Chapter 58 Blackwater City Phase I Project
Du Ming still has some tricks up his sleeve.
In just one week, all the craftsmen and supplies Qin Mo wanted were prepared.
I don’t know if it was because of Qin Mo’s power.
In order to purchase this batch of supplies, Qin Mo spent all the 2,000 gold coins he brought with him, leaving only 500 gold coins given to him by the great wizard before leaving, which were prepared for the transportation fee.
In order to secretly transport these supplies out of the tribe, Qin Mo ran back and forth more than twenty times.
Fortunately, his dimensional space is big enough.
After the supplies were transported away, Qin Mo led more than 2,000 craftsmen out of the city.
As the name suggests, a craftsman household is a unit that includes not only the craftsman himself, but also his wife, children, and the elderly. On average, one household has six people.
The more than 2,000 people actually consisted of more than 300 households, and there were only 500 to 600 real craftsmen.
But it's enough.
After leaving the city, Qin Mo took all the people to the teleportation array in the suburbs under the cover of night. He paid 400 gold coins for the teleportation fee and teleported them all to the Black Water Tribe.
At the tribal square, the great wizard was already waiting with his men.
In order to welcome the arrival of the new tribesmen, the great wizard was not idle either. He organized people to temporarily build two huge warehouses to store the supplies purchased by Qin Mo.
All the tents bought by Qin Mo were set up in the square overnight.
Using the bows, crossbows, swords and knives brought by Qin Mo, and following Qin Mo's orders, martial arts gym owner Zhao Gang armed two hundred hunting teams and transformed them into the tribe's first garrison force.
Currently responsible for maintaining order in the square.
In the next period of time, before the formal houses are built, the two thousand craftsmen will live in the square temporarily, with each family living in a tent.
Barely settled down.
…
Qin Mo was the last one to walk out of the teleportation array.
Seeing that the great wizard had arranged everything in an orderly manner, after handing over the personnel roster, he did not stop, but returned to his own courtyard and exited "Honghuang".
The next day, Qin Mo came online again.
"The Blackwater Tribe develops into a medium-sized tribe, and the experience value increases by 50,000 points."
Heaven's judgment is swift.
In this way, Qin Mo's accumulated experience points reached 220,000 points.
No hesitation.
"Consume 200,000 experience points to deduce the first volume of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art."
"In the process of deduction..."
" Deduction completed!"
The contents of the first volume of "Eight-Nine Profound Art" were poured into Qin Mo's mind and digested and absorbed by him.
In addition to the first-level martial arts technique "Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique", the upper volume also includes the second-level "Five Elements Tribulation" and the third-level "Wind and Thunder Tribulation", which is enough for Qin Mo to practice for a long time.
The Eight-Nine Profound Art is a technique for physical cultivation. From the second turn on, it can only be cultivated by oneself and cannot be accelerated by using experience points.
"The Tribulation of the Five Elements", as the name suggests, is about going through the trials of the five elements of gold (weapons), wood (miasma), water (cold springs), fire (flames), and earth (magma), and eventually developing a body of the five elements.
For each exercise, there are detailed records of methods, techniques and precautions.
For example, the first calamity - the calamity of war, requires Qin Mo to be beaten with swords and knives, his flesh and blood will be destroyed, his tendons and bones will be broken, and this must be repeated nine times before he can succeed.
It's just a masochist.
Qin Mo pressed it temporarily to check the new territory mission - develop into a large tribe, experience value +100,000 points .
The requirements are simple as usual: a population of 10,000 and the need to maintain food and clothing.
According to normal logic, if you want to develop into a large tribe, you should introduce farmers, reclaim wasteland, and slowly expand the population and upgrade the city while ensuring food supply.
But who can blame Qin Mo for having obsessive-compulsive disorder?
He didn't like to demolish and rebuild, build and demolish again, he just wanted to build the city in one go.
Therefore, Qin Mo will continue to introduce craftsmen to give priority to the construction of Blackwater City before talking about reclaiming arable land and developing agriculture.
The problem is that Qin Mo has already fooled the master architect Du Ming once, and he may not be able to fool him again.
Moreover, this time there are not 2,000 people, but 6,000 to 7,000 people, which is equal to one-third of the Shaofu's assets. Even Du Ming may not be able to make the decision.
