Li Xiang lay on the table and looked at someone's side face. Wang Qi was seriously considering the work log brought back by Li Xiang, and next to it was the share brought by General Xiao Lei earlier.

After seeing it, Wang Qi felt a little bit like this: "I met the wise king."

"Mingjun?"

"The meaning of a wise monarch is ironic here." Wang Qi explained and continued, "The original intention of laying overseas railways is to collect resources from all over the country through scissors. Including new territories also means more responsibility. It is not a good direction when the pressure in the north is increasing. If it is like Carver, the time of conflict and the consumption of re-planning is limited, it will be no big problem to do it a few more times."

"If Blackwater City has a chance, will it be like this time?"

"The possibility is not high. Heishui City has a large population and its overall governance level is much higher than the first three stops. In the short term, it is difficult for the people to have a particularly inclined mood. Many people will die if they fight."

Caffer was obviously a city with lords, and the process of being taken down was almost not much different from Red Rock City. The lord's death was only one aspect. The subsequent transformation work did not encounter particularly great difficulties, and it was the credit of Lord Breen, because the people did not want to maintain the original state at all and had strong expectations for foreign rulers. Of course, they were lucky. Although Wang Qi was not at a high level, it was not a big problem to do better than Breen.

Heishui City is completely different. Although we have not figured out the operation method of the iron plant, we can use a relatively retro method to form a certain production scale. In addition to the various industries of Heishui City itself, the overall living standards of all classes in the entire Heishui City are indeed improving little by little.

In this environment, many temporary conscripts would be willing to die for Heishui City during wartime. As long as the lord himself was not sent to the gun like this time, it would definitely turn into a difficult tug-of-war, and the street fighting and security wars would be even more difficult to deal with.

Wang Qi is confident that he can win, but the supplement and training of professional troops is not a matter of overnight. Before the pressure in the north is lifted, we should try our best to avoid large fluctuations in the number of personnel in the army.

Li Xiang returned to the royal city and soon went to Caffer by the translator who was transferred to his post to convey the work priorities of the next stage.

Bruen knew that he was unpopular and was wary of the locals' expansion of power, which also brought about an advanced situation. The proportion of slaves in Carver was much smaller, and the proportion of slaves was only 5%.

Don't keep this person in Caffer, otherwise he will be easily bullied and will be concentrated in the new city. This kind of institution specializing in slave re-education will not need to be moved, and it will also reduce Caffer's administrative pressure.

The city defense force must also be formed on the spot. In order to restore urban normalization as soon as possible, the work of popularizing official languages ​​can be relatively postponed and on-the-job night school training can be conducted.

...

The Lord of Wind Valley, Silwen, hasn't been able to sleep well for a day recently, and has been awakened by her head-cut nightmare almost every day.

Especially when the person who asked about the news came back recently, he knew that Lord Bruen had been broken and the situation became more and more serious.

Why not vote.

It was difficult to make a decision. Silwen was not brave enough. She delayed for a while and was tortured by nightmare all day long and could not think normally. Finally, she decided to accept all the conditions brought back by the messenger.

He also made a small request to keep his property.

Not long after the messenger sent him, he waited for the messenger from Phoenix City. He heard that he was a female envoy who was riding a giant bear all day long outside the city of Cavern.

The giant bear stayed outdoors, and the female envoy walked into the lord's mansion alone, not seemingly worried about a sneak attack.

Silwen met with the special envoy. Before she could greet her, the special envoy directly spread the wooden pieces folded together in her arms and read:

"Lord Silwen loves the people as much as his son, understands the righteousness and follows the trend. He is a rare talent. He has a special offer to invest in the Phoenix Iron Factory to encourage him. Lord Silwen is also invited to take the lead in implementing various transformation matters of Fenggu. (End)"

After finishing her study, Silwen didn't know how to react. She didn't even understand what kind of encouragement it was to invest in Phoenix Iron Factory.

