Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Gu Ding learned the speed magic array map, and the time for the group to go back to Bailuling was greatly shortened.

After being out for such a long time, everyone is more or less homesick. As the lord, Tang Bo is naturally worried about the development of the territory if he is not in the territory.

Tang Bo wanted to see the effect of the reservoir and canals. Now that it has entered the summer drought period, they will be able to see the results of their busy work from last year to this spring.

But when he approached the tadpole tail in the red taro village and approached the primeval forest, Tang Bo asked Yanren and Baidou to take the people back to the territory first, while he planned to take a look at the primeval forest.

Originally, Gu Ding also wanted to go together, and said that he has enough self-protection ability now, and maybe he can help Tang Bo.

But Tang Bo shook his head and said to Gu Ding: "After you go back, go to Sanshu City first. If you encounter anything, write it down first, and don't deal with it in a hurry."

"Pijie, you need to help the young master a lot in this regard." Tang Bo also instructed Piget.

Piglet was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed. He also thought of the reason why Tang Bo called him to stop.

On the contrary, Gu Ding, the lord of the Three Trees, didn't react at once.

But Gu Ding saw the change in the expressions of the two, and soon thought of one thing.

The reason why Sanshuling is much richer than Bailuling is not only that its water and soil are more fertile than Bailuling, but also because Sanshucheng is located on a traffic artery.

Whether it is Luma City going to Erta County and Sita County, or people from the two counties going to Luma City, most of them will pass through Three Tree City.

In spring, everyone is busy farming; in autumn, everyone is busy harvesting; in winter, it is not suitable to go out.As a result, summer has become the season with the most frequent traffic between caravans and office workers.

And Sanshuling is also used to holding a market in summer. This trading market lasts for two months, and these two months are also the time when Sanshuling has the largest number of foreigners.

Calculating the time, the trading market should have already started.

Although Gu Ding had already instructed his subordinates what to do when he set off, he also dispatched two "store salesmen" from Bai Luling who were good at arithmetic, smart, capable and enthusiastic to go to Sanshu City to help host the opening of the trading market.

But there is still a big difference between the presence of the lord and the absence of the lord, especially this year, the Sanshu collar has changed the lord, and the lord is an unremarkable child.

A little lord who is said to be only 11 years old, if the owners of the surrounding territories don't come to inquire about it and take advantage of it, it will be a ghost.

Similarly, the dragons crossing the river and the tigers descending the mountain who came to do business here may also bully Gu Ding, who is young, and overthrow all the previously negotiated conditions, such as the amount of transaction commission.

There are also some transactions that are not allowed to be carried out by the Three Trees collar, and I am afraid that some people will carry out them in the Three Trees City, such as some shady black market transactions.

The weak little lords and the lack of management in the market are the most likely to attract ghosts and monsters. Once these people settle down in Sanshu City, they will form a new force against the local lords, thus making the Three Trees leader in the future. Territory of chaos.

"When we left, we had already imagined all kinds of possibilities. If it really happened, I would kill all those who came to Sanshu City to take advantage of it." Gu Ding said with a murderous look, and now he has more confidence.

Tang Bo patted his head, "I mean you should lurk back secretly first, don't show up, and see if anyone is looking for trouble in secret, if there is, write it down, and take care of it when I come back."

Gu Ding looked up: "Not to kill?"

Tang Bo smiled softly: "Don't rush to kill, you must extract all the value of the enemy first, if you really can't extract it, it's never too late to kill."

The team then separated, and Yanren and Baidou would take a few children back to Bailuling first, and then told the outside world that the lord was going to visit a friend and would not come back until some time later.

As for Gu Ding, he didn't tell the people in the territory that he was going out with Tang Bo, but told people that he asked Pijie to take him on the business route, to familiarize himself with the business routes and trading partners of the Three Trees Territory.

Although the leaders of the Three Trees are a little uneasy about the fact that the little lord has not returned, they accept it well. They are busy every day, with much more work than before, and of course their income is also high. They were relatively free in summer before, but this summer, Many Sanshulings have found good-paying part-time workers at Bailuling.

Bailuling has set up many workshops, only thread drawing, weaving, kiln firing, mud brick making, mountain cracking, mining, lime making, etc., require a lot of manpower.

The leaders of the three trees are still unable to touch the technical points of these jobs for the time being, but there are as many jobs as the simple coolies.

The leaders of the three trees were withdrawn, and there were fewer people left for the leaders of the three trees to open the market.

But Gu Ding had already made arrangements before he left. He recruited the soldiers left by Gu Hui before, and turned them into security managers, and let them be responsible for all aspects of security work in Sanshuling. Among them, the summer trading market was Datou.

Because of the more scientific market management plan given by Tang Bo, and two store salesmen brought the original market manager to manage the market together, Gu Ding was not very worried at first, and he didn't care about this market either. set will succeed.

If you don't succeed this time, it's a big deal to do better later.

