There has been progress in Yongzhou, but there have been changes in Xinfeng County.

After a few days of sultry heat, the sky finally changed. Thick dark clouds gradually came, and the horizon in the distance was gloomy...

The storm is coming, and this is the consensus of everyone.

The outdoor construction has stopped, so I will do my best to protect you. God will not give you time. I can’t tell you when a heavy rain will come.

The only thing you can do is prepare in advance!

There are many things to do.

The fired cement must be protected. If it is wet by rain, it will be scrapped...

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Kang arranged laborers to dig ditches outside Xinfeng County. If there was really heavy rain at that time, it would be able to discharge floods, and it would also be able to stockpile water to become a moat...

Everything was going on in a tight mood, but God did not give him much time after all. In the evening of this day, the clouds were covered with clouds and gathered over Xinfeng County.

With the sound of thunder, the raindrops began to fall...

"Quick, put the sandbag here!"

"Go and see if there is any cover there..."

"Erwa, I'm back home, don't go up the mountain!"

Not only Wang Kang made the arrangements, but even the people were very nervous.

Every year due to mountain torrents, Xinfeng County suffers countless disasters, and how many villages are washed away by mountain torrents...

Over time, raindrops connect into lines to form rain curtains.

The weather is cooler, but Wang Kang is in a heavy mood.

Although protection has been taken as much as possible, no one can tell how heavy the rain will be or what power the mountain torrent will have.

"Master Kang, this rain is probably unusual!"

Nie Zhongxing said with a sad face,

Wang Kang asked, "All the immigrants have been arranged?"

To build a new city, some of the houses have been demolished, and these people have no houses to live in. Wang Kang first built a simple residence in the open space outside the city.

But these residences cannot guarantee safety during heavy rains and mountain torrents.

"It's settled," Nie Zhongxing responded.

Wang Kang said again: "Where is the tunnel? It's the most important thing there is no problem... You can't let the water pour in," he said.

"Don't worry about this,"

Nie Zhongxing said: "When you designed it, the tunnel entrance itself was tall and there were special flow channels on it, so there would be no problems!"

"Zhou Qing, order the family's private soldiers to be prepared at any time. If there is really a mountain torrent and a place that is affected by disaster, dispatch as soon as possible..."

"Yes!" Zhou Qing replied.

The rain hit the ground and made a crackling sound. Wang Kang stood in front of the window and watched. The rain was unexpected and disrupted his arrangements and affected the construction progress.

But there is no way, I can only wait.

All construction sites have arranged personnel to report the situation at any time...

Apart from that, nothing can be done.

Wang Kang returned to the study and took this time to continue to improve the plan for building a new city.

This is a city, and there are many things to consider, not only the ICC, but also the corresponding urban defenses must also keep up.

Take everything into consideration.

At this moment, Wang Kang was thinking about whether to build a city wall...

The city wall is a city with the most basic protection, and it can be installed to guard soldiers and fortifications.

Xinfeng County also has city walls, but they are low and dilapidated. If they really encounter war, they will not work at all.

Moreover, Wang Kang's new plan will expand the original area, and the city wall is prepared as an inner city...

What should I do?

Building a city wall with such a large area is another huge project, and the current situation is obviously not up to date.

If it's just an ordinary city wall, it doesn't make any sense...

Wang Kang rubbed his forehead and came to the window again. Through the rain curtain, he could see the mountains in the distance. Wang Kang's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

Xinfeng County is surrounded by mountains, which is the natural perfect barrier. City wall? What city wall is needed?

No need at all.

The big reason for the rampant bandits in Xinfeng County was that there were many mountains and lands.

Why not just follow this principle?

Just set up more posts on the mountain, make good equipment to defend against enemies, and get stuck in the important road...

This is enough, much more useful than the city walls.

Yes, that's it.

Since we are going to build a new city, our defense must be different from other cities...

Wang Kang returned to the table and wrote his thoughts on paper...

"Bang, bang,"

After a while, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in." Wang Kang said.

Qing Erniang came in with an umbrella. After saluting, she said, "Young Master Kang, I found out that Miss Zhang has indeed returned to Xuanwu City. As for the follow-up, I haven't found it yet."

Wang Kang nodded and understood. It was understandable that Xuanwu City was Zhang Ao's base camp, so how could it be easily explored?

And he guessed that Zhang Xianxian must have something special when she went back this time.

Including what she said that day and the special pulse that she vaguely discovered, there must be a deep secret in it...

"However, I will arrange personnel and lay out the ground net there," Qing Erniang added.

"News came from Xiao Huan that Han Yuanyi has agreed to your arrangement and he will cooperate with him with all his strength."

This is good news.

Wang Kang thought for a while and ordered: "You inform Xiao Huan to let him be there and secretly make a secret plan for Han Yuanyi. Some of the people we have installed in the Earl's Mansion in Yongding can be contacted and used occasionally."

"It took a lot of effort to install and buy people in the Earl's Mansion of Yongding, and it was very important..."

Wang Kang said: "You can inform the part so that he can arrange things..."

"Is there anything else?"

"Tang Qingyi could have arrived today, but after this rain, I'm afraid there will be delays..."

Qing Erniang said again: "I'm going to Kyoto and arrange an intelligence network. When I leave, the mistress will be responsible for the local network. I have arranged for my subordinates to report."

The local network belongs to the intelligence part, and its importance is different, so it can only be the responsibility of the person you trust the most.

The mistress Qing Erniang mentioned was Li Qingman. During the contact, she and Yuan Yan knew that the beautiful courtesan beside Young Master Kang was the real master...

That's why this decision was made.

Wang Kang understood what Qing Erniang meant and nodded, "There are family shops in Kyoto. If you encounter any problems or need money, you can go find them. I will notify the person in charge there."

"Yes," Qing Erniang replied.

Wang Kang got up and walked to the window, looked at the rain outside and said lightly: "Let's go after this rain..."

Qing Erniang looked at Wang Kang's back. Although it was the same as before, she always felt that it was a little different. She couldn't tell what it was.

And this change seems to be after Miss Zhang left...

The rain kept falling, and by the evening, it was almost dark.

Even the county government offices have water everywhere, not to mention other places.

Wang Kang's heart is getting heavier and heavier!

After a while, Nie Zhongxing ran over in panic and reported: "Young Master Kang, there has been a mountain torrent on Yuntai Mountain..."
Chapter completed!
