Chapter 76: An emerging city! (Part 1)

As the season enters midsummer, the entire southern plains have become more heated.

But this cannot delay the enthusiasm for Athenian town construction at all. All the residents of the town are working hard in the hot summer. Because they know that an emerging city is rising with their efforts!

Roads extending to logging farms and quarries near the town have been opened, and these expanded roads are all paved with stones, which ensures that they will not become muddy on rainy days and will not become dusty on sunny days. The construction of roads can increase the progress of town construction very quickly, and residents no longer have to worry about not being able to transport materials back to Athenian towns in time due to road problems.

Outside the inner city, about three hundred meters away from the port.

The number of goblin slaves with more than 3500 were under the supervision of two teams of Greek infantry, using tools to dig out the riverbed. A team of supervisors was urging them to work hard. If anyone was lazy, they would be whipped down and whipped, so these goblins were very honest. Although the goblin creatures are not very strong, they are smart and can understand the meaning of humans to a certain extent. The most important thing is that they are large in number. After capturing enough goblin slaves, the moat outside the inner city of Athens has started construction.

The length of the moat is about five kilometers, the initial plan is six meters wide and about four meters deep. The goblins and coolies start digging to both sides from the middle, and then open up the river after all is completed. Due to the relatively low level of civilization, the excavation of the moat is relatively slow. Murphy estimates that if the number of slaves is not increased, it may take two or three months!

Currently, there are about 8,000 goblin slaves in the territory, and a certain number of goblin slaves will be added to it every once in a while. Because there are a lot of goblins captured, the goblin groups living in the Wasteland Highlands near the Nidoria River seem to be aware of it. They began to migrate to the inside of the Wasteland Highlands, so the efficiency of capturing slaves is far less than as fast as the beginning.

However, during the goblin capture process during this period, General Marcus Kane obtained a minion that Murphy felt incredible!

"Minister: Goblin Lord-Wild Stone (the chance to capture goblins +10, the commander +1 when fighting goblin creatures)

Explanation: It was originally a lord of a small goblin tribe. But in order to live a life of having meat and clothes every day, it decided to be loyal to the general. It was proficient in goblin language and learned some human language with its own wisdom. It could act as a translator and convince other goblins. It believed that being a slave to the town of Athens was not a bad thing, because you would not have to be whipped if you worked hard, and you would have enough food to eat.

Perhaps in the near future, towns will be able to obtain the source of goblin hard work without arresting.”

As a modern man, although Murphy strictly abides by the rules of the times, he still maintains the characteristics of modern man in some other aspects.

It's like treating these goblin workers, as long as they work hard, Murphy will at least make them full.

This is a rare gift in today's era.

In fact, Murphy was really curious about the structure of these little people's brains. Because in just half a month, many smart goblins have learned a little simple human language. These goblins who are hardworking have been blessed by the sacrificial ritual of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and held the divine majesty ceremony of [goblin slavery]. So from a certain perspective, these goblins are relatively docile, and are at most lazy to this day, and have not resisted supervisors.

One thing that must be mentioned here is.

Murphy promoted a goblin as a inferior citizen of the Athenian town.

That is the entourage of General Marcus Cain, the goblin lord Huangshi! The names of goblins are very strange. They often don’t bother to think and use something as their name. As a general’s entourage, it is not surprising that the goblin entourage was promoted to a lower-class citizen. What Murphy really valued is that this goblin is actually extremely pious to the Goddess of Wisdom!

Perhaps it is not just piety.

This should be closer to a kind of fanaticism!

No matter whether it is windy or rainy, this goblin will pray at the gate of the temple on time no matter whether it is sunny or bright.

At first, it was not allowed to enter the interior of the temple as a goblin. However, this little man was still persevering. He actually knelt outside the temple on time every day and prayed together. Even when it was raining rain, it still persisted. Not only that, after the prayer ended every day, it would also go to the place where the goblin coolie was placed and lead other goblins to pray in the direction of the Temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom!

This finally attracted the attention of Murphy and the high priest.

