Summoning Total War

Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update calls for total war!

This year's spring lasted much longer than in previous years, and the temperature gradually became hotter until the end of May. The busy construction progress of Athens is still going on, and the resettlement and relocation of nearly 240,000 people will take a lot of time, manpower and material resources. In just three months, hundreds of villages have been established in the territory of Athens.

These villages are attached to the towns, and the towns surround the city of Athens, and develop all the land in the territory that is close to the Nidoria River that is convenient for reclamation and cultivation. Each village roughly maintains a population of about 1,200 people. Each village is built with a family of about 2,000 to 300 households separated by a distance of ten miles. Reclaiming the plains has such a natural advantage, that is, the vast land does not require logging and burning mountains, which is convenient for the establishment of towns and the transportation of various materials.

As the population in the territory gradually turned to densification, Murphy also had to carry out a second urban planning.

The previously captured goblins, goblin bears, kobold slaves, etc. now have a busy task for them, which is to dig a river across the city of Athens and its surrounding areas. The width of this river is about Between fifteen meters and twenty meters, the length is about one hundred kilometers, running through the north and south regions of the Principality. Of course, the first step of the plan will not be on such a large scale. Murphy's initial idea is to develop and improve the system of diversion canal irrigation, and connect it with various towns and villages near Athens.

The Nidolia River has tributaries that flow through the town, so although this project is huge, it is not impossible to complete. It only needs to dig out a river channel to divert the flow, and then use a layout similar to a spider web to divide into strips about three feet wide. The small river channel and small ditches to about five meters are introduced into the reclaimed land. In this way, the canal irrigation system for the entire territory is initially completed.

In the Principality of Athens, the number of goblin slaves was as high as 40,000 to 50,000, and the number of kobold slaves was also several thousand. In addition to the bear goblins captured by Murphy, the population of slaves in the city of Athens exceeded 60,000. These slaves were branded spiritually by the priests who led the temple, and unless they were starving without food, there was very little rebellion.

Because the earth has been eroded by the power of filth and death, there are food shortages everywhere on the road, and hobgoblins have appeared on the barren highlands to eat their own kind. The situation is definitely not optimistic. If Murphy wanted, he could even immediately obtain tens of thousands of goblin slaves from the barren rock highlands to enrich the population. But Murphy doesn't have such an idea yet, because goblins are short and can't cultivate the land. Although they are a little clever, they don't have real wisdom. It's okay to let them do coolies, so the others are of little use.

Now the number of goblin slaves in Athens is close to saturation, any more would be a waste of rations.

Although the grain output in Athens has been growing in the past two years, it is still a problem. The sharp increase in the consumption also increased consumption, and Murphy was called to help the centaur tribe, and exchanged food for the horse fur in their hands. The food in the treasury was not very abundant. One point is absolutely unmistakable.

Perhaps at this time next year, Murphy will consider increasing the number of slaves in Tang after successfully completing the farming reform of two crops a year.

After all, the river channel that Athens was going to dig was not the Grand Canal like the one on Earth in the previous life, and it would take a little longer at most to dig it with more than 50,000 laborers. Murphy didn't care too much about this, as long as he dared to get the canal irrigation system done before August. In the future, there will be plenty of time to continue to develop these small rivers. After all, the tributaries of the Nidolia River are there, and there are many ways to continue to expand.

The construction of various towns is in full swing, and the expansion of the city of Athens is also being further planned and arranged.

Since the establishment of the Principality of Athens, the number of citizens recognized by the auxiliary system of "Total War" in the city of Athens has also gradually increased. Until June, the population of citizens recognized by the auxiliary system had reached 20,000. There is still a population difference of about 4,000, and we can start to prepare for the transformation of the city of Athens from a big city to a giant city.

Now in the main city of Athens, the inner city and the port have been connected together, and the land previously reserved by Murphy has basically been built.

If the city of Athens is to be upgraded to a giant city, further external expansion is required to separate the commercial areas, residential areas, guard barracks, etc., and the future construction of the Pantheon will also need to be opened up one by one. Area.

The population that a mega city can accommodate is about 50,000 people, which does not include the population of towns and villages around the city, but is limited to the population living in the city. Of course, the [true] population is still far beyond this scale. It is estimated that when the giant city is completed, the total population of the city of Athens will reach a scale of slightly 100,000!

