The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

In two days, 61 farmers each worked 16 hours a day.

The resources and gold coins were provided in unlimited amounts, and at least three large warehouses in Qingfeng City were emptied.

A total of 120 houses, 5 small warehouses and a large wall were built to surround the mining town and quarry.

Bringing these horse thieves to work 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, the resources brought back this time were so large that after filling all the warehouses in Qingfeng City, there was still a lot leftover.

There was no other way, so Xu Lai had to ask people to 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 it must cover an area of ​​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 area 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 should 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."

Xu Lai had already put a large amount of gold and silver obtained in the village into his 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.

Therefore, Su Ya felt really distressed when Xu Lai wanted to build such a big city.

Xu Lai smiled and said: "I didn't say it was going to be built all at once, that's just the plan.

If we cannot build an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers, we will build an area of ​​200 square kilometers first. This section will become our castle area, which can be regarded as an inner city where only our own family lives.

Those that are expanded outside will be used as outer cities in the future. "

Su Ya silently complained: "What do you think of a 200 square kilometer castle.

Do you have to run all day if you want to meet each other every day? "

If it were placed on the earth, the length of more than ten kilometers would be enough for Xu Lai not to mention running for a day, but probably half a day, after all, would he want to walk and rest?

Now, of course, there is no need to be so exaggerated. 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 something we’ve done for sure. The specific steps to be taken will of course be subject to actual conditions.

I just want to tell you that more materials will be shipped soon. Don't be stingy like the last city expansion. "

Su Ya pouted and said: "Why do I want to be stingy? Is there just so much material? I don't want to do what those profiteers want."

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 he 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 he had built, so he naturally 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 base camp was established, 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.

The fact that Xu Lai brought Wei Yihong and others to his base camp instead of the official parliament hall showed his trust in these people.

Harris, who had become Xu Lai's housekeeper, had already prepared everything. He brought several carefully selected maids to serve tea to several people one by one.

"Harris, stop working. Prepare more food later. I'll treat you all to lunch today."

Harris said with a smile: "No problem, my lord, I won't disturb you anymore."

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'm not at home all the year round, so everything at home is all thanks to you. I want to thank you all here."

Xu Lai spoke first with a smile on his face.

Urdola 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 Qingfeng City develop so well.

Let me tell you, your contribution comes first. "Little Aboka said impatiently.

Wei Yihong frowned. Logically speaking, among the people present, he and Lacy had 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.

Lacy is the current speaker, and 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 was the only woman who could understand his jokes and his words.

"Those are all fictitious. I came to see you today mainly because we haven't been together for a long time, so I would like to take this opportunity to get together.

In addition, it is also because the latest 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, I can’t blame you.

If Qingfeng City wants to develop and grow, it must attract enough talents, and we do not have the time and energy to conduct background checks on them.

But after today, no matter who is in charge of the department and such problems arise again, I will definitely hold them 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 time in Qingfeng City, I have helped them complete the registration of all the refugees who have joined Qingfeng City, including those you brought back from the stronghold and the Northern Empire.

I recorded their birthplaces, past residences, living and deceased parents and relatives, and the time they came to my Qingfeng City in the household registration book.

Although our manpower is limited, we can first find our fellow countrymen, fellow villagers, same clansmen and even previous merchants in the corresponding household registers to conduct internal screening and verification. "

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.
