After destroying the orc's rear troops, Su Lun returned to the north city of the town with his army. By this time, the remaining orcs had basically evacuated to the northern wasteland. The Kingdom coalition forces had pursued the orcs and achieved some results, but the main force of the orcs had retreated.
Su Lun wanted to see if he had a chance to leave the orc high priest, but now it seems impossible. When he left, Su Lun also took all the refugees who had been closed in the wild, but this time there were a lot fewer refugees, adding up to only more than 3000.
It took Su Lun four days to take people back to the north town. At this time, Zhenbei city has become a large construction site. Due to the soaring population, Zhenbei city is now overcrowded. In just two months, sulun has emigrated more than 100000 people from northern provinces.
Phase III project is being built outside Zhenbei city. According to sulun's drawings, the perimeter of phase III wall of Zhenbei city is eight kilometers. If it is completed, Zhenbei city can easily accommodate more than 100000 people, even in the whole kingdom of Florence.
It's not that sulun can't build a bigger city. In fact, with the current social productivity, a city with more than 100000 people needs to be supported by other towns.
After all, more people live in cities, so they need more materials. In this era of no chemical fertilizer, the output of land is limited. To supply a city with 100000 people to eat, drink and laza, it naturally needs a lot of fields. If farmland has been expanded outward, many farmers will have to live outside the city.
If it is the kingdom of Florence, this situation is naturally not a big problem. After all, Florence's land has been developed for hundreds of years, and the number of dog headed people and goblins in the field is also limited. However, unlike Zhenbei City, it has only been occupied for more than a year. Even if the army in Zhenbei city keeps patrolling, all kinds of monsters in the field will continue to grow over a period of time.
It is not safe for those farmers to live far away from the city, so sulun is not going to build a big city with too many people at present. Of course, because there are farm manure and harvest altars here in the north of the town, there is a lot of land production. It is not difficult to supply a city with a population of 100000.
However, sulun did not intend to build such a large city directly. He planned to build another city in the west of the north town. So far, there are three cities in sulun's territory. In addition to Zhenbei City, there are Jinghu city and Centaur city. However, the population of Jinghu city and Centaur city is small.
After several times of immigration, the population of Jinghu city has just reached the scale of 10000, while the number of half man horse city is even less, only more than 4000. Su Lun plans to allocate 20000 people to Jinghu City, 5000 to Centaur City, and the remaining 15000 to the new city to be built.
More than 20 gathering points, large and small, have been established outside Zhenbei city. There are 2000 to 5000 people in each gathering point, with a total number of more than 50000. At this time, these people are under construction on the construction site. In the phase III project of Zhenbei City, the construction of city walls and houses is given priority, and these must be completed before November.
Because in November, it will start to snow here in the north of the town. If there is no house at that time, these refugee slaves will be frozen to death. It's August now. It's only three months from November. There's still a lot of pressure to complete the city walls and houses in such a short period of time.
Su Lun's return did not affect the construction progress of the city. Now there are a large number of grass-roots officials in Zhenbei city. These trained officials can be competent for their work. As long as the tasks are assigned, they will work according to the requirements. Therefore, although the number of people in Zhenbei city has doubled, Su Lun has less to deal with.
In the past, many trivial matters had to be handled by Su Lun. Now these people below have been handled in an orderly manner. As for corruption, abuse of power and abuse of power for personal gain, Zhenbei city has not appeared yet.
This is not to say that the officials in Zhenbei city have high ideological awareness. In fact, these people also have their own selfish desires. In order to prevent this situation, Zhenbei city has also established a special supervision department. In addition to the supervision department, the most important thing is the prison in Zhenbei city.
The prison built by sulun with great efforts has achieved surprisingly good results. After training and educating grass-roots officials, they need to come to the prison for the last ideological and political lesson. After coming here to experience some special treatment, all grass-roots officials have become respectful and afraid of this place, and their work has become diligent. They dare not go one step further.
Moreover, in order to deepen the memory of these grass-roots officials, Su Lun stipulated that every six months, all officials must go here for ideological and political re education. The effect is still very good at present. As for the prison guards and wardens in the prison, because they work here, the effect here is invalid for them unless they no longer hold the post of prison.
Of course, for these prison personnel, there is also a monitoring system. According to the myths and legends of previous lives, Su Lun invited carving masters to specially carve two statues of divine animals. These two statues have no other functions.