We need to think long-term.
Fortunately, the first phase of construction of Blackwater City has not yet begun, so there is no rush.
While Qin Mo was thinking about it, the great wizard Ji Ye stepped into the yard, his face flushed with ruddy light. It was obvious that he was very excited about the prosperity of the tribe and was full of energy.
"It's good to be motivated." Qin Mo smiled secretly.
"Chief, with so many new people coming at once, do you have any plans?" asked the great wizard.
"Build a city." Qin Mo said.
"Are we really going to build a city?" The great wizard was even more excited than Qin Mo, his beard shaking up and down.
No wonder the great wizard lost his composure.
In this vast wilderness full of dangers and rampant monsters, a city not only provides the tribe members with both physical and psychological protection, but also serves as a symbol of the tribe's strength.
Not to mention medium-sized tribes, even large tribes may not be able to build cities.
"The two thousand tribesmen who moved here this time are all craftsmen who are best at building cities," said Qin Mo.
"Then, how big should the city be built?" the great wizard asked nervously.
"Ten kilometers long and wide."
“…Ahem…” The great wizard almost choked to death on his saliva. “Did I hear correctly? Ten kilometers, that’s a super huge city comparable to the royal city.”
"Yes, can't the Black Water Tribe be king?" Qin Mo was calm.
From a modern perspective, a city covering an area of 100 square kilometers is estimated to be about the size of a county-level city, not even as big as a prefecture-level city.
There's really nothing to be surprised about.
Seeing that Qin Mo was serious, the Great Wizard reminded him, "With the current size of the tribe, it will take at least ten years to build this city, provided that we do not engage in production and focus on building the city."
"I didn't say it has to be completed in one go." Qin Mo stated his plan.
Blackwater City is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The outer city wall is temporarily surrounded by wooden stakes and wooden boards, similar to a fence, which barely serves as a warning. What really needs to be built is the inner city.
The inner city wall was built with bricks and stones, and the adhesive was the cement brought by Qin Mo.
"The tribe's top priority right now is to get the logging camp and quarry up and running. We also need to select sites to build more than 20 brick kilns and tile kilns to reserve building materials for the construction site," said Qin Mo.
It takes several months just to prepare the materials.
It will take at least half a year for the inner city wall to be completed, and Qin Mo will then have arrangements for the next stage.
"Now that you put it that way, I understand." Seeing that Qin Mo's plan was orderly and he was not vain, the great wizard was completely relieved and took the initiative to say, "Leave the city building to me."
He also knew that Qin Mo couldn't stay at the construction site every day.
"Then I'll have to trouble the great wizard." Qin Mo clasped his fists. The food he purchased this time was enough for the tribe to use for half a year. Even if there was a shortfall, he could make up for it through hunting.
Without any worries, building the city will go smoothly.
"By the way, this is for you." Qin Mo handed over a storage bag.
Inside was a set of talisman pens and talisman ink used by Yu Ji, a stack of blank talisman paper, a stack of talismans, some odds and ends that Qin Mo could not use, and two volumes of Taoist books, "Dunjia Tianshu" and "Taiping Qingling Dao".
"The Divine Calculation of Tian Yan" cannot be shared easily.
"This is too expensive." The great wizard looked embarrassed.
"Take it. It's not easy to guard the tribe. These two volumes of Taoist magic are suitable for practice in the tribe. The great wizard can teach them on your behalf." Qin Mo said.
Qin Mo has read the "Black Water True Method" of the Black Water Clan, which is comparable to the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" and is only suitable for people with water-based spiritual roots.
No wonder the tribe can’t produce any Qigong practitioners.
"Okay, I'll keep it." The great wizard looked at Qin Mo with an increasingly friendly gaze.
Although Qin Mo's actions seem to be wild and unrestrained, he is always planning for the tribe. Even if he is not there often, there is no more competent tribe leader than him.
…
After everything was settled, Qin Mo left the tribe.
This time he did not go to Luoyang, but rode the White Dragon Horse straight to Liaodong. Calculating the time, from the time he went to Beijing to report on his work, his long journey was delayed for a whole winter.
I don’t know what the situation in Liaodong is like now.
