Chapter 455: City Layout Plan ( 2 )

After the refugees were sent to the west district, the government no longer cared about them. After a long time, most of them became beggars or petty thieves.

Besides that, another reason why the west district was undeveloped was that it was near the wasteland. The quality of the land was so bad that even weeds were struggling to grow there.

Although there were mountains, no one dared to go there due to the wild beasts. Another reason was that the mountains were the border between the Great Yan Kingdom and the barbarians.

Even if they were lucky enough to avoid the wild beasts, there were countless cases where people met the barbarians lurking in the mountains. When captured, their fate was either to become slaves or become the barbarians’ two-legged lambs.

No one was willing to gamble with their lives just for a bite of food. So after years, the mountains became a forbidden place for the locals.

Standing on a thick branch, Yao Zhi thought about the city layout in her previous life and called out, "Lu Chi."

The next moment, the mechanical voice of her personal assistant echoed in her mind. "What can I do for you, Host?"

"Lu Chi, help me design a city layout for the Northeast City. I want the design to not only focus on the environment and city landscape but also prioritize the economic development plan and city defense."

"Host, what type of defense do you want for the city?" Lu Chi asked.

Yao Zhi thought for a while before she said, "Make the defense stronger than a city fortress."

Thinking about the Emperor’s unconcealed plan to kill Lu Qianxuan, she added, "It would be better if you could add a hidden mechanism to defend against large-scale troops. Something that could attack the enemies without compromising the city’s defense."

After she stated her requirements, a blue screen appeared in front of her. "Host, please mark the area for the city layout."

Instead of marking the map, Yao Zhi said, "Lu Chi, show me the map for the area within a radius of 10,000 li, with the Northeast City as the center."

The next moment, a large map appeared on the blue screen. Yao Zhi looked at the map and considered it for a long time before she asked, "Lu Chi, can you design a layout for the area on the map?"

"Judging from the size of the area, does the Host plan to build a layout for a small kingdom?"

"If we use a layout for a kingdom, can you design it?"

Lu Chi went silent for a moment before it replied, "The design corner feature can draw any design according to the Host’s requirements."

"But for such a large-scale area, the system needs to divide it into at least 5 prefectural city layouts. Each city will have at least 10 to 15 county towns, and each town will have at least 5 to 10 villages."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi understood. It was not a problem to draw the design. The problem was the price. After all, one design cost her 1 million points.

If it were before, she might be troubled by the high price. But now, she was also one of the tycoons in the Hosts community. Let alone 1 million, even 100 million was not a problem for her now.

With money, her spine was straighter. With a flick of her sleeve, she replied generously, "No problem. Just draw the city layout and also calculate the amount of materials needed for the construction."

Since the Host had given it an order, Lu Chi naturally obeyed. "Understood."

While Lu Chi was drawing the city layout, Yao Zhi already had a plan for her next move. To rebuild the entire city, she needed to discuss it with the owner, Lu Qianxuan.

She was sure that he would agree as long as she gave him enough benefits.

She would provide the materials, and Lu Qianxuan would provide the workers. This would save him a lot of money, which could be used for more important things, such as building his private army.

The first area that needed to be rebuilt was the west district, since it was connected to her estate. To make the city prosper, they needed to improve the economy. To do that, they needed to first build the roads.

Now that she has started hiring workers, she should build roads near her estate first. This would make transporting things easier for her in the future.

After she made up her mind, she came down from the tree.

At this moment, Ling Shi’er and his brothers had already finished setting up the tent and were cooking a pot of porridge.

Seeing this, Yao Zhi took out more supplies from her farmland warehouse and said, "Shi’er, share these supplies with your brothers. Also, take out your empty water vats. I will refill the water for all of you."

When her guards saw the supplies, their eyes lit up. They quickly took out their empty water vats and waited.

After Yao Zhi refilled the vats with the system’s river water, she reminded them, "Remember to boil the water before you drink it."

"Understood," they replied in unison.

They had a meal together before Yao Zhi went to rest in her tent. As for the Ling squad, they took turns on night watch duty and rested.

Early the next morning, Yao Zhi and the Ling squad packed up and left after having breakfast. As the sun rose on the eastern horizon, they continued climbing the mountain.

They climbed for two hours before they had to stop.

After Yao Zhi asked the system to scan the area, they followed the directions on the more detailed map before they found the location of the mine.

Standing outside the small cave entrance, Ling Shi’er asked, "Master, is this the place?"

Yao Zhi rechecked the location and nodded. "It’s here."

To ensure everyone’s safety, she bought safety helmets, flashlights, and some equipment and tools needed in case the cave collapsed from the system’s shop. Each of them received one set.
