Chapter 175 City Planning

The matter of the formation golden elixir is indeed more difficult, but there is no rush yet. Feng Tianzong has not even condensed the magical elixir yet, so there can still be a buffer for some time regarding the formation golden elixir.

Feng Tianzong discussed some common sense in the world of immortality with his young wife, and then returned to Liaoyuan City with Taishi Mingzhen.

There was no need for Feng Tianzong to worry about government affairs. With General Zhang Weiyu here, there was no need for him to worry about military matters for the time being. He didn't need to practice every day like Taishi Mingzhen. The whole person was at ease.

After wandering around the city for a few days, the security in the city is indeed good, but the streets are still too narrow, and the houses on both sides of the road are low and dilapidated. It feels a bit unworthy of the status of the capital of Northern Xinjiang. After all, it used to be just a city in Northern Xinjiang. An eye-catching little town.

Even though there has been development over the years and the population has increased a lot, it has never been overhauled. Instead, it has become increasingly dirty because of the overpopulation.

Feng Tianzong has already set up the formation here. It would be too troublesome to move it. Because the mountains and rivers are different, the entire formation needs to be readjusted.

"It's time for Liaoyuan City to be rebuilt. It's time to take advantage of this relatively peaceful period to re-plan the city and incorporate the entire city into the formation." Feng Tianzong was walking on the streets of Liaoyuan City in reverie.

The original Liaoyuan City was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city was better built and was inhabited by wealthy gentry families and the families of officials in the city. The outer cities are full of poor people and are relatively dirty and messy.

Later, after Feng Tianzong slaughtered all the wealthy gentry in the city, he turned the entire inner city into his own Weiyang Palace. All the residences of the government offices and officials' families were moved to the outer city.

Coupled with the continuous recruitment of refugees in Liaoyuan City over the years, the population has skyrocketed. This has resulted in smaller and smaller places for poor people in outer cities to live.

His Twelve Yuan Chen Heavenly Light and Earthly Evil Formation used the Heavenly Light and Earthly Evil Formation, but there was still one person missing. He just took advantage of this opportunity to rebuild the city and bring the entire city's population into the nodes of the formation.

Every house is a node of a large formation, which just makes up the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

The more Feng Tianzong thought about it, the more he thought this method was good, so he simply drew the blueprints of the formation and re-planned the city. Widen streets, build toilets, baths, and markets.

Combine all these buildings with the grand formation. By absorbing the energy of the red dust and fireworks into the formation, as long as a monk enters the city, his cultivation will be suppressed by the energy of the red dust and fireworks in the formation, and he will not be able to exert all his magic power.

"Go and call Wang Mingyuan to see me." Feng Tianzong returned to Weiyang Palace and ordered.

Soon Wang Mingyuan entered the palace to pay an audience.

"See my lord." Wang Mingyuan saluted and said. He was working in the Yamen when he suddenly heard that Feng Tianzong wanted to see him. He thought something big had happened and trotted all the way to see Feng Tianzong.

It's not surprising that he would think so. In fact, the lord Feng Tianzong is a real hands-off shopkeeper. He almost never comes to see him unless there is something important. Every time he is summoned, something big must happen.

"Wang Mingyuan, now that we have unified Northern Xinjiang, is the treasury still full?" Feng Tianzong asked.

"Reporting to my lord, to be honest, it's not enough." Wang Mingyuan said with a troubled expression.

"After we sent troops to attack three cities before, we confiscated the fields and properties of the big gentry families in the cities. At that time, we had unprecedented abundance of food, grass, and money.

But then we fought one after another and unified the entire northern Xinjiang, but we could only get out but not get in. The wealthy gentry families in the city had already transferred their property to the pass.

Except for the fields and shops that cannot be taken away, most of the city's treasury has been emptied by these borers. Even these bastards collected taxes in advance when the situation on the front line was unfavorable.

Now the officials of the entire Northern Xinjiang City 15, as well as office expenses and military training expenses, all rely on our previous treasury in Liaoyuan City.

To say that the lord has quite a lot of fields now, there should be no shortage of food this autumn. It's just that there really isn't much money left in the treasury. "Wang Mingyuan cried.

He didn't know why Feng Tianzong asked about the treasury, but it was always right to cry about poverty first. Since the Lord asked, he must have a plan to spend money. He had to let Feng Tianzong know how difficult it was for him.

"I am going to rebuild Liaoyuan City. Can you calculate how much it will cost? If it is built with the Hu slaves who were captured at the beginning, it shouldn't cost too much, right? If it's not enough, then include all the untouchables. ." Feng Tianzong made the request directly.

"To what extent does the lord want to rebuild? Should the city wall be expanded? Or should the roads be rebuilt?" Wang Mingyuan asked. He also knew that the current Liaoyuan City was not worthy of its status as the capital of Northern Xinjiang, and it was indeed necessary to rebuild.

"I am going to knock down the entire outer city and rebuild it. Not only the roads will be rebuilt, but all the houses in the city will also be rebuilt according to a unified plan. The current Liaoyuan City is too messy and disorderly. And now that the population in the city has increased, the outer city has also It’s not enough to live in.” Feng Tianzong said.

"My lord, if we demolish them all and rebuild them, it will be a big project. Please think twice, lord, our treasury is not very full now, and we have demolished the houses in the city. Where will the people live? Even if slaves are used to build it, then The amount of money spent to resettle the people is not a small amount.

I'm afraid I can't do it now. Otherwise, my lord should wait two years before considering rebuilding Liaoyuan City! "Wang Mingyuan consoled him.

Feng Tianzong shook his head and said, "There is no need to tear down and rebuild everything at once. Let the slaves and untouchables burn bricks first, and then build residential areas outside the city walls.

After the outside is built, the residents in the city will be moved out in batches, and then the inside of the city walls will be rebuilt."

When Wang Mingyuan heard this, his eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way to save money. Liaoyuan City still has tens of thousands of Hu slaves, all of whom were prisoners of war.

Using these slaves to work, there is no need to pay wages, just give them food, which does not cost much money. As long as the houses outside the city are built first, when the time comes to move the people out, there will be no need for resettlement fees, and the new houses will be used as resettlement fees.

"My lord is wise, I will mobilize the slaves and let them start building houses." Wang Mingyuan said.

"Don't worry, this is the style of the house. Where to build residential houses and where to build markets are all considered. You have people build according to the requirements on this drawing." Feng Tianzong handed the drawing to Wang Mingyuan.
