Chapter 133 Hulu New City

The Hulukou New Town in Rositing County was originally planned to be completed in three years. Due to the emergence of blue brick fire technology, the construction time was saved. The ground broke down in February 729 of the Shen Calendar and was completed by the end of April 731 of the Shen Calendar, which was ten months longer than the expected time.

The next day, he took Amilia, Xiaocui, Kailin and others to the carriage and inspected Hulukou New City, with his own guards following him.

Houses, factories and workshops along the road have been built. In order to save freight, many small and medium-sized families in the kingdom have sent people to Rositing County to open workshops to supply nearby. Although the monthly salary of civilians in Rositing County is higher than that of other counties, this county will not have the worries of shortage of people, and the ratio of men and women is much more reasonable than that of other counties. The road is surrounded by families of veterans. There is no land planting and can only be hired by workshops and sufficient labor.

It is worth mentioning that Glasgow, a foundation-building talisman master who was hired by Zhang Ziqiang before he became rich, was later sent to the family school to manage the family college. After arriving in Rosiding County, he was sent to the Rosiding County United College as the dean. Although his strength was not high, he was very loyal to Zhang Ziqiang and was willing to use his brain to study. Within three months of his use, the academy was managed in an orderly manner.

Zhang Ziqiang received more than 30,000 retired soldiers from Marshal Baru. Except for selecting private troops, all the others were arranged to study at the Formation Academy for free. Glasgow thought about it. Since Mr. Hou promised you to learn how to build talismans and arrange formations, he had to do it. But if he could finish his studies as soon as possible, he could save some money, right?

What are the specialties of Rosyding County now? It is the spirit gathering formation. He grouped the soldiers who entered the academy and only learned one talisman each. A total of twenty-two talismans are needed. There are twenty-five people in each talisman, among which twenty-two talismans are made. As for the principled things, they can be avoided if they can be avoided. Those who are interested can learn to learn. Those who are not interested can only remember the steps of talisman formation. The other three people specialize in the arrangement of the spirit gathering formation, and the same arrangement is also true.

It takes six or seven years to learn how to build talisman formations in other academys. With this trick in his hands, he can learn it in one year, and the speed and pass rate are higher than others. As soon as these people left the academy, they were hired by the whole team of newly opened workshops, making Rosyding County a base for the Kingdom of Al to make the spirit gathering array!

After learning about this, Zhang Ziqiang called Glasgow and rewarded him with 10% of the equity of Rossiding County United College, allowing him to work well in the school. He was happy that Glasgow showed his loyalty and felt that he had made the right choice at the time, otherwise how could he be today?

After returning to the college, Glasgow became more motivated. He knew that the talisman makers learned in this year were quite different from those of the original talisman makers, so he opened various talisman study classes in the college. Each study class was responsible for teaching three talismans, and only taught at night, which was cheaper than regular schooling.

As soon as the study class was opened, the more than 30,000 retired soldiers were basically back. They worked during the day to earn money to support their families, and their income was pretty good. They learned new talismans at night. They could go to the class to learn which one they had to use. They would learn immediately and learn it until they could!

This training method may take ten years to reach the level of formal education, which takes three or four years more than formal education. However, this method is the most suitable for ordinary people. One is not responsible for making money by mistake, the other is that they can learn new technologies and have the ability to practice on their own. There will never be any more phenomena like Glasgow, who is out of school because of his family's lack of money. It is a great merit.

This method has made the division of labor in the talisman making majors more and more refined, and the skills are becoming more and more refined, and the adaptability is extremely strong. The student loans Zhang Ziqiang prepared for Kailin were useless at all, and it has been completely recycled to this day.

The industry of Rositing County's talisman formation has risen rapidly and has divided a large civilian market in the kingdom. Because the kingdom's military orders are now all over the Aidra family, Millum is full and has been authorized by Zhang Ziqiang's spirit-absorbing module, and life is much better than before. While the Stanlow family lost the military orders, the civilian market is squeezed back by Rositing County, and his Majesty Carus has been fined 10 million gold coins, which has greatly damaged his family's vitality.

Peng Lin’s life has been really sad recently! When he decided to accept the punishment, he never thought that he could not even protect the civilian market?

...Zhang Ziqiang and his party came to Hulukou New City. At the gate of the new city is a one-kilometer-long uphill road. There are no houses on the side of this kilometer of road. It belongs to the city's defense buffer area. If someone attacks Hulukou, there is no need to worry about civilians in the city's defense.

The walls of Hulukou New City are made of whole pieces of bluestone and pectin. They are three and a half kilometers long, ten meters high, and seven or eight meters thick. If there are two thousand people guarding the wall with formation guns, as long as there is no shortage of bullets, it is hard to imagine that anyone can break through it.

After entering the city, the first place was the garrison of the 4,000 private troops. Walking further inside was the private troops' family area. Zhang Ziqiang distributed the mountains on both sides of Hulukou to these military families, leaving their own back mountain, but they were also developed by these military families, so Zhang Ziqiang was only responsible for water supply.

