45: Tongtian City

“Although I don't understand it, I am greatly shocked. I say, this city you designed is too big, isn't it?” Looking at the complex and massive planning map, Han Huohuo's mouth couldn't close.

“I've seen the big map. That area is very large. If a city is built, after deducting farmland, mines, and military facilities, it should be able to accommodate one million people.

I designed this blueprint for only one hundred thousand people, but I left the foundation for expanding to one million people in the future, so it can be directly expanded later.”

Mu Jiu said very seriously.

Han Huohuo was stunned. One hundred thousand people? His broken camp only had a total of thirty-something living people. Building a city for one hundred thousand people, are you kidding?

As for one million people, Han Huohuo pretended he didn't hear it.

“Lord, if you want to achieve something in this world, this city will be your biggest reliance in the future. If you don't even have hundreds of thousands of people, what strength do you have to stand in this world? To become a great person?”

A great person needs strength and capital; they cannot rely on imagination and flattery.

Han Huohuo was stunned for a long time.

Mu Jiu's words made him think a lot.

A few days ago, he was full of passion and said he wanted to unify the world and become the overlord of the world, but most people are just hot-blooded for three minutes, continuously muddled along, waiting for death. If he really wanted to go down this path, it couldn't be done by relying solely on mechanical alone.

His perspective, after all, was still small!

“But where do we get so many people?”

“You forgot, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are vagrants everywhere. If we can incorporate these vagrants, won't we have people? These vagrants are not all idlers; there are many capable and strange people among them. I believe this is not a problem.”

“The ideal is good, but the upper limit of the population our Main Camp can govern is only 1000 people...”

“What about that? We should quickly collect resources and upgrade with all our strength, don't you think? Maybe one day, you will rule the world and govern trillions of people! Don't you think?”

Han Huohuo stared at Mu Jiu's bright eyes, watching her talk about ruling the world as simply as drinking water and eating. Suddenly, a fire started to burn in his heart.

Han Huohuo had ambition, and he also had self-knowledge. In this strange world, his current strength was actually less than a drop in the bucket. There were too many massive forces that could easily crush him.

However, a single Star can start a prairie fire!

Any towering tree grows from a weak seed.

Han Huohuo was moved.

“Okay, I'm convinced by you. You're right, build it on this scale! I'll also leave the matter of recruiting people entirely to you.” Han Huohuo finally approved the city building plan.

Mu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sweetly at Han Huohuo, more charming than a vixen, and then she immediately went to arrange for Liu Qiang to recruit new residents.

Staring at Mu Jiu's pure and charming face, Han Huohuo sighed. It's over, I can't escape the honey trap.

Mu Jiu's plan was grand, but Han Huohuo knew the biggest hidden danger within it: with more people, more food would be needed!

That place was a large plain, extremely suitable for farming. In this world, crops mature every seven days, so theoretically there shouldn't be a shortage of food, but it is early winter now, and farming is impossible for several months.

How to get through these six months?

Is hunting enough?

Han Huohuo was thinking about countermeasures, while Mu Jiu continued to research and arrange the details of the move.

Before long, Hua Mulan also arrived. He discussed the layout of military facilities with Hua Mulan for a long time, mainly city walls, arrow towers, and the deployment of mechanical warriors. Then Hua Mulan made a request for Han Huohuo to train some ordinary human soldiers.

“We can't just leave maintaining order and guarding the city gates to mechanical soldiers, right? That would make the whole city too cold and scare everyone. Besides, your mechanical workers are so capable, they can mine and farm, and many residents' jobs have been taken. These unemployed residents also need an outlet, such as becoming soldiers, don't you think?”

“Okay, do as you say. I'll go get a barracks back. How about using Spearmen to maintain order?”

“Okay!”

There are many barracks for Spearmen, and some people sell them on the trading channel, and they are very cheap.

For Han Huohuo, this cost is nothing.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already the next day.

Han Huohuo didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning, and reconsidering it several times in his mind before confirming that there were no major problems.

Perfection is impossible, even immortals cannot do it. As long as there are no major problems, you can try to do it.

Turning around, he saw the little girl sleeping soundly, with long eyelashes and skin like sheep fat. Perhaps it was a bit cold, and she was leaning into Han Huohuo's arms. Han Huohuo suddenly felt that he might really be a born bad person.

That's good.

Only bad people can live long.

A Lord can never be a soft-hearted person; it will kill everyone who follows him.

Suddenly, Han Huohuo remembered something. It seemed that this little girl was brought by Gou San's wild imagination. This Gou San is a bit interesting; he must be rewarded this time.

At this moment, Gou San was hiding under the covers and crying. His salary had just been halved by Mu Jiu, and he had a bitter taste but didn't dare to speak, not even daring to go to Han Huohuo to complain, since he had offended the Boss Lady.

Tragic!

After dawn, Han Huohuo had made up his mind.

Most of the buildings in Black Wind Stronghold did not need to be demolished. Han Huohuo had a “Building Order” and could use it to build a new city.

Mu Jiu didn't think much of the buildings in Black Wind Fortress; they were messy and lacked aesthetic layout. Even as a bandits den, it was the most chaotic and worst kind. She preferred to abandon this place and rebuild everything in the new city, where it could be rebuilt according to her plan, cleaner and tidier.

Han Huohuo was a pragmatist. When he built it initially, he just used any empty space, without considering future development. Now it looks a bit like a slum in a certain large South Asian country.

The group first rode horses to the river.

A large river lay across the opposite side, a natural barrier. In the middle of the valley, a large area of fertile land appeared before their eyes.

Mu Jiu had only studied it on the map before, but seeing the real scene with her own eyes, she immediately fell in love with it, her eyes full of little Stars with excitement.

So beautiful!

A plain among the mountains, with beautiful scenery and fertile land.

It really is a place where dragons rise.

“Huohuo, this is really a good place, it's so amazing. It's hard to say that one day, this place will become the center of power in the world.”

Hua Mulan heard Mu Jiu's affectionate address to Han Huohuo and almost couldn't breathe and fell off her horse. How many days has it been? She heard that this girl had a husband, didn't she? How did it become like this in two days?

Dirty ears, can't listen, really can't listen.

“Give the new city a name!”

Both women looked at Han Huohuo.

Han Huohuo hadn't read much, so how could he come up with a name? But he was the Lord, and it seemed inappropriate to let others do this.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that the river next to it was called Tongtian River, and the city was by the river. His heart moved: “Let's call it Tongtian City!”

The two women clapped together: “Not bad, this name is domineering, well done, let's call it Tongtian City!”

Han Huohuo took out the Building Order.

【Are you sure you want to use the Building Order to build a new city? It requires 100,000 wood and 50,000 stone. The current resources have met the conditions.】

“Confirm!”

【Please confirm the name of the new city, please confirm the location of the Main Camp.】

“Tongtian City!”

Han Huohuo built the Main Camp according to the location already planned by Mu Jiu.

【Do you want to transfer the Crystal to this city?】

“Yes!”

This will be his main city in the future, so of course the Crystal must be transferred here to feel secure.

A bright blue Crystal appeared next to the Main Camp!

Another building that needed to be transferred was the Dragon Kingdom Armory. The Dragon Kingdom Armory building was extremely special; it didn't belong to the buildings within the system.

It was more like Han Huohuo's private space.

Han Huohuo built the Armory in a mountain hollow on the edge of the valley. This place was very hidden. Later, checkpoints would be set up here to prevent ordinary people from accessing this Armory, which was his biggest secret.