But Tang Bo's words also reminded him that he can take this opportunity to see who are trying to get over the border, and see if there are any available manpower and dishonest guys in the territory.Taking this opportunity to catch everything in one go, first to enrich his wallet, and second, to make Sanshu collar "cleaner".

Gu Ding thought very optimistically, but when he quietly returned to Sanshu City and saw the actual situation, he almost exploded with anger.

Gu Ding hated that brothel for a long time, and wanted to take it away a long time ago.

But because those women have no other place to go for the time being, Gu Ding didn't know how to arrange them, and he didn't want to ask Tang Bo what to do about these prostitutes, so he turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye to the brothel. The cum casino stayed.

As a result, this brothel has become even more smoky now, and some people have killed the stewards inside, pretending to be the boss of the brothel, not only withholding all the income, but also engaging in black market transactions in the name of Sanshuling.

These evil forces from outside really don't pay attention to his young, young, leader, master!

The words are divided into two parts.

Tang Bo walked along the edge of the primeval jungle, relying on the water vapor perception with the power of the river crab, and walked to a place with less water vapor.

Xiaotian knew that Tang Bo was choosing the location of the salt mine, so he also flew out to pick and choose.

"This primeval jungle is not bad. There are many animals, trees, and rivers. This king should put the salt mine under here."

"No." Tang Bo still wants to develop this way. This virgin forest is his resource, and he doesn't want to be destroyed by the earthquake.

"It's just a few mountains raised, and the creatures on the original surface can still live on the mountains."

"No, it will damage the water source."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, where are you looking for?"

"here."

Tang Bo climbed up a hill and looked at a large piece of land at the foot of the hill.

This is to the east of the red taro collar, where there are faults in the primitive jungle, and there is an endless stone forest here. The ground soil looks very barren, and there is hardly any green.

Moreover, the temperature here is relatively high during the day, the air is very dry, and it is very cold at night.

On the opposite side of this desert is a crouching dragon-shaped mountain range, and on the opposite side of the mountain range is the Principality of Lanji.

The Crouching Dragon Mountain Range is actually a part of the Wuyun Lingqianli Mountain Range, which extends all the way. This continuous mountain range stretching from north to south for more than 1000 miles is the long national border between the Principality of Lanji and the Principality of Luma.

Going further down the red taro collar is a high mountain that almost no one has set foot on. The high mountain covers an extremely large area and is called the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is said that there are many indigenous savages living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

You can see the sea after crossing the [-] mountains, and there is another huge country on the other side of the sea.

The white deer collar is really very small, just where the needle tip is bigger.

"How about this stone forest desert? There are not many creatures here, and the place is big enough, at least a few hundred miles long. A few mountains suddenly bulge here, and people will not notice it. The point is that it will not affect the surroundings."

"This is the White Deer Collar?" Xiaotian asked disapprovingly.

Tang Bo shook his head, "Not yet, but it will be soon."

Xiaotian flew out and flew back about half an hour.

"Yes. The stone forest and desert are empty. If I move the salt mines, I can fill some of the holes and put the rest on the surface, so that there won't be too many mountains that are too high. There are some more hills."

"Empty?" Tang Bo thought of the karst terrain, "Did you see the underground river below?"

"Yes, there is a large underground river, and this king also saw a large underground lake."

An extremely bold idea appeared in Tang Bo's mind: "...Your Majesty Xiaotian, can you change the terrain? I mean you can fill the salt mine into the underground lake you mentioned, and make this lake appear on the surface ?"

Xiaotian flew in front of Tang Bo, "Human, what do you want to do? Do you want to create a salt lake?"

Tang Bo did not deny it, and said in a seductive tone: "You have also seen that the high-quality refined salt I want to provide you needs to be boiled, but boiling requires a lot of dry firewood, a lot of fresh water and iron pots, and the efficiency It is extremely low. But if the boiling is changed to filter and dry salt, the efficiency will be completely different, and the quality is not worse than the boiled refined salt, and can even be better."

"Filtration? How to filter and dry?" Xiaotian is still very concerned about the supply of refined salt.

Tang Bo briefly talked about the method of filtering and drying salt. When Xiaotian heard that it was necessary to artificially create salt flats, he had to go through several stages of water release, filtration, sedimentation, mixing, and protection from rain and wind and sand, etc., so he knew its salt. Bug people can't do it.

Only humans spend so much energy on food.

"This method can really make the more delicious refined salt you made last time?" Xiaotian asked again with certainty.

Tang Bo nodded affirmatively: "The climate in this desert is very suitable for drying salt, and there is still no wind, which reduces the pollution of wind and sand. If there is a large salt lake here, drying salt here will definitely produce very high-quality refined salt. "

Xiaotian said without much hesitation: "Yes. I can stuff all the salt mines under and around the underground lake, and then collapse the stone forest above, so that the salt lake can be exposed to the surface. In the future, if the water in the salt lake If it’s not enough, this king can also divert part of that underground river into the salt lake.”

