Just looking at the material of this map, you can tell that it is very old. The writing has become a bit blurry in many places, but I can finally get a rough idea of it.
According to the map, the town is backed by mountains, which are endless and endless, extending from the left to the right, leaving only a large open space in front as an exit. From the shape, it looks like a Taishi chair. In terms of shape, the town is built right in the middle of the chair, surrounded by four villages of different sizes. There is a large grassland in front of the town, but it is not suitable for planting. The townspeople only cultivate some areas on the edge. Further on is the only exit in the town.
I heard from the old mayor that the previous town was not built here, but in the big valley behind, which was next to the teleportation array when Zhang Qi came. This also explains why the teleportation array was built so far away. It turns out that that place used to be the center of the town. Ju said that the former Canyue Town was a very prosperous town, even if it was ranked among the top in Tianqi, but later I found out why, and it slowly declined. Coupled with the harassment of wild beasts, and the lack of protection from blue-level people, everyone had no choice but to move the town to a central area away from the valley. Although they also asked the city for help, no one was willing to come. And none of the villagers here are skilled in martial arts and cannot defeat those beasts. As time went by, Waning Moon Town became what it is now.
After listening to the introduction of the old mayor, Zhang Qi felt relieved. He had a good understanding of this town, and a plan slowly emerged in his mind.
Now there are three main problems in the town: First, the food problem. Since the town was moved to the edge of the grassland, the land here is not suitable for growing food, so the food harvest has been very poor. In addition, the people in the village have no martial arts skills and no skills. Dare to go deep into the mountains to hunt, and there are relatively few prey. As a result, food becomes extremely scarce. When winter comes, everyone basically has nothing to eat, and there is no surplus food at all.
The second is safety issues. Although we are far away from the mountains, there are still occasional attacks by sporadic wild animals. In addition, young people are collecting food in villages outside, and their defense is low. Some stored food will also be eaten in large quantities. There are even frequent casualties, especially in winter, when some wild beasts without food will run out of the mountains and attack villagers.
The third is the problem of talent. Most of the people who can stay here at present are farmers and hunters who have no strength. First, they have no fighting ability, and second, they have no knowledge, let alone any plans for future development. They can only take care of their current livelihood. Not bad.
Only by understanding the problem can we prescribe the right medicine. Solving these three problems requires a long-term plan. This is really not too difficult for a time traveler with a rich knowledge background. It is just a matter of time.
Zhang Qi pointed to the original location of the town: "Why don't you reinforce the town so that it can resist the attacks of wild beasts."
"We haven't tried it before, but every time we failed, one reason is that we don't know much about the reinforcement method, and it fell down when the beast hit it. The other reason is that we just built it during the day, and then dismantled it again when the beast came at night. There was really nothing we could do, so we simply didn’t reinforce it anymore. The so-called city defense was just empty talk.” The old mayor spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.
However, to Zhang Qi's ears, the old mayor's so-called reinforcement was nothing more than adding more fences, or at most adding some stones. Even if there were no wild beasts colliding with him, if there was bad weather, they would naturally collapse, which would not be solved at all. No defense issues.
"Okay, let's do this, you all listen to me. I have a way to strengthen the town." Zhang Qi knew that it would be a bit difficult to explain at this time, so he simply took over the matter.
"Okay, we'll all listen to you." Of course the old mayor knew what the time traveler was capable of, so he immediately agreed on his behalf.
"First of all, all the "walls" you reinforced before have been demolished and rebuilt. In addition, the town has been made smaller. Because the area is too large, it has lengthened our defense line and is not conducive to dealing with various attacks. "
"Secondly, there is something wrong with your reinforcement method. In the past, you kept building up. The so-called foundation was not strong, and the ground shook, and it was easy to knock it down. This time we changed the method, dug directly down, and laid a solid foundation first. Besides, I found some special stones on the way here. They are very soft. If the carbon ash and soil are neutralized, they should be a good bonding material. I will ask Shang Ding to lead people first. Prepare these things, and prepare some more rocks and the like, the sooner we can start work, the better."
Zhang Qi methodically counted the requirements one by one, and clear construction drawings kept appearing in his mind. At the same time, a rigorous and effective construction plan gradually took shape in his mind.
