Chapter 297 The Center of Outlying Islands
Xiyuan Village started to be built on the west side of Yi Village, and Panshan Village started to be built on the north side. However, before these two projects had progressed for a few days, Su Yan took Qu Mao to Nanli Village again.
After Qu Mao arrived at Nanli Village, he asked Su Yan suspiciously: "Su Yan, why are you dragging me to Nanli Village? I have to keep an eye on the construction of Xiyuan Village and Panshan Village."
Su Yan said to Qu Mao: "My lord, don't you feel anything wrong?"
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Something's wrong? What's wrong?"
Sunan took a step forward and said, "My lord, this place is too close to the sea. The last time Lord Sylvia liberated the outlying island, it was the time when he received the three warships captured by the army on the empty island, and then counterattacked out of the village. Sir, you should have been in Nanli Village at that time, right?"
Qu Mao's face changed slightly, because he slept too late that time, and when he heard the shouts of killing in a trance, he thought it was the fleet of the Anti-Cheat Alliance directly landing and attacking Li Village, and he lost a little bit in front of a third-tier princess guard. Face, then nodded and said: "The reason is the same as building the villages on the west and north of Yi Village, so you two, Sunan and Su Yan, think that Nanli Village is too close to the sea to be the center of outlying islands, right?"
Su Nan nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, I know that you and Master Kong Ming want to make the North and South Li villages the center of the outlying island, but the outlying island is too close to the sea.
Some time ago, my subordinates followed our hunting troops around the outlying islands. Although I didn’t have a general picture, I vaguely felt that the center of the outlying islands was at least 20 kilometers away from Beihu Village and the small village in the north, while the distance to the south was still the same. There is also a depth of nearly 20 kilometers. "
Qu Mao tilted his head and asked, "So?"
Su Nan continued: "My lord, outlying islands have a lot of strategic depth to be explored. It's a pity that the North and South Li villages are too close to the sea. Should we redevelop an outlying island center?"
Qu Mao lowered his head and thought about it. What Sunan said made sense, but he ran to build a new one more than ten kilometers away from the existing villages on outlying islands such as Fulou Village, Li Village, Kan Village, Lou Village, Beixiang Village, and Beihu Village. A village is no less difficult than the resources and people it took to build a new village on an outlying island.
Su Nan said cautiously: "My lord, this subordinate has made an appointment with Master Kong Ming..."
While Qu Mao was still deep in thought, Kong Ming walked over with a goose feather fan. Qu Mao caught sight of Kong Ming, jumped up instantly, and said angrily, "Damn it! Kong Ming, what are you doing back to Li Village when you're not hunting outside?"
Kong Ming smiled, put the goose feather fan aside, and said, "My lord, it is the troops led by my subordinate who are hunting in the center of the outlying island.
The one who suggested Master Su Yan and Island Master Sunan to suggest to you to rebuild the outlying island center is also a subordinate. "
Qu Mao glanced at Kong Ming and said, "Kong Ming, continue talking.
What the **** do you want to do? Didn't I tell you? If you have any ideas, tell me first, and I will organize people to do it after I agree. "
Kong Ming had a thick skin and said with a smile, "My lord, isn't this subordinate reporting to you?"
Then Kong Ming took out a piece of paper and a pen, and said to Qu Mao while sketching, "My lord, this location should be the center point of the outlying island, 16 kilometers from the north to the small village, 21 kilometers from the south to the village, Lakeside Village is 19 kilometers away, and it is generally about 20 kilometers away from the south, west, and north coastlines of the island.
Fulou Village is also 15 kilometers away from this location. This location is a basin, but no natural freshwater source has been found so far. However, the subordinates feel that after the Lihe Reservoir is repaired, it is not a particularly big deal to dig an artificial river to go there.
Dig an artificial river, which can not only irrigate a large amount of cultivated land along the way, but also provide fresh water for domestic use to other villages on outlying islands.
My lord, look again, if we dig an artificial river from the reservoir to the center of the outlying island, a barrier lake can be formed in the central basin of the outlying island, then it is perfect to build the center of the outlying island by the lake, and we can even make the central area of the outlying island Think of it as a capital, or at least a sub-capital.
Of course the lord’s hut is in Yi Village, Yi Island. The real capital is Yi Village. We can build Yi Village in the center of the outlying island as the deputy capital. At the same time, it can confuse the anti-Yi Village alliance if it lands on the island...
The outlying island is the largest of the islands we have discovered so far, and at the same time, Yi Village is in the center of the outlying island, which is naturally confusing..."
Qu Mao let out a long sigh and said, "Kong Ming, you have to be clear that the biggest bottleneck in our Yi Village territory is the insufficient number of people. To build a Yi Village with the capital as its location, at least 3,000 people can be accommodated. We can't Build an empty village with no residents to confuse the enemy?"
Kong Ming said: "My lord, that's right, Yi Village can house at least 3,000 people, and as the capital, we don't reclaim farmland, all of them are in the field of handicrafts and technical workshops, which echoes Yi Island and Yi Village, how great it is.
Lingmin, the fleet of the second anti-Yi village alliance, didn't they prepare a lot for us? "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Damn it! Kong Ming, I almost got caught by you.
Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, what is the progress of Yizhi School's construction for the 1,000 gold coins I gave you last time? "
Kong Ming glanced at Qu Mao resentfully, dropped the pen in his hand, picked up the goose feather fan again, shook it a few times, and said, "My lord, don't you feel relieved when your subordinates do things?
The basic project has been arranged and is in the process of construction. The library is also on duty every day for construction, which will not delay the construction of Yizhi School. "
Qu Mao exhaled a foul breath and said, "Kong Ming, Yizhi School is the top priority at the moment. I mainly want to remind you: I only have 300 gold coins left in my backpack, and the gold coins on our account in Yi Village Territory will be deducted." The infrastructure of Xiyuan Village and Panshan Village has only 777 gold coins left, and all of our usable gold coins are only 1,000.
Before the first invasion of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, the 15,000 gold coins I borrowed from Su Yan have not yet been returned.
Gold coins are very tight. Before the second wave of the anti-Yi village alliance comes, I guess we need to strengthen the construction of some coastal defense weapons. The gold coins cannot be used up before the enemy comes. "
Kong Ming sighed and said, "My lord, we are all aware that the gold coins are tight, but Lord Maffei Trani should be back soon."
Su Yan also said: "Yes, my lord, Maffey will be back soon. Let's plan first."
Kong Ming said: "My lord, I can arrange soldiers to participate in the construction. There are too many hunting troops now, and even hunting can't move around. There is no problem in freeing up hundreds of soldiers to participate in the construction of Yi Village."
Qu Mao glanced at Su Yan, and said: "Kong Ming, since you have made arrangements, let's start. But if you want to increase the gold coin budget, there is no way!"
