Chapter 148 Qixing leads the third town
As of August, the area developed by Andrew had reached 2,500 square kilometers.
A year ago, the newly developed area was only 400 square kilometers. Now it has expanded to this extent. It really fully explains what "horse racing" means.
The newly developed area has a population of more than 30,000 people, and is dotted with villages of various sizes. Some villages have three to five households with more than a dozen people. This kind of existence exists purely for the purpose of declaring sovereignty.
Therefore, Weilin is now faced with a serious problem, re-planning the newly developed area and exploring its value as much as possible.
The impact of the famine sacrifice has passed, and the territory's population growth will slow down, which will also lead to a slowdown in territory expansion.
After all, the bigger the land area, the better. Only with a reasonable population structure, loyal governors, and complete rules and systems can the territory you develop truly belong to you.
On September 1st, Weilin took several knights to the newly developed area.
Under the leadership of Andrew, Verin carefully inspected various areas, just like when he first arrived at the Lake of Star Prayer, he fully understood the information of this area in detail.
"My Lord, the center of the newly developed area is a tributary of the Huangsha River. I named this tributary the Lansha River." Andrew pointed to a clear river at the foot of the mountain and explained to Weilin.
"Why?"
Looking down from the hill, the river is only thirty meters wide at its widest point, running from southeast to northwest.
"Master, please come down with me."
With curiosity, Verin followed Andrew along the river, all the way down.
After more than 20 kilometers, after crossing a hill, a natural lake appeared in front of everyone.
Riding on the red phosphorus horse, looking into the lake, the entire lake is like a blue gauze spread flat on the earth.
"I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful place here." Weilin couldn't help but admired.
Andrew pointed to the lake in the distance and explained: "My lord, this lake is called Lansha Lake, so the river that flows into this lake is called Lansha River."
"This place was originally the initial place where a pioneer opened up his territory. The gathering place he founded three years ago was destroyed in a monster attack. He himself also died in that disaster, so it became a no-owner's land again. Eight It was occupied by my subordinates a month ago."
"It seems that this person's life is short. It is a natural and primitive place with no luck but no strength to protect it." Weilin shook his head and commented to Andrew.
Andrew did not answer and continued to explain: "My lord, this is an excellent place to build a city. My subordinates suggest that we use this as the center to establish and manage the surrounding administrative areas."
"Okay, I'll follow your suggestion." Weilin nodded and said, "I will move the Luo Niu Camel Ranch here in Qixing Town, and you will have to worry about the other things. It is impossible for me to allocate resources to you without limit. "
"I understand, Lord," Andrew replied.
"Now, the new administrative center is decided, this town, you can name it."
Verin looked at Andrew and gave him the chance to name the new town.
Andrew pondered for a while, and finally gave up the hint in Weilin's words, and chose to follow the naming in his heart: "Let's call this town Lansha Town."
Kyle heard the name and saw his master nodding, so he recorded the name in a new area on the map - Lansha Town, the third town in Qixing Territory after Qixing Town and Orlando Town.
According to the latest administrative division, the newly developed area will be allocated an area of 850 square kilometers to Qixing Town, and the remaining 1,650 square kilometers of land will be divided into two parts.
Part of it is the administrative area of Lansha Town, covering 1,100 square kilometers.
Part of it is a buffer development area, which is managed by Lansha Town and covers an area of 550 square kilometers.
For this part of the area, as the name suggests, it is free to develop. At this stage, Weilin will not invest any resources in development. What it can develop into depends entirely on its own destiny.
Calculated in this way, the area of Orlando Town will become the smallest area among the three towns, only 800 square kilometers.
"In two years, we won't be able to expand outside because we won't be able to eat."
"But that doesn't mean we will stop pioneering."
"So, I hope that Lansha Town can develop within these two years. By then, it will at least serve as a hub for Qixing Town to connect to the northern region. You can do it."
After listening to Weilin's words, Andrew fell silent, then saluted and promised: "Within two years, my subordinates will definitely develop Lansha Town."
"I believe in your ability and hope you can surprise me."
After completing this investigation, Weilin returned to his regular schedule.
Starting from September, Qixing Ling has officially formed a structure of three towns and two districts, namely Qixing Town, Orlando Town, Lansha Town, Binghan District and Buffer Development Zone.
……
In mid-September, the four ivy trees produced their first batch of sap, which was personally escorted to the castle by Randolph and others.
Verin came to the training ground, looked at the light blue juice in the special iron bucket, and listened to Randolph's report.
"My lord, this is the first time that the ivy tree has produced fruit, a total of sixteen kilograms."
"In addition, there are nine ivy trees in Qingteng Mountain, including four adult trees and five seedlings."
"Is there any estimate of how long it will take for the ivy tree seedlings to mature?" Verin asked Randolph.
Randolph heard this and replied: "Twenty-five to thirty years, it should be in this range."
"Growth time is a problem, but it can't be solved at this stage."
Verin recalled the growth acceleration magic recorded in the Book of Druid. It can be learned only if the Druid profession reaches Silver level, but it can only be effective on ordinary crops.
For a special plant like the ivy tree, at least a gold-level druid is needed.
Suddenly, Verin thought of a solution. There was not a ready-made druid professional in the Adventurer's Tavern, but he just didn't know if the other party would.
"Get ready, bottle up the ivy tree sap, and come with me to visit someone this afternoon."
"Yes, my lord." Randolph replied respectfully.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Verin took several people to the Adventurer's Tavern to visit Algerta.
On the second floor of the Adventurer Tavern, Verin and Argenta sat face to face. Kyle and Randolph stood behind Verin, while the others were waiting on the first floor of the tavern.
"My friend, I haven't seen you for a while." Argenta poured a glass of wine for Verin and asked doubtfully.
Weilin picked up the wine glass, put it to his mouth, and took a sip.
"Argeta, your wine-making skills are getting better and better."
"Thank you for the compliment." Argenta was very impressed by Weilin's praise.
