and said: “Why do you want to be stingy? Is there just so much material? I don’t want to.” It's what those profiteers wanted."
Xu Lai laughed and ignored her. He was just talking about it anyway. When it came time to actually do it, Su Ya had to do it.
If Xu Lai still knew what he was doing when he built a city for the first time.
After upgrading to the base camp, integrating Gram Town, and building several new streets and large markets, Xu Lai was no longer familiar with Qingfeng City. If we want to expand again, how should we build it and in which direction?
How wide can it be built, how high can it be increased, how many arrow towers, how many observation towers, and how many launching pads can be added?
Xu Lai's eyes were completely blank, he didn't know anything and couldn't understand anything.
After discussing the general plan with Su Ya, Xu Lai gave it all to Su Ya, whether it was resources or upgrades.
He himself put down a lot of mining towns that had been built, so naturally he had more important things to do.
He first asked Giselle to take the young man named Naru, who was Bello's eldest son, down to rest.
Then, he took Wei Yihong, Urdola, Aiboka and others to the base camp.
Since the establishment of the base camp, Xu Lai, Su Ya and their original courtyards have been moved to the base camp.
The council was given to Lacy, Aaron, and Little Abokar.
Xu Lai brought Wei Yihong and others to his base camp instead of the official parliament hall, which in itself shows his trust in these people.
Harris, who has become Xu Lai's housekeeper, has already prepared everything. He brings several carefully selected maids to serve tea to several people one by one.
"Harris, stop working and prepare more food later. I'll treat you all to lunch today."
Harris said with a smile on his face: "No problem, my lord. , I won’t bother you.”
After saying that, Harris helped Xu Lai and the others close the door, and then retreated outside.
Xu Lai sat down on the main seat and slowly crossed his legs.
He was not used to serious occasions, but this formal invitation seemed to make the atmosphere serious unintentionally.
Seeing Xu Lai's legs crossed, the people sitting down breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to the few people called by Xu Lai, Lazi, Aaron and others also came over early to wait.
"I've been away from home all year round, so I have to thank you all for everything at home. I want to thank you all here."
Xu Lai said first with a smile on his face.
Uldola and the others' anxious hearts finally calmed down a little.
However, Wei Yihong's heart skipped a beat. This tone was so similar to his previous boss.
His previous boss, before criticizing or dismissing you, would always say something nice first, and then pour cold water on you when you were secretly happy.
"Lord, you can't say that. If you hadn't brought such a huge amount of resources to Qingfeng City through your expeditions, how could our Qingfeng City develop so well.
Let me tell you, you Your contribution comes first," Little Aboka said impatiently.
Wei Yihong frowned. It stands to reason that among the people present, he and Lacy have the highest status.
He is the Minister of Commerce and is in charge of the economic lifeline of Qingfeng City, although his income is completely incomparable to what Xu Lai brought back.
And Lacy is the current Speaker. Any administrative decision in Qingfeng City, except for Su Ya, must be approved by Lacy.
Before either of them could speak, this guy was rushing to speak.
Wei Yihong felt contempt in his heart, but as a descendant, he was unwilling to argue with these natives.
In the entire Qingfeng City, Dong Shuqin is the only woman who can understand his jokes and his words.
"Those are all false. I came to see you today mainly because we haven't been together for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to get together.
In addition, it is also because the recent news is always Leaked.
Whether it was horse thieves, Aini, or other nobles, they all had people stationed in Qingfeng City.
Let’s not talk about what happened before, we can’t blame you either
If Qingfeng City wants to develop and grow, it must attract enough talents, and we don’t have that time and energy. Go do a background check on them.
But after today, no matter who is in charge of such a problem again, I will definitely hold him accountable.
It can be said that all of you here have contributed to Qingfeng City. I don’t want to miss any of you at the celebration banquet in the future. ”
Although things happen for a reason and they cannot be entirely blamed for this kind of thing, they are not without any responsibility. Proper beating is still necessary.
At this time, little Aiboka stood up and said: "Lord, regarding the traitor, it is true that we did not do a good job.
However, during this period of time in Qingfeng City, all the people who joined Qingfeng City I have helped them register the refugees, including those you brought back from the stronghold and the Northern Empire.
I have described their place of origin, past residence, and living and deceased parents. Relatives, the time they came to our Qingfeng City is all recorded in the household registration book.
Although our manpower is limited, we can first find our fellow townsmen, same village, same clan and even former people in the corresponding household registration book. The merchants who pass through will undergo internal screening and verification first. ”
Xu Lai nodded with satisfaction. Little Aiboka was not as calm as his brother, and his various minor problems were more obvious, but he was indeed capable of doing things.
