"That's it..." An Lila said in a long voice, well, she didn't understand why she did this, it's fine to go to the big market or something.

"Here are the architectural drawings of residential buildings and parks, as well as precautions." Liu Feng took out a large stack of envelopes from the drawer, the size of which was obtained by consulting an architect on Earth.

"I will arrange it." An Li took the blueprint and asked doubtfully, "Master, what about the city wall of Xiyang City? There should not be enough manpower."

This residential building requires hundreds of people to start construction together, and the construction of the city wall also requires a lot of manpower. Considering the manpower of about 10,000 people in Xiyang City, it is really too much. After all, land reclamation, the army, the elderly and children account for more than half of the people. Not to mention the construction of ports, workshops, etc. all need people.

"Insufficient manpower..." Liu Feng frowned, yes, the population is still too small, but there are not many migrants at once, even if they go to buy slaves, they will not be able to buy many slaves. Most importantly, there is no capture without buying and selling.

He was thinking, if the tribe of 30,000 to 40,000 orcs were merged into Xiyang City, it would be great, then multi-line construction could be started, that is, the construction of buildings tens of meters high could be carried out at the same time.

"Master, it's the beginning of spring, and few people will come to our place." An Li said helplessly, the beginning of spring is the time for planting seeds, and the nobles in other cities will not let their labor leave their territories, so they must plant spring wheat anyway. Spring is the time for nobles Period of closed territory entry and exit.

Liu Feng frowned and thought about how to increase the population. There are several ways in this era. The most important one is war, invading other cities and plundering the population back. The second is that there is some kind of disaster that makes all the nobles and civilians in the territory flee.

For the war, Liu Feng does not consider it for the time being. His territory is now developing steadily, and the consumption caused by the war may not be able to support the plundered civilians. After all, wars are fought for supplies.

"Master, do you want to discuss with that orc tribe and let the other party send some orcs to help? After all, the other party has to raise so many orcs." An Liti suggested, flicking the fox's tail.

"You can give it a try." Liu Feng nodded. He didn't have much hope for this suggestion. It's hard for orcs to trust human races, unless the other party came to Xiyang City to see it.

Chapter 0526 potential disaster.

"Garji~~"

The study door was pushed open, Mina stepped in and said softly, "Master, there is still half an hour left before the ribbon-cutting time for the pontoon bridge, are we going to leave?"

"Oh? It's ten o'clock." Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, stretched his waist, and said with a light smile, "Let's go, people who open up wasteland should wait anxiously."

Liu Feng got up and walked outside, followed by Hu'er Niang and Mao'er Niang. Today is the day when the pontoon bridge will be opened, and the opposite of Youshui River will be the big granary of Xiyang City in the future.

The three of them quickly got into the carriage and were escorted out of the castle by the wolf team. When the carriage came outside, it immediately attracted the attention of the commoners. These commoners were all waiting to open up wasteland, and they were waiting for Liu Feng's arrangement.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

With the sound of horseshoes, the civilians gave way one after another, and then followed the carriage. They knew that the city lord was going to the Youshui River, and the newspapers this morning also stated that the floating bridge was going to be cut.

"How is the arrangement of farm tools?" Liu Feng looked out through the gap in the curtains, and saw that someone was tearing down the old city wall, and dozens of draft horses were transporting mud.

"It's been arranged in the warehouse at the port." An Li said softly, she had already arranged it a few days ago.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The carriage quickly left Xiyang City. Liu Feng opened the curtains and looked at the scene outside. There was no snow at all. He is wearing a thin moon-white Hanfu today, and he can't feel the cold. The current weather is not like the winter just passed.

This cold snap came and went quickly. As soon as the cold snap is gone, the temperature here will suddenly rise. If you have a weak constitution, you may have caught a crazy cold.

As the carriage traveled all the way, Liu Feng's expression was very solemn, causing An Li and Mina to look at each other, wondering what's wrong with the young master. After the two looked at each other, it was Mina who spoke first.

