According to General Manager Laiwen's opinion, large households should be allowed to restrain the forces surrounding their residences.
If you can do it, everything will be fine, but if you can't, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, you will find an excuse and kill the big players too.
Camelia couldn't help but spit out the letter when she saw it.
It sounds like a good idea, but in reality... there seems to be no problem. Regardless of whether Lady Audrey goes to the garrison or not, as long as His Highness Li Xiang is present and the city defense army is present, it will be difficult for ordinary mages and magic swordsmen to be naughty.
The content of the letter was unexpected. It was because the Phoenix King had given Camelia too much of a polite impression, and she didn't expect that the chamberlain would come up with a trick that was almost like playing a rogue.
But if you think about it carefully, is it really a hooliganism?
Are the criminal gangs around the big family's mansion really related to the big family at all? It doesn't really matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay.
Following the advice of Manager Laiwen and doing various preparations for administrative reforms, Pang Xun became better day by day.
The most significant change is the change in the crime rate. The lord's army, which was originally responsible for managing public security, is now free enough to catch thieves.
With this foundation, other things are progressing much more smoothly than before. The newly built sanitation agency has made the city much cleaner, and farmers are more willing to open up wasteland.
Part of the kingdom's allocation was used for water network construction. This matter involved street reconstruction and partial expropriation. There was great resistance before, but now the gangs stopped, and things soon progressed. Two roads were opened. Construction of the main sewer pipe to the outside of the city began.
Cities in the Phoenix Kingdom are not very divided between inside and outside. Some cities don't even have formal city walls, such as Xincheng and Fenggu Industrial Zone.
In the early days of Pang Xun, the outside of the city was very deserted. Since the railway came to the edge, a new city has gradually formed, an area with even worse order.
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here..]
Now that the railways are disconnected, almost all the Kingdom Railway Bureau personnel have evacuated, leaving only one office and a few local employees to coordinate the supplies from Hongye Lake to Pangxun. In fact, there is no exchange of supplies between the two companies, because they are mainly engaged in agriculture and fishery. The direction of business is also different.
Of course, the Luna River is almost dry now, and the few temporarily dug ponds cannot fully supply the local area. There is also a demand for purchasing dried fish, smoked fish, and pickled fish.
The new urban planning does not intend to crowd people from outside the city into the city, but directly pulls the city wall to build new areas.
Pang Xun's aerial view looks like "Δ" from north to south, with flat land in the figure and hilly areas in the rest. An additional city wall will be used to enclose a new city, and the amount of work is not large.
"Δ" The part of the city wall facing the Luna River was made thinner, with a top width of 1.5 meters. It was all built using disaster victims. The rest of the city wall was built with the outpost version of the sacred tree recently planted by the captain of the inner court guard, and then stone The masonry work is relatively larger, and there is also the masonry part, plus the fish pond construction relying on the Luna River channel, and the underground lake mouth construction project, forming the entire relief project.
The mouth of the underground lake is actually very close, just across a hill about 100 meters high to the east of the "Δ" area.
The exploration of underground lakes is very dangerous. Unlike surface lakes, it is composed of one or several large and connected water bodies. Most of its water bodies are connected in the form of gaps in the rock mass. Some can be drilled through, and some can be drilled using magic. Can't penetrate.
The kingdom's exploration team, with the help of a small number of pro-lord mages in the city, spent nearly three months determining that the total water storage layer of this underground lake is greater than 21 cubic kilometers.
Its basic shape can be regarded as a pea with a length of more than 30 kilometers, but it is very flat. The average height difference within the lake is 150 meters. Also deducting the volume loss caused by underground rock formations passing through it, the average water depth is about 100 meters.
The total water storage capacity is not the total groundwater content. The underground lake is located in the rock layer, and above it is a soil aquifer that has not formed sedimentary rocks. The depth of this aquifer is about thirty meters, and its scope is very large, including the bed of the Luna River. Most of the dozens of kilometers surrounding it are the same water storage layer. It is with the guarantee of this water that the Luna River has not completely dried up.
After the Luna River dries up, this aquifer will probably still have half its thickness. It is difficult to calculate how much water it will contain, because the water storage capacity of different soil layers is also different, and there has not yet been such in-depth research.
In addition to building new city walls in the outer city area, the most important task is to develop the mouth of the underground lake, which includes earthworks at the mouth of the lake and construction of water plants.
There are two plants. One is a covered evaporation-proof water plant connected to the underground lake. The groundwater is clean enough and does not require treatment. The water plant mainly serves the function of pressurizing water. The other, larger one is the sewage treatment plant on the city wall near the river. The treated water here is directly put into the fish pond outside to raise fish.
This pile of projects has been arranged enough for the kingdom's administrative team to take over.
If I had bad intentions and regretted not merging into the Phoenix Kingdom at this time, I don’t know what would happen.
Probably because there is no good fruit to eat.
In fact, at this stage, Camelia has only seen part of the Phoenix Kingdom's administrative planning capabilities. All the work is done by local people, and even the accounts are in Camelia's hands.
After arranging things one by one and gradually becoming more relaxed, Camelia couldn't help but wonder, if the city that signed the naturalization intention reneged on it, what measures would the Phoenix Kingdom use?
What is known is that the Phoenix King has never carried out internal suppression. Even if he chops off the heads of several large households, he can still come up with reasons, at least reasons that can make the common people unanimously support him.
If the city that signed the naturalization intention was regarded as half of its own people, might it not use military means?
What else could be done?
Cutting off the supply of sugar water is easier said than done. Where a tree has been planted, the local lord will know that the function of the tree must be connected to the seeds to change. If there is no way to remotely cut off the supply of sugar water, it depends on whether the captain of the guard can win. Lord.
Camelia has never served anyone else, but she should be able to win.
It would be uncomfortable if the sugar water keeps flowing, because as long as the sugar water keeps flowing, people in the city will never starve to death, and even if there is no more water source, it will be difficult to die of thirst. In this way, the threat of surrounding the city is useless.
Will there still be a fight in the end if this continues?
A little confused, Camelia wrote to her "pen pal" and asked Manager Wen to answer her question.
Lai Wen was very unhappy and said not to use official channels to ask such questions that might cause misunderstandings.
But the answer was still given.
Lai Wen believes that there is almost no possibility of failure for the captain of the imperial guard, but if the sugar water cannot be cut off, she will first ask for huge compensation and go through the process, and then suggest that your majesty start aerial propaganda, which is a method of placing notices using aircraft as a carrier. Let local people understand why the city is being beaten.
The impact of the next war will be minimized, and the lord's mansion may have already been occupied by angry people and big business owners who want to make a lot of money before the army can reach the border.
It doesn't matter if the lord has enough mages and they are more skilled and can intercept the leaflets. They can also use anti-magic bombs and air-dropped recording speakers to promote the propaganda.
As long as the publicity is in place, there are people inside and outside the city. Why should the lord block the trend?
In short, His Majesty will always stand with the people's hope of improving their lives, and he is already in an invincible position.
"Awesome!" This was the first time Camelia realized the logic of the Phoenix King's rule.