It is also why Murphy decided to give it inferior citizenship.

Murphy even had a bold idea in his heart, that is, if these goblins entered civilization bit by bit under the influence of humans, he would not even mind giving a group of smart goblins the identity of inferior citizens. Slaving goblins with goblins is undoubtedly a very labor-saving method and is not easy to cause conflicts. Moreover, the smart brains of these creatures also made Murphy look forward to it.

The future of goblins may be expected.

But now, it is better for them to be honest in their hard work.

Since towns are going to be upgraded to cities, there are too many things to be built in the territory.

First of all, as a symbol of a city, Murphy's Governor's Office will be expanded into a larger and more magnificent Governor's Office, which will serve as the ruling center of the entire city. In addition, due to the increase in population, a large number of residential houses need to be built, and the town barracks will also need to be expanded into Chengdu barracks, shops will be upgraded to markets, ports will be built into shipbuilding houses, drainage canals will be included in public baths, etc.!

It can be said that Murphy, who had finally finished leisure, was so busy that he was dizzy during this period and could not be idle for a moment.

Now the territory focuses on the construction of the Governor’s Office, urban military camps and ports.

Due to the large number of goblins and hard work, there is no need to consume much manpower when transporting wood and stone. Many transportation work that does not have much technical content but consumes a lot of manpower have been replaced by goblins, while craftsmen in towns only need to be responsible for technical work in construction. This greatly improves the pace of the town moving towards the city!

As the territory is booming and prosperous, some of the indigenous people with free people are also attracted to decide to live here.

Murphy accepted them and sold them the land.

The territory is now full of barren land, and crops can be grown with a little cultivation.

When land is cultivated and planted, the territory has agricultural tax revenue, and when land is sold, there is another income. This is like a virtuous cycle, which finally made Murphy's increasingly nervous finances more and more abundant. At present, these indigenous people who settled in Athenian towns are about 1,000, mainly concentrated near ports and markets, while the inner city is still dominated by Greek residents.

As mentioned before, Murphy's territory is like an upside-down bowl, surrounded by mountains, but inside is a plain area.

During this period, Murphy also sent cavalry to measure the land, which means roughly estimating the area of ​​the plains within the territory. The results have just come out in recent days. The gentle terrain in the territory is more than 1,000 square kilometers!

If all these lands are reclaimed, it is absolutely no problem to support tens of thousands of people!

As long as the remaining werewolves were swept away, Murphy's territory would also be expanded to more than 1,200 square kilometers, which was nearly one-third of Mrs. Elizabeth's original land.

In other words, Murphy's territory is already the size of a superior county.

According to the habits of human aristocrats in this world, Murphy has been able to add identities such as the Earl of the Earl of the Earl of the Earl of the Earl of the World. In fact, if it was the land of China in the previous life, it would be absolutely no problem to have ten or eight kings according to the standards of Western Europe.

In the evening.

The town residents finished their day's work, and the goblin slaves returned to the resettlement site.

Widths of smoke rose, and the entire territory was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

During the day, Murphy led the General Guard out to survey the terrain and find a suitable place for a new quarry. He did not come back until about five o'clock in the afternoon. The maids were preparing dinner. Murphy saw that it was still early, so he took the General Guard to the port for inspection.

Along the way, the Athenian residents who saw Murphy bowed and bowed one by one.

Even some of the Aboriginal people who lived here leaned over to show their respect to Murphy.

With the development of the territory, the towns and residents saw a bright future. As a result, as the leader of everything, Murphy's reputation has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people bit by bit. This reputation is different from the reputation brought by war. The reputation brought by war can boost morale and give soldiers fearless courage. However, the former can bring hope to people.

The reputation of the battlefield may disappear in a failure.

However, this deeply rooted influence made the residents of Athens stand by Murphy without hesitation.

Because they believe it!

I believe that Lord Lord can bring them a better future.

Murphy has always relied on military merits to rule the entire territory.

But at this moment, before a new city was about to be built in Athens, Murphy also used facts and changed territory day by day to win the recognition of the town residents.