"Master, what happened?" Mina saw a saber in her sleeve, and she looked to see who would dare to make the young master feel bad.

"There is something troublesome." Liu Feng said in a deep voice. After he left the city, the ditch outside the development territory was full of water, and when he thought that there was no rain these days, he knew where the water came from.

"Master, what's the trouble?" An Li wondered, she looked out the window, but she didn't find anything.

"Didn't you realize that the snow melted too quickly?" Liu Feng remembered that he could still see snow a few days ago. Such a thick snow melted all at once, especially near the Forbidden Mountains, where all the snow layers in the mountains melted The amount of water will have disastrous consequences.

"This..." An Li turned her head and looked out of the carriage window again. When she saw the rushing water in the ditch outside, her face became serious. She knew what the young master was worried about.

"Xink." Liu Feng shouted out of the carriage window.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The sound of the horse's hooves slowed down slightly, and Xin Ke slowly slowed down from the front to parallel with the carriage, and said respectfully, "My lord."

"Immediately send someone to inspect the west side of Xiyang City to see if there is a lot of water and where the water is flowing." Liu Feng ordered with a serious face.

"Yes." Xin Ke said respectfully, let the horse slow down again, and then ordered people to go to work.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The carriage soon arrived at the port, where many people had already gathered, and the pontoon bridge was a distance above the port, above the dock.

"Don't stop, go directly to the pontoon." Liu Feng said in a deep voice, he was a little worried about the safety of the pontoon.

"Yes." No. 2, the carriage driver, replied, and drove the carriage forward.

"I hope it won't have too much impact on Xiyang." Liu Feng sighed, he didn't expect such a potential crisis.

"Master, it's fine. If there is any problem, it will be recorded a few years ago." Mina comforted, and the cat's tail twitched at the fox-eared lady.

An Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Yes, if there was a flood, Nicole would have reminded the young master a long time ago."

"It's better to be careful." Liu Feng shook his head, he was always cautious in his work. Especially before these life-threatening disasters, if you don't take precautions, once it really happens, there is no need to buy regret medicine.

Ten minutes later, the pontoon arrived.

When Liu Feng got off the carriage, he saw that many people were already waiting, such as Tori, Solo and others, as well as the Niujiaoniang who maintained order.

"Master, you're here." Tess came forward with the Overlord Spear.

"En." Liu Feng nodded, walked towards the Youshui River with a solemn face, staring at the rushing river.

"What's wrong, young master?" Di Si was a little confused, she turned her head to look at Fox-Er Niang with a questioning look in her eyes.

"It's like this..." An Li stood on her toes, pulled Tees's horns, and whispered in her ear.

"What?" Tess stared at the young master in disbelief with her purple eyes. If there was really a flood, it would be a big trouble.

"My lord, I am Fei Lu, a book seller."

"I have met the Lord City Lord, I hope the Lord can give me some time."

"..."

The people around greeted Liu Feng respectfully. If it weren't for Mina's sharp eyes and the saber in her hand, these businessmen would have squeezed over.

Liu Feng nodded to everyone, walked towards the pontoon bridge, looked at the wood standing beside the pontoon bridge, the scale on it had been submerged to the number three, indicating that the water level had risen by three meters.

This increase in water level is very dangerous. If it rises another two meters, the port and docks will be flooded. If it rises to six meters, the river will flood to the gate of the city.

Moreover, the water level has risen by three meters, almost reaching the maximum impact force that the pontoon bridge can withstand. You must know that the pontoon bridge is built at a corner of the Youshui River, which happens to be a buffer zone, otherwise it would have been taken away by the turbulent river water.

Liu Feng touched an iron chain on the pontoon bridge, and found that it was very tight, which made his face very solemn, and the wooden board made a sound of 'clicking' from time to time, which meant that the river was hitting the wooden board and the hull.

"Go, call the cow over here." Liu Feng ordered Xin Ke who was following closely behind.

"Yes." Xin Ke immediately ran not far away, and Deputy Director Niu Da was arranging people to guard him.