Even people who don't know the ability of the time traveler can tell that Zhang Qi's plan is very strict, let alone the old mayor who has seen the incredible ability of the time traveler. As the leader of a town, his knowledge is indeed extraordinary. The decision was made immediately.
"Okay, I will mobilize all the villagers to work on this project. I just collected some food some time ago, which should be enough for a while. During this time, we will first build up the town's defense."
Although there are only a small number of people in Canyue Town, they are united, and everyone has no selfish motives and is very innocent. Therefore, the work efficiency is really very high. In less than half a day, almost all the young people from the village outside rushed over. I heard that the mayor invited experts to help with construction, and everyone came running over happily with tools.
According to Zhang Qi's plan, all these people mobilized and started preparing building materials overnight. The young ones dug, the old ones made cart tools, the women were responsible for burning charcoal and cooking, and the younger ones served tea and meals. Zhang Qi was really surprised by the high efficiency.
For example, Zhang Qi didn't have enough wooden boards. They went home and dismantled their own beds and door panels without saying a word. They had no selfish motives at all. Under the influence of this strong public spirit, although there were only four thousand people, the work efficiency was indeed high. terrible. In less than three days, all the supplies Zhang Qi needed were ready.
Under the leadership of Shang Ding, Zhang Qi repeatedly observed the surrounding conditions of the original site. After taking into account various factors such as wild animals and weather, he finally determined the scope of the construction, and a complete construction plan appeared in his mind.
On the first day, all personnel went to work and dug almost one-third of the foundation in just one day. This is still too powerful without excavators and other modern engineering vehicles. This is the power of human unity.
"Okay, that's it for today." Zhang Qi said loudly as night approached.
"Why, we still have the strength, we can do it for a while." Everyone shouted in unison with undiminished interest.
"No, let's end it now, because our wall hasn't been raised yet. As soon as it gets dark, the nearby wild animals will gather here. If it's too late to evacuate, it may cause casualties."
The townspeople were not as comprehensive as Zhang Qi thought. Anyway, they just listened to what Zhang Qi said.
In this way, three days passed, and a beautiful and solid foundation was dug out. The next thing is to build the wall upwards.
Cutting firewood requires sharpening skills. In order to ensure the smooth progress of building the wall and maximize work efficiency, Zhang Qi asked the villagers to set up many traps around the perimeter. The arrangement of this kind of trap can be regarded as Zhang Qi's strength. Even so, it took three days to complete the arrangement.
Unexpectedly, when everyone came over to start work on the fourth day, there were some unexpected gains. Those traps captured a lot of wild animals, which added a lot of meat to the villagers. It can be regarded as temporarily improving everyone's food. .
Although this was just a small episode, it gave the townspeople more confidence, and everyone's work efficiency was once again improved. Almost every day, more than 3,000 people are busy at the construction site. In addition, some young and old who do not work directly on the construction site help deliver meals, and some help deliver tools and water. All in all, the construction site was in full swing. Work efficiency has more than doubled.
On one side, the wild animals deliver food, and on the other side, the villagers speed up construction. In less than half a year, a complex of buildings was built on the land. The outer city wall is 10 meters high, and it was made by Zhang Qi using special clay from Canyue Town. It is no worse than the cement in the previous life, and its sturdiness is impeccable. , almost comparable to the city walls, and it is impossible for some ordinary beasts to enter.
In addition, in order to increase the food source channels, Zhang Qi extended the fence several hundred meters and enclosed the relatively fertile land on the side. In this way, he could safely grow some fruits and vegetables to supplement the food supply.
Not only that, in Zhang Qi's plan, he selected a group of experienced hunters among the young men in the town and taught them some trap-making methods. Since the town is built here, the most food will probably be Those beasts. At the same time, these hunters have also become the main protective force of the town. If any ferocious beasts rush in, they can defend in time.
For the rest of the people, Zhang Qi assigned corresponding tasks according to their different specialties, from organizing women and children to establish a unified textile factory, to large-scale planting of pastoral areas, to the establishment of city wall patrols... Although the population is small, but Some of the industries that should be included are basically there, because Zhang Qi knows that if a town wants to continue to develop healthily, the integrity of the industry and the cooperation between industries are very important, so Zhang Qi has made great efforts in this aspect. time.
After more than a year, a brand new waning moon has stood up again in the weeping east.