The ground at the gourd mouth is only about 40 meters higher than the plain area, so the water intake cannot be placed outside the city, so a deep water well was dug in the front and back half of the city.

A deep water well is not like the earth. A pipe can be deeply drilled. This deep water well has a length and width of five meters. While digging down, the sides are sealed with pectin. After digging out the water, a layer of the surroundings is built with blue bricks. A first-level water pump is installed not far from the water surface of the well. The first-level water pump pumps the water to the large pool on the ground, and then a second-level water pump is used to pump water from the pool.

Zhang Ziqiang also built a large pool on the top of the back mountain, pumping the water in the well up the mountain step by step. All the water used in the city and the irrigation water used for forest development were solved. However, for safety reasons, his own water used in his own home was newly pumped from his own best well.

These private military families are somewhat like the military households of the Ming Dynasty in China. Since they became Zhang Ziqiang's private army, their families of the private army were automatically converted into Zhang Ziqiang's military households, which needed to be resettled by Zhang Ziqiang. At the same time, these military households had to provide Zhang Ziqiang's private army. Men in the Kingdom of Al must serve in the military and become noble private army. Generally speaking, even if their lives are guaranteed, the kingdom rarely uses private army to go to the battlefield.

Several major duke families in the kingdom also have private troops, but the military households are all children of the sidelines. Ordinary civilians do not have such treatment. It is because Zhang Ziqiang's family has risen too fast, so that no family can choose from the civilians. In the kingdom, all men in the family must serve in the military. After becoming Zhang Ziqiang's private army, only one person was born in each of the four thousand families.

The private army is both safe and able to avoid military service. Everyone knows how to choose. This is also the reason why Zhang Ziqiang was scrambling to the point of selecting people from the 38,000 retired soldiers.

Zhang Ziqiang still has 4,000 baby soldiers, now he is thirteen or fourteen years old. He was recruited in the name of a private army at that time, but it is difficult to arrange it now. However, Zhang Ziqiang is not in a hurry. There must be a way before the car arrives at the mountain. I beg His Majesty Carus. If it really cannot be solved, at worst, I will pay some money at that time. These babies have been trained for so many years, and after the disarmament, no one will have any objection, right?

Further in the military living area is the workshop and commercial area. It is rented here to the families of the 400 servants of Dan, and then there are these side-class houses. After all, they are side-class families, so they have to take care of them.

In addition to private military families and side-class families, outsiders are not allowed to enter Hulukou City. These side-class families open shops here. As long as the goods are not much more expensive than the city's takeout, the business of more than 20,000 people in the city will not go away. These people will not worry about their livelihoods, and only 400 elixir servants can serve their lives with peace of mind.

The innermost part of Hulukou New City is about half of the area, with a total area of ​​about ten square kilometers. It is Zhang Ziqiang's private land, all surrounded by walls, with factory workshops on the outside and shops on the street. Further into the garden grassland, Zhang Ziqiang also built a large swimming pool.

He has been here for more than six years, but he hasn't seen anyone who can swim at home. Except for the beach, it is rare to see even rivers in the mainland. Some places and some lakes are shallow. Before there is a water pump, who can use manpower to carry groundwater to build a swimming pool?

Now that there is a water pump, water is no longer a problem. The pond is covered with pectin, surrounded by blue bricks, pavilions, towers and waterfronts, and even a forest is transplanted, where some animals are stocked for his family to watch and hunt.

Usually in the lord's mansion, Zhang Ziqiang and Amilia often mention these scenery, garden-style buildings. Amilia couldn't imagine what it was at first. Later, when his home was decorated with a magic array, Zhang Ziqiang controlled the array card to Amilia to see, which made Amilia fascinated for a while. This time she built the Hulukou New City. She did not hesitate to copy the scenery she saw. When Zhang Ziqiang first came in, he thought he was shopping in Suzhou gardens.

As for the buildings and other facilities, they are much more spacious than the Lord's Mansion. According to Amilia, even if the family develops to a scale of tens of thousands of people in the future, they can be placed here!

Another single courtyard was built in the main building of the family. This single courtyard is the house of the head of the family, and the children and the younger generations live in other areas. Amilia knew that Zhang Ziqiang did not like to disturb others, so she only built a main building in the single courtyard, with a total of four floors.

The first floor is where the servants live, and Zhang Ziqiang does not like to use servants and maids. This floor is apart from a large conference living room and kitchen, and all five hundred maids are included. Of course, the first floor cannot place all five hundred maids, but with the second floor, even if each person has a room, there is still more.

The third floor is the houses of the head of the family and his wives and concubines. Amilia has built 30 identical units, which made Zhang Ziqiang joke with her. The fourth floor is a Qi Refining Room and a Study Room. The house on the third and fourth floors is extremely spacious. Amilia has never seen much of the world. She is just arranged according to the layout of the sworn brother Millum's family, which makes Zhang Ziqiang dizzy.

After the visit, several people were discussing when they moved, Ben Tailan ran up panting and shouted, "Mr. Hou! Great!!"