Finally, he met someone who couldn't understand these things than him. Li Xiang reached out and handed them out: "This is yours."

"Ohh." Hurry up and catch it.

Li Xiang continued to speak: "You are the acting mayor now, and a small team will come over to help you carry out the transformation of Fenggu."

"Then my property..." She was still thinking about this.

"If the handwriting is not mentioned, it means that your property will not be touched, but slaves are not considered property and they have to be converted into free people. Is there any problem?"

"...No." When she decided to surrender, she had already made her mental preparation... Maybe she had completed her mental preparation after she made the decision, and she couldn't tell the difference.

"Then you do it well, I'll leave."

"ah?"

"how?"

"It's too fast."

"It's not good to delay." Li Xiang waved his hand and left directly.

...

Things about Caffer were progressing in an orderly manner, and suddenly an envoy came to Phoenix and said he wanted to surrender.

The first one was the envoy from Fenggu, the second stop outside the country. The Xiaoshan City, corresponding to the first stop, also sent an envoy to express his surrender.

"The awareness is too high." Wang Qi sighed very much. People are really incomparable.

The story of Caffer has probably spread, and the lords at the first two stops also knew that they would be deprived of power, but they could still make such a decision, which is a clear understanding of the righteousness.

Even if the starting point is to save one's own life or other reasons, it does not affect the conclusion, and it is always good to avoid two conflicts.

However, the administrative personnel who can be transferred are all in Carver. If you transfer people outside, you will not be able to handle their own affairs.

Therefore, the hosting transformation can only be carried out temporarily.

Without going through war, the lord will encounter less resistance when he takes the lead in the transformation, so he directly lets the two lords serve as acting mayors.

For the two cities, Wang Qi also has different plans for their future.

The small mountain city has no future. If the mountain city wants to develop, it must rely on big rivers and at least a lake. The small mountain city has nothing. Even if there are some unused minerals, it is not easy to process locally due to terrain reasons. At most, it is necessary to do a mining industry.

Xiaoshan City has a population of only a few thousand, and plans to be transferred to a function similar to Nanzhen. While protecting the railway section, it serves as a military support point. As for what industries can be developed, we will look at it again.

The key point is Fenggu, this is really a good place, but unfortunately Lord Silwen is not very good at using it.

The southern slope of Fenggu is gentle, with a total area of ​​nearly 80 square kilometers. If it is included near the railway town, it is barely considered outside Fenggu, and there is a gentle area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers.

Although the overall area is located on the dark side of the terrain, the terrain is smooth and does not reduce much sunshine. Moreover, the surface river provides sufficient water supply, making it a typical excellent farmland.

Unfortunately, since the comet landed, the sunlight rate has decreased and the potential for agricultural development has become relatively limited.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s good to do anything with a gentle terrain of nearly 100 square kilometers. Phoenix City, Caffer, etc., Fenggu is also the most suitable plot for developing into large cities. Even if it blocks it and builds a reservoir, it must be the scale of a national key project.

The royal city is on the front line of war. No matter how well prepared it is, it is difficult to ensure that various production facilities are not damaged in the war, so there must be a second point of support for productivity.

The original second support point was Xincheng.

The area of ​​the small basin of Xincheng is not as good as the super flat area where the royal city is located. However, as the volcanic belt calms down, the temperature of the dark place drops, and the new city has a lot more land, but it still takes time to develop.

Now that Fenggu has descended, the transportation conditions there are better, and it is more suitable for being a second production center.

Caffer translated as an intersection, but in Wang Qi's eyes, the conditions are still not as good as Fenggu. The so-called intersection is just a natural land corridor.

The transportation capacity of Feng Valley is composed of north-south railways and east-west rivers, and the potential is not a small part.

But this river still has to toss and move slowly, otherwise the flow rate will be too fast for transportation.

Of course, this is a very long-term thing. In the short term, it is enough to cooperate with local emerging towns to form a second production base, and iron plants can also build new branches here.
