At noon on July 22nd in the sixteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, accompanied by Su Yan, Mo Yangqiao, Liu Qianhui and Ximen Fenghua, had some exchanges with Li Pengda, the former lord of the Principality of Pengda. It was an interrogation, nothing else, just a simple exchange.

   Qu Mao was a little shocked by Li Pengda's divine words, so he stopped the communication on the grounds that Li Pengda was not calm enough, and asked Li Pengda to stay in Xinshou Village to calm down for a while, and then communicate when he had time.

Since the members of the management team of God's Chosen players in each branch territory will leave Shayuanguan and return to their respective branch territories on July 23, when the garrison heroes of Shayuanguan led the garrison soldiers on the afternoon of July 22 After escorting Li Pengda to his family in Xinshou Village, Qu Mao took Su Yan, Mo Yangqiao and Ximen Fenghua into Xinshou Village along with Liu Qianhui to see the manor Liu Qianhui built in Xinshou Village.

  Leaving Shayuan Pass and heading northwest, it is different from the northeast direction leading to Guanqian Town. After walking less than three kilometers, Qu Mao saw a large dark manor from afar.

  Liu Qianhui proudly said to Qu Mao: "Qu Mao, there is 100 mu of land that my mother bought, and the Liuhu Manor has already been built.

In order to match the name of the manor, the old lady even spent huge sums of money to hire prisoners of war from Xinshou Village and residents of Shayuanguan, a total of 2,000 people. It took half a year to excavate the 300-acre Liuhu Lake around the manor and supply water for the Liuhu Lake. Liuhu River. "

  While listening to Liu Qianhui bragging, Qu Mao took out his binoculars and looked towards the manor without getting off his horse.

In the direction close to the Shayuanguan wall, as Liu Qianhui said, there is a relatively large pond covering an area of ​​300 mu. It is not too much to call it a lake. There is also a straight artificial river with a width of only 5 meters. Extending to the west, it seems to be the only river connecting Xinshou Village.

  Now there are some trees planted on the edge of the lake and on both sides of the artificial river, but these trees are generally below 2 meters in height, which is not particularly conspicuous.

   Between the lake and the artificial river, there is a large group of dark antique buildings. Under the sparkling reflection of the lake, the manor looks simple and elegant.

  The houses built in the manor are only two stories tall. No matter what material they are made of, at least what Qu Mao sees in the telescope are all wooden structures.

  Suddenly, Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Damn it! Liu Qianhui, it's not one manor, but two, and there is another manor of the same specification further west.

  I was surprised at what you built such a beautiful manor in the prisoner-of-war camp in Xinshou Village, now it seems that you are the only one who has this habit..."

  Ximen Fenghua, who was walking beside Qu Mao on a horse, hurriedly said: "Qu Mao, next to Liu Qianhui's Liuhu Manor is my Red Maple Manor, with 36 maple trees planted.

  The branch territory of Fenghuahou Kingdom has been able to generate positive income, so I also have a lot of private house money. Besides, the land and construction materials in this Xinshou Village are not expensive. "

  Su Yan said to Qu Mao: "Master, Master Liu and Master Ximen purchased land and built a manor in Xinshou Village, the Shayuanguan City Lord reported to his subordinates.

  The subordinates personally approved, and built Liuhu Manor and Red Maple Manor according to the same specifications, both of which are nine-entry courtyards covering an area of ​​100 mu.

   In addition, Mr. Liu was not charged for excavating the 300 mu of land in Liuhu, and the land connecting the river in Xinshou Village with the artificial river in Liuhu.

  The subordinates also notified Shayuanguan City Lord of the labor costs for excavating Liuhu Lake and artificial river, and paid 20% from the Shayuanguan City Lord's Mansion. Of course, my subordinate helped you think about it, so the construction cost of Liuhu Manor and Red Maple Manor was half of the construction cost of the subordinate Tassel Empire, and the decoration costs were all paid by Master Liu and Master Ximen. "

   Qu Mao nodded and asked: "Liu Qianhui, you can do whatever you like, I won't say much.

  However, I’m more curious. How deep did you dig the deepest part of Liuhu Lake? "

Liu Qianhui said: "The deepest part was dug to a depth of 13 meters, but the overall area was not even 1,000 square meters, because the groundwater began to seep out when the depth was dug to 10 meters, and the workers excavated while draining water. After reaching three meters, there was no way to dig any further, not even to expand the area deeper than three meters.

  Afterwards, the artificial river connected to the only river in Xinshou Village will be excavated directly, but the artificial river is only five meters wide and three meters deep.

  After the connection, the surface of Liuhu Lake is about two or three meters above the ground, and the deepest internal water storage is less than 11 meters. Generally, the water storage is about 8 meters.

The water of the Liuhu River is only about half a meter deep. Some fish and shrimps from the natural river should have swam to the Liuhu Lake along the Liuhu River, but I still asked Franklin King to send over 2,000 catties of about 40,000 fish fry. Put it in the willow lake.

  Although it violated Xinshou Village’s prohibition against abundant food, Liuhu Lake is within 3 kilometers from the city wall, so it is not a complete violation. "

  Su Yan said: "My lord, the planning drawings of Liuhu Lake have been approved by my subordinates."

  Liu Qianhui rolled her eyes to Qu Mao, and said: "Don't let Su Yan help me share the burden, if you have any problems, you can go to my mother directly, don't make things difficult for Su Yan.

  Of course, the overall prisoner-of-war camp in Xinshou Village is still barren. I planted a circle of trees around Liuhu Lake and Liuhu River. There is a high probability that there is no way to change the fact that Xinshou Village is barren. "

   Qu Mao sighed, and said: "I can see that those tree seedlings should be purchased from the Shengdi Liandao Green City, and you can plant them when you plant them.

  I just don’t quite understand, why are you two building such a big manor? "

  Ximen Fenghua said: "Qu Mao, of course it will be useful.

  Liu Qianhui and I have already discussed with Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao, asking Su Yan to urge Shayuanguan City Lord to relocate the homes of the other 23 members of the God of Choice player management team from Xinshou Village to the surrounding areas of our two manors.

  Of course, the basic manor given to them by Shayuanguan City Lord is only 10 mu. Even if they pay for it themselves, they are only allowed to expand the manor to 50 mu at most.

  There are a total of 25 manors in this way, and we can form a new town here, called Liuhu Town.

   Did you find out? The Liuhu River is just three kilometers away from the city wall of Shayuanguan, and our houses are all on the north bank, which means that all prisoners of war in Xinshou Village can come to Liuhu Town freely.

  We built Liuhu Town in the hope that it will become a gathering place for the prisoners of the Chosen players, so that they can exchange information about the game, and it will also be convenient for us to collect information among the Chosen players. "

Qu Mao nodded thoughtfully, and said, "That's fine, but the traffic in Xinshou Village is really inconvenient. There is definitely no way to build a railway in the desert, but if you build a railway from the wasteland to Wucheng Port, it should be possible. Improve the traffic situation in Xinshou Village."