狴犴: lifelike + 33, deterrent curfew + 34, indestructible + 30, discerning loyalty and traitors + 34, questioning + 32
With these towns, the current administration of officials in the north city can be said to have reached a point that has not been reached even in previous lives. Of course, sulun still has many benefits for officials. In addition to the basic salary, there are additional benefits every month. It can be said that the living standard of grass-roots officials is still very good.
Su Lun did not calculate the salaries of officials exactly as Zhu Hongwu did. The low salary almost made these officials unable to support their whole family. Although Su Lun doesn't advocate high salary to keep clean, it's also not good to let horses run and don't eat grass. How can there be such a good thing in the world? After all, people like Hai Rui were few in the whole Ming Dynasty.
In the north of the town, the welfare of grass-roots officials is still good. Although they can't be rich, they can still do without worry about food and clothing. And Su Lun promised them that when the school was established in the north of the town, their children could enter school directly.
Although Su Lun's work is less, the number of grass-roots officials is beginning to be in short supply. Su Lun now has no good way, so he can only select some refugees from the slaves. Before transporting these people to the North Town, all the refugees were divided into teams, and some grass-roots officials were selected from these people.
All those who did a good job during the migration and cooperated with each other tacitly were promoted to grass-roots officials. Then they were asked to learn from the previous grass-roots officials for a period of time. After learning almost, they were sent to the grass-roots officials training base for training in batches through internship. Those who failed in the assessment went back directly.
In this way, Su Lun quickly trained a number of grass-roots officials.
The arrival of a large population not only makes the north of the town crowded, but also brings many problems, such as public security, health and so on. The main reason is that the number of the city guard is only 300. Relying on 300 people to manage the city with 100000 people, there is a serious shortage of manpower.
When the army in the north of the town came back, sulun temporarily transferred 1000 long gunmen to serve as the security army. At the same time, the barracks also began to recruit new soldiers. In addition to some serving as the security army, the other part joined the long gunmen and archers.
If Su Lun wants to establish a trap camp and a sound shooting camp, he needs a large number of divine gun guards and divine archers. Moreover, because of the advanced probability, these two special arms will not be full for a long time.
The city wall of phase III project of Zhenbei city is 15 meters high, 8 kilometers long, 5 meters wide at the top and 6.5 meters wide at the bottom. It can be said that this section of the city wall is the largest building in addition to spectacle buildings. In order to build this city wall, 60000 people were used to work in Zhenbei City, including 30000 human refugees and slaves, and the rest were dog headed people, goblins and jackals.
60000 people were assigned to the construction site up to eight kilometers. The brick kiln factory in Zhenbei city also began to produce a large number of bricks and stones. Because residential houses are also being built, the consumption of bricks and stones in Zhenbei city has surged, and there has been a shortage of supply.
Su Lun asked the brick kiln factory to expand production while transporting rocks from the quarry. However, even so, the supply of bricks and stones was still tight. In the face of this situation, Su Lun had to adopt the previous plate construction method for housing construction and use soil and thatch to tamp the house.
Although such houses are not beautiful, and the daylighting is poor, and they are easy to be wet in rainy days, they are still very warm. These houses can be rebuilt as long as they spend this winter and wait until the supply of bricks and stones is sufficient.
The arrival of a large number of people makes the living materials in the north town very tight. There is no shortage of food in the North Town, and there are enough potatoes, but the meat supply is tight. A lot of human labor needs to supplement some meat. Sulun uses a large number of fish instead, and everyone will be given a bowl of fish soup every day.
As for beef and mutton, don't think about it. There is a serious shortage of beef and mutton in the north of the town. Su Lun has ordered to suspend the slaughter of beef and mutton. The cattle and sheep raised by centaurs have not been sold yet. Su Lun now buys a large number of beef and mutton from the caravan.
The soldiers in Zhenbei city are strong, loyal and disciplined, but they also have disadvantages, that is, they consume a lot of meat. After all, a knight has to eat at least half a catty of meat a day. Their strong physical quality needs a lot of meat to provide energy.
It can be said that all the troops in Zhenbei city are big stomach kings. Seeing the meat consumed every day, Su Lun feels liver pain. At least dozens of cattle and hundreds of sheep are consumed for a meal. Now there are only some farms in Zhenbei city to breed cattle and sheep.
On meat alone, Suellen spends nearly 10000 ginals a month.