"Great! That's it. Um, there won't be an earthquake this time, will it?"

"Don't worry, at most a little bit, it won't be serious." Xiao Tian replied nonchalantly.

Tang Bo was relieved, let Xiaotian out and let him act boldly.

He wants to watch the desert stone forest turn into a salt lake.

The next thing he has to do is to occupy the red taro collar. The salt lake is here. Of course, it is impossible for him to hand over the salt lake to others.

And once he captures the red taro collar, he will be able to connect the large unowned land to the east, and he can also concentrate on developing eastward until it borders on the Principality of Lanji.

In the eyes of others, the red taro collar is tasteless, because this territory is close to the Shiwan Mountain on one side and the Stone Forest Desert on the other. Both sides are dangerous and not easy to develop.Although on the other two sides, one side borders the Red Mountain Territory by Linhe, and the other side can go west to Sita County, but the Red Taro Territory is a backcountry that the nobles of the Luma Principality do not want to come to, and they do not want to divide the territory here.

But for Tang Bo, compared to developing in the hinterland of Luma City, it is the kingly way to occupy the red taro collar and quietly develop in no man's land.

He can transform the stone forest and desert into a salt lake, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains can be used as a resource area, which will be developed slowly in the future. If he encounters an enemy that cannot be defeated, he can lead the people to flee to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The tadpole tail of the red taro collar is connected to the white deer collar, and now there is an additional valley waterway that can be connected. That valley waterway can be opened, so that the distance between the red taro collar and the white deer collar can be greatly shortened.

If he can also occupy the Hongshan Territory, then he can connect the area south and east from the Sanshu Territory, and he can also have two relatively large rivers.At that time, it is really time to retreat, defend and attack.

In the future, he can slowly push forward along the two rivers, whether it is to the Wuyunling and Wuta County in the north, or to the Sita County in the west, it doesn't matter.

Tang Bo thought about the future and made a five-year plan for himself.

Within five years, he must occupy both the Red Taro Territory and the Hongshan Territory.

"My king is about to start."

"Well, let's start."

Rumble!

Tang Bo, who was shaken from the top of the mountain and rolled all the way down the mountain, shouted angrily: "Xiaotian!" Is this what you mean by feeling a little more shock?

On that day, people in the red taro leader who were two hundred miles away felt a strong shock, and many things on the ground jumped up and rolled around like jumping beans.

The red taro leader was terrified, shouted "an earthquake", and ran around like headless flies.

Many flimsy thatched huts were knocked down, mud houses were shattered, chickens and dogs barked wildly, animals ran wildly, and the Lord of Red Taro was so frightened that he hid under the table with a bag of gold coins.

Not only the red taro collar, but also the Hongshan collar near the red taro collar, and the white deer collar felt the shock.

Hongshanling felt the shock more severely, while Bailuling held down the shaking tables and cabinets at home. Many people were frightened and didn't know what to do.

It was the first time for them to encounter an earthquake. Without common sense of earthquake preparedness, they could only do things by instinct.

It was Yanren, Baidou and Aji Alang who had already experienced an earthquake. They heard some protection knowledge from Tang Bo when an earthquake came. Yanren asked Baidou to ring the bronze bell quickly to inform everyone to go to the open area. concentrated.

Bai Mingzhu, A Lang and other older children comforted the children in class, told them not to be afraid, and led them out of the classroom to stay in the big playground.

Yan Ren even took a group of people to check the canal, fearing that the canal would burst and cause the water inside to rush out, which would be another disaster.

The three tree collar inevitably became a mess.

Gu Hui rolled his big eyes and scolded Tang Bo unceremoniously.

He is not a fool, Tang Bo said that he had a way to take away the salt mine, and as a result, the Devil's Mountain collapsed a hundred miles to the east.Not long after Tang Bo came back, an earthquake occurred in this area where earthquakes are said to be rare.If the earthquake had nothing to do with Tang Bo, Gu Ding could dig out his own demon seeds!

"Bastard! Don't even say hello to us. I'll see what you do when the canal bursts!" Gu Hui scolded angrily.

Tang Bo also wanted to beat up Xiaotian violently, he couldn't imagine how panicked Bailuling and other territories would be.

Fortunately, the tremor this time was not as strong as that of Devil's Mountain, and the time was very short. After only two consecutive tremors, everything stopped.

When Tang Bo got up from the ground, he saw that the large stone forest in front of him disappeared without a trace, and there was a huge deep pit on the ground that could not be seen at a glance.

Tang Bo walked for a long time before approaching the deep pit. He probed into the deep pit and saw that the water inside was glistening and the water level was rising.

The exposed edge of the pit is translucent, which is obviously the salt mine that His Majesty Xiaotian transferred from the Devil's Valley.

A large number of salt mines piled up on the bottom of the lake, making the lake water continue to rise.

There are too many salt mines, and there are several small hills bulging beside the lake with a diameter of hundreds of miles.