In such an era when civilization has just begun to evolve, a city with a population of 100,000 is definitely a huge project.

If we want to compare a famous city of the same time in the previous life, it is the capital of the Roman Empire after the establishment of the Roman Empire, that is, the city of Rome. Murphy intends to expand the scale of the giant city to the level of the city of Rome, or even beyond the city of Rome.

This is a very huge project!

It will definitely take more than a year or two to complete. According to Murphy's prediction, it will take at least four to five years to complete the construction of a giant city, and the final form of the Governor's Mansion alone , that is, the construction of the [Imperial Palace] will take more than a year and a half. This is still a budget made when material wealth in all aspects is sufficient.

After the establishment of the palace, it not only means that this is Murphy's palace, but also means that Athens' ruling system has been completely perfected.

The governing hall will be abolished, and an independent space will be opened up in the palace as an administrative place. At that time, the system of the cabinet council will also need to be put on the table, which basically means that a complete kingdom system has been established.

Maybe at that time, Murphy will need a crown on his head.

"Gao Zhujing digs deep and accumulates food and becomes king slowly."

This is a sentence Zhang Liang gave Liu Bang back then. Although it cannot be applied to Murphy, there is no doubt that this is also Murphy's plan. Athens has a strong military force, which is a solid city wall. The southern plain is located in a special place, surrounded by many races, so the core focus of Murphy's deployment is still to accumulate food and become king.

Food is the foundation of everything. As long as Murphy can successfully reform the industry and achieve two incomes a year, then basically where he is, the hearts of the people will be there.

At that time, even if they completely turned against the noble council, there would not be many people standing in their camp. In this way, it is tantamount to avoiding the outbreak of large-scale internal wars in human city-states. All Murphy needs to do is to get rid of those diehards in the noble council who are unwilling to hand over power. It will not damage the foundation of human city-states and excessively damage the internal strength of human beings.

As for the "slow king" Murphy, although he now has the ability to unify the southern plains by force, but doing so will also cause great losses to the Principality of Athens.

And Murphy needs a little too.

That is to let the common people of the lower class have a deeper understanding of the vitality and decay of the noble council, and even make the middle and lower noble classes start to oppose their rule. In this way, the ancient order that has been ingrained for thousands of years can be completely broken, and a new anaconda can be established according to Murphy's wishes. Let this increasingly decadent system continue to rot from within and accumulate people's dissatisfaction. When external pressure really comes, it will become a pure tofu.

Anyone who knows a lot about history knows a little bit.

It was very difficult to promote the new order, almost all of which were built from the broken ruins.

Whether it was the massacres used by the Manchus to maintain their rule, or the turbulent ten years after the founding of the country in modern history, almost all of the new order was implemented with iron and blood.

Unless it was a desperate time, Murphy didn't want to use such bloody and violent methods to carry out reforms.

Because if one day he really needs to re-establish order in this way.

Then in the entire southern plain, half of the aboriginal nobles will be held under his butcher's knife! Because without killing the controlling class of these powers, Murphy would have no way to stabilize his rule!

Time continues to flow, the area outside Athens is still a mess, fighting happens every day, and death is close to everyone.

The corrupt aristocratic council is still supported by the power of the three grand dukes, maintaining its weakening dominance. Facing the rise of Athens in front of them, although they intend to hinder or do something, they are somewhat powerless, whether it is the murlocs moving south, the undead that appeared, or the disputes in the southern wilderness, and the large number of caves that appeared People make them exhausted, and they can't spare any strength at all.

have to say.

Although the two stand on opposite sides, the existence of the noble council has shared the pressure on Athens to a considerable extent, because the noble council is a barrier, blocking murlocs, undead, cavemen, and underground creatures in the southern wilderness from Athens. on the opposite side.

Maybe they are not willing to do this, but the geographical location of Athens makes them, whether they want to or not, as long as they exist, they are a barrier for Athens.

In the 377th year of the Second Era, he went on a boat in July.

After nearly two months, the expansion of the Love Giant Temple was finally completed, and Murphy was also anxiously waiting. ! .
